coming along with it, we can
stand it too, so best wishes to the

At this writing we are having
some very cold weather. Not
withstanding we are getting ready
for crops. According to our way
of thinking there is nc part OF the
territory better adapted to agricul-
ture without irrigation than this
section of Quay county. This is
fast becoming the garden spot of
northeast New Mexico. And as
to the social surroundings and in
fuences, they are fine. There is
much improvement going or of the
substantial kind, too; this is indi-
cative of a class of settlers who
are here to stay. Preparations are
under way for the erection Of a
school and church building, etc.

Out of His Class

There is a clerk in the employ of
a Philadelphia business man who,
while a fair worker, is yet an in
dividual of pronounced eccentri-
city,"
One day a wire basket fell off
the top of the clerks desk and
scratched his cheek. Not having
any court plaster at hand he slap
ped on three two-cent postage
stamps and continued his work.
A few minutes later he had &C.
casion to take some papers to his
employers private office. When
he entered, the "old man" observ-
ing the postage stamps on his
cheek fixed him with an astonished
stare. Look here, Jenkins" he
exclaimed. you are carrying too
much postage for second-class
matter"

Information About Public
Schools.

FEBRUARY, Is, 1905.
Circlar Letter to County Superin-
tendents.
Dear SIR
On account Of the fact that
thousands of welcome homestead
ers are coming to this Territory
and manifesting their proper inter-
est in establishing public schools,
think it well that you should have
a copy Of the following opinion
recently given by the Territorial
Attorney General, Honorable
James II. Hervey.
1t has been the opinion of many
that it was unsafe for settlers who
were proving up on their claims to
build a substantial school house
on property which had not been
transferred from the Government
to individuals.
Yours very sincerity,
(Signed } J. E. CLARK.
January az, 1908.
Hon. J. E. Clark,
Supt. of Public Instruction,
Santa Fe, N. M.
Dear Sir
am in receipt of your let
ter of the 9Th inst. stating that
you have been advised that home
steaders cannot, prior to proving
up on their land filed upon and
the receipt of the patent therefor,
donate a portion of their land for
the erection of a school house there
on, and by reason of which you
desire an opinion of this office as
to whether u. S. Government land
may be condemned for school
sites.
Inasmuch as the information
given you, and which occasioned
the request for this opinion, is
erroneous, the necessity therefor
does not exist. Under the provis-
ions Of Sec. 2288 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, any
person who has already or hear after
may settle on the public lands,
either by presumption, or by virtue
OF the homestead law or any amend
ments thereto, shall have the right
to transfer, by warranty againsthis
own acts, any portion OF his pre-
emption or homestead for church,
cemetry, or school purposes, or for
right-of-way Of railroads across
such presumption of homestead,
and the transfer for such public
purposes shall in no way vitiate
the right to complete and perfect the
title to their presumption or home
steals.
Yours very truly,

JOHN AND HIS IDOLS.
The chinaman Is Utterly Devoid o.

The Chinaman Is Utterly Devoid Of
Reverence In His Religion.
How the Chinaman regards his idol
is told by the Rev. John MACEDONIAN:
"The Chinese is a person utterly de-
void of reverence, sentiment or devo-
ton In his religion. With him 1t Is a
matter either of fear or of business,
but mainly the latter. A house is
plagued with sickness, which is put
down not to bad sanitation or other
natural causes, but to the presence Of
evil spirits. This leads to visit to the
nearest temple to get the idol to drive
them away. A new business is going
to be commenced, but before doing so
1t is deemed essential to get the sup
port of the idols. If one idol says 1t
will not succeed another is appealed to
for its opinion, and If 1t is favorable 1t
is at once accepted as the correct one.
Should the venture turn out fail
ure no reproach of any kind is uttered
against the god whose prediction has
blame upon himself. His character has
not been pure. he says, or he was born
under an evil star, or he was naturally
unlucky and so was bound TO fail In
anything that he undertook.
Men never dream of thinking about
their idols as we do about God. No
affection is shown for them. 1t is most
amusing to watch the faces of the Chi
nese when you ask them if the idols
love them. The eyes CLEAN, the face
broadens into wide grin. and soon
hearty laughter is heard at this most
facetious and side splitting joke

when l visited Mexico" said an
artist, II found innumerable things of
interest, but that which gained my
notice particularly was the police sys-
TEN. In the City Of Mexico the police
at night are stationed at short inter
walls apart in the street. Each police
man has lantern, which is placed on
a stand in the center of the street. 1t
is his duty to remain in easy striking
distance of this lantern ut all times,
SO that he will be ON hand in case of
an emergency.
Any person who is able to reach
the lamp and lift it from its hook be-
fore the policeman interferes is entitled
to reward of $500. Any policeman
who loses his lantern is subject to in
slant and dishonorable dismissal This
is to insure constant vigilance on their
part and TO require their presence at
a certain point at all times. At first
regarded the thing as a joke. and
tried TO get possession of the police

one requires them. and it is virtually
impossible for desperadoes to operate

A SUICIDES HAND.
The Queer Superstition That Used to
Prevail In England.

Inc Queer Superstition That Used to
Prevail In England.
In former times it WAS common no
ton that if a sick person could only
touch the hand of suicide he or she
would be cured This superstition was
especially common in the west of Eng
land. In Cornwall touching suicides
hand was said TO have once cured a
young man who had been afflicted with
many tumors from his birth. A sim
liar superstition regarding the touch
of executed criminals has been widely
prevalent and has often been recorded.
Robert Hunt in his "Romances of the
West of England" says that he once
saw Il young woman led on to the
scaffold at Newgate in order to have a
Wen touched by the hand of man
who had just been executed.
AT northampton of old the hangman
is said TO have had ii regular fee for
according similar privilege" to suf-
ferers from like disorders. Even the
coffin of Il suicide may have curative
value. There is Il Devonshire belief to
the effect that If any one suffering
from disease can manage to throw n
white handkerchief on such coffin
ut the time Of Its intcrment the disease
will vanish as the handkerchief decays.
Much superstitious value has also been
attached TO the knots of the rope used
either by IL suicide or In the execution
of Il criminal

ARTISTIC TASTE.
In This the French Are First and the
Irish CoroA Nax%

Artistic taste is due to temperament.
Ind where this exists the simplest ma
terials lend themselves to artistic com
binations and beautiful effects.
The French excel in dainty. graceful
designs because of their volatile, mirth
loving temperamcuts. The Germans
ram never reach these heights because
their temperaments are just the re-
VERSE; while it has been proved in sew
t,'a worlrooms that. next to the
french. the Irish temperament is the
liost artistic.
Tic more artistic the general train
ag of II person the more ready are
l.cy to appreciate and profit by the
fine productions of others: hence We
ire glad to see and grateful for the
privilege Of studying the models
brought from Paris each season by the
pnterprisiug importers.
Twenty-Five years ago in Paris and
London the houses that catered to
America and the colonies put aside for
this trade any designs that We're too
extreme or Screaming" for the fastid-
ious home buyers. says the Millinery
Trade Review. But times have changed,
and the American woman is now con-
sidcred the best dressed in the world,
and the leaders of American society
are the women who dictate quite as
much as the elite of France.

be for the youth of the land. In

A Remarkable Church.


AT Stivichall, near Coventry, Eng;
land, there is a unique place of wor-
ship. In 1910 John Green, stonema-
son of strongly religious turn Of
mind, laid the first stone of the edifice.
and seven years later he completed the
building. In all that time he had as
sistance from no one, doing ull the
work with his own hands until the
church was ready for its interior fit
tings. Wooden and even brick build
ings erected by one or two men are
not uncommon, but this Is the only
structure in England and probably in
the world of which every stone was
laid by one man. The building accom-
modates quite a large congregation,
and the church derives considerable
revenue from the contributions of
sightseers who are drawn to the place
through curiosity.

That Admiral Luce Had.

That Admiral Luce Had.
Admiral Luce was In command of
the north Atlantic squadron In 1885,
and his flagship for time was an
chored in New York bay, where it
was visited by many people. One day n
party came aboard which included,
among others, a very pretty CIR! and a
very dignilied and learned Englishman.
AS Admiral Luce was entertaining
them in his cabin he asked the pretty
girl il she would like to see an original
autograph Of William Shakespeare.
At this the dignified and learned
Englishman pricked mp his ears and
remarked that he had made Il study of
the autographs of Shakespeare and
was positive there was no authentic
example in America. Admiral Luce re
authentic and that its genuineness had
never been questioned. This made the
Britisher quite mad, and lie delivered
Il lecture on the fraudulent autographs
and manuscripts that We're brought
over to America and exhibited as orig
lnals.
"Well,' replied the admiral, Il am
convinced that my autograph of Will
liam Shakespeare is genuine, and /
am going to have the pleasure of show
Ing it to this young lady," whereupon
he went to his desk. took out his WIS.,

Orleans, Jam. u, 1885," The English
man gave painful gasp and retired.

more than one year." the consequence
being that "a large proportion of the
old and middle aged men by frequent
changing have had many wives, and
their children, scattered around the
country, are unknown to them" Evi-

Tho Story of Violin That, Was
Wrecked In Fire.

Wrecked In Fire.
After the Lucky Baldwin theater and
hotel fire in San Francisco years ago
there were nine feet of water in the
basement, where the instruments of
the orchestra were stored. When lit
tie of 1T had been pumped out, August
Hinrichs, leader of the orchestra, hired
IL man to swim in and get out his ia
nous .Amatl violin.
1t was wrccked--water soaked, warp
ed, twisted and broken up into sixty
right pieces. The hot water had soak
I'd out all the old glue, and every piece
had fallen away from its neighbor, be-
sides good many patches of wood put
in when repairs had been done. To all
appearance the thing was smashed be-
yond recall.
Nevertheless Herman Muller, local
violin repairer, who knew and loved
the old fiddle, took it in hand. Twice
he carefully Joined the time darkened
pieces of wood. Twice he decided that
the .Amati would not do.
So once more he soaked the sixty
eight bits Of wood apart Then he
carefully modelled out Of clay an arch

kept the bits of wood bound to it until
they had gained the proper shape.
Once more he put the bits Of wood
together. Then for five weeks more lie
patiently vanished and polished the
more than 200 year old fiddle until 1t
shone Then Hinrichs once more drew
his bow across the vibrating strings,
and the violin spoke. 1t sank, wept,
dubbed with life and JOY.

The Marble and the Pencil.

The marble trick is as old as the days
of Aristotle. Cross the middle and
fore fingers and roll a marble between
them. The marble will feel like two,
because it is being felt in an unaccus-
toned way. If pencil is drawn be-
tween the crossed fingers the one pen
Gil will feel like parallel bars. The
same Illusion may be worked by plac-
Ing the pencil between the lips and
then moving the under lip to one side.
causins the pencil to feel like two.
More curious than any of these is the
one where the forefinger is crossed
over the little finger behind the other
two and then applied to the end of the
nose. Not only can you feel two noses.
but one of them seems to be about an
inch longer than the other. This last
is caused by the fact that
we do not ordinarily feel the edge OF
any object with these two fingers ut
the same time unless the part felt with
the little finger projects beyond the
part felt by the forefnger.-S Louis

Ell good watch. 1t does not matter in
the least whether you wind 1t at night
or in the morning." he told the reporter
But watch never keeps the same
time when the position is constantly
altered. Watches Which are sent to
Kew and which are tested in several
positions rarely keep the same time
The moral to be drawn, therefore, is
keep your watch as much as possible
in the position in which you wear 1t
during the day. In other words, hang
