TALMADGE SAYS
DEAL IS MADE
And Ills People Have Acquired Santa Fc
Central.

The Financial Chronicle, published in
New York City, and which is regarded as
authority on all matters transpiring in
Wal Street, in its issue of this week, an
nounCes that the Santa Fe Central Rail-
way has been sold to c. L. Talmadge
and associates for $4,000, 900. In this
same matter, the Roswell Daily Record
published an interview on Saturday even,
ing Of last week with c. l.. Tallmadge in
which he says:
81 will say that the sale is practically
made. All the details have not been ar,
ranged, and therefore it is nota case or
Signed, sealed and delivered. That is
the reason did not want to say the deal
was closed.
q would like to say, also, that the ex-
tension to the Pecos Valley is going to
build, and the Tallmadges are the ones
who are going to do it, regardless Of whom
we represent. | have told you that we
represent ourselves partly in this matter.
Since it is part of our affair, we will
devote our best efforts to the proposition,
and the speed with which we promoted
the road in Texas and have gotten it
started, ought to be sufficient guaranty Of
our ability in this line. The extension
here will be built, beyond any doubt
"The development of the Pecos Valley
is yet in its infancy. The work that we
and other companies have accomplished in
settling up the valley will be along new
and broader lines: | will not be satisfied
until there are all kinds of enterprises
here, including one or more large beet
sugar factories. We are here to stay
like the Pecos Valley and wish to see it
prosper, New Mexican.

An n%icipation.

When heightened pause comes in some
music sweet
And listening souls in passive silence
wait,
The true musicians then anticipate
Not needless of the leaders rhythmic
beat
Those new harmonious measures that
shall fleet
Past them in al their grand responsive
state.
And smile when there come pealing
soon or late
The very notes that they had hoped to
greet.
So from earth's music grand true souls
divine
Through Life's strange silent pulses,
deeply felt,
Celestial strains that all the soul shall
melt
To floods of rapture. Ali how eyes will
shine
And greet them thus: 80 heavenly songs
of mine
I knew and loved ye while on earth
dwelt."
Edmond Burke.

stammer to Yourself.

To the many correspondents who
have written inquiries and suggestions
as to a cure for stammering we may
state that this is not a medical bu-
reau. This writer gave his own meth
cd Of curing his own particular nerv-
GUS disorder, which is probably
shared by many of his fellow men. Let
it be repeated in answer to many who
seem to have seen the problem and
missed the solution. Consume your
own smoke. If you must stammer, try
to stammer to yourself. When you
have tut-tutted and gur-gurred suf1-
ciently to yourself, you will be ready
with the word. 1t is quite astonishing
how soon the inaudible stammer be-
comes unnecessary and the word is
whipped out! But there are some men
who hug a stammer-stammerin al
ways in the right place-lifting curl
osity to tiptoe in the listener. Charles
Lamb stammered, but always In the
right place, as when he went to buy
cheese (the story may be quite untrue).
The shopman offered to send it home.
Lamb inspected it. Then he asked for
a bit Of string. II think" he said, 81
could Ll-l-l-ead it home" London

Dfsraeli's Retirement.

In 1876 Mr.. Disraeli was raised by
the queen to the peerage under the
title Of Lord Beaconsfield, and he left
the house of commons before the news
Of his elevation to the house Of lords
had been made public. His withdraw
al from the stage where he had played
30 long the leading part in a manner
obviously devised to avoid any sort OF
ovation was in accordance with the
dignity which characterized the re,
naming years of his life after the de-
feat Of the Conservatives, when the
general election Of 1880, in consequence
Of the Midlothian campaign, had ter
minated his public career. No appli-
cant for his opinions on any subject
ever received a postal card from Lord
Beaconsield. No speech was ever
made by him at railway stations. He
died In 1881 as he had llved-alone, a
stranger amid strange people. After
his death his memory became to Eng
lish Conservatives an object Of almost
sentimental affection; to English Radi-
Gals it remained an object Of never
failing animosity. But to Englishmen
Of all politics, to Conservatives and
Liberals alike, his life continues to be
q constant puzzle, an unsolved enigma.

The FIorentine Epicure.

Your typical Florentine is epicurean
TO the toe tips. His enthusiasms and
yearnings are quite other than those
Of the northerner. Give him 2 francs
a day for life, and he will toll no more.
He may be a marquis and seventh or
eighth in direct descent, but he will be
content to forego the assertion of his
rank so he may thenceforward enjoy
the priceless boon of leisure and inde-
pendence. His leisure he will dissi-
pate at the cafe with perhaps two
three-halfpenny sweet fluids per diem,
and you may study the effect Of his in
dependence in his courtly manners
even though his hat be worn at the
brim and his coat back be deplorably
shiny. He is pellucid brook, shallow
as you please, yet engaging for his
pellucidity. AS he sits on the red vel
vet cushions and looks forth at the car
riages and gowns Of fashion in the Via
Tornabuoni he shows no trace Of envy
ON his open countenance. What, in
effect, have these rich ones more than
he save the ennui of modishness and
the indigestion of high feeding? The
monuments and blue skies Of Florence,
not to mention the glorious or stirring
memories of its history, are rather
more his than theirs.-Cornhill Maya

Not a Clothes Peg.

Peggie Newton had been a faithful
household drudge for years, and had
not grumbled much when her wages
were occasionally passed over. But as
time went on, and her salary fell more
and more into arrear, she ventured to
ask for something ION account"
"Why, haven't paid you your wages
lately, Peg? How careless of me, ;"
her mistress said. "'I'm sorry 1 have
no money in the house just now, but
here's smart cloak that I've ceased to
wear, and which is only a wee bit out
Of fashion. You'll take it in lieu Of
wages, won't your"
''No, ma'am, I'm sure 1 shan't," said
Peg, wrathfully eying the faded old
cloak. "a peg may be by name, but
I won't be the sort Of peg that people
hang castoff clothes on-not if know
it."-London Answers.

Old Whist Terms.

The following passage is from the
Adventurer, No. 35, March 6, 1853:
''On Sunday last a terrible FIRE broke
out at Lady Brag's, occasioned by the
following accident: Mrs. Overall, the
housekeeper, having lost three rubbers
at whist running without holding a
swabber Notwithstanding she had
changed chairs, furzed the cards and or
dered Jenny, the footboy, to sit cross
legged for good lucl), grew out Of all
patience and, taking up the devils
books, as she called them, flung them
into the fire, and the flames spread to
the stewards ROOM"
Swabbers are the ace Of hearts, the
knave Of clubs and the ace and the
deuce Of trumps at whist. To furz or
fuzG is to shuttle the cards very care
fully or to change the pack.-London

PUZZLES FOR SCIENTISTS.
Many Problems In Nature which MAN
Cannot Solve.

Cannot Solve.
A scientist who has been travelling In
Africa in search of an answer to some
| questions concerning rainfall gives as
| his opinion that the expression Of i'm
perturbable calm on the face Of the
sphinx arises from the fact that she
has never tried to find the answers to
the riddles Of nature, which have sent
| many men to their graves. What Is
gravity? Is one of them. Hundreds of
men have gone insane trying to an
swer it. Some, In fact, have gone so
far as to try to disprove the theory en-
tirely. An English naval captain wrote
book on this subject and sent 1t to
all the learned societies in Europe.
Why cannot force be created by hu-
man power? Trying to accomplish this
has fastened the end of many a worthy
man. Perpetual motion will be an ac-
complished fact If we can discover how
force Is made. Keely, with his motor,
who claimed to have discovered per-
petual motion, was a swindler whose
death revealed his ingenious counter
felt Of perpetual motion. If this discov-
y
ize the world.
What source of heat supply has the
planet Mars? This is another riddle.
Our earth gets much more heat from
the sun than does Mars, yet that plan
ct has a beautifully mild climate. AS
tronomers have watched the Ice cap
thawing on Mars, and they have prov
ed that water flows and clouds rise.
| This shows that Mars has heat. But If
| it is not supplied by the sun from what
| source does 1t Gomez
| Where the tide is born is another o1
natures secrets. On the island of Pa
pete, in the southern Pacific, there Il
every day at IL midday and 2 in the
afternoon high tide. Why no one Is
able to explain. A scientist has beer
able to turn gold into silver, but nc
one so far has been able to make a
magnet which will attract gold. Could
this be accomplished its enormous
value could scarcely be realized, for 1t
would make 1t possible to work rock
from which no known process has been
able to extract gold In paying Quanti-
ties.
Why it rains is a question to which
no definite answer has been given.
Blue sky does not necessarily mean
fine weather, for there may be just as
much rain overhead when the sky is
clear as when the clouds hide the sun.
When rain falls from a cloudless sky
it is generally believed that the mois-
ture has been brought by the wind at
great elevation. In the south Allan
tic it has been known to rain for more
than an hour while the sky was en-
tirely free from clouds. In the island
Of Mauritius 1t is not at all uncommon
for rain to come from cloudless heav-
en-. Slight showers fall during the
evening when the stars are shining
brightly. 1t is thought by some that
these showers are the result of parti-
cles of ice formed In the higher region
of the atmosphere melting and falling.
Others attribute it to currents of warm
and cold air travelling In opposite di-
rections, with the result that the lat
ter condenses some Of the moisture In
the former and causes 1t to fall In the
form of rain.
