He Didn't Have It.

Miss Merrill, teacher in grade
school, had trouble with Johnnie last
week. Johnnie had trouble doing his
work and the authorities finally dis
covered that his sight was defective.
Miss Merrill told Johnnie and sent
him home with a note to his mother
He gazed, at the note in horror then
at the teacher and burst into tears.
The note read:
Johnnie has astigmatism, do not
let him return to school until he has
been attended to-"
Miss Merrill understood his grief
better when she received a note from
his mother. She read, 81 don't know
what he done, but l licked him for it.
I can't find it on him, and he says he
amt got it. now you better lick him,
and see If you can find it,"

Can't Wear Brown Shoes,


do you know that certain indt
viduals cannot possibly wear brown
shoes?" inquired the veteran shoe
clerk.
Il have been in the business more
than twenty years, and l can name
several regular customers, who every
season make frantic but futile ef-
fort to wear brown shoes in precisely
the same size, made over the same
last and in the same quality of leather
as the black ones they are discarding,
and yet within month the customers
come back saying they had given away
Or sold for a song the brown shoes.
1t seems as If some feet are not con-
stituted to endure the touch Of the
brown leather"

READING Aloud.

It is good plan to have children
read aloud for from twenty minutes
to half an hour each day while the
mother is sewing or mending. This
often enables her to keep informed as
to current events and is also good
thing for the children by way Of train
ing for from the newspapers and pc
riodicals they obtain the use of vo-
cabulary such as they would not get
from their text books,

BREEDING Scrub Hoas.

With animals that will multiply as
rapidly as pigs it seems almost a
shame to see a man breeding old
scrub sows to some boar that has no
pride of ancestry or hope of poster
ity. Yet this Is exactly the course
that about half of the farmers are fol-
lowing, and wondering why feeding
hogs is not paying substantial profits.

Presents Flag to Mills.
Standing in the rear of the autOmO-
bile, Gov Colqultt arose 10 receive the
first cOlors and then, turning to GOV.
Mills, while he grasped the staff in his
right hand, said TT is my delightful
pleasure at this time as the chief exec
utive of the greatest Of ali the states
IN the union to present the flag
Of our common country, to you as chief
executive Of the Attn state, New Mexico
Il want to express the hope that New
Mexico viii always defend that flag and
what II stands for the constitution that
guarantees liberty, the right to serve
our God as our conscience dictates
Our government has three points,
the executive, represented by you and
Gov. Sloan and myself and the president
sire TO uphold as the chief executive. Of
our nation, the legislative, represented
by congress and the various legislatures
that make our laws, and the judicial
which CONSTITUTES those laws, defines
our constitution and protects our lib
erty.
This army IS not for the suppression
Of liberty, but to uphold and guarantee
it 70 every citizen This is good enough
for Texas, If Is good enough for New
Mexico and Il represents the best thing
in the whole World-liberty. I present
the flag as a token Of friendship Of
the people OF Texas for the people OF
New Mexico"
GOV. Mills Accepts Flag.
Gov. Mills, responding as he received
the colers and held them, said: In
1877 when this nag was first made no
one ever had any idea Of the country Il
would embrace. Betsy Ross, as she
made the first flag, had no idea that Il
would cover a territory that would be
by one OF the largest nations
in the world.

states as permanent souvenirs OF the
Celebration After the presentation all
the governors, including the two visit
ing Mexican officials, reviewed the
troops.
The Affair is Stirring.
From the first salute for the govern
ors as they drove onto the parade
grounds at Fort Bliss until the last
strains Of Star Spangled Banner had
died away into an echo among the
mountains, the military maneuvers
which accompanied the flag presenta-
ton were as stirringly patriotic as the
formal exercises themselves. To Col
Edwin f. Glenn, of the Esd infantry,
and Col E. Z. Steever, Of the Fourth
cavalry, belong the credit Of the com
plete success Of the review and presen-
tatiOn ceremonies The entire program
was carried without single DELAY.
and the afternoon of govern
Ors' day was declared to have been
the most spectacular event in the his
tory Of Ell Paso.
The dust storm which blew up soon
after lunch Friday marred the review
TO degree, for the dust blew across
the parade grounds in clouds. But the
soldiers carried out their part Of the
program without a minutes delay and
the crowd stood for more than two
hours in spite Of the disagreeabIe
windstOrm to see the military spec
tacle.
Ample care was taken Of the crowds
Certain spaces had been marked for

cause It IS right that should follow

claims the priority.
On presenting it to the governor Of
Arizona I bespeak Tor II the same pro-
lection Texas would give It. It is the
flag that poets have written Of the nag
Of the free, and hope that Arizona
will always be the home Of the brave"

Gov. Sloan, receiving the standard,
said. I'm accepting this beautiful flag
on behalf OF the 18th state, we readily
yield to New Mexico her claim Of right

Permit ms to thank you and the
state that you represent for the kindly
words you have spoken. With the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico

continued for 125 years will end, for I
doubt AZ any OF US will live to see any
new states admitted to the union. In

 Dog warden Irving M. Ford is hay ing hts troubles He captured q doG saturday and has located the owner, but the owner fS not willing to come up with the 8 to redeem his dog which is said to be 1ine bulldog. Dog War den Ford says that he has knowledge that the dog In question has been with out tag for two weeks at least and he considers that the owner has had ample time to show a disposition to have him retagxed. if the owner does not redeem his property. the dog war den has a right to kill the dog, which he will probably do.
 First 6elcctman James ]. Few called Dog Warden rord's attention Monday afternoon to the fact that a strange dog had been warming himself in the lobby of the new postOkf1ce all day and that he would not leave the building, and Dog Warden Ford went to the postoff1ce in the afternoon shortly aft ar he received notice and found not the dog that had been there all day, but another black and tan canine with out tag or name, He roped him and took him to the pound with the other dog that is not considered to be worth s by It's owner.
 The dog that had a liking to the cozy spot in the postofnce by the radiator named, but had evidently wandered q little too far from home, and refused to bucge until some kind friends in- duced him to leave the office and seek shelter in another ofice nearby.
