The Maid and the Hot Weather

The Pecos valley has been having
its bumps in the matter of hot weather
this summer, and IT must be confessed
that several times il has been n good
bit too warm for real comfort. Not
even the certainty that the coming
night will be cool and sleepful can
wipe out the hot feeling when the ther.
mometer is dancing around above 100.

The Spanking Age.

The serious thought of the present
day is indebted to Editor Brogan of
the Albuquerque Journal for a flood OF
light upon a very abstract question,
namely the spanking age. It was sug-
gested to him by the action of a young
woman in bringing damages against her
father for assault, the old man having
soundly spanked her for some infrac.
tion of the family rules. Never since

gentle art of kissing, has such an edi.
torial been seen IN a territorial paper,
and yet in reading it over for the
twentieth time. one IL left in the dark

ing period. theoretically it extends
from the first dawn OF babyhood up to
and including majority, or at least such
part of that period as the spanker is
husky enough TO administer the correc.
tion. Sometimes il ceases to be nee.
essary to administer such a crude though
effective form OF punishment long be-
fore the spankee is OF age. More fire..
quently it would be highly beneficial to
continue it right up 10 the age OF
eighteen, which is when a girl becomes
Of age in this state, and it might in
some instances be wise TO extend the
limit without period. There are about
four hundred girls in this town who
are now in the flying size, who need a
sound spanking every day and every
hour. just watch them a few, how
they spend every minute that they can
on the streets, how they think it smart
to flirt with young pups whose ideas
