Then mater consoled Ikey with: "Mine son, you shust marry Repecah or Rosa if you want to. They wash not vour sister. Your ladder wash not your ladder" Ikey married Rebecca.

ENCOURAGEMENT.

MEN are ever children. Our de sires only increase in size and our wishes merely keep pace with our mental and physical growth. And so it happens that our ambition directs our efforts to greater things but the boy in us always remains. True we no longer play marbles because poker and faro supply nourishment to the gaming instinct and our desire for an income of 10 cents day becomes an ambition to acquire great wealth, our desire to stand at the head of our school classes becomes a desire to shine in the world of letters or science, the desire for cement from limited circle of friends becomes desire for the worlds apf lauRe And as 1t does not hurt boy to encourage him just so will applause give a. man additional strength. Every true man no Goubt will G" what his duty dictates no matter what men may say or withhold but the granting of this need of encour- agement, this measure of applause gives him so much more spirit to see the line of duty clearly. We presume this to be true of all class es and conditions of men but sure l ly do we know it to be true of the vast class of journalism in which may be found the most brilliant men of our nation and age.
 If there is plan for the ad- vancement of the moral status of a community the newspapers are asked to advocate it: if public building is to be erected, the editor is asked to say something in favor of the plan; if an enterprise Of any magnitude is to be put on a paying basis, again the newspaper is ask ed to push it along Rarely does any one applaud or commend his efforts. Any breath they may have to "waste" on him or his paper is generally expended in grumbling at the advertising rate or the subscription price. While such conditions remain it is 1m- pos sible for him to write cheerfuliy of the business interests of hIs town. So long as his brother merchants stand aloof he can not commend them for like Ishmael he feels that every mans hand IS turned against him and that his hand is turned against every man. It is depressing and disheartening to find that the very men who re fuse to patronize and help sustain his paper will squander their money on every advertising fakir that comes along.
 Do not mistake us and suppose we are "kicking." We are not but We do feel that the people of the town we are trying to build up should place their shoulders against the wheel once in while

IN the "Town Crier'S" column of the San Francisco Neo0s Letter ot March 21,t, may be found the fol- lowing clever hit: We pray Three, Lord, to paint Thy
 sheep
 Our Pastor, Dr. Brown With disinfectantS inches deep, From toe-nail unto crown. Be with him, Lord, in nights gay
 gloom,
 When he might go astray; Nor let him finger in room
 With female sheep to pray. The Council did but do it's best, Excuse, o Lord, our grins). Now bell thy ram, and we will rest Till Judgment Day begins.

A PROTEST.


 stood here by the banks of the Spandiard's red river fighting the battles of Yuma and defending Yuma's name. We have sounded the tocsin of her successes and blown the bugle call of "onward."
 From the time of the Apache raids, of the freighter with his mules, from the time Of the cowboy and the cattle herds, we have marched with the vanguard and endeavored as best we could to lead the 'fending hosts ot our chosen city to the good for which we strive. When the first gang of railroaders came through the hill we were to welcome them. When the bridge builders came to dis place the old ferry we were kere to welcome them. We are the second oldest newspaper in the Territory and have never missed an issue. And in every issue that ever came from this office bearing cur name, we have--let us repeat it-consis- tently fought Yuma's battle. We have done this because it was our duty to do so.
 Day after day letters come to us from writers by the Penobscott, the DaIIes and the Indian river, asking questions about Yuma. No one of them ever reached the waste basket until a properly writ ten, sealed and stamped answer had been sent.
 Week after week, through the columns of this newspaper we have endeavored to reflect credit upon our town. We have done this for duty'S sake and not for hope of gain.
 We have never asked the board of Supervisors to exempt us from taxation as is done in many states, we have never asked the town Council to defray our postal ex- penseS incurred in behalf of the town as is also done in many places; we have never ask ed eXtraneouS aid in any form be- cause we believed that the good We are doing would bear it's fruit and that we should reap with the rest. Indeed we looked upon the proper performance of these things as a part and parcel of our duty.
 But to him who is unprejudiced does 1t not seem that he who tries so hard to make good use of hIs talents should occasionally receive some encouragement?
 To it's patient ploddings news paperman every town owes some thing and Yuma has received nl special dispensation releasing her of this common debt. "Rendel unto Ceaser that which is Ceaser's and unto God that which is God's,' is an injunction as old as Chris tianty.
 We simply ask for that which is ours. And from this time on we will give the "yellow dogs" that which is theirs. The time comes when the practice of patience ceas. es to be a virtue. We have quit playing Patience and wish to give fair warning that we d not pro pose to sit quiescent beneath the lashes of the blackened tongue O lying slander. The "yelIow dogs must keep to their own yards ol their owners will be sorry they left the front gates open.
 We have done.
