Petrified tooth picks are the latest
souvenirs at the Adamana Hotel.
Ihey are usually presented by the
waiter de hotel just after the Painted
Dessert" is served.
Mrs. W. o. Morgan received a
telegram from Muscotah, Kansas,
stating that Mrs: Mary A. Johnson.
her mother. was dying and to come
at once. Mrs Johnson has been sick
since last October with diabetes.
Mrs. Morgan left last Tuesday to be

| Mr.. Robert Birdswell, one of Mrs.
Jas. Donahoe's COW punchers out at
CATALONIA is setting an example of
thrift that if persistently followed
will soon establish that estimable
young gentleman at the head of at
| least one household AS is the GUS
| tom with most all COW guardians he
works the usual eight hours for the
Col. q mean eight hours before
dinner and eight hours after dinner)
Mr.. Jas. Donahoe and family. the
Zuni Oil Company and family and
Mr.. S. e. Taylor all juorneyed over
to the cottonwood seeps south and
east OF Adamana ostensibly for an
outing and to get away from business
| cares for time. That seems fair
enough, and yet there may be another
reason for this journey. There is
legend among the Navajo Indians
that if an eclipse occurs just at mid
night April 21st just as the moon en-
ters the eclipse those cottonwood
! rt n
per cent rye whiskey and will con-
tinue to seep the "Hootche' as long
as the moon is in an eclipse. l guess
you know what | mean 1t does not
| really seem probably than an Irish
man would drag his party 40 miles
through all this heat and sand just
to watch them fight mosquitoes and
drink seep water. Do you know one
| that would?
| A young matron of Adamana who
| signs herself Malaria is asking us

sometime ago Mr.. l.. J. Mcclure has
been installed as our stationary
agent here, that Is we hope he will
be stationary as this bumbing busi-
ness around here Is making our peo-
| pie very nervous. Mr.. Mcclure is
now and has been ever since he was
born a batchelor. You will please
note this. "Canny" Scott did not
bid in the Adamana Agency during
| Leap Year 1870. Does not that look
| like he had our girls number and
intend to remain bachelor? "Oh,
! If we could have had him here dur
ing Leap Year." one girl was heard
| to exclaim Another one has noted
the fact that his Maxwell car was
built for two and our merchant says
| that sale of Hope Chests has in
creased by leaps and bounds. Oh
well, there can be lot happen in a
year you know.
| Miss Alexander of the Stanford
University of California and who
specializes in technology, has return
ed to California after two weeks
spent in this locality examining and
| classifying the wonderful Ichnolites
took home a plaster cast Of the foot
of very interesting specimen which
she classified as an exnihilOnifit, and
from the looks of the plaster cast OF
his foot this bird was no Cinderella
to say the least The cast showed IL
toes and each one looked as big as
a California ham. Miss Alexander
said according TO his structure he
lived on grass and water alone, stat
ing by comparison that he could have
eaten at one meal as much as all OF
Mai Jensen's cattle could have eat
en- in a week. She was asked what
she knew about the Major and his
cattle. She blushed and said why,
the Major used to rope her father
turkeys when he first began to prac-
tice as a cow boy 38 years ago back
in Milwaukee, Arkansas.
Mr.. M. J. Glossy, our second trick
operator here, claims he is working
under great difficulties this week on
account of running splinter under
the nail of the forefinger of his right
hand which he says is his main
typewriter" finger. Wonder if M.
J. has been scratching his head.
We received a message from Mrs.
w O. Morgan, who is now in Musco-
tab, Kansas, stating that her mother
Mrs Mary A. Johnson, has passed
away Mrs. Morgan's telegram did
not say whether she reached her
bedside before she passed away or
not.
Now, Mother, you are gone, what can
we do,
There is no one on earth to take
the place Of you.
Through these years of strife and woe
How kind and patient you have been
No one can know;
But your memory will live through
All the Years to Come,
Till we meet you again in your
Heavenly Home
