Names Please? We Want
Proof.

This week couple of young
sports returned to Deming from a
visit 10 California. They rode in
to town on n passenger train, and
probably told their friends what a
fine time they had, and what a ted
ious trip 1t was on a Pullman from
Los Angeles TO Dcming, and the
bluff probably went. AS a matter
of fact the young bloods shipped
their trunks from Los Angeles to
Lordsburg by express and rode the
rods and bumpers of freight trains
from Los Angeles here. After their
arrival here, they brushed the dust
of their clothes, got their trunks
out of the express office, bought
tickets for Deming, checked their
trunks, and went into the Windmill
City in style. Guess it's all right
and no one is loser except the s. p,
which is out the price of a couple Of
tickets from Los Angeles to Lords.

We have been talking week after
week about the purity, we might
say the immaculate purity, Of the
water so inexhaustible in the Dem
ing country, and now we have the
cheering testimony from the Misses
Nina and Anna Clark, who have
been on a delightful tour of the
Old World that no where in all their
travels in the Orient did they ever
find water of the rare purity that
underlies the Deming country.
They first touched European
shores at Gibraltar, going from
there to Italy, Switzerland, the Ger
man Empire, France, Great Britain
and Ireland. While in Bavaria they
witnessed a complete rendition Of
the Passion Play, which lasts a
whole day, with an intermission of
two hours at noon.
They spent all the time they de-
sired to in each country visited. but
not in one Of them did they find
water as Immediately pure as in
their old home town. We are
especially gratiiied at knowing this,
as il adds more weight to our as
sertion that we have in the Dcming
country the purest water in the
world
And the same statement will hold

Christianity on Ice.

A subscriber encloses the follow
ing for publication:
DR.. Madison c. Peters, in his SER
mon last evening in the First Con-
gregational Church, declared that
too many churches are serving
Christianity on ice, and that sinners
catch the chills. He said there is
nothing this cold world wants so
much as sympathy. He told the
story of the man who fell into the
river in the winter time. Another
rushed to the scene with a plank
and, not stopping to look, he gave
him the icy end. The man in the
river tried in vain to get hold of it,
his hands slipping again and again,
when he exclaimed; For Gods
sake, give me the other end of the
plank" :"
I'VE have long enough put up Ia
the sinner the icy end of the plank;
il is time that we turned the other
end, or better still, give the men
who need our help the hand" said
DIR. Peters. 1T is not the touch OF
the glove, hut a warm heart in thc
hand given to lift that will wiz

conservation is not humming poetic
sentiment, regeneration is no milk
