Planning for Christmas Gifts
A LETTER FULL OF PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE GIRLS BY MRS. HERRlCK

Now, while this may
be natural. 1t is all
wrong, as your own
common sense will show
you. Don't you think it
would be wise to study
out some ways in which
we can avoid this and
make our Christmas
gifts and our Christmas
itself more nearly what
they ought to be? Let
me give you a few sug-
gestions that may be OF
service.
In the first place, be-
gin your preparations In
time. Don't wait until
the last moment to buy
what you want. There
are several re a sons
against doing so. For
one thing, 1t obllges you
to rush when you have
other things to do.

Roswell, N. NJ. Sept. 14.-Ill and half-crazed by exposeure and hunger Banker John Eiland, who claims to have been kidnapped by Mexican bri- gands, returned to his home in Por- tales yesterday He was in a pitiable plight, and seemed to be laboring un- der great nervous tension, as he told the story of his capture.
 During the last two years Banker Ei- land has met with financial reverses and has lost thousands of dollars. There seems to be no apparent motive, however, of his inventing story about his adventure. Banker Eiland said:
 T was captured August 6 by four men, who robbed me of everything I had. l think it was in the State of Sonora, Mexico, and they immediately carried me into the mountains. I was made to walk every day and was fed very little.
 At night the williams tied me with ropes. Ore of them was the leader and he would disaprer every few days. but would show up again. He acted as spokesman and was terrorized ev- cry day by the bandits armed with 30-30 Marlin rifles.
 ''On pain of instant death they made me write letter to my wife at Portal les, N M., demanding a ransom and compelled me to sign the name of George Reese, and to misspell my name.
 ''I think that it was near the town of Opula (the letter was mailed from that point) They changed positions every day and marched me through the mountrins until the night of Au- gust 20 when I made my escape. I secured a sharp rock and cut the ropes that bound me and left while they slept.
 Tor days I wandered through the mountains in search of a road and lived on berries. seeds, rabbits and young birds, and finally reached rail- road station at a distance of about sixty miles from where I started. beat my way on the lumber train to Douglas, Arizona. and then went to Fl Paso. Texas, where I borrowed money on which to come to Portales." !"
 Banker Eiland was unable to explain why the brigands desired him to mis- spell his name in the letter to his wife demanding ransom.

Hartnan'S Case
 From Other Side
NEWS CONTAINED IN REVIEW SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION IN
 RAILROAD ClRCLES.
General Superintendent H. J. Simmons Makes Statement Regarding Resig- nation, and Says Hartman Leaves E. p. C S. w. Voluntarily.

The announcement contained in the Review of Wednesday morning that Assistant Superintendent Hartman had rendered his resignation to the E. P & s. W. was the sole topic of conversa- tion along the line of the E. P. & s. w. on yesterday.
 The statements contained in the Re- view article were not from hearsay, and the attempt of the evening paper to cover up the NEWS can not be sus- tained by the FACTS. The Review stated that relations had not been pleasant between Trainmaster Brown and Assistant Superintendent Hartman. That is a FACT. The Review stated further that prior to the departure of Master Mechanic Struthers the rela- tions between that official and Assist ant Superintendent Hartman were not cordial That is a FACT also. The Review stated that Tranimaster Brown had forwarded his resignation to Su- perintendert Simmons, and that official had refused to accept it. Another FACT. The Review stated that As sistant Supt Hartman had rendered his resignation to engage in mining business. and that his resignation would be accepted. That is a FACT. The intimation that the Assistant Su- perintendent has not been popular with some of the employees is correct and no official of the E. P. & s. w. would desire to be quoted to the con- trary. The Review further stated that MT. Hartman had done a vast amount of good work for the E. P. & $. w, which is conceded by all of it's patrons. The Review printed the above facts in its Wednesday morning issue, and is prepared to prove them at any time 1t is necessary. The col umn and half article in the evening paper throws no new light on the sub ject except to praise the E. P. & S. w R. R., and to laud the retiring Assist ant Superintendent. The Review has no inclination to take away from either but news is news. and the Review business is 10 print it.
 MT. H. J. Simmons, general superin tendent of the E. P. & s. w, stated or yesterday that MT. Hartman was leav ing the road for reasons of his own and not on account of any friction with l MT. Brown. and further stated thal
 there had been no friction in the E. P
 & s. w. organization. MT. Simmon: further desired to state for publication | that Mir. Hartman had rendered the E
 P. & S. W. railroad most efficient serv ices, and paid him the high compli l ment that he is one of the most eff cient railroad men in the Southwest. AS stated ill the Review yesterday it is likely that no successor to MT
 Hartman will be chosen in the neal future.

St. Louis. Sept. 14.-Louisiana Day at the Worlds Fair was one of the most successful and brilliant witnessed there. The principal event was the address of Governor Blanchard deliv- cred this afternoon. He said.
 "The coalitions which brought about the purchase of Louisiana from Ma poleon are familiar to every intelligent American. That successful negotia- ton was born of American necessity. The benevolent and peaceful assimila- tion of the inhabitants of Louisiana and the consequent tontrot of the Mississippi river was as indispensable as the unification of the thirteen American eommonwealths east of the Mississippi.
 Thomas Jefferson, governing a country just recovering from the rav- ages of long, bitter and devastating war, saw in foreign ownership of Louisiana a serious menace to peace and American development.
 "Candor compels the admission that Napoleon was not stimulated by mo IIves of patriotism. nor 8 desire to promote American expansion and greatness in parting with Louisiana. He was swayed by the motives of expediency, superinduced largely by antagorism to England and English antagonism to him.
