HEN Appeles was exhibiting- a beautiful painting a cobbler
directed his,attention to a fault in the shoe and the master
immediately corrected it; the shoemaker then criticised
the shaping of the leg and Appeles said, “Shoemaker, stick to
your last/' The advice of the painter stands as good in govern-
ment as it does in art, but unfortunately many of Our legislators
have no last juid others insist on legislating the most on things
they know the least about If our legislators would “stick to
their last” we would soon have “fewer laws and better laws." v

liavo Ynov»d away from Graham*
and Young county ;
‘ •' Arteaia, New - Mexico.
We aJre located in the Peeoo
Volftsp on a beautiful little farau
of (fifty acres of ap|3* orchard
and thirty acres of alfalfa. We
are well pleased with this country
Everybody seems to be doing
weh; don't hear m mooJi talk of
hard times. But the fellow who
don’t like to work had better st /
away. W© luave a ploasant e.li-
ipate here and the purest of wate
flows from eight hundred to
fifteen hundred fret deep. We
can raise inmt anything we plant.
We have fine garden from ajiring
until frost and good prires the
year round for produce. We
have some’ severe dust storms in
tlie spring which are very diw
agretabk*. We have good society
here and very social people^ but
still we think of bldfc Young
county, a grai*) country.
