with rough water prevailing. Born on
the shore Of Connecticut and winning
livelihood by hard tasks at sea, the
Brooks boys never knew what failure
of physical strength meant and to-day
they take as great hazards as ever they
did in early life, thinking nothing Of
dangers.
From their earliest days the broth
ers possessed a great desire to follow
the water and as boys they shipped as
cooks on fishing smacks and followed
along until they became full-dedged

They were playing a quiet rubber Of
whist and had called for a new deck Of
cards. One Of the players was an old
timer. a card player Of years OF ex.
periencc. and he took up the old worn
out cards aud put them ON the window
sill. Throw them in the fire. said
the young man who was his partner.
"Whatr' said the elder. Throw a pack
OF cards In the fire? Young man. you
don't know what you are talking about.
l wouldn't do 1t for $1,000" why
notY' Superstition" was the answer.
Burn a pack Of cards and they'lrnever
give you another hand and viii mock
you to the last. They're bad enough
at best, but you never saw a gambler
curse the cards or abuse them or burn
them or otherwise Ill treat them. He
doesn't dare to. know a successful
card player who did it. He was dwell
ing on velvet then. In a year he was
a beggar, and he never won a game
worth mentioning forever after. It's
whim. but the gentlemen of the cloth
Of green respect 1t. They won't burn
a pack Of cards."

Tonic Eject Of Laughter.

We are not disposed to say anything
about the physiology of laughter, but
we are prepared to affirm that as a
tonic there is nothing within the pos.
sibilities Of human experience that can
match a good, hearty laugh There is
something democratic about laugh
that makes it impossible to distinguish
whether 1t Is a prince or a plebeian
who is moved to merriment. Hardly
greater tragedy could be perpetrated
than to wrest the power of song from
the birds, but that would be small
calamity compared with the filching of
laughter from life. If the conditions of
this world could be such as to afford to
every human being the frequent en-
JOyment of pure, hearty peal Of
laughter. there would be no need that
other favOrs be conferred. This alone
would be ample testimony that happi-
ness was paramount in the lives of
men.-Baltimore Herald.

1t Is old wool redressed by scientific
and clean methods 1t is a component
Of most of the wOoIen garments of to-
day. The world does not grow enough
wool to enable us to have constant
supply of new woolen garments except
with the aid Of shoddy. 1t is shoddy
that has enabled the workingman to
buy new SUIT Of clothes at the price
OF weeks wage. In the Olden days
an old all woolen garment was so ex-
pensive that 1t had to last its owner
many years unless he were wealthy
man. 1t is better hygiene for a man
to buy two new shoddy suits year
than to buy an all wool garment which
must last him two years. Most of the
clothes we wear, in fact, contain an
element Of shoddy and, so far from be.
ing the worse for 1t, are the better.-

10 tear pack of cards in two is re-
garded by some as a marvellous feat Of
strength, and yet the trick is possible
to any one with fairly strong fingers.
The secret Of the trick lies in the fact
that the entire pack is not torn at once,
but in pretending to get grip on the
pack the strong man SO manipulates
the cards that they overlap. In this
way but single card is torn at time,
and once the surface is torn the rest is
easy To any one who can hold pack
OF cards firmly the trick is fairly easy,
and while in Olden times a single pack
OF cards was considered to be the limit
Of strength many of our strong men
tear three and four packs at time.
The cards are restored to their origi-
nal form before being given out for
examination, and so the trick escapes
detection.

Injured Brakeman Dies,

j. B. Helmns, Southwestern
brakeman out of Tucumcari on
the Dawson line, was injured in
the yards at Tucumcari Wednes-
day by being mashed between
bumpers, and was brought to
hospital here, and lived only a
few hours after his arrival. His
wife came on next train, and
not knowing just the extent of
his injuries, asked how her hus-
band had rested during the night,
and the answer to her loving in
quiry was that her husband was
dead. The Odd Fellows looked
after the body, he having been a
member Of that order, and the
remains were shipped to the old
home at Canton, No., for burial,
followed by the widow and little
child. The deceased was about
35 years Of age.

PLOT TO ROB
And Burn Discovered Scheme
Of Some MsUIesns Overheard.

A dastardly plot to rob and
burn w. E. Carmack's place was
discovered on Monday and since
that time Ranger Dudley, Cons
table Sam Nimmo and Night
Watchman Chas. Mcclure have
kept close watch on Mr.. Car
mack's place. The plot was
made up between some Mexieans
and overheard by one of our
good Mexican citizens who i'm
mediately informed one of our
business men and this gentle
man so informed Mr.. Carmack.
The Carmack place occupies sew
eral rooms in what is known as
the Cooper block, and there are
at all times big stocks of shelf
and heavy groceries on hand. 1t
seems that the Mexicans decided
that they could rob the place
and set fire to the building in
order to cover the crime. The
plot having been given away as
it was, and our officers being put
on guard, will make it almost
impossible for the thieves to
carry out their dastardly scheme.
The Cooper block is so located as
to make it hard for thieves to
get ut as it can be watched from
several points of advantage.
The recent fires the town has
suffered with suspicious origin
of the fires is believed to be the
work of burglars who rob and
then burn in order to cover their
tracks. And this scheme to rob
and burn Oarmack's place adds
evidence to the suspicion about
our recent fires and the future
of these burglars will be made
extremely dangerous.

Lumber Company Changes.

Effective on Feb. IA, inst, the
following changes were made in
some of the offices of the Alamo.
gordo Lumber Company j. Z.
Bachtel having resigned as gen.
|eral superintendent Arthur N.
Tibbitts, heretofore mill fore
man, was promoted and made
general superintendent of Ala
mogOrdo Lumber Company bus
mess, with headquarters at Ala
mogordo. John Bassett having
resigned as superintendent Of
the logging camps, Frank Lynch
was promoted and made superin-
tendent of the logging camps
and railroad Of the Lumber Com
pany, with headquarters at Rus
sia.
A. N. Tibbitts has been with
the Lumber Company since Au-
gust, 1899, and has ever been re-
cognized as Of the practical men
in charge of the mills. He was
reared in the pine forests Of Mi
; H
chigan, his father being a lum-
herman. The Tibbits family re-
moved from Michigan to Louis
lana several years ago where the
Senior Tibbitts is now general
manager for a large lumber bus
mess.
\ Frank Lynch is acquainted
with every log in the hills and
is recognized as a thoroughbred
in the logging business.
J, E. Bachtel, the retiring
superintendent, has
many friends here who regret to
see him 60 away, but in the
course of a business life there
are many changes, and the best
Of friends must part.
Mr. Bachtel has not decided
just where lie will locate for the
future.

Rev. Mr.. Pope Here.

Rev. r. P. Pope of Estancia
was here Tuesday on his way to
Weed where he will conduct sew!
eral days meeting for the Bap-
lists of that vicinity. Mr.. Pope
stated that during the last few
months two hundred and sixty
people had located homes in the
in the Estancia country, taking
up government land by home
stead filings. Mr.. Pope also
stated that some of the home
steaders who were on the ground
last fall had sown wheat and
that he never saw wheat doing
better and the prospects for a
big yield is very promising. We
would like to add to this that
what is true in regard to the Es-
tancia country is true of this
valley. Wheat, barley, oats,
rye, alfalfa, sorghum, kafir corn,
milo maize, and the like do re.
markably well when sown at The
proper time with the ground in
proper condition. And, this
community is blessed with
milder climate than Estaneia
which adds much to the comfort
and value of a home. We ire
sheltered all about by ranges Of
mountains that break away Ehe 4
cold northerns, and this is worth
its consideration. 1t is a Iare
or in fact unknown for cattle or
stock to suffer from winter in
this vicinity, whereas in other
sections cattle, stock and sheep
die every winter on account Of
extreme cold and prolonged and
deep SHOWS. Make your home
stead filing in the Alamogordo
country and be happy all your
life.
