Carrizozo News: Frank a. Hubbell, OF
Albuquerque, candidate for the Republican
nomination for United States senator, came
in Tuesday and spent the evening withNhis
~poIitical friends-and some who we're not
his political friends-in the interest Of his
candidacy.
The following day he left for the lower
part Of the county to see how his fences
were in that section. Naturally, the Repub-
iicans are not any too communicative to a
Democratic editor, but from the best infor4
nation obtainable 1t would appear that Mr..
Hubbell had the inside track with the dele
gates from this county; II he doesn't in fact
leave Senator Catron at the rpie.

HONEST MAN is HAPPIEsT
Conduct, Character and Prosperity Are
Three Things Generally Found
In Conjunction.

We have noticed the happiest man
many time. He works for his living
and he gets good one. One thing
we notice is he is a man of fine hab-
its; doesn't squander a cent He saves
his money and is getting ready to buy
some property. He loves his home,
plays with the children, reads good
books and keeps company with his
wife. Because of his good habits he
saves a little, which will give him a
chance to make an investment.
And there is another thing-he is
reliable man. He does good work
He will not smooth over bad work. He
is honest In whatever he does. Every
dollar he gets represents just that
much honest labor. 1t is this, largely,
that makes him prosperous and happy.
Water keeps its own level, and so
does conduct and character and pros
perity. If man is mean and low, so
will the consequences be. He cannot
be one thing and his experience an
other. A low-lived man may grow rich
and happy, but it will not be for long.
Anybody can tell what's the matter
With a man If he is with him day;
he will soon see If the other is a
spleen, a stomach, an uplift or hope.

Broughton, encountered his old sweet
heart. The guests laughingly made 2
ring around them and the two, after
an uncomfortable moment, shock
hands. In that moment all resentment
died out of Dams heart, and he de-
termined to make more of himself so
that he could some day hope to win
her again.
Dams story was known to every
one. He had secured a place in the
Phoenix Insurance company, and now,
at Twenty-Five, was already assistant
manager, drawing some three thou
sand dollars. It had been a meteoric
rise. Dams return was day of pride
to North End.
But that Miss Broughton was draw
ing five hundred dollars weekly stag
gered everybody, and Dan not least.
Dan had gone to good many theaters
In New York, and he had never heard
of Miss Broughton.
I'm sure l congratulate you." he
said to her, and any touch of doubt
was swept away by the frankness of
her smile.
Thank you," answered the girl.
And my congratulations to you Also"
They had both planned to leave by
an early train the following morning.
Dan had perfofce the task of seeing
Miss Broughton aboard. When the
tram had started, and North End was
only memory, the girl turned to him
and said;
Il suppose you knew that / was not
telling the truth about myself?"
Dan was startled. Il own did sus-
pect,' he admitted. But afterward 1
had implicit faith in you. You are not

zeppeIIns Built Since the War.

According to a dispatch from Berne,
Switzerland, there are now some
eighty Zeppelins in the German
service This statement is said to
be based on information developed at
Friedrichshafen, where the airship
works are located. Recently one Of
the latest type Zeppelins made trial
flight. 1t bore the number LZ-95, and
in design varied considerably from the
ante-bellum Zeppelins It's gondolas
are said to be of plated steel The
craft is plentifully supplied with ma
chine guns and apparatus for throw
ing bombs and aerial torpedoes;
among the latter being new type
which is reported to be far more pow
erful then any heretofore developed.
In fact, rumor has it that the new
aerial torpedo is to play prominent
part in the event of the German war

their sheltering harbors and engaging

Would Abolish Stamps.

One of the most easily effected
economies in the postal service, not
only of Germany. but Of any country,
would be the abolition of the postage
stamp, the Neuste Nachrichten Of Mu-
mich points out. 1t recommends the
substitution of a ranking machine for
the postage stamp. and remarks that
this change would save Germany near
ly S25, 100000 year.
The ranking machine by single
operation would not only imprint the
letter with device indicating that the
postal charges had been prepaid, but
would also put on the postmark and
obviate the necessity of using the can
ceiling machine. This method is al
ready used in Bavaria and in New zea-
land, while the German field post has
taught the people of Germany that the
change is entirely practicable. THE
postage stamp" concludes the Mach
richten, though a great invention, is
now obsolete. Germany has invented
the ranking system, and by develop
ing it, she will be doing civilization a
great service

Some famous savant has declared
that before another hundred years
have passed the cities and towns OF
the world will be engulfed in vast
chasms filled with fire from the center
of the earth. The late Grant Allen
prophesied such thing in one of his
books He pointed out in cold print
that many parts of the earth's sur
face are as thin as a match box, and
that one Of these thin spots is in the
Thames valley near Cookham, away in
merry England. The earth there, &C
cording to the writer, opened suddenly
In gigantic assure miles long. whence
millions Of tons of lava gushed out and
poured down the valley. When the
food was over the towns near the
Thames, as well as London itself, were
covered with rapidly congealing lava
which turned them into an immense
desert 'Finis." Oscar Frichet, in Ma
tional Magazine.

Justice. Then prosnerItv

The difference between the men in
office now in city, in state and in fed
eral government, and those men in
office 20 years ago, in those rather
narrow but controlling areas of our
politics where there are actually
marked differences, lies not in mat
tiers of honesty, not in matters of ca
pacity, not in matters of party faith.
The real difference is found in their
philosophy Of life, William Allen
White writes in the New York hide
pendent. The political leaders of ma
jorities in the eighties and nineties
of the last century believed in BUSH
ness for itself, that prosperity was an
end of itself. Today our governments,
city, state and national, are more or
less under the control of men who all
profess, and who in the main believe
that justice is more important than
prosperity. And the politicians are
only taking their cure from the peo-
pie. A sense of justice-with here a
backset, and there a reactions
growing steadily and overwhelmingly
in the American heart.

Old street names In London often
assumed strange forms through pop
ular corruptions. Gutter lane, for in
stance, was named after its owner,
who happened to be one Guthurun. A
tiagrant example was Hangman's
Gains, by the Tower, "a strange cor
ruption," as Strype tells US, for
Hammes and Guynes, where the poor
tradespeople of Hammes and Guynes
were allotted to dwell after Calais and
those places were taken from the Eng
lish." Many years ago, in Pentonville,
there was Dobbin's place, and that
homely Dobbin's was but DiAubigny
upon English tongues.
In some CASES it is possible to trans
form an ugly road name into some
thing quite pleasant, and even roman
tic, without much difficulty. There is
the steep road which runs up from
Parliament Hill Fields to Highgate. 1t
used to be known as Swins's lane, ac-
cording to local antiquarians. Now
adays the Cockmey may pronounce it
much as before when he takes his
ticket on the tram from Holborn. But
the spelling is different-Swain's Lane.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

7. ,
When Lizzie Broughton refused Dan
Lewis, because she wanted career
upon the stage, and duly left her
fathers house in North End for New
York, Dan moped for a while. Then
he took off his overalls and laid down
the plow and announced that he, too,
was going to New York-not to seek
Lizzie, who had duped him. but to
carve out career likewise.
His appearance was made at spas
modic intervals, and he always came
home in a new suit and seemed partic-
ularly flush with his money. But on
none of these occasions did he hear
anything Of Lizzie.
1t was not till the summer of 1916,
five years after her disappearance,
that Lizzie returned. Her father was
dead, and her mother, who had been
notified by wire, prepared to welcome
the prodigal daughter.
Behold Miss Broughton in the most
stylish of gowns that staggered Main

FORTUNATE OF EARTH

Probably the Most Precious Gift That

Sort of all sorts of fortunate folks.
You are the sort that the children talk
to in the street. And the reason that
the person the children talk to in the
street is so very fortunate is that
they tell him things that nobody else
ever hears, and very good things to

easy to understand that this talk of

sure, 1t is only the fortunate person
who hears it that can really under

1t does not matter. The talk NAV

you'll miss it anyway l bet got the

good luck I'd been a girl and then l
wouldn't have to fight all the time"

coincide with the plans of the Chinese

Doctor Goodnow's famous memoran.

is an example of the use that was
made Of foreign advisers. He wrote
this as an academic discussion of the

their salaries In return for valuable
papers on various needed reforms
