MEN PREFERRED AS BoARDERs.

In speaking Of women as boarders, a
thrifty woman who earns her livelihood
by making a pleasant abode for those
who seek room and board with her was
heard TO say:
Women should always be required
10 pay more than men when it comes to
boarding. They are double the trouble.
They spoil the furniture, get stains on
the carpets, and it is really worth twice
the money TO have thea in the house.
The only thing about them that makes
them at all desirable is that they do pay
their board bills, and that is more than
men always do. l used to think is was
an old maids idea when heard people
say that women were so much trouble
in a house. but now know it is not.
don't know that l blame the women !:
perhaps | would do the same thing in
the same place; presume / should. 1t
is natural for woman to want a home.
She is like a cat in a strange garnet
without one: so when she has only one
room, she tries to make a home of it.
She has little stove and she gets her
meals, she washes and she irons. You
go to the bathroom and find that the
water will not run in the set bowl be-
cause the outlet is filed with her potato
Feelings and your bath tub is all broken
up with her washbOard The woman
has her home life; it is pleasant for her,
but it is hard for the woman who keeps
the house"

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Territory of Arizona, Executive Department.

The laws of the U nited States desig nate the first Monday in September of each year as legal holiday to he known IS Labor Day.
 When we reflect that labor IS the foundation and creator of all wealth that upon it depends all happiness and all excellence; that it is labor that builds up great States and carries on the commerce of the world, the wis dom of this enactment is apparent, and especially is it 30 when applied to the people of our territory who are laboring to develop its various re- sources and establish for themselves happy homes. Our busy and indus triOus communities contain but few drones, hence nearly all can be classed as laborers-the m' chanic, the mer- chant. the miner, the lawyer, the far mer, the divine, the banker, the phy- sician, the teacher and the clerk, as well as he who performs the more se- we're task Of daily manual labor, are laborers in the best sense of the word, for while many earn their daily bread by the sweat of their face and others by the work of their brain, they ,ars all toilers.
 A general observance of the day SO wisely set apart by Congress will tend to promote a higher appreciation of the dignity of labor and the great part 1t is taking ill the building up of our Territory, aud the great republic of which we hope soon to become 6 State. To bring labor of all kinds into closer relations with itself and with other interests, to inculcate a friendly feeling and hearty co-opera- tion between labor and capital. thus encouraging good will between all classes of the community with & view to pleasant and reciprocal relations is the great object of this observance of Labor Day.
 Now, therefore, l, Myron H. Mc- Cord, Governor of Arizona, do pro- claim and declare Monday, the sixth day of September, one thousand, eight hundred and ninety-seyen, a legal holiday, and do most earnestly recom- mend that all business of whatever nature, except such as the necessities ] of the community require to be car ried on, be suspended on that day, that all who desire may have an op- portunity to observe the day in & manner be1tting the smportance of the occasion.
 Let us not forget that Labor Day is IS important and to future genera tions will become as suggestive and inspiring as the religious and patri- otic holidays that our people 30 loy- ally and religiously observe. ..

Is Life Worth Liyingi

If there is an individual on earth who is excusahle for thus interrogat- ing himself, it is the unhappy mortal who suffers from malaria in some one of it's diabolical forms. This is no difficult conundrum, however. Life is worth living by any man or woman who enjoys good health, and is not harrassed by q reproachful conscience. The malarial scourge, heavily laid on, is terrible one for the poor sufferer to endure. A series of .freezings, scorchings and sweats-the last leav- ing one as limp and as strengthless az a dish rag, are hard indeed, recurring as they do with fiendish regularity. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the worldwide known preventive and curative of this class of maladies, either in the form of ague and fever, bilious remittent. dumb ague and ague cake. Used with persistence they will, rely upon it, eradicate disease from the system. They also conquer rheumatism, kidney and bladder com plaints, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, and renew ailing strength.
