Give Attention.
Are you interested in repapering
your house? If so, let me make you
a proposition. It is this: If you
will let me do the work, I will sell
you the paper at wholesale cost.
Figure with me and see how cheaply ,
it can be done. Best of references:
in Hereford.

THREE REAL HEROINES
Mrs. W. E. Robertson Tells of the
Courage That Saved her
Baby's Life.
"Oh, no, I don't want to tell you
anything for the paper," said Mrs.
Robertson, this morning at the Ama-
rillo hotel, where she is stopping
with her husband. "It isn't very
much and it's all over now anyhow."
But it is a story of the finest
heroism that Mrs. Robertson can tell
and her hands and fingers which are
swathed in bandages are mute wit-
nesses of a self sacrificing courage
and the rarest presence of mind.
Mrs. Robertson is the mother who at
Alvarado on last Friday slid down
the well rope into a thirty-five foot
well to rescue her four-year old baby
who had fallen"headlong down the
shaft.
"Clara, my eight-year old daugh-
ter, and Luna, four-years old, were
playing out in the yard and started
to draw some water from the well,
which is a shaft through solid rock
about thirty-five feet to the water.
The little one, Luna, got her foot
tripped some way on the rojpe'and
fell head first down the well. Then
just as quick as could be Clara called
to her, 'hold to the bucket, sister,
hold to the bucket and I'll not let
you go down.' Ttíén Luna caught
the bucket as soon as she came up
and Clara held the rope so the
bucket stayed at the top of the water.
"Of course she called to me and I
came right away. But the house is
some distance from the others and
before I went I phoned to the ex-
change and told them to send help
as quick as they could. Then I fixed
the rope at the well and just slid
down it and got my little girl. The
water is ten feet deep, I guess, but
I braced my feet against the sides
of the shaft so I could hold her and
myself above water. It seemed
hours before help came but I guess
it was only about ten minutes. They
took Luna up in a wash tub and
pulled me up by the rope.
"The little one wasn't hurt a bit.
The first thing she said was, «Mam-
ma I fell right down headjfirst,' and
perhaps that saved her from being
hurt.
"My hands? Oh, they will get
all right now."
Mrs. Robertson is the wife of Dr.
W. E. Robertson, secretary of the
Western Consolidated Mining com-
pany, in which a number of Pan-
handle people are interested. Up
to a few months ago Mr. and Mrs.
Robertson lived at Hereford and
they stopped over in Amarillo since
Saturday on their way to Hereford
for a short visit.—Daily Panhandle.
Reuben Abroad.
We were fortunate enough to take
a trip to Australia with Reuben Glue
at the opera house last night and
certainly enjoyed t h e journey.
Reuben keeps them busy and teaches
the natives to respect Uncle Sam's
country boys which proves there is
nothing in a name. There were
some exciting times interspersed
with clever specialties.—Hannibal
Times.
If Sold at Once.
The best draft stallion, the best
saddle stallion and the best jack in
the state, will sell them. Worth the
money. Inquire of Joe Carter.

New Lumber Company.
J. M. Nichols of Newkirk, Okla.,
is in the city this week completing
the arrangements for a new lumber
company to be put in at Hereford.

work will begin on the new yard
right away. The name of the new
company will be The Alfalfa Lum-
ber Company. R. R. Dunn of Kan-
sas City will be associated with Mr.
Nichols a3 assistant manager. In
an interview with the manager he
stated that this new enterprise was
backed by one of the strongest lum-
i ber companies in Eastern Texas and
I Louisiana. He thinks this a good
| opening for another yard and has
I great faith in the future of this coun-
J try. It is their purpose to carry a
I large stock of all kinds of lumber
and building material. We wish for
this new firm great success in then
new enterprise.
