Occasionally when he has had a fair

then she gets soup that, she can rel-

her in existence has been vested in a
little curly dog that runs to the neigh

times brings food. This little dog seems
to understand just what is needed. A
number or times he has come to the
house dragging a rabbit and jumping
about, wagging his tail as if he desir-

something his mistress could eat. When
the officers entered the kitchen, the dog
became frantic. Never mind" said

notified and promised to provide for her

brought her food. But the real friend
and provider has been the little dog
who still sat watching the woman in
deep sympathy when the officers went
away.

SHERIFF HUGHES CONTINUES
TO THREATEN BLIND TIGERS
Potter County Officer Declares Law
Must Be Obeyed or Prison Is
Result.

Sheriff Hughes, speaking to the
Daily Panhandle, OF his more recent
efforts In the matter OF closer en-
forcement of the local option law,
said.
Il have determined that all blind
tiger dives in Amarillo shall go. In
connection with this determination
10 close all Illegal joints, including
dlspensories of per cent, and sim.
liar places, special attention Rhall be
paid the Bowery district.
This step is taken for the very
reason that that portion Of the city
known as the Bowery is considered
hard to handle and keep in shape. 1t
is in this vicinity near the passen-
ger depots that the floating elements,
Including the bad and, perhaps, some
OF the good find Judgment and the
officers have had more Or less trout
bic In the strict enforcement OF the
laws In that quarter.
AT present no licensed dispenser
transacts business on the Bowery,
hence, II any man there is engaged
in the sale OF the beverages prohibit
ed by law, he will sooner or later be
landed behind the bars.
1--WE have reason 10 believe that
there are intoxicants being sold in
Amarillo which fail to come within
the protection of the drug or dispen-
sorry law. Those places believed
TO be engaged In this business are
watched, and they will be closed up
just as soon as detected, This re-
cent order issued from my depart
ment applies to all classes OF viola
ton Of the liquor law and the sooner
those desiring to act in d crooked
manner in this connection find it out
the better 1t will be for all concerned.
Progress made thus far under the
provisions OF the recent order from
my department is gratifying, but
there seems to be a few persons who
are inclined to run the risk, and
intend that such shall take the con-
sequences, They need not ask
quarter after an open defiance of
every phase of the law, for they will
not get anything more than what
the law itself provides, and that to
the full extent IL can do anything

Mr., Carnegie tells OF the begin

company many years ago by making
from time to time 4O-odd young
partners, who paid for their interest
in the business by their notes, pay
able only out Of the profits of the
business. Great care, Mr., Carnegie
says, was taken to admit workers of
the mechanical department which
had hitherto been neglected by en-
ployers. Speaking further on OF the
combination Of many steel works in
to the one United States Steel Cor
poratlon he says that the problem
presented was not altogether new,
for individual and corporate man
agement have co-eXisted since joint
stock companies were formed The
former had undoubtedly great ad-
vantage over the latter Able men
managing their own works, in COM
petition with large bodies of share

corporate competitors, and did so,

Hale County Herald: Until after
publication last week the Herald was
unable to substantiate the report
that the Santa Fe would extend to
Lubbock. It now develops that a
promoter has promised to build them
the line II they raise him the bonus
asked, and the Lubbock people have
about finished complying with this
requirement. Whether the gentle
man behind the scheme can carry 1t
out or not is a question for time to
solve. 1t seemed SO unreasonable
that the Santa Fe would sanction
two extensions simultaneously that
little credence was at first given to
the report. 1t seems now that they
are doing this very thing. Since the
CONTRACT mas ptch oibhSN wan hNS
book by the promoter property has
scared clear out OF sight. 1t is re-
ported that four or five sections have
been laid off into town lots and the
end Is not yet. A business man went
TO Lubbock to locate and found prop
erty So high that he decided to re-
turn to Planvlew where there are
already railroad facilities. A similar
condition exists at Floydada. Prop
erty has doubled or trebled in a few
These movements seem to
indicate that the Santa Fe appreci-
ates the south plains territory enough
to try to hold It. The extensions are
regarded as the opening of
q new era Of prosperity for the
Plalnvlew country. "a

THE writer is convinced" Mr..
Carnegie says in conclusion, that
this is to be the highly satisfactory
and final solution, The first step
In advance has already come in the
natural progress OF evolution-no
revolution necessary-and II is earn
estly pressed upon the attention OF
the intelligent workingman sand his
leaders, some of whom seem to have
been misled into devoting themselves
to the advocacy of a system, admit
tedly unsuited to our day, which re-
quires an organic change in the re
lations OF society, and indeed in
wolves a complete revolution in the
nature Of man-the task OF a thous-
and years. The experiment of labor
and capital union-workmen-c
ists-has exceeded so far, all expec-
tations. Even the convinced social.
list might. therefore, hail 1t as at
least step in the right direction,
making labor's position better than
before, saying to himself: let the
future bring what it may, a bird in
the hand is often worth a whole flocl,
In the bush. Our socialistic remedy
is for the future; let us not Hrget
this in our dealing with the present.
Such seems to the writer the part
OF wisdom"
