GOVERNMENT SUGGESTS
GOOD ROADS

The government sends out i'll
structions in regard to making
good roads and in the article
says:
1t is important in using grad
er to avoid building up the roads
too much at one time. A road
gradually built up by frequent
use of the grader will last better
than if completed at one opera
ton. The foreman frequently
thinks his road must be high in
the first instance. He piles m
material from ten inches to a
foot in depth only to learn, with
the arrival Of the first rain. that
he has furnished the material
for as many inches of mud. All
material should be brought up
in thin layers, each layer well
puddled and firmly packed by
roller or traffic before the next
is added. A common mistake j
rs to crown too high with the
road machine on a narrow! road

SILVER CITY CONVENTION
Territorial Republicans Never More In
Unison or SirOnser.
SOLOMAN LUNA NATL COMMITTEEMAN

The Republican convention in
Silver City this week was not
only Il success as Il convention,
but ii demonstrates to the people
of New Mexico that the Repub-
lican party of the territory is
united, and stronger than ever
before in its history.
Hon. Isidoro Armijo. of Las
Cruces, one Of the brightest and
strongest native Republicans,
presided as temporary chairman,
and Hon. William Martin, of
Socorro, as permanent chairman.
and the honors were fully de-
served by the public services of
both gentlemen.
The convention unanimously
instructed the delegates to be
elected for Hon. Solomon Luna
for national committeeman.
The following were selected to
represent the party at the nation
| al convention in Chicago:
Delegates, Charles A. Spiess,
San Miguel; I. B. Catron, Santa
Fe; NJ. A. Otero, not credited;
Ii. o. Bursum, Socorro; W. II.
II. Llewellyn, Dona Ana A. B.

The Bernalillo county delega-
tion opposed the naming of Ex-
governor OterO because of his
action in removing number of
the officials Of that county some-
thing more than two years ago.
The excellent condition of the
Republican organization of the
New Mexico Republican party is
undoubtedly due to the wise and
unselfish labors Of Chairman Bur
sum, and the Republicans of the
territory fully appreciate his
efforts in their behalf. 1t ap-
pears to be the sentiment of the
party that he must accept an
other term as chairman, although
he has refused to continue in
office. He is the man for the
place, and his popularity is best
shown by the popular demand
for his retention in the office of
chairman.

Coronets.


1t is mistake to suppose that dukes,
marquises and other noble Britons
sleep in their coronets. In fact, they
never wear them at all except at the
coronation of the sovereign, when they
put on their coronets at the precise mo-
ment when the primate of England
places the crown upon the anointed
brow of the king or queen. And when
a peer or peereSS dies the coronet is
again used at the funeral, being placed
in the coffin or borne on purple cush-
ion behind the hearse by one Of the
attendants. That is the extent to
which the coronet is used according to
the official rules and regulations. But
sometimes they are made to serve 9th
er purposes than those for which they
We're intended. They are made of sill
yer gilt, edged with ermine and lined
inside with purple velvet cap topped
with gold tassel and are quite Orna-
mental baubles. One belonging to a
noble marquis which was sold at auc
ton in London had been cut in half
and arranged to serve as brackets for
candlesticks.

DaffodiI POISONING.

A large number of plants which are
usually looked upon as harmless pos
sess poisonous properties, says the
Dundee Advertiser. Those who are
employed in picking daffodils and mar
cissus frequently suffer severely from
a troublesome skin affection known as
''daffodil poisoning" The most trying
feature of this ailment Is the small
gatherings which form under the fin
ger nails. 1t is said that minute crys-
tails of lime exist in large numbers in
the juice of the stems of the pretty
blooms and that these are responsible
for the poisoning. Regular daffodil
pickers are accustomed to rub their
hands with oil and work tallow in un-
derneath their finger nails before be-
ginning their work. The bulbs Of the
white Roman hyacinth have similar
unpleasant properties.

went to their deaths when they re-
sponded to a fire that ruined the Par
ker building, a twelve-story business
structure occupying the block between
East Eighteenth and Nineteen ST. Gets.
on Fourth avenue.
The monetary loss is estimated at
$5,000,OO0. Fire Commissioner Lantry
and Assistant Fire Chief Binns think
it might reach more than $6.0OO,O0O,
though the general estimate was mil
lion dollars less A. NJ Karaghension,
dealer in antique rugs, probably sus-
tanned the largest individual loss. His
loss is placed at million. The Dit

lost nearly as much. The Judge Pub.

as did the branch. office of Golfers

When We Were All Tenors.

The primitive Inhabitants of Europe
were ali tenors Their descendants Of
the present time are baritones. and flu
ture generations will have semibass
voices. The voice has a tendency to
deepen with age. The tenor of twenty
becomes the baritone of twenty eight
and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured. The negro has a
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races the fair complex
toned man has a higher voice than his
darker skinned brother. The former is
usually a baritone or a tenor, the lat
ter a contralto or bass. 1t is asserted
that tenors are usually Of slender
build. whereas basses are stout, but
there are too many exceptions to such
rule for it to be reliable. The same
remark applies to the statement that
thoughtful men have deep toned voices,
and vice versa. The tones of a voice
are perceptibly higher before than aft
er a meal. for which reason tenors are
generally careful not to sing too soon
after dinner-Pearson's Weekly.

some Animals In Winter.

The ptarmigan. member Of the
grouse family, Is In summer notified
with black and a rich fluffy brown,
but in winter it becomes pure white.
The snowy owl and the snow buntings
that come to us from the far north
have whitish plumage that blends har-
moniously with the prevailing white
ness of the landscape But perhaps
the most interesting example Of all is
the weasel, whose fur in the summer
has peculiarly soft shade of reddish
brown, but in the winter is pure white
except at the tip of the TAIL 1t is
probable that this black point is useful
to it's owner in diverting the attention
of carnivorous bird or of beast of
prey, as the black spot is more readily
seen than the white body of the an
imal. 1t is said, too, that if the tip is
covered with snow the whole weasel
becomes clearly visible and that if the
first snowfall is later than usual it is
claimed by some naturalists that the
color change is delayed accordingly.
The turning white takes place when
most needed.-St. Nicholas.

One Suicide Follows Another.

we'll known in this vicinity, was found
in a buggy four miles west of this
city. A recently discharged revolver
was lying on a seat beside the corpse,
and a bullet hole in the temple bore
testimony as to the nature of the
death. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict Of suicide. Miss Carrie Mad

dent of Waupaca, committed suicide
in that city last week. Gullickson and
the girl are said to have been friends.

WAYS of Hunting.

Devastating among the Dogrib In
dams is managed by skillful counter
felt of the animal. Two hunters walk
together-the man behind with bent
body, the one in front carrying a
stag's head. The legs of the men
serve very well for the fore and hind
legs of the animal In this way the
hunters get almost in the midst of a
herd of deer before the creatures are
aware Of danger.
The ostrich is hunted in a similar
way by the bushmen of South Africa,
and the Eskimos sometimes come to
close quarters with seals by dressing
themselves in sealskins and dextarOus-

and "fopping" so characteristic of the
animal.
