Enouah Said.

A railroad lawyer who has had much
to do with human nature says: Never
cross-question an Irishman from the
old sod" And he gave an illustration
from his own experience.
A section hand had been killed by
an express train, and his widow was
suing for damages. The main witness
swore positively that the locomotive
whistle had not sounded until after
the whole train had passed over his
departed friend.
"See here, McGinnis," said l, "you
admit that the whistle blew?"
"Yis, sor, it blew, sor."
"Now, if that whistle sounded N
time to give Michael warning, t'e .,s1t
would be in favor of the company,
wouldn't it?"
"Yis, sor, and Mike would be testify

of Texas, and taking in three little
settlements near the border-Glenn
Springs, Boquillas and Deemers-took
place on Friday night and Saturday

Within an hour preparations had
been made for adequate action. Major
General Funston ordered that in all
four troops of cavalry should proceed
to the raided section to reinforce small
detachments already on the scene from
Presidio and other convenient points.
These troops got under way at once.
1t was said here that if the exigency
of the case demands such action they
will cross the border in order to run
down and disperse the bandits.

men made their fight for life against

Cheney RECORD.
Report Of tho Legislative Gem
mittee on the Secretary Of
State.

The members of the legislative
investigating committee, appoint
ed to examine various depart
ments of state, were unanimous
in their findings on the office of
Secretary of State Cornelius
Roach, now a candidate for gov
ernor. After having had the as
sistance of expert accountants,
the committee said:
Your committee finds that the
clerical force employed in the Of
flee of the Secretary of State was
authorized by law and by specific
appropriation to cover the same,
and that no new positions have
been created in that office, or
salaries raised, except as author
lied by law and by appropriations
made to cover the same"
The total expenses Of the Sec
rotary of State s department dur
ing the last full term, 1909 to 1912
inclusive, We're $77,O00.00 less
than they were the years 1905 to
1908 inclusive, and the receipts
during the years 1909 to ~ in
elusive were, in round. numbers,
1920, 100000 greater than the term
preceding"
"The earnings Of the office of
the Secretary Of State for the two
years 1913 and IA were practical
ly the same ($S30,000.00) as the
total earnings of the office during
the four years 1905 to '08 inclus-
i've; and these practically equal
receipts lin half the time) were
obtained (by Roach) at a dimin-
ished expense Of $61, 100000"
Your committee finds and re-
ports that the office of the Sec
rotary of State is being efficient
ly, economically and carefully
managed and conducted, and that
it has no suggestions to make
which it belives would make the
service better to the public and
for the State and at less expense
than now conducted"
