Good Idea for Wood Fire.

Curious ideas some people have OF
patents. IA New York coal dealer said
A man came In here the other day
and wanted to know IL we ever heard
Of boring holes in the logs we sell for
open wood fires, because. he said. II
the idea was new he was going TO get
patent on IL.
81 asked him what might be the use
OF boring holes in the logs; to hang
them up? He said every one liked to
see the blaze In an open wood fire and
when it got low they poked 1t or put
on fresh logs just to see some more
fame. II YOU bored an inch hole
through the middle OF log and put II
on the fire with tho hole vertical II
would form a kind of chimney, and
you would have cheerful little jet
OF flame coming up through 1t until
the log was completely burned away.
Il tried II when | got home that
night But the idea OF asking for n
patent on such thing as a hoie!"

FLOODS REMARKS
NOT APPRECIATED
THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAiGNEa r
EvoKES LITTLE ENTHUSIASM
AT SANTA FE

Santa Fe, N M, Oct. t7.-Congress-
man Henry D. Flood spoke here last
night at small meeting in the
legislative hall at the capitol. Two
thirds OF those who attended the
meeting were republicans, drawn
there by curiosity to hear what Flood
had to say. The gentleman from Vir-
ginia reached the highest pitch of his
speech when he pounded copy of
the Evening Herald of Albuquerque
and the Santa Fe New Mexican, with
his fist and made wild attack on the
republican press, which his audience
received in laughter. He then de-
clared that w. H. Andrews, the repuh-
lican party and the republican organi-
cation OF fs-w Mexico was ael.lst
statehood and that he, Mr. Jones. Nc
Gill, Hand, Burkhart and select cot
erie of democrats alone got statehood.
He showed clearly that he personally
knew nothing whatever of conditions
in New Mexico, politically or other
wise, and that he was speaking blind
" from information furnished him
hurrriedly by the democratic bosses,
who ran the state convention.
Mr.. Flood made very ,poqr impress
sion on the people of "a and
| 1t is generally admitted n-fs today
that he made no votes for the demo
cratic party ticket.
