The friends Of Lewis Neil, the negro
criminal now in the state refomatoy for
honbly cutting and almost killing Char

case out Of the old drunken German.
frank Blecha, who made a knife piay on
Sheriff McCracken and fined 500 and
costs, While we think that Blecha' 5
punishment was very lenient, no sane
man can say that his crime was near as
brutal as the negro's. Blecha did not
succeed IN hurting any one, he struck at
one who was his superior in strength. and
who was prepared to subdue HIM. while
the negro cut boy IN the back with a
razor at an unsuspec6ng moment which
laid the boy up for month and came
near ending his life. He armed himself
with razor with The inten.ion Of max
ing a killing" We are not condonine
blecha's crime. 1t was dastardb and we
think the punishment should have been
more severe, but it is not m The same
class with the Neil butchery.

THANKSGIVING

In accordance with established
custom the President OF the United
Ststes has designated Thursday
the 2Sth day of November, A. u,
1907, as Thanksgiving Day,
and in his proclamation recounts
the numerous and great blessings
moral as we'll as material that the
American people as a nation have
received during the past year, and
he invites them to devote this day
to thanksgiving and prayer.
New Mexico likewise as an indl-
vidual commonwealth, has abun-
dant cause to set aside and observe
a day in thanksgiving to Almighty
God for a year that has brought not
only marvellous material advance
ment, and thousands Of industrious
and desirable homeseekers to our

a marked advancement in public
sentiment. Laws have recently
been enacted for the suppression
of d~isgraceful gambling privileges
and for the regulation of the liquor
traffic, which, in the past, have
menanced the moral standing OF
our most enlightened communities.
For the purpose, therefore, OF
appointing a day which may be OBJ
served by the people Of New Mex
leo in offering tributes of thanks.

drinking coffee and try Postum FOOD
Coffee and she did so and has used
Postum ever since; the result has been
that she can now do her work, can
sit for a whole day and mend and can
sew on the machine and she never

The Tell Tale Voice

III you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes,"
said Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently In the bank.
A man will come In to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. II he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect It. But II he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing you"
