El Paso OFFICIAL status has been given to the proposed plan for parking the irriga tion canal atrip through the city, and for establishing bathing pools is connection withthe canal improvement, by the action of the board or trustees of the XI Paso Valley Water Users' association at its meeting Wednesday. By formal resolutioa, it was declared the sense of the board that the park and bathing pools ought to be provided; and a committee was appointed to take up the matter with the' city authorities, and with the engineers of the reclamation' service, in order to devise, if possible, a practical plan for carrying est the park and bathing pool project The plan is entirely feasible, as has been often pointed est A park twe miles long and wide enough to justify its improvement and make ftwhoBy practical .for public resort, can be established along the canal rightofway t little expense; and the problem of watering the grass and trees can be taken care of at almost no expense by installing a few elevated tanks, filling them by means of electric pumps, and distributing the water through perforated pipes, hose," or small conduits, as needed. Sachva park would be within two or three minutes x walk of every family in Chihuahcita; it would be the chief recreation ground of nearly half the population of El Paso, and it would be right at the deer, so that men, women, and chHdrea could use it at all times without hardly is the ideal park plan, anyway, instead of the scheme often suggested' in cities, of establishing only one-large park, necessarily remote from the masses of the people. The plan for frse bathing pools is also declared to be practical by the, engineers. The first cost would be reasonable, and maintenance would be almost inconsid erable in compansoa witn ine great uenems to oe uenveo. xiouung mat come. be done to serve the highest welfare of the Spanish speaking population could ""' 0 r t ,.,, please xnem Dexter, or se move universally nserui, pieasuieame, ana neaiisnu mr them, than the proposed canal strip park and bathing pools. It is to be hoped that the project will be "pressed to successful inauguration. o Girls the Better Farmers SEVEHTY-FIVE THOUSAND boys are enroled in the government's "corn dubs" this year. The "corn dabs" are sraaH local organizations of boys in hundreds of localities throughout the union, the members of which under- take competition in corn raising under awarding prices are quantity, quality, sends demonstrators around, who teach pare the ground, how to cultivate, and how to use the crop to best advantage. Hundreds of boys have sent ia records of raising over 100 bushels of corn to the acre, and the highest records run to almost fabulous figures. Through the work and interest of the boys, the elders became interested, and pictures of "corn demonstration day" in various towns and Tillages show tables and booths a block or two long, crowded about with men and women eager to learn more about this splendid practical work of education, that nwaas greater; prosperity to the farmer, and ultimately perhaps a cheaper Irving far the tows dweller. The work of the government with "corn dubs" among beys is effectually sup plemented by the girls' "farm dubs." The gkia were started out in tomato raising and canning, and the southern states were chosen for the field of initial opera tions. But so strongly did the idea appeal to the girls that they did net stop with the program mapped out, but in the two years of dub work under govenuneat supervision they have branched out into many other lines, inctediag poultry ad eggs, and every kind of fruit and vegetable, until the girls' dubs ia Oklahoma this year have canned 90 varieties, more than half as many again as the "57" pickle factory. ' -. Government agents of the agricultural department, who have directed this work, assert that "Girls have more sense than boys," and they cannot see the end of the work that has boom undertaken among them. The, girls prove not only more enthusiastic students, but more faithful workers, and they seem to have a keener sense of the value of time, money, and superior eseeHeuce of product. One girl ia Oklahoma sotted $101 from a. lot 40x100 feet, or about 1-10th yacre. Hhe dreds of others have done almost as welL Over 25,000 girls are enroled in the southern farm dubs, and the number can be indefinitely increased whenever the government sees fit to appropriate sere, money for the educative week and or ganisation expense. Business men estimate the value, this year, of the Oklahoma girls' clubs to the state, in increased agricultural production and stimulation, at sot less than $1,000000. The number of cans of fruit and vegetables actual y "put up" by the girls ia the dubs, and by others as a resuHof their efforts and influence, is esti mated at 15,00a000. The canning works have been an object lesson to grown people. One man. near Oklahoma City had a large orchard off winch he eould sot sell the fruit at a profit, and he was about to abandoB the enterprise whea he happened to attend one of the girls' canning demonstrations. He was) impressed that he invested $150 in a home canning outfit and caaaed all the fruit oa his place. He deaoed up $5000 en the season's work aad decided to retain the orchard. Many of the girls have gone in for poultry raising as well as for canning, and att have made a good showing financially with eggs aad chickens. CBbey have saved waste oa their home places because they have canned fruit aad vegetables that otherwise would sot have been used at alL Clearly there is a suggestion here that; ought to be of value to the El Pas aad Mesflla vafieys. 0 ; When Theft THIRTY carloads of honey- worth $2000 per car were shipped out of the Salt river valley of Arisoaa this year.

In fact the water would be used for every purpose except domestic use. It is calculated that the cost of power would be one eighth of its present cost. It would be used for electric lighting, for the street railway and ether sim ilar purposes. The distance from the Leesburg di version dam to the eement plant, west of this city, is about SO miles.

This canal, 30 miles long, is used for the irrigation of 0,&0 acres. It is 25 feet wide in some parts and from three to four feet deep. It runs down through the Bl Paso valley as far as Fabens. It is proposed by the govern ment to enlarge it before the next ir rigating season, as soon as-' the govern ments take it over. It will also be cleaned and arranged so that It will run through Bl Paso in culverts in stead of being open, as at present. The purchase price Is about S126,M0. Louis C.

Other things came my way, too so cial pleasures, pleasant friends, an en largement of my circle of acquaintance. And then, into the midst of my busy, well filled -life, there came that wet October night. It was late, and horribly cold, with a thick, blinding rain. As I turned on to Westminster bridge. Big Ben began to strike the hour of mid night. Very few people were about. I hurried on. What was that? It sounded like a cry, naif strangled, half blown away by the wind. i caugnt sight or a dark figure fore- nr its wav nn th. mnn.1 j- . ; stant I had made a spring at it. shadow or auDsiunce i Knew not, till my nana caught at a wet. fluttering dress, a thin arm a woman's form.

I The face was refined, so was the voice. A PQjpr young slip of a girl thinking to end her miseries in the river. "I know you were about to make a mistake which could not be put right." "Yod don't know what it is to be hungry, homeless, alone, despairing " The hoarse little voice broke. I felt her dissolve, as it were, in my bands. She was quite unconscious. In an incredibly short time I had the poor waif in a swift taxi, going to nurs ing home not far off kept by a. friend of mine. Of course, it we a perfectly clear case of complete collapse due to star vation. With an easier mind I left her in good hands. Her name was all we knew about her. Clarissa Crode! The name haunted me until press of work drove her from my mind for a time. I looked in now and again at the nursing home, to be told that ahe was regaining her strength, would be soon fit to go out into the world again. But where? That was a problem we still had to solve Clarissa and I. "Miss Crode. sir, vould like to see you. if possible." "No one of that name down, Morgan; but Oh, yes! Show Miss Crode in. I turned round to confront Clarissa. But such a changed Clarissa! Color now shone in her cheeks, the look of anguish was gone from her soft, dark eyes, she was neatly dressed, she was enchanting. "I am very glad to see you well again." I sa!d in my most formal man ner. "Please sit down. Are you wise to be out alone?" "Oh quite! I cannot be in leading strings any longer. They told me It was good to walk. If I didn't go too far. So 1 came here. I had to to thank you for all you've done for me, and to tell you I have found something to do. At least, the matron of the home ha? rounu roe a piace. i wut ao my oest u i deserve all your Kindness to ne 10a you saved me from death, and worse than death. I don't know why you were so kind. You knew nothing about J me . . . . ...! ' ''J" V0!1?..! JS. I some daybe glad to be saved, I said. ;i,f.1""r,?J1i?r- lv did it." she said, in a low voice. It was a very ordinary little story, as you can perhaps imagine. It was the sort of thing one reads of in the papers very often. Mad speculation on the part of John Crode, a country gentle man, ending in ruin and a bullet through his brain. His only child thrown on a world of which she knew nothing, and where she fared badly. The slow draining away of her slender resources, the impossibility of her find ing -work, the insults and the sordid privations which by degrees broke her fine spirit, and drove her in the end to Westminster, bridge. Now it appeared that the matron of the nursing home had found her a place as companion to an invalid woman a Siace where sne wouiu nave a gooa ome, a kind friend and easy jwork.

It must be a great deal. They, tell me you are a famous doctor, and" "Look here. Miss Crode; don't you worry about that If your conscience is so strict that you must pay my Im aginary bill, come back some day, when fortune's wheel has turned for you, and you're a rich woman, 'lhen you may give me my fee. Is that a bargain?" "Oh, how good you are!" she cried softly. Before I knew what she was about I was conscious of warm, soft lips on my hand, and she was gone. Fortune had not done spinning her wheel.

It was I all one to me where I went, so I 'Obeyed ' rcaaiiy enough: but it took a good deal ot persuasion to make me so to Lrans- i ford-on-Sea, one of the prettiest places on the west coast, and within half a mile of the farrants' place. Mrs. Far- rant is a cousin 01 mine. She came and talked and made the hoars pass. I didn't protest when she proposed to send some girl who was living with ner a sort of secretary ompanion, I gathered to read to me. 'She has the most soothins voice hi the world," Lucie told me. "You will Stow to love her reading, Robert; and she can talk, too." She came the next day. Her very presence was soothing? . She read with intelligence the things I liked. There came a day when I heard that Lucie Farrant had to go abroad and proposed to take her secretary with her. I realized that a new blackness would fill my life if I lost her. "What am I to do without you?" I said abruptly. I felt her start "Have I been any help?" she asked in that sort, familiar voice. "Help?" I echoed passionately. "You've saved me saved me from de spair, from worse than death?" "Then I've paid some of my debt," she said, very low. And quite suddenly mind, it had never dawned On me before I knew, and understood. "Clarissa!" I rried, and groped for and found her hands. "It is really you?" I cried. "Really. Do you think that feels like a ghost?" Her hands were still in mine: she was very near me. I could hear her hur ried breathing. Suddenly something warm and wet fell on my hands. Then I knew. "Clarissa!" She did not speak. I think she had always been mine. And, after all. Dame Fortune bad yet another twist to give my wheel. For presently the darkness began to dis perse. A gray mist hung about me; I could distinguish light and darkness, the outlines of objects. Presently, on our wedding day, I saw Clarissa's fa-, saw her dear eyes smiling into mine.

Tfee BACK-ACTION BY GEORGE FITCH, PROPHETS AatJwf 0f "At Good OH Siwasi" A 7 this minute the quadrennial croo T - of back-action prophets is ripe and. on the market. It is the largest on record because there are now more people in the United States than ever before. If national elections didn't accomplish anything else they would be remarkable for the enormous crop of reverse gear prognosticators which they produce. A back-action prophet is a man who is able to looksbarkward after a thing has hap pened and tell just exactly how it is go ing to occur. The back-action prophet is much more valuable than the ordinary plug prophet because he is always right, lie never makes a mistake unless he happens to read the newspapers carelesslv. At this minute millions of back-action prophet are announcing the electoral vote for Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson with an accuracy verging upon the marvelous I and are telling just what e ery doubtful j state will do in the efeetiou which hus just passed. The ex-post-fucto prophet knows what is going to happen long in advance sometimes years in advance. But he doesn't tell anybody. That is where he is wis-r than tle commonorgarden prophet. The latter tells all he knows months before election and then every body knows it and he is no wiser than anyone else. The back-action prophet, on the other hand, conceals his knowl edge until after the election and then announces it in triumph. Thus no one I can take the credit of his discoveries ! away from him and he becomes a great i man and is madly envied, by ignorant J people lio didn't h.ne any idea in June what kind of ,i vite Wilson would poll , i n i , i rk. n n - s Women are funny things.
