In the handling of tuberculosis among

the medical fraternity is handicapped
by social conditions which form an eff

THE ENGAGEMENT
By Viggo Toepfer.

A BEAUTIFUL evening in July,
~ just as dusk was falling, Prof
L = Jean Didelot and his daugh-
ter Angelique were sitting in their
plain little dining room They had
almost finished their dinner, but ha
! not lit the lamp.
The professor, who was in the habit
of going early to bed, always had his
dinner at g. Then his Daughter read
aloud to him for an hour and at ne
slept as soundly as a child.
The room was rather a study THAI
dining room, for the walls were
covered with BOOKS from floor to cell
ing. On the oak shelves were rare
stones, minerals and petrified animals.
The window looked upon "JardI1
deS Plantes," ana as the apatrmeI l
was on the sixth floor. the treetops
almost reached il. Beyond them one
could see the whole panorama OF
Paris, bathed in the light of the set
ting sun. On the hill far away were
the white walls of the beautiful
church of Sacre Occur, looking like a
Byzantine palace. reaching into the
clouds.
-Angelique arose and went to a corner
of the room.
She was tall and slender. and as she
passed the window the light fell upon
her heavy golden hair and through
the transparent sleeves one could see
her beautif II round arms.
She picked up a book and again sat
down at TIL table.
Prof Didclot lit his pipe. the only
pipe he SMOKED all day. To have
smoked before inner would have been
! luxury he could not think of.

servant, entered and said to Angelique:

Louise had been in the house for
more than ) years and had brought
up Angelique. She was at the same
time housekeeper and cook, and had
never received any wages.
Her husband had left her few
thousand francs, and this money she
| had used to pay for her sons, Jacques
Bonvalet's, education. He was mod

made an important geological discoN

To 80 out of every 100 people. the
militia warrants represent a very vague
claim to public funds, claim that has
neither legal nor moral foundation.
In their inception the militia war
rants represented payment for services
rendered and supplies furnished dur
ing a time of need and stress when
ordinary, every day prices did not
furnish an adequite measure of value.
1t was in the days that Gen. Sibley
with his Texans swept into New Mex
leo and carried everything before him;
that Gen. Candy. the federal command
err, urged governor Conley to issue a
call for emergency volunteers so that
the southwest might be saved to the
union There were no federal and no
territorial funds available to pay or
even equip these emergency men.
The situation was much the same as
when Lee invaded Pennsylvania and
emergency men were called out by
that state and served from 80 to 90
days and then mustered out. There
was a response to the call of governor
Conley. The native people came for
ward, and furnishing their own horses
their own equipment their own SUBJ
sistence marched to Valverde near
Fort Craig, Socorro county. there to
be overwhelmed by the Texans and to
be scattered. losing their mounts their
equipment, their everything.
1t was soon afterwards that the
militia warrants had their inception.
New Mexico was too poor to reimburse
these men for their losses or for their
time; in fact, it was a debt that was
owing by the United States rather than
by the territory. although the terri
tory was in the first place responsible
for it, The militia warrants were
issued in satisfaction of those claims,
and later, also. for claims arising from
the several indian wars in which New
Mexico troops were organized to fight
tho Red Skins.

In 1880, 1egiSla tive effort was
made to audit and pay these warrants.
The territorial auditor and the adju-
tant general examined such as were
presented and the governor was sup
posed to cOuntersign them. A law
was passed. that as soon as there was
an unappropriated surplus of $4,000 or
more in the territoriay treasury that.
such surplus in excess of $4,000 should
be available for the payment OF such
warrants as had been properly audited
and approved 1t is understood, that
many warrants were audited at that
time but that governor Ross did not
countersign them. In 1885, during thu
Geronimo raids, another batch OF $751;
600 in militia warrants was issued II,
Grant and nearby counties in payment
Of supplies and for. services rendered
because no cash was available for the
troops or they were too far. distant

This is then, the inception or origin
of the militia warrants 1t can hardly
be said that their origin was fraudu-
lent or even invalid, or. considering the
times. illegal Many other states re-
sorted to similar emergency measures
and what is more, the securities based
on them, have been paid. either by
