my wife was taken badly with &c.

until she employed Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. One of her hands
and her left eye were badly affected,
and when she would stop using Gu
ticura Soap and Ointment the eczema
came back, but very slightly; but it
did her a sight of good. Then we
complied with the instructions in u.s.

BIG BEARS OF ALASKA.
Largest FIesh-Eatng Animal In the
WorId-Big as Three Lions.

Very few persons really know that
the largest flesh-eating animals in the
world are found in America. People
generally believe that the African lion
Is the king of beasts, but he is not
nearly as large or as powerful an ami
NAL as the large brown bear of
Alaska.
The bears are not as ferocious or
combative as the lions, nor are they
nearly as vicious as they are given
credit for being, but the largest of
them are much larger and more pow
erful than any of the lions.
1t is safe to say that the largest of
the brown bears of the north would
weigh three times as much as the
largest specimen of lion, and is be.
yond all question greatly superior in
strength.
If brought together in combat the
bear would at first appear very
clumsy. 1t would not be capable of
the quick rush or the catlike spring
of the lion.
1t would not attack, but 1t would
remain entirely on the defensive,
meeting its adversary with blows of
such rapidity and terrific force as at
once to illustrate it's superiority not
only In strength but in action.
do not believe that there is an
animal in the world that can act
more quickly or effectively or can aim
Its blows with greater certainty than
the bear.
The bears are flesh eaters. yet
there are none of them that depend
upon flesh for food. and with most of
them flesh comprises but "a very

tie High Play of Late Years, Anyhow-Even

Ration, N. My the middle of this
year licensed public gambling will
probably have disappeared from the
territories of the United States. The
ease and apparent willingness with
which the tiger has surrendered sur
prises some people who looked for a
fight.
But the end has been approached so
gradually, through regulation and
high license that even the gamblers
themselves were prepared for it. 1t
is a complete surrender by what was
once regarded as an impregnably in
trenched evil. This passing of the
professional gambler shows the ad-
vance of public sentiment due to per-
sistent agitation, and it follows natur-
ally the disappearance of the frontier

one-third into the general county

of public gambling is Objectionable to
citizens generally and peculiarly so to
prospective settlers from the east.
The number of retail liquor licenses
in the territory in 1905 was 5S5, whole
sale licenses 23, and gambling licenses
$50. The total income therefrom to
the territory was only $164 900, of
which less than half came from gam
bling licenses. The figures for 1907
show no material change.
In the city of Ration there are 10
saloons and IT licensed gambling
tables. The former pay to the city

ritory for the county and district

Most Games Unfair.
In the towns of Roswell and Artesia
gambling has been abolished by ordin-
ance, and the experiment of exceed
ingly high liquor licenses, as much as
$4,000. has been made with satisfac-
tory results.
That most of the games are unfair
requires no proof. In his message
Gov. Hagerman treats of this feature
thus:
Some of the games as played here
afford the player $50 per cent. less
chance of winning than similar games
afford in the large gambling estab-
lishments of Europe, which pay enor-
nous dividends to their stockholders.
The games most general in New
Mexico are SO arranged that the
chances are many times in favor of
the proprietors."

preparation in New Mexico for the
impending prohibition of public gam.

Many anglers have great faith In
fish as weather prophets. If storm

biting, and they won't bite again until
the storm is past. They also foretell
the near approach of cold weather.
Hours before it comes fish leave the
shallow waters in-shore and seek deep
er water which, owing to it's depth,
will stay warm and keep an equable
temperature after the shallower and
surface waters are cold.

Stringent Law Proposed.
Now the territorial council Is con.
sidering a bill providing that "any
person within the territory of New
Mexico who deals. plays, carries on,
opens, or causes to be opened, or con-
ducts either as owner or employe,
whether for hire or not, any game of
faro, monte, roulette, lansquenet,
rouge-et-noir, rondo, fantan, poker,
seven-and-a-half, twenty-one, chucka-
luck, slot machine, or any banking
or percentage game. or any other kind
of game played with cards, dice, or
any device, for money, checks, credit,
or any other representative of value,
is guilty of misdemeanor, and shall
be punished by a fine of not more
than $4,000 or by Imprisonment in the
county jail for not more than one
year. or both"
AS in all reforms the impelling
force has been a gradually crystaliz-
ing public opinion. Both Arizona and
New Mexico have ambitions in the di-
rection of statehood. The defeat of
the joint proposition last fall has in.
creased the rivalry between them.
The threat of the Littlefeld bill
put Arizona on her good behavior, and
now New Mexico is compelled to fol-
low suit. In their excess of zeal.
however, some Arizona municipalities
have gone too far.
All Games of Chance Prohibited.
The Arizona gambling law is due
to take effect April /. But Prescott,
the capital city, could not wait until
then to show off her newly donned
white robes of virtue, and passed an
ordinance, effective Feb
ruary l, which shut down all 40 of her
public games and interfered seriously
with social diversions.
The ordinance prohibits the playing
of euchre for prizes, and all other
games popular in social cir
cles are likewise put under ban.
Hereafter the Prescott woman who
offers her guests prizes for winning
any game of chance or skill puts her
self exactly on the same plane, so far
as liability to arrest and punishment
is concerned, with the gambler, who

table, and the disappearance of cow
towns and mining camps have caused
the profits to dwindle. The writer has
been at Ration for about two months,
and in that time has not seen or
heard of a game worth mentioning.
Unless stranger wanders into a
saloon he would never suspect that
public gambling is a source of reve-
nue. for the support of the public
schools here. Last summer, when
couple of new railroads We're being
built into this city, there was high
play, but since then the business has
been dead.
There is practically no playing at
all in daytime, and at night there are
only few isolated games of poker.
Once month, on the occasion of
railroad payday, the roulette wheels
may whirl for night, and then dust
settles on them again. Nor is there
perceptible anywhere the demoraliza-

the legal recognition of public gam

is as quiet and orderly and clean NOR
ally as any town of like size in the
United States.

When the leading gambler of Ration
was questioned as to the outlook he
said:
They've got the drop on us and we
must submit. It's poor consolation,
but still consolation that we haven't
much to give up. Some games will
stop entirely and number of sports
will leave the territory; the rest will
be driven to cover"

call big. OF course there is stiff play
