Ralph I. Ely, president of III,

from California Tuesday morning
and found u mass of correspondence,
awaiting HIM pertaining to the busi.
ness OF the State fair. Mr.. Fly AN
n"unces the employment of the ia

do while in New Mexico will be TO
lay ont the town of Spaldng, four
teen miles northwest of Deming, de-
signing parks, drivc> and places for
public buildings.
AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS
President Ely states that his ideas
concerning the State fair are to some
eyterl incorporated in II letter which
he received this morning from John
Morrow of Ration, New Mexico,
which reads in part AS follows:
"ln regard to my views as to what
II State fair should consist of.
should say that our fairs should be-
inclined more TO agriculture and hor-
ticulture than to sport. There is a
tendency of II certain element of cit =
izcnship in New Mexico to make our
fairs along the line of sports, that
l.. in the way Of amusement by horse
racing and other features connected
with it, neglect the real foundation
for development of the material re-
sources of the State. | think that
agriculture in all its characteristics,
county exhibits of diifcren, grains,
Of the fruits, and make live stock q
specially strong feature Of the fair.
The live stock, horses, cattle and
sheep, of New Mexico need improve
ment.
This is particularly the ease
among our native people, and rs Il
very large percentage of the native
citizens of New Mexico are engaged
in both agricultural and live stock
raising, education along these lines
should be made a particular feature
of the fair. believe, also, that es-
pccial attention should be paid to
poultry. An exhibit of babies, or a
baby show, can be made very pop
ular feature, and premiums should
be offered for the most perfect baby,
and should be under the most strict
medical supervision as To the method
of judgment. The work of the high
and graded schools of the State
should also be emphasized"

Brooklyn, NJ Y, Nov. 22.-Edward
Montgomery, seaman's apprentice,
aged Is, sat on a coil of rope, with
marlinspike in his belt, gulping slum-
gullion from big dinner plate.
1t was high noon, on the sunny
deck of the square-rigged Annie M.

basin breakwater, among tugs,
lighters, sailing craft and steamers
from the seven seas.

may be. 1t is rare that thought comes
to us of how it is made, where, and
from whence come the materials for its
manufacture. The word is from the
French crayon meaning a marking
chalk.
ChaIks were the first instruments
used by artists and they were then in
all probability nothing more than
Jumps of colored earth, or chalky sub
stance, cut to fit the hand conveniently.
The line drawings of Aristides, the
Corinthian. and Telephanes, the
Sicyonian. quoted as being among the
first artists. were probably made by
these materials.
Now we have in use the fine hair
pencils, before mentioned, used by the
Chinese and Japanese instead OF pens.
For writing. these require great skill
and care in the making. And we have
lead pencils which are extensively
manufactured in the United States.
The pencil, or crayon, is made of
graphite or plumbago, which really con-
tains no lead at all, but is nearly all
pure carbon.
From the isolated mines of Santa
Maria, near Hermosillo, Mexico, comes
the graphite which furnishes lead for
about so per cent of the pencils used in
the world.
This is very fine in quality, as is that
found in Siberia and other parts of the
Russian empire. and in the famous
Cumberland mines, which have long
been celebrated
The Santa Maria mines are the largest
on the American continent They were
discovered in 1867.
\ graphite OF inferior quality is found
in Austria and Prussia, in Ceyion and
in parts of North America, but 1t is
rarely used in pencil-making. excepting
for very cheap articles
An immense amount of money. labor,
and care must be expended for the
mining OF graphite and preparation for
transporting to manufacturers when II
Is finished and ready to be made into
pencils.
To prevent the marking material from
breaking ii is encased in wood. For
this outer cover the wood OF the red
cedar has been decided upon as the
most satisfactory. A great deal of this
Is found in Missouri, in. the Ozarks.
While lead pencils are manufactured
largely in Europe, the most OF the ma
terial used Is furnished by the United
States Considering the time II takes
for manufacture. the transportation OF
materials from such different. far-apart
destinations. the labor and capital re-
auired, the lead pencil Is not so simple
a little thing as II seems to be.
And they are only inexpensive be-
cause they are turned out by the
million.

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
GRETCHEN'S RING.

I< 4 1t Is your birthday, Gretchen,
~ you may have this sixpense
n to spend on cakes" said
little Dutch Gretchen's
mother one day. But it was many
years ago, In Revolutionary times.
The New York town in which the girl
lived was a small Dutch settlement
where everything was spotlessly clean.
The small red cottages with green
blinds were set in prim row with prim
flower beds, the children wore the funny
Dutch blouses and wooden shoes and all
the housewives spent their lives in
scrubbing their floors and painting their
white yard fences till they shone in the
sun.
Gretchen looked very happy as she
ran down the lane in her blue kirtle
with her white cap on the sunny braids.
Just at the corner of the road she
bumped into a man resting on the fence.
He was ragged and dirty and sick. Feel
ing sorry for him. Gretchen offered him
half of her money, which he eagerly
took.
Then she noticed that the rags were
those of a worn uniform and that his
uniform was that of the English SOL
diers.
Don't say a word about me, Miss"
said the man, touching his torn cap
respectfully. II am deserting from the
British army. 1t is death IL l am
caught"
'Tf you will hide in those bushes
there" said Gretchen. 'I will bring
you some clothing and food"
VERY WELL" returned the man. 4
will wait for you here" And he slipped
up into the bushes on the side of the
road. Gretchen sped home and in a
few minutes returned with some old,
but clean, clothing and some bread and
meat These she gave to the soldier.
The girl said nothing about this event
when she returned home, fearing some
one might harm the man. But at night
she lay awake wondering about him.
Presently she heard a step In the sit
ting-room and without a moments
hesitation she crept silently down tie
stairs in her bare feet and peeped over.
In the moonlight she could see into the
sitting room plainly. and there stood the
man whom she had helped in the morn
ing. putting into a bag the silver cam
dlesticks and the tiny silver urn that
always stood on the high mantel
Now both had been in the family a
long time-fOr five generations-and the
girl knew they were priced above all
price. The man did not look like a
wicked one she thought. and seemed
ashamed of what he was doing, for
he would frequently stop and shake his
head. But when he turned and reached
for a silver cup which had been her
own, Gretchen could stand II no longer.
Down the stairs she bounced lightly
and flew into the room.
The man started at the sight of the
