THE BIBLE AND WHAT VI
is TO MAN"

This is the one factor that
gives the Bible such power over
man. 1t is the book of hope.
Open the Bible at the beginning
and read the first word of hope
that ever fell on the ears cf NOR
tals. Tu2n to the very last chap
5cr recorded in the Holy Scrip
3urcs and read there the grand
st song of hope that ever
oheered the human heart. Be
tween these two promises you
sill frd messages Of hope as
hick as leaves ON the forest tree.
It matters not whether prophet
or psalnlist or an angel OR the
word Of God himself is spoken
BY means of his prophet---the
7otce is always that Of hope.
Thanks and alteration to Gcd
Tor this book which he has given
to tman freighted with all hops
and promise

SAINTED HYPOCRICY.
Delivered at the BenG David
Synagogue.
Rabbi Price, Of Baltimore, Md.

eve should never judge a
mans piety by the loudness of
his amen nor the willingness to
serve the Lord by the size of his
contribution. Although it is true
that all lives will bear inspection
close scrutiny and proper con-
struction with due allowance for
human deficiencies-still the ac-
tual measure Of the man will be
revealed. We should not be too
exacting, but by no means seek
to cOndone an offense that merits
both censure and criticism. The
church has too long been explait-
ed as @ shield for men whose acts
are not above suspicion, and
those who have ensconsed them
selves with it's sanctity lend an
air of righteousness to their
questionable lives. 1t is a duty
encumbent upon the moral
world. A duty that we cannot es-
cape to separate the wheat from
the tares, to raise the standard
of morality and threaten those
who dare defy it's laws with os-
tracisn and the scorn Of the
world. The spectacle of men who
employ sweat shop labor when
the daily grind with it's racking
t0rments drive men to despera-
5ion-or still worse, a victim to
the throes of consumption and
then lavishly contribute towards
the maintenance of hospitals and
other charitable institutions, can
no longer in the name Of justice
be coUntenanced. We must strip
the glamour from these sainted
hypocrits and let them stand
forth in their naked hideousness
a monument to the rotten So
cial order the world over.

PREACHING FOR NOTO-
RIETY.

RIETY.
"When two persons are unit
ed in the holy bonds of matri-
mony," he said, "there can be
no bond of love without concord
ant youth. Unless there is this
youth there is no guaranty of
happiness.
"You must look at life through
the same glasses at similar
stages of life so as to further
that unity of sentiment whic7
should exist.
"And where there is concord
ant youth let me say that you
will have more trouble if your
daughter is married to an ortho
dox Jew than if married TO
gentle. You girls cut there 4
not know what it means tt
marry the so-called orthodox
Jew"
The above expressions wc9
given utterance by Rabbi En-
G.. Hirsch at Chicago last Sun
day.
Of course people who havc
read of this rabbi before will no
be startled by such remarks. +
great majority of our rabbiS pre-
fer not to encourage inter-nar,
riage-in fact, discourage it
and here comes DR.. Hirsch and
tells us it is preferable to marry
a gentle to an orthodox Jew.
1t is detestable to see and hear
people continually naTplAg o.
what the Rabbinate does and
says. But when a Jewish minis
ter comes out openly and make
the declaration as above we car
not pass it unnoticed.

bright enough man to attrac
more than passing attention O.

paid dividends last year at the
rate of 25 per cent. There are
two soap factories at Haifa, and
big flour mills at Jerusalem. This
year, also, the first steamship
dared to invade the stagnant wa
tiers of the Dead Sea, and to take
possession of it in the name of
commerce.
With modern methods of irri-
cation and scientific farming,
Palestine could be made a veri-
table Garden of Eden. 1t has
the same climate, very nearly, as
Southern California. There are
$50 varieties of birds in it's or
ange groves and oleander trees
and three thousand kinds Of flow
ers in it's fields and valleys. With
a single generation Of capital and
Jewish-American industry, Pal
estine would become the dainti-
est little country in the world.
But about the greatest number of
Jews who would ever return to
Palestine would be 100000,
and these people would go into
factories and other great indus
trial enterprises. Palestine would
never, according to the Zionists,
be devoted to agriculture.
The river Jordan is an ideal
torrent for water-power. Under
the listless regime of the Turks
it is the one tireless and ener-
getic thing in the whole region.
For more than hundred miles
it plunges from side to side with
q reckless waste of strength,
which will some day give cleo
trio light and power to the pic
turesque towns that straggle
along it's banks.
1t was here, not far from the
Jordan, that the human race in
vented glass. 1t was near by,
up the coast of the Mediterran-
can Sea, that Tyre and Sidon
fourished- the two greatest COM
mercial cities of antiquity. SO,
when the Jews regain Palestine,
they may find that they have
done much more than crafty
their patriotic feelings. They
may find themselves in possess
sion of one of the best business
corners" on the worlds highway.

he was not cut out for Laundry work
any way, Lit out, He ran off with buff
falo hunters and became associated
, with Bill May and Bird Hurt, two of
the best known Buffalo Hunters in
those days and they were conducting
big Buffalo hunting expedition,
Hurt was a native Mississip plan and
May was from Texas and was a des-
perado and bad man generally. He
stayed with the buffalo hunting outfit
all winter, There were three six mule
Eight men were employed and the
teams hauled the supplies out and the
buffalo hides into Julesberg, Nebras-
ka and Greely, Colorado, The buffalo
hunters operated on the 8, Platte riv-
er south, this way, on the southside,
as far south as the Arkansas river, in
Colorado,
Young Stockard thought he was
tired of the Buffalo hunting business
and went to work for the Iliff COW
outfit in the summer as a cow punch
er, Buffalo in the Colorado and Ne
braska country were more plentiful
then than rab bits are now in the best
''infested rabbit sections. In the Fall
of 1877 Young Stockard went back to
the Buffalo Killing Outfit and remain
ed with them during fall and winter
seasons until 1886, and then during
the spring and summer seasons he
was engaged in cow-punching and
was connected in various capacities
with cattle outfits,
In the fall of 1886 his mother, Mary
Elizabeth Stockard, his sister Ida, and
his brother John came to Greedy, Col
orado, He then came TO Greedy and
stayed with his folks all winter, The
next Spring, 1887, he was employed
by the Wyoming Cattlemens Associa-
ton to come to Arkansas river, in
Colorado to investigate the cattle of
the company in that state in regard to
drifting of the stock, He thoroughly
satisfied himself as to the holdings of
the Wyoming cattlemens Association
and after his deliberations and con-
ferences, taking several months, in
the fall of 1887 he went to Greedy to
join his mother, sister and bro ther,
His first position in that place was
night clerk at the Oasis Hotel, He
held this place for five months and
then secured management of the Bill
lard and Pool hall for one year, Lat
er he was beok.keeper and stewart of
the hotel for three years and after
that time rented the hotel and was
active manager and owner far eigh-

to Cripple Greek for three months
and went back to Greely, but only
remained there . short time,
When he left Greedy he went down

Small in stature, but big in mental
ity and breadth of mind is the history
of boy born in Oxford, Mississippi,
who has made name in New Mexio
for himself and displayed plainly that
he is a man who can see ahead, alike
as his fellow citizen George Curry,
who is now Governor of New Mexico
and was a ma tive of louisiana.
The subject of this sketch is none
other than James William Stocka rd,
better and very familiarly known to
his numerous friends here as sJim"
Stockard. He was born July Is, 1868
at Oxford, Mississippi, in Lafayette
county. His parents were j A and
Elizabeth Stockard and when he was
father died and he was left only with
a mothers care. He grew to boyhood
in his southern home and at the age
of thirteen years he was left to seek
his fortune and name in the then lit
orally speaking '.wild and wooley
west".
Columbus Chambers of Memphis,
Tennessee, had been on the frontier of
Nebraska and Colorado add came to
Mississippi to interest the citizens in
this country. His efforts were reward
ed when he left with James Ison and
Msjor Ison, respectively uncle and
cousin of James w Stockard, and
Stockard, boy only Is years of age,
Buck Delbridge, Alf Kendall and a
man named Cook, (given name for
gotten).
The little party arrived March %,
1876 at Julesberg, Nebraska, on the
Platte river. Three days before they
got there the town had been com:
pletely destroyed by hostile Indians
who burned every building in the set
Element, A temporary building had
been erected in this time that served
the joint purposes of depot station
house, restaurant, rooming house,
and etc.
Plenty of COW punchers were in ey-
idenoe and the Indian uprising had
oaused a detachment of United States
Soldiers from Sidney, Nebraska to
come to the rescue and these soldiers
saved the teams that had been order
ed previously by MIR Chambers to
take the Mississippi party up the
Platte river, into Colorado, where
Messers Ison and associates intended
to 60 into the stock business. The
party left due west up the Platte riv-
or to Old Ft. Wickett stage station
called South Platte, little settlement
= distance of about 80 miles from
Julesberg, Nebreska. The new set
tlers from Mississippi built an adobe
house and the boy, "Jim" Stockard
stayed with them until the fall 1875,
when he got d satisfied. There were
practically no women in the country
and aJim" was delegated to wash
clothes and he went to the river and
entered into the task as .swasherwo-
man, to the best of his ability. The
patrons decided that he had not done

Aldermen Bell, Carlton, Rhea, Robin
were present when last nights regu-
lar session of the city council was
called to order, and it proved to be
a busy and Interesting one, although
adjournment was taken at 1915, the
earliest the council has adjourned in
many day.
Upon call to citizens present for
anything they might have to bring
before the council, w. NJ. Atkinson
asked, in the name of the directors
of the Roswell Fair Association, that
the city council take over the prop
erty of the association and assume
its Indebtedness of approximately
$1,000, or give the directors of the
association permission to dispose OF
the buildings at the fair grounds and
pay Off the indebtedness. The request
was referred to the finance commit
tee.
James F. Hinkle, J. Smith Lea, j.
W. Stockard and DR.. ]. w. Kinsinger
made talks, urging the council to
vote down the proposed ordinance
which would remove screens and 9th
looms, all agreeing that the proposed
ordinance was in conflict with the
Democratic platform upon which the
councilmen were elected and that the
agitation should be stopped, at this
time. The ordinance was considered
later.
Councilman Bell introduced ordin
ance No. 156, establishing curb line
to protect the sidewalks while the
fire plugs are being put in. The ordin-
ance was passed under suspension
of the rules.
