Strange PeoDle.

Is there to be found in the wild fast
nesses near Maguarichic, Chihuahua,
in the Sierra Madre a remnant of the
ancient cliff jewellers who have re-
mains of their houses high up on the
cliff from Colorado through Arizona
and New Mexico far southwark into
Mexico2 Has such a remnant been
found or is the story on a par with
such tales of that of the band of
striped horses in a beautiful valley
in the Sierra Madre and that of
remnant of Apaches in a deep inacces-
sibIe gorge called 1.-The Hole in the
same range in that state2 The last
two mentioned stories have been ex-
ploded but during the last two weeks
there have come in stories from Ma

The story as given is that Mr. GOOD

and swarthy and entirely different
from the Tarahumaris Indians and
Mexicans of that section Their mode
of life is extremely primitive and they
are very timid avoiding contact with
other people. They will modest no one

arms are bows and arrows. When a
stranger shows up among them they

PREPARATIONS AT CLYDE.
Arrangements Under Way for the An
nuaI Melon Feast.

W. A. Huff, editor of the Clyde Re-
publican, and one of the general mana
gers of the watermelon carnival to be
held at Clyde on August 81 and Sep
TENDER /. was in Topeka today to con-
sulr with Secretary F. D. Coburn and
get material for a special edition of his
paper which he will print at the time
of the carnival
This years carnival will be bigger
than ever" he said to a State Journal
reporter. THE melon crop is simply i'm
mense, and there will be free water
melon and eantaloupe for everybody.
The melons are kept in cold storage for
days before the carnival and brought
out in wagon loads as needed. Part of
the melons are donated by the growers
and part are purchased by the people
OF Clyde. We can buy melons for az
cents apiece, and last year we spent
800 on melons, in addition to all that

within 300 miles. OF course there is not
room in the town for everybody to
sleep, so many of the visitors simply
stay UP all night. There is just as much
going on all night as there's all day.
The carnival is held on the main street
of town, and people who stay awake all
night can usually find a place to sIeep
during the daytime.
clyde is a wide open town, and that
helps. There are five saloons running
wide, and four out of five people in the
town approve of the system. The wo-
men are in favor of it, and it is useless
to try to close the saloons. We expect
10000 visitors at Clyde this year from

No Poetry This Trip. But Lots of
Advice.

At my very first delivery, on my
trip the other day, found Farmer Jim
Watson at the gate with a very sober
look on his face, and when I asked
him if the hog cholera had come along
or his cows been taken with hollow
horn he replied:
abe, perhaps you have heard that
me n my wife didn't allus agree very
well?''
Il believe I have heard some gossip
to that effect" I replied
Yes, it's So, am sorry to say.

head you can't argue it out I guess
we'll have to part
What has happened lately?"
wall last night I was sayin' to one
of the children that it was easier for
giraffe to pass through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven, when she but
ted in and said I was wrong.
How am 1 wrons2 1 asks.
The Bible don't say giraffe, but
elephant says she.
Then we began to argue and dis
pute, and though we kept it I'D for
an hour she wouldn't give in. She
stuck to elephant even when l said [
thought it was better for us to part.
This amt a case to be teched by
poetry, Abe. It's got to have solid old
talk, and what I'm wantin' you to do
is to come in and tell Hetty that shes
got to give in or there's goin' to be a
calamity 1t amt right for wife to
dispute her husband, and If it's kept
up it will drive him from home
Have you got a Bible in the
house?" 1 asked as l got down.
"Of course
"Abe, have you come in to tell me
that I'm wrong?'' asked the wife as we
entered the house. IF you have then
let me tell you that you'll waste your
breath. I know when I'm right, and
won't give up"
"And it's the same with me- added
the husband.
1 turned to the passage in the good
book and then asked:
who says it's a CRATER"
Il do says the husband.
WHO says it's an elephant?"
Il do" says the wife.

THE HEAD HUNTERS COMING.
Band Of Igorrotes VIII Go into Camp
at Vinewood Park.

One of the managers of the Vine
WOOD amusements called at the police
station this morning in search of the
dog catcher. He said he wanted to
get some dogs-short haired, fat ones
preferred He also explained that he
did not wish them for culinary pur-
poses of his own, but to feed the Igor
rote savages who win be the feature of
next weeks entertainment at V1newood
beginning Sunday afternoon.
Only three dogs were found in the
city pound, and they did not fill the
bill as to brief hair and good physical
condition.
About fifteen dogs are required for
the Igorrote 1uncheons. so the park
people say. The bill of fare will be
boiled dog with dumplings, stewed
dog with green peas and cold dog
sandwiches. Any person having fam
lily pets which fill the bill had better

ported that the manager Will let the
dog contract to small boys.

Successful Gardening.

Byrd Kelley was up from the Hardy
Sandies this week on business and to
jolly a bit with his friends. Byrd
says that he and John Adams have
buried the Ratchet, figuratively speak
ing, and are boon companions these
days. John is experimenting in the
agricultural line and Byrd watches his
experiments with intense interest. He
tells of one of Johns schemes which he
emphatically vouches for. He says John
read in an agricultural journal that
squashes could be increased in size by
feeding them during their growth with
milk. So he planted some squashes and
immersed one end of a vine that had a
squash attached into pan of sweet
milk so that it absorbed as much as a
quart a day. The squash grew to
enormous size and was the admiration
of that whole section. But that was
not all. On cutting 1t open it was found
to contain seven pounds and fourteen
ounces of fine rich butter. Unfortunate
~ the squash was seedless. so the varie-
ty was lost to the world.-Hallettsvill
