new post offices are being opened in New Mexico, in proportion to the pop ulation, than in any other State or Territory. Not alone are thousands of acres being reclaimed under irriga- tion schemes. but 'dry farmers" are wrestling crops, without irrigation, from lands that heretofore have been regarded as irredeemable desert.
 In the fiscal year of 1908 there were 14.962 homestead entries, cover ing 2,2SS, 704 acres and 970 desert en- tries, covering 162,430 acres. Four fifths of these entries were made by "homesteaders" from other parts of the country-men and women attract ed to the southwest by its fine cli- mate and Its farming possibilities.

 The story of the founding of the City of Mexico is one of the most extraor- dinary tales in history. It happened in 1895. at least 1t began a long cime before that. but was an accomplished fact about 600 years ago.
 In the first place. says the Rosary Magazine. imagine an almost inacces- sible mountain. crowned with a valley at the height of 5000 feet above the level of the sea. In the center of this valley was an immense lake When the Aztecs arrived, led by the priests of the god of war, they found it in the possession of hostile tribes.
 For that reason and because the of the lake where there stood an ele- vation of stones an eagle had been seen devouring 2 serpent, they began the construction of the city on the spot, i'm mediately ever the deepest waters cf the lake. There had long existed prophecy among the AZtecs that their wanderingS would end when they should have reached a place where the priests would behold an eagle resting. On cactus plant devourlng serpent.
 Confident that they had found the spot ordained to be their abiding home, they began to construct rafts of the trunks of trees, covering them with thick layers of earth, upon which they built rude huts of more or less solidity. Groups of dwellings soon began to form themselves in regular order, thus de termining the primitive streets of the new city.
 They also constructed boats and oars of different sizes, useful in peace and war, and. while certain of their num- Der occupied themselves in defending their homes and brethren from the on- slaughts of hostile tribes, others con tlnued to improve and enlarge the new city. Gradually the lake was filled up and terraces arose, one after another, in the place once occupied by the deep waters.

It was begun in 1216 and not completed until 1895, period of 109 years, from which time may be dated the official foundation of Tenoch- titlan, to-day the modern city of Mex. icO

Santa Fe, the ancient captal of the Territory, is one of the most interest ing cities in America. It had been an Indian pueblo at the time of its dis covery and occupation by the Span iards in the latter half of the six teenth century and has remained the seat of government ever since. In 1880 the Indians revolted and drove out the Spaniards, but after fourteen years the latter regained the ascendency and the Spaniards and their descendants. the Mexicans, continued to govern the Territory from Santa Fe until the Americans, under General Kearney, took possession, in 1S46.
 Two-thirds of the present popula- ton of Santa Fe is Mexican. The boys who drive the wood-laden burros from the distant mountains are Mex leans.

Man Money.

The system of atoning for death or bodily injuries inflicted on others by paying damages is as old as the earli- est Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus. The trespasser was always required to make peace with the aggrieyed family of the victim by ''Wer-Geld."
 'Wer" is the ancient German for man. Geld" now, as in the days of Wotan, means money.
 Damages were assessed in accord ance with the rank and wealth of the injured party, and the money was paid over in the presence of the whole community, its acceptance forestallins feuds. Indeed, the recognition of Wer- Geld ("money for the man" killed) by law precluded further bloodshed or other forms of revenge.
 If the slayer was not rich enough to pay the required sum, he turned over to the Injured parties his sons as slaves. If his sons were not sufficient guarantee for the payment of the debt. the slayer himself had to turn bondsman, both the letter and the spirit of the law requiring that the full amount of damage inflicted be recovered by the aggrieved parties.- New York World.

 The Territory of New Mexico, which has been knocking for admission into the sisterhood of States, has witness ed great struggle in the last few years between the old and the new order of things, and the old has been forced to give way. The ancient adobe churches erected by the Spanish friars when the 13 colonies were in their swaddling clothes, still stand. and the old bells that were cast in Spain at the height of that nations glory still call devout worshipers to service. But next to these old churches one Is apt to stand in the shadow of a modern, steam-heated office building. The an-

Calling the Deaf.

''To waken a deaf person who wishes to be called at certain time in the morning Is about the hardest proposi. ton a hotel clerk runs up against. ' said member of that fraternity. "To ring the telephone Is useless, because the man can't hear. Knocking, for the same reason, is futile. Now and then a guest who has lost his hearing suggests that he leave his door open so we can walk right in and shake him. but even if he does appear to be dead game there are so many chances of somebody less guileless than ourselves walking in ahead of us that we can't consent to that simple expedient. It seems to me the man who can patent a device for waking the deaf Is sure of fame and fortune. not to mention the gratitude of the brotherhood of hote, clerks"

ing more than 5.OOO.OOO acres, and Gov. George Curry estimates that New Mexico now has a population of more than 450,O00. In five years Roosevelt County, in the southeastern part of the Territory, which was regarded as hopeless desert a decade ago. has grown from 5000 population to 3O,OOO.
 Not alone is New Mexico being dot ted with homesteads. under private irrigation enterprises and in the ''dry farming districts. where no water can be secured, but the United States government is constructing some of it's greatest reclamation works in the Ter ritOry. The Carlsbad, Hondo and Ele- phant Butte projects. under the recla- nation service, are well under way, and will reclaim over 100000 acres, at a cost of something like S15.000.0O0. These government projects rival in im- portance the work the British govern ment has done in the valley of the Nile. New Mexico also has an arte- sian belt which Is proving a wonder ful source of wealth. In the matter of water supply. Chaves and Eddy .Cogn- ties alone have $50 of these gushing wells, and cultivation under artesian irrigation has reached more than
