Richard Foster Henderson has
never decided whether the day, Satan,
VINO is supposed to have the oversight
OF idle hands, fate or the overlooking
missionary box in bis sisters sitting
room was responsible for the impor-
tant events that We're crowded in the
brief afternoon Of April first Certain
it is that time hung heavily on his
hands, and he looked about for some
occupation to beguile the weary hours
His brother-in-law was out of town and
his sister off helping with reception
to be gone till late, and the early hour
precluded calling on Miss Kenneth,
since he had spent the morning with
that young lady and must in decency
wait till at least three o'clock before
going to her home, which was less
than one square away.
Come to your uncle, Bobs," he said,
holding out his arms to his small
nephew. but even this consolation was
denied him.
He must have his nap first, Mr.
Henderson," said the nurse, making
no move to relinquish her charge.
Hell be up about three and then you
can play with him"
II don't want him then" said the
perverse Richard to himself. and then
the brilliant thought struck him: by
the way, Mary, did Mrs. Carver tell
you was to keep the young man this
afternoon till four and you could have
an extra afternoon out?"
The smiling nurse had hardly left
the house when Richard escorted his
sleepy nephew to the missionary box
and began clothing him in fearful and
wonderful fashion. When the dressing
was complete the little head dropped
against the strong arm and Richard
heaved sigh of relief as he wiped the
perspiration from his brow Gee
Whiz! Imagine dressing half a dozen
youngsters three or four times day."
He had no trouble in finding a big
basket in the kitchen and in making a
little bed with the aid of some more
missionary garments. Then he depos-
tied the sleeping baby in the impro-
vised hamper and proceeded to array
himself in an old rain-coat of his
brother-on-law's that hardly came be-
low his knees, for Mr. Carver was a
small man and his wife's brother a
small giant The cook was out, so he
thanked his lucky stars and hurried as
fast as possible. A SLOUGH rubber hat
and an old umbrella completed the
costume, and the basket he carefully

ford to abandon his private business

COMMITTEE ON TROPHIES
GETS RESULTS SPEEDILY
Letters Show How Big Interests
Regard the CongreSS--Gov-
ernor and Committee Off to
Las Cruces.

The first big trophy fund for the
sixteenth National Irrigation congress
has arrived. 1t is for $500, and is the
gift of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, and it came unsolicited.
This voluntary contribution shows
how the big interests of this section
regard the irrigation congress and
what they are willing to do to make
it a success. The American Fuel com =
many is a Colorado corporation, al
though it has some mining interests
in New Mexico. The offer of this fund
came to Colonel X. E.. Twitchell in
the following letter from President
Bowen of the American Fuel COM
pany:
Denver. Colo,
December T. 1907.
Colonel r. f. Twitchell,
East Las Vegas, n. M.
MY Dear Colonel:-I am informed
that the next National Irrigation con
gress will hold its meeting in Albu-
uuerdue and that you are chairman OF
the committee on trophies. h
American Fuel company will con-
tribute $500 with which to purchase
a trophy to be given for the best fruit
or cereal produced in New Mexico or
ARIZONA. i want to leave 1t to your
committee to select the trophy and
also TO select the fruit or cereal for
which the trophy viii be given.
Yours truly,
G. w. BOWEN,
This letter shows clearly the i'm
portanee attached to the irrigation
congress outside of New Mexico and
by corporations with large interests
here. Ii is a good . beginning and
Colonel Twitchell advises that he has
several other equally attractive troph-
les in view.
