SUNSHINE NOT GOOD FOR ALL
mate Like That of the Amer can Northwest.

Charles E. Woodruff of Manila, P. l., physical degeneration that is found to occur in north European races when they settle in the dry, bright atmos phere of the American northwest. Although the first generation does well, the second one is feeble, easily attacked by tuberculosis and other chronic diseases, and the families die out in a few generations. The bru- nette races do well in bright sunshine. because they are accustomed to it, while the blondes are made nervous by it. But it is the northern blonde races that give us the strong brains that we need to perpetuate our na tion, and these do not come from the brunette races of the south. It is i'm portant for us to preserve these blonde types, and to that end it is necessary that physicians should ad- wise them to keep from the influences that injure then, The best Aryan I blood is being wasted from our na- tion at present. Scandinavian coloni- zation is impossible in the tropics. The average brain weight and intelli- gerce increase as we go north in Eu- rope, and this brain weight does count We should favor the emigra. | ton of these northern races and pre- serve them as far as possible West ern and southern Alaska furnish a climate that Is congenial to them As l hoa {& {, also of value, the cool, damp air being helpful and quieting to the nervous system.

A Soldier Yarn.

Sir William Arbuckle is 6 capital speaker. a quality which has made him exceedingly popular at society dinners. He once told an amusing story, at an annual South African din ner, about Sir Harry Smith, who, in days gone by, was commandant and governor at the Cape. The supply from home, and necessaries of all kinds for the soldiers, was generally sadly deficient, and the men were oft en in pitiable plight in the way of clothing. There was, consequently, much discontent So Sir Harry had them on parade. said some pleasant things to them, complimented them on their soldierly appearance, told them what splendid fellows they were, talked of the service they had seen together, and so forth. When he had finished. an old sergeant stepped for ward, saluted, and remarked: Thank you Sir Arry. beg pardon, Sir 'Arry, but We don't want no gammon, we want boots.'

COUNTS PRICE OF PROGRESS
Writer Considers Race Has oaic Highly for Development cf
 Past Century.

What, then, let us ask, has been the price of this century of unprece- dented progress? To begin with, we have grown distrustful of enthusiasm and have become somewhat cynical and superficial withal We skim the surface of life without time to make our impressions our own. We are on the way to become spiritually m povershed people. somewhat lacking
 in the generous qualities which can sustain a great friendship or a splen' did dream We are ultra-sophisticate yet easily deluded. In the place or rest, appreciation, we have acquired unrest We are like men who, while following the chase, have forgotten what is the quarry. If it is happiness we are pursuing. who knows but what she has doubled on her tracks and IS now behind us! Yet we strain breath lessly forward, never pausing to ask ITO what purpose?"
 Having become cogs in the great machine that we ourselves have build ed, how are we to snatch opportunity for thought, for contemplation, for the leisurely savoring of life, amid the ceaseless whirring of the wheels? Is mediocrity to be the price the race must pay for it's civilization? The modern schedule leaves no time for the secretion of those by-products ol the soul which give joy and distinc- ton to life. If the race continues to cut itself off more and more from this sustaining communion. where at last will we turn for leaders, or even for men?-W. c. Roberts, in Crafts man.

THE KILLING LUST IN HUMANS
Man Is Easily the Most Bloodthirsty of All the Animals of the
 World.

In New Liskeard recently an owl perched itself on the peak of busi ness block as the crimson streaks of the dawn appeared, and wrapped in its huff of feathers, settled itself in com fort to enjoy the drowsy hours of day light. It was the picture of comfort and pretty as a picture, cozy, warm in the winters cold, inoffensive and harm less.
 But the owl was in fools paradise. It had lain down with the tiger. It was in the midst of the wolves. The bushy little ball of feathers had fallen unawares into the haunts of he fercest and most bloodthirsty of the worlds animals.
 The sleeping bird was no sooner de- scried than the human wolves set up a -yap. Men hurried off for their kill ing machines, and in a few minutes a battery of riflemen were at work pumping death into the spark of life In the bundle of feathers. After awhile one Of them hit it, and then the heroes were satisfied. They went home with their guns. and the boys exhibited the carcass.
 Poor dead little bit of useless car rion. The boys eyes sparkled with excitement
 There is deal of the savage left in the human.-Cobalt Citizen

THE SOUND SLEEP OF GOOD
 HEALTH.

The restorative power of sound sleep cannot be over estimated and any ailment that prevents it is a menace to health. J. L. Southers, Eau Claire, Wis, says: For a long time I have been unable to sleep soundly nights, because of pains across my back and osreness of my kidneys. My appetite was very poor and my gen eral condition was much run down. l have been taking Foley's Kidney Pills but a short time and now sleep as sound as rock. I eat and enjoy my meals, and my general condition is greatly improved. I can honestly recommend Foley's Kidney Pills, as I know they have cured me-" For sale by Burr Walthall

My back was so weak and painful that for weeks I could not straighten. often had dizzy spells and at such times had to catch hold of something to keep from falling. My feet and ankles sometimes swelled to nearly twice their natural size, and l was also bothered by frequent desire to- pass the kidney secretions. l was treated by six physicians, but none of them seemed to understand my case. I felt myself sinking lower and lower every day and became alarmed. I had about given up hope of ever be- ing cured when a friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. l did SO. and the results of their use were far beyond my expectations. My health improved rapidly and today 1 have no, symptom of kidney complaint what ever"

WAS NOT A GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Whisky Drinkers Experiment with odorous Vegetable Brought "CaII"
 from EmpIoyer

Elihu Root, at the annual dinner of the International Young Mems Chris. tian association in New York last month. said that evil courses were more difficult to conceal than men generally believed.
 Take the case" said MT. Root, with a smile, of old John Bodewin. John was lawyers confidential clerk, and he had the pernicious habit of going to neighboring saloon every morn ing at Il and taking a small glass of whisky. He was not proud of this habit; hence, after the whisky. he al ways took clove.
 But one morning 1t happened that there were no cloves on the bar, and John, having considered the matter, swallowed a small raw onion from the free lunch tray. That would destroy the tell-tale whisky odor, no doubt. as well as the clove had always done, and. so thinking, he returned to his desk
 Tt was double desk. At it he and his employer sat face to face. John, on his return, was soon aware that his employer noticed something. The mans nostrils quivered and he shifted and finally, with a grimace of dis gust, he broke out:
 Look here, John, I've stood whisky and clove for l9 years but I draw the line at whisky and onion.'"

Lake Chad, in the desert of Sahara will be investigated by an expedition which is soon to set out Recent ex plorers have signally failed to agree as to the shape and size of this sheet of water. Apparently the lake is di vided into two by a belt of islands and ready swamp land, but. whereas the maps of the French explorers show an open channel across this belt, late expedition has declared it impossible.

children of the town with the clothes
which they need and will make q

ferred with Prof. ]. H Wagner, super
intendent of the public schools, and
he has asked all of the teachers in
the city to make list OF the children

Las Cruces Road Boosters
Plan Meeting for Mon
day Night.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Dec. 3.-Vernon
L. Sullivan, territorial engineer, ac-
companied by J. P Erwin, territorial
commissioner of public lands, will pc
in Las Cruces on Monday from Sarta
Fe to confer with Dona Ana county
people regarding good roaQs and the
Improvement OF the existing roads.
These two. in connection with gov
ernor Mills. compose the good roads
committee for the territory, and what
they recommend will undoubtedly be
done.
Plans are now being made to have
Mr. Sullivan and Mr.. erwin met at
the train on Monday morning by a
committee Of citizens Who will go to
Anthony with them. At Anthony the
party will be met with carriages and
brought over the county road to Las
Cruces This is being done in order
TO show that the Ell Paso-Las Cruees
road needs a lot of improving.
These men are coming here at the
Invitation Of a committee appointed
as a good roads committee, and COM
posed Of W. A. Sutherland, w E Car
rison. John Barncastle Isr. ]. c. eden
and John c. McNary- Ia he evening
there will be a smoker az the Eiks
club. to which all the citizens are in
vited, and at which there will be
speeches by local men and by proini-
nent men from Ell Paso.
The Las Cruces committee has sent
invitations to the following FL i'aso-
ans: Felix Martinez, judge 4. s. Eylar,
John A. Happier, 9. Y. Kline, judge
J. NJ Goggin, lack Cobb, D. NJ Payne.
w s. Clayton, r. f. Burgess, repre-
sentatives from TIE Herald and the
Times. and number of others
1t is the intention to have :he
smoker an informal affair, at whiez
all present can express their views,
but at the same time to have the most
interested people in the vicinity give
the main talks. Inasmuch as Ell Paso
has already finished the road from FL
Paso to Anthony, it has been though mt
best to have an expression Of opinion
from. those who helped to start the
road in order that the committee from
Santa Fe may understand that New
Mexico is getting cooperation from IL
Paso.
In addition to the trip from Anthony
to Las Cruces, it is the intention Of
the Las Cruces people to take the com
mittee over the Alameda road in order
to show what can be done with a lit
tie expenditure of money along the
line of really good highways. 1t lis
hoped that the men invited from Ell
so.win make it a point to be here
on Monday.
