Mrs. Baker said very little, for she
had often noticed that an announce

later on by q second announcement to
the effect that the perfect maid had
been offered higher wages by Mrs. So
and-so and had gone to get them.
Therefore Mrs Baker followed Brer
Rabbits tactics Of "layin' low"
More than this, she decided to be
very diplomatic. She would offer Mag

her before any one else had a chanca
She was pleased with her plan.

and cheerful during this hot summer
and through Dorothy's illness. and

Maggie thanked her, and Mrs. Baker
smiled at the thought Of her own as

Some men go helter-skelter from

ocrat, who came to this country from
Corsicana, Texas in 1878, when all
southeastern New Mexico was en-
just after the close of the notorious
Lincoln county war, and was friendly
with all sides from the start. He
worked on the range with cattle and
horses, and was one of the very first
settlers and officers of the town of
Carlsbad being a deputy sheriff, mar
shall, ETC., and acted as bailiff of the
first term of court ever held in Eddy
county. He is now city marshal or
chief of police in Roswell, having held
the position continuously under three
administrations. This in itself should
be sufficient evidence that he has Civ

in the same line of work he would
Uncle Jesse is SO years old, and has
only one arm, but he is feared and
respected by eVil-doers. He doesn't
drink or gamble-has not taken
drink of whisky in twenty years. This
matter is strictly personal with aim,
however, and he has no particular
criticism to make of the man who
occasionally takes a drink. Still he
considers it bad medicine and conf
dentially warns his friends to beware
of taking too much.

court, probably knows as much about

Roberts was justice of the peace
there in the early days, and knew
him as an officer in various positions
many years of the exciting

ed to a Record reporter today that
Mr.. Rascoe was an exceptionally good
peace officer and absolutely fearless
in the execution of his duty. Roberts
says that to Rascoe was largely due
any success he had in his work as
justice in restraining the tough ele
me1t of Eddy in those turbulent
times; that Mr.. Rascoe backed him
up in every move and helped him sus-
tain the law as but few officers could.
He believes that Rascoe would make
a good sheriff if elected.

Scranton, Pa, Jan. 1.-Two girls
were killed and seven Others serious
ly injured in a fire today in the build
ing occupied by the Imperial under
wear factory. Two hundred girls are
employed in the building and there
was a panic when the alarm of fire
was sounded. Florence Watrous was
cought in the burning building and
met a terrible death il the flames.
Marie Buckley, who with number
of other girls jumped from a fire es-
cape, broke her neck. The injured
were all more or less burned upon
the fire escape before they jumped.
They suffer from broken limbs and
internal injuries. The fire is supposed
to have started from the overturning
of a glue pot in the basement. The
flames spread rapidly, and the girls,
most of whom were on the fourth
floor, fed to the fire escapes. They
got as far as the second story, and
from there jumped to the areaway.
Many girls fed down narrow stair
way. some tainted, and a jam was
threatened, but the firemen got all
out before the fire reached that por-
ton of the building. The property loss
is $4,000.
