According to western college DO,
who is on his vacation, the college youth
Of this country have put heavy demands
upon the simple tattooer No longer will
hearts and serpents and laurel wreaths
do to decorate the arms of the learned
young. The western college boys say
they must have the names of their COL
iege fraternities in Greek letters done
into the skin of their arms 1t is a for
tunate thing that some use has been
found for Greek. SO long as the alleged
fad endures, some one will have to study
his Homer.

WHAT IRRIGATION DOES FOR

From Political Science Quarterly.

Nile valley in the neighborhood of Mineh the

admirable demonstration of all the forms of irrigation
present in use in Egypt
First there the Nile itself with its high BERN

contain the poorest soil and great of the
annual nundaton and they also form fortifica
on against the sands of the western which under
the influence of the prevailing winds have strong
tendency to encroach the cultivated ground.
1t would be easy to quote multitude of figures to
prove the marvellous increase material prosperity
which has resulted from scientific irrigation. Whether
look at returns of revenue of exports and imports,
of railway traffic the other indications by
which the prosperity of nation is gagged in figures
find the same story of expansion.
The national debt is being steadily diminished, and
instead of vergng bankruptcy the country suffers
from having to buy back its stock at premium in
spite of reductions in the interest. Nor is all
this appearance of prosperity delusive The wealth of
the country is not monopozed by few individuals
ing huge estates while the of the population are
sunk in poverty and slavery Great the sums
which have been spent upon the essential irrigation
works of annual revenue they have been wrung
from the people by oppressive eXaction.
Irrigation has been the first great principle of Brit
sh administration but hand in hand with it has gone the
principle of low taxation Year by year there has been
some remission, tightening of the burden And
this is the most remarkable because until 1899 Egypt
had upon her troublesome war, since then
has had to bear the greater of the of the admin
istraton of the Soudan.-Sdney Peel.

MCKINLEY COUNTY
REPUBLICANS MEET
And Heartily Endorse Joint
Statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona.
MEETING WAS HELD AT GALLUP

Special CorrespOndence:
Gallup. n. w., Oct. 15.-Saturday
night. in accordance with call issued
by the local Joint Statehood commit
tee. the republicans of Mckinley coun-
ty met at the odd Fellows Hall, for
the express purpose of electing a con-
mitteeman TO represent this county in
the territorial executive joint state
hood committee of the league. Long
before the appointed time the hall was
filled with republicans from every pre-
cinct in the county. The announce
ment that there was to be jointure
meeting had aroused great enthusiasm
all over Mckinley county, and when
the meeting opened to take up bust
ness in hand the hall was filled to
standing room only.
John c. Spears was elected to the
chair, a secretary was chosen and the
reason for calling the meeting was ex-
planned. Nominations for committee
man were called, and Alexander
Bowie, a staunch republican, and pres
ident of the Caledonian Coal company,
was unanimously elected as the re-
publican choice to represent this coun-
ty in the great league.
man was announced Mr.. Bowie asked
for the sentiment of the meeting on
the statehood question. The chair, on
motion, called a standing vote; and
every man in the hall with one ex-
! ceptiOn, arose and voted straight for
Joint statehood for New Mexico and
! Arizona. While Mr.. Bowie. will be un-
! instructed as to what action he shall
| fol IN, hn
attend, he was given a clear under
standing of what the republicans of
Mckinley county want in the state
! hood line, and he was emphatically in
| formed by the practically unanimous
vote that they were solid for jointure.
I AS the joint statehood movement is
| nOn-partisan, the secretary was in
structed to inform the chairman of the
| democratic cent. al committee of the
| appointment of Mr.. Bowie of the re-
publican party Of this county, and ask
| that a democratic committeeman be
/ appointed by the democrats of the
| county to cooperate with the repub-
! lican appointee It is understood that
the democrats will appoint one Of
! their number as they are to man
in favor of joint statehood in this
| county.
A committee of five representative
| business men of Gallup was named to
meet the congressional committee that
will soon pass through this city, and
extend a welcome to the lawmakers
and inform them of the sentiments of
the county on the statehood question.
The secretary was instructed to eX-
tend to the congressman an invitation
to spend day in Gallup and visit the
greatest coal producing country in the
southwest.
The meeting from start to finish
was enthusiastic, there being perfect
harmony among all present. If at
any time there has been political dis
agI cement between the members OF
the republican party in Mckinley coun,
ty, the meeting of Saturday failed to
show 1t In the least. The party in
Mckinley county stands today united

WHAT WONDEROUS CHANGE A
SMILING GIRL CAN MAKE
From Youths COMPANION.

The wind east and the chimney smoked,
And the old brown honse seemed dreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked,
The young folks gruwblsd and the old folks croalt
ed
They had come home chilled and weary.
Then opened the door and girl came in,
Oh she was hommely-very!
Her nose was pug and her cheek was thin
There wasn't dmple from brow to chin
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not word of the cold and damp
Nor yet of the gloom about her;
But she mended the fire and lighted the lamp,
And she put the place a different stamp
From that which it had without her
Her dress (which was something in sober brown
And with dampness nearly drippng)
She changed for bright warm, crimson gown,
And she looked gay when she came down
They forgot the air nippng.
They forgotthat the house was dull old place
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom departed from every face
AS they felt the charm of her mirthfu grace
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh. give me the girl who will smile and sing
And make all glad together!
To be plain fair is a lesser thing
But kind, unselfish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.
