WATEREp STOCK.
(By George Fitch.}


 Watered stock is a method of making wealth swell.
 Watering stock is more profit able than watering deserts or gar dens or cattle, just before de- livery. The profits of gold brick peddler in a district which hasn't time to read newspapers are trifl- ing beside the profits of a cap tain of industry and guardian of our national prosperity, when he begins making two shares of stock grow where only one had been be- fore.
 | Stock is not watered With a fuuntain, but with a fountain pen. If the proprietor of a railroad capitalized al $50, O,U00.OO0 looks over it's stock and decides that it's getting dry and season cracked, he mniStrnS it up by issuing an- ut her fifty million dollars worth of stock. The money which Is gotten from this stock naturally belongs to the holders of the old stock. Thus every share of stock has sWeIl.,d into two shares. and he general manager is ordered tu take one section hand out of each crew and eXtinguish the switch lamps an hour earlier each morning, in order to save enough money to pay the extra dividends. Stock can only be watered sue cessfully in time of great pros perity, when the company which is going to get soaked is earn ing a great deal of money. After the stock has been watered times often become harder, and the rail- road, in order to pay it's dividends, must increase it's rates. Some people are so wicked as to insist that this should not be done, but they are agitators, and have no respect for vested wealth.
 Watered stock has been a great blessing to this country, increas- ing the value and magnificence of private residences in New York, and enabling us to introduce the Justly celebrated American Duch- sss in all the courts of Europe. In the good old days, when the financial rainfall was greater than it is now, a man could start with a branch line road worth $50, ,OOO, and by judicially bond ing and watering the same, could in time purchase a transconti- mental system before the one To- 'comotive of the original road was sold for taxes. But a cruel and ruthless public has objected to paying higher rates every time the president or "a railroad owner gets social ambitions, and it looks very much as if in the bleak henceforth the preferred and common stock of our glorious republic would have to thirts in vain.

Then again one can hold them until

they are older. but one can safely
count on a hogs growth, at the min

After that II may be that IL costs more

that age, yet the increase should not
be large for fat production He is
already fat and it then takes but lit

Now that feed is plentiful, every
farmer should get some pure bred hogs
and start to growing them There Is

They are worth while Then again,

TEACHERS
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Spanish will be taught in the city
schools next year by Misses Ethel
Taylor, Alicia O'Neiu and Lucille Dwyer.
There were u applications for the
three positions as teachers of Spanish
in the graded schools. The exdmina-
ton was given by Prof Gonzales,
Manuel Flores and Miss Isabel Kelly.
The test was for teachers who could
teach the children a conversational
knowledge of the Spanish language.
The standard was set high and but
half of the dozen applicants qualified
and from these the three We're selected.
The teaching of Spanish grades is a
new department in the FL Paso schools
and is the result OF an agitation on the
part of the patrons for the instruction
of their children in practical Spanish
for business and domestic use.
