ARID LAND TO BE RECLAIMED.
Irrigation Will Make New mexico
Blossom Like Garden.

A new star on the flag is the mean
ing of the national irrigation act ap-
piled to New Mexico, where the bios
soming gardens and populous, pros
porous communities of Pueblo Indians
which fourished there when Coronado
sailed up the Rio Grande hundreds OF
years ago are to be revived from its
122,4G0 square miles of arid America.
The Rio Grande valley is to be re-
claimed by a great dam over this ca
PRECIOUS river which one day has lit
tie or no surface flow and the next is
a raging torrent, cutting new chan
nels, carrying off dams, and sweeping
away entire farms. Some of the rich
est mines in the world are to be de-
veloped and a remarkably fertile soil
made to yield its teeming crops. Last
year one onion grower realized profit
in excess of $500 from less than an
acre of Bermuda onions. and a farmer
exhibiting at the st. Louis exposition
was awarded the gold medal for sugar
cane over all competitors, including
those from Cuba and Hawaii. Marvel
Gus yields of alfalfa, cereals, veget-
ables, and fruit are produced.

WEDDING AND FUNERAL ALIKE.
Much Resemblance in Ceremonies, Ac-
cordino to Western Writer.

corulng TO western WFiteT.
There is mighty little difference be-
tween a wedding and funeral. AT
wedding the relations walk slowly
down the aisle, followed by the bridal
couple and a string of attendants. AT
a funeral the relations enter the
church slowly, followed by the coffin
and the pallbearers. At a wedding the
real relations of the bride sit on Cne
side of the church and the in-laW
relations sit on the other. The kin
of the remains take opposite sides OF
the church at a funeral. The organ
rolls out the same deep music and the
odor Of flowers is as heavy at we'd
ding as at a funeral. After the church
services are over the bridal couple
and attendants leave the church first
followed by the relatives, and at a
funeral the coffin and pallbearers are
given precedence of the relatives IN
leaving the church. The same hacks
stand at the door and the professions
in both cases pass slowly out of sight.
After everything is over the relatives
get together and talk things over very
much >the same in both instances.
There are some tears, some criticisms,
some complaints about blunders and
the incidents are closed.-Atchison

OWNERSHIP OF LITTLE VALUE
Art Dealers Purchased Treasures
Must Not Be Moved.

Italy desires the keeping of its art
treasures within its own boundaries
and sometimes with rather odd re-
suits. The other day a farmer, find
ing his finances low, yielded to the
solicitation of an art dealer and sold
him the removable masonry OF two
ancient windows belonging to the
fragment of an ancient abbey, now an
outhouse in his grounds. The gov
ernment commissioner, hearing of the
transaction, visited the farm and Of
fically prohibited the removal of the
windows. The farmer was in de-
spair; he had received his 500 francs
and. like the Irishman, had squan-
dered his fortune in paying his debts.
The commissioner used comfortable
words: You have sold the windows
and he has paid you money which you
have prudently spent. Be content"
But the buyer was not equally con-
tented. He sought out the commits
sioner, who blandly congratulated
him on having become the owner of
the windows, which, however. he
could not remove. Shylocls's pound
of flesh mildly repeats itself in a ton
of masonry.

PUBLIC TRUSTS HIM.
Chancellor of British Exchequer Is
an Honest Official.
He Has Both the Will and the Power
to Protect the Treasury from
Raids Made Upon 1t from
Every Direction.

The present British chancellor of the
a career of steady upward progress.
He has been in succession president of
the local government board, president
of the board of trade, home secretary
and now chancellor of the exchequer.
In each of the offices that he has
previously held he has done good work,
and, in one or two cases, work that has
left a permanent mark upon the leg
islation of the country. Perhaps his
most notable achievement was the
passing of the local government act
of 1888, which esta blished county
councils throughout England and
Wales. This measure was so far in
advance of anything that the liberals
had expected from conservative gov
eminent, that for a time it's author
was nicknamed by them "Ritchie the
Radical.' At the board of trade Mr..
Ritchie had no such opportunity of dis
tinguishing himself as a legislator,
but he was certainly one of the most
active and successful administrators
NAuC AA.'o IlNAu Vic poSt III a. 1oA : tAAA1S
past. From the board Of trade Mr..
Richie was promoted to the home Of
fee, and his tenure of that office will
probably hong be remembered for the
passing of the licensing act of last
year. The credit for fighting this
difficult and highly contentious meas
ure through the house of commons
belongs to Mr.. Richie almost alone.
The measure is certainly not popular
either with publicans or with brewers,
but there is good reason to hope that
it will effectively tend to check drunk
enness. It is undoubtedly the most
courageous temperance measure that
has passed through parliament in the
present generation.
What Mr.. Richie may do in his new
Office it is impossible at the time of
writing to guess. He has, however,
says the London Graphic, already
shown that most valuable quality in a
