When Jack billiard announced that

from Europe. Harry Clifton. his fell
low clerk in the insurance office. laid
aside his pen and whirled around on
his high stool.
Come and eat dinner with us.
Jack" he said cordially. I'VE would

Thank you. Harry. will come"
accepted Jack It's mighty nice Of
you TO ask me-"
Jack billiard was only a clerk in the
insurance office. but his position was
q more desira BILE one thar any of the
others. His father was the president
of the company, and young Jack was
learning the business from the bottom
UP. He had commenced as office boy
and was now a senior clerk. So well
had he progressed, however, that his
father had decided to promote him to
an official position at the beginning
of the new year. This was a secret
that Jack did not know.
He had accepted Harry Clifton's in
vitation to dinner mainly because he
sincerely liked the ambitious young
man who had worked so conscientious
" at his elbow for several years. He
and Harry Clifton had worked their
way up in the office side by side, and
when the time came for his father to
promote Jack Hilliard there was n
strong probability that Jack would
urge that Harry Clifton was equally
deserving of promotion, and there was
also a strong probability that Harry
would receive it.
This conversation had taken place
the day before Thanksgiving, and that
evening Jack billiard, who was din
ing at restaurants during the absence
of his parents. met at dinner pleasure

So 80 NEW MEXICO ~ ~

Norman f Mack, in National Monthly.
New Mexico is going to walk into
the sisterhood Of states with her head
up. The advent of a new state into
the union is always a matter of SUI
preme Importance, but instances are
of record in the past when the glory
OF the event was dimmed by the
knowledge of the new comer's subser-
viency TO the reactionary influences OF
politics and government.
The democratic convention of New
Mexico not only in its candidate, but
in its association and its platform car
ries an assurance TO the rest of the
country that New Mexico is neither

right Of the people TO rule.
The nomination of W c. Mcdonald
as candidate for governor has won
the support OF the progressive repub-
licans and a fusion of the two great
forces of political advancement was
not only advisable, but, under the
circumstances. inevitable. The plat

The real romance Of life is not In

He's been married just six months

OF course he doesn't telephone from

" FOR PARTY PEACE "

They will stand against all dissen'
sion in democratic ranks.
Not only the democratic editors, but
the republican editors of illinois, know
full well that never was the democ-
racy of our state confronted with more
golden opportunity than now.
The national trend is strongly to-
ward the democratic column.
The republican ranks, all over the
land, are badly divided, but in no state
is this dissension more marked than in
our own.
A strong, clean ticket. a brave plat
form and united party will mean
democratic victory
And no set of men can do so much
for complete party peace than the body
which will meet here a few days hence.

The assembly will not be particular

They will stand for thoroughly re-
