Convention Notes.

The only delegation represented fully in person is that of Yuma.
 Gen. -Eb.- Williams and Geo. Christ were selected as alternate delegates.
 The Republican convention was a very harmonious and intelligent assem- blaze.
 R. E. Sloan was elected temporary chairman; J. W. Darlington and Her bert Brown temporary secretaries.
 Wm. Christy was elected permanent chairman, N. A. Morford and Geo. Schofeld permanent secretaries and P. W. Hine sergeant at arms.
 General Eb. Williams, of Moiave county, is not of a bashful disposition; he held seven proxies and voted them for himself with much samg troid.
 The editorial profession is repre- sented' by Herbert Brown, of the Citizen, John w. Darlington, of the Yuma Sentinel, 0. D. Reppy, of the Tombstsne Epitaph, and Eb. Williams, late of the Mojave Miner.
 John w. Darlington, of the Yuma Sentinel, pr. J. H. Taggart, c. V. Meeden and Charles Lewy, the Re publican representatives from Yuma, arrived in Phoenixlast exening. Our little neighbor on the banks of the Colorado sends fine delegation.-Ga. zette.
 Mir Willis P. Haynes, of Tucson, offered a resolution instructiag the delegates to support Blaine, but upon discussion the resolution was laid on the table. The Arizona Republicans made great mistake in tabling the resolution, as Blaine is the choice of nearly every republican in the country and he will surely be nominated on the ballot.

JACK-ASS STEAKS. Toothso DeIlcacieS of Early
 CailfornianS.

Although hundreds of thousands of cattle roamed at largein California, previous to the discovery of gold, milk was scarce. Few took the trouble to secure it, for milking generally re- quired the united efforts of their per sons One held the cow by the head; a second held the riata confning her hind legs, and battled with the hungry calf; while the third milked with one hand, holding the receptacle for it in the other Milk pails were unknown, and the rancho'S assortment of crock cry was small, so that, if several cows were milked, all the tumblers, tea cups, and bowls were brought into re-
 quisition. Meanwhile the rancher, his wife and children, the unoccupied servants, and the stranger within the gates assisted as spectators. Milk was sold by the bottle; one of the mission aries of San Francisco offered in 1915, to supply a ship with fresh stores daily, including two bottles of milk, boasting that he was the only man about all San Francisco bay, who, af- ter many difficulties, had succeeded in obtaining milk from cows.
 It is said that Californians did not consider venison fit to eat, and that the COW was killed to obtain the un
 born calf, which was held to be sue culent morsel, and that only small portion of the COW was eaten, the rest being left to Indians or beasts. It IS said, also that there were some among the Hispano-Californians who cruelty did not scruple, when on a journey, to lasso a COW, cut out the frazada, and let her loose again. This frazada, or frezada as the illiterate called 1t, was the meat covering the ribs. Although the californians were fond of beef and particularly liked veal, they never took kindly to bears meat, pork, or even mutton. Their favorite morsel was the frazada, which they would, when in the field, throw upon the hot coals, and turning it once or twice, would eat 1t half raw with little salt
 The Indians taste for meat ran in a peculiar direction. While relishing beef, they liked horse flesh better, and donkey's meat best of all, The poor jack, so despised elsewhere, except when needed for hard unrequited work, or to breed a hybrid, was here highly appreciated by the native American for his flesh. The admins trator of San Miguel mission was seat ed one day on bench in the portico of the minister's house, when two In dians from the Tulare region came to see him. They spoke in a dialect which he pretended not to understand and he called for an interpreter

At this moment vaquero pass ed by mounted on fine horse, one of the gentiles then remarked, ''see how feshy that horse is; lie would be so good to eat" to which the other fellow answered, ''yes, very good in deed; but it could not possibly be so good and so sweet as the young don

Selling Eggs by Weight.

Breeders of fancy fowls, especially
the breeders of the class which lay large
eggs, should insist with more per-
tinacity that weight should enter into
all of the commercial operations of
eggs. Some contend "an egg is an
egg" And so is potato. But there
is more than half difference in the
weight and true value of the largest
class of eggs and those from the
dwarfed common dung-hill fowl Well
bred and we'll fed Brahma eggs will
weigh one pound eight ounces per
dozen without selecting, while common
small eggs weigh less than one pound.
Besides the quality of the eggs is equally
rs much better in flavor. Slightly col
ored eggs are superior in quality in
many respects to the pure white.
Dealers, in justice to those who breed
large chickens and furnish eggs for the
market, should do something to en-
courage such enterprise. And those
who are buying for their own use
should, as Il matter of economy and to
Slstain n spirit of enterprise. demand
and pay an advanced price for better
eggs, -Des MojSes Register.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE STATE OF TULAIT.

In spite OF mammals reproachful eyes -"
She was always, always late to rise;
And lote at breakfast and dinner and tea,
And late at school and at church was she:
TIL at last after going too late to bed
"A wonderful dream came into her head,
With stories weird
And with warnings great,
OF place to be feared;
Twas the State of Tulait.
o dearl
How crazy and queer
Was the careless State of Tulaiti
She thought she had strangely and suddenly
come
To King Bizzbee in the land of Hum,
Who eyed her gravely, and said: "Alasl
She rose too late to look in the glass.
Her buttons are wrong, and her collar is gone,
And, worst of all, theres her night-cap onl

OF her horrible fate;
She Is bound to 90
To the State Of Tulait.

'Tis sad to see
Fair maids in the State of Tulait
Would you like TO know what the farmers do
In the State of Tulait? I'll tell you true:
They daily and dream in the spring-time sweet
They plant their crops in the harvest heat,
They hoe their corn in the frosty fall,
And winter finds them with nothing at all. g
You'll hunger and thirst
And want and wait,
And that isn't the worst
In the State of Tulait.
Oh, mol
And yet you'll go
TO the desolate State OF Tulait.
Would you like to know what will happen to
you
In the State of Tuatt I'll tell you true:

To the concert hall when the music is done;
You'll come to tho table too late for the pie;
And you'll see the parade when it's Just gone
by
You'll never be wise
Nor rich nor great;
No fortune lies
In the State of Tulait.
Oh, why
Did you choose to try
The sorrowful State OF Tulait.
Would you like to know what your fate will
be
In the State of Tulaiti All, listen to me:
You will long in vain for your native land;
Your spec return will oft be planned;
You'll hurry and strive with might and main,
But you'll nsD r be able to catch the train.
So you'll sob and cry,
And worry and wait,
And you'll live and die
In the State Of Tulait.
For nevermore

At this she woke, so great was her fright,
And she saw the CLEAN OF the morning light:
Twas the first pale CLEAN, but she bravely rose,
And quickly and carefully donned her clothes;
'FOr oh" she said. II could never endure
To live in that horrible place. I'm sure!

OFFICIAL RED TAPE.
The Work Caused by the Return of a Two

A letter signed with initials and
mailed at the Washington post-oflice

Office Department. The writer en-
closed two-cent stamp. with the fol-
lowing explanatory remark for the

office yesterday; the canceling stamp
failed to cancel the stamp. l tore the
stamp off and used it. Now my con-
science has got the best of me. You

As it was not money the stamp was
not sent to the Treasury Department,
where there is a special fund for the
benefit Of those who are overcome by
the pargs of conscience. The letter
was sent on the official round and as
much ink and good paper was con-
sumed in recording its reception in the
department and its final disposition az
if il had been $4,000, instead of
sicily two-cent stamp. 1t was first of
all recorded in the book of letters re-
! c,ived in the Postmaster-Gene
office, and was then sent. as Endorsed by
the chief clerk, to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General. When it reached
the latter Office it was referred by the
Third Assistant Postmaster-General to
the Finance Division. Another record
was made in the book of the Office of
letters received and jacketed. Then it
found its way to the Finance Division.
The chief of that division pasted tho
stamp on the letter, drew two cross
marks through the stamp with his pen
and marked under it the word "can-
celed" and signed his name. This OPP
Grafton was witnessed by clerk, who
affixed his name as witness. and then
the letter having reached the end of its
red tape journey, was duly and prop
erly deposited in the files, where it will
remain as an evidence to future gencr-
atoms that this petit larceny upon the
Government was regularly and Off &.
cially atoned for. In case the citizen
whose conscience was disturbed wishes
to establish the fact that he has made
restitution, he can refer to the docu-
ments in the case, which the Post Office
Department will kindly preserve for
him without charge. 49, Washington Star.

OUNCES OF PREVENTION.
Valuable Suggestions for Fond Youn.
Mothers and Fathers.


If you have any regard for the future
health of baby do not fall into the habit
of giving him little tastes" of every
thing. 1t not only disarranges his
stomach. but makes him easily dissatis-
fed with his own food. A child who
has never been allowed to eat of this
and that just to see whether he likes it
or not, when weaned will sit up to the
table and eat his piece Of bread con.
tentedly while the buildings and pies
are passed around him. He does not
associate these articles of food with
himself but with the larger people and
remains satisfied with his own limited
bill of fare. We know this is so from
experience, and also that the first 4xes.
of cake or doughnut given the child
will surely be remembered. The little
one who visits much can never be reg
ulated in regard to diet. sleep or in fast
any of his habits. We are strongly in
favor of keeping babies at home; even
visits to grandparents are not always
satisfactory. 1t is much better for
grandma to take the little outing which
she needs and will enjoy, and visit the
baby in its own home. A glance
through railway car will usually fur
nish type Of mothers enjoyment in
visiting and travelling The memory Of
several such undertakings is yet fresh
in our own mind and we can not refrain
from advising young mathers to keep
the babies quietly at home. Then il
sickness comes there will be no vain re-
grets that the home and its comforts
had been left. But visiting with excite
ments, unfamiliar surroundings and
changes of diet are one thing, and
healthful outdoor life is another. Every
baby should get a breath of fresh ar
each day unless the weather is severe
In that case it should be wrapped up
and the air in the living room entirely
changed. Bear this in mind unless
your child has grave disease, the longer
you can postpone giving drugs and
medicines, the better it will be tor che
child. -Ba6YhOOd.

MAKING GOLD LEAF.
An Old Art Which Has But Few Expo
nents in This Country.

hehts III IhlS country.
There are not many collaborating
establishments or gold beaters in the
country. The art is old. having been
known to the Romans. When gold is
to be beaten into thin foil 1t is heated
first in a crucible with borax In the
liquid stale it is poured into mold
and then reheated and made into a
long bar BY means of fine rollers it
is further 1attaned in to broad sheet
almost as thin as paper. 1t is then cut
up into square pieces, and a number
OF them are piled one upon the other,
generally one hundred and fifty are
taken. The beaters place between the
leaves pieces of caf5kin to pr event
them from sticking together. Over the
pile Is put four layers of sheepskin to
preserve the thin foil from being
injured by the hammer. Tho whole
is then placed on a slab of marble.
After the mechanic has pounded the
leaves until they have become as wide
as the parchment between them, they
are taken out, and with a sharp steel
knife each one is cut into four square
pieces. The six hundred thin leaves
are again taken and mangled in the
same manner. The leaves have be-
come so delicate now that a piece of
sharp cane is used to cut them. The
moisture from the breath, OF even the
small amount of water found on a
metallic knife. would cause them to
stick together. After the leaves have
been beaten for the third time tn ey
are taken out and cut with ~ square
frame of cane. The leaves are now
carefully packed and ready to be
shipped, unless they are to be made
thinner.

can be divided. A cubic inch is sufIi-
