not very good citizen and has no
kick coming no matter what boss or
set of gangSters get control through
that negligence. II you stay Mt home
you ought to be satisfied with any
sort OF dose the gang hands out Ia
you. The Tribune dwells mt length
on this matter because II believes that
most OF the faults of popular govern

creased interest In the primaries of
the two leading parties. Usually
these primaries are attended by half
dozen henchmen or the party ma

ality repi {. tating only the particular

As Will be seen by the official call

can county convention will be held at
Rocky Ford, Monday. September 10.
me primaries In the various precincts
VIII be held on Saturday. the Sth.
This Is n very short time between the
call and the convention. but sufficient
to give notice to all interested-and
every member of the party ought to
be Interested. The Importance of at
tending the primaries cannot be too
strongly urged. 1t Is here that the
real work of the campaign is done
The people OF Otero county are Just
now about the busiest people on the
globe and this fact will tend to reduce
the attendance upon the primaries.
However the time required will not
be long and the political duty is an
important one. Therefore, let some
thing else go by default and attend
the primaries next Saturday afternoon.

To The People Of the Territory Of
New AexicO.

The New Mexico Institute for the
Blind will open at Alamogordo, on Mon
day, Sept. 10, 1906. All blind and par
TALLY blind children Of the Territory,
soundin mind and body, will be admit
ted as pupils of the school. AS in the
states, the law Of the Territory provides
the age limit to be from to q years.
Our school course embOdies the liter.
airy course as in the public schools, and
in addition to this we propose to teach
other branches. Wewill have experien-
ced teachers for each department, and
music, vocal and instrumental, as well
as physical culture, and the proper use
of the hands, which is very necessary
for the blind people, will be taught.
The institution affords to every blind
child in the Territory the same priv.
elage for acquiring an education as is
given to their more fortunate brothers
and sisters. 1t gives free board and
logding, tuition, laundry, medicines and
other necessities, absolutely free of
charge. Only those who are able to con-
tribute will be charged the actual cost If
board, etc. Parents Of blind children
may safely intrust them to the fostering
care of the school and its management.
S. II. Gill Of Tennessee, who was for
nine years instructor in the Tennessee
school for the blind, situated at Nash
vile, is Superintendent Of the instruc-
ton, and Miss Louise Butler, who also
has experience in teaching blind chill
dren, and others suitel for this work
will he ih charge.
] shall begin correspondence at once
with those whose names have been hand
ed to me, specially request physicians,
directors of schools, men in public Of
fi,ies, and others who know of blind
children ir this section, to assist us in
locating them.
Thanking the public and the press in
advance for any favors which may be
| extended.

OId.Time Doctor.
Selected.

Here is something which depicts in
graphic way the old time Cape Cod doc
tor.
Father was a doctor-a genuine
hemp-seed, corn-fed country physician
of the gray-haired class Of our Oldest
school. He neither wore kid gloves nor
practiced in them. His patients either
had to get we'll or die, with no lettering
on the way, He felt the pulse with one
hand and poured castor oil with the 9TH
er.
put your trust in castor, was faith
er's creed, and he lived it and admins
tered It.
Castor oil was both his diagnoser and
his curer. He gave it anyway II It
worked, we'll and good; If not, he used
some other lubricant, or else admins
tered liberia! doses Of more energetic
concoctions. There were no milk and
water mixtures IN his medicine case.
But castor oil first; castor oil, the
disease-seeking chaser of everything
within its reach; and by the Great
Tablespoon it reachad about every
thing.
Dear old man, how he loved to pour
his strenuous oil into the struggling
mouths, and TO watch the distorted
faces indicate its tortuous way as 1t
sped on, and on, and anon, pushing be-
fore it the foolhardy obstacles which
dared dispute its right of way.
Everybody said, the other doctors
not protesting, that father was the
best physician on the Cape; his fame
lodged everywhere, from the county line
to the Ca end-croOk. Day by day his
old white mare, his one-hOrse chaise and
his well-filled oil can pilgrimaged to the
outlying towns, curing as they went
II the case was ordinary, an ordinary
dose of castor OIL If the case was OBJ
. mate, more oil to smooth diseases S
path away. If the case was too easy,
still some oil, that the patient should
not forget his illness and might be eff
fectiyely fabricated against relapse.
Woe 10 the shs mining patient, the en-
ioy-sickness kind, with nothing the
matter with him! Father made some
thing the matter with him or made him
feel there was something the matter
with him, with relentless rapidity.
Literally. father poured oil upon the
troubles OF suffering humanity, and he
poured il well.
