l. 4 ernoon. as he held out a
Mauser with triple sights for inspection.
That rifle was the property of Zapata
and was carried by him through the
first MoreIos campaign. 7 was given
TO me by GaribaIdi who was in the
first Moreles campaign The federals
were attacking Zapata's position and
one of the horses stampeded and ran
into the federal lines. Strapped to the
saddle was the rifle, and it has Zapa-
ta's name on it. Garibaldi afterwards
brought the gun 10 FL Paso and pre-
scented it to me as souvenir of the
revolution"
Ben Jenkins, former chief of police,
is now an oil magnate along with John
ID. Rockefeller Mr.. Jenkins has just
returned from Mansfield, La, where he
owns an interest in a gusher- There
is a touch of sentiment about that
strike" the former police chief says.
1t is located on the home farm where
1 plowed and cultivated when a boy
and before had ever heard OF FL PaSO.
I was working over my fathers &C
counts at Il and L saw my health was
going. 1 decided to work on the plan
. tation to restore my health, and 1
plOwed row for row with a negro, to
learn how. It was this same field
where I ploWed that the oil was struck
and 1 was the last one to plOw it. Th4
two oil wells are said to very rich, one
being a gusher which oil men declare
is capacity producer"
Poetry is not exactly in my line"
Bob Krakauer says. but it is not nee
essary to lay a good egg to know one.
I saw a little poem the other day
which struck me as being especially
appropriate for Ell PasO and here it is:
Every time you come to town
And start to throw your money arOun'
Say, Homemade goods are the goods
Because they spell Prosperity
"A dollar you send to the Eastern store
Says, goodbye, Bill, fOrevermore,
But the dollar you spend with the home
made sound
Keeps a-comin' and a-coming and
a-cOmin' round
1.-The people around are getting wise
To the way to beat the cataloS guys,
Who keep what they get and never
With enough Of the coin to buy a
hound.
we love our town and we love our
state,
And here's where we ought to co-ope-
If you want health. wealth and a groan-
ing table.

1T may be the poor people Of Juarez
who would suffer most, if they were
from FL PaSO," an American business
man In JuareZ says. Every morning
you can see the we'll dressed women
of Juarez coming back from FL PaAo
with their net shopping bags FILES
| with goods they had bought IN the
| FL PaSO stores. This mesh bag seems
to be universal badge of the house
wife in Juarez, for they all carry il
j = b IL d.
en- bring over many thousands of dol
! lars worth of goods each year, upon
which no duty is paid But the stores
here charge a much higher price anO
il is up to them to get it where the
goods can be obtained the cheapest,
/ as long as the custom house stands
for it,
Had George AIDE heard the quick fire
repartee engaged in by a theatrical
man and Badly" the train caller at
! the Union station, he would have doubt
less blushed from indispensable shame,
for the authors fables in slang would
have sounded like pink tea conversation
1 in the drawing room of the elite. And
it was all over a little, harmless dog,
maybe of the Chihuahua breed
Here your called Badly don't
you know you cant meander round IN
/ tn yards without a permit from the
superintendent? What you want, any
! way?"
swered the theatrical man, as he hic-
cOughed once or twice. Dye know

We know Cooper, tn brakey. Why, he's

Get on out of the station. now; I'M

! Badly growing wrathful and flashing
his elegant symbol of Officialness-

ominously as he advanced a step to-

room for argument here

You're squlrtin' too much hot air, see?
done 1t oncet and strangled of asphyX-
! iation." And here he appealed to the
policeman, saying that Badly was en-
deaVorinS to hand him a line OF con,
etc, etc.
Badly again interferred with his
lines" and assisted him to the door of
the station Beat it, you and your
dog" he muttered, waxing into slang
for the first time. It's contagious,
/ this slang"
Sunday was a quiet day for Dad
Marnock," said mounted policeman W.
simpson Dad had not hitched his
! team to Black Maria a single time
/ during the day The Leary machine
/ had driven up to the police station and
patrolman C. F. Leary at the wheel was
( headed for home. At the corner of
| stanton and Overland the machine
went dead The patrolman killed the
engine Leary's chauffer got out and
cranked; Leary started the machine
and killed it The chauffer cranked
the car again; Leary killed the engine
| again This was repeated a number of
I tunes; Leary each time doing the kill
ing act. Then Leary's boy got out He
took turns with the chauffer cranking-
Leary killed the engine all by himself
guess I'll hitch up said Dad
| and go haul Leary in But the two
,crankers' finally got the best of Leary-
He got so tired he could not kill the
engine any more, and the machine got
under way"
