The team which T.E. Siler
drives to the Wilson dray wagon
ran away Tuesday and left the
wagon in a very dilapidated' con
dition, and their harness badly
broken. Mr Siler was in the
freight house .loading potatoes
and had about fifteen sacks of
same on the wagon when the
horses became frightened at a
baby buggy which was coming
toward them and started to run
before Mr Siler could grasp the
reigns. Perhaps nothing regret
able would have happened had
not the horses in their haste
failed to miss a telephone pole.

We our selves was the subject
of a little rhyme which appeared
i:i last weeks issue of. the S.A.
Hat fact is not worrying us but
v2. have not slept well last night
or the night before or the night
boiore that trying to come to
some conclusion in our own mi
tt, s as to who was the author of
said rhyme. We thought we had
the poetry business all monopo
lized but we have learned much
t our chagrin that we have a
far rival in the field. The rhyme
in question appeared so near the
c mnty seat news that it has us
g.;essing whether or not that cor
respondent or the devil are the
guilty parties. If the devil wrote
ic we will get even with him
sjme time by giving him some
o our cooking and standing by
uatil he eats it; but if that Mos
quero correspondent wrote it,
veil we have a few words to say
aboiit him in the three following
paragraphs.
There's a faithful patient
writer here below and that
is us we want the world to
'know.
But we'íl give our writing
up and we'll take a poisoned
sup when rhymes from Mos
quero'a pen begins to flow.
Writing rhymes has been
our hobby now for years,
which has kept from the
surface many tears; but we
have visions of a day when
bur fua will pass away, and
that sage from Mosquero
win tlie cheers . ' 1 '
We know that he is a láw
yéi' of renown and that he
holds, a city office in his
, town. Why should he care,
for our 'fame, covet foe him
self the same, or try to
knock pur poet shingle
dówn.

COLMER AND MILLS PLAY
GOOD GAME OF BALL
One of the best games of ball
played this season on the Mesa,
was played at Mills last Sunday
between the Mills team and the
fast Colmer team. Each team
had strengthened for the game
and both were determined to win
Hephner pitched for Mills and
held the visitors down to just
a few scattering hits. The sup
port given him was of dio w
best and scarcely any errors we
re chalked up against the home
team. The' game stood two and
two in the end of the ninth, and
for the next four innings neither
side was able to find the plate,
however in the fourteenth, Col
mer managed to secure another
run and Mills failed to score ma
king the final count three to two
in favor of the visitors.- Colmer
had several new players and
their pitcher pitched real ball
and he too was given almost per
fect support. The Mills team
has been practicing considerable
here of late and with the addi
tion of one or two players will
have one of the strong teams of
this part of New Mexico.

I AM delighted with Gifford
Pinchot's victory in Penn- -'
sylvania.
It indicates a genera! trend
toward progressive ideals ' In
this connection, however, it is
necessary to hear in mind that'
since 1912 lines are blurred
considerably on progressive
. policies
For cxarnple, a very large
part of the 1912 progressive
platform has' already become
the law of the land. In this,
woman suffrage is a specific
incident.
