As he Sees it.

Go away back and sit down." and
think It all over. Shut your eyes to
the condition around you to all the
beauty and attractions of this earth Of
ours, and susceptible only to scientific
truth, seek to peer into the future and
behold what is in store for us. One
chap outside Of Deming, has followed
the above prescription and here is what
he saw. II beats hasheesh:
The earth will be but a moumful
cemetery rolling silently about red
star.
The last human family will be ex-
tinct in an equatorial zone, which in its
turn has become freezing.
The last epitaph Of humanity may be
written: Here lie all the conquests
of ambition, all the laurels Of glory,
all the discoveries of science, all the
vows Of immortal love-"
But no mortuary stone viii mark
the place where the last sigh Of the
hnman race was exhaled.
And the sun will have succeeded in
extinguishing itself. And our defunct
planet will continue to revolve, a black
bail about another black ball.
But in twenty, thirty hundred mil
lions of years the universe will go on as
to-day.
There have been twenty, thirty hun
dred millions Of years in which it has
already moved as to-day.
The future Of the universe is it's past.
1t can have no beginning and no end
Nature holds perpetually in reserve
an inexhaustible mine of resurrection.
Everything changes, everything is
transformed, but nothing is destroyed.
New suns and new worlds are born
from the cinders of old ones.
Life is eternal.

The Election.

For an election for town trustees.
that on last Tuesday was unusually
lively for this Eden bower. Hore than
twice the number of votes were cast
this year than last, and quite large
number of Deming's voters were in for
a new administration. But the major
ity of the electors seemed to be salts
fed with the old board and so expressed
themselves by their ballots; and to the
will Of the majority we gracefully bow.
1t will be two years before we shall
prepare our ballots for another election
when, at least a thousand electors will
cast their votes for city councilmen.

A Victoria Blaze.

The Victoria hotel came near having
serious fire on last Tuesday morning.
About three O'Clock in the morning Mr..
Cain, the proprietor discoverd a fire in
one of the guests rooms. And by
prompt action succeeded in extinguish.
ing We learn the fire originated from a
cigarette which the young man was
smoking when he retired. It might
have resulted in his death, had it not
been for the timely discovery of the
proprietor. Fortunately the damage
was slight. Only few sheets, blank.
cts, mattress rugs etc. being burned.
This loss was promptly adjus ted the
same day by the Field Insurance
Agency Of our town. Mr.. h. H. Maley
Is an active representative of this old
reliable agency, and any one in need
of insurance Of any kind, will find Il

tuberculosis, although communicable,
is not, in the ordinary sense contagious
therefore the careful and intelligent
consumptive is never a public peril.
tuberculosis is a house infection. We
don't pick it up on the street as we
may pneumonia or smallpox; we never
inherit it; seldom is II contracted from
diseased milk or meat. 0cca sional

no one; the disease is not contagious in
that sense. But every house in which an
ignorant or careless consumptive has

peril to those who live or work with
him or follow after hlm.
The fact cannot he too often repeated
or too insistently pressed, that con-
sumptive need never be an object of
dread TO an intelligent man. or even a
stupid one, when the patient himself is
intelligent and careful For it is really
difficult matter to catch tuberculosis
except by sleeping in an infected room,
eating with infected ware, or working
for considerable period in a place
where careless consumptives have been
splitting.
If the villages but knew Il, the es-
tablshment of sanitaria within their
boundaries would be not only fnan-
cial benefit, but an actual safeguard
against the very thing they dread.
For of all known places of safety
against infection, properly conducted
tuberculosis hospital is the safest.
Germs cannot survive the vigorous re-
gime of disinfection. In fifteen years
of practice at the Adirondack Cottage
Sanitarinm, rome of the nurses or
doctors have contracted the disease.

We clip the following from the
Douglas American of April 4. Before
reading this clipping our Deming
friends are requested to hang to the
fence, a hitching post, or any old
thing, and get ready to "holler:"
Deming New Mexico, has been chosen
as the site for the proposed national
fraternal sanitarium. The decision is
said to he the result of Deming's gen.
erous offer of land, the towns medium
altitude and the good railroad facilities
Some time ago committee of physi-
clans was sent out to investigate a
number of locations but the leading
members of the committee were d.
rectly interested in Deming and that
town had the sanitarium safely landed
before the party left st. Louis.

In Remembrance Of Charley.

Last week Mr.. ]. ]. LETTERS erected
a beautiful fence over the grave of
Charles F. Heberling, whom we all re-
member so well, having been taken
from our little circle by the solemn
reaper, Death, on the l4th of February.
The fence was sent from FL Paso by
his father, Mr.. J B. Heberling, who
spent few weeks with us and so loved
our Land of sunshine" that he ex-
poets to return and make his future
home here among us.
Mrs. Deemer and Mrs. Jeffers have
planted trees and shrubbery at the
grave, and in a short time we can
truly say that Charley's, grave will be
as pretty and green as our rich soil and
warm New Mexico sun can make it.

Suddenly he gave glad shout. by
Jove, Miss Deane, we are In luck 8
way! There Is fine plantain tree"
The pangs of hunger could not be re-
sisted. Although the fruit was hardly
ripe. they tore ut the great punches
and ate ravenously. Iris made no pre-
tense in the matter, and the sailor was
in worse plight. for he had been on
duty continuously since o'clock the
previous afternoon.
At last their appetite was somewhat
appeased, though plantains might not
appeal to q gourmand as the solitary
joint
"Now," decided jerks, you must
rest here little while, Miss Deane.
I'm going back to the beach. You need
not be afraid. There are no animals to
harm you, and will not be far away"

beach p she demanded.

Of some little service surely?'
He answered slowly: "Please oblige
me by remaining here at present In
less than an hour I will return. and
then perhaps you will find plenty to
do"
She read his meaning intuitively and
shivered. Il could not do that" she
murmured. II would faint. While you
are away I will pray for them, my un-
fortunate friends"
As he passed from her side he heard
her sobbing quietly.
When he reached the lagoon he halt
ed suddenly. Something startled him.
He was quite certain that he had
counted fourteen corpses. Now there
were only twelve. The two Lascars'
bodies which rested on the small group
Of rocks on the verge Of the lagoon had
vanished.
Where had they gone?
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1905-04-21

@IHE sailor wasted no time In Idle
bewilderment. He searched
carefully for traces Of the miss
~ ing Lascars. He came to the
conclusion that the bodies had been
dragged from Off the sun dried rocks
INTO the lagoon by some agency the ma
ture Of which he could not even con-
lecture.
They were lying many feet above the
sea level when he last saw them, lit
tie more than half an hour earlier. At
that point the beach shelved rapidly.
He could look far into the depths Of
the rapidly clearing water. Nothing
was visible there save several varie-
ties Of small fish.
The incident puzzled and annoyed
him. Still thinking about 1t, he sat
down on the highest rock and pulled
of his heavy boots to empty the wa
ter out. He also Invested himself Of
his stockings and spread them out to
dry.
The action reminded him of Miss
Deanes necessities. He hurried to a
point whence he could call out to her
and recommend her to dry some of
her clothing during his absence. He
retired even more quickly, fearing lest
he should be seen. Iris had already
displayed to the sunlight q large Dor
ton Of her costume.
Without further delay he set about
a disagreeable but necessary task.
From the pockets Of the first officer
and doctor he secured two revolvers
and supply Of cartridges, evidently
intended to settle any dispute which
might have arisen between the ships
officers and the native members Of the
crew. He hoped the cartridges were
uninjured, but he could not test them
at the moment for fear Of alarming
Miss Deane.
Both officers carried pocketbooks and
pencils. In one Of these, containing
dry leaves, the sailor made a careful
inventory Of the money and other val
liable effects he found upon the dead,
besides noting names and documents
where possible. Curiously enough, the
capitalist of this island morgue was n
Lascar, who in belt around his waist
boarded more than a hundred pounds
In gold. The sailor tied in a handker-
chief all the money he collected and
ranged pocketbooks. letters and Jew
elry in separate little heaps. Then he
stripped the men of their boots and
outer clothing. He could not tell how
long the girl and he might be detained
on the island before help came, and
fresh garments were essential. 1t
would be foolish sentimentality to
trust to stores thrown ashore from the
ship.
Nevertheless when it became neces-
sary to search and disrobe the women
he almost broke down. For an instant
he softened. Gulping back his emo
tons with a savage imprecation, he
doggedly persevered. At last he psus.
