cry few people who were in Ell
~ Paso. July TO- will ever forget
the downpour of rain on that
date. IT rained as 1t did nowhere else in
flooded. the roofs leaked, the wind
blew and there were peals of thunder
and flashes of lightning Seldom has
FL Paso seen such a storm.
This rain was very good for the
farmers. but 1t meant discomfort for
the man in the tent the adobe and
the house with the leaky roof and there
were few roofs able to resist the rain.
You have read of the Mexican wo-
man who was arrested for maltreating
an old woman whom she thought was
witch. You may have read of the
1syearold daughter of this woman who
is insane. You may have read of the
baby committed to the baby camp but
doubtless you gave it very little
thought I wish to tell you the trials
of Lorenzo. the sixmonthsold baby.
The roof Of the county jail was
leaking on this night. and streams Of
water were running into the women's
cell. Pans, buckets and tubs weIt
placed everywhere to catch the water.
and large tub stood in the center
of the cell of the Mexican woman and
her baby. This tub was almost filled
with the icy cold water. There had
been no symptoms Of insanity in this
woman, therefore she was allowed to
keep her baby, for he was breast fed
baby, and the home from which he
came was not a good place to rear
strong, healthy Americans.
Was it the water. was it insanity.
or was 1t he11ishness that prompted
the woman to do all she did on this
night2 90 one has even been able to
explain the workings of the human
mind
There in this dimly lighted room,
with its great iron bars. the running
water. the flashes Of lightning, and
the peals of the thunder lay the little
baby It was all strange to him, for
he is a baby of the southwest and not
used to such weather. He was looking
up smiling. and cooling, when all Of
a sudden, bending over him was the
woman he loved-his mother. Could it
be she? Her face was cruel and hard.
her hair hanging down her back and
something in her face he had never
seen before. Was this the mother who
had held him to her bosom, fed him
at her breast when he was hungry and
crooned soft. little songs to him when
he was sleepy? Was this the mother
who was ever loving and kind? What
had caused this change? Lorenzo could
not understand. He cried with fear and
pain, the more he cried the more cruel
the mother became. Instead of peace
and love he saw only hate and a de-
sire to kill in the face bending over
him. Here in this jail, among strange
scenes, this sixmonthsold baby wit
messed things which would have caused
many hearts to stand still with fear
Who can tell what Impression 1t has
all left on his baby mind?
As he watched the woman he
screamed with fear. she then grabbed
him up, drew strong cord around his
little body and then plunged him into
the tub of Icy water The more he
looked up into her face. the more he
pleaded in his own little baby way

Pigeons.


In this department much has been
said about the raising of chickens,
the turkey industry has been touched
upon, and we have had able contri-
buttons on duck culture. Not word
has been said, however, with reference
TO pigeons It is true they are not
exactly poultry, and yet so closely
akin as to merit attention in the same
connection.
The raising of pigeons in this south
western country on anything approach
ing a commercial scale is an industry
sadly neglected Fifteen or 20 birds
flying at random around g. house and
building nests in whatever cracks and
crevices they can find IS, with few
exceptions the limit of the industry.
Our people seem not to understand that
the same or greater profits can be de-
rived from a flock of pigeons as from
flock of chickens and there is prac-
tically no limit to the size of the flock
Near Los angeles, Cal, there IS a
flock of approximately $4,000 birds and
the owners of the plant reap annually a
small fortune from the sale of squads.
All over the country squads sell for
from 90 to 40 cents each and Ii is easy
to figure the possible profits from
a flock. 1t is not necessary to rival the
flock of $4,000 birds. but every man
having room for a bunch or hens could
divide that space and add to great
advantage a few pigeons. In the city
they should be kept in covered yards,
but these are cheaply constructed of
two inch wire netting. A space Il
feet, square Is sufficient for so pairs
and particularly If constructed so that
the top can be raised and the birds
given their liberty about once week
for exercise Pigeon raisers have found
that birds kept in confinement at least
a part of the time are more prolific
than when given their liberty con-
tinuous1y. But little house is required

AS had been expected, Canada
turned down the reciprocity bill
last Friday by large vote and
President Taft and Champ Clark
are now busy explaining how the
other was to blame. Both made
talks that they should not have
made but it is doubtful if their
remarks really caused the reci-
procity plan to be slaughtered.
Canadian citizens are ever in
clined to look with doubt on any
proposition of mutual interest adj
vanced on this side of the bound
airy line and it is doubtful if reci-
procity will ever be seriously
considered by them until their
own country really demands it or
until enough former U. S. citi-
zens settle in the gre a

Northwest territory to make a
big change in the results of the
elections of that country.

What with tearing up and NOV
ing to new quarters and getting
things back into running order
again the CHRONICLE force has
had it's hands full to overlooking
this week and we crave the in
diligence of our readers for the
present issue of the paper. Next
week we will try to do better
and as soon as we can get things
adjusted again and get used to
our new quarters we will try to
make up the shortage. Imagine
yourself in our position this week
and be as lenient as possible.

Farm Notes.

Be sure you are right, and then
don't make a fuss about it.
Early maturity is the keynote
in successful pig handling.
Put a boss pig by himself. AL
low no robbing-it doesn't pay.
See that the colts do not lose
flesh on short or frost-bitten pas
lures.
Feed just enough-have the
pigs bed clean and comfortable
so he will lie down and sleep,
and put on fat.
Keep the stables dry and clean.
No animal can thrive if compel
led to stand and sleep on a bed
of reeking manure.
No matter how good a horse is
in its early life, its usefulness is
cut short if it is not properly
cared for. This is a serious loss.
1t is much easier to climb down
a tree than to climb up, which
explains why the top is never
crowded and why there is always
room there.
Most horses can hear we'll, and
yet you would think from the
sound of some mems voices when
at work that the animals were
deafer than posts.
Many a good man is in such
haste to let the world know
where he stands on the tariff,
reciprocity, and the direct cleo
ton of senators, that his patient
wife can not find out where he
stands on the important domestic
questions of water in the house
and new carpet for the parlor.
Save the country, brethren; that's
right; but don't forget to save
the wife. for after all what is
the country to you when you
have lost a good helpmeet?-

FRIDAY, SEP. 20, 1911.
SUGAR UP--UP-UP.

And still, as the canning sea-
son advances the price of sugar
goes up. And the word is sent
up and down the line that the
reason sugar is getting higher is
that the beet crop somewhere on
the other side of the map was
short this season. Rot! Sugar
is controlled by a we'll protected
trust. This trust buys the raw
material at its own price. When
the preserving season is on and
people are compelled to have
sugar, the price is raised-it has
been so for the past six years.
Any housewife who has been a
housewife that long knows this,
and any hubby who has had to
pay for the sweetening and who
has peanut full of brains knows
this preserving season jump in
sugar prices during these years
was not caused by a short crop
of cane or beets, as he also knows
that in spite of these claims by
the sugar refiners composing the
trust that the raw material crop
shortage made sugar prices high
at canning time, sugar has in
variably gone much cheaper after
the canning season was over. 1t
will do the same this year, and
next and so on, ad infnitum, un-
til the condition that makes it
possible is changed-righted. In
the meantime don't blame the re-
taller for the high price of sugar
at canning time. He has to pay
more for it, too. The men--only
a few-who absolutely control
its output fix the price on it. =

him and treat him to a good load
of rock salt or bird shot if they
catch him on the premises. Nc
lesson is too severe for such a
