Alfred skeels, who has been in
Gilpin the past several months, was
a visitor to Central last week. He
lad a specimen OF tungsten ore ta-
ken from ground in Boulder county,
which he had located. He filed on
120 acres, north of the Giggey ranch,
in one of the richest sections of the
tungsten belt. Part Of the land was
fenced, which led locators to believe
that it was patented. Mr.. Skeels
looked up the records and found that
it was open to filing and took up 40
acres. He is lucky mortal, to have

TOLD HOW TO ADVERTISE

Dean Thorpe, of the school of
journalism of the University of Kan
sas gave business men at the dinner
last evening very interesting ac-
count of some of his newspaper ex-
periences and some helpful hints on
advertising. His suggestion for sue
cesslul competition with the mail or
der house, was for the merchant not
to appeal to the loyalty of the public
for home patronage, but by means OF
the articles in the store and quote
the comparative prices.
Ninety men of the town attended
the dinner last evening and sixty
seven Of those present signed up for
five more dinners to be given during
the winter. This first gathering was
success from every way. If a prac-
tical man as Thorpe, can be secured
for the coming five dinners. the series
will be the best thing for the mer-
chants that has ever been attempted
or done.
The lecture at the high school by
Mr. Thorpe on Rudyard Kipling as
THE Master Reporter" was very in
structive and showed a deep literary
insight on the part of the lecturer.
The attendance was the largest for
anything of its kind that has ever
been held in the high school.-Abilene

Important features of policies of
reconstruction of new government of
Mexico. as outlined by General Car
rama, include the following: Big in
terests in Mexico are to be made to
pay their just share of taxation;
there are to be no more special priv
ileges; there will be no confiscation
of property merely because it belongs
to wealthy persons; public lands are
to be cut up and sold to poor at mod
crate prices en- easy terms, and if
these are not sufficient to satisfy
poor peoples hunger for land. gov
ernment will purchase from big land
holders and sell on same easy terms !;
lands that have been acquired from
government by fraudulent means
will be taken back and distributed
as are other public lands: there will
be no persecution Of Catholics. but
Catholic clergy viii have to abstain
from politics; American capital is
invited to come to Mexico, but with
out promise of special privilege.

GRADES IN MEXICAN ARMY
American Woman Learned Something
From Visit Paid Her by Detaeh-
ment Of viIIistas.

Some years ago humorous story
went the rounds of the newspapers,
about young lady who, at a gather.
ing OF the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution, held her head
exceedingly high, explaining her
naughty demeanor on the ground that
she was descended from a bona fde
private soldier-the only private, she
was convinced, in the Revolutionary
hosts. The following incident would
seem to indicate that the Mexicans
who are fighting today are almost as
well officered" as the patriot army of
the young lady's lively fancy.
An American woman-now safe in
the states-writes that five soldados of
the Villista following one day rode in
to her remote mountain camp. They
were very decent fellows, and made no
threats; still, in the absence of her
husband, it seemed only wise to give
them plenty of food and drink, also to
yield gracefully to the request of one
of the number, who said he was the
captain. for the loan" of blanket.
Pretty soon second warrior init
mated that he. too. could use blanket
to advantage in his campaigning, add
ing that ne, too, was captain. When u
third made the same request, also an
nouncing his rank as that of captain,
their hostess paused in her distribu-
tion of blankets.
Tell me-" she inquired politely, sis
this entire detachment composed of
captains?"
"Oh. no. senora!" replied the one
who had first spoken. Il am Captain
Primero this is Captain Segundo, and
that is Captain Tercero. Those''-in-
dicating the two remaining-"are the
private soldiers"
And at this the admiring sonora, &C.
cording to her own account, at once
gave a blanket to each of the two
high privates in the rear rank
moved by sympathy with them for DE-
ing captained firstly, secondly, and
even thirdly, and also by admiration of
them as being such rare birds!"-

THE CREED OF SCIENCE

Superstition is net religion. Belief
without evidence is not religion. Faith
without facts is not religion. What
as religion? To love justice, to long
for the right, to love mercy, to pity
the suffering, to assist the weak, to
forget wrongs, and remember bene-
Tits, to love the truth, to be sincere,
to utter honest words, to love liberty
to wage relentless war against slaw-
cry in all forms, to love wife and
child and friend, to make happy
home, to love tie beautiful art. in
mature. to cultivate the mind, to be
familiar with the mighty thought that
genius has expressed, the noble deeds
os all the world, to cultivate courage
and cheerfulness, to make others hap.
Ply, to fill the life with the splendor
OF generous acts, the warmth of gen.
erous words, to discard error, to des-
troy prejudice, to receive new truths
with g,adness, to cultivate hope, to
see the calm beyond the storm, the
dawn beyond the might, to do the
best that can be done and then to
be res'gned,-this is the religion of
reason, the creed of science. This
satisfies the brain and the heart. The
Greed of Science is the best for all
mankind, and there are but six words
which need to be kept before the
worshiper of this creed-truth. liber-
~, courage, love. mercy and pity.
