famous because the Santa Fe

famous.

fair Chieftain reporter as she
beamed sweetly upon young
Holly business man the other
day.
"Well, I went fishing the 9TH

fish that weighed ten pounds, but
just as I got him out Of the wat

The reporter thought she had
him in a net, so she fastened her
eyes upon him and said with bit

"It had scales on it." said the

And leads us onward to fairer

When Disappointment's dreary
paths are trod,
Lies lessons only understood by
God;
When fainting by the way we
often fall, /.
And sorrow DER us drops her
sombre pail;
When even friendship turns her
face away
While bitterness and hate stand
in Our way,
Then Hope, bless'd Angel, whis-

Perchance the brighter paths are
just beyond
Charity.
When life's full page Of joy and
sorrows done
And history records our battles
lost or won.
And with the setting sun the

The book is closed and seald

Then may the most bless'd An

Spread DER us her mantle of
Sweet Charity.

Frederick Selous, the African pio-
neer, says in one of his books that reg
ular habits and high living agree with
lions and other brutes and that those
exhibited in menageries are much
handsomer than those the hunter
meets in the jungle. Then their hab-
its are not so creditable as people in
civilized countries suppose. They will
be shocked to learn that the lion
feeds on meat in the most advanced
stage of decomposition because he is
too lazy to hunt for fresh meat. They
have taken it for granted that the
king of the forest carries Il high head
as he sweeps along over the plain, but
Selous says he trots along with his
head behind his shoulders like any

EXODUS OF THE GAMBLERS.

Tuesday night, December 81,
a large number of the gamblers
departed from Tucumcari to new
fields of venture. Among the
crowd that got on the +. p. & S.

thing near fifty persons composed
of gamblers and their families. 1t
was a regular exodus, with bag
and baggage, headed for El Paso
and Old Mexico.
The new gambling law went
into effect at Midnight Dec. 81,
and business in that line is rather

ing, whistle or bell was given; that
the engine backed down and had
no lights on the tank; that the es-
Gaping steam and noise from the
engine they were working on was
so great that they could not hear
the approaching engine.
The engine that struck the man
was stopped within a short distance
OF the place where Romero fell in
front of it, with the body still be-
meath the engine. The body was
removed as soon as possible, but
the man died before medical at
tention could be called. Romero
leaves a large family.
The inquest was held before
Judge Ed +. Saxon, on December
80, the day following the killing,
and the jury after short delibera-
ton, found that Romero came to
his death by being run over by an
engine in the yards at this place,
and charged the railroad company
with criminal negligence.

COMMON SENSE In
CHARITY.
A brief Report of the Sermon
Given last Sunday Night,
Containing q Practical Sus-
gestion to the Citizens of
Tucumcari.
FROM SERMON BY REV. DuBOSE

Text, Matthew, 10th chapter and
nth verse, "Ye have the poor al
ways with you."
"As | was reading a book the
other day, noticed sarcastic re-
mark, There is a great deal of
charity these days, and a very
little common sense used in it,
and | thought the remark fitted the
charity work in our own little city
verv we'll. We have a great deal
of charity but no well regulated
plan in administering it. Thus
tonight | want us to discuss this
question from a religious stand
point: and by seeing what is for
hidden perhaps discover some way
to solve this important question.
1'Frhe statement of our master.
'Ye have the poor always with
YOU is very true one, and it is
our duty to recognize this fact.
We find the poor divided into sew
eral classes. The first | would
cali your attention to, is the class
of the poor little unfortunate home
less children. There are a vast
number OF these, who through the
misfortune of being bereft of their
parents, either by death or deser-
ton are cast out as wanderers into
the world. This class is espec-
ially dear to the tender heart of
our dear Savior, who, while He
was here on earth, manifested such
great love for the children. Yet
in spite of the need of the thou
sands of these homeless little suf-
ferers, very few OF the citizens are
supporting the great work, which
very recently the Rev. DR.. Lukins
presented to us in his address in
the skating rink. 1t is a sin to
allow this state of affairs to exist.
Something must be done for them.
THE second class belong tc
those who are brought into poverty
through sickness. The very noun.
tains are covered by host of suf
ferers from the great white plague
many Of whom are dying yearly
simply for the lack of few hun
dred dollars. There are some o.
these in our own city. Only tn,
other day did | find some people
who were in absolute need OF tn,
simplest necessities, and through
the kindness OF one of our citizens
their needs were supplied. Man,

the new Southwestern roundhouse.
While engaged in repairing this
engine, while standing back a few
feet from it waiting for it to be
moved short distance, another
engine came down through the
yards on a parallel track about
seven feet from the track on which
was standing the engine they were
working on; the two men were be-
tween the two tracks about two
feet from the track on which the
engine was approaching With their
backs to the track. The approach
ing engine backed down upon
them without warning, with no
lights on the tank, striking the
two men. Valentine Romero was
struck first, thrown under the
engine and dragged about twenty
feet and terribly crushed. Sotero

twenty or thirty feet, falling to one
side of the track, being only
slightly injured. There were no
witnesses to the accident except
Romero, and the engineer in
charge of the engine which ran
over the man.
Romero, the helper, testified at
the inquest held before Justice of
the Peace Ed E. Saxon, that they
had been working on engine III,
near the coal chute just west of
the cinder pit; that they were
waiting for the engine to be moved;
that they were standing a few feet
away from the engine they were
working on waiting for It to be
moved; that their torch went out
in gust of wind; that it was so
dark they could not see the ap-
preaching engine; that no warn

next session of the legislature in July so as to create a new. or Sixth ward, thus giving you representation in the City Council.
 We wish to call your attention. particu- larly, to a few facts in connection with taxation.
 If you should decide to become part of Greater Birmingham 90 cents of every $1 you pay as taxes will be appro- priated to pay interest and create a sinking fund for the old indebtedness of Birmingham, which amounts to the enor- nous sum of $2,324,OO0, besides assuming a share of this burden of debt. (See con- stitution of state of Alabama, 1901, sec ton 216.)
 If you decide to organize an indepen- dent municipality you can collect only a tax of five mills on the dollar, which is wholly inadequate to meet your necessi- ties.
 On the other hand Ensley has no bonded indebtedness except for sewerage, schools and city beld bonds, and to levy a tax of ten mills on the dollar. There is no constitutional limitation on her right to issue bonds for sewerage and school pur- poses for any amount needed.
 In conclusion we say: Come with us and we will do thee good"

pax,of Committee Meetings.

Today seemed to be day of commit tee meetings in Ensley. There were two meetings of commercial club committees, also a meeting of the Board of Educa- ton, which met for the purpose of award inf the contract for the Fifth ward school building, but owing to lack of a quorum adjourned till tomorrow. This matter will no doubt be closed up to- morrow and work begun immediately. It is understood that several satisfactory bids have been submitted and 1t is now only a question of choosing the lowest responsible bidder.
 The Commercial club committee on in- dustries, composed of c. c. Johnson, J. l.. Mullarky, N. w Scott, J. H. Stewart, John Morrison, Robert Jemison, Erskine Ramsay and M. P. Knapp, held a meet ing this morning to discuss the proposi- ton of locating a manufacturing plant, with which the club has been In corre- spondence. A suitable site is to be se- lected for this plant and satisfactory prices secured if possible. The committee will leave nothing undone to secure the location of this industry in Ensley, if possible.
 The Greater Ensley committee of the cluJ, of which Mayor Sugg is chairman, also met this afternoon and discussed various matters pertaining to the ex- tension of the city limits. This commit tee will attend the mass meeting of Fair view citizens next Friday night.

MAUD HAS RIVAL.
Florence Has Mule That Maybe Out
 does Opper's Ideal.

Florence, June 7.-(Special.) .)-F'lorence has the genuine and original Maud, or if this claim is disputed, she can show an article that will beat Maud at her own game. This remarkable animal is at a local livery stable and as no way has been discovered to utilize her wonderful motive power the mule gives frequent performances for the amusement of the town. All that Is necessary is to throw a sack or a rope over her back and she unlimbers in way that would make ] battering ram ashamed of itself. The re- markable part of it is that the kicking does not in the least impede her forward movements and she neither pauses nor tuns aside for anything in her path from the size of a man down, keeping up her gyrations until she is obliged to stop from exhaustion. The animal only recently came into the possession of her present owners, but the Jumps and callouses on her heels show that she is not exploiting a recently acquired trick.
