Marshal Magnes is entitled to
commentator from the public in
his recent act of taking unblanket-
ed h orses from Main street at
night and placing them under
shelter. One thing, however, he
omitted and which should be
remembered in the future, and
that is to arrest the owners of the
animals and fine them to the limit.
A person who will tie an unpro-
tected horse in the face of biting

ger to Alamosa, Friday night,

The ladies guild held a sale and
supper at the Grande hotel, Sat
urday night, and it sure was
whopping big spread for a very
reasonable price. Some there were
who laid in a weeks supply of
niceities, claiming that they didn't
expect to have another such OPP
portunity for some time to come.
The proceeds of the sale and sup
per were over $50 and will be used
toward repairing the Episcopal
church.
Due to an unknown cause the
Alamosa depot caugnt fire, We'd
nesday, and despite all efforts to
extinguish the flames, the main
building, freight and express rooms
are total loss. 1t is thought that
spontaneous combustion might be
responsible for the fire, yet this
is mere theory. There were some
freight and express destroyed, but
the property of value in the office
was saved. Alamosa will have
new depot in the very near future
and one that will meet the re-
quirements of that fast growing
town.
Miss Mabel Weist resigned her
position in the school at this place,
the first of the week, and with her
sister will leave for Ordway to-
morrow night at which place Miss
Weist will teach in the public
schools. The local board would
certainly have been up against it,
especially as it is SO late in the
year, had not Miss Palmer been
secured to finish the term. And
La Jara is really fortunate in
this respect, for the lady in ques-
ton is capable and experienced
instructor, with normal educa-
ton. 1t is earnestly hoped that
our educational intuition will have
ceased to be the butt of Fate and
that it will run along smoothly
from now on.

The Student and the Professor.

The scholarly William e. Byerly, pro-
fessor of mathematics at Harvard, was
once asked by student how to develop
a retentive memory. The professor an
swered that ordinary mental exercise
was sufficient to secure a good memory,
whereat the student asked if he might
test the mental capacity of his instruc-
tor. Prof. Byerly agreed, and the stu
dent asked him to listen to and remem-
Der several varied items for a test. He
began:
Zone quart of whisky"
"Um!' said the professor.
.",Six pounds of sugar, pint of sour
milk, three onions, half gallon of mo-
lasses, and two raw eggs"
'Um!' said the professor.
'"Two green apples, twenty-six pea
nuts, one and half cucumbers and four
mince pies"
UNI said the professor.

cakes Of yeast, and the skins of seven
bananas. Got that DOWN."

Women Clerks of Long Service.

In the executive departments in Wash
tngton, where the business of the gov
ernment is carried on, there is no belief
In the Osler theory as far as the women
clerks are concerned. Several Of the most
valued ones working for the secretary of
state passed threescore and ten long ago.
Mrs. Eliza Gridley, mother Of the man
who commanded the Olympia at the bat
tie of Manila, is almost 80, yet she holds
most responsible position in the gener-
al land office and knows more about
records and land law than any six clerks
In the department.
Miss Mason, who is nearing the same
age, is a pillar of strength to seekers
for information in the library of war
records. She is the daughter Of former
minister of France. In the department
of justice are women nearing 70, some
of them wives and daughters of former
judges, who work faithfully and intelli-
gently and who are priced more highly
than the younger women who compose
the greater working mass in the depart
ment.-Boston Globe.

COSTLY PRESSURE.

Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.
A resident of a great western State
puts the case regarding stimuIants with
a comprehensive brevity that is admir-
able. He says:
81 am 56 years old and have had
considerable experience with stimu-
Iants. They are all alike-a mortgage
on reserved energy at ruinous interest.
AS the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, gave up coffee and all other
stimulants and began the use of Post
um Food coffee some months ago. The
beneficial results have been apparent
from the first. The rheumatism that
used to suffer from has left me- sleep
sounder, my nerves are steadier and
my brain clearer. And l bear testi-
mony also to the food value of Postum
something that is lacking in coffee"

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.

Doctors and Remedies Fru1tless--
Suffered 10 Years-Comp1eteIy
1,ured nv Three Boxes of Cuticura.
"wben I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each OF my
lower limbs. l scratched them with
brass pin and shortly afterWard ooth
of those limbs became so sore that L
could scarcely walk. When had
been suffering for about month the
sores began to heal, but small scaly
eruptions appeared where the sores
had heen. From that time onward L
was troubled by such severe ltchinS
that, until 1 became accustomed to IT,
would scratch the sores until the
blood began to f1ow This would stop
the itching for a few days, but scaly
places would appear again ana the
itching would accompany them. After
I suffered about ten years 1 made q
renewed effort to effect a cure. The
eruptions by this time had appeared on
every part Of my body except my race
and hands The best doctors IN my ma
tive country advised me to use arsenic
In small doses and a salve. then
used to battle the sores IN mixture
which gave almost intolerable pain. IN
addition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salye, IS
Salye, - Ointment, and in fact l
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than one
or two boxes or bottles. All this was
fruitless Finally my hair began to
fall out end 1 was rapidly becoming
bald. l used IS -, but it did no
good. A few months after, having used
almost everything else, 1 thought I
would try Cuticura Ointment, having
previously used Cuticura Soap and be-
ing pleased with it. After using three
boxes l was completely cured, and my
hair was restored, after fourteen years
of suffering and an expenditure of at
least $50 or $50 IN vainly endeavoring
to find cure. l shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
nv cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer
