The HumOr Of PathOs.

"The statesman | liked best in my
youth was Daniel Webster" says Mrs.
Letitia Tyler Semple, who was mistress
of the White House during President
Tyler's administration and who recent
ly celebrated in Washington her S3d
birthday. ''He was a handsome man,
and he talked well. | remember a
banquet one night, when the subject of
death and dying came up, and Mr..
Webster told us a story that was half
funny and half pathetic.
"IIe said that an old woman lay very
i'll, and after a time she went off into
trance. She lay so still in this trance
that they thought the end had come,
and when she opened her eyes again at
last, her husband said to her in a sur
prised tone:
" Why, Mandy, we thought ye wuz
dead.
"The poor old woman looked at her
husband moment. and then she burst
into tears.
And ye never bawled bit,' she
sobbed. 'Ye thought wuz dead, and
yer eyes wu2 dry. Couldn't ye have
bawled little bit, ] 'bez?'
THE old man was deeply moved, aid
he did actually bawl then. But his
wife said sadly:
D." It's too late now. Dry yer eyes.
II I'd really been dead and ye'd bawl-
ed 'twould have done me some good.
But it's too late row. "

Attempted Assassination.

We had rather be bareheaded and
baldheaded than have our caput decked
with the crown of the Car of all the
Russias, He has had another ex.
perience that will doubtless keep him
awake for several nights. A conspiracy
was formed to blow up his entire palace
by placing explosives in various cor
ridors and rooms in the great building.
As yet only the scantiest details are OBJ
tainahle, but number of arrests were
made, the prisoners belonging to the
upper classes.
The attempt appears to have been
abortive, and was prevented from be.
ing a success by the merest chance.

TAKe Notice.

We ask the attention of our readers
to the new dry goods advertisement in
our columns this week Mr.. Bolich has
been in Deming for many years, and
is one of our best known citizens and
leading business men. And he does
not consider it waste of money to adj
vertise his goods and let the people
know what kind of stock he carries.
His old customers know he gives
them the best bargains, and the most
for their money Of any store in town,
and the later arrivals, who are compar-
ative strangers, most of whom take
the Graphic, will certainly find it ia
their advantage to patronize Bolich's
store.

Everybody's Canoe.

TRY to please everybody and you
will please nobody" is a well-known
truth, and brings to mind the following
story:
"A man in a forest was building a
canoe along came a traveller, and told
him he was shaping the bow althogeth-
er wrong, and he advised him how to
fix it. The man changed it, and the
traveller passed on. Presently along
came another traveller, and, stop
ping to watchprogress, suggested some
other improvement, which the man
made. Not long after. third came,
and also rendered his advice, which
was accepted. The man having finish
ed after the wishes of the travellers,
suspended it from a tree, and commen-
ced TO make another after his own ideas;
so when the fourth traveller came along,
and asked why he did this and that, the
man looked up quietly, and said, "See
here, stranger, this is my canoe; there's
everybOdy's canoe (pointing to the
nOndescrspt) in that tree.

Il Is Coming.

In an article in the Electrical World,
Nicola Tesla says within few years a
simple and inexpensive device, readily
carried about, will enable one to re.
ceive on land or sea the principal news,
to hear a speech, lecture. a song, or
play of musical instrument, conveyed
from any other region of the globe.
The invention will also meet a CRYING
need for cheap transmission to great
distances, more especially over the
oceans. The small working capacity of
the cables and the excessive cost of
messages are now fatal impediments in
the dissemination of intelligence, which
can only be removed by transmission
without wires.

been in Deming for about fifteen years,

Here is a puzzle that puzzles every
body: Take the number of your living
brothers, double that amount, add to il
three, multiply by five, add to it the
number of living sisters, multiply the
result by ten and add the number of
deaths of brothers and sisters and sub
tract $50 from the result. The right
number will be the number of deaths,
the middle will be the number of living
sisters and the left the number of liv-
ing brothers. Try it and see.

Deming Ahead.

San Diego has the lowest death rate
per LOCO OF any city IN the United
States, Exchange.
Yes, but we have known of three
and four funerals per day in that Eden
bower for several days in succession.
But it is only fair to state that they
were victims of the white plague, who
had gone there hoping to be restored
by the mild climate of that locality.
In our judgment four consumptives
will be restored to health in Deming to
one in San Diego.

Truly Popular.

Wherever woman is really popular
you will note that she has hearty, af-
fectionate, natural manner which puts
to fight and to shame all the kangaroo
hand shakings, the artificial society
smiles and all conventional small talk in
the universe. The woman whose life is
spent in an effort to do the convention
ally proper thing shrinks into pitiful
smallness beside the woman who is sin
cere and naturally warm hearted and
sympathetic. This makes woman
magnetic, to be sincere, warm hearted
and sympathetic.

CHANGED Hands.

The old French Louie" Restaurant
next door to Bolich's store, has this
week changed hands, and Mrs. Roun-
tree is now the proprietor. This is not
her first venture in the business here,
as she has conducted a boarding and
eating house in the Baker building on
East Silver Avenue for nearly a year.
So she brings to an old and popular res
taurant stand knowledge of and prac-
tical experience in the business. Mrs.
Rountree will manage to get her share
of the business.

BAD CITIZENS IN THE SENATE

Two United States Senators have
been indicted Of crimes and have
been sentenced; another was in
dicted and acquitted because the
offense was committed before he
became Senator ;another is charged
with being interested in leases OF
property to the Government at eX-
traOrdlnary rentals; another is in
volved in fraudulent land deals:
another is mixed up in a scandal
growing out of fraudulent transac-
tions in forest reserves. Then
there is the peach from New York
whose character has been smirched
by his conduct in connection with
the Equitable. All of these are
Republican Senators. What is the
Senate going to do about these
cases? 1t objected to Smoot. Is
Smoot the only member who is re-
garded as unfit to sit in that au-
gust body?
