BIG CRIMINALS.

There seem to be grades among
criminals, as well as grades in So
ciety. We have the upper-tens
among the criminal class that seem
to think it a disgrace to them to have
to put on stripes and go to work
among the lowgrade criminals. We
can not see why any special distinc-
ton is ever made, but we have a case
in mind where bank embezzler was
given job of bookkeeping and not
required to don the stripes. We are
sorry for any one who falls into the
hands of the law because of his mis-
doing and has to be punished, but if
the punishment is deserved let him
assume the stripes and fare Just as
any other prisoner should fare. If
in delicate state of health he should
not be unnecessarily exposed to foul
weather. All prisoners should be
kindly treated, but special favors
should be avoided as far as possible.
Intellectual criminals deserve severer
punishment than do the ignorant and
unlettered, for they ought to know
better. Crime is crime whether COM
nitted by an educated or an unedu-
Gated man, therefore, deal with the
criminal in proportion to the crime
committed.-Searcy (Ark.) News
and Union Educator.

which the old man made into cruel
over a fire and some aged looking
scraps of bacon. The old man was
all but naked, barring few scraps of
clothing, and the child was wrapped
in untanned goat skins. She seem
ed bright little thing, though plain
ly showing the result of her squalid
life, and will be given a good home
and proper care by the society.
Amongst the other families we found
many children of school age grow
ing up in the same condition with
out education or the ordinary neces-
stiles of life. Steps will be taken at
once to have these children sent to
school under the compulsory educa-
ton law and conditions, if possible,
are to be considerably ameliorated in
that district. The people of Carls-
bad are taking a great interest in the
matter and offered me their cordial
cooperation, officials and citizens
alike, in rescuing this little girl"

READY FOR THE SUMMER
BOARDER.

The dignified president of a we'll
known and fourishing New England
college, in his moments Of relaxation.
tells the following story at his own
expense:
One summer some years ago he
spent vacation of several weeks at
a farmhouse in a Maine town. The
next season he received a letter from
his former boarding mistress in
Quiring if he would like to return.
In reply he stated that he would
be very glad to pass another summer
vacation with her, provided some
needed changes we're made about the
place.
First" wrote the college presi-
dent, your maid Mary is persona
non grata, being anything but neat
and orderly in her ways, and if she
is still with you I trust you will at
least not allow her to wait on my
table.
Secondly, I would suggest that
the sanitary conditions on your
place would be greatly improved if
the pigsty were moved back a few
rods farther from the house or done
away with altogether.
Il will wait until l hear from you
before deciding about coming"
The somewhat peculiar college
president was treasured by the re-
ceipt of the following reply:
MARY has went. We hain't had
no hogs on the place since you was
here last summer. Be sure and
come. Judges Library.

205 e. 7th St., Roswell, N. M.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. 9.-In
the most abject poverty, with barely
enough tatters to cover their naked
ness, Americans are living in the
foothills of the Guadalupe Mountains
west of Carlsbad, Eddy county, amid
filth and sQualor that would make
the crudest inhabitant of the Tennes-
see wilderness look favored in COM
parison, according to Dr. Charles E.
Lukens, superintendent of the Chill
drpn'c Hnron Gnoin+xy Of
who returned yesterday after a trip
of Investigation into this country.
While on this trip DR.. Lukens rescued
from her shocking surroundings
little twelve-year-old girl dressed in
the rough skins Of goats, and will
provide through the society home
for the waif, who lived alone in a
dirty hut with her aged father, the
latter being dressed when found, en-
tirely in torn old coat which would
hardly hang upon him and a pair of
trousers reduced to ribbons which
did not come to the knees. These
two garments were all the old man
owned, it is said, his legs and feet be-
ing bare in spite of the GOODNESS of
the season.
1.-THE attention of the society was
hrst called to the matter by the Eddy
county grand jury, which included
the case in it's report.
''It was currently reported that
wild girl who dressed in the skins
of animals roamed the mountains,
this story leading to further revela-
tions of conditions in the foothills
which led the grand jury to take cog
nizance of the matter. Dr.. Lukens
made his trip to the Guadalupe ac-
companied by deputy sheriff, the
county officials extending every aid
in the investigation. The results, to-
Quote DR.. Lukens, were appalling
We found a number of families,
said DR.. Lukens last night, living
amid conditions far worse than the
worst found in the remotest noun
tain country of the Alleghenies. The
hut where we found the little girl
was filthy howell, with no floor, no
windows, no cooking utensils ex-
cept a few old tin lids, and practical

TOWN VISITED BY
DISASTROUS FIRE
Last Saturday Morning About
Two O'clock. Four Build
ings DESTROYED

The town Of Pocahontas was
visited by a disastrous fire last
Saturday morning about two o'clock
which consumed four buildings and
most of the contents, on the square
across from Spinnenweber & Peters
livery barn. The origin of the fire
is unknown and the loss will aggre-
gate at least $4,000 which is partly
covered by insurance. The build
lngs destroyed were those in which
was located Park d Fry's marble
works, Rush q DORIS butcher shop,
a shoe shop and the building occu-
pied by Mrs. Wright. The fire
had gained such a headway when
discovered that it was impossible to
check the flames, although large
number of citizens responded to the
alarm.
