WHEN SHE GIVES UP.

The Frenchwoman Of Years Deoen-
crates Into Dowdy.
The French have neat phrase for
the woman who. growing old. throws
OF, with the folfies Of middle age, all
pretensions to toilet. charm or good
looks. They say, in a word. that she
has abdicated.
But when the Partisan queen abdi-
Gates she does it in no half hearted
manner. Her dowdiness is thing to
make elegant elderly American women
stand aghast. The British matron of
mature years is dangerous siren CON-
pared with her French prototype.
From being a plump, silver voiced
enchantress she changes to an I'M
wieldy mass of flesh, with a baritone
voice. small bonnet twinkling with
jet placed far back on her parted and
.scraped hair and with black clothes Of
nameless fashion and depressing dingi-
ness.
This elderly Frenchwoman may be a
.dowager duchess from the Faubourg
or the cherished spouse Of your grocer.
The type Is the same.
The fact is that the French are an
eminently practical, not to say mate
RIAL race, and the Frenchwoman Is the
very embodiment Of these national
idiosyncrasies.
"What is the use" they would argue.
,"of running up bills for dresses and
what not when there is no chance of
any longer pleasing? Why not enjoy
the pleasures of the table. even If your
waist assumes alarming proportions,
when they are the only pleasures left?
Why try to speak in dulcet tones when.
as everybody knows, it is the grand
mother who has always the final word
In the French family and, whatever
the timbre Of her voice, her family will
be sure to listen to it?'
This frank acceptation Of old age
and all that it implies Is not without
its advantages, and. at any rate, you
are spared In Partisan society the spec
tacle that Is too familiar In other lands
Of grandmothers still dancing in SPAN
gled tulle-London Sketch.

CURING A T00THAcHE.


Remedy Of Cowboy That Proved Re
markedly Effective.
One of the cleverest old customers
we ever knew was Judge Booth. who
lived on the Bell ranch along the Red
river IN the northeastern part of New
Mexico. One morning out on the range
the judge rolled out of his blankets
with jumping toothache, and. al
though be exhausted all the remedies
in camp, nothing had any effect.
1t was forty miles to the nearest
town, with. the. chances against finding
dentist there, and it was finally de-
cided to appeal to one Of the Texas
cowboys riding herd five miles away.
He came over In response to the mes
sage, and after taking a look at the
tooth. which was double one on the
upper jaw, he said, ledge. ! can shoot
that tooth out as slick as grease If you
don't mind the scar It will leave on yer
cheek"
'.Shoot it outY shouted the judge at
the top of his voice. "Why, man. you
must be crazyw
"Waal, then, mebbe I kin pick In
'nuff powder to blow it out"
"Blow it out? Neverw
might possibly hammer. It out with
piece Of iron, unused the cowboy.
"And you might go to Patagonia and
beyondr exclaimed the indignant suf-
ferer..
Eyes, that's generally the way with
folks. I'm only tellin' you how we do
1t out here, but If you don't want the
tooth out Of course you'll have to stand
the pain"
The cowboy started, back to the day
herd, but after a gallop Of half a mile
he returned to beckon the other boys
aside and say: 1.-THE jedge seems to be
a purity squar' sort o. man. though a
leetel techy. and I'm sorry fur him.
Kin he sit on hoss?"
"Some of the time."'
"Kin he shoot?'
"Only now and then"
'Then l think / can cure that tooth
ache" A
He spent Eve minutes unfolding the
plot and then went over to the sufferer
and said. "Jedge, I've come back to
say that We are a BOBBY and cow
ardy
"What! yelled the judge as he
sprang up from his seat before the
campfire. ssar
"a BOBBY, coward and squaw,
jedge, and likewise burned old liarw
The judge jumped for him, but the
cowboy ran for his horse. There was
another near at hand, with two guns In
the holsters Of the saddle, and the
judge sprang aboard and gave chase.
Half mile out on the prairie the two
men began to shoot at each other, and
1t was not until the judge had fired his
twelfth bullet that the kind hearted
cowboy rode away and left his enemy
to ride into camp and declare, "Well.
by thunder, If that internal toothache
hasn't stopped so dead still that feel
just like singingr'-Denver Field and

saluting the Quarter Deck.

One Of the oldest customs in the
navy and one that Is often puzzling to
the landsman Is that of ''saluting the
quarter deck" Many have the hazy
idea that the national colors are its
object and that it is merely a naval
fad. While to certain extent 1t is a
fad. It is one Of hoary antiquity, be-
ing a survival Of the days when a cru
cif1x was placed on the stern Of ship
and was always saluted as a matter
Of course. When the crucifix was taken
away the old feeling still remained.
and men continued to salute the place
where 1t had been. The younger gen
Grafton initiated their elders, and the
salute became a habit and continues

four thousand population incor-
porating a Business Mems League
with a capital of $4,000. 90 with
$4,000. 90 paid in capital. This is
what Tucumcari has done this
month and this money will be
spent in advertising the resources,
agricultural, etc., of Quay county
and Northeastern New Mexico.
There are a number of larger towns
in the Territory that are years be-
hind Tucumcari in all matters Of
business enterprise, and some of
them were settled in the sixteenth
century, while Tucumcari has only
used six years of the twentieth.
In another twelve months our bus
mess people propose to have one
of the best hotels in New Mexico,
and more cement sidewalks than
any other town on the Rock Is

a town where the business men
are all hustling and willing to give
a portion of their time and capital
