Scarborough was one OF those men
with nothing evil absolutely known
against them, who are yet locked on.
and no doubt justly, with suspicion.
1T was thought of Scarborough
that for a poor man he ate too much
chicken. And one day the blow fell:
He was arrested for chicken stealing.
"A witness was called to testify
about Scarborough character
Did you ever know this man o
steal poultry?' said the lawyer for the
defense.
No, | never did, said the witness.
But this is what l do know; if | was

An Owl of the North,

1t is midwinter, and from the north
land blizzard of icy winds and swirl
ing snow crystals is sweeping with
fury southwark over woods and fields.
We sit in our warm room before the
cracking fire and listen to the Shrek
of the gale and wonder how it fares
with the little bundles of feathers hud-
died among the cedar branches.
We picture in our minds all the wild
kindred sheltered from the raging
storm; the gray squirrels rocking in
their lofty nests Of leaves; the chip.
monk snug underground; the screech
owls, deep in the hollow apple trees,
all warm and dry.
But there are those for whom the
blizzard has no terrors. Far to the
north on some barren waste of Labra-
dor where the gale first surges in from
the sea, gathering strength as it
comes, a great white owl flaps up,
ward and on broad pinions, white as
the driving fakes, sweeps southwark
with the storm. Now over ice-bound
river or lake, or rushing past a myriad
OF dark spires or spruce, then hover
ing wonderingly over a multitude Of
lights from the streets of some city,
the strong, arctic bird forges south
ward, until one night, if we only knew,
we might open our window and, look
ing upward, see two great yellow orbs
shining down at us; apparently hang
ing in space, the body and wings Of
the owl in snow-white plumage, lost
amidst the flakes. We thrill in admir-
alton at the grand bird, so fearless of
the raging elements. &C. William
Beebe, in Recreation for December.

RHEUMATIC PAINS
Disappear When Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills Purify the Blood and
Heal lnflamed Tissues.

Rheumatism is disease of the blood,
caused by the failure of the body to cast
off certain poisons. External applica-
lions are of use only i'll securing tempo
rary relief from pain-the cure for
rheumatism lies i'll purifying and en-
riching the blood.
Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 SumT ter
street, Sandy Hill, N. Y, was a sufferer
from inf1ammatory rheumatism from
the time she was sixteen. She says !:
"It first appeared i'll my knee joints,
then in my hips and waist. 1t became
a regular thing that would be laid up
all winter. The rheumatism affected
mostly my hands, hips, feet and
shoulders. My hands were all pulled
up and my feet became deformed. I
lost my appetite, couldn't sleep and
sometimes [ was compelled to cry out,
the pain was so intense.
" For several winters [ was under the
doctors care and while his medicine re-
lieved the pain for a little while there
seemed no prospect for a permanent
cure. I was confined to my bed, off and
on, for weeks at a time. My limbs
swelled dreadfully at times and | was
reduced almost to nothing.
In the spring of 1904, upon the adj
vice of a friend, | began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills. At that time I
wasn't able to do anything and could
barely eat enough to keep alive. felt
a change for the better i'll about month.
began to eat heartily and l suffered
less pain. Of course l kept on the
treatment, using care i'll my diet, and
in about three months | was cured. /

own work"

Cumulative Failure.

Very frequently" says New York
lawyer, there is an element of uncon-
scious humor in the findings of a jury.
To my mind, the best I ever heard in
this connection was the verde,
brought in by coroner's jury in Mich
igan, who were called upon to pass
upon the case of the sudden death of
a merchant in Lansing.
THE finding was as follows: We,
the jury, find from the physician S
statement that the deceased came to
his death from heart failure, superin
duced by business failure, which was
caused by speculation failure, which
was the result Of failure to see far
enough ahead"

THE MAPLE SUGAR PROBLEM.

The bureau OffOrestrya Washington
has been studying the maple sugar in
dustry with the view of securing a
larger use of the maple forests. Since
1850 the area of maple sugar farming
has greatly changed and shrunk. In
Indiana. Michigan and Illinois the
maple trees have been extensively cut
for lumber, thus reducing the oppor-
tunity for tree tapping. In those states
also the markets are glutted with i'm,
itations, which removes the incentive
to extending the industry. At pres
ent the largest producers of sugar
maple are Ohio, Vermont and Jew
York. AS a result of the study recent
ly made, infinite directions for the
management and improvement of ex-
listing groves, and for the establish
ment of new ones in suitable localities
and under different conditions, have
been prepared and will soon be pub
stead. Many valuable data degrading
the profit in making maple sugar
were also collected. From these it
appears that a farmer can easily clear
etOut So an acre from a sugar grove.
The expensee in this estimate are
placed at a maximum; all the labor
and hauling are charged in at market
rates, though as a matter of fact the
sugar season falls at a time when the
farmer has little other employment
for himself or his horses. In actu-
al practice, for the farmer who can do
most of his own work, the profit should
be considerably larger. And the land
thus utilized will yield little or nothing
under any other use.

lean Of today, but the greatest ig-
ure in the worlds history of the
present time, Theodore Roosevelt.
What of my telling you of h e
deeds of this great leader of h e
nation that have stirred not o n | y
Europe, but also the Orient. Be
it as peacemaker among nations;
as a protector among American
republics; as a builder of oceanic
canals; as a trust buster OF as a
constructive statesman, he has no
peer among living men and time is
writing his achievements large up
on the pages of history. AS a tri-
ed and true friend of New Mexico,
as a mar especially near and dear
to us, we who knew him before be-
fore the highest honors came to
him, we all respect him and most
of us, yea, l hope all of us, ! o v e
him.
1t is true, he has been misrep-
resented even by this territory, but
what man in public life is o ?
Let me tell you from my limited
knowledge that there is no man in
the national capital who has h a d
or who does have so near his heart
the welfare of this commonwealth
as Theodore Roosevelt, and w h o
understands its needs so we'll. Hell
has planned for it's future as a faith
er plans for his children; he has
helped more than any other m a n
to make the generous provisions
for the great state of which he /,
hopes to see New Mexico the prin- {
cipal part, and in this as in a
other things the father is e v e n I
more f~arseeing than the children. {
Nc matter how some may disagree
with his plans, don't tell me that
the president is not honest in his {
friendship for New Mexico an d /
does not seek to further its b e S t {
interests. II
The commonwealth has b e e n I
fortunate in having at the national
capital the past eighteen months a 1
man who does things; Hon. Will
liam H. Andrews; a man who has
surprised his most intimate friends
in the volume of work he has ac-
complised under the the most dis {
advantageous circumstances imag- i
Unable. 1t is no small matter for
a man to be an errand boy for a
constituency Of 900, 900 people to |
secure $50 pensions from a reluc-
tant pension bureau; to have estab- {
lished new postofices, to do cheer {
fully the n thousand and m o c {
things from getting an increase in

a hundred thousand dollar appro- c
priation for a public building at t
