w. F.. Webb, the author Of "RunAld Land," tells this cat story:
 The chicken hawk of the west is 3 sayage and dangerous enemy. but once one of these air pirates got worsted. l was sitting in front of the doctors Of dce when hawk shot down with won derful rapidity of wlng-so fast that it's shadow seemed hardly to reach the earth before It's body It bounced upon the doctors fayorite kitten. which lay asleep on the grass, and made off with 1t. At an elevation of about fifty feet puss recovered from it's surprise and went to work for liberty.

Ants the Ideal Communists.

It would perhaps be pushing meta phors to an unwarranted extreme tc speak of dignity of labor" in connee ton with the occupations of ants. But If by the phrase we mean that lahm, Is the honorable lot of all citizens, and that all labors of whatever sort ar upon the same level of responsibility then we might venture to apply the saying even to the labors of an an, hill. For therein all are workers. from the newly tledged callow to the vetera~ of a second summer.-Henry McCook In Harper's.

SALOON MAN INUNDATED
BY A LITTLE CHILD.
("Parson" Puckett.)

h "Parson" understands that
there are two or more saloon men in
Roswell who are making plans to get
out of a business which they are con-
vince is not respectable. At the bot
tom of heir hearts, or tucked away
in some corner of nearly
every saloon man or gambler in Ros-
well cherishes a shrine of buried in
nocence on whi-h he often sheds tears
of soul-felt penitence. Thes men
drifted into the saloon business with
out much effort, thinking little of
making it a permanent business or
Of it's effect upon their own families
and friends. But it requires manly
courage and resolution to quit a call
ing IN which there is "easy money"
and take up a means of making a liv-
ing that may require harder work
and return mailer profits.
To our mind, one of the bravest and
most worthy men in Roswell is a for
mer saloon keeper whom everybody
knows as the present proprietor of
the best candy and confectionery
store in the Southwest.
There are still engaged in the sa-
loon business in Roswell at least
three men for whose business sense
the Parson has a great deal of re-
specimen capable of managing
banks, dry goods, ROGER o. drug
stores, farms, orchards, real estate,
mr. almost onu nthnr noifinaot TO h11Ci-
ness, as well as other leading citizens
do. We wish that these men would
quit the saloon business, and that the
city of Roswell would prohibit the
liquor traffic, or that everybody would
a to p%atronize the liquor sellers
so that tie saloons might die a natu-
raj death. The last proposition, of
course, is merely a m%illennial dream.
However, we started to tell a story,
and have wandered from the subject.
The names of the parties are with
held, for obvious reasons. AS one of
the most prominent saloon men il
Roswell started down town recently,
his little daughter inquired:
Papa, why don't you ever AXE me
down to your store and let me play?
Mary's papa takes her dow to his
store every Saturday when there is
no school, and lets her play there all
day n come home with him"
What explanation the saloo nan
made to the child, we do not know;
but afterward in telling a friend about
it, he said:
Il am going to sell out and quit. 1
will not continue in a business that
I am ashamed for my own children
to now anything about"
There is another saloon man here
who was formerly a druggist, and
who is becoming disguised with the
liquor business. He remarked to a
friend of the Parson a few days ago.:
II would like to have a talk with that
Pickett, as man to man., and try
to convince him that I am not a
mere brute. l am ready to quit the
saioon business just as soon as 1 can
dispose of the stock 1 have on hand
and get my money out of it. I can
a good living in the drug bust
ness Or something else, and I am tir-
of being considered a brute"
Without further parley, we are con-
WINGED that the man referred to is
a brute. There is manliness
enough in him to stop drifting and
swim for the shore. He is described
by friends who know him intimately
a. a man with "a heart in him as
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-01-17

large as an OK Such a man makes
if he takes the wrong road, on ac-
count of his following, does infinitely
more harm than the cold-blooded sort
of chap. He is for the same reason
capable of doing much more good in
the community if he strikes out on
a proper course. Such a man will
demand absolute sincerity, and will
not be deceived by any hypocritical
patronage or pretense on he part of
those who would Jul him to
break away from his present associa-
lions. He has loyal friends in his
present environment, and is very
strongly attached II these friends
for true friends they are, in spite of
a moral code that is not up to the
standard of pulpit ethics. They are
Intensely human, IN act of concrete
~benevolence appealing much more
strongly to them than a merely
homiletical abstraction. In other ord
they are attracted by personality and
"a III NAACL ~ wi
~tificates of character and fervid elo-
cution. They are shy of the man VINO
is unable to understand their view
point, and who breaches to them as
one set apart from and far above
them. They must be met and won at
some point upon the level of their
own code, and for that reason the
sLrong man who knows how to reach
their hearts by a sympathetic land
clasp, will not waste words, but first
lend encouragement by showing a
genuine human interest in the prob
lem of helping them to live better
lives. They are men i k as you are,
and if you can't meet them on their
own ground, as man to man, your
preaching at them is an impertinence.
The Parson condemns the saloon bus
mess. AS for h men engaged in it,
let each one stand upon his own mer-
its as a man-some of them better
and some worse than the men who
buy and drink what the saloon men
