TOMARROW IS
LEAP YEAR DAY
(From Fridays Dally)

"Albeit Il has now become part
OF the common law that as often as
every blsextie year doth return the
ladies have the sole privilege during
the time 1t contlnueth, --------and
moreover no man will be entitled to
benefit OF clergy, who doth in any
wise treat their proposals with CON
tumely."
Tomorrow is the 29th OF Febru-
airy when the prerogatives granted
the ladies "slnce the memory OF man
runneth not TO the contrary" as Is
shown by the English record OF the
year 1905 have their widest sway.
Not again for four years will the
feminine half OF the world be en-
titled. according to the law and the
evidence, with the degree OF initla-
tive that is granted them tomorrow
and the days record should show
some remarkable developments.
In a number OF towns and cities
the ladies are going to turn the time
honored privilege OF Leap Year Day
to very practical and very useful
end by carrying on active campaign
for contributions for some such pub
lie enterprise as park movements or
public library. The plan OF the OPP
erations will vary in different cities
but the result will be the same
every man who is asked for quar-
ter OF fifty cents or dollar or what
ever the limit may be, must corply
with the proposal, under pam OF
punishment to tit the crime In IL
number OF places men who have
complied with the law will be set
apart by tags Of appropriate size and
Inscriptions. The ladies OF Dallas
are preparing to make the most o.
their opportunities after this fashioa,
and In the neighboring city OF Here
ford also the men will be tagged
after having made the requisite CON
trSbution for civic improvements,

From Kansas City pulpit last

reason why. This was when he

where GrablIl II wanted on charge
OF forgery,
Grabill will be remembered here
as well dressed and apparently
monied young stronger who descend
ed on Amarillo with a large splash
during the holidays Mixing was his
long suit and as a lady's man no
shone, gllttered and--flashed. While
here he lost, according 10 very cir
oumstanlial accounts given his assoc
ciatos. a pocket book containing
amounts In currency notes and val
uablo papers whose worth was va
rlously estimated as high as $1,000,
He advertised extensively for this
package but unfortunately he never
found It. Naturally the absence Of
this amount OF money from his pock-
cts made necessary few more or
less modest requests from his
friends. In return for these accom-
modatlons, Grablll gave checks on
banks In Oklahoma. Grabll hailed
from Oklahoma and also from other
points all over the known world but
when he departed on date which
Is not yet quite clear. he left no ad-
dress, and he was not definitely To-
Gated again til he was registered in
the city jail in Colorado Springs for
passing worthless checks,
In the meantime inquiries from
acquaintance whom Grablll had
made in other towns began TO turn
up. and by the time he squared
things at Colorado Springs a war
rant was out for him In Portaes for
forgery In Portales he passed
checks under the name OF c. s. Le-
Roy. Here and at Roswell and 9th
er places which have felt his pres
ence he has drawn checks In LoRoy's
favor and signed them himself, or
vice versa. Il develops that his
name is Claude Leroy Grabill, so
he can claim that the name used at
Portales was his own.
Yesterday while here Grabin
squared several bad checks which he
passed during his stay here One
which he was unable TO meet he sent
his brother In Bartlesvnle, okla,
with an order TO pay II. Bartles-
VILE, OKLA, has been his home but
a letter received here from 2 bank
there on which a number OF these
worthless checks have been drawn,
gives GrabilI a far from savory re-
cord.

MAKE THE SOUTH HEADQUARTERS IN
STEAD OF A DUMPING GROUND.

Mr. Southern Farmer, you need more horse
power, more and bigger and better horses TO
farm with. You have good brain and good
muscle, but you have used your muscle more
than your brain. You have used your muscle
TO great disadvantage trying to make it do
the work OF horse muscle, and you have been
so busy at this that you haven't given your
bran half chance. Yes, you need more and
bigger and better horses-and YOU can raise
them, too, if you will. But you will never
have them as long as you are content with
the freaks, scrubs, chunks, plugs, derelicts.
and castaWays Of the big Western horse mar
kets. In recent issue of this paper Mr. W.
ID. Null, successful Illinois farmer who lust
settled IN Alabama, wrote the following, which
we want you to read again:
The farmers in the North Central States
DO most Of their work with four-horse machin-
cry; and it is built for 12OO-pound horses,
or heavier. They use brood mares and three
and four year-old colts; and as fast as the
colts reach five years, they are fattened for
market; and the local buyers go around from
farm to farm, picking them up The best
ones are sold for use in the Cities other classes
w NC ucCu DIS lUSSG1S, GApOIG0TS, 6GC.,
last Of all, the mismated little, ponybuilt
fellows that everybody has no use for, are
punched together with all the mondescript
insists of the trotting and road breeds, and
started South as Southern chunks and cot
ton horses and how the Northern farmer
pities the man who has to make living by
working such horses"
The people who use big horses and machin-
cry are doing pretty we'll, you see. Mr.
Southern Farmer, go up to the horse markets
and sit at the first table. What is better still,
go to work, raise your own horses and some
to SELL and thus sit at the head of the table.
You can do it. IT never saw a country
writes Mr.. Null in the issue just referred to,
where horses could be grown cheaper than
here in the South-not even the range country.
Why raise all these knot head cattle, worth
/ 3-4 to 2 IL cents pound, when the same
grass will grow horse worth 10 to Is cents
a pound?"
Make Southern farms headquarters for the
best horses instead of a dumping ground for

THE Two HANDLES.
8 Everything has two handles-one by which
\ it may be borne; another by which it cannot
-Epictetus.
There are innumerable cups on the table Of
life Some are gilded and beautiful. Some
contain bitter mixtures. Others are sweet to
the taste. Every man must take such of the
cups as are given him. What happens? The
most beautiful cup often becomes bitter. The
most bitter cup often grows sweet See how
this is!
You often take the morning by the handle
of ffown and the whole day will frown on
you Take the stormiest day with smile
and it will grow pleasant
Take your work by the handle of reluctance
and it will grow intolerabIe you, the same
man. take the same work by the handle Of
Willingness andit becomes easy Try it!
Take your pleasure by the handle of self
indulgence and the pleasure is spoiled take
it by the handle of generosity, share it, and
it will last
Take wealth by one handle and it loads
you with cares; take it by the other handle
and see what will happen
Take your business as means of getting
" living anu IL UeCOm0S vulgar QfuQSeTY; take
1T as a means of social service and it will be
noble religion.
Take marriage by the handle of your self
will and it turns out failure; take it by the
handle Of love and you will be more happy
every day.
Handle men with distrust and you will never
get on with them; handle them by good will
and the same men will be your friends
Take yourself by the handle Of egotsm and
you waste your power. Use the handle Of
modesty and the world is with you.
Take pain by the handle Of fear and you
will always have something to suffer. Take
pain by the handle Of courage and nothing can
hurt you.
Take sorrow with self pity and you will be-
come too lonely to live Take it by the handle
Of your sympathy and your sorrow shall be
translated into new power to help all others
who suffer
Take the world by the handle Of doubt and
the day grows dark Take it as Gods world
and the sun and stars will always be shining.
Take death with dread and you lessen the
tide of life Take death with hope and life
broadens into an infinite meaning.-Chas. F.
