But the woman! Where was she? Where was
the duchess, his companion? The kings glance
swept about him, wild in its eagerness and he
breathed quickly. The roadway was tramped, torn
and cut and furrowed, with blood stains blotching

CHRISTMAS AT THE
CHURCHES OF ROSWELL

All of the churches of Roswell OBJ
served Christmas deliberately. Every
Protestant church had some kind of
an entertainment. either on Christmas

Christmas morning in the form of
three Masses and Benediction. The
Protestant churches all had Christ
mas music and Sunday NOR

Change Lay-over Of Trainmen.

The railroad company has changed
the lay-over OF the trainnent on the
passenger run from Roswell to Carls-
bad. Heretofore the trainmen have
run from Amarillo to Carlsbad and
back to Roswell the next morning be-
fore taking their lay-over, and then
going to Amarillo the following day.
Now h run will be from Amarillo to
Carlsbad and then a lay-over; and
hence from Carlsbad to Amarillo, for
an all night lay-over. The only diff
ference is that it will greatly incon-
veaience tie trainmen living in Ros-
we'll and Will probably cause them to
move to Carlsbad, IL the change is
maintained indefinitely. as It prob
ably will be. Conductors Frank Nc

started the agitation against permit
ting Page to address the teachers, but
the end is not yet in sight, and Ii Is
possible that before the matter is
ended the teachers association may
be split into warning factions. Prof.
Page attempted to pour oil on the
troubled waters by voluntarily with
drawing mis- name from the program,

feeling against Wilson and others VINO

Wilson wrote letters to the state
superintendent of 21 states asking
them If 1t is customary to place ne
groes on the programs of the state
teachers associations in their states,
and IL il is not customary has it eve
been done. In an interview given out
at Alva Wilson declared that some of
the replies to these letters will make
interesting reading matter.

Wilson to at least two OF his letters
