NEW FAD OF PARIS WOMEN.

Nine. Rejnne Has Started n Craze for
Lectures.
The conference craze has strongly
developed within the last six months
in Paris. 1t was Nine. Rejaae who un-
consciously started this fashion among
women.
This clever actress had a fancy TO give
a lecture in the theater that bears her
name. The hall was filed with what is
termed an all Paris audience. and the
lecture was supposed to be one some old
Russian author: but nobody. least of all
Nine. Rejane. troubled at all about the
Russian and still less about the lecture.
According to the Gentlewoman Nine.
Rejane had come to be seen. not TO be
heard and the audience had eYeTy reason
10 be pleased with what they saw
The staging. indeed. had been done
in mastery manner. Several screens
Of a delicate pink hue had been so ar
ranged as TO place the lecturer in full
view Of the audience. as in a kind OF
boudoir The lecturer was seated be-
hind Il beautiful table on which stood
vase filled with pink flowers. while a pile
Of books. also bound in pink and sup
posed to be works by the before men
toned Russian, were tastefulIy scattered
about the table
These books were never opened by the
lecturer nor was there any use for
the chiseled inkstand. for the huge new
art penholder. the artistic paper cutter
and other utensils pertaining to the world
of letters. but they impaired a serious
tone to the ensemble. 1t is almost need
less TO say that Nine. Rejane's gown
and hat were pictures in themselves.

Burk's Big Uncle Toms Cab
in Company Under a
Mammoth Canvas.

Will exhibit at Deming Saturday
night Sept. "a. Among the many
tented organizations in America
that have become famous, the Ring
ling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
shows are conceded to be the larg-
est and most popular circuses. But
the largest dramatic organization
exhibiting under canvas is "Burk's
Big Spectacular Production Of Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" This mammoth
amusement enterprise is the ac-
knowledged Barnum of Uncle
Toms Cabin" companies. Like the
big Circuses they travel in their
own cars and require n special train
to transport their paraphenalia
from one city to another. This or
ganization embraces more men, wo-
men and children, more horses, po-
nies, donkeys and Siberian blood
hounds, more chariots, floats, tab
leaux-wagons, etc, than any other
similar exhibition in America. The
parade may be seen daily on the
principal streets wherever this
mighty show exhibits, and is the
largest Of any dramatic exhibition
in the world. The immortal play,
Uncle Toms Cabin" is Mrs. Har.
rict Beecher Stoves masterpiece
of dramatic fiction. The manage,
ment of Burk's big company has
spared no expense in securing {

Five big private cars. with n

the Santa Fe system, pulled into
Deming Friday morning and during
their stay were greeted by Presi-
dent Ely and a goodly bunch of our
live Chamber of Commerce.
Among the distinguished visitors
were c. W. Kouns, general manag-

general manager western lines; r.

Bisbee, engineer western lines; F.

sion; A. Ewing, trainmaster.
After greetings and fluctuations
had been exchanged, parties gath
cred here and there in little groups
and discussed the rapid development
of this country, the improvement
in all conditions, ETC., until the
trainmaster ordered the train to
move. Usually his order stands,
but it didn't this time, not on your
life. Not a wheel turned until ev'
cry one of those five big cars had
been filled to overhowing with our
own and only 99.9S. Those big

LANDS GOING HIGHER

In a recent story on New Mexico
and the Southwest, the Chicago
Tribune, among other things, took
occasion to say:
Herein stretches the Egypt of
the New World, as much richer in
agricultural wealth as modern meth
ods are more productive than the
crude tillage Of old. The great
valleys contain the same alluvial
soil which made Egypt so fertile in
the days of the Pharaohs. There
is the same clear, luminous atmos-
phere overhead the same delicious
climate, the same dependence upon
irrigating rivers. Without water
the garden spot Of the modern
world would be as arid as Sahara
with water it is being made to yield
a fabulous wealth.
WHAT CAN IRRIGATED LANDS PRO-
DUcE?
First and foremost is alfalfa
king Of forage plants, from six to
ten tons to the acre, 1t is self-per-
petuating requires no reseeding
for years and annually enriches the
soil it thrives on rather than ex-
hausts it. Its deep growing roots
draw moisture from the undersoiI
and nitrogen from the upper air
the two most valuable elements OF
fertility in any cline. Profits aver
age $50 per acre and sometimes
more. Truck gardening continues
throughout the year, yielding pro
duce abundant for early market
A winter crop of Bermuda onions
has yielded as high as $500 pei
acre. An acre of cantaloupes il
worth $400, and an acre of toma
toes $500.
In variegated farming a single
acre has been known to produc'
four crops in one year. In Janu
airy it was planted to potatoes; il
March to corn; both we're harvested
in June August lst corn was pu
in again and turnips in September
The clear, sunkissed air of thes
valleys ripens fruit to a deliciou
sweetness, weeks in advance of tn
regular market.
Irrigated lands may still be ha

Have you ever noticed how an
icicle was formed? If you have,
you noticed how it froze one drop
at a time until it was a foot or
more long. If the water was
clear, the icicle remained clear
and sparkled almost as brightly
as diamonds in the sun; but if
the water was slightly muddy,
the icicle looked foul, and its
beauty was spoiled. Just so our
character is forming--one little
thought or feeling at a time. If
each thought be pure and bright,
the soul will be happy and spark
10 with happiness; but if impure
and wrong, there will be de-
formity and wretchedness. The

The Commoner says concern
ing prize fights:
IF we are to make real prog
ress in the education of children,
we must sooner or later drop the
prize fight from the list of our
practices. If we are to make
genuine progress in the effort to
perpetuate the peace between
nations we must make some prog
ress in the effort to maintain
peace among individuals.
sit is not difficult to under
stand why men become worked
up over a prize fight. Such con-
tests stir the worst sort of pas
sions in men and are even more
harmful to the bystanders and
to the reading public than they
are to persons in the fight. Mel
