THE STORY.


VITHEN the little baby girl came
w into that home in Ephraim and
was named Deborah the parents little
realized the future that lay before
her. In the first place there was dis
appointment because she, the first
born child, was not a boy, and then
again she was not comedy child, in
fact. so distorted seemed her features
that her mother found no JOY in
looking upon her face. And to make
the affection harder to bear, the I'M
usually ugly features of the child
gave her neighbors and the towns
people occasion to speak words of
ridicule and scorn, for because she
and her husband had remained true
in their loyalty to the Hebrew God
and would not share in the festivities
which had been instituted in their
midst they were the objects Of deri
sion and persecution.
Nov see the curse that has come
upon you Where is your God that
he should allow such a child to be
born to your" they would ask her,
and she and her husband secluded
themselves more and more from the
world about them.
And this was the atmosphere in
which Deborah grew up, a condition
which at once stamped it's influence
upon the child and made her natu-
rally a recluse like her parents.
Long before the little girl was able
to run upon the street people as they
| passed the little home would mark
her homely features and whisper UNI
kind comment The mother, keen to
catch a critical glance and the wills
pered word, would clasp her darling
closer to her breast and whisper in
her ear the pet words of love and APP
probation. And when Deborah grew
/ old enough to mingle with the chill
dren of the neighborhood she early
became conscious of a difference be.
tween her and the other girls. They
seemed to shun her. They would
point at her and make grimaces. And
often as she passed along the street
of the village the boys and girls
would shout after her calling her
names.
Then Deborah, shy and sensitive
as she was, would run to her mother
and, buryins her face in her lap sob

JEROME DEFIEs THE
n6ECIRIA@

New York, Mar. 5.-What promised
to be very dull session of the Thaw
trial today was made one of the most
exciting in the court annals of New
York by District Attorney Jerome
placing himself in the position of
openly defying the presiding judge.
Jerome declined point blank to sub
nit certain authorities to Justice
Fitzgerald, upon the ground that the
question of law involved was so ele-
mental and the authorities so abund-
ant that he must assume the court
to have knowledge of them. 'T nave
too much respect for the courts of
this jurisdiction declared Jerome.
Ito submit authorities on a PROPOSE
ton so elemental
Justice Fitzgerald admonished the
district attorney that it was his duty
to submit the authorities called for,
and said tnat the court would assume
since he declined that he did not
know of the existence of any such
authorities.
The spectators we're thrilled to abb
solute silence during this extraordi-
nary debate. Jerome's manner of ad-
dressing the court was as defiant as
his words. He seemed thoroughly
aroused and Justice Fitzgerald seem
ed to retain his judicial calm only
with great effort.
the point under discussion was as
to whether Jerome on cross examina-
t1On could take a wider scope than
was permitted under direct examina-
ton. Fitzgerald sustained the posi-
ton taken by the defense. During the
debate Jerome declared that the legal
assumption before the court is that
Thaw is now insane. He said the de-
fendant is shown to have been insane
June 25th last, and it is an assump-
tion of law that he continues In that
condition until shown to be other
wise. DR. Wagner was on the stand
during the entire morning session.

PREDICTED HIS OWN
DEATH, MONTHS IN AD

An interesting incident of the death
of Narcico Gonzales which occurred
last week, has just developed. 1t is
learned upon good authority that he
predicted his own death several
months ago, and his death came, he
claimed, as a visitation of Divine
Will
Gonzales was young and powerful
ly built and robust Mexican, born
in Old Mexico and for ten years or
more a resident of Roswell and vici-
nifty. He worked on the ranches and
farms in this locality and was known
as strong armed and willing work
man. His only fault was the drink
habit. and he had this in the worst
form. He would get on protracted
sprees and remain away from his du-
ties for days at a time. This, he re-
allied, was his besetting sin, and mis-
misdeeds preyed heavily On his mind.

endurance. 1t was not two days before
he lost his voice. He considered this
a direct warning from God. And heed
ed it for time, too; and finally his
voice returned. But he never had full
control of the power of speech, to the
day of his death. He was known to
invariably get his words mixed and
say parts of one word with parts of
another and talk in a confused tongue
This mixture of speech grew better
as time wore ON and, as he thought,
from his abstinence from strong
dring. Finally he could stand the
pressure no longer and got on another
big drunk. That was only few days
before his death. H cold mis- friends

his desire for drink was greater than
his fear of death-and he had to have
it. This remark he made to a certain
business man one day last week. And

a punishment for drinking so heavily.

st. Louis, Mo-. March 5.-Both of
the ST Louis teams makes their get-a

today, the Cardinals going to Fort
Worth and the Browns to Marlin
Springs. So far as the Nationals are
concerned, the hope that springs per-

casionally some near fan talks of the
Cardinals landing in the first division
but anyone indulgilg in the belief
that McCloskey's squad will grab the
rag would Immediately be given
berth in the home for incurable bugs.
Gloom reigns supreme in the Cardinal
camp and the general belief here is
that they will make hard fight for
the tail en-l position and will prob
ably get it. The Browns find more
favor in the eyes of the fans and un-
less the dope fails they will make a
strong bid for the American league
bunting.
The Cardinals have been given a
severe shaking up by McCl1skey,
many of the disgruntled players of
last years squad having been given
their walking papers, but the general
result has not been highly pleasing.

AMARILLO WANTS TO PLAY

o. H. Nelson, president of the Wes-
tern Stock Yard Company, writes
players of that town will challenge
the polo players of Roswell for a
matched game here during the cattle
mems convention, April 16, II. and Is.
He suggests that some of the Anna
rillo players will want ponies supplied
them by the Roswell players and this
is the only requisite mentioned. This
will be easily supplied. The players
mentioned in the letter are John and
Arthur Mcknight and Tom Carson.
Others will probably be here should
the game be matched. These are
known as good players. George NJ.

thusiasts, hopes to have the game pull
led off at the time specified.

For A eREATER ROSWELL.

Everyone who is interested in tle
future of Roswell and vicinity will be
glad to learn of the organization of
regular licensed real estate dealers
forming what is known as the Roswell
Realty Board. Anyone conducting a
legitimate real estate business and
who pays city and territorial license
is eligible to membership. They are
determined to do away with the shys-
ter curbstone broker and inveterate
knocker; this being the principal rea-
son for their organizing. RoswelPs
progress has long been hampered by
this class. Many stranger coming
within our gates fully intending to
become a resident has become disgust
ed and left because he was nounded
at every step by some curb-stoner
who had an excellent proposition to
show him. 1t is to the interest of ev-
eryone interested in RoswelPs future
that the Realty Board accomplish
their purpose in this and other ways.
The Board will lend its aid in every
way to any move looking to a greater
and better Roswell.
