RAIN! RAIN! RAINH

One of the incest showers that
it has been the good fortune
of Lordsburg to receive for a
long time began about 800 P. M.
last Monday evening and con-
tinued for nearly two days. 1t
was not a torrential rain, but of
the slow, soaking variety which
so delights the farmer and ran
cher. If it is the beginning of
the rainy season, and is any
forecast of the rains that are to
follow, then they cannot come
too thick. Rains like the one
this week are never unwelcome.
TENAcITY OF PURPOSE.
It does net make very much differ
ence how many failures we make IN
life so long as we refuse to remain
defeated. II we permit our defeats
to make us Indifferent to our welfare
or if we do not take to heart the les.
son they teach naturally we shall new.
er make any Roadway, but If, on the
other hand, we decline to lose u in.
terest in the ends we seek to attain
and profit by each sad experience
there must come a time when we
shall taste success Experience, even
If 1t means failure at times, is the
best discipline possible, and 1t is
largely through our setbacks that we
learn many things which otherwise
would never be revealed. For one
thing we discover hat we are not
nearly so clever as we think we are,
and from this admission It is only a
step to the realization that there are
other persons who are just as clever
and capable as we believe ourselves
to be. One such realization leads to
another and the discipline that each
imposes makes us more familiar with
life as a whole as well as in its bear
ing upon us individually. After a
while we begin 20 understand that
cleverness is not necessary to sue
cess, that often patience and deter
mination and tenacity OF purpose of
themselves accomplish larger results
than mere skillful endeavor unaceom-
panied by intelligent understanding.

In speaking OF the case yesterday
Howard y. Crook. Of the firm that

Last Thursday we had an auditor
here preparing to 90 over the books.
We did not do this because we
suspected Mulhern, as ] would have
been willing to trust him with any
amount OF money, but because we
consider IL a good business PROPOSE
ton to have our accounts audited
once a year. From all we can learn
the books are I'm good shape and there
appears to be no shortage. Mulhern
handled all the cash as well as the
payrolls and we had absolute conf
dence in him.
con Friday. the day after the audi
tor had called. Mulhern said he would
like to go out and do a little Christ
mas shopping He said he would
come back later if he could make IT
That's the last we heard Of him. Sat.
urday morning his wife called up and
wanted to know II we had sent him
out of town on business. She had
/ heard nothing from him since he hat

discussed by Arthur f. Morgan,
president of the Morgan Engineering
Company of Memphis, Tenn. to an au-
dience gathered In the Friends Meet
ing House last night.
Mr. Morgan is now a resident Of
Dayton, Ohio, and is engaged in an en-
cheering work destined to prevent
repetition of such a disastrous flood
as visited Ohio IN March. 1913. He is
chief engineer of the Mama cOnserva-
tory district. He talked entertainingly
of the work he is doing, illustrating
his remarks with many lantern slides
showing the topography Of the cOun-
try, the reason for the disastrous
foods, the damages done at various
times and the immense system Of
dams being built for the purpose OF
holding back the water supply of that
region so that It cannot all run down
the valleys at one time.

WOULD PAROLE PRISONERS
UNDER this LEGISLATION

In a letter to Warden Cross, Of the
County Workhouse. Mahlon B. Foster
outlined plan to permit the parole OF
prisoners whose conduct warrants
the proceeding after about one-fourth
of each sentence has been served. the
plan will be embodied in a bill TO be
presented to the Legislature this
winter.
Among the features Of such a law
it is pointed out that now with the
workhouse so cOngested such plan
would greatly relieve conditions there.
Even if a bill should be passed by the
General Assembly providing for eN'
tensive enlargements to the work
house it might be some time before
the enlargements could be carried out,
and the congestion would not only
cont nuc, but probably would grow
worse.
A plan such as is proposed by Mr.
Foster. it is pointed out would re-
lieve the congestion at once and also
accomplish a great deal Of good in the
way of prison reform.
The letter sent by Mr.. Foster accom-
panied a Christmas gift of 500 cigars
for the male prisoners and % boxes Of
candy for distribution for the women.
