PASSED BY THE CENSOR

THE wonderfully blue waters OF the bay of
Il Funchal Off the coast of Madeira, gilt
tered translucently. In small boats a party
of American tourists landed from the steam
ship. McNab who had a mania for collect
ing outre things, announced that he would
buy the finest old Madeira wine on the island
and, with that, he disappeared on his hunt,
the while the others saw the sights.
And then the unregenerates laid q deep
and wicked plot to commander that wine.
So they got back to the steamship we'll in
advance and awaited events. Just as the
whistle blew its "all aboard" McNab hove
in sight in a small boat, lovingly caressing
a basket. He tied it to rope, mounted to
the steamships deck and began to hoist UP
his precious burden.
But the wicked ones were prepared and
when the basket was passing certain port
hole, hand protruded and two bottles, cob
webbed and ancient looking, were lifted
bodily into the inner recesses of the steam
ship. Whereupon the ships surgeon brought
fine cigars and the first mate nuts and bis
cults Then the purloiner. after more or
less neat speech of triumph pulled the corks
and-poured out the clearest, incest water
ever seen
McNab had paid IS each for the bottles, but
he never knew-the unregenerates had just
enough self-respect left not to tell him the
awful truth.

HEINRICH HEINE, the German poet, lay
IL desperately i'll in Paris, an exile from his
native land, Stunned by members of his race
because of his change of faith, disliked by
those of his new religion. But though
paralyzed, his mind was clear and acute
as ever and his wit cutting. Daily he
wrote for French paper incisive, rapier-
like, cutting and sharp were his remarks.
And the butt of his daily joke was one of the
Rothschilds For months this had continued,
and then Rothschild could stand the Jibes no
longer. He sent a friend to Heine to offer
him a life of ease if he would forego his
satirical attacks

could not buy health for me. Tell him that

him"

at the last term of court the grand
jury was greatly disguised at the way
things we're presented to them by the
district attorney, and so expressed
themselves. The district attorney
was considerably worked up over the
report. 1t was reported that he would
immediately resign, but he subse-
quently thought better OF that. 1t
was then rumoTed that he would hold
his job, and draw his pay until court
met again, and then resign but he
thought better Of that. He compro-
missed between his conscience and his
pocket book and appointed G. G. Roy
all, Of Silver City, as district attorney
for Grant county. The e district
attorney, Judge Neblett and Sheriff
McGTath have put their heads TO-
getheT and there will be changes in
Grant county. The first change was
noted a couple of weeks ago when the
district attorney went down to Ha.
chita and attended the preliminary
examination in a cutting case. He
got the testimony reduced to writ
ing, signed and sworn to, In such a
shape that 1t can go to the grand jury,
and it will not be necessary to sub
poena witnesses. Sheriff McGrath
has figured 1t out, and finds that
after paying the district attorneys
expenses for this trip, and saving the
expense Of bringing the witnesses be-
fore the grand jury that Grant county
made q saving of Si5z. The district
attorney has notified the justices of
the county to let him know when
they have a grand jury case, and he
will attend. 1t is probable that Mr..
Royal will save the county more than
the price Of his salary every year. Mr..
Royal aud Sheriff McGrath have got
together on some other things, and
have concluded to enforce the Sunday
law and the gambling law. That IL
is not hard TO do is apparent from the
fact that Lordsburg has been dry for
the past two Sundays, and as the Of
hcsra mean business 1t will probably
continue dry. They have also put the
private bar IN the Elks club out Of
business by notifying It to buy a re-
tail license, OF quit selling booze. The
LIBERAL does not remember IN It's 20
years OF residence when the court the
sheriff and the district attorney have
been as one In the enforcement Of All
the laws, and all Of them anxious to
see the Law enforced.

J. L. T. Waters, who long has held
the position Of postmaster at Duncan,
was In the city this week, going to
and returning from Deming, on a
business trip. He says that just after
election an aspirant appeared for the
office. He had a good business, and
thought to add to It the postofice.
About that time there was a civil
service examination in Duncan to
select a postmaster at Steeplerock.
No n wanted the Office, butIn order
that 1t might not be discontinued a
prominent cattleman who got his
mail at Steeplerock, was persuaded to
take the examination, so as to keep
the office going. He concluded, as a
matter Of patriotism, to do so, and
appeared at the time Of the examin-
alton, secured q set Of questions and
went to work at them. The hand
that was used to a bride rein was
awkward in handling a pen, and after
working a time at the job he threw 1t
up In disgust, telling M. Waters
that he would rather send a cowboy
from his ranch to Duncan for the
mail than to bother about being post
master. He told his experience in
Duncan, and the aspirant for the Dun
can Office concluded he did not want
1t, and no other aspirant has appear
ed, and Mr.. Waters has concluded he
will have to continue on the job. In
honor of this event he has concluded
to build a federal building In Dun
can, expressly to house the postoHice.
1t will adjoin the Billingsley store
and be 3Ox7O feet in size. All Of the
building not used by the p~ostoflce
will be rented to the Duncan Phar-
macy, Of which Mr.. Waters is the
owner, and will be used as a drug
store.

APPLY sage TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and Thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair
Just few applications will prove u
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about so cents large bottle
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound thus
avoiding lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is n ot
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant Hooks Pharmacy.

ENGLISH MIDJETS WANT
TO JOIN ARMY AND
FIGHT GERMAN GIANTS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct 29-Why England
should restrict recruiting to men of the
minimum height of it. 6 inches in
days when battles are fought with long
range weapons instead of broad swords
and battle axes is puzzling many
young patriots of under size who are
anxious to go to the front. The old
rule has already caused medical men
to protest both in print and to the
Army Medical Advisory Board.
One of the medical journals points
out that what is needed these days is
not brute power to WELD heavy
weights, but a wiry physique able to
stand bad weather, irregular feeding,
broken sleep, long marches and brains
to take cover and shoot with skill and
patience. The short man weighs less,
needs less food, is easier of transpor-
tation, stands hard marching without
his feet giving way, offers smaller
mark to the enemy, keeps himself
warm in a smaller space and can shell
ter in a trench better than a big man.
The heavier the man, the more food
needed to keep up a given amount of
physical exertion, and man of 10
pounds requires a fifth more food than
one of 140 pounds, it is scientifically
estimated. Hence SIT. in. would open
recruiting to excellent material.

BERLIN FIRM BUSY
MANUFACTURING IRON
CROSS" DECORATIONS
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Oct. 23.JImmediately after
the revival of the Iron Cross at the
beginning of the war not less than
100000 of these decorations were ord
cred, and about 10000 of them have
already been conferred. A Berlin firm,
which makes speciality of manufac-
turing orders, keeps twenty men en-
ployed all the time making these cross
es. They are made of cast-iron, lac
quered in black and bordered with sill
yer; the first class, in addition to
this, has the reverse side of silver. The
Iron Cross was instituted in 1913, dur
ing the Napoleonic wars by King Fred
erick William III. as a reward for
bravery in the field. 1t is conferred on
officers and privates alike, and is, in
fact, the most democratic of all the
Prussian orders.
