for twenty years trying to make liv-
ing out of this same land, shakes his
head and says it is beyond his under
standing how these things can be.
Another illustration may be given in
a different line. In this case only fif-
teen acres are involved. 1t was not an
attractive piace of land, but the new
owner went at it with intelligence and
skill, and in a few months the fifteen
acres were beautiful to look at. In
three years it has come to be fine or
chard, where once the mesquite brush
and the cactus ruled unhampered. In
two more years this orchard will be
turning off fruit at the rate Of $500 an
acre.
These two examples illustrate what
can be done by intelligent work in this
climate with this soil and ample water
supply, and indicate the character of
the reports which are received by the

Service, Washington, D. g.

Christmas After Freedom.

On a typical plantation the first
Christmas after the war came gloomi-
ly indeed. A number of the negroes
still inhabited the old quarter but
they were too demoralized and unset
tied in mind to work. The cotton
crop had been failure, and old debts
had swallowed up the proceeds. No
boxes and barrels containing good
things for Christmas had been rolled
from the steamboats, out upon the
plantation landing-as in better times.
But Christmas morning there was the
old chorus, merry Chris mus under
the window.
The master of the house flung open
the window impatiently and called
out: "There's no Christmas for you
here; you will have to make your own
Christmas now" An old patriarch of
the tribe stepped forward and barred
his grey head. yves brought lii
Chris mus 'membrance fer Marster and
Mistis, please sah," he said. They
came in then. Each had gift and
laid it on the table in silence. One
brought dressed chicken, another a
dozen eggs, the patriarch brought a
baked 'possum. A pair of home knit
socks, bag of hickory nuts and bas-
ket of walnuts were among the offer

There was little Christmas chez,

away; every heart responded to the
prayer uttered by the old negro leade,
when he was departing. Bowing hi,

THE GIFT OF BETHLEHEM.

The angels sang, the white star burned,
A path for clowns and kings;
The night was full of miracle,
Of song and slanting wings.
Yet Mary, where the oxen fare,
What knew she of these things?
The kings and shepherds entered in
And bowed beside her there.
Oh, wonder wrought the gifts they
brought,
Yet what was hers to care,
Who would not raise her eyes to gaze
Nor see that they were fair2
She only knew that on her heart
Her little child was pressed;
If kings drew near she had no fear,
Save lest they break his rest.
The while they knelt she only. felt
His head upon her breast
Gone are the gifts of gold and gem,
The sweets of frankincense and
myrrh;
The years have spilled the scents there
of,
o, little child of Bethlehem,
Still, still endures the love of her.,
Who gave thee love, who gave thee
love,

SUCCESS OF NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

Sbrffai 10 the Ma0S.
The first crop season, after the open
ing of the Carlsbad project in south
eastern New Mexico, built by the q.
S. Reclamation Service, closes with a
most excellent showing to the men
who have worked intelligently, and
taken advantage of the natural condi-
tions existing in this part of the Ter
ritory. The day of the pioneer is ov-
er. He is never developer in the
true sense of the word He has cour
age to settle on land be it ever so unin-
viting, clear it, and bring it into
a semblance of cultivation, He gets
but small returns as he lacks the skill
to compel the soil to return bountiful-
ly. When the land is cleared, his work
is done; he passes on, and his place is
taken by the farmer proper, who knows
little about reclaiming virgin land and
never attempts pioneer work. When
the rough edges of new country have
been taken off, he steps in and begins
the real development The Carlsbad
project is now entering upon its real
agricultural development. The pioneer
has finished his work. An illustration
or two will make this clear.
In the fall of 1905 Wm. E. Ball came
from Missouri and bought tract of
land adjoining Loving. Irrigation was
new to him. The climatic conditions
were strange. The soil was not like
his old Missouri soil. The first year
Mr.. Ball fioundered around following
this mans advice. and disregarding
some other mans advice. His first
season work was apparently a fail
ure, and if any man had reason to be
dissatisfied with the country he had,
But all this time he had kept his eyes
open. He had learned by his own mis-
takes, and by the mistakes of his
neighbors. At the end of the first yeal
he had solved the puzzle and began tC
farm skillfully and profitably. He
planted about fifty acres of alfalfa.
He plowed his ground, narrowed, disk
ed it, narrowed it again, leveled it, in
short went over his land dozen time
or more before it was ready TO plant
He planted and the results were a sur
prise to his neighbors, who had slwayi
claimed that alfalfa would never grow
in that locality, At the end of hi
second season, Mr.. Ball has taken in
enough money to cover his original in
vestment, and the cost of every i'm
provement that has been made on tn,
place, including large residence, sheds
deep well, granary, etc. He has ,

passer-by, and is today worth ovel

being $i6 an acre. Mr.. Ball has plant

In Terrible Mine Explosion
at Rend City, III.
RESCUE PARTY FINDS BODIES
Explosion of Such Force That
II Shook Buildings Four
Miles Away.

DUQUOTN, Ill. Dec 10. -(Special)
At $3.50 Saturday evening, December
ie. the second explosion in the Rend
mine near Benton, ILL.,, occurred caus-
ing the death of three shot firers They
were Chas Donahue, of Pennsylvania,
George McManaman, of Herrin, and
Will Murphy, of Virden.
y Little is known of the cause of the
explosion and it is not known whether
or not the men were killed instantly,
or whether they we're killed by the
poisonous after damp which followed
the explosion.
State Mine Inspector w. S. Burriss
hastened to Benton and lead search
ing party into the mine in search of
the shot tirers as soon as the mine
could be entered. They worked hard
but it was not until nearly one O clock
the morning after that they were able
to reach the bodies of the dead men.
One theory which is advanced and
may have been the cause of the explos-
ion, is that part of the mine which
had been sealed up to stop the fire caus-
by the explosion of Nov. 5, was full
of gas and this is thought to have ex-
ploded.
