SIoth and Diligence.

Sloth said to Diligence: "You work
too hard. For two days now you have
been busy blowing that field. | hear
Ingenuity has invented a pillow driven
by steam Why not get one to pillow
for you while you sit with me in the
shade and enjoy life?
Diligence bought the pillow which
would pillow field in fraction of the
time it had taken him to do it. But
instead Of sitting in the shade he put
more land into cultivation. and it took
all his time to attend to the pillow and
see that it worked properly.
When harvest time came he had
more to do than ever on account of
the new land he had cultivated.
Harvest over, Sloth went to pay Dill
igence a visit, saying to himself, Nov
he will have a little more time to talk
to me- But he found him comforting
with Ingenuity in regard to larger,
more powerful pillow, that he might
next season put still more land in cul-
tivation.

Pics as Watchdoqs.

In some parts of Mexico the wild
hogs, which the natives call jabalis
(hah-bah-lee), savage beasts in their
natural state, are used at watchdOgs.
II they are caught young and brought
up with goats they will go out into the
hills with the herd and fight off
coyotes or other wild animals; if they
are raised with chickens they will pro-
tect them. and round ranch house at
night they are as useful as any dog.
Although fierce by nature. they can
be tanned until they follow their mas
ter round like a dog. The landlord of
a hotel in one of the border towns
even keeps one of the wild hogs as a
playmate for his baby son.
The jabali is only first cousin. how
ever, to the domestic pig. Swine are
divided into two main branches In
one line is the farmers pig. descended
from the wild hog of Europe. and in
the other is the jabali. which is really
a peccary. But the jabali is quite
piggy" enough with his small flexible
snout. long notified bristles and long
sharp tusks.

waxs of the Butcher Bird.

Some call it the butcher bird, but
the real name is shrike. 1t is one of
the oldest birds we have. because it
represents creature that is changing
it's type. Should you happen to walk
through the country and come across
q thorn tree with a small garter snake
or a mouse impaled on spike you
may know that shrike is around.
Originally the bird was insectivorous
and spent its time eating grasshoppers
and such like Somehow it got taste
of mouse or perhaps a smaller bird
that it killed in a fight 1t liked the
meal, and naturally the bill of fare
was extended to include mice, snakes
and lizards Very foxy is the shrike.
1t had no talons to tear it's prey apart,
so it hit on the plan Of impaling the
victim upon a thorn. where it could
dine leisurely and on the instailment
plan. The butcher bird is about nine
inches long and looks something like
hooking bird. - Philadelphia North

Some Stevenson RecoIIections.

Mr.. Safroni- Middleton. in Sailor and
Beachcomber'' makes : several refer
ences to Robert. Louis Stevenson, whom
he saw on different occasions in Samoa.
In one place he writes:
Stevenson was one of those men
with a keen face that made you feel a
bit reticent until he spoke. and then
you discovered human note in the
voice that put you thoroughly at your
ease. and as he spoke to a German
sailor he picked up my violin and start
ed to try and play some old folk mel
ody. : He seemed fond Of look
ing over the ships side, gazing out to
sea, and up at the stars He was very
friendly with all the sailors. went into
the fo'c'stle, talked to the crew and
was greatly interested in ship life"
In another place he says:
IF had seen and spoken to r. l..
S. without knowing who he was I
should have thought he was a skipper
or mate of some American or English
ship. Hissmanner was easy-in fact,

On SPRINGFIELD.

One of the first things that is
needed just now probably a lit
tie worse than anything alse is a
lumber yard, it being one of the
things for which the commercial
club was organized to secure.
Springfield has a great build
ing territory around it. and ought
to have a s5,oOo.00 lumber yard
to support the trade.
Parties who might be interest
ed in putting i'll a lumber yard
should open up correspondence
at once with the Springfield
Commercial club.
A good dentist is badly needed
in Springfield. Not only is he
needed, but we believe a good
dentist would find this most
desirable location, lie having the
whole county to draw from. The
commercial club would be glad
to give any information of the
matter needed.
We will be wanting olean.
cry in Springfield in the early
future. Irdeed it was for this
one great need for Springfield
and Baca county that the com
nercial club was organized, the
purpose of the club being par
ticularly the securing of a cream
ery md a motor truck lire be-
tween Springfield ard Lamar.
We believe a clothing house in
Springfield, handling both mems S
and women's clothing, carrying
stock of from $4,000 to So,

AS to Items of News.
One Of the Herald's appreciat-
ed readers recently commented
on the absence of news in our
correspondence department, re-
marking that it took up n lot OF
his time without his getting an
equivalent therefor.
This brings up the matter OF
what constitutes news in a news
paper, and also the matter OF
how a newpaper should be read.
In all newspapers there neces-
sarily must be great deal OF
matter that is of no earthly in
crest to great many of their
readers; but all such matter is
wanted and demanded by a GER
ain percent of their readers, and

to such percent such matter
may be the only feature of news
in tie paper that is of any
interest," to them
lake the great 40 to 60 page
Sunday papers, with their score
or more of departments. One
man turns to the editorials; an
other takes in the headlines of the
associated press dispatches;
another cares for nothing but
the sporting news; another
wants sermons and Sunday
! school lessons; another plunges
into the latest fashions; another
dives into the comic pictures and
anecdotes, and so on.
No newspaper, whether in a
local field or of general circula-
ton, could give news of equal
interest to all it's readers. The
correspondence items arc of a
certain interest to certain num-
bel, just as is the sporting news
or "sucieSy" news in a daily.
No one is expected toread ev-
cry item in a correspondents lat
ter. One simply trains his eye
to run down and pick cut
what he wants or What
interests him, ard then
such matter he reads entire.

This is the kind of news the
people are wanting in local pa
per-both those living inside the
county and those outside of it.
They want to know of the life
