A PROMINENT attorney, who re- gently found it convenient to shake the dust of Apache county from his feet, and who acquired and sus- tained an unenviable notoriety while here, has been recently writ ing series of heavy editorials for the Prescott Journal-Miner, in re- gard to Apache county affairs. In a recent effort, he undertakes to analyze the vote on adoption of the constitution, and makes a special effort at the vote in St. Johns pre- cinct. The vote here stood 112 for to 4 against, He adds: ''The entire majority represents MormonIsm." In this statement he displays his gross ignorance of Apache county affairs, or wilfully misrepresents them. The fact is that not quite half of this vote was cast by Nor mons, and of the four votes against, one is now an inmate of the county jail, while the other three are rep resentatives of a class who are for ninst any measure, no matter how meritorious. There never was any question submitted to the voters of Apache more generally popular than that of statehood, and while some may object to the constitu- ton in some minor particulars, yet the desire for statehood is such that it overcomes these objections. This was the feeling among all classes Mormons, Mexicans and Gentiles. Mir. Meddlesome had better attend strictly to his own business in the future. We have known men to gain wealth by pursuing the latter course.

When Women Proposes.

The custom of ladies allowed to propose in leap year is supposed to have had it's origin in the statute published by the Scotch Parliament in the year 12SS. This queer ordi- nance read as:follows :"It is ordaint that during the reign of her maist blessit Majestic Margaret, like maiden, ladee of baith high and low estate, shall hae Ii bertie to speak to the man she likes. Gif he refuses to takes her to be his wyf, he shale be mulct in the sum ofane hundredity pundis or less, as his estate may bee, except and alwais gif he can make it appear that he is betrothit to another woman. then he shall be free" In 1906, Marga- ret having passed away, and the la- dies being still clamorous for their privilege, another act of parliament, it is said, allows them the privilege every fourth year.

A Montana exchange states that the cattlemen of that state are now in fear that they are going to expe- rience great opposition and hard ship in bringing cattle into that state from the south next spring. The disposition of cattlemen in
 Wyoming, is such that they will throw every obstacle in the way of unloading cattle driven to Montana, and it is certain that Dakota will not allow the southern cattle to be dumped in that state. This puts things in bad shape, as fully as many cattle are expected to be shipped north the coming spring as were shipped last spring. Our exchanges say southern cattle must of necessity be brought in, and not. withstanding the opposition of the Wyoming cattlemen, the cattle will have to be driven from points in Wyoming if no way out of the dilemma appears. On account of the close drawing of the quarantine lines in Texas, the main bulk of northern shipments will necessarily be made from Arizona and New Mexico, and it is hoped the difficult
 ties now existing between our north ern buyers may be amicablY adjust ed although northern buyers really anticipate that the bringing of cat tie in the next spring will be an or deal beset with hardship and loss.

Every established local newspa- per receives subscriptions from large cities, which puzzle the pub fishers to account for. but the New York Times, once upon Q time, threw some light upon it by the following: GA wholesale grocer in this city, who has become rich at the business, says his rule is that when he sells a bill of goods on credit, to immediately subscribe for the local paper of his debtors. So long as hls customer advertised liberally and vigorously, he rested, but as soon as he began to contract his advertising space he took the fact as evidence that there was troubled ahead, and invariably went for his debtor. Said he The man who is too poor to make his business is too poor to do busi- ness The with withdrawal of an advertisement is evidence of weakness that business men are not slow to act upon.

What y Writer Thinks of the business
Women Of Chicago.
The newest item of all TO the rural
or semi-rural visitor is the field into
which woman has entered. For the
living-earning woman is new crea-
ture IN this world, who in manner de-
iies all instinct and tradition How
many thousands OF her there may be
here the writer does not know, but she
Is everywhere. The vast emporiums OF
trade, ut the size and business and ex-
tent OF which the oldest resident can
never cease TO wonder, are full of her.
Where the clang of falling iron re-
sounds all day long; where endless
wheels diz2ily and ceaseessly turn, she
has her corner. In the crowded world
she can no longer wait Wind and
storm must no longer delay her
Time must be to her now as it is 10 n
man, with the curse of Eden ineNorably
upon her, bearing all the burdens OF her
nature. She has entered into the con-
test by tens Of thousands. Age, mis-
fortunes, widowhood have nothing TO
do with it, And how does it affect her?
Not at all. Here, then, oh stranger,
from green fields and umbrareous
woods, Is the strangest puzzle Of all the
city offers you. We have unsexed the
world,and leftit essentially unchanged.
This Ia still the woman 10 whom YOU
will Offer your seat In the crowded car.
1t is still she whose face Is unsmirched
by the glare Of publicity, and TO whom
daintiness and femininity remain as
ever You may us well confess, in your
hours OF calm reflection, that Chicago
and her streets and marts have taught
you one more lesson, given you one new
item, about that incompreheusible crea-
ture who is your mother, your sister
and your wife, but whom you will never
entirely comprehend, should you live
thousand years -Belford's Monthly.

II Is to the 1heories and Controversies
About Numan's Place.
While learned discussion has been
going on concerning the Legitimate
duties of womcn-whnt they can and
can not do-thcy, themselves, are quiet
ly finding out their own strength and
endowment, and are making the most
of them. They are doing this, too, in
accordance with the best ideals of
wonanhood, without sacrificing their
wumanlncss and without lessening
those qualities that best fit them for
wiichood and motherhood For IT is a
striking fact that few of the women
who have departed from the beaten
path are unmarried. The large majority
have husband and children whose needs
frequently have forced them to make
the most Of their energy and knowledge.
Some time ago the writer was sitting
on the piazza of cottage at a northern
summer resort. A woman drove up and
halted. She sat on the front seat of u
stout spring wagon and behind her
were cnpacious bags and baskets filled
with pluins and apples. She climbed
out OF the vehicle giving the reins TO u
boy who sat beside her, and spoke re-
assuring word or two TO the fat, restless
pony. "ie seems gentle enough she
remarked, but he's got proper spirit,
and il sometimes takes strength TO hold
him."
Then she asked "if we were likely to
have any books or magazines that we
didn't care to take home with u.s. The
winters were long there, and they had
TO stay in the house a good deal, and
looks were n real blessing"
She was promised an assortment OF
light literature, and this opened her
heart.
She was large, cheerful person,
with broad shoulders, round, rosy
face, but she said that she suffered a
good deal with rheumatism In her hand.
"I've lived here nearly thirty years."
she said, land you can imagine what a
wilderness il was thirty years ago. We
had a pretty hard time TO get along.
