WASHIAGTON'S BIRTHDAY
The Day Was Pretty Well Observ.
ed in AlamOgordO.


While all of us recognized that
Wednesday was Washington's
birthday, yet only a few, COM
paratively speaking, observed
the day.
. The shop boys were out all day
enjoying themselves and most
of the store-room force took the
afternoon. A few picnicers went
out to the White Sands and a
few others strolled about the
park and quietly remembered
George Washington, Father of
Our Country and who, it is
said, never told a lie. It is also
said that the reason that the
youthful Washington chopped
down the cherry tree with his
hatchet was because he couldn't
find his fathers ak.
Aside from the greyhaired
University of Pennsylvania con
fering the degree Of L. I. d. up
on President Roosevelt and the
Emperor Of Germany in honor Of
Washington who himself receiv-
ed such a degree by this institu-
tion in 1888 there was no other
occurrence worth mentioning.

The flies were buxzing about him, led

But the files kept right on buzEing about

BITTEN BY A
FOX He SHOT.

When He Saw the Animal
Thought II Was Dead.

William Messler, of Smith street,
a motorman in the employ of the

Messler caught sight of a big fox. He
shot the animal and it fell. Messler
thinking that he had killed it, ran up
and was about to pick the animal up
when it snapped at him and caught
his hand. 1t took some time before
the fox would let go it's hold, but
the mouth was finally forced open.
MIR. Messler brought the fox home
and then went to a doctors where
he had the wound dressed. He is

1t is not known what changes may
be made in the makeup of the senate
committees. However, it is not ex-
pected that Senators Kean or Dry
den will be changed in the ~re-arrange-
ment. Senator Kean has been chair
man of the committee on Contingent
Expenses, one of the most difficult
committee assignments of the sen
ate, and so admirably has he admin
istered its affairs that there is no
doubt about his continuance in that
capacity. Senator Kean is also a
member of the committees on For
eign Relations, Claims, Territories,
Interstate Commerce, and Private
Land Claims.
AS chairman of the committee on
Enrolled Bills, Senator Dryden took
up the position once held by the late
Senator William j. Sewell. 1t is an
important committee with plenty OF
work attached to it. The senator is
also a member of the committees on
Canadian Relations, immigration,
Interoceanic Canals, and Library and
University of the United States.
While the representatives will all
have new seats with the usual draw
ing for seats, Senators Kean and
Dryden will probably retain theil
same seats. Senator Kean has seal
No. II, the second in the front row
TO the right of the vice president
while Senator Dryden will occupy
seat No. 40, the third seat in the sec
ond row, not far from that of Sena-
tor Kean. C. S. A.
