During all of last winter Rasmussen

Wednesday Of this week, Feb
ruary 2, is the day set aside by
the territorial legislature on
which to commemorate. the sign
ing of the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo in 1848, by the terms
of which New Mexico was ceded
to the United States. The day
is called New Mexico Day." In
the book of programs recently
published by the Department of
Education for the use of the
schools in preparing programs
for holidays, appropriate sug-
gestions are made for New Mex
i co Day. In some of the schools
this has been done this year,
while the idea will prevail to a
larger extent in years to come.

Ranch House Burns

On Monday night the home of
Harve Cluff, about five miles
from Mountainair, near what is
known as the Yeso settlement,
was completely destroyed b y
fire. Mr., and Mrs. Cluff were
in Estancia, where Harve had
come to attend court as a grand
juror.
The fire must have been of in
cendiary origin, as there is hard:
ly a chance of any other theory
for it. Mrs, Cluff had taken up
the claim, which had apparently
been abandoned, later filing a
contest against the original en-
tryman. The case came up for
hearingin Santa Fe last week.
1t seems that considerable feel
ing was engendered during the
taking of testimony, and the fire
may have been the result.
The loss is considerable, the
home having been nicely furnish
ed, among other things there
having been an eight hundred
dollar piano. Mr.. Cluff asked
to be excused from the grand
jury, to go home and take u p
any clew, which might be found
to solve the mystery of the fire.
1t is to be hoped the fre-bugs
will be apprehended.

HdllegS Comet

Halleys Comet, which has been
plainly visible in the west for
several evenings, has now be-
come so dim that it is not visible
to the naket eye on account of
the nearness and brightness of
the sun. 1t will not be visible g.
gain until after it passes around
the sun, and starts again on its
great journey into space, A
great many people have been
nervous every since this Comet
has appeared, fearing that t
might collid with the earth. OF
course that is possible, as Artro-
nomers tell us that the earth has
passed through the tail of a
Comet at two different times
during the last century in 1915
and 1861. But in each case il
was not known until after the
encounter had occurred. Should
the earth come in contact with
the head of a comet, n
would undoubtedly be fine me-
teoric display. This is no doubt
what happened in 1888 and also
on a number of previous occas
ions. More anon.

Census Enumsrasors

Santa Fe, N. M, Feb. 2.-On
January 81, the time expired for
the receipt Of applications for the
position of census cnumerator,
and while many applications have
been received since then, these
had to be rejected. On Saturday
February S, examinations or
tests will be conducted at a nun
dred different postofices in New
Mexico and upon the outcome of
these tests depends the appoint
ment Of the applicants. In San
IA Fes the test will be held at
the capital from ga. IN. to noon,
three hours being given appli-
cants in which to fill out the ex
animation papers, In all there
are about 6OO applicants IN New
Mexico and as there are only 300
places to fill, every second appli-
cant will be disappointed. How
ever, in some sections, like Luna
county, the number of applica-
tions is less than the places to be
filled while in places like Albu-
querque, Santa Fe, Chamita,
Ricardo, etc., there are ten to
twenty times as many applica-
tions as places. rs a rule, appli-
cants can be appointed only in
the district in which they live.

Makes Curious Find

D. W. Robinson, of Tuttle 4
Sons of this city, brought us
copy of the Shawnee Daily Her
aid, containing q write-up of
curious find" in which his bro
ther James C. Robinson, playec
an active part, we quote q par
of the article:
One Of the most mystcriou.
and perhaps important finds evel
recorded in Shawnee was brough,
to light yesterday when James G
Robinson, who guards the cities
prisoners working on the streets
unearthed a small tin treasure
box beneath a tree on North
Market street between Burns
avenue and Dill street. m
Discovery was made about so
feet from an old spring which
was used by the Kickapso In
dams and the box was buried
about three feet below t h Z
ground. This point was former
ly occupied by the Kiekapoos as
a camping ground in early days.
The box contained well pre-
served patents to property locat-
ed in Harper County, Kas,, the
value of which at this time
would closely approximate g.
100000. An unsigned receipt
was attached to pension papers
in favor of Martin Arthur, of
Anthony, Kas., while a mort
gage of ancient origin was also
contained in the smalltin box.
Officer Robinson Immediately
brought his find to police head
quarters and the papers were
placed in charge Of Tax Collect
or L. E. Hathcock.
All of the land patents, which
are those covering Usage trust
lands and one covering 160 acres
in the Cherokee Strip. are sign
ed by Chester A. Arthur, presi-
dent of the United States, O. l..
Judd, as assistant secretary,
and S. w. Clark, recorder Of
the general land Office.
The certificates of patents are
we'll preserved and could n o t
have possibly been buried in
their place of hiding earlier than
1891, inasmuch as one of the
mortgages is dated in 1891.
Just how the papers ever came
to be placed in their unique hid
ing place is matter of mystery
among those who have examined
the same.
Whether or not the same j Q
part of loot secured by bank rob-
bers in Kansas during the eos
is a matter of conjecture. That
the same had been taken from
some bank vault and left in
Shawnee during the fight o f
robbers was advanced as q plau-
sible reason for the hiding Of the
deeds in what was once q remote
wilderness with regard to its
present hustling activity.

The eternal spirit OF boyhood is
crippled. but not suppressed by the
cramping conditions of industrial CIV
ilization. The natural culture for this
lively human germ is the breezy farm
and the healthy rural village. Farm
life is sounder but its isolation. under
the conditions Of American agricul.
ture. prevents that combination
through which the boy spirit, like in.
dustrial energy, reaches full develop.
ment The home of Tom Sawyer was
an ideal place for boy to grow up
and the boy stories Of William Allen
White indicate that such villages still
thrive in the State of Kansas. Crowd
ed streets and the tainted air Of In
dustrial cities blight the spirit Of boy
hood, even when II is not crushed by
early toll. The few boys, miscalled
fortunate, who are lifted by wealth
and luxury out of crowded streets and
tainted atmosphere, escape only to en-
counter new fetters upon the soaring
spirit of boyhood. Condemned from
the age Of rompers to a round of con-
ventionai duties behtting their station,
and Of pleasures only less deadly, the
feebler Of them repeat in a miniature
Of fashion the boredom and sometimes
the vices Of their elders. The rare
spirits who break out of these and re-
vert to the vital habits of primitive
boyhood in the country may be the
hope Of a living future instead of the
memory Of dead past. The grand
son Of Jay Gould, who ran away from
Pomfret, Conn, exactly as Huck Finn
ran away from his fathers cabin, re-
wives the spirit of boyhood in many
an elderly bosom. He was 16 years
old and had two dollars and half
He had seen a bit of Broadway and
Pomfret bored him. He never had left
home before and was bit homesick
He climbed the fence at ball game
and started to walk to New York. He
He preferred barn sleeping to cheap
lodging houses and made his money
last from Friday until Monday morn
Ing, when his blistered feet led him to
a police station and a confession. BY
tho time he was rested and filled up
a secretary came and took him home
This reads like sissy performance
beside those Of Huck Finn, but 1t is
something for the grandson of the man
Of Erie and black Friday.
