BROUGHT Down the House.

On one occasion, when Arthur Rob-
erts. the English actor. was perform
ing the part of Captain Crosstree in
the burlesque of BLACK Eyed Susan
at Glasgow he converted an awkward
contretemps into a hit. In one of the
scenes Crosstree entered supposed to
be inebriated and staggered about the
stage. In doing so Mr.. Roberts ACCT
dentaIly came in contact with the
scenery of the inn. bringing the whole
set down. The curtain had to be low

came to the front and said. Ladies
and gentlemen. you see when we come

RELIGION In Holland.

The following incident was told me
by Lecky in somewhat whimsical illus
tration of his belief that it religion
were to die out of all other European
nations it would still survive in Hol-
land: A Dutch peasant was in sore
straits about the impossibility Of max
ing his hens observe Sunday. He came
to his pastor with present of eggs.
He regretted. he said, that he could
not prevent his hens from laying these
on the Sabbath. but he made what
amends he could by giving them to
Gods minister that they might be
handed over to the poor and infirm.-

A Lone Felt Want.

An American once went to Windsor
castle and insisted upon seeing Queen
Victoria. He was told that it was
quite impossible. as an audience with
the queen could be had only by ap-
pointment. Still he persisted, and then
they told him f1atfooted that before
seeing the queen he must state the OBJ
ject of his visit. He said he wanted
to show her new piece OF furniture.
a throne bed-a perfect throne by day
and a perfect bed by night.

Turkeys Unit of Value.

In Turkey the unit of value is the
piastre. which is divided into 40 paras,
while the para is divided into aspes.
AS the piastre is worth only IA cents.
the para is worth a little more than a
tenth of a cent. and an aspe is worth
a trife over one twenty-seventh Of a
cent. When an American in Turkey
wants to feel rich he goes forth and
buys some 200 aspes. which be

Four Kinds of Pupils.

The Talmud says there are four
Kinds OF pupils-the sponge and the
funnel. the strainer and the sieve. The
sponge is he who taketh up every
thing. and the funnel is he who taketh
in at this ear and letteth out at that;
the strainer is he that letteth go the
wine and retaineth the dross, and the
sieve is he that letteth go the bran and
retaineth the fine -four. The student
who begins at least to wish to belong
to the last named class will not have
been sent to college in vain.

"A safe index of the desirability of a

ness conditions of the towns located

Country are wide-awake, eager to tell
you of their merits and they have their
points of excellence and stand ready to
produce proof of their claims.
Big Springs has population of 5000
an increase of 800 per cent in FIVE
years. 1t has $4,000 high school, ward
school and an enrolment of 772 pupils.
The growth of the live, progressive
towns in this district is without pre-

located at Big Springs. Other important
railroad enterprises are ON foot. Cold

will be sold according to location, the price
being based on nearness to the center of
town.
You may ask why we are offering any of
these lots at SIS each when the prices of
the others are held at $50 to $500 each
The reason is to start things off with
rush. A great many people are wanting
to locate there and this will enable us to
have some very desirable businesses repre-
sented when the grand opening occurs.
The lots unsold are limited. They are
going like hot cakes. The prices on lots
remaining unsold will be advanced inn
mediately after the official opening. Quick
action is imperative if you want to get in
on the ground floor basis OF S35 per lot.

All Aboard for the Greatest Country Under the Sun
With SQASH. Tile EMPIRE BUILDER

We are offering to Homeseekers, In
vestors and Spectators, the greatest
cheap land opportunity of the century.
In comparison with our offers of beat
tiful farms in rich South Plains of Texas
(out of the far-famed 100000 acre Big
Springs Ranch recently purchased by
us) all other land propositions dwindle
into insignifcance. Judged by the stand
ard of land values in the great Missis-
sippi Valley States, we ought to ask FIVE
to ten times more than we do for these
fertile farms. Considering the actual
crop yields from exactly the same kind
of land we are selling, we are almost
giving these farms away,

The rapidly with which this rich
farming land is going is the best evil
dence that it is all and more than is
claimed for it. When an Ohio, Indiana
or Illinois farmer sets eyes on this prop
erty, he knows that it is really worth ten
times its present price You can buy
the same kind of land, capable of pro-
ducing the same yields, at $3.50 to SIS

It is because you will find the facts
exactly as we state, that we offer to take
you to see for yourself and then decide
whether to buy or not to buy.
Abundance of pure, sweet water is as

ARIZONA MILITIA WILL
 SHOOT AT HUACHUCA

This years shooting tournament of the Arizona militia will take place at the military range of Fort Huachuca. advices to this effect being received yesterday by Captain Coykezdal of Co. E. of Prescott. Until the receipt of this order from the adjutant gen erai at Phoenix, the impression pre- vailed that Camp Brodie would again be chosen. Its localti9n Is more cen tral than going to the line of Mexico, which will be an inconvenience for many companies in north and in cen traI Arizona. The Camp Brodie range is said to be the best in the territory, and has lately been inspected. In ad- dition to that It is the permanent range of the United States service, and is pronounced by all authorities on firing duties the equal of any in the whole country from the scores made in recent shoots. Three men will probably qualify for the southern event, among them Captain Coykez dall. Sergeant Rodenburg, and Private Happ, with Corporal McNabb a possi bility. When the shoot closes in the south twelve men will go to camp Per ". Ohio, where the big national shoot takes place in August.
