The Statehood Steering Meeting"
Club. was largely attended, in spite
of many counter attractions. At least
fifty business men of Roswell were
present, and all showed much inter
est in the business of the evening.
President Kellahin, of the Club, pre-
sided.
The question as to whether Claves
county should be represented at Wash
ington after the first of the year was
discussed. with the result that a COM
mittee of three was appointed to re-
port on the matter and devise ways
and means of defraying the expenses
of the same If they considered local
representation advisable. On this
committee was named r. F. Barnett,
G. A. Richardson and X K. Scott. In
short time their report was ready,
and they recommended that Chaves
county name two delegates to coop
crate with the territorial and local
organizations of the Statehood League
and that 50 900 be raised to pay their
expenses. AS a soliciting committee
were appointed ]. A. Graham, as a
member from the Club and w. NJ
Atkinson, as a member from the
Statehood Steering Committee, who
are to cooperate with the Territorial
League and its local representative
w. S. Prayer, in raising the needed
funds
To show their earnestness in the
matter. a subscription list was start
ed at once, and although nearly all
of the men had left when tne paper
was circulated, $3.50 was raised in
ABOUT five minutes as a start on the
fund.
There are several other PROPOSE
tions pending in Washington before
Congress in which Chaves county is
especially interested, and it was the
at last nights meeting that these
matters should be taken care of by
parties representing the community
at Washington, and, if possible, Sc
cure the passage of pending legislation
which bears materially upo1 the int
crest of this portion of New Mexico
Among the matters of local inter-
est is bill providing 800. 900 for a
Federal building in Roswell. 1t is un-
derstood that this bill has been intro
duced by Delegate Andrews and that
the committee ON appropriations has
consented to include it II its report.
Another matter is the bill legaIizing
$4,000 in bonds for the Military In
stitute. recently drafted by Attorney
General ]. NJ Hervey and now in the
hands of Delegate Andrews. Still
another is a proposed bill which will
1egalize $4,000 in bonds authorized
by the Territorial legislature for the
building of an armory in R1swell
Thus the Chayes county representa-
tives will have local interests to rep
resent as well as the greater and
more important question of statehood.
II hehooves every citizen to give as
liberally as possible to help in the.
maintainaace of these representatives
when the soliciting committee calls.

Though the dress of the Turk is elab-
crate, he is most fastidious when it
comes to questions of dress. He gives
one hour or more to the adjoining of his
mustache. 1t is no mean task to change
it from fiaXen to jet black, perfume it
with rose and amber and soothe the
struggling ends. Another hour is given
to the dyeing of his lips and the caring
for his eyelids and another in practic-
ing his most fascinating smile. He
gives the same attention to his wearing
apparel. 1t is of finest broadcloth or
velvet and covered with embroidery Of
heavy gold His arms and chest are
left bare to show the splendid polish
of his ebony skin. Grace is added by
his capote, draped with great chic. But
this splendor would be nothing with
out a sword with gilt handle, watch
with concealed miniature, a tobacco
pouch of knitted gold and pisto often
studded with precious stones.-Chicago

Do Ostriches Ever Die?

Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich will live. Some
writer's claim that it will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty
years are still breeding and producing
feathers. 1t is the experience of Ari-
IONA farmers that among the birds
having good nutritious green feed
deaths seldom occur except as the re-
suit of accident \ dog or other small
animal will sometimes brighten os-
triches and cause them to run into the
fence, which may result in a broken
leg. When this happens the bird may
as we'll be killed, as few ever recover
from such an injury. National Geo

Racine Mt His Work.

Racine, the French writer, composed
his work while walking rapidly about,
shouting out the lines in loud voice.
One day while he was thus composing
part of his play of "Mithridates' In the
Tuileries gardens in Paris he was sur
rounded by q group of workmen who
took him to be a maniac. On his re-
turn home from these walks he would
write down scene after scene in prose.
and when they were finished he would
exclaim, My tragedy is done" con-
sidering the transposition of the lines
into verse only trivial thing.
