To 'run P.omm in-- Tim Scn Sir: I have I ust road your account from Colorado Springs of th.: very, remark able force given to an olive seed by a box of soil taken from the vaiioy of the Pecos Kiverin New Mexico ant', depos ited in the cellar of a naturalist dur ing last winter. As my cattle j'at.ge is in the valley of this same river.down in Texas, I haveseou so much of the wonderful olb-it of this virgin soil uiioii both vegltable and cntuial wal ler that 1 can easily believe every word of your correspondent's story. The only dhleronee 1 see is that the ' lower down the Piros Kiver you go Jie stronner and mightier tlifi soil is. To (ids raet, tlio sale of the Terri tory of Now Mexico by Texas to the I'liited States is attributable. In an early day when the. plains across which this curious river passes were known only to wild apimalsand Texas rangers, the Texans discovered that above 1 line which now separates Tex as and New Mexico the soil seemed not so nood as below it, and as Texas wanted none but first-class land, she disposed of that territorv. Piuco then tlio superior soil of Texas over Xow Mexico lias forced up. the soil of the latter until a very hiíh rano;e extends from the e.u.t to the west, and this range will no doubt In time reaeli the san e height as the lioeky Mountains. lhaveolten thought that it was foree'of this. soil that pushed up from these plains the Kooky Mountains, themselves. No doubt it was this ex ert ion which gave in New Mexican soil the exhausted appearance,-mentioned, but for fear of boiiiK chatted with heresy 1 liavn't had the courage to say so until now. Among some of the small tilings done by this soil I will mention that by dimply grazing upon it many of our cattle have very large feet which have tobe trimmed with ponderous ma chinery before, shipping to market to save freight. It is also said that on account, of so many of our I'eeos valley cattle having been driven through the. streets of Chicago, suflicient of this soil has been deposited in the streets there to produce a type of a lug-footed women to I.e. exhibited at the World Fair as one of 1 iio many singular things that remarkable oily lias to .show. IYaetica". reults'in horticulture wid he obtained from our valley of the Fo cos in the near future, as a railroad has been built a part of the way up it, and several irrigation ditches opened. And it has aiready been demonstrated that a few sacks of seeds scut up the road one week will return the next a train load of fruits and vegetables sitp-rior tu California's best.

WAS EQUAL TO TIIE EMERGENCY. Miirk Cu mm, of Clifycnno, In tlicGlolio-Doin-.M-rnt. We've got a bank clerk up In our nock o' woods who some day will give Jay Could cards and spades In the game of financiering and beat him toa standstill. He's only l!l years old, but Is a hummer. Two or three months ago, while t he. President of the. bank was away, the cashier was taken siek, and in a few hours was in a delirious t ito. The young '"Napoleón" was left in solo charge of the bank. Some evil disposed person started the story one afternoon that the, institution was in a bad way, and Intimated that the Presi dent had skipped theeountryand that the cashier's illness was only a '"bluff." Iieforo night it wo,"-, evident there would be a run on the institution the next morning. The young clerk knew there was scarcely money enough to last an hour, lie had no one to advise but he acted promptly, lie call ed on the leading hardware merchant and held a brief conference. Then this young Napaleon went home, where lie found a committee from the depositors awaiting him. He did not wait for tliem to speak, but made this bluff: '"I refuse to discuss business with you. There will be $.'.0,000 in gold here in the morning and there is like amount in the safe. You may draw out every dollar you have de- nositcd and we'll lie glad to get rid of your small accounts." Then ho turn ed on his heel and left the committee. firiyht and early there sscmbled at the bank the creditors. Just before time for opening the doors an express wagon was driven up in which were seated two heavily armed men, one of them the watchman of the bank. A pathway through the crowd was made and the watchman began carrying into the bank canvas bags containing gold coin, as indicated by the promi nent marks. Some of the bags wcro marked "'$3000," and one or two "I 0,000." The people saw these bags, heard the chink of the metal, and, believl:'? the bank was O K. were above to move away. Just as the last bag of "gold"' was handed into the door Ue young (linnder tlr.-vi the bank open. The crowd did not make any effort to reiioli the paying teller's window. "Coue 011 now, every one of you," shouted the clerk. No one respond ing lie made another bluff. "You. must come and get yjur money. AVe don't wanr your d d accounts any more. Hero, Sim Hartley, take, this and sign this receipt in full. Here, Hill AVyman, come and getyour dust." He insisted on their taking the money. Just at tills juncture the committee came in and bogged the clerk to -.-top, for God's sake." They, almost got down on their knees to ask the bank to keep the money. The young Napoleon'' tl.ially consented, but de clared if there was any more d (i nonsense be would throw every depos itor's money into the street. Hie crowd departed happy and confident that the bank was one of tin; strongest institutions of its kind in America. Their coiiihlenee luiirht have boon shaken had they knavvn the canvas bags, marked ".i-nKiO gold," ote, and bedaubed with red sealing wax, con taining nothing more nor less than iron washers which the young clerk had purchased from the hardware man who had otherwise assisted in the deception, he being convinced of the soundness of the bank. The two men the vounir Naiioleon insist, 'd on paying in full the bank had. long wish ed to gel rid of. I. lío is MUeiy To thousands of people who have the taint of scrofula in their blood.
