Institute Needs More Room.

After inspecting the New Mexico
Military Institute yesterday. Adjutant
General A. P. Harrington states that
the most important criticism he has
to make about the institution is that
it is in the greatest need of more
room. He says that it is a shame the
way the boys are cluttered up and
by all means the Territory should
give them better quarters. He said
that he found the Institute in good
condition He inspects only n mil
Iitary feature OF the school and says
that the drilling is very good. The
health OF the place is splendid. there
being no patients IN the new hospital.

No kowtowing Went.

They tell this one on former Gov
ernor George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time, in the midst of
a campaign, Mr.. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at a little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye state. When he
reached the n hotel the town boosted
ne walked up TO the register and wrote
his name. The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
steward Observation-Disclosures was
behind the desk in his shirt sleeves,
his hat on the back of his head and a
cigar stump held between his teeth
When the visitor had put down his
John Hancock, the factotum turned tbs
register around, read without a flicker
of an eyelid the name there written
wrote 40" beside it with n lead pen
ell and said:
"You kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an back down tn
hall clean to tn end. Yer rooms right
on tn left hand side of tn hall, in tn
corner-number TO-"
With a considerable establishment
md not a little injured dignity Ohio's
chief executive pointed to his name,
smiled family and said:

out turning a hair. "Am yer rooms

With more hauteur, and almost quiv-
ering with outraged Importance, the
guest said impressively:

the state of Ohio!"
Turning then with q look of eN'

B LAND p o

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
report of the transactions of thep pubic
land commissioner, r, p, Fuller, Tor the
first year of his incumbency. All oV'
or the state the people knew OF ms
success through the school funds, but
they have not been prepared for tht
tremendous record the report actually
shows. The schools have received a
grand benefit. Think of it-an Increase
In a single year of 76 per cent to tpe
school funds. Again, the fees SHOW an
Increase of more than 100 per cent
making the land office practically sus-
tanning for the first time in Its history,
This, too, without counting the fees
of the arid land department, which are
not covered into the general fund, but
held for reclamation work in the fut-
ure.
The entire report is Of vital interest
to the people and deserves their care
full consideration. The land depart
ment is the one closest to the people
of the entire state. 1t hits them IN
the pockets both ways, and 1t Is OF the
greatest Importance that there should
be a man at the helm thoroughly COM
petent aud trustworthy in every re
spect. He Is there.

A thrilling story of how the side
slipping of a motor car nearly resulted
in a man being roasted alive is told by
Ernest Esdale, says Motoring Illus
trated. The iDcident occurred in Duh

slowly past a Jain temple. amid the
whooping of natives and the beating
of tom-toms.
"At the temple entrance" writes Mr.,
Esdaie, STOOD two priests. regarding
us with no friendly visage. Bang! And

the road has caught the wheel, too.
In a moment we swerve around. ana,
horror! Smash right into the temple
door. Alas, We have committed sacri-
lege of the worst kind.
I'VE set to work to repair the tire
and just as we had finished a heart
%rending, earpiercing shrek rings out
from the temple Enclosure. We rush
in, brushing aside two juvenile priests,
who try to stop u progress. A crowd
of white-robed priests stand between
us and the inner sanctuary. But the
three Of us are old football players;
the priests are down like ninepins.
I'VE tear the curtain aside and
stand for a moment rooted with hor-
ror. There on a rude altar our poor
native motor boy is being literally
roasted alive. Only a seconds pause
to take in the situation n with a
rush we are on them.

nearest fanatic. we cut the leather
