IS I T WILL certainly be a boon TO
Ell PasO If a stopover privilege
is allowed by the Transconti-
mental Passenger association" said J.
A. WILDER. There is to be vast
amount Of travelling to the san Fran
cisco and san Diego expeditions next
year, and it would bring a great deal
o. money to FL Paso if the tourists
were enabled TO stop over in this city
and take in the sights Of Juarez.
Juarez is an interesting place and
Mexico should be completely quiet
when the time Of the exposition comes
around on February 20 The eEposi-

THE members Of the Country club
and their friends certainly appreciate
the military band concerts at the club
twice a week" said Ernest L ". Polk.
The music adds greatly to the en-
Joyment Of the club members, and
especially the Sunday night concerts

splendid musical organizations as the
military bands stationed with the regi-
ments here"
Il believe that the proposition OF
chartering a whole circus was a novel
thing, even if the 'antis' pulled the
stunt" said Seth Orndorff 1T resulted
in the ants making considerable
Roadway at Canutillo Monday night
Just before the trip was made to
Canutillo, the 'antisH learned that there
was a circus there. They did not do n
thing but hold the circus over and
then when the candidates and poll
ticias got there they gave free show
for the CanutillO citizens. A bareback
rider would do a stunt and then a
politician would make a speech. The
circus was a drawing card. We had a
good meeting at Canutillo.'

a desperate stand at Queretaro, which

The expression to get your goat is /
older than the present era" said David I
Mcknight I had heard that the express
sion was TO be found In the bible. but 1
I discovered that one old general about I
1000 B. c was declared to be the goat /
Of his army because he lost a battle. I
In biblical times the expression was I
used in different sense. It was Gus
tomary to sacrifice lamb as a part OF D
the religious Observance The lamb I
was the most available animal the 4
old time shepherds owned. Some OF |
the more crafty ones substituted goats I
for lambs. goats being much cheaper I
IN those days In other words they /
were double crossing the gods. The 1
expression was used in our own time
OF that significance at the present /
time"
This is a wonderful place TO study
human nature and types OF men," said
