A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard again
st bowel troubles. AS a rule it is on
ly necessary to give the child a dose
of castor oil to correct any disorder
of the bowels. Do not use any substi-
tute but use the old fashioned castor
oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid
oil ~nauseates and has a tendency to
grippe. If it does not check the bowels
give ~Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose
of castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even in cases of cholera infantum.

He Preserves Law and Order.

An old settler who is one of the
first to be noticed by strangers III
Roswell, for his uniform as chief OF
police and the most perfect carriage
with which he sits upon his horse, is
| Marshal ]. j. Rascoe. He was a COW
| boy in the days when honest men had
to fight for their rights. He helped
brand cattle in times when half the
force Of men a to be on guard ag-
ainst thieves or cattle "rustlers' while
the other men did the work of brand
ing. In those days all honest men were
neighbors, whether they lived on ad-
joining ranches or a hundred miles
apart, and Mr.. Rascoe says the old
honor that ever were gathered toge-
Their in the history of the world. All
dugouts were open to the traveller:
and if there was nobody at home h
stranger went inside, cooked his meal
and went about his business, taking
nothing but the food which was free.
Of the stockmen who settled this val
ley. Mr.. Rascoe says, they eat their
own beef at a time when they might
have stolen cattle by the thousands,
had they been so disposed. There were
"rustling" outfits on both sides of
them, and when a raid was made, ne
neighbors far and near soon gathered
a party of rangers is effective as
official posses, and pursued to mete
out justice by the only means known
to the pioneer days of the oSuthwest.
Mr.. Rascoe was born and raised in
Navarro county, Texas, and came to
this country in 1878, working first on
the Chisum ranch of Seven Rivers.
During the war of the states he was
too young to be a soldier, but remain
ed at home and took care of his mo-
Their and seven smaller children while
his father and elder brothers fought
for the lost cause. He is 81 years of
age, was married in 1862, is the ia
Their of ten children, and has twelve
grandchildren living. For forty-three
years he a lived with the wife Of
his youth, and his sons and daugn-
ters are honored citizens, eligible to
membership in the old settlers socie-
ty of Chaves county. He brought his
family here in the winter of 1879.
Then there was only one little
store in Roswell, run by the late Cap
tain J. C Lea. Cattle, antelope, Ind
and buffalo roamed the plains. In
rs Mr.. Rascoe caught a Buffalo calf
the Pecos River. He gave the
calf to William Jones, who finally lost
it on a horse race. The buffalo was
then slaughtered and eaten to cele-
brate the event.
The C man Mr.. Rascoe met in
New Mexico was NJ. L. Pierce, who
now lives near Roswell. Jake Owens,
now of Carlsbad, was the first man
he met. When these three get toga-
Their they talk for hours about real

Adds to Portaies' Prosperity.

From Portales Times.
The skimming station for Portales
is an assured fact, the required am
ount of capital stock having beer sub
scribed by our business men. This
industry will put into circulation at
least $1,000 per month, where hereto
fore the dairy product amounted to
less than 800 per month. 1t means
that a very few cows will provide all
the household expenses of our farmers
and leave their crops as a clear profit.
This industry provides the one es-
sential heretofore lacking to make
our farmers a self-supporting and
prosperous people. The machinery is
now on the road and in the course Of
two or three weeks the station will
be in active operation.
