The Man of Ahject Fear May Bs a Nervous

The Man Of A h1ect Fear May hu Nervous
 Invalid.
 There is an old and often told story of the officer who claimed more cred it for his own conduct under fire than for that of his men They were not afraid. and so they stood steady" he argued, but didn't run away, although l was most damnably afraid" The reason of that oonten- ton is one that is generally admitted, and the world is not slow to acknowl edge the virtue of the constitutional coward whose courage lies in his force of will. for there is such thing as constitutional cowardice, and it can be conquered if a mans spirit is greater than the tremor of bis nerves.
 When the natural tremor is the stronger and overcomes his will, then we write him down coward. But what can be said of the man who makes no effort at all and cares not in the least whether he be called a coward or mott AS yet one cannot believe that there are many such men, but at the same time it is im- possible to ignsrs the fact that in- stances of this weak surrender ara growing more plentiful, and that there is the same tendency 10 palli- ate cowar,hce that now seeks to pal liate drunkenness and crime In the old days the drunkard and the thief were not overtenderly handled. lt was held that they sinned through what the American calls ''cussed. ness, " and it was judged that cussed' ness could best be cured by being whipped or put in the pillory or oth- erwise strongly repressed
 Now 1t has been discovered that the poor sinners are afflicted with mental disease. and serious doubts are cast on the humanity of forcible restraint, even though that restraint takes the mild form of short terms of imprisonment. With much more truth might it be represented that the coward cannot command his nerves, and that as a nervous inva lid he rather merits pity than con tempt Such a view may be more humane and charitable, but 1t Is far from being expedient. By all means let us hold it, if we will, with regard to a particular coward here and there, but heaven forbid that we should ever hold it with regard to cowardicc in general It Is not in the least likely that we ever shall do so, for the results would be so imme- diate and so deplorable that a healthy reaction would very soon set in. -.

Eneot of Salt Water Upon Bricks.

Bricks made upon seacoasts must be carefully guarded from salt air or water during the manufacturing process. They are by far more dura- ble if made some distance inland. The brackish water of the coast in- duces speedy disintegration, unless the bricks are completely covered by Q coating of practically impervious cement to keep air and moisture from them. When thoroughly vitri-
 fed, bricks made with fresh water will endure sea air for a long tune, but even then protection and occa- sional patching up pay we'll for the trouble. New York Ledger.

THE oYCLERs.
The Reach Phenix IR Good Time .-Aa
 Easy aud speedy Run.

J. Nj. Aitken, in a letter to this paper from Phenix, dated Sunday, has the following to say of the trip on bicycles he, Akers and Derwin made:
 "Our actual riding time from Prescott to Phenix was l7 hours exactly. We could have shortened this time, but preferred to feel our way in many places, thus avoiding the probability of accidents Sd common to wheels where rough roads arc met with.
 "Our time table on the last diyis- ion IS as follows:
 Left Goddard's 2:l5 Saturday.
 Arrived at Alkire's ranch a. 5:l5 for supper
 Left Alkire' ranch at 6:50.
 Arrived at New River at 7;O.
 Left New River at 5:30 Sunday morning.
 Arrived at Arizona Canal 7:40
 Arrived at Four Mile House st s:IO.
 Left Four Mile House at 900.
 Arrived at Phenix ct 9:lb.
 We have not yet decided when to return, owing to the length of the meeting of the Grand Lodge, Mir. Akers will probably tie his wheel on the stage and ride on the inside in returning to Prescott, but Derwin and myself will travel home as We came-on wheels-and believe We can make the trip in two days, eaSY.
 ~We rode from New River to Pheni1, 35 miles, in 3 hours, exclu- siye of stops, and had two miles of sand.
 "The Bicycle Club of Phenix held a meeting Sunday morning for the purpose of going out on the road to conduct us to town, but while doing so We rode iu. They believed 1t would be noon before we could reach town from New River.
 The trip has been a delightful one, and l sm more than glad that l adopted the bicycle mode of mak- ing it.
 Several Phenician wheelmen will come to Prescott soon, and, in all probability a few may accompany us on the return trip"

Knights of Pythias.

The Knights of Pythias have stOrmed Phenix and are now in peaceful and undisputed possession. They began investing it on Sunday but appeared in small bodies so that no alarm of volution was ex- cited. Yesterday morning they began by arriving in brigades from all parts of the territory and Phenix threw up its hands.
 The grand lodge is in session and this convocation of Knights is the largest and grandest ever held in the territory. Nearly every lodge in Arizona is not only represented, but is we'll rePres ented.
 This session derives a special in- terest from the fact that Supreme Chancellor W. w. Blackwell, of Henderson, Kentucky, the foremost Pythian in the world, is present. He arrived yesterday morning and at once passed into the hands of local Knights, who have since heaped upon him such honors as befit his lofty rank.
 The session of the grand lodge convened at noon on Monday, with the following grand officers present: E. P. Secrist, P. G. C.; J. c. Perry, G. C.; Geo. Schuerman, G. V. C.; J. G. Prichard. G. P; W. D. Mon monier, 0. NJ. of E.; J. J. Hill, G. K. of R. & S.; W. A. McGinnis, G. NJ. at A.; T. NJ. Vaughn, G. I. G.; E. Marks, G. O.. G.
 Besides the representatives there were present past chancellors B. A. Fickas, B. Hattich, John Duke, Fred Fleishman, W. W. Vigus, J. P. Dillon, Harry Drachman, F. J. Coyle, J. B. Peers, W. E. Landgrebe.
 No other formal business was transacted than the hearing of the report of the committee on creden- tlals after which Supreme Chancellor Blackwell exemplifed the unwritten work.
 Announcement was made of the purpose of the Phenix Knights to give a banquet at the Commercial last night to the supreme chancellor and the grand lodge and the session was adjourned. It will finally ad- journ on Wednesday night.

Growing Heads.

Heads grown, sir, observed my natter one day to me, manipulating the interior of my topper with foot rule, and when indignantly dis claimed the soft impeachment he added, Al my customers heads grow. sir, up to 65. excepting the ecclesiastical gents, and theirs don't grow after 25." Herein doubtless lies the reason why clerical head gear is so characteristic of the man beneath, for never was u greater fal- lacy chan the adage that it Is not the cowl that makes the monk.

 If the Tucson bicyclists are really in earnest about the challenge for a long-distance race from Nogales to Tucson, there are half dozen Phe- nix wheelmen who would like noth- ing better than to join iu the con- test. The route selected is probably the best stretch of road in the south west, and over it the long distance record would probably be broken by some of our fast riders. The race would also be notable from the dis tance travelled, seventy-two miles being g stretch that racing wheel men rarely Gazette.
