Charles W. Gordon, whose picture Is
given above, is agent for the Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Company in Ogdengburg,
N. Y, and resides at Is King street,
that city. In giving testimony regard
ing his own case, Mr.. Gordon recently
made the following statement:
Some time ago, while suffering from
stomach catarrh, was advised to take
Cooper's New Discovery, and did so,
two bottles of the preparation putting
my stomach into good condition. Pre-
vious to my taking the New Discovery
/ could not eat meal without expe-
riencing pain and discomfort after
ward.
II had been in this condition for a
dong time, although l had tried many
different remedies in search of relief.
and at last reached the conclusion that
had exhausted every available re-
source. Cooper's New Discovery was
therefore to me almost a heaven-sent
blessing, and the work of the medi-
cine was so permanent and lasting that
I have had no recurrence of my former
trouble whatever.
Il can eat anything care for with
out noticing any bad effects afterward.
I have recommended Cooper's New
Discovery to many persons of my &C.
quaintance, and it never fails to give
satisfactory results. 1t reaches the seat
of stomach trouble in mighty short
order"
Cooper's New Discovery is sold by
all druggists. If your druggist can
not supply you, we will forward you
the name of druggist in your city
who will. Don't accept something just
as good."-The Cooper Medicine Co.,

Perhaps, If you haven't been initi-

thought of Atlantic City as an Easter
resort We are wont to think of sea-
shore resorts as bleak places in win

the sand stretches and whipping
mournfully the tattered remnants of
last seasons ice cream signs. Surely
no person bent on enjoying an Easter
vacation would go elsewhere than to

that the Gulf stream comes nearer to the coast
off Atlantic City than at any other place nortn

most of the women in the Easter pa
rade wear furs. but as rule the air is
bracing and mild enough to encourage
lengthy constitutionals. Incidentally
It may be remarked that the luxurious
rolling chairs which constitute dis
tinctive feature Of life at Atlantic are
not so well patronized at Easter as In
dog days. Easter weather is of kind
to encourage walking and the chairs
which are abroad at this season are
housed in with glass.
The student of human nature-and
there Is no better place In the world
for such study-instinctively draws
contrasts between the Easter throng
and the summer vacation crowd at At
lantic City. In July and August, when
the city by the sea is entertaining
some 100000 visitors day. this whirl-
pool Of humanity is filled for the most
part with wage earners and salarled
folk and their families who can afford
but one vacation a year and elect to
enjoy 1t here, tarrying beside the sea
for a week or ten days or two weeks.

City Beautiful.

I would recommend to your Hon
orable body that steps be taken NOW
to xtend the beauty and shade OF

planting apon and along the streets

are growing upon the streets, and
those that are to be planted, be plac-
ed under the care of some one whose
duty it hall be to ook after, trim,
protect, and care for the trees and
shade of the City of Roswell; that in
those sections of the city where ii is
possible to supply water, that this be
done at the City's expense, n that
the water be supplied for that pur,
pose, and that parking upon various
streets be encouraged by the City's
furnishing water for the purpose of
tree, grass and Shrub growing in con
nection with Parking, without cost to
the owner. and for that purpose only.
The shade and tree growth OF Ros-
well has don more than any single
Improvement to advance property
values. This scheme carried on
would result in a City beautiful"

thinly clad, poorly fed and worse

But let us sit down and figure
ont the profit and loss. The 800
saloons, with receipts of $4,000 per
annum each, a low estimate, take
from the pockets of the New Mexico
public $~7.2OO.O0O annually. Suppose
these saloons pay an average license
money of $500 into county and city
treasury. This is probably a very fair
estimate. or at best these saloons
pay not to exceed 100000 license
money. Thus they take out of the
communities s7,0OO,0OO more thar
they return in license money. in 9TH
er words, the territory hires these
tax-gatherers' to collect less than a
quarter million dollars and pays them
seven million dollars for their SER
vices. Is this good financial manage
ment? Would any railroad, mercan-
tile or collection agency pay such
large COMMISSIONS for so little SER
vice. And why apply good. practical
business sense in other lines and
make an exception where the saloon
is concerned? Why not apply plain
common sense to that as well, and
let the saloon also stand or fail on
its merits or dement's And were
this large money commission which
the saloon collects the only consider
alton, n only loss, the only extor-
ton, IL might be quietly suffered.
But that is the smallest item. The
saloon robs the home and burns II
down, takes its patrons money and
burns down mis- character, happiness
and life.
And what value shall be put upon
a human life Dan Patch, only a race
horse, is worth more than $780, ZOO.
Is Il extravagant to put a human life
at ten times that sum-, or a million
dollars-if it were your life?
at such fearful cost, now can any
sane person say, that saloons pay?

proposition. why not do away with
