That Poor Editor!

An editor sat in his sanctum,
Regarding with sorrewful eyes
A huge pile of questions his readers
Sent in with demands for replies.
"Why, these" said the weary quill
driver,
"Would make up moderate book;
III publish them all together,
And let people see how they look"
"Who was it that wrote that swee
ditty
Beginning I saw from some
where?"
E'Pray tell me some certain specific
" For changing the tint of my hair?"
"Do North Polar fishes have Gathers?
"Was Wat Tyler quartered or hung?
"Who was the first man crematsd?"
"Whatis good for disease of the
lung?"
"Why are some people red. he ded7"
"Why doesn' my young man pro
pose?"
"How should sirlon be carved,
please?"
"Why do | turn in my toes?'
TEL me where Moses WAS buried
And did Noah take mice in the art?"
"What was the tune Nero fiddied?"
"Why is it hens do not bark?"

And this did not empty the basket,
But the rest are dispensed, none
know where;
For the editor now sits in Bedlam,
And plays with the straws in his hair!

Dry Farming
in New M6XiCO
Rex e. Willard

a The last two CIR three season:
have shown considerable hard
ship to the dry-farming sections
of the territory on account of
the lack of normal rainfall. A
large number of dry farmers who
have not practiced the best meth
DDS of conserving moisture have
left the territory, and many
others who did practice the mois-
ture- saving methods have been
compelled to leave because in
many localities there has been
scarcely any moisture. 1t is re-
ported from some sections that
from 60 to rs per cent. of the
settlers have found it necessary
to leave their newly acquired
homesteads.
However, there is a consider
able number who are remaining
for another season, and the pres
ent prospects are that the com
ing season will prove a successful
one.
The last two months have wit
messed a considerable amount Of
precipitation over practically all
Of New Mexico. Eastern, central
and northwestern sections re
ceived from one and one half in
ches to three inches during the
month Of February alone. Snow
fall was quite abundant in the
higher elevations 50 that with
the coming Of spring there is a
considerable amount of moisture
Prospects for the irrigators in
the territory are much brighter
on account of the considerable
snowfall in the mountains, The
greater amount of water used
for irrigation from the rivers
comes from the mountains.
Whenever the snowfall is light,
there is likelihood of shortage
of water during the following
season. s.,

Third Degree at Grand.

Topeka received her first look at THE
Third Degree" Monday night. The
crowd at the Grand was forced to aban-
don the McNeal meeting and buck the
weather mans offering-but the show
was worth the effort. One of the main
features about the Charles Klein offer
ing is that it is different The 81 a day
villain is left at home, the ambulance
makes but one trip in the course of the
entire play and at times the bonehead
police are so natural that the audience
want to call the characters by familiar
names. Back of it all is the work of
Sarah Padden, whose former introduce
ton to Topeka was through the maya
zines and theatrical literature.
In THE Third Degree" Sarah is u
has a hard time convincing New York
society that it is necessary to sit up
and do things. Sarah's husband was
subjected to the third degree when a
friend committed suicide. But the
sweating produced more results than
the Lolley Investigations in Topeka.
Jeffries was compelled to admit a crime
that he never committed. Then Sarah
was busy through three long acts set

large and reconciling the elder Jeffries

it. She camped with the biggest lawyer
in New York until he was glad to de-
fend her husband. Then she dug up
the evidence that resulted in his re-
lease and placed her in a dozen en-
barrassing situations.
When the present theatrical season
closes and an official count is made, 1t
is probable that Sarah Padden will be
found to have spoiled as many perfect
ly good handkerchiefs in Topeka as
any reliable contemporary. After the
first act she kept the society circle
going. The galleries were for her
strong. When Sarah put on full steam
and laughed or cried, the gallery spe-
ctalists wanted to volunteer to assist,
but they didn't do it.
To be sure J. R. Gentry, as Richard
Brewster, the lawyer, and Harry Fors-
man, as Howard Jeffries and Ralph
Ramsey, who was Howard Jeffries, jr.
and a woefu1ly wilful son. helped out
with few pinch hits, but it was Sarah
with the misfit clothes and everlasting
determination to do things that took
the show over the rocks.

Dead Man Was Well Known I'm This
City-E'atal Accident Occurs While
Blasting Out Road With Dynamite
on Blue Creek.

John Grove, the well known wheat
king of this county, this morning re-
ceived a telegram from Walla Walla
announcing the accidental death OF
his brother. Lew Grove, thirteen miles
from that. city. The telegram con-
tanned no details of the tragic occur

from that city states that he was
killed by a dynamite blast at about
1880 while engaged in road work on
Blue creek. But meager information
has been secured but it is thought
that his body was covered by the blast
which exploded prematurely. The
body will be brought to Walla Walla
this evening.
The dead man was well known here
and had only last week left for Walla
Walla. This is the second one of the
Grove brothers to meet a tragic end
