SA.VBD BY A BURUO. Sol C. Wiener, foreman of tlic grand jury, is tnaintainitiy h is rep illation as an entertainer of the fair sex, even though the cares of state hang heavily on his should ers. An automobile went from Carrizozo to Lincoln Monday, the passengers intending to return that evening; but the foreman heard the honk, honk of the in coming car, adjourned the session of the grand jury, drafted the chaufTcur and his car and com manded the former occupants to await his return, they protesting mildly. My the time the auto had re ceived its burden of fair freight, by the way, the only kind the foreman really likes to please, the evening sun was sinking; but nothing daunted, the intrepid foreman ordered the driver to turn the machine down the river, Notwithstanding the severe strain on the the machine, going from Carrizozo to Lincoln, it obeyed the hand of its operator and struck a gait that made the fore man smile and the ladies gasp lor ureatli. i iie ucauiuui intz ration was reached in safety, and the fore man got busy showing his fair friends the fields of waving grain and alfalfa, the fat, sleek stock, dispensing with lavish tongue ins knowledge of rural life. These sights, in the growing darkness, however, began to pall; and tne loremau, ever ready to please, snouted "All aboard lor Lincoln!" The nose of the ma cuine was turned up tne river there dates the beginning of the foreman's troubles. The chauffer coached the machine with crank and lever; he also used gentle language to persuade it to move; but to no avail: its overworked mechanism would not respond to tne toucn ol the driver, anil things began to take on a sky imic coior. i ue crowd was up v against it; it was dark; it was raining, and Lincoln, their des tination, was somewhere in the distance. They were confronted with a condition and not a the ory. What was to be done? The fertile brain of the fore man was working over-time, an lie ut last announced a solution They would go to the Fritz home, seek shelter lor the night and in tne morning secure some means of reaching Lincoln. In response to tncir request lor slicltcr, Mr ana turs. iwui ritz, wlio are among Lincoln county's best pco pic, replied, that, out of considera tiou for ladies and their plight tuey would House mem lor lit night, notwithstanding the doubtful standing of their es cort; but that under no condition would the foreman be accommo dated in their home. The ladies accepted the offer and the fore man, crostfallen, turned away, thinking a reclining position in the auto would be his for the re mainder of the night. The dul oot tonus of a Kooky Mountain canary colloquially a burro perforated the mist-laden atmos j 111 ore and afforded an inspira tion. Cutting a club, for both a guide and pcrnuadcr, the music limiting animal was easily caught, mounted and the start made for Lincoln. He readied Lincoln, safe, if not sound, before the sun showed his head, and anneard tuong his compeers smiling, as though the events of 'the night lad been only a passing dream: yet acknowledged to a few inti mate friends that that portion of his anatomy which came in con tact with sections of the songs ter's vertebra was devoid of small portions of the epidermis. ICmil . ritz hitched a pair of big bays to the machine and towed it into vincoln, bearing only its fair cargo of the night before: the batteries were recharged and the machine ready for business; but not for the foreman he had donned his official robes and en tered the portals of the grand jury room. The treasury statement July st shows a deficit of $00,000,00(1. t is too much, perhaps, to hold the republican party responsible for a long eleven years' rule; yet wc remember some kind of state incut having been made at the beginning of that rule to the cl feet that deficits and panics were connected with democratic ad ministrations only.
