No Holiday for Her.

People have different ideas as TO
what constitutes a holiday-or vaca-
ton. Mrs. Pettis had her own firmly
fixed opinion on the subject.
4 don't count Thanksgiving or
Christmas or Washington's birthday
or any of those holidays she said,
frankly. 20 an CID friend one day.
What count a holiday IS when Ezra
aud Jim and Bob ard Liphlet so of
up to the wood lot with their dinner,
and know they won't be back Ill

I'm not one tc deny that men folks
have their good points, but how any
woman can call II q holiday when
they're in the house. calling for food
by looks when they aren't by words. is
beyond me.7-Youth's Companion.

kubus Of sumstra Never Talk With
Stranger.

SNf offS<fs
There is a very singular race OF
people in Sumatra, the Kubus. who
are too timorous ard shy to mix with
he other races OF the island, and
dwell in the recesses of the forests.
They are looked on as interiors by
The Malayss and thought to be little
Better than beasts. Such is their shy
ness that they will never Willingly
face a stranger
Their trade with the Malayans is
consequently carried on in strange
manner. The trader announces his
arrival by beating gong, and he Their
retires. The Kubus approach, put theiI
forest treasures on the ground, beaI
a gong, and retreat.
The trader returns, and lays his
commodities down in quantities suffi-
Client, as he thinks, for the purchase
Of the goods CT sale. Then he retires
and the Kubus reappear and consider
the bargain.
And SO, after more Withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re-
spectiver parties come to an under
standing. and carry off independently
their bargains.
The Kubus live on snakes, grubs,
fruits and the flesh of any deer or
pigs they can Stay. They are skilful
spearmen, and throw stones with mar
yelous accuracy.-Stray Stories

Q large proportion of the patients lying

unawares, but every one of those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small

manifest themselves. do not drag along
until you are obliged to go to the hos

The Tucumcari news. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1906-06-30

In this issue of the News will be
seen the announcement Of d.. J..
Aber as a candidate for the DEM
oCratic nomination for Probate
Clerk OF Quay County, subject to
the decision Of the democratic
party. This candidate came to
Tucumcari before any Tucumcari
was built, and as civil engineer,
which has been Mr.. Aber's calling
since 1876, he surveyed and plat
ted the townSite, and has since that
time, five years ago, resided here;
has acquired considerable prop
crty, and has built for himself and
family a comfortable home in this
city. Previous to moving to Las
Vegas, Mr.. Abcr lived at Medicine
Lodge, Kan, where he was county
surveyor, and civil engineer in the
construction of bridges for his
county, had charge of the construc-
ton OF city water works and other
improvements in Medicine Lodge.
After moving to Las Vegas, he
laid out street grades, and con-
structed side walks and sewers for
that city. Mr.. Abcr is a man of
good English education, and is
capable Of holding the position to
which he aspircs, and he informs
US that he has been in the ranks
battling for democratic principles
all his lite, Look up his announce
ment.

Education is the keynote to the
preservation OF h C republic.
Statehood offers us S5,ooo,ooo for
the public schools and 3o,ooo, 900
acres OF lands for state institutions.
The man who has children to ed
ucate should not oppose state
hood. The pro-statchood papers
OF Arizona should get this idea
before the people.
The Tucumcari news. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1906-06-30

With statehood we should and
will have a much lower rate OF
taxation, as well as ample funds
for internal improvements. We
feel the need Of good roads and
bridges in Quay County right
now. 1t seems impossible that
Arizona should reject such advan-
tages and insist on making herself
a despised black spot on the United
States map for another half CEN
turv, with no other prospect then
than Joint statehood with NewMeX-
leo, or worse, maybe, tackled on to
Utah. Such damphool ideas as
are advocated by a few Arizona
newspapers on this question lead
some people to believe they are
sucking at the pap of syndicated
interests, who are afraid Of an
equitable rendition Of taxable
property under statehood.

written for THE CoMhoNwEALTH)
The n. G. Soldiers Home at Raleigh
is an ideal place. The sweet Christian
influence of Supt. r. II. Brooks and his
noble wife is sufficient itself to make it
a ha+en oil rest Tor those who so brave
ly served their country's eat1es. There
are those there as inmates who are yet
possessors Of considerable wealth but
have made 1t their home through
choice and necessity. The manage
ment of the home is perfect and all the
work Is done with system. The best
care is taken with each individual.
They are well clothed, we'll fed and in
sickness they receive the best medical
attention. 1t is a very pretty place,
new hospital new dormitories, large
comfortable rooms. The men seem 60
happy and we'll contented, they are
amply supplied with choice literature,
receive the daily papers. They spend
their time reading, writing to absent
ones, and occasionally assisting In such
light work as they are able to do, while
there are sothe few who erjoy the
pleasure of having as their friends
some pleasant lady acquaintance of the
city, On whom they lavish such gifts
as fruits and CONNECTIONS. They seem
to get along as so many brothers TO-
gether-esch seems glad to make it
pleasant for the other. II all the Z.
D. C's could visit the home they would
be filed with renewed enthusiasm as
they see for themselves the great and
noble work that is going on.

Deafness Cannot be- Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an inflam
ed condition of the mucouslng OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
irllamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafuess is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh which is moth
ing but an lnIlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
