young women says she infinitely prefers the
business work to the hopeless mOnotony of
the village home life and the painfully
patronizing attention of the squires. And,
indeed, il titled ladies open tearooms and
millinery establishments in town, why Is
the shop life dishonOrable for those of lower
rank? The problem of what to do with
the daughters of Great Britain is hopelessly
involved by the great excess of women over
men in the population, by the tendency OF
the English bachelor 10 wed with American
beauty and gold. and the petty conven-
tonality which prescribes certain phases of
work as unbecoming the dignity and rank
OF the daughters of the impoverished
country squires or cergymen in poor liv-
ings, professional men of small means and
large families.

We have in our midst. so 10 speak a young
business man who is thrifty and active, but
who has not yet made his pile. He has an
uncle in the East who is millionaire. but
that doesn't do our young friend much good.
Not long ago he needed 5000 and found
some difficulty in borrowing it.

yours ?" inquired one banker to whom he
applied.
The young man instantly became pro-
foundly solemn.

you want me 10 become murderer?"
"A murderer" echoed the banker in
startled tones.
"A murderer" and the young man be-
came more earnest than ever.
Certainly not, my dear fellow, certainly
not" exclaimed the banker. What do you
mean?"
Why, sir, If / should ask that uncle Of
mine to lend me $1,000 he would drop dead

How Partisan Lady Amused Her

Some time ago Paris cabdriyer was ar
raigued before the Police Court on very
curious charge. The complainant, lady
whom he had driven home from a party,
made the following extraordinary state
ment:

driver got down. / thought an accident had
happened TO the vehicle or to the horse, and
little dreamed Of the surprise in store for
me. The door was opened and the cabman
appeared holding one Of the carriage lamps
in his hand.

down opposite to me and began to shuttle
the cards. saying: "A game of beZioue, a

to let ne draw for the deal.

Three Hints for the Home-rIaker.

A woman to whom the ordinary dust-col-
lecting. moth breeding carpet was an
abominati0n and who could not afford to
have all her rooms refoored In hard woods,
adopted this expedient for some Of the sell
hangers heavy wallpaper. dark In color
and conventional in design. She laid the
floor first with brown paper. Then she put
down the wallpaper by first coating 1t with
paste and smoothing 1t down. When the
floor was all paper she sized and vanished
it with dark glue and common varnsh,
which deeDened the color When it was
dry she scattered few rugs about and her
paper carpets have lasted for years.

 The importance of this congress has received recognition from the na- tional government in a circular letter issued by the Hon. Walter Q.

 As delegates will be present from all the states ard territories where rri- gation is carried on, and irpm foreign countries. where this mode cf acricnl- ture has been experimentcd with for years. the discussions will prove of the highest practical value 10 every citizen interested in the development of Arizona.

A WORLDWIDE WORSHIP.
Portrait of the Father of His Country
washinytou as m Gentleman,

Portrait of the Father of His Country
Washington as n Gentleman.
Idoubt If there is any other portrait
of any other individual in the whole
wide world worshiped by so many PEG
Pile as that familiar head of Washing
ton, with its fine features, loving eyes,
and its mouth so spoiled by the arti'
fetal teeth worn a century ago by
those who had lost their own
There never was king or ~potentate
of any sort so truly loved adown the
centuries, so honestly honored, as that
good man and great soldier, the first
president of our dear republic, and ]
believe there never will be.
The father of his country looks down
upon me as l write.
He had the good fortuue to be painted
by artists who could paint fine heads,
and that they made good likenesses OF
him is self-evident We know George
Washington by sight as well as though
he walked the streets to-day and we
could look upon him from our windows.
Washington was the only true patriot
who V lived, for he is the sole char
acter in history who sought nothing
for himself, who thought solely of his
country's good and declined houors
which were laid at his feet by those
who adored him.
l have often seen the question:
what is a gentleman How shall we
define the word? As / gaze at hat be-
loved face upon the wall l say: Per
haps no better illustration of the mean
ing of the word could be found than
George Washington, none who felt SO
thoroughly the distinction of the title,
and did his best to merit it There il
upon the rec ord of his life no action in
which he forgot that he was one. l.
begins with the story of the cherry
tree. The little gentleman could not
lie. 1t goes with him through his do
nestle relations. His love and honor
for his mother, his truth and tender
ness to his wife, his unfailing remem-
brance of the duties of friendship. 1t
was at the bottom of his resignation
of that which most men in his posi-
ton would have grasped grcedily."
A Christian and Il gentleman was he
in the highest sense in which we can
use those words, and if more men were
these at heart, we might hope for fu-
ture patriots as true, if not as great, as
he.
Let George Washington's portrait
hang upon every wall in our free coun-
try, and let his story be written so that
every boy may read and understand It
and make him his modeL-N. Y. Ledger.

There was a plainly apparent huski-
ness in Donald Waldron's voice as he
uttered the last words. All present
recognized it and fully sympathized
with the young man, but the patriotism
the coming event inspired and the
speech and offer he had just made
wrought them up to a high pitch of ex-
citement, and they cheered and APP
plauded vociferously.
The arrangements were Don COM
pleted. Elton Merrick was chosen for
Cornwall is and Archie Hartley to rep
resent Gen. Rochambeau, commandant
of the French allies A lottery plan
was adopted TO divide the men into
British or Americans, and it created
much amusement to see the grimates
of those who were fated to become red
coats.
Donald Waldron was an orphan. His
father, like all the Waldrons before
him, had been simply known as Farmer
Waldron, and their farm was the site
whereon the city OF Beverley was built.
The predecessors of Donald's father
had ever been content as farmers, sat
istied to win a good living from the
soil and ear families up to honest and
the fever of speculation seized old
Roger Waldron. He had an am
bition to grow rich, and the slow
methods of his forefathers were not at
all to his liking. When Don was but 4
lad in waistcoat and knee brooches
his father conceived the idea of having
a town grow upon his land in the place
of corn and wheat. His sagacity
showed him that the place was simply
ideal for that purpose. He subdivided
his acreage and gave literally to men
of mean who would agree to locate
and erect manufacturing plants. The
scheme proved fully as successful rs
he could have wished. Machine
shops, foundries, mills, sprang into life,
and with them came the merchants
and professional men of all kinds, such
as go TO make up n city. Old Roger
realized handsomely o his residence
lots, and in a few years he had accom-
plished his wish and become a rich
man.
But the change from the ways of his
fathers did not end there for Roger
Waldron. The sudden accession to
wealth stirred in him the greed of Il
miser. The result was that from a
hospitable, comfortable. pleasant home
the Waldron residence became a place
Of want and misery and w~retchedness.
Money still poured into the old mans
Golfers, but what he did with it neither
wife nor son could learn. Fortunately
for the wife, perhaps, but the reverse
for her only son, then but twelve
years old, the mother died.
The death of his wife seemed not
only to increase the old mans c%upiditv,
but also his fear of being robbed.
Though prcmaturely old, and weak. !

woodwork. What the people found in
that opening was if anything more
startling than the shot Can upon can
of all sizes and kinds were taken out
and found to be full of money. The
miser's secret hiding place was re-
vealed. Don Waldron's fortune was
found.
