bound for Washington at Philadel-
phia Tuesday afternoon. Every win
dow seat was occupied. The girl walk
ed half way down the car and with
obvious disappointment took the best
seat that offered. A large, superheated
looking man already occupied half OF
it. He held his breath long enough to
make room for the girl, and she squeez-
ed in. Then he settled himself again
and appeared to swell out in every Oh
rection. The girl cast longing glances
at the window, but the mans huge
bulk and open newspaper cut OF her
view. The girl fdgeted. The man
spread himself more and more. Full
three-quarters of. the seat he filed to
overhowing. The girl set her teeth.
Thirty miles spun by. The girl could
endure it no longer. She turned her
face to him.

out on the streets looking for news
items at the same time. We are not
built that way. But our patrons can
aid us in this work with very little
trouble or annoyance to themselves.
Every day something comes to the
knowledge of one or more of our friends
that should find its way to our local
columns. So we ask you all to keep
your eyes and ears open, and when you
discover something Of local interest, let
us know it by some means, either by
calling, through the mails, or by the
phone; our No. is lO5. We desire the
names Of new arrivals; and our
mechanics are urged to give us a point
er on everything in the line of building
or improvements of any and every
kind. We are always pleased to note
the 'just received, of our merchants
to the amount of a local, or of the in
crease in business over former months
of the year.
By so doing you will assist US ana

For this purpose select n nice, kind
amiable, industrious, generous man.
The Anerican variety is far better thrn
the foreign kind Prepare him by hav-

which effectUallwrender him easy to
handle. Gently detach him from all of
his old friends and acquaintances and
remove any habits he may have. He
is then ready to can, preserve or make
jam, as you choose.
To can merely deprive him of his
lat,hkey and throw a handful of moth
er-in-law in the house. Men corked up
like this have been known to keep for
years without spelling, though when
they tre opened up, if kept tao long,
they are apt to be sour. To make jam,
prepare as before, but shred all of his
finer feelings by nagging and pound
them into pulp by complaints. To
preserve husband, put as much love
into the heart as it will hold, add an
ocean Of sympathy, world of tender
ness, pound of forbearance, dram
of patience and drop him into it until he
is thoroughly coated over with sugar.
Husbands should always be crystallized
one at time, never in pairs; neither
should they ever be stood in hot water.

The Poultry Industry in New nexicO

The value of the poultry products in
many states Is enormous. In several
states, the value the products exceeds
in value the products of any
other industry. The conditions in New
Mexico are exceptionally favorable for
the production of poultry and eggs, and
yet New Mexico does not. at the pres
ent time, supply the needs Of her own
markets. Large quantities of both
eggs and poultry are imported annually.
Through this medium, large sum of
money finds its way into the pockets
of the Kansas and Nebraska farmers.
This money should be claimed by the
New Mexico ranchmen. And why not?
To the cost of producing the imported
products must be added the cost Of
such items as storage, refrigerator
cars, and high transportation charges
through mountainous country. When
ever the local supply is insufficient to
meet the demands, the market price Is
always fixed by the price of the i'm
ported article. At ruling prices. the
New Mexico ranchman can produce
these products and he can produce them
at good profit. In fact, there is prob
ably no industry that can be made to
pay larger dividends upon the invested
capita than this one; but, it is a bust.
ness, like many others, in which the
greatest success follows the most care
ful study and the strictest attention to
detail
Every ranchman, whether large or
small, who interests himself in these
matters, will not only be made to render
service to the consuming public by
supplying products that can be used
while still fresh but will also be able to
increase the revenue from his ranch
with a comparatively small outlay in
time aud money.

And these two sons were brothers,
Johannus was the name of one,

They said, "We have a feeling
That we can make fortune great

Johannus took the evil way,
And when he got a Jag on,
He slipped into a barn one day
And stole horse and wagon.
But when Josephus went to steal
In his bluff, honest, hail way,
He made a little Wall street deal,
And nearly stole railway:
Johannus met the horse thief's fate.
And now in Jail doth banker;
Josephus, decked with honors great,
Is now a wealthy banker.
