CONVERTING THE OLD MAN
cogent Reason Advanced That Had
the Effect Of Bringing "Paw" to
the PenItent Bench.

They say that once down In Ken.
tuclIy county, which shall be anony-
nous, one of the young rough-necks
was converted at a revival held in the
little building which served a double
purpose as schoolhouse and church.
He had been a wild lad, but his con
version was sincere, and by the force
of his example or possibly Of his hard
fist he succeeded in getting the rest OF
his following to join, too.
His father had never been to church,
and said, further, that he never in
tended to go. His son, however, fol-
lowing his change of front, greatly
desired that his sire should join him
in that stand. He got the preacher,
who was conducting the services, to
go and wrestle with the old fellow.
The two adjured him to attend church.
He was finally persuaded to do so,
and once there the son and the evan
gelist directed their efforts to getting
him on the mourners' bench. The old
man wavered, but finally stood firm.
He reckoned 1t was powerful good, but
he kinder believed he'd let things be
as they were.
Look, here. paw" said the recent
proselyte, you come on in. I'm in,
and l can tell you it's so d. good you
ought to take little Of it Just for
luck!"
That was an unconventional way of
putting it, but it had its effect, and the
old man j'ined.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

ALVIN WHITE WRITES
FROM TEXAS.

Surely the people of New
Mexico do have hard times; but
they are getting along as well
or better than the people here.
After living in New Mexico for
four years / decided to come to
Texas and try it awhile. Have
only been here two weeks, and
wish / was back in Kenna, and
l expect to be back there before
many days pass.
Now some of you Kenna Rec
ord readers may have a laugh at
my expense, but l don't care,
just so l get home again to the
finest country on earth. If
you will just step over here and
see how things are you will
make up your minds that you
are not the only people who
have tough times, for although
this is an older country, times
are as hard as they are there,
and if you doubt it, come and
see for yourselves, and you
will be glad to do as l will soon,
return to New Mexico. There
is only one way l can be gotten
out of New Mexico again when
l get back, and that is to tie
and drag me out. You can de-
better in New Mexico on a Dry
Land farm than you could do
here if you owned a bank, and
if you don't want to accept my
word for it come and see for
yourselves. True the people
here have some advantage from
its being an older settled coun-
try, but when New Mexico gets
as old it will have this part Of
the world skinned a mile.
l met ]. T. Abbott, of Kenna
a few days ago and had quite
talk with him, and he says he,
too, will be glad when he gets
back to New Mexico. He has
been here some time now, and
has had work most of the time
but he says he can live better
in New Mexico and not work
half the time. Nearly every
thing is higher here than it is
out there, so one can not live
as cheaply. You are all better
off out there than you would
be here, for it is a cinch that
you own your own land there,
and do not have to pay all you
make to a landlard. Here most
of the people are renters, and
by the time they settle with the
fellow who owns the land they
have little left; and if they fail
to make a crop they are in
debt. So l say the peoDle of
New Mexico are better off, and
have no kick coming.
Yours for speedy return,
ALVIN G. WHITE.

Tom Ward came up from
Roswell a few days and, after
making a trip to his claim to
see that it hadn't strayed from
the range, left for Oklahoma, to
visit a brother who is down
sick.
A letter from Harry Goodin,
who is now stationed at Sham
foek; Tex; states that crops
were good there this year. He
says they raise lots of broom
corn back there, but that it is
not near the quality of the New

that very many people there
have their eyes turned toward
New Mexico, and will wend
hither soon.

Mrs. Missouri Ward has re-
linquished her claim out in 1882
and made application to enter
another tract. She alleges that
the claim she is giving back to

sandy for either farming or
grazing purposes, and she
thinks she is entitled to some

make II evident TO the officers of

ity, from its board of directors down
to its most subordinate responsible
officer. is responsible for the acts
of the corporation with which the
law chooses to. deal That being
done. 1t is perfectly feasible for the
law to punish the person or persons
directly who ordered any Illegal thing
done. Such a process would check.
and correct illegal and unconscien-
tious practice as no fine or cor
porate penalty ever can. and is as
feasible in the case of public SER
vice corporations as of those which
perform less direct and obvious pub

lawyers can work out and which will
clear the whole air of chicane and
evasion, which WILL moreover, re-
move from government the burden
and the temptation of the actual ad-
ministration of corporate undertak-
