POINTS IN ETIQUETTE.

From October Bohemian.
There is no fixed age at which
girl should be brought OUT" nor any
at which she should be taken in
more's the pity. AS to a man, he can
be brought out" any time and taken
in most every time.
A correspondent inquiries on which
side of a lady he should walk on the
street We do not see why a man
and we cannot advise his walking on
either. No real lady would permit it.
gentleman should always raise
his hat to a lady-not his foot.
No man should permit girl to
take liberties with aim.
man should not enter a house
before a lady A burglar wouldn't do
it-not if he saw her. In leaving, the
gentleman should go first. If he does
not he will lose an hour or more
while the lady is saying goodbye to
her dear friend
No lady viii allow man she doesn't
know to kiss her, but if ne does even
Christianity does not require her TO
present the other cheek.
A young man wants to know in
which pocket he should carry his ci-
gar case. In the pocket on the other
side from that on whicn you squeeze
the girl-if the cigars are any good.
If a gentleman falls into a lady's
lap ne should not remain there until
he is through apologizing. No real la
dy will ask him to.
Should a gentleman or lady give
way in an argument? We don't know
which should, but we can guess
which does.
When a gentleman is told that a
lady is out and knows she is in, it
is not permissible to send her word
that she is an ex-friend of Theodore
Roosevelt's.
No real lady who pays the car fare
for friend will ask her for the nick
el back when they quarrel
On a first call on a girl a gentle
man should not remain later than 2
a. m, but if ne takes her out it's all
right to get her home before daylight
A married woman should not in
company call her husband dear old
man. 1t makes him look cheap Nor
should married man address his
wife in company as the "oId woman. >
It may confirm some of her friends
opinions.
No gentleman will spend his former
wife's aIimony for presents to anoth-
er woman. The courts do not recog-
nize this excuse And no lady will
tell her second divorced husband how
much better number one was to her
from the alimony standpoint

STOCK BRANDS IN
THIS TERRITORY.

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Sept, 25, 1907,
The New Mexico Brand Book issued
by the Cattle Sanitary Board of New
Mexico, showing all the brands on
Cattle, Horses, Mules and Asses re-re-
corded under the provisions of the Act
approved February 10th, 1899 and all
other brands recorded since May 1st,
1899 to December 31st, 1906, has reach
ed this Office and is a neat little vol
ume of much interest to cattle men.
1t contains $50 pages of brands and
an index of 100 pages, 24,656 brands
are recorded in all. OF these 276 are
single "a and 230 single IT.. Under
the letter - singly and in combina-
ton with other letters, figures and
characters there are 1922 brands,
1895 are recorded in the simple 81
and with it as the indicative letter,
1880 in "A" while H has S74 and
%" Only As.
The 24,656 brands are recorded un-
der 1880 names, 103 under Archuleta,
Baca 2S1, Chavez 497, Gallegos 1S1,
Garcia 321, Gonzales 264, Jones 104,
Lopez 159, Lucero POS. Martinez 374
Romero 255, Sanchez 272, and Virgil

The book is a convenient size, about
5xS and q of an inch in thickness. 1t

acting work, requiring great care on

has been and taking the entire time
of two persons for over two years.
The name of the owner, postoffice
address and the location of the brand
is first written with the typewriter
on sheets especially ruled for this
work, each sheet contains 46 spaces.
The brands are then placed in the
space to the left of the name by hand
with India Ink. These sheets are then
photographed and plates are made
from the photographs. The printing
is then done from the plates.
In the characters the Diamond is
the favorite as there are over 800 on
record. Others are shields, shoes,
snakes, faces, fish, flags, axes, pipes
boot jacks, trowels, hoes, anchors and
birds besides those classed as Mis-
cellaneous" which have no likeness
to any known thing, showing the in
genuity of the cattlemen in selecting
something entirely different from any
other, for his own.
Every stockman should have one of
these books. Address the Secretary
of the Cattle Sanitary Board, East
Las Vegas, N. NJ. and remit the price

PANIC IN
new YORR

New York. Oct. 1S.-A precipitate
decline to the lowest prices of years
in the stock market followed a meet
ing of the Clearing House Committee
today, the sentiment on the Stock
Echange being disturbed by rumors
as to the proceedings of the commit
tee. At first only mining stocks suf-
fered sharply; but later, railroads,
especially Union Pacific, Reading and
st. Paul, fell away on heavy selling
to the lowest prices of years. In some
instances the quotations for stocks
We're the lowest since 1898.
The war on mining stocks was
eXemplified in the sale of the Guggen-
heimer Exploration on the curb at
120. This is $50 a share lower tnan
the last preceding sale. There were
heavy demands for call loans today,
which advanced the rate of interest
to 9 per cent shortly before the close.
A special meeting of the Clearing
House Committee was held this NOR
ming to consider the general bearing
of the situationTne solvency of the
Mercantile National Bank as report
ed by President Maui of the CONNER
cial Exchange bank last night, was
re-affirmed and it is understood that
the condition of certain other banks
in the city was discussed at the meet
ing. But SO far as could be learned,
no formal action was taken with re-
gard to these institutions. To quote
a member of the committee, the
clearing house situation is now un>
der control, and no untoward devel-
opments are looked for
1t is believed, however, tnat certain
other interests will have to be elimi-
mated before complete confidence in
the local banking situation is restor-
ed. 1t is believed that the retirement
of Augustus Heinze from the Presi-
dency of the Mercantile National will
be followed by the retirement of the
presidents from other banks.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS
MEETS IN OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma City. Oct. 1S.-A large
audience was present when the Far.
mers' National Congress met today
H. d. Watson, of Kearney, Neb., de
livered an address on dry farming
showing how the principles developed
could be used to advantage in a re
gion where the rainfall is usually suf
ficient.
President Jonn NJ Staplil in his
annual address said the year had
been one of unusual season vicissi
tudes to crops: yet because of the
higher prices the farmers of the Unit
ed states will receive billion dollars
more than last year. The farmers
money, unlike that of the campaigns
of high finance, he pointed out, is
clean, aad no other class of peoplt
is being so thoroughly and widely edu
