HER DESCRIPTION WAS LUCID
1t Was Funny Hardware Clerk Couldn't Think Sooner What She
 Wanted, but Couldn't Name

She stood before the hardware coun- ter in the department store and her eye had q wandering look. It took in at glance the various things dis played on the counter and then it wan dered to the shelves.
 ''What can I show you?" asked the girl behind the counter.
 'That's what I am trying to think of. l meant to write the name down before I left home, but didn't, and i can't remember. Anyhow, it's one of these little doOdads that are three of four things in one, you know. A kind of a thingum-a-jig that part of it folds up and-don't you know what mean? One of these little jiggers that you are sure to find in every kitchen table drawer, or ought to find there, for they come in handy in so many ways and you-a funny little contraptiOn that you can do as much with as you can with a hairpin. It's a combina- tiOn thingum-bob-an don't you know what l mean? It is funny you don't get the idea of it. Being in a store where you are probably selling them every day. I should think you would know right off what I mean. It's the commonest sort of little rinktum. a combination affair that you open cans and pull out corks with and--''
 You mean a combination cork screw?''
 That's it I knew I would remem- Der the name of the little jigger, if I put my mind to it. Thank you. Yes, l am sure it is -a-a what do you call it? That's it! That's it! The very identical little squiggledom was look ing for. Funny you didn't remember the name of it sooner"

TO WRITE ON MOVING TRAIN
Railroad Conductor, Who Knows the Trick of It, Holds Elbow Firmly
 Against His Side.

Writing legibly on a fast moving train is difficult to a person unaccus- toned to it. The railroad conductor knows the trick of it and manages to get along quite satisfactorily. Ne prefers to write in a standing posi- ton and holds his right elbow firmly against his side. The reason for this is that in a sitting posture there is too much lateral movement in the trunk of the body, while in a standing position this is more easily controlled.
 When the. arm swings freely, as in ordinary writing, several joints of the body are affected in the process, each of which is capable of it's own motion. Holding the elbow against ones ribs breaks these motion tendencies, ex- cept that of the wrist, which movement is necessary in writing, and thus the pencil or pen is more easily con trolled.

 issue appears the official of the meeting of the trustees of the Holbrook district, which was held last Saturday night. It will be noted by reading these minutes that the corps of teachers for next year has been selected. In this list the names of three of the teachers who held posi- tions in the schools last year do not appear. Prof. Kemp, Miss Clack and Miss Traf- ton were not re-employed. The necessity of cutting the salary list is given as the reason for employing other teachers than Prof. Kemp and Miss Clack. Whether or not the change will prove satisfactory will probably be determined by the future.

anybody follows him or not. Just at
present the rotund senator isn't at all
positive that he will be allowed to
remain in his seat in the senate long
enough to lead anybody anywhere,
tor his republican opposition in the
recent election, w. H. Chrisman, has
given notice of contest, and Mr..
Barth has no great faith in the desire
of the republican majority to have
him among those present during the
session. In conversation recently Mr..
Barth declared that he had no in
tention of renting a house in Santa
Fe for the session, but that on the
other hand he had engaged one room
at the Montezuma hotel for one week
beginning January 8. After that, he
said, he expects to resume his law
practice in Albuquerque.
DR., Skeen of Eddy county, who
took a prominent part in the last
house, is likely to assume a similarly
commanding position in the present
senate. Melvin T. Dunlavy of Santa
Fe looms up as one of the conspicu-
Gus figures on the democratic side, as
does also L. c. Mersfelder, of Curry
county. There should be no lack of
intelligent leadership on the part Of
the minority in the senate if the
democrats will only put forward their
best man and follow him.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, Jan. s.
Villa was defeated at Jimenez yester-
day by Gen. Francisco Murguia with
loss of 1900 rebel dead wounded
and captured, with the noted rebel
leader, Martin Lopez and another Villa
general among the slain, according to
an official report received here to-
night from the Carranza commander
Villa and his under-chief, SalaZar,
were said to be fleeing toward El
Vale in an automobile, closely pur-
sued by government troops.
General Murguia states that his
command pushed back Villas troops
five miles after coming into contact.
Machine guns are credited with play
ing an important part in the offensive,
in which both cavalry and infantry
were heavily engaged. Villa, accord
ing to the report personally led re-
peated cavalry attacks against Muir
guia's infantry, which were checked
with heavy losses.
Besides Villas heavy losses in men,
horses, ammunition, arms and other
war material, General Murguia claims
the recovery of many carloads of the
loot brought by the Villa troops from
Torreon.
Government cavalry is said to have
killed about fifty members of Villas
bodyguard, which is protecting him in
his escape by automobile.
General Murguia advises his subor-
dinates here that he intends to keep
up hot pursuit, as Villas forces are
badly disorganized, The general di-
rection of the retreat Of the scattered
bands is toward Parral, where he said
he expected to make a stand.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 5.--De facto
Mexican government troops under
Gen. Francisco Murguia deCisively
defeated a revolutionary force under
personal command of Francisco Villa
near Jimenez yesterday, according to
Eduardo Bravo, Carranza consul, who
announced that he had received the
news in a message from Chihuahua

We're killed and taken prisoners, the
message said.
Jimenez, where the battle took
place, is so miles south of Chihuahua
City, on the main line of the Mexican
Central railroad 1t is fifty miles
south of Santa Rosalia, where Gen
eral Murguia was reported to have es-
tablished his field base for his cam
paign against the Villa forces advanc-
ing from the direction of Bermejillo.
No estimates of the losses on either
side were given in the brief official
report received at the Carranza con-
sulate here tonight, but the villas loss
es in killed, wounded and prisoners
taken We're said to be heavy. Many
elements of war were captured by
General Murguias column, the dis
patch added.
Reports of fighting somewhere
south of Chihuahua City were re-
ceived at El Paso by government
agents today, but the exact location of
the engagements could not be ascer-
tanned, Villa sources claimed fighting
was in progress today at Bachimba

SPECTACULAR FIRE IN
JOLIET PENITENTIARY

Joliet ILL.,, Jan. 5.-A spectacular
fire in the state prison enclosure here
tonight destroyed two buildings used
in the manufacture of chairs. Seven
teen hundred convicts, locked in their
cells behaved with exemplary oisci-
pline, according to Warden Zimmer,
although for a time it was a question
Whether the flames would be checked
as the only water supply was from a
big well in the prison yard.
The prison is outside the city linz
Its and the prison fire company of
seventy-five was at first assisted by
many other convicts, until the arrival
of firenen from the city. The shops
were of flimsy wood construction and
efforts of the firemen were confined
to prevent the spread of the flames.
The principal loss was about $50,-
600 in. machinery. The great danger
lay in fear that the supply of water
in the well would become exhausted.
The supply held out, however, and ul-
was augmented by long
connection made with a city water
main.

The Rumanian province of DObrud-

powers, whose armies continue to ad-
vance through Great Wallachia into
Moldavia.
Braila, an important commercial
city IN Great Wallachia, and on the
west bank of the Danube below Ga
latZ, has been captured by German
and Bulgarian troops. Several viii
lagos on the outskirts of Braila also
have been occupied and Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's troops have taken
1,400 prisoners in their latest success.
Virtually all of the Danube, from
its source to it's mouth now is in the
hands of the Teutonic forces, who con-
troll all of the eastern bank and all
but few miles of the western bank.
Galatz, twelve miles north of Braila,
is the only important Rumanian town
on the Danube yet in Rumanian
hands. The clearing of Dobrudja by
the combined Bulgarian, Turkish and
German forces, it is reported semi
officially from Berlin, leaves larger
part of those forces ready for other
employment and closes to Russia the
Dobrudia pathway to Constantinople.
