An Aued Puppy.


The old farmer had been hailed be-
fore the magistrate to show cause why
he hadn't taken out a license for a
pet terrier.
"Whoy, he's nobbut a puppy" he
exclaimed in defense.
Yes, yes, so you say" said the
clerk. But how old is he?"

reply. Il never was much good at

Grand Opera Climax.

Little Isabelle is very fond of music
and never misses an opportunity 10
attend a concert or hear music in any
form. One afternoon some days ago
her mother took the little girl to call
on friend who owns a music box. For
the killings benefit the music machine
was started and the hostess went
through her list of records from Its
Il Long Way to Tipperary" and Take
Il Little Tip From Father" to THE
Jewel Song from Faust" The last
record was the "Miserere" from III
Trovatore." and as everyone knows
1t is tuneful selection in spite of the
mournful name. The grand climax of
the selection, with all the opera stars
singing their best, appealed to little
Isabelle especially and she sat with
wide-open eyes and ears until the last
note died away. Then she cried Gee,
mamma That sounds just like
glorfied cat-fght. '-Brockton Enter

LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers Of Labor Give Cor
cisI Endorsement to the Daylight
Saving Proposition.

Inquiries in the leading centers OF
industry indicate that the operation OF
the summertime act Is. among other
results. having the effect of increasing
the output in shipyards and engineer
ing works. says the London Times On
the northeast coast some of the yards
have been able to- arrange additional
spells OF daylight overtime. and in
other establishments there has been
an increase in output owing to the fact
that there are in the aggregate a large
number OF extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid of
artificial light and with iessened
sense of fatigue.
III statistics can be kept which will
enable comparisons to be instituted be-
tween the output of the present sum-
mer and the corresponding period Of
last year il is believed that the com
parison will be all to the advantage of
the present year.
Additional evidence of the benefit Of
the act from the Industrial standpoint
comes from the railways. 1t has been
stated in the official organ of the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen that the
alteration of the clock has been fol-
lowed by an Improvement in the work
ing of long-distanCe light goods trains.
1t has been found that the extra hour
of daylight has enabled the trains to
be made up and loaded in less time,
and there is Il general feeling in rail-
way circles that the summertime act
should come Into permanent operation,
as il would enable the work of railway
goods yards TO be conducted with
greater rapidity and safety.
n POINT which seems to appeal to the
men who are on an eight-hour shift is
that, whatever the turn Of duty TO
which tley are assigned, they either
begin or finish work in daylight. This
may seem to be a small and unimpor-
tant matter, but the fact that il has
caused comment among n large body
Of workers reveals an unexpected di-
rection n which putting working hours
in advance of solar time has proved
beneficial.

TRAINING FOR YOUNG ESKIMO
United States Government Doing Good
Work in the Northwestern Dis
tricts of Alaska.

When fat little Eskimo wanders
out of his fathers igloo these days
he isn't allowed to pass his time with
the child reindeers nor in the free and
philosophical contemplation of seals
and penguins.
Instead Uncle Sam grabs him and
puts him to school. The bureau of
education of the department of the
interior maintains public schools for
the EskimOs Of the northwestern dis
tricts of Alaska.
School republics and school gardens
are established by the government.
There are cooking classes, classes in
carpentry and the usual elementary
school instruction.
The psychology of RENDERS, now
best to rear. guard and train them
also is part of the government in
struction. Boys who are specializing
along this line are apprenticed as
helpers with the government reindeer
herd for four years.
Walter C. Shields, superintendent Of
the work of the bureau of education,
tells in the Eskimo. a publication is
sued at Nome, Alaska, by the teach
erS of the Eskimo schools, how closely
the school instruction fits into the
needs Of the Eskimo villages:
"The school republic becomes the
village council, the school garden is
soon the village garden, the cooking
class becomes the bread-baking class
boys class becomes the boat and sled
building center for the village, and,
most remarkable of all, the apprentice
reindeer herder becomes the trained
herder, the supporter of his family
and future leader of his people"

SHOW ORIGINALITY IN STYLE
Seasons Pattern Effects Certainly
Novel, Whatever Else May Be
Thought of Them.

Upon going the round of the shops
there is one thing noticeable about the
winter models in clothes and their ac-
cessOries, and that is the new effects in
patterns. Sometimes they are startling,
sometimes merely different, but always
they are novel. When, for example,
one sees an evening gown, designed
probably for the most elaborate affair
of the fall season, bloSsOming forth in
all kinds of fantastic Chinese embrOid-
cry, one wonders if the impressioniSts
are, after all, the most extreme of mod
ern schools of art. And when one sees
tiny quadrupedS and miniature trees
on the new wells the effect is arresting.
TO say the least. Some of the latter. in
stead of going SO far as the above
mentioned animals, content themselves
with a bee or spider, which crawls
nonchalantly across the wearer's face.
and others affect extreme simplicity
until their endurance gives out, where
upon the border of the veil becomes n
revelry of figures, patterns and designs.
And so, from all appearances, whatever
the coming season may hold in the way
of beauty, in the matter OF originality
il certainly is net backward.

OpaIized Woods of Montana.

While people everywhere have
heard of the wonderful petrified for
ests of Arizona, few of them are aware
of the existence of another petrifed
forest in Montana of equal extent
The latter is held to be much more re-
markable in many ways than the Ari-
iona forests.
The petrified forests in the South
west are chiefly extraordinary by rea-
son of the fact that entire trees have
by the action of the elements under,
gene transformation into agate. The
Montana forest is more extraordinary
because the trees have been changed
into opal, instead of agate, thus max
ing very peculiar and beautiful or

PUT UNITED STATES FIRST
Have Nothing in Common With
People Across the Border.

Ii is absurd to talk about any COM
munity of interest, sympathy or fell
low feeling for old Mexico Mexicans
among the native people of this state.
They have absolutely nothing in COM
mon and the average New Mexico
Spanish-American doesn't take kindly
to being classed in the same category.
The New Mexico natives live "close
to the soil"; they are intensely local
in their affiliations and their loyalty
Is based simply on the fact that their
home Is the United States. New Mex
leo is their home state and they live
largely in the same spot where their
forefathers have lived for centuries.
With Mexico they have 10 more ties
than with any other foreign country,
save that they speak the same Ian
guage. The fact that the native peo-
pie have furnished three companies Of
the National Guard at the border and
that the SpaniSh-American company in
Santa Fe went off with larger initial
number of recruits than any other
company in the state ought to be suf-
ficient answer to these intimations.
a weil-knOwn wool grower declared
that in the lambing season. when a
large extra number of hands is en-
ployed. he never uses old Mexico labor
for the reason that the poems are lazy
and inefficient and never get along
with the native New Mexico labOrers
by reason of the deep-seated antipathy
of the latter to the Mexicans.-Santa

MATADOR DOOMED IN MEXICO
General Carranza Puts Ban on Bull
fights in the Southern
Republic.

General CarranZa has acted for the
betterment of Mexico by issuing a de-
cree abolishing bullfighting. long re-
garded as the national sport of Mexico.
The decree states the government Is
under obligations 10 stamp out Gus
toms which are opposed to culture.
and 10 aid civilization by elevating the
moral level of the people. 1t de-
nounces bullfights as needlessly en-
dangering the lives of men, torturing
beasts, provoking sanguinary senti-
ments and disgracing the country.
Then what a commentary on the
poor of Mexico follows Immediately
after the [ nunciation of bullfighting
the decree adds that bullfights cause
misery to the poor, who. for n mo-
ment's enjoyment, go without the nee
essaries of life. This, remarks the FL
PasO (Tex.) Herald, is an admission
that the masses of Mexico are willing
TO deprive themselves of food and
clothing TO enjoy something which is
a disgrace to the country.
1LlS TecdllS statement aScrlDeu 10
the late President DiaZ, who, when
asked once whom the people of Mexico
would elect for president if allowed an
unrestricted exercise of the ballot, is
said TO have replied: "Bombito, the
bullfighter"
There may have been some truth in
the alleged interview, or it may be
wholly fictitious. If at all true. ii IL
illustrates the hold which the so-called
sport has had upon some Mexicans,
especially the lower classes.
