What's the use of man being
good when woman will be called
his better half anyway.
A college professor says that
spanking leaves no mark except on
the memory. Radical change in
spanking since our day, believe us!
A man who made a proposition
to kiss all the good looking women
appearing upon the streets of a
city in this state, was arrested on
the charge of kissing every woman
that he saw. He couldn't find any
that weren't good looking in any
town in this state.
Of course we can refuse to pre
pare for trouble or defense, as Mr.
Bryan advises, and avoid a scrap
for a long time perhaps, but since
we still believe in the Monroe Doc
trine and, in case we do not make
preparations, some other nation
may decide to take a slice of South
America or Canada, for instance,
what can we do about it? If we
are to uphold the Monroe Doctrine
which we have upheld, in one way
or another for a century, how are
we to go about it unless we show
the rest of the world we mean bus
iness. _
The Berlin press agents and the
London war correspondent have a
lot of fun lying about each other.
London prints an article one day to
t ie effect that copper is so scarce
in Germany that even the cooking
utensils have been taken away
from the hausfraus. Then comes
Berlin with the story that not a live
British soldier is to be found at the
Dardanelles, and so the War of
Hate goes on. And the rest of the
world, that portion of it not in
volved in war, laughs at the silly,
school-boyish motives which
prompt this war of the typewriters
—that is, it laughs when it isn't too
busy being horrified at the OTHER
things these nations are doing to
each other.

Recalls to Old Inhabitant Indian Mas*
sacre of Early Days in
New Mexico.
Leo Williams, a prominent rattle
man of the Mimbres valley, and one
of his assistants. Jack Reynolds, were
scouting around in the Goodsight I
mountains adjoining the cattle ranch
of J. G. Kerr at Florida Station, 17 j
miles northeast of Deming, N. M.,:
when they saw under the ledge of a j
rock the end of a bolt of calico. They I
immediately procured tools and com-1
menced to dig, and were rewarded for
their efforts by finding a regular dry
goods store.
Subsequent to the visit of Williams
and Reynolds an exploring party,
consisting of James G. Kerr, Sigmund
Lindauer, Ralph A. Lynd, Leo Wil
liams, Jack Reynolds and Willard E.
Holt, drove to the spot where the dis
covery was made, and upon further
investigation and a few hours’ digging
unearthed gunnysacks, saddle blank
ets, Spanish bridle bits, parts of guns,
a hatchet and various other pieces of
merchandise, including fine hand
made crochet work and laces, the
whole Including a score or more of
bolts of cloth, much of which was in
a fair state of preservation and some
of it just as good as it was the day it I
was hidden.
The unearthing of this supply of
merchandise recalls to Sigmund Lin- |
lauer, one of the veteran merchants |
of Deming, who is known all over the ]
southwest, the fact that 35 years ago j
:here occurred in the Magdalena can
on, about eight miles from the scene i
if this discovery, a massacre by
Vpacbe Indians under the leader
slap' of Chief Victoria. According" to
Mr. Lindauer's memory of the trag
edy, an ox wagon train was en route
from the Rio Grande valley to Silver
City with a consignment of goods. It
appears that the entire party was
massacred.
After the massacre, which, accord
ing to all indications was a total de
struction of the entire wagon train,
the goods were taken to this secluded
spot and buried under the overhang
ing rock, the first covering being na
tive hay and the second covering
sotol weeds and lastly about a foot of ;
earth. Evidently the Indians left the
end of one bolt of cloth sticking out
to mark the spot where their plunder
was buried.
The history of the Indian raids tells
of the subsequent killing of this band
of Apaches, although their leader was
allowed to live several years there- ]
after. Chief Victoria was a terror to
the Southwest prior to the time the :
notorious Geronimo and his depreda- j
ticns formed a part of the history of
the Apache tribes.
Unusual Loquacity,
“Here this author begins bis storv,
The wagon groaned as it crept up
he bill.’ ”
•'Now, that’s strange.”
“What’s strange?”
“About the wagon’s protest. It has
, tongue, but yet it was the wheel
poke.”
Precocious Infanta.
Gyer—Some of those biblical char
.cters must have been precocious in
ants.
Myer—What’s the explanation?
Gyer—Well, take Job, for example,
’he good book informs us that ae
ursed the day he was born.
True Economy ...
means the wise spending of one’s money—making every dollar do full duty
and getting in return an article that will satisfy you in every way.
Th‘ . WHITE .
is a real bargain because it is sold at a popular
price; because it gives you the kind of sewing
you delight in; because it will turn out the work
quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time
of satisfactory service; because its improvements
will enable you to do things which can’t be done
on any other machine; because it will please you
with its fine finich and beauty of its furniture.
In short you will find the White reliable and
desirable from every point of view.
oe sure to see tne white dealer who will be glad to show you how good a
machine the White is. If there is no White dealer handy, write us direct for cat
alogs. We do not sell to catalog houses. Vibrator and Rotary Shuttle Machines.
