Another thing worth noticing is
this. The different parts of the coun-
try are more Independent of each other
than they used to be. There was a
time when panic in the east would
upset us here while now we pay no at
tentiOn to it. A banker in St. Louis
was speaking to me of that very thing
the other day. He said: "St. Louis
raises its own products in the tribu-
tary country and sells them and we
are not dependent on the east.
Il think as long as we have good
crops out here we will continue to be
prosperous. | can see nothing else.
There is plenty OF room here and a
great many people will pour in here.
"One thing to notice about panics
They are nearly always preceded by a
continued depression in stocks for two
or three years. There has been MOTH
ing of that kind. During the recent

Mr.. Elam was also asked what had
been his observa ton as to political con-
ditions in Cuba which he visited on his
recent trip. He said:
Most of the better class are in ?avo,

will. The better classes would like to
keep them. L. is the Cubans and ne
groes who want them to go"
In describing some of the beautiful
places in Cuba, Mr.. Elan said
Sometimes one thinks that we do
not know what luxury is at all in this
country. While large part of the
buildings are old there are some truly
palatial places. Some of the planters
have made immense fortunes and live
like princes
Mansions with solid marble floors;
servants with silk hats and elegant
turnouts. always rugged tandem are
some of the things with which wealthy
Cubans surround themselves according
to Mr. ELAN.

A Boy Prisoner Escaped from Los lunas Cap
 tured Here

A dirt-begrimed and sneaky- looking youth stepped into Wet zler's store last Friday and ask ed Mir Myerhoff for a three-cor- nered file. His appearance not being very reassuring and the salesman at the same moment catching the sound of clinking steel as the stranger moved about, discovered that around one of his ankles was a shackle and short piece of chain which the boy was vainly trying to hide.
 Mir. Myerhoff at once conclud- ed that he was some fugitive from justice or an escaped pris- oner and at once notified Deputy Sheriff Williams who took the stranger into custody.
 The next day Sheriff Woods re- ceived information that the pris- Oner was wanted at Los Lunas, New Mexico. on a charge of rob- berv and was requested to hold him until he was sent for.

asked as to how the shackle came to be on him, was to the effect that a Hobo" had placed it on his leg while riding in a box car, a statement in which the Sheriff did not seem to take much stock. His purpose in asking for the file was to separate himself from the steel bracelet. He IS young in years, apparently not over seven- teen, but evidently old in crime, nevertheless there must have been a time when he was the pride and joy of some mothers heart-whether the hand that guided his first tOddling foot steps is now stilled forever or whether he was a wayward youth that brooked no restraint, is a matter of conjecture.
 It IS truly pitiable that one so young can now only look for ward Oyears of servitude-years which otherwise might have been spent in laying the foundation for a useful life.
