Black EridaXa.

In England the term Black Friday
was first applied to Dec. 6, 1745, the
day on which news reached London
that the pretender, Charles Edward,
had reached Derby. Again on May IL,
1866, when the failure of large Eng
lish discounting institution brought on
a most disastrous panic, the day was
called Black Friday. On the day of
the suspension the Bank of England
raised the rate of discount per cent.
Wild speculation in gold in New York
and other cities eliminated in a none
tary crash on Sept. 16, 1875. that swept
thousands of firms and individuals into
financial ruin and caused commercial
depression that extended into the eight
les Of the last century; hence the origin
of the term Black Friday in the United
States.

Mhen ths Guitar Arrived.

The advent of the English guitar in
the eighteenth century caused the dis
appearance of bandores. poliphants and
similar wire strung instruments, or,
rather, it supplanted them, for, owing
to the use of fingers, the English guitar,
though smaller. could be used for ac-
companying the voice as well as for
solo performances. The instrument,
which had decorative appearance, is
frequently depicted in the portraiture
of the eighteenth century. 1t was
made in various sizes, two of the
smaller ito be managed by young
ladies from seven to ten years Of age,
the other by ladies' Of ten and up

PULLING THE COURTS LEG.
A Practice the English Judge Did His
Best to Discourage.

a Practice the English Judge Did His
Best to Discourage.
The following remarkable judgment
was delivered some years ago by a
magistrate in one of the English colo
MES:
"Pachua is hereby charged with hav-
ing on the 11th of January followed
the court on its rising and while said
court was in the act of mounting into
its buggy came from behind and, seiZ-
ing the courts dangling leg. the other
foot being on the step, forcibly pulled
back the court. frightened the horse
and nearly caused an accident. The
reason alleged for this by accused is
that he wanted to hear the result of an
application of his. The practice by Pc
titioners of pulling the courts by the
legs is one that should be discouraged
Accused only says he is poor man,
admitting the truth Of the complaint.
He is sentenced to one months rigor-
GUS Imprisonment"
Strange to relate, the lieutenant gov
ernor of the province on reading this
sentence felt it necessary to intimate
TO the magistrate that neither the SEN
tence itself nor the peculiar phraseolo-
gy in which it was couched was calcu-
lated to meet with approval from minds
running in legal grooves.

Bio Poker Stakes.

Many stories of big poker games
among the western cattlemen in the
early days have been told, but this
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is really true. Two
well known cattlemen of southwestern
Kansas, one of whom is now a promi-
nent business man in Kansas City,
started to move their herds to the
pastures of Wyoming. Each herd con-
tained more than a thousand head of
cattle When they came to the cross
ing of the Arkansas river near Coo
lidge they found a food on. They
were unable to cross for two or three
days. To while away the time the
two men engaged in a poker game.
When the food finally subsidized so
that the cattle could proceed one of
the cattlemen said to his son. who
was helping to drive, Just turn my
herd over to our neighbor and we will
go back home" He had bet and lost
not only all the money he had. but all
of the herd of cattle.-Kansas City
Journal.

Movino Troops bv Rail,

to send the entire national guard Of
New York out of the state, how long
would it take the railroads to handle
themY was asked a railroad official
In New York.
"Twenty-four hours, easy" was the
instant reply. This is under war
conditions, remember, which means
that everything gives way to the
movement of troops and their equip
ment. The railroads of America can
handle men and war material of all
kinds, including everything from
horses and men to cannon and rations,
much faster than they can be assem-
bled and delivered to us. In fact, un-
der war conditions the railroads are
prepared to do their part quicker and
better, with more certainty and better
speed, than any other part of the ma
chinery, commercial or military, in
America. ."-Railroad Mans Magazine

Fish Delusions.

There are two popular delusions
about fish-one that they cannot live
out Of water and the other that they
can live in any pure water, the food

which, having to exist in absolutely

have developed lungs. while in many

What the Kidneys Do.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
gout gravel, disorders of the eye
sight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, dropsy, deposites in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
E. L. Berry, Main St., Heppner
Oregon, says: "You are welcome
to use my name as one who has
been cured of kidney complaint
by Doan's Kidney Pills. My kid
neys were weak and my back was
so painful that | was obliged to
walk all stopped over. The con-
tents of one box of Doan's Kidney
Pills effected a cure and during
the past two years there has been
no recurrence of the trouble. "

Thirty years ago, physicians
conscientiously and guardedly
prescribed alcohol because they
had not yet learned its true ma
ture. They supposed it to be a
stimulant, like strychnia - we
know now it is an anaesthetic,
like chloroform. Drs. Waugh
and Abbott, of Chicago, editors of
the Journal of Clinical Medicine,
at least five years ago said in an
editorial in their paper substan-
TALLY as follows: "Sick or we'll,
old or young, whatever your con-
dition may be, every drop of alco-
holic liquor you put inside you,
will work injury and not good"
Alcoholism has reached such
alarming proportions in wine
drinking France that for the
preservation of the nation-the
death rate having become greatly
in excess of the birth rate the
French government has placarded
all France with posters setting
forth the dangers of any form of
alcoholic drinks. One of these
posters states: ''The continued
use of alcohol, whether in beer,
wine or spirits, even though not
to the extent of drunkenness,
leads to chronic poison and ply
5ical degeneracy." The British
Government has taken the same
precautions and the Emperor of
Germany has undertaken to stop
the use of beer in both army and
navy, saying in emphatic lang
uage, Leadership in war and in
peace will be held by that nation
that roots out alcohol. "

with the superior class of farmers who are now

A farm Of 100 acres, which might be. a
reasonable homestead on the prairiies, would be
monopoly holding in an Irrigated region where
forty, or even five, acres would support family
and keep It busy. Mr.. Roosevelt knows the
possibilities of irrigated lands. Five acres under
irrigation IN the Mimbres Valley properly cul-
ivated IS an independence for any family.
There are twenty acres IN one mile of Deming
that yields net revenue each year of 100000.
Large holdings IN the vicinity of Deming are
being cut up into five, ten and twenty acre
blocks and are being sold out to actual de-
velOpers. At the present rate of development,
Deming will be surrounded within few years
by hundreds of these five and ten acre farms.
jill OReilly. vice-president of the Occi-

the Mimbres Valley for several weeks spoke
concerning possibilities here, as follows:

pendent waternghts, your long seasons, all COM
bine to make this one of the choicest spots IN
America
w A. HalIer, chief engineer for the Fed
eral Light & Traction Co. of New York, states
In his report to his company on the Mimbres
Valley, that the ultimate power consumption IN
this Valley for pumping water for irrigation will
be $4,000 with possible $4,000 horsepower
In this report Mr.. Haller also takes occasion to
commend the activity of the Chamber of Com
merce, for It's enterprise, the wide advertising It
Is doing, and for its splendid work IN bringing
the whole community together for the general
good. Touching the matter of the water-supply,
Mr.. EIaller states that there Is a catchment area
Of approximately 1000 square miles, from which
area the water finds It's way into the underAow.
The report places the amount of water yearly
received into the underaow at approximately
100000 acre-feet.
Absolute conservatism Is the distinguishing
feature of Deming's advertising. The truth is
good enough. We desire to appeal only to
sensible people. The most we hope to do Is to
inspire an investigation. There Is no welcome
for the speculator Prices are held down so that
the actual developer can make good and make
money The sensible man knows that some
thing for nothing propositions are fakes. He
knows that to get something he must pay some
thing. Deming and the Mimbres valley offers
a safe, sure investment, and guarantee Of ample
return for capital invested and labor EMPLOYED.
1t offers special and unique advantages IN the
way of healthful climate, the purest water IN
America, a progressive citizenship, railroad
facilities unequalled IN New Mexico, splendid
school system, active church organizations, a
homogeneous population. a community of fine
moral tone. There IS health for the invalid
member of the family, there Is every opportun-
iy for the proper education of the children.
there are investments and profitable employment
for the head Of the family 1t is community
of American homes, none very uch, none verv
poor, and the resulting social life Is upon a bi0b
