Some Truths About Feminine Fascination
The Clngng Vines WIZ the ComeHAn Lk in TIER

a GROUP of women were dis
~ cussing another woman who
was neither uncommonly
beautiful, nor clever, nor accom-
plished, but had made three very
excellent marriages. They could
not understand the secret of her
fascination for men.
All" said an old Scotchman who
was listening to them, "'tis not
beauty, nor intelligence, nor wit
that draws men to a woman. It's
the come hither look in her eyes"
But what is the come-hither
look in a womans eyes," they ask
ed him. but the old man could only
shake his head He recognized 1t
when he saw it. but he could not
describe It,.
Neither can any one else tell
what is the secret of a woman's
fascination; nor do we know why
one woman has it, and another
lacks it.
II has to do with woman's
looks. Yet the whole of it is not
beauty for we all know women of
classical form and features whom
all men admire al distance-and
are content to keep their own dis
stance. Some Of the handsomest
women in every community are old
maids. the tradition of whose
youthful fairness fingers like
halo about them as long as they
live. 1t is also notorious that beau
ties generally make the worst mar
riages.

The Most Important
Cabinet Officer.

6eSNAACV SA11OG1s
It has happened five times IN the
history Of the United States that
the vice president has succeeded to
the presidency-John Tyler. Mil
lard Fillmore. Andrew johnson.
Chester A Arthur and Theodore
Roosevelt being the vice presidents
who succeeded to the higher Office
through the death of the president.
1t is generally recognized that
the first in Importance of the cabi-
net officers is the secretary of state.
He has In charge all business be-
tween our own and foreign gov
ernments. He is, STRICTLY speak
ing, our minister of foreign affairs.
He Is authorized (and no other
cabinet officer Isl to negotiate with
foreign governments in the name
OF the president. 1t is the duty Of
the secretary of state to supervise
the publication of all laws, treaties
and proclamations.
The salary of each cabinet officer
is $4,000 per year, small sum
when one considers the importance
of the Offices to be filled and the
experience and skill necessary to fill
them properly. 1t has been urged
that the services of cabinet officers
would be of greater value to the
government If they were given
seats in congress. This would tend
to loosen the restrictions by which
the officers are bound.
1t must be remembered that the
nine executive departments Of our
government were created by acts
Of congress; that the bringing to-
gether of these nine men to consti-
tute a new organization advisory
to the president, is sanctioned
neither by the constitution nor by
law. Custom alone mas established
the relation of this body Of men TO
the chief executive, and the impOs-
sibility of any one man attending
personally to all the business of the
government makes such an advls-

Wells-Fargo Fire.

Headed by Charlie Tossell, the To-
cal fire company responded to an
alarm sent out from the depot about
1855 o'clock Tuesday morning. and
found the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany's office in blaze. No time
was lost in getting stream on the
fire and the building was saved.
Part Of the credit goes to Ralph
LOOMS and Joe Clark, who sue
ceeded in getting the depot hose in
action about the time the firemen
arrived. The loss is placed at 500
on the building and a somewhat
smaller amount on the baggage
damaged by the water. Luckily
there was no wind and the flames
were not hard to control. Deming
should congratulate itself on having
such efficient volunteer fire fighters.
Clare Turnbull and B. Morrison
were sleeping in the building at the
time the fire broke out. They con-
nected a small garden hose and did
some good work on the inside of the
building.

An Unbiased Opinion.

A resident of Michigan wrote a

opinion of this country and in reply
was sent the following:

The people of the United States
are finding out that the reports of
unprecedented general prosperity.
circulated throughout the South
west are not mythical in character,
bu, predicted upon living and &C.
tual realities which speak for them

this section on pleasure and sight
seeing expeditions have returned to
their homes in every portion of the
union with stories of the wonder
full prosperity that prevails here
and the march of progress and de-
velopment that is the most wonder
full that has ever come under their
observation. 1t is in this way that
knowledge of the situation has been
largely disseminated, and when to
the stories of the tourists is added
the confirmation that comes from
the army of travelling men working
in this territory, there is positive
proof presented that is almost AS
strong as Holy Writ.
1t is in this manner that the
Southwest is being constantly al.
vertised throughout the country,
and men are being turned in this d.
rection, for the human family is
both migratory and easily inspired
by the movements of its more ener-
getic members. There are many
new faces being seen in the Great
Southwest, and as a class they are
about the most desirable future citi,

Children's Picnic.

The children of Miss SCOTS and
Miss Goebel's rooms planned q picnic
to Castle Dome last Saturday and
invited their teachers and Miss Goe-
bells sister to act as chaperone.
The day proved a most delightful
one for all participants and every
one returned tired, but happy. The
features of the day were the lun.
cheons prepared by the girls and the
climb to the top Of Castle Dome.
The ride home was spiced with jokes,
fortune telling and singing. The
day was a success from Alpha to
Omega.

The STRANGE Sea Spider.

One Of the strangest creatures OF the
sea is certain species OF sea spider
named Nymphon gracile. 1t has a
body about the size OF bit Of thread
n quarter OF an inch long and tied into
four knots. The head looks like the
end OF a thread split into two horns.
From each OF the four knots start two
legs, one on each side, making eight In
all. The legs are three or four times
longer than the body, but the odd
thing about them Is that the allmen-
tary tube into which the food goes
runs down into every one OF the legs,
so that whatever the spider eats circu-
lates through his legs, and, In fact.
the legs are like the body In internal
structure. Another curious feature OF
this form OF life is that the baby sea
spider is not In the least like the
grownup Of the same family. II is
much more like a crab, but how 1t de-
velops from n crablike form Is not yet
tained.-Exchange.

DEALING IN STOCKS.

Investing Your Money.
We hear OF fortunes quickly made
In Wall street, Of miners who have

made inventors rich. But how many
Of these instances are there? Just
few. while couItless thousands and
hundreds OF thousands have lost every
thing In unsuccessful ventures.
The prosperous, successful man or
woman Is the one who buys with
knowledge OF what he or she Ia buy
Ing, whether IL be n piece OF beef, a
dozen OF eggs. a horse. a house or
stocks and bonds.
Money has been made In Wall street
and will continue to be made. Those
who buy stocks when they sell low and
sell them when they advance must
make money. The operation Is no diff
ferent from buying a house or farm
at a bargain and selling 1t at a profit
But one should exercise just as much
care In one transaction as In the other
