Duck creek is probably the finest body
of water in New Mexico. During vdndy weather
the waves roll as high as three feet, and have
occasioned a great deal of trouble with the dam.
Willows and cottonwoods are being planted
along the dam for its protection. With this

body of water, the company will soon be able to
reclaim several hundred acres of desert land
which for fertility cannot be excelled in any
country. The storage of this water demonstrates
what can be done in this country.
He Wished She Was A
Centipede
A party was given in St. Louis to which
was invited a noble but bashful cowboy, says the
St. Louis Republic.
He was a good looking fellow, and one
of the ladies took an interest in him and tried
to make him feel at ease. He fell desperately
in love at once, and the hostess noticing this, en-
couraged him all she could. In leaving the house
the young lady who had taken a friendly
interest in the cowboy forgot her overshoes, and
the hostess told the young Lochinvar of the
plains that he might return them if he wished.
The herder leaped at the chance, and pre-
sented himself in due time at the young lady’s
house. She was surprised to see him, but greet-
ed him cordially. “You forgot your overshoes
last night,” said he awkwardly, handing her the
package.
