less peep into the room showed his eyes
glued rapturously to the picture, while
about his lips the hint of a smile be-
trayed that his absorbing interest was
pleased one. Since then at intervals
his morning picture is changed, not too
frequently, for a child demands reitera-
tion, until the boy has become a small
connoisseur in famous paintings, and
his occasional short visits to an art
gallery are great delight to him be-
cause of his matin studies. The first
ten minutes of childs day are a most
valuable receptive period. The young
brain is refreshed by sleep, unexcited
by any of the days occupations, eager
for Impressions and peculiarly respon-

A writer on child-study considers
that equally important with the first

last strongly imprinted impression be
soothing one. A gentle voice, a short,
easily comprehended tale with no sad

any sort, will send the temporarily keen
but fast succumbing faculties off into
sunderland under the best and most

Why Oid Clocks Have HIT.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
 Not ever one who looks at the dial of clock knows that the four Is which are in place of the usual " to to designate the number I are there because of the obstinacy of Charles V of France. When Henry Vic carried to the king the first accurate clock the king said to him that the " was wrong and should be changed to HI. Yick sand, "You are wrong, your majesty" Whereat the king thun- dered out, T am never wrong. Take it away and correct the mistake. !" From that time to this day the four Is have stood at the mark of the fourth hour.

A good company occasionally plays lot Flagstaff, but the above named company carried off the palm so far thls season. They played here Thurs day, Friday and Saturday nights. and the increase in the attendance each successive night was evidence of how
 well their playing was appreciated by our people.
 They kept the audience we'll enter tained from the time the curtains were raised until the close of the play. Each one plays his or her part well, aud consequently they leave little room for criticism. This company will play here again in few weeks and they will be greeted by packed house.

Tn. Red Man win ,yorG

Monday two or three MoquI Indiani obtained some lumber from the Arl- zona Lumber < Timber Co.,, by pur- chase, or otherwise, and freighted t down through town on thelr shoulders to their camp at the east side of town.
 A reporter of THE SuN-DEMocRAr visited the camp and found one of the redmen sitting flat down on the earth sewing the lumber into pieces with . dull hand saw. What qse was going to be made of tic lumber is ppknowH to us. As we, don't speak the language fluently. we didn't interrogate him, but there is one thing certain that an Indian will work if he has to set down in order to get to work.

THE following from the Washington Post is full of truth. It says: "When a bank is wrecked hundreds of inno. cent persons are affected. many oi them ruined. Suicides often follow, The savings of years are lost. the in- heritance of widows and children is dissipated and the villain who is re- sponsible for these disasters gets few years in the renitcntlary and is then pardoned and put into position to prey on the public again. The plead ings of influential citizens, or of a loving and persistent wife or daughter will eject pardon and the criminal walks the streets free man. Such men are far more dangerous to a community than known robber. and deserves less consideration.

SEVERELY CENTuRED.

The Arizena Silver Belt has opin
 ions of it's own and the nerve to ex
 press them. Here is what 1t says o1 Gov. McCord's abuse of the pardon ing power.
 Probably the pardoning power wa. never more outrageously abused than 1t was last week by Governor McCod when he released and restored to citi, zenship two of the most notorious criminals confined in the territorial prison-Halford and Stiren. convicted and sentenced to 25 years imprison. ment for train robbery on the Atlantic < Pacific, in 1889, which was one oi the most daring hold-ups ever at tempted in Arizona. And it was only through the indomnitable courage and perseverance, of Buckey O'Neill, then sheriff of Yavapai county. that they and their two confederates were pur- sued into Utah. captured, tried and convicted. They were delt leniently with, receiving each sentence of im- prisonment, when they should have been hanged. There is no justifica- tion, neither can there be any pallia- tion, for granting clemency to sucn hardened criminals, and McCord is deserving of the severest censure. The governor is making record for himself in the pardoning of convicts such as no previous executive dared attempt, and in this. as in other matters connected with the territorial government over which he has control he has acted in high-handed aud autocratic manner. If retribution ever overlook man McCord should suffer the penalty of his sins against Arizona.

AN exchange in speaking of every one depending on himself says: That old adsge, let every tub stand on It's own bottom, is one that will hold good in all things. Self reliance is one of the principles upon which the theory is founded. We like to see . man self-reliant, resting upon and trusting to his own resources. With most men there are distinct individ- ualism which when properly directed is noble and admirable attribute of their natures. Persons bolstered up by others all their lives are seldom good for anything in crisis. Outside help is mans greatest curse. It stihes aspirations and effort and en- orgy. A good maxim for every youth of our land would be: For success in this life, rely chiefly upon himself and his own independent energies. And this rule will apply to business concerns as well as individuals.

Poor Relations.

Like thorns in your prosperity are your poor relations. They are always cropping up atinopportune times. and they are forever basking in the reflect ed light of your greatness and your soclal prominence. They come to your funerals and presume to Min gle their tears with yours; they oven spend their money for flowers. They call you by your given name and they name their children after you. They have 70 many children.
 Poor relations have no conception as to relative values, they have such extravagaut tastes. They like beef steak with butter-gravy on it. and they like extract in their pudding sauce, and they like to go the matinee. No wonder they are poor! They have an eye to your apparel, and they won- der how soon you will pass 1t oyer to them. They even like silk Innings. They happen in at meal-time with their fulsome appetites, and when you have company too, and they never know enough to go home; and then they ask for the second plate of soup. Poor relations have such good diges- ton. If they are not too poor to have aspirations they contrive to give their children few lessons in music and elocution. thereby encouraging in them tastes away beyond their sphere. They are not so poor az they deserve to be.
 Then their children grow up and are good looking, and even happy, and they all paddle about on the sea of life in their leaky old craft of mis- fortune, bound for nowhere, 50 long as they can float; and they have better time than anybody.
 Poor relations are deadly nuisance.
