My Evening Prayer.
If I have wounded any soul today,
II have caused one foot to go astray,
If have walked in my own wilful way
Good Lord, forgive!
II I have uttered idle words or vain
If have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself should suffer through the
strain
Good Lord, forgive!
If have craved for joys that are not
mine,
If I have let my hayward heart replne
Dwelling on things of earth, not things
Divine
Good Lord, forgive!
II have been perverse, or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in thy fold,
When thou hast given me some part to
hold
Good Lord, forgive!
Forgive the sins have confessed to
thee,
Forgive the secret sins I do not see,
That which l know not, Father, teach
thou me
Help me to live.
&c. Maud Battersby in Kansas City

There are hundreds of farmers in

after it is cleared, in some localities
will not be worth on the market
over $40 to $35 per acre, and in
others from $40 to 500 per acre,
and when it is cleared will only pro-
duce the ordinary crop of small
grains and vegetables. If these far

could do with stump land in this

ADJUSTMENTS
BILLY CLIFFoRD's SHOW.

Ell Pasoans expected something real
~ good at the Ell PasO theater Sunday
highland they got it.
Billy Clifford and his bunch of broil-
ers (and others) in merry musical
feast" proved all that was expected
and more.
1t is not the biggest show that has
been to FL Paso this year, and it is
not one to make you go home and
study over the problem it presents,
but it effervesces like good wine and
the more you get of it the more you
want. 1t is a dainty, enjoyable per-
Torrance. There is nothing heavy
about it; everything is light and airy
and good. The songs are musical
and whistly, the costumes are pretty
yes, more than pretty-and the girls
are mostly all pretty snd mostly all
have pretty good voices.
Clifford himself does a speciality in
the last act-that school teacher stunt
that is we'll worth the price of ad-
mission, but his pantomime dance with
the little soubret-Marguerite Devon
is just about as good, though of an
entirely different character to his side
splitting stunt with the big hat when
he plays teacher and acts so foolish,
but so funny
There is some plot to the play, but
not enough TO hurt: IL is made up
merely TO entertain, not TO instruct,
and you will like everybody from jolly
Billy Clifford down to the girl with
the mans voice who makes everybody
laugh when she sings Does Anybody
Here Want a KISS" and then makes
them applaud wildly when she sings
the italian song and does the clever
little act with the SNOWFALL girls.
If you have crouch and want to
lose 1t, or if you are feeling good
and want to feel better, get a ticket
and get down close to the front to-
night, for they are going to do it all
over again. For real entertainment,
it's about the best thing the FL Paso
theater has had this year-even if it
isn't the biggest.

show what they could do. Judging
from the applause of the audiences,
they showed it in a satisfactory man
ner. Bittner in the role of Father
stands out easily as the star of the
cast and a very clever one. too. The
company comes TO FL Paso with rec
ord of from six TO so weeks in other
towns and the management promises
to remain here as long as the people
show that they want it. From the
way they took 10 it Sunday, Bittner's
company is doubtless booked for a
long stay IN FL Paso. too The musical
program rendered by the orchestra is
a feature not to be overlooked

ANOTHER BIG DAM
BUILDING ON NAZAS
Lower Laguna Farmers to
Get Largely Increased
Water Distribution
Shortly.

Torreon Mexico, Dec. 26.-AS a result
of the new distribution of the waters of
the Rio Nazas, important improvements
are being made by the planters along
the lower Nazas. Early this year a
contract was given by the firm of Gull
lerrno Purcell for a construction of an
immense dam at San Marcos on new
principles and the successful completion
of the contract by Federico Wulff has
now resulted in another large contract
being awarded, work on which has just
begun.
The projected future distribution of
the waters of the NaZas will benefit
the lower planters, as they will receive
Sc percent Of the entire flow instead of
for years before, the dividing line being
the Torreon dam. For the past 8 years
the average yearly flow has been $780,
600, 900 litres, of which 500, 600, 900 have
gone to the upper river haciendas.
Not only will the Tranquila planters
have the advantage of the additional
flow, but the new dam will give them
u more feet Of water on the inside of
the ditch.
The San Marcos dam, which is slight
ly smaller than that projected for Tras-
Quila, was erected at a cost of $500, 900.
The Trasquila dam will be the first of
its size in this style of model rolling
dams.
Mr.. Wulff has large force of men
working on the excavations in the river
bed, and also the pumping machinery
in place Kidding the site of the large
flow of seepage water.
1t is intended to finish the entire
work before the next rainy season, in
July, 1911.
