Time and again lately complaints
nave come to me about bows disturb
ing public worship. defacing and in
juring property, purloining refresh
ments from houses where evening
parties are being enjoyed. and fright
ening women and young girls, and
matters have reached such a stage
mat warnings to the boys are no
longer effective and we propose to
take more drastic measures from now
on, continued the chief of police.
Several nights lately from six to
htteen boys, ranging in ages from Z
TO 20, have congregated on the IL
nrary lawn, damaged the lawn seri-
ously, deported themselves in dis
orderly manner OF the steps and por-
tico of the building. knocked on the
windows, disturbed the people read
ing the library. frightened little girls

refused to pay heed to requests and
warnings made by the librarian.
On Tuesday night Chief of Police
ONeil scattered a big bunch of these
Juvenile ruffans who had completely
taken possession of the library
grounds.
1t is also known that a number

The work of sneaking into back
porches or kitchens of homes where
parties are being given and stealing
misunderstanding is the proper
word in this case-has been more fla-
grant and extensive of late than ever
before. This particular piece of work
is downright thievery and the boys
should be dealt with as youthful
thieves. On one occasion within the
last few days gang of these youth
full thieves broke into the window of
kitchen and stole the refreshments
Actions such as detailed above and
many other disgraceful and deplora-
BILE deeds perpetrated by boys who are
permitted to wander about on the
streets at night. have been reported
Chief O'Neil has the names of num-
her of the offenders.
Parents who are allowing their
boys to wander around at night and
engage in such work are warned by
Chief .O'Neil to control their children
as they should be controlled in the
evenings If they do not want the
boys brought into the Juvenile court
From now on all such offenders
will be taken into custody and dealt
with according to law, and such ac-
tion on the part of the officers should
and doubtless will receive the ap-
proval of all citizens who deplore
ruffianism and vandalism.

The company formerly did busi-
ness in the state but under the ruling

forced to suspend operations in Colo

in the state. The present attorney
general rules that there is nothing
to prevent a foreign mutual company

HIS CASE
FALLS DOWN

III Mr.. James w. Bucklin does not
prepare the charter that he wants the
city to have with more care and sue
cess than he prepared his suit against
Henry Grubbs, the constable, which
was heard in the district court today,
woe be unto the charter Mr.. Buck
lin Is endeavoring to force the con-
stable to pay to him the sum of SS5
which Bucklin claims that the con-
stable was not entitled to in spite of
the fact that he was simply paid by
regular custodian fee while in charge
of "A stock of goods that was located
in one of Mr.. Bucklin's buildings.
The firm had failed and the con-
stable was acting under the orders of
the court. was allowed his fees by
the court and was paid out of the
proceeds of the sale. 1t was to Mr..
Bucklin's interest that the constable
watch over the stock as Mr.. Bucklin's
only chance to get a large amount of
back rent was involved in the pro-
lection and sale of the stock. Yet
he wants Grubbs to come across with
all but 50 of Grubbs' custodian fees.
After the jury had been selected in
the district court today it was appar-
ent that Mr.. Bucklin's case, which he
was conducting himself was not well
grounded. After a good deal OF
discussion the court declared that
Mr.. Bucklin's case had no standing
and went after the case in no uncer-
tain manner. Finally the court al
lowed Mr.. BuclSlin ten days in which
to amend the complaint but informed
the gentleman that he must pay all
costs up to this time. That Grubbs

MAILING 1T FAST.

Once, when l was a little school
girl, a visitor said something in a
speech he made to us which I shall
never forget
Suppose" said he, you were
building house, and instead of put
ting the shingles and weatherboards
on with nails, you fastened them in
place with tacks. 1t would be a fool
ish way to work, would it not? For
the first high wind would send them
flying off in all directions. None of
you would do so silly a thing as that,
| am sure. But how are you doing
your school work day by day? Are
you just lacking the lessons on so
they will stay long enough for the
recitation and then drop off your
memory, or are you mailing them
fast, so that they will stay on for life
and become good, sound part of
your education ?''-King's Own.

LOCE-ANG-EL-ESS

Every visitor to Southern Califor-
mia Is predestined to tussle with the
pronunciation of the name in the
center of our Italy. Mr.. G. F. Lum-
mis-, editor of Out West and public
librarian of Los Angeles, is the most
redoubtable champion of the correct
pronunciation. He has written to
several newspapers in an effort to SET
people straight. Mr.. Lummis says
that ''it is curious predicament
when the very inhabitants of an
American city call it's name in nc
less than twelve different ways, OF
which eleven are wrong and five are
barbarous. This unhappy and prob
ably unique distinction belongs to
Los Angeles, Cal. Yet it is old
enough to be known better. It was
properly pronounced for more than
a century before the new immigra-
ton set up so tall Tower of Bah
ell" The following local jingle, the
librarian says, covers the case rea-
sonably we'll:
1.-THE lady would remind you, please
Her name is not Lost Angie Lees,
Nor Angie anything whatever.
She hopes her friends will be sc
clever
To share her fit historic pride
The G shall not be jellified;

YES
And all about Loce-ang-el-ess."

You are my pupil now, and we are

First of all. the ocean Is your friend.

fish making a knot of itself? The
water will not support you if you tie
yourself in knot.
Lie down on your back here on
the sand; straighten your body like
an arrow; raise your chin as high as
possible. In this position the ocean
will float any human body almost
any length of time. Why? Because
every square inch of your body sur

That's What the People Of Luna

SiOherS lueSuay.
Luna county took a big step in
advance at the special election
Tuesday, when by practically a
unanimous vote, she gave her
county commissioners good and
lawful authority to sell bonds
and erect a fine court house, a
county building of which we may
all be proud, and upon site that
will command the attention of
all travellers on any of our great
lines of railways.
The voters acted wisely. They
said, by Their ballots: Luna
couny must go ahead, not back
ward. She must take her pace
among the great counties of New
Mexico and be a prominent factor
in public affairs"
The city vote was a sample Of
what the people Of the whole
county wanted. The total city
vote cast was 30S, only five of
which were cast against the
bonds and only eight against the
chosen site.
Commissioners KilIinger and
Hubbard, assisted by the court
house committee, c. l.. Baker,
chairman; Jack Dymond, secre-
tary; and DR.. R. NJ. Steed, treas
urer, did noble service in the
