How much it would conduce to our
happiness to be select in our books and
in our friends; to choose each more for
their good sense than their knowledge;
more for their being Christians than
philosophers; to be contented with a
small but certain income; to have no
master and few servants; to preserve
our health by exercise instead of medi-
cine; to adhere to our religious duties;
to allow the pleasures of life to pass by
us without murmur, and to wait with
the confidence of pious hope for the
the eternal future.

MISERY is so little appertaiping to our
nature, and happiness so much so, that
we in the same degree of Illusion only
lament over that which has panied us,
but leave unnoticed that which has re-
joiced us.

A HUMAN soul without education is
like marble in quarry, which shows
nothing of its inherent beauties until
the skill of the polisher fetches out the
colors, makes the surface shine, and dis
covers every ornamerted cloud, spot
and vein that runs through the body
of it.

ARIsTHENEs wondered at mankind,
that in buying an earthen dish they
were careful to sound it, lest it had a
crack; yet so careless in choosing friends
as to take them 1awed with vice. How
few persons at this day would discover
and apply so striking an analogy.

BECAUSE people are rich they are not
of necessity ogres. Because they are
born gentlemen and ladies of good de-
gree, are in easy circumstances, and
have a generous education, it does not
follow that they are heartless and will
turn their backs on friend.

Ed Flynn, who has charge OF the
railroad well, informs the Liberal
that he intends 20 sink it another
hundred feet and again drift for the
large body OF water which is supposed
to be under the shaft. a new hoist
and boilers will be procured and he
viii proceed to drop the bottom Of the
old well down an hundred feet or
more. The railroad company gives 1t
out cold It has got TO have an ahund-
ance OF water in Lordsburg and is go
ing to have it If It can hnd it. There
Is plenty Of water in Shakespeare and
the company can doubtless get a plen-
ty of water II 1t keeps trying. They
could buy water considerably cheaper
then to hunt for it. Responsible
men have offered to guarantee any
reasonable amount of water at a fair
figure, but the company seems to
think that If such an offer was accept
ed some mar would be liable to make
a few dollars on the speculation, and
the Southern Pacific company does
not propose to allow any man to make
a dollar il it can possibly help it.
When the company secures an album
dance Of water it intends to move the
shops from Tucson to Lordsburg,
there being two important reasons
for this move, first the climate here,
especially in the summer, is so much
more salubrious that a man can do a
great deal more work in a day than in
Tucson (; secondly, the taxes here are
much less than in Tucson, here the
taxes are about two per cent and at
Tucson they are over four and have
been for several years. The difference
in taxes alone would pay the company
well for making the change. or
course the moving the shops would be
rather unpleasant for the Tucsonltes,
but the Lordsburgers would be
mighty well pleased to see them come
this way, and the quicker the better.
Last week a teamster who was haul
ing at the Jim Crow camp, became en-
ragged ut n of his horses, picked up a
club and knocked the horses eye. out.
The miners at that camp do not be-
long to the society for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals, but thought this
was going a little farther than any
mar had a right to go. The teamster
was arrested and brought before the
camp court and given AFFAIR trial. The
Evidence was overwhelming and the
teamster was convicted. The sen-
.tence Of the court was that he should
be turned over to the crowd to be
logged with a mesquite whip and the
horse turned out on the range for IA
period Of six months. The sentence
OF the court was carried into execution
to the letter. Since then the horses
Of that camp have been treated with
the most distinguished consideration.
II a similar protection for dumb
beasts was extended in other places in
the county many Statutory lessons
would be taught, and some teamsters
and COW boys would become more
civilized.

FACTS ABOUT IRON.
The Great Antiquity Of It's Use - First
Iron Works In America.
ITO BE coNTNUED.)

The bible speaks Of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer Of iron and the father OF
smiths. says the St. Louis Republic. the
Egyptians imputed to Heph@stus the
same honor; while Pliny mentions It as
having been discovered by the Dac-
tyles. on Mount Ida. after the forests
on the mountain side had been de-
stroyed by lightning-this about l,4S2
years B. c.
Jeremiah and Ezekiel both mention
iron in their scriptural writings, the
latter specially mentioning two quail
ties of the metal, calling one bright
iron," which was probably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace, and
Job speaks of it as being taken out OF
the earth. Thousands Of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles,
knives. etc. Sparta first used iron for
money; Britain also used 1t as a me-
dunn OF barter and exchange prior to
the conquest by the Romans. The use
of steel is known to be quite ancient,
its invention being ascribed to the
Chalyhes, who in ancient times lived
Mt the present Batoum. The Britons
before the time Of Christ used to export
iron to Gaul, and after the Roman con-
Quest the conquerors established extern
sive smeliing-works, which existed at
least rs late as the Saxon conquest.
Iron bars were demanded by William
the Conqucror as tribute from the city
of Gloucester. In 1856 Edward III,
forbade the export of iron from Eng.
land, and in 1883 the importation oil
iron articles that could be made at
home was forbidden. Bar iron waa
made in the American colonies as ear
" as 1922. The timing OF iron was
introduced from Bohemia in 1851. The
first experiments in sm lting iron with
anthracite coal were tried at Mauch
Chunk, Pa. in 1929; in France two
years earlier, and successfully in
Wales IN 1887. tn first iron-works IN
America were established near James
town, Va, in 1919; in 1922 the works
we're destroyed and the workmen and
their families killed by Indians. The
next attempt was at Lynn, Mass, on
the banks of the Saugus in 1913. The
ore used was the "bog" variety. still
found in abundance in that vicinity
At these famous iron-works JOSEPH
