POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

People hlrt with trouble too much.
Every big FIRE develops a lot OF natu-
raj born FIRE chiefs
II is all right TO select the lesser OF
two evils II you know which one 1t is.
The way some people have OK being
good Is worse than their way OF being
bad.
When people say to you when you
are in trouble, "What can do for
your be equally conslderate and say,
Nothing"
People are hard TO please. II a man
gets mad easily he Is called "touchy,"
and II II takes a good deal to make him
mad he Is called wooden"
1t is a shame when the baby wakes

THE ssLrEo PLAID.
This was the originat Dress o. tne
scottish Hfghlander.

This Was the Original Dress % tno
scottish HfGhlander.
Tho original dress Of the highlander
was the belted plaid THIS was a
piece OF tartan cloth, two yards broad
and four long. which was drawn
around the waist In nicely adjusted
folds and tightly buckled with belt.
The lower part came down to The
knees in much the same manner az
the modern kit, while The upper part
was drawn up and adjusted to the left
shoulder, so that the right arm might
be perfectly free. This upper part was
the plaid. which was used as a covering
for the shoulders aud body IN wet
weather, and when the use OF both
arms was required Il was fastenedl
across the breast with a brooch. often
curiously enriched. A brooch was also
used to fasten the plaid ON the left
shoulder. To attire himself IN the beit-l
ed plaid required on the part OF the
highlander no small amount OF dexterl-
ty. The usual way was to lay It on
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lie down upon II and then
buckle 1t on. The lower end was fas-
tened at the right hip. The utility OF
such a dress in the highlands Is OBJ
vious. for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared TO
pass a night in the open air In the
most Indictment weather. while the loose
undergarment enabled him 20 wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ease 1t was thus peculiarly adapted
to the warrior. the hunter and tho

The difference between nominal. In
dlcated and effective horsepower often
puzzles people. Nominal horsepower Is
an assumed quantity, used for the con-
venlence OF makers and buyers In de-
scriblng the dimensions Of the engines.
Indicated horsepower is the amount
shown by computations Of the indica-
tor diagram. Effective or actual horse
power is the work an engine can do or
the difference between the indicated
horsepower and the horsepower requlr-
ed to drive the engine when unloaded.

PRAIRIE DOGS.

From Oklahoma 90 Texas.
1.-THE prairie dog migration from
Oklahoma to southwestern Texas dur
ing July, 1874, ecllpsed anything OF
that sort witnessed by white men Ia
this country" said a veteran who saw
It. millions of the frisky little bark
ers must have been In quest OF new
pastures or perhaps feared the APP
preaching leglons Of home seekers
would surely exterminate the dogs and
pillow up the dog towns. The prairie
dog migration from the north to the
southwest lasted six days during the
month OF July, 1874. The travelling
dogs while crossing the Red river In
terfered to a great extent with the
cattle that came to that stream to
quench their thirst. Some cowboys
that we're on the banks of Red river
during the time when the prairie dogs
swan across say that the stream was
chock full Of the little rascals for
many miles up and down the river
The thirsty cattle were either unable
or unwilling TO stick their mouths into
the water through the moving mass of
living prairie dogs The cowboys were
getting ready TO drive the furnishing
stock to a distant stream, but the Red
river became clear OF the repelling
swimmers after blocking the useful
drinking place for about a week. 1t
was generally supposed that the dogs
halted when they had reached the,
staked plains Of Texas.".-Kansas Ciu

Fair Notes.

The third annual Montezuma county
fair was opened at Cortes, Wednesday
morning. The weather is perfect and
attendance good.
The displays in all lines are good
especially the display of vegetables.
The display of fruit Is also above the
average, the northern part Of the valley
showing up fine.
The displays are OH exhibition In
Woodmen hall which has been taste
fully arranged by the various commit
tees SO as to show the displays to the
best advantage. The fancy-work dis
play occupies the front part Of the hall,
and the large tables running length
wise through the hall, fairly groan
under their weight of fruits and vege-
tables.
Wednesday morning was devoted
TO arranging displays. The ball game
In the afternoon was fast one. The
Durango boys were in the lead up to
eighth inning when the Cortez boys
tied the score at s to 8. Six more in
nings were played In which neither
side scored and at the end of the
fourteenth inning the game was called
the score being to 8. Will Springer
Of bayfield,, pitched for C6rtez.
There were two races Wednesday,
bne pony race, won by Tom Cox's
pony, and a harness event, won by w.
H. Ellermeyer.
MIR. F. Wadleigh, assistant passenger
agent of the Rio Grande system is
doing the fair and is very earnest in
his praises Of the county and its pro-
ducts. He says that for diversity of
products Montezuma is surpassed by
no other county in the state. We'd

complimentary things he said about

think we were stretching 1t some.
One noticeable feature about the fair
10 the good natured feeling which ex-
lists among the people present. The
only disagreeable feature is the chronic

free glass Of whiskey in an effort to
buy the vote Of d supposedly free

Loss of Appetite.

When man loses his appetite, has
no desire for food; we know there is
something wrong with him, that he is
sick. 1t is the same with the human
soul. When it has no liking or desire
for the natural food o. the soul, when
the things which cater to the higher,
better nature of the man are hauseat-
ing to the sbul, we may know there is
something the matter with 1t, that 1t
is sick. When the man is sick and
loses his appetite, whatever cures the
sickness, restores the appetite, and
generally the rule works both ways,
and whatever will restore the appetite
will also heal the sickness. Why may
we not hold to the same rule with the
soul? Whatever best heals the soul of
its sickness and restores its appetite for
the spiritual food so necessary for its
development and strength, is surely as
good for the soul as medicine for the
sick man. If there was but one reme-
dy for the mans sickness, one miedi-
cine that would heal him and fully
restore his appetite, 1t would be foolish
ness for him to take anything else
would itnots When it has been proven
by centuries Of experience that Christ
and He only can fully heal the soul,
and restore Its appetite for the food
that is best for it, is 1t not foolishness
for mankind to take any other remedy?
Yet many waste the larger part of life
hunting for something else that will
heal their souls,, aud point out soul
satisfying food.-Word and Works.

Fall piowing is good for land that is
in poor physical condition. Leaving
the ground rough and exposed to the
action of the weather will induce dis
integfation, which might not be had
in any other way. Many fields are too
wet to turn up mellow in the spring.
Fall plowing will keep the soil from
baking and put 1t IN better condition
for spring. Many farmers still cling to
the idea that spring blowing is best for
corn, claifiiing that the seed-bed of
spring blowing is warmer than fall
plowed. However, 1 have noticed
that the iiian who is forsmost with his
spring work always piows all the
ground possible dufing the fall.
