 "A petition was being circulated yesterday on the streets of Las Cruces, which purports 10 request the representatives Of DOna Aus county in the legislature 10 vote for William II.

Nothing is too small for him 10 do. The last petition of a political character cir culated on our streets was for the appointment of a road supervisor iR the Second district Of the county
 This job pays S2OO a year-it was noted that the two petitions which secured the largest number of sig natures. were in behalf of men who were not elected. So il will be in the case Of Andrews. A petition cir culated in that manner means noth- ing and will accomplish no results, except as a further illustration of the Pulls" methods and the Bulls" political calibre-or the methods and calibre of some of his bought and delivered" friends in this neck of the woods. The public knows that any petition, which does not involve the payment of any money, will be signed by nine-tenths of the people to whom it is presented on the streets.

not suffer as much from this cause as does the navy. Each year there are large number of young officers in the graduating class from Annapolis who ind that their careers are checked by seasickness.
 Cupid Deadly Enemy.
 Major General Leonard Wood, chief of-staff of the army once refused to permit young cavalry lieutenant to resign and engage in civil pursuits, because the officer wished to get mar ried. He granted the young officer three months leave with permission to go beyond the seas. in which he might enjoy his honeymoon.

No form of inoculation has been devised to cure the wounds made by the darts of loves messenger aC Annapolis and West Point Com handing officers in the army and navy. who are constantly confronted with this problem, wish there was some. thing to keep the young men away from the wiles of wOmankind while they are fresh from the restrictions placed on them in the schools.

 Cupid has been fought in vain by tHe officials Of both branches Many young midshipmen secure transfers from the navy to the army service when they find upon their first cruise that they are susceptible to seasick- ness, while others ask for transfers believing that matrimonial conditions are better The young wives as a rule do not relish the ideG of having their husbands wander all over the world on long cruises. Then. too, the mid shipmen on joining the army is ini- mediately advanced to the grade Of first lieutenant. This brings an in- spurned by the young officers

 The bethothal of young officers 70 rich young women is more Cften than not not the cause of the resignation, says Major General Wm. 9'. Carter. In many of the cases which I have personally investigated I find that the parents of the young women prefer to put the young man in business rath- CT than have him transferred to the Philippines. or some other distant point upon leaving the West Point Academy. The resignations from the army are much fewer than from the navy. This Is due chiefly to seasicil- ness and glow advancement in thaa service. The young men on graduation from the naval academy must serve two years before they are granted the rank of ensign.

YOUNG OFFICERS DO NOT
 COMPLETE FULL SERVICE

tBy Winfield Jones, Special Cores pondence Of The Review)
 WASHINGTON, Feb 22-The in- creasing frequency with which young officers who have been educated at the expense of the government at West Point or Annapolis, with the hope that some day they may become admirals or generals have been handing in their resignations before they have psrformed a days service for the country, is one of the gravest problems now confronting the war and navy department. Within the last year many midshipmen and ensigns have presented their resignations to the navy department, with reasons suf- ticient to cause the department 10 ac- cept them. Neither Annapolis or West Point at present has a large waiting list, and where in former years there were fifteen or twenty applicants for entrance there are few now.
 The war departments attention was recently called to the large number of enlisted men who have been buying their discharge from ,he regular army, by Major General Frederick D. Grant, who admitted he was al loss to ex- plain the reason for tie exodus from the service
 The war and navy departments are worried by the developments in the situation, and nage started inyestiea- lions to ascertain the causes and de- terh'ue what strLs can be taken to theck the incTtasing number os ap- DIcdstu- for 'ss','rsc
 Peace Wave Influence
 There has been a large number Of enlisted men seeking discharge, but recently the applications for resigna- tion among the midshipmen- and en- signs have been growing at a rate that the problem is becoming serious. If the number of graduates continue to diminish, and the men available for ofiicering the army and navy con tinue to decrease, drastic measures will have to be taken to keep the military and naval establishments up to the standard.
 The wave of sentiment in favor os universal peace is supposed by some officials to be partly responsible for the resignations. With the probability of war becoming less year by year officers and privates of the army and sailors and officers Of the navy are losing their zest for military service. and are training their thoughts from war and military service to different lines of industry.
 The navy and war departments have been periodically confronted with this question of the withdrawal of young officers from the service particularly at a time when their schooling has been concluded and they are about to enter upon active service. When it is believed that it would prove unprofit- able to retain the young officer the resignation is accepted The army does

Therefore many midshipmen resign from the navy to enter the artillery branches where the advancement Is generally more rapid. The young mid shipmen may become a first lieuten- ant on joining. the artillery. though tne majority become second lieuten- ants, which places them several years ahead of their grade in the navy.

Tho Queer Armadillo.

One of the most peculiar Of animals
is the little armadillo, with its curious
shell covered back.
Some years ago it was very unusual
to see them in Texas, but now they are
very common there. 1t is supposed
that they drifted in from the western
plains.
Those who are familiar with the
habits of the armadillo say that it is
harmless and inoffensive; indeed. it Is
believed that they are useful to the
farmer in destroying insects. They are
called ant eaters. but they feed also
on bugs. worms and nuts.
When pursued by dog. the arma-
dillo runs rapidly for awhile, but it
finds hole as soon as possible. Then
1t attempts to brighten off the enemy
by rattling its armor. The rattle is
louder and harsher than that of rat
tlesnake.
If the armadillo is captured young it
usually is very gentle. The shell is
like that of tortoise. but resembles
rows of plated ruffIes. The bony case
is beautifully polished and is made
into baskets by the Mexicans. In the
tropics the giant armadillo grows to
the length of three feet. but the spe-
cies that ranges as far north as Texas
Is no longer than a weasel or house
cat.
