On account of the rain on Monday
night the attendance at the artesian water

articles of Incorporation and bylaws were
read, but their adoption was postponed
until the next meeting, which will be in
connection with the regular meeting of the

NEW MEXICOIS
GOOD ENOUGH
Dr.. Amble Returned from Trip and Reopen
Office at Manzano.

DR.. c. j. Amble returned last Monday
from an extended trip into the interior
of Mexico. He is pretty we'll satisfied that
New Mexico and Torrance county espec-
tally, is good enough for him, and he Will
reopen his office at Manzano.
"On one trip of fifteen days" said the
doctor, 'amining engineer and myself pen
etrated the Teotopeck mountains, 300
miles south of the City of Mexico, into
country so rough that we Travelled with
the utmost diffi-uty, our trail going first
up hill, then down, encountering the most
radical changes of climate. The vegeta-
ton grew prolific, and rain fell almost
every day. At the foot of the mountains,
the thermometer registered los and flies
were thick, while up on the mountains
snow fell instead of rain. We found lots
of mineral on our prospecting pilgrimage,
with silver and gold values running as
high as 500 ton, but the difficulties en-
countered in getting the ore to the railroad
makes mining there of this grade of ore
unprofitable."

Roman System Of FIGURING.

Counting on the fingers was a reg
ular system for the young Romans.
They would make eighteen move
ments with the left hand for the num-
bers below 100, and eighteen with
the right hand for those above. Two
kinds of counting machines, called
an abacus, were also used. One was
a board strewn with sand, on which
geometrical figures were drawn. The
other was frame, with balls moved
in grooves to represent figures, with
a special contrivance for doing frac-
tions. AS teachers were not very pa
tient in those days, arithmetic might
be said to have been learned less by
rule than by ferrule..

The Saver and the Miser.

The miser is the poorest Of men,
for, while he lives solely for self, he
gets less out Of life than any other
man. He has money, but denies him
self the things that money can buy.
In making money the end, instead of
the means Of life he narrows his pur-
poses and achievements down to moth
ingness. But the despicable example
of one miser nor a thousand can ever
shake the firm foundation upon which
rest wholesome saving and thrift. The
soul Of thrift is saving. Most men
who have learned the trick Of making
millions at a single deal first learned
how to double their pennies. To the
man who would becoIne rich the habit
Of saving, once firmly fixed, is his most
important capitalist. Louis Star

In Belgium horses often cost more

many Of the women often trudge
miles with one heavy basket slung
over their shoulders, another on their
arm, and third balanced perfectly
on their heads They tramp along in
the glaring heat until they reach the
neighboring market. They they find
no time to rest. They empty their
baskets, never thinking that in car
rying such a load they have perform

all day they return with three empty
baskets, one strapped TO the back,
another on the head, and the third on

ROOT OF ALL HUMAN SUCCESS
Struggle of the Race TO Get Away
from Poverty.

The struggle to get away from pow
erty has been a great l2an-deyeloper.
Had every human being been born
with a silver spoon in his mouth-had
there been no necessity put upon him
to work--the race would still be in
it's infancy. Civilization owes more
to the perpetual struggle Of man to
get away from poverty than to any
thing else. It is not poverty itself,
but the effort to get away from it,
that makes the man. We are so con-
stituted that we make our greatest
efforts and do our best work while
struggling to attain that which the
heart longs for. Power is the result
of force overcome. The giant is made
strong in wrestling with difficulties
1t is impossible for one who does not
have to struggle and to fight obstacles
to develop fiber or stamina. "To live
without trial is to die but half q man"
Success.

FIRST STORY OF IMAGINATION
Written by Ennana of Thebes for
Eqypt's Crown Prince in 1900 3. c.


The Tale of Two Brothers," writ
ten 1920 years ago by the Theban
scribe, Ennana, librarian Of the pal
ace to King Merenptah, the supposed
Pharaoh Of the Exodus, is the Oldest
work Of fiction extant.
The tale was written apparently for
the entertainment Of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti j.
His name appears in two places on
the manuscript-probably the only sur
viving autograph signatures Of an
Egyptian king.
This piece of antique fiction, written
on nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold
hieratic hand, was purchased in italy
by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold it IN
1857 to the authorities Of the British
museum, where it is now known as
the d'Orbi1oy papyrus.
Other specimens Of ancient Egyp-
tian fiction have since come to light,
which appear to prove that the Nile
valley was not only the birthplace OF
the arts and sciences, but was also the
cradle Of romance-Stray Stories.

who have come over here TO enter the
six-day bicycle race i'm Madison Square
Garden next week and win, II they can,
the championship OF the United States
and the world, may not be allowed 20
compete after all. They are the famous
Georget brothers, Leon and Emil. winners
OF the first six-day race run I'm France.
It Is not on account of any sporting dis
qualification or infraction of the rules OF
the game that they will be debarred from
the track. but Uncle Sam quickly found
in the brothers "a physical defect which
may. or may not. according 10 the nature
OF the alment. result I'm their exclusion
from the country.
The winning French team arrived here
last Saturday on La Lorraine. OF the
French line, and Il did not take long for
the sharp surgeons Of the United States
Marine service 10 discover that both the
Georgets were afflicted with a disorder
of the eyes that looked like trachoma,
tho incurabio aud contagious affiction OF
90 many aliens who must be deported.
Each OF the riders had slightly in1amed
eyes. In order 10 mako "A moro exhaustive
examination the brothers were sent to El-
lis Island. where they have ever since
remained. ON Sunday morning they were
sent TO the hospital on the island. where
their eyes are now undergoing close
scrutiny.
II their trouble proves 10 be nothing
more than n slight weakness they will
be allowed 10 land in time TO ride in the
race. II IL should prove to be real ira

among the peasantry OF Europe, they will
be sent back on the next steamer
DIR. Stoner, chief OF the medical bureau
on the island expressed surprise yester-
day that the condition and detention of
the riders were known. Said the doctor:
"Oh, yes; they are over there in the hos
pital. We have not yet decided II IL is
genuine trdchoma. If IL is such, thew will
of course. have TO go back. IL IL is only
an eye trouble. not infectious, they may
land. We will know I'm "A very few days"
Since their detention under observation
the Georgets have communicated with
friends. who are making every effort TO
have them discharged. Bonds 10 almost
any amount have been offered for the
safety OF tho pair.
Winning the French race. i'm which the
conditions were Identical with those of the
coming Madison Square Garden race, has
given them confidence that they. can du-
plicate over here their performance in
Paris.
To be separated at the outset from their
friends and duarantined in hospital with
QUO the expected opportunity TO train, to-
gether with the uncertainty OF their posi-
ton has greatly discouraged and discon-
tented them. They fear that. even If they
should be released I'm time to enter the
race, their lack OF training and opportun-
fly to become acclimated may lose them
tho prize.
Reasoning that they were the cham
pions OF France, they fondly expected TO
become the champions OF the world also.
la Lorraine sailed for France today
but it Is thought that the nature OF their
malady will not definitely be known until
after the departure OF the steamer.
