act very recently who were not sol

their uniform are generally not born
in the army, but who lived in civil
life until their majority, when they
probably enlisted, therefore it is to
be supposed they did not learn their
badness in the army.
A disreputable soldier was first a
disreputable civilian; and in the army
as perhaps nowhere else, are there
things conducive to the making OF the

rRGEs DRY LANp CANAL.
Editor FL Paso Herald:

Editor FL PasO Herald:
East Ell Paso has suffered to the eX-
tent of $4,000 during the SUMMER by
congested water from rains. There
is no outlet for this water to get to
the river, so it spreads out and soaks
into the ground. It has caused sick
ness in that community as well as hav-
ing damaged property to the extent Of
many thousands Of dollars.
No one knows the situation better
than the officials of the G. H. & S. A.
Railway company. Its engineering
corps has been over the vicinity max
ing surveys Of the lands and getting
the levels in order to ascertain some
means by which the water could be
diverted to the Rio Grande.
1t has done more already than both
the city and county together to carry
this volume Of water to the river. The
company has had its men watching this
water during the big rains, following
it to the five mile bridge 70 Iind II
backing up against the county road
and the banks Of the canal. 1t has no
outlet to the river.
A dry land canal will sooner or later
be built north of the track through
East FL Paso and on down to the five
mile bridge to carry this overflow
water off.
Now is the time that the city and
county should look forward to this
move and join the G. H. & s. a. Rail-
way company and the reclamation ser
vice and put this canal through East
Ell Paso and prevent any further dam
age to property.
The dry land canal could be built in
such a way that the dirt taken out
could be made a splendid driveway

graded on the south side and would be

good, too, to find everyone imbued with
the holiday spirit. Christmas should
be the happiest time in the world for
everyone. People should take the CIV
ing of gifts in the right way and not
go at it as an obligatory burden that
taxes their pocketbooks Nothing is
worse than the over expensive Christ
mas present which the giver cannot af-
ford, but because of this. the giving of
presents should not be discontinued.
The gift without the giver is bare.

Tabbyland and veto ne of the
~ things which is very easily ex-
planned when one thinks about it was
the fact that there were no mice there
None of the Tabby children, in all of
their lives had seen a real live mousei
That sounds very strange at first, to
think of kitties growing up without
ever having seen mice, but how could
they ever see them? What mouse was
likely to be so silly as to visit place
which was simply running over with
cats?
Whenever Mrs. Tabby thought that
her children needed a taste of mouse
she went far away, all alone, and
caught what she needed. Her kitty
children were so small that she had
never taken them with her on these
trips and as she always brought back
the mice dead, they had never seen a
live one. Indeed they had never
thought anything about it, for al
though catching mice is a very import
ant lesson for kitties who live in the
world of human beings, it was mat
ter of no Importance at all to kitties
who lived in a world of their own and
had their meals bought at the store
just like human children

matters stood one night when Mrs.

They were all in the sitting room. and
Tottie was out in the kitchen making
candy.
She went busilyr back and forth from
the PANTRY to the stove, and when the
candy vas mixed, stood and stirred
it. The sounds of play from the other
room made her anxious to hurry and
get in the games, too.
Now her very last thought was that
she would see a live mouse In all
her life she had not seen one and here
was nothing to make her think that
on this particular night mouse would
foolishly come sneaking into Tabby-
land.
She heard a little noise at the door,
but thought that it was just a twig
