The Musings Of A Maltese Tabby

Last evening while mewsing er fancy and fact,
lacked
A motley procession of citizens swept in tune
Through the brain cells where gray matter is kept.
First good Mayor Caselberg, menu in hand,
Appeared to my vision upon the grand stand,
Close followed by Shower of the Northern Hotel,
Who believes life is pleasant and looks it full well.
Then learned Judge Wilson a lawyer sof note,
Said he didn't think women ever should vote.
While Reverend Wharton in clerical'vest,
Claimed that Adam in Eden had clearly trans
crossed.
Because he desired to, and not as some moot.
That old Mother Eve tempted him with fruit.
Next came Mcclellan and Garland two corpulent
lads,
Who share the distinction of selling new fads.
OF merchants and bankers were nearly a score
Counting John and his wife making two Mer-
chants more
Then the Enterprise office doomed up into view
two.
At last DIR. Clay in his auto flew by,
Remarking, I never let my patients die
Stevens also and Tressler affirmed to the crowd
A failure in practice they never allowed:
While Postmaster Campbell brought up the queer
band,
Holding six Brahma hens and a stamp in his hand.
Then Fancy refused any longer to roam,
For twas Thanksgiving Day in my Maltese home.

BILLS OF LADlNG

New York, June 3-The cotton brok-
ers have lost their test suit to make
the banks pay the losses the cotton
firms suffered through spurious bills
of lading issued by Knight, Yancy
and company. the bankrupt southern
cotton brokers. The appellate divi-
sion has unanimously affirmed SUI
preme court decision, setting aside a
verdict for $39,91O in favor of the
cotton exchange firm of Springs and
company against the Hanover Nation
al bank and ordering new trial.
The court holds that banks dis
counting drafts or accepting them for
payment do not guarantee the gen.
uiness of the bills of lading attached
to them as collateral security
Springs and company paid draft
for the amount sued for, which was
collected by the Hanover National
bank for Knight, Yancey and company
with bills of lading attached, which
subsequently were found to be fraudu-
lent.

throats of the farmers last year has
changed this season to shout of joy.
In all parts of the territory indica-

icky days of 1907, as given by John w.

Positive denial is given by the

successful in the history of New Mex
leo dry farming. Wheat and oats on
some of the farms nearest, Las Vegas
were injured to some extent but the
damage has been found not to have
been so serious as was at first
thought
The most important crops have not
been placed in the ground as yet OF
have not come up high enough to DC
damaged by the hail. The ground is
in excellent condition, being full ol
moisture which the farmers have care
fully conserved by frequent plowing
Indications are that beans, which
make one of the staple crops will b
produced abundantly, as will whea
and oats. Grass is growing rankl.
in the pastures to the delight of th'

are all busy putting their crops int

position of the broad and statesman
