A great American eagle perches on a
limb in the booth of Mcclellan Bros.
in such a natural pose that it seems
ready to fly. The eagle is so well
mounted that its wings even have the
warning Of the national bird as IT flles

other excellent specimen in this eN-
hibit of taZidermy.
Printing on Pine.
Milling "Madera" pine is the prlncl-
pal occupation OF the big force at the
FL Paso Milling company. But the
big lumber working plant on the river
front also does some artistic printing,
that would be a credit to El Paso's best
shop. The printing is confined to the
boxes which the company manufac-
lures and is done DN machinery during
the process of manufacturing box
shook for the El Paso factories. On
the face Of these boxes are stamped the
trademark, advertisement and name Of
the firms who buy these boxes. The
printing is done by a great die stamp
ing machine which prints thousands of
boxes a day. Even the folding onion
crates are stamped with the shippers
names.

The FL Paso Brick company proves, by
its exhibit, that these high grade brick

The news Of the tragedy had spread
SO slowly that when Sheriff HARRISON
and Coroner. Mckenzie reached there
in the mid afternoon, there were not
enough men there to make up coro-
ner's jury of six, as required by law.
Others were sent for and when the
jury was sworn in it was composed of
F, e. Williamson, G. w. Shattles, d.
H. Ravesies, H. w. Tindell, T. T.
Deane, j. R. Shattles.
The Jury first examined the mute
testimony in the room. Then they
questioned Doc Walters, who had talk
ed with Lee the afternoon before and
who was the last man to see him and
with Mrs. Walters, who had discover
ed the bodies. ]. d. Lee, father of
the dead man, identified the knife and
gun as his sons. He said he didn't
know his son had his gun with him.
Funeral Today.

the scene via automobile shortly after
the officers had reached there. The
bodies were turned over to him and
he took them to McLaurin last
night. Four coffins were sent down

It. is true that nature ard woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for wonan's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs Of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
sorty years ago, gave to womankind
) remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
bounded, and today Lydia G. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for wornan's ills.

with the flue. Half dozen boiled

Drought Breaks Record.

Nearly every year there are dry
spells of considerable duration. The
present drought is, according to the
Weather Bureau records, the most
severe of late summer droughts COM
pared with previous years. With ex-
tended dry periods the prevailing
drought is unequalled in length.
The following table shows the long
est dry spell of late summer, during
the last 26- years:
1S91-July 20 to Sept. 80. 81 days
1S96-Aug. 27 to Oct. 27. SO days
19O3-Aug. 81 to Oct. 81. .55 days
1910-Aug. 25 to Sept. 80. .36 days
1915-July 10 to Sept. 16. so days
In two of the above named years
the dry spell extended into October,
which only tends to emphasize the
unusual length of the prevailing
drought. During the number of days
given, there was no measurable rain.

off.
The meaning of it all was not diff
cult to guess Lees mind had been
peculiarly affected earlier in the
spring. During the past few months
he seemd to have recovered, but at
intervals he would lapse into state
|of melancholy. While thus affected
he imagined that he and his family
would starve to death. Since early
spring he had been working at Clyde,
and returned to his homestead place
only Wednesday morning. He had
brought neither food, furniture nor
clothing with him. A skillet at the
fireplace, with few grains OF burnt
popcorn in it, indicated that this had
been the only food OF the family at
supper the evening before. The bar
reriness of the place, the solitude, the
loneliness, the absence Of friends or
food no doubt played their part in
bringing back the old melancholy.
Again the man believed, this time
stronger than ever, that he, his wife
and his children, were doomed to star
vation. Death by the knife and the
gun seemed better to him. He made
up his mind. Rising before his wife
and family had awakened, he quietly,
swiftly thrust the blade Of his knife
into the throats of his children UP to
the handle and cut them from ear to
ear The children evidently never
knew what had happened, for the posi-
tfon Of their bodies suggested at once
the position a child assumes when
asleep.
Wife Made Struggle.
1t is evident, however, that the wife
did not die without struggle. Wheth-
er that struggle occurred before or
after the Staying of the children, no
one can say. But the fact that the
woman's right hand was shot of, by
the same shell that entered her body
and ended her life indicated that she
had placed that hand over the muzzle
of the gun in the last desperate effort
to save herself.
/ A little pool of blood several feet
away from any of the bodies, led Cor
oner Mckenzie to believe that the
woman had been shot there and had
lived long enough to crawl up beside
her babies to die.
With his wife and babies disposed
OF, Lee set about to end his own life
He might have used the knife that lay
within a few feet Of him, stained with
the blood Of his children But the gun
was surer, and the man chose the
more certain, though more difficult
method. He reloaded the gun, re-
moved the shoe and sock from his
right foot, placed the butt of the gun
on the floor and the muzzle in his
mouth and with the great toe of the
bare foot, pulled the trigger. He fell
backward, striking his head against
