DICK PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN
ON ACCOUNTS.
CHAPTER 4.

CHAPTER 4.
From things Dick had told me
i knew he was n favorite with botr
members of the firm for whom he
worked. l was constantly think.
ing how could turn this liking tC
account.
" 1t seems to me they have beer
awfully slow about giving you that
raise you talk about" / said tC
DICK about six months after we
We're married. "IHow much do
you think it will be whom you get
it?"
THE Lord only knows" Dick re-
piled. Il hope at least $25 a
month";"
THAT isn't much of a raiseI
They should give you $50 anyway"
l had no slightest idea of Dick s
value to them; | knew absolutely
nothing of this. or of any, business.
Girls brought up as l was are sin
gularly ignorant Of business affairs
or methods.
They won't do that, Dear, so
don't think about it,
Then why don't you work for
someone who can appreciate you ?"
So 1t went. And had it not been
for Dicks good disposition we
would have quarreled. But 1t takes
two, as we all know, to quarrel at
all successfully, and he simply
would not get cross.
| don't think he thought / meant
half l said when | grumbled about
not having things. But l did, every
single word of it. And because he
wouldn't get cross but only laugh
ed at me and petted me, / proba
bly, thought more about it, espe-
cially when alone, than if he had
become angry and scolded me,
As soon as l unpacked | went to
call on Clara Watson. Her apart
ment was lovely. At least | thought
so and expressed such envy that
she said: ...r
There is just one other vacant
in the building. Why don't you
make Dick take it?" .Ii
"Oh, how wish | could!l an

Clara's rooms were all outside,

WHO is EMBARRASSING BURsUM?

very good friend of the Journal, who is
also a friend of Senator Bursum, ohdes for
embarrassing the senator the Sec. Romero
in -prospecto appointment U. s. marshal
We fail to how embarrassing the
senator. We that. if the reports are true
and he intends to press the appointment of the
idol" he does because he believes it to be
politically expedient and that he is willing to
stand consequences. No one can conceive of any
reason except political eXpedency for considering
the idol" Certainly merit does not enter into
the matter
1t would be entirely futile for to protest
"after the fact" The harm would be done then
to the people and to the record of the senator.
The way to save both the people and the record
to try give sufficiently forceful expression to
public sentiment to prevent the appointment
The senator's friends ought to rush to the
defense of Sec if they think him worthy of the
appointment. We will give space to a signed de-
Tense from any responsible person in the state
These same friends should rush to the defense
of the senator's recommendation and tell the peo-
pie how they justify such appointment. We
will give space to that also if they will offer it
for publication.
If the state of public sentiment is such
that the appointment is longer expedient, the
senator should abandon his recommendation, IL
he has made Certainly he will do no public
act of which he would be ashamed. If he sui
ports Romero, he certainly has no objection to
it's being known and discussed.
Our assaults on the 'idoP' not assaults
on Senator Bursum. At least, hope there is
no such identity of interests would lead the
senator to regard assault on Romero as an
assault on himself
We are trying to help the public to express
itself until Romero will be impossible, polite
ally, he is personally. This admit:
We going a step farther, however. and
are attempting to arouse the public to point
where politician will regard any such appoint
ment politically expedient. We want to see
public sentiment forbid any such travesties.
Neither the people the Journal care who
is appointed. All interested in is the
standard to which the appointee must measure up.
If the Romero appointment is embarrassing to
Senator Bursum let his friends the state COM
mttee withdraw their endorsement. They are
the who embarrassing Bursum by press
ing him to endorse the appointment. If the sem
ator is supporting Romero rumored it is doubt
less in harmony with the committee recommended
ton While they embarrass the senator by press
ing for such appointment they should not
find fault if the public urges against it.
Wise politicians try to keep up with the
progress of public sentiment. If they fail to do
SO they retired to private life. Public scnti-
ment in New Mexico demands a standard of
intelligence efficiency and integrity in appointees.
Therefore. if politicians wise they will
give heed.

EXPERIMENTING HOUSE.

In the summer time, more than
in the cold months, the house
keeper must be on guard constant
~ against household pests. The
following means of determination
may prove of use to her:
Flies: We all realize, TODAY.
that flies are one of our most
deadly enemies. They carry dis
ease germs on their feet, causing
typhoid fever and other infections.
The house should be we'll screened

side doors to drive away the few
that seek to gain entrance. / tea

water placed in saucers around
the house will kill any that are
already inside. F'lypapers are also
good.
Mosquitoes: These pests have
caused much disease. Malaria, ell
ephantiases, blood poisoning and
yellow fever have been traced di-
rectly to them. Screen the porch

hands, ankles and face (sparingly)
a mixture of oil of cedar and cit
ronella in equal quantities; or
spray this mixture on the skin by
means of an atomizer. And try
to find their breeding places about
the home.
Mosquitoes breed in water -
sometimes in a rain barrel, some
times in ponds and pools, some
tunes In tin cans with water in
them. Drain, or fill in with dirt,
such bodies of water when possi-

put fish into the water, which will

Cockroaches: Dissolve a small

many times when we were first

our sunny rooms and climb the

Vator apartments But Dick never
reminded me of this.
Clara had spent good deal fix

at once that she had new draperies
and several new pieces of furni-
turc.

OF her draperies. "Windows never

But how can you do so much,
Clara?" l asked. 1 knew Jim Wat
son earned very little, if any, more
than Dick.
"Oh, l have charge accounts.
Then / pay what | can and let the
rest lap over onto the next month"
This was a new idea. OF course,

at the stores, but | only knew it in

horror of debt. But New York

we must open some accounts at

To my surprise he kindly but
firmly refused to have any charge

You would think you needed it
at the time but what we can't pay
for we can go without until we
can. No, Nan, we will run no
bills ! wish we could save a little.
We haven't added one penny to
that 5000 we have in the bank

we start trying to save $40

you do the saving then, l can't"

would not allow me to open ac-

"Come, Dear, give me kiss and
then let's eat. I'm ravenous," was
all he said.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

| Chicago, June 9.-Flurried buy
ing shot wheat prices upward S& C
today but the effect was largely
| transient. Demand was due for
the most part to reports of a pos
sible big railroad strike July and
to the government crop report that
the winter wheat yield would be
curtailed $1,000, 900 buehels. The
market closed unsettled, a to &c
net higher with July $1,341a to
$1.35 and September $1.17A to
Site. Corn lost &c to y c to 1c
and oats nc to nc to nc.
Bullish aspects of the govern
ment report brought about a de-
cided upturn when the wheat mar
ket opened. For a while. however,
rushes to buy were held more or
less in check as a result of new
breaks in foreign exchange and be-
cause of weakness in the stock
market Then gossip began to cir
culate that railway employees were
seriously discussing a general tieup
and that the consequences might
be great difficulty in the delivery
of wheat on contracts. especially
during July. Shorts took alarm
and did not stop bidding until the
market for July had gone to
$1.40M, a level within 1c of the
topmost price this season. Subse-
quent downturns We're apparently
due to profit taking by holders and
to advices from Springfield that
proposed anti-pit legislation was
again a factor
Railroad strike predictions were
bearish as to corn, although bull
ish as to wheat, the reason being
that terminal stocks of corn are
heavy, whereas the wheat supply is
light. Oats were depressed by the
government report.
Provisions averaged lower In line
with hogs.
Closing prices:
Wheat July. 1874 N Sept.
$1.17A.
Corn-July, 62hc; Sept. SO &c.
Oats-July, 37hc; Sept, 39%c,
Pork-Juiy, $3.50.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
BOY SCOUTS AND THE SABBATH.
(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatcho

(FrOm the st. Louis POST
One of the reverend gentlemen at the PresDy-
terrain General Assembly, in opposing a vote of
Endorsement of the Boy Scout movement, COM
planned that he had seen automobiles on Sunday
carrying parties with the evident design OF at
tendance upon a dinner to be given by the Boy
Scouts to their parents at a point on the river
near his home. In the compartments solemn
opinion the whole affair bore the susplclonable
aspects of Sunday picnic
Further testimony was offered by church
editor, who, cautionng against hasty Endorsements,
said that he had seen Boy Scouts in the act of
breaking camp Sunday afternoon and that,
after having their Sunday school lesson in the
open, they had topped off with lectures on the
civil and study of the battlefields about
Richmond. Again and again the observer had
been panied with the sight of the boys coming
in with their camp equipment on Sunday evening.
Following this sensational expose, the author
of the recommendation of Endorsement While
standing his ground, suggested that the pastor
their own church all Sunday hikes" and similar
diversions under the open sky.
Every man has right to his own interpreta-
ton of what constitutes the keeping holy of the
Sabbath day, and yet, in the absence of law
on the subject, may commit himself to much
or as little physical and mental misery as he
may deem necessary for the exaltation of his soul
But heaven pity the boys particularly the city
boys born under the ban of a Sabbath rule that
manes of the one business holiday of the week a
day of Imprisonment in durance vile in best suit
and choker while their more fortunate comrades
reye with the spirits of Emerson, Thoreau, Ste
venson and the great company of poets in tho
bosom of nature. Also, may heaven forbid that
the differing adult world be forced, under legal
compulsion OF piety, to share the fate Of these
helpless and p!nng youths .-
