The Pace That sKills.

In looking up word in the diction-
airy several days ago my eyes fell on
the definition of "emulation"-"th act
of attempting to equal or excel in quail
tiles or actions; rivalry; desire of SUI
periority, attended with effort to at
tain it,"
Only the evening before we had been
talking about little woman who was
once pretty, but now has harassed
and anxious expression of countenance.
What Is the matter with herr" ask
ed one. 1t was physician who an
swered:
"She has no disease. She Is wearing
herself to death by emulation of other
people. The strain will kill her If she
keeps it up. Nobody in this world can
stay first"
His words and the dictionary defini-
ton set me to thinking. Are not many
women killing themselves by this same
process? And how drearily unprofit-
able it all is, when one considers the
truth of the physicians statement that
nobody in this world can stay first"
Nobody! For, strive as we may,
there is always some one with little
more money, handsomer house, more
ihhoOhSC, VI pCihoPo iHoiS pi1iho.
There is merit in the desire to make
the best of ourselves and of the talents
given us. There is no credit due her
who, because of "a desire for superior
ity" over another, wears herself out in
attempting to do that which she can
not perform. Is this not one reason
for the nervous, anxious look on the
faces of our American women? They
strive to dress as well as neighbors
with double their income; they give
entertainments that empty the never
too-full purse, and they buy furniture
for which they can only pay by rigid
self-denial.
Were we only content as women to
do just that which we can easily af-
ford, how much more peaceful our lives
would be, how much better our chill
dren, how much more care-free and
youthful our men-these American
husbands, the best in the world, who
cannot bear to have their wives long
for things that by an additional strain
they might give them. And would not
our lives be longer in the land?-Har-
pers Bazaar.

Treatment OF the Bodice.

She is an unwise woman who hangs
up her Jacket by loop at the back Of
the neck. 1t makes the coat sag where
the strain comes. and it gives it a
dragged and droopy appearance. If
loops are used at all they should be at
the armholes, and SO put on as to stand
upright, and are not stretched across
an inch or so of space. This obviates
the pulling at the cloth. But the best
way to keep coat fresh and in good
shape is to keep it, when not in active
service, on a wooden hanger.

CONGRESS AND VICINITY DOingS of a Prosperous
 Camp. How Christmas Was Merrily
 Spent. The Children'S Ship Came Sailing In-DetalIs of a Pleasant
 Wedding.

CONGRESS, Ariz., Jan. 1.-The Con- ported as having fine Christmas en- tertainment. Arrangements for an extensive seating capacity had been made at the residence of Dr. Hamilton and, to use an Irish expression, the tree was a boat. David Gage had designated and superintended the con struction Of small sloop rigged yacht. The snug little craft was about ten feet over all, with leg O mutt ton and jib sails. Decorated with pop corn ratlines and hawsers, and loaded with candy and other goodies, minia- ture copies of 'fOld Glory" at many points she was a bright and pretty nov me by the youngsters, red lights were burned behind the yacht while an i'm posing Santa Claus made the little ones happy with presents of candy and nuts. The ladies had provided re- treatments for all present, the young
 
 to dream of Santa Claus.
 Until the wee sna' hours the guests were coming and going between the refreshment tables and the ball room for which purpose the boarding house had been arranged. The young men had arranged the ball and the Christ mas celebration refreshments were relished after the dancing had gone on for an hour or two.
 On Christmas day a pleasant home wedding occurred at the residence of w. W. Gibson. At high noon Miss Lillie ID. Gibson, leaving her twin sis ter, Miss Rose to the estate of single blessedness, was married to MT. W. F. Miller, Rev. H. A. Thompson oficiat- ing. The young people received the congratulation of the many friends and relatives present. The presents were appropriate and tasteful. After a sumptuous repast the party drove around the mountain to Congress, where MT. and Mrs. Miller will be at home in their neat, new cottage.
 The Congress Gold company are making steady improvements about the camp and plant A new bunk house is about finished and will be at once occupied. At the cyanide plant steam power disintegrator has just been constructed. To furnish power for this and for drawing the cars ot ;tailings to and from the vats, fine }boiler and engine, the work of the Union Iron works of San Francisco have just been placed. At the upper hoist is being set what is without doubt the finest steam boiler in Ari- Zona. The shell is constructed of two open hearth homogeneous steel plates 7-16 of an inch in thickness. The heads, riveting and bracing are al specimens of excellent material anG workmanship and up to date in al matters of modern scientific boiler construction. Below the boiler art tubular heaters evidently drawn with out seam from steel. This addition tt the plant is a credit to the enterpris, and technical judgment of the com pany. TAN.

For the first time since the Civil
War, the American people have
witnessed the calamitous conse
quences of full and unrestricted
Democratic control Of the Govern
ment. 1t has been a record of I'M
paralleled incapacity, dishonor and
disaster. In administrative man.
agement it has ruthlessly sacrifc
ed indispensable revenue, entailed
an unceasing deficit, eked out or
binary current expenses with bor-
rowed money, piled up the public
debt by 1862, 100000 in time of
peace, forced ON adverse balance of |
trade, kept a perpetual menance
hanging oyer the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien
syndicates and reversed all the
measures and results Of successful
rule. In the broad
effect of its polcv it has precipitat-
ed panic, blighted industry and
trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories. reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while
stimulating foreign production for
he American market. Every con-
liberation of public safety and in
interest demands that the
government shall be rescued from
he hands OF those who have shown
themselves incabable of conducting
without disaster at home and dis
onor abroad and shall be restored

Ii Mckinley had been elected
speaker Of the Fifty first congress
as he so earnestly desired ne might
not and probably would not have
been nominated for president yes
terday. When he was defeated by
Reed he felt that his career had
been blasted; but if he had been
successful Reed would have been
chairman of the ways and means
committee; the name of the man
from Maine would have been at
tached to the tariff law enacted at
that session, and he would probably
nave been the popular choice for
the presidency. AS Mckinley
ooks back upon his feeling of dis
appointment at the time of his de-
eat for the speakership, he must
eel that he is either a man of luck !
r a man of Statesman. |
