Hess' shop the buggy upset, throwing
Mr Koch out against some rigs that

named Henry Conlin kept a shop in
Mr Purdy's building in Wingham. He
removed from there to Bluevale: and
from there to a short distance beyond
Maple Hill, on the Durham Road. The
old man had a young cow which he
had raised. He wanted to sell it, but
Mrs Conlin end a son declared they
would keep it. Then the members of
the household had some words over
the matter, and the old man started
off for Hanover, ashort distance
away,where he purchased some strych-
nine. Returning home he went up-
stairs and took it. The wife suspected
something, and hurried for assistance.
A medical man was present in a short
time. but death had ensued before aid
could be administered. Mr Conlin
said he thought he ought to be boss in
his own house.
NEW MEXICO.
AS SEEN BY A HUItONIAN.
The Manse,
First Presbyterian Church,
Santa,Fe, New Mexico,
April 26th, 1897.
To the Editor of the New Era :
MY DEAR SIR: -Some time ago you asked
me for a letter giving some facts about this
country, its people, its climate, its resources
deo,
'In a moment of weakness"I sent you a
Card promising that when I got a little over
the rush of work that seemed to be on at
that time that I would comply with your
request, I cannot say that that time bee
come, but if you are ever going to hear of
New Mexico from me, you will have to be
satisfied with a few lines written in the
midst of a busy life.
Let me in the first plane congratulate you
on the marked improvement that has taken
place on your paper since I was a regular
reader of its columns iu the days of Auld
lang Syne. When I looked over the pages
of the copy you so kindly sent me I was
carried"hway back to the days, the happy
days, I spent in Holmesviile and tried'"to-
teach a school that averaged seventy-five
from Tannery to December.
At that time New Mexico was to me as it
is to -day to most people in the east, only a
place on the map, and indeed from what I
have seen in some Canadian newspapers I
have been forced to theconolusion that even
some editors know this land of sunshine
only as a spot where wild Indians roam and
Spaniards watch their chances to use their
stilettoes or other instruments of destruo-
tion.
Many even today look upon New Mexico
as that little corner of the United States
where the lawless take up their abode, ex-
cept the few who flee to Canada or to old
Mexico, but in spite of the unfavorable
opinions that have been held concerning
this territory, it stretches out here in beauty
and I might say in abundance, waiting for
those wbo wish to investigate its resources,
or benefit by its climate.
New Mexico
has
a total area
of 122,444
444
square miles. When I tell you that it is as
large as England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, you will see that it hasroom enough
and to spare.
In whatever direction you look your vis-
ion is bounded by the great towering
mountain peaks. Here in Sante Fe we are
at an elevation of about 7500 feet and yet all
around us are the mountains running up to
an elevation of 11,000 feet, and last week I
had the pleasure of looking upon one which
is 14,100 feet, Many a time, not only in
this city but in every town and hamlet in
the territory that I have visited, the rever-
ent mind is found,dwelling on the assurance
of the 126th Psalm, "As the mountains are
round aboutJerusalem, so the Lord is round,
about his people from henceforth even for
ever".
We have here people from all parts of the
union, indeed I might say from all parts of
the world, for it is a question if there is not
to be found in /New Mexico representatives
of every country in the world.
The Mexican as now found is no doubt a
descendant of the Spaniard with nota small
mixture of Indian and American blood in
his veins. They resemble greatly in their
manners and customs, espeoially in their
way of living, the Canadi. n Indian,althongh
they do not seem to have enough ambition
to run about from place to place as the In -
diens did hunting
forth '
air
prey. The
Mex-
ican x
ioan is naturally polite, he seems to have an
aversion to speak English. If you ask him
a question be alw.sys invariably answers
"kin sanve", "no oomprehendo, ' no Eng-
lish," unless when money is inthe question
and then they can all speak English,
The people live Mostly in houses built of
adobes, The adobe house ie most easily
made bud roost habitable, pool in the heat
and warm in the cold. I believe it is the
best house
for New
Mexico.
The
real adode
building lea box, board with sods also pall-
ed adobe, 2 feet long, 8 inches wide, and 4
inches thick, out, turned over and left to
dry, then laid upon one another in a mor-
tar of their own mud; floored with olay,and
roofed with peeled pine poles, crossed with
branches which are m turn thatched with
hay and then covered with clay and gravel.
The holes to let in light may or may not be
-if hey be-the'smaller the better. The
ban of the house is generally toward the
publio highway, and very often a number
of these rooms open Into a square which
seems the general property of all comer
Where no oourt is the dwellers seem to live
Wetly about the doors and in the tun u er
time they even sleep out in the pure air.
The Mexican people are the very essence.

only one of the many that have been benefit
ted by the climate of New Mexico. Som
ofesur'eeadere may know what the condi
tion of my health was when T was ordere
to this country by my medical adviser; in
deed 1 thought myself that it was a hope
less case. For the first few months I spm
ply held my own until the latter end o
May, when I commenced to gain and con
tinued to gain at the rate of two pound
per week until I had gained 30 pounds, and
at the same time doing all my work,whioh
was by no means Light.
I do not believe that for persons afflicted
with asthma or in the first stages of lung
trouble a better plaoe could be found on the
American continent, but at the same time
I would plead with the medical men in the
East not to send away from home even to
New Mexico men and women in the last
stages of the disease, espeoially if they have
no means of support. It is cruelty to the
patient and dishonest to the people of the
west. I would at the same time encourage
all others in the first stages of pulmonary
trouble to lose no time in getting to this
country, as I have seen and conversed with
scores, yea, hundreds, who are strong and
well to -day, who bad to be carried from the
train on their arrival here a few years ago.
New Alex= has its drawbacks. The
high winds at certain seasons are unpleas-
ant, the dust is far from desirable,the Sab-
hath is not observed, the educational ad-
vantages are poor oomparatively,the moral
influences and the lack of religious advan-
tages are depressing in the extreme. "Ev-
ery prospect pleases, only man is vile."
I would like to have told your readers
something of our church work, of the nom
position of our congregations, of our mis-
sion schools, of our trips of 100 miles over
the mountains to attend themeetings of
Presbytery, and of travelling all night to
attt nd a meeting of a dommittee. I would
like especially to -&ave told you of the "Pen-
iter.tiee" of this country, and of what we
saw of their heathenish wren -Wake en Good
Friday last, as, with bared bodies, they
lashed themselves with their cruel whips
until their backs ,vere masses of raw flesh;
laid upon their shoulders the huge cactus
plants, or groaned beneath the immense
crosses that they. carried on their bare
slat ulders. 1 would like to tell you of their
meeting of darkness which I attended in
one of the Mexican villages many miles
from here, but already my letter is far too
long, and perhaps some other time, if you
care to hear our story, we may be able,
either with the pen or in person, to tell you
more of this land of sun, silence and adobe,
for that is New Mexico in three words. I
would just like to say in closing that if any
of your readers are contemplating a change
of climate for the benefit of their health, I
will be pleased to give them any informa-
tion in my power. I may also say that
since
cominghere 16
months ago we have
had the pleasure of having over 20 Cana-
dians visit Santa Fe, most of whom are
still here, and intens to make this their
home.
With kindest regards to you, Mr Editor,
and to your readers, many of whom I re-
member mist kindly, I am yours,
very sincerely,
l;. M. CRAIG.

our old friend at any time. -En. NEW ERA.]

This le the complaint of
thousands at this season.
They have no appetite; food
does not relish. They need the toning up of
the stomach and digestive organs, which
a course of Hood's Sarsaparilla will give
them. It also purifies and enriches the
blood, cures that distress after eating and
internal misery only a dyspeptic can
know, creates an appetite, overcomes that
tired feeling and builds up and sustains
the whole physical system. It so prompt-
ly and efficiently relieves dyspeptiosymp-
toms and aures nervous headaches, that it,
seems to have almost "a magic touch."

,An Interest -Earning Investment
Of late years the decline in the rate of
interest obtainable under first plass mort-
gage and other investments has been decid-
edly marked. So much so bas this been
the case that the shrewd invesror of form-
er years who could at one time easily in-
vest all hie available capital r t r rom 6 to 7
per cent. now finds it exceedingly difficult
to secure desirable investments for his mon-
ey at even a low tate of interest
Under such circumstances capitalists of
both mean and -great proportions have de-
posited in the banks of our country large
sums of money which otherwise might have
been circulated to extend, foster and build
up Canadian enterprises; however, people
of means for some time past have been ex-
periencing difoulties with the investment
of their funds at the low and inadequate
rate of intertst, perhaps without or regard-
less of the knowledge of the fact that their
capital could yield a guaranteed annual in-
come of from 6 to 16 per cent. by the pur-
chase of a life annuity. Under this form
of investment the shorter the expectation
of life the larger amount of annuity pur.
chased and the greater the rate of interest
realized. For example, such an invest-
ment of the sum of $1000 at a fairly advan-
ced age will yield an annual return during
the remainder of the investor's life of over
10 per cent., paid regularly either quarter-
ly, half -yearly and yearly thereby relieving
the investor from all anxiety as to the in-
terest not being promptly ppid, as in the
case of other investments.

remunerative form of investment address
