a method that gets results. and what
more could one desire. They advertise
in the papers only when they have
something special to offer, and then
they want plenty of space and
"screamer'' type-something like the

the buyers, and that is all any style
of advertising can do. The goods and
the salespeople must do the rest.

roo MANY DIVORCE CASES.

SHS.S
of Hasty Divorce Case in
Strong Opinion.
Tie following opinion was render
ed recently by Judge Pope in a di-
vorce case in the Chaves County
court and shows how he stands on
the rapidly increasing divorce cpl
demic that is sweeping over this Sec
ton OF the territory.
The Opinion.
The record in this suit shows the
parties were married on May 6, 1906,
lived together about three weeks in
the southern part of this county, and
separated on May 27, 1906. The plain
tiff husband files suit for divorce on
July s, a little over two months after
marriage. The divorce is asked sole
ly on the ground that wife had
abandoned the husband and returned
to her mother at Roswell. The di-
vorce will be denied. The time in this
case intervening between marriage
and the institution of this suit is not
sucn as to indicate that reconcilia-
ton is hopeless. If some of the energy
displayed in employing ounsel and
prosecuting this suit had been utiliz-
ed by the plaintiff in making home
and the marriage relation attractive
to the defendant, perhaps this suit
| would have been unnecessary At any
rate the haste with which he seeks
to dissolve the marriage relation in
dictates a mistaken conception of it's
character. 1t is not a relationship to
be cast aside upon the existence of
ton of these latter is one of the du-
ties imposed by the marriage VOWS.
| parties shall be permitted by the
marriage ceremony to live together
as husband and wife for three weeks
and then promptly upon application
| be given a decree dissolving the bond
of matrimony upon such a pretext as
this record presents. Such a tenta-
| tive experimental relationship thus
| hastily terminated constitutes an ep-
ISOLDE little removed morally from the
relationships which the Edmunds Act
and similar laws denounce as highly
penal. The plaintiff testifes he tried
once, and after suit was brought, to
induce his wife to return to him. If
he will try a number of further times,
and with some of the pertinacity
which doubtless characterized his
courtship, and if h still fails at the
end of a year from this date, he may
bring a further suit showing such
efforts and the Court will reconsider
the matter. 1t is a sufficient DISPOSE
ton of the present case, however, to
enter judgment Diminishing it without
prejudice, and sucn order will be
made. (Signed)

Santa Claus and the Blind.

Monday afternoon at3 O'Clock
the Christmas tree at the Blind
Institute was enjoyed by the un-
fortunate ones now in that in
stitution. Many of our people
attended and many of those were
surprised who witnessed the
program, the interest taken by
the blind children and the en-
thusiasm of those in charge.
Valuable presents were distri-
buted among the children and
these presents came from the
liberal hands of Alamogordo peo-
pie under the care of r. H.
Pierce and Supt. Gill.
Did you hear those little ones
sing? Blind. but with voices
that touched your hearts as
sweet messages from heaven?
Did you see the educated
fingers touch the piano keys and
hear the melodious response?
The performer was blind, but
the music was as sweet, as per
feet, as tune and harmony could
make it.
You were made to feels better
by your visit to the Institute.
Life is for more than mere dol

lars aud cents. The human heart
was made for more than the
love Of the dollar. Life is worth
the living when lived for others.
Miss Rapier of the public
school and her class bought a
number of toys and these were
very much appreciated by the
little ones.
The Institute is moving along
nicely. This, of course, is it's
hard year, but after this year no
more trouble will be experienced,
as when the parents and guar
dians of these blind children
learn of the treatment and the
work being done there will be
no more trouble.
As every one knows, parents
have a kinder feeling for child
that is blind than for one with
all its faculties. This is perfect
ly natural. Human sympathy
compells us to love an unfortun-
ate child. And when these chill
dren go home for their vacation
and tell their parents of treat
ment they receive and of the
work being done then the sue
cess of the New Mexico Institute
for the Blsnd will be a certainty.
Mr.. r. Fl. Pierce has his whole
heart in the success.of the In
stitute and its work. He is
building monument to his
memory that in years to come
will work for the good of un-
fortunate human beings.
Mr.. Pierce states that he had
no trouble in getting up presents
nor money for the Christmas
tree. A number of our good
people sent him both money and
presents without a bit of solici-
tation. This shows the spirit of
Alamogordo people. Our hearts
are right. Our intentions are
good, and all we need to prove
it is the opportunity!
