TO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
Superintendent of Public instruction
]. G. Clark Speaks about
Thanksgiving.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. IS, 1907.
Dear friends:
Honorable Nathan Jaffa, act
ing Governor of the Territory of
New Mexico, has declared Thurs
dav, November twenty-eighth.
1907, as Thanksgiving day and
urges that business matters be
set aside and that the day be
spent in places of worship. Civ
ing thanks to Almighty God lor
a year of plenty, prosperity, aud
peace.
AS Territorial Superintendent
of Public Instructions, | strong
ly urge that all teachers Impress
upon the minds of the children
in our public schools the true
meaning of Thanksgiving day.
Recite the story of the Pilgrims;
tell of the hardships and starva-
tion; tell of the final harvest and
the First Thanksgiving Day"
Decorate the school room with
fruit, vegetables, and grains;
have at least one recitation at
the close of the school the daY
before Thanksgiving, sing. the
songs of thanksgiving, and in
short send the children away
from the school on the evening
of the twenty-seventh of Novem-
ber full of Thanksgiving" in
order that they may enjoy their
holiday with mind so full of the
true meaning of the day that
they will not spend the hours in
thoughts of things wholly unre-
lated to it.
While urging upon the chill
dren that they be thankful for
life, for friends, for all necessi-
ties and many luxuries, the teach
er should not fail to appreciate
the fact that she is laboring in
the most helpful, most uplifting,
and most worthy cause known
among men. The teacher
should be truly thankful for her
unparalleled opportunity to min
lister to the rising generation at
the time when its mind is most
impressionable. She is the
guide to manhood and to woman-
hood, the maker of public opin-
ion, and the moulder of charac-
ter. 1t is no wonder that the
schools are regarded as THE
Bulwark of the Nation" 1t is
but natural that the public
school is uniformly denominated
The Most Important Institu-
tion in the Union" Let the
teacher in the public school or
any other department of educa-
tional work be mindful of these
facts and rejoice in the service.
Yours very sincerely,
]. C.. CLARK.

PASSED AS A MAN 90 YEARS
Woman Died in Hospital at Trini-
dad, Colorado, a Few Days Ago.

A press dispatch from Trini-
dad, Colo, under date of Novem-
Der IL tells the following remark
bla story:
Miss Katherine Vosbaugh,
who, for nearly sixty years pass
ed as a man, died at a hospital
in this city Yesterday.
Miss Vosbaugh was born in
France eighty-three years ago.
When a young woman she found
it difficult to make her way on
account of her sex, and, adopt
ing mems clothing, she obtained
employment as a bookkeeper in
Joplin, Missouri. That position
she held for nine years, and then
accepted a position in a St.
Joseph, Missouri, bank. While
in St. Joseph she married a wom-
an, with whom she lived for
over thirty years. The woman
was in trouble and Charles Vos-
baugh married her to protect
her.
The two women, still mas
querading as man and wife,
came to Trinidad two years ago.
After the death OF her wife"
Miss Vosbaugh worked here in
various capacities until she be-
came feeble, and last year was
taken to a hospital. 1t was then
that her sex was discovered for
the first time in many years, but
even after the discovery she re-
fused to change her clothing and
continued to wear her masculine
costume to the end"

A GOOD SHOW.

On Tuesday night the famous
LLOYD & Center Co. opened a
five-night engagement in our city.
The organization is one of merit,
and deserves the patronage OF our
theatre-going people. Their re-
pertoire embraces some choice
selections in drama and comedy,
as we'll as numerous and first
class specialties, among which is
Grant Watkins getting music out
of tin whistle to COW bells.
Mrs. Clare Sullivan's singing
pleased the people very much.
Mr.. Lawrence Sullivan's singing
and dancing act was also good.
But special mention is due to his
paper tearing act, in which he
tore the name of our city, sur
sounded by a very pretty lace
design; and one piece of paper
he tore was a full size represen-
tation of the drop curtain of our
opera house, a feat seldom wit
messed outside of the large cities.

There is said to be a million
sheep around Socorro and Mag

Instead of laying off employees,
why not put more men to work,

one put period after that " or J,
Professor Rhees would almost throw

and nothing else. These two letters
did not stand for anything but them
selves. And he held that when a
