ra~ mron mAuleNro BOSTON GIRL.

Camping on Copper River glacier must come nearer resembling the hugging of Boston girl than any other occupation known to mortal ma,l.-Los Angeles Times.
 Mrs. Charlotte Smith, who asks the president to enlist a few regi- ments of Boston girls for the Cuban war, evidently thinks they would have a modifying effect on the eli mate. Chicago Record.
 The two foregoing items appear ed the same day in two widely sep arated papers, and such items have a popular run through the press.
 TIE OASIS arises to defend the Boston girl from both experience and observation. When she re- moves her glasses, lays down her Greek and Latin grammar and lex icons, and lays hold of love making seriously as she does everything she undertakes-th Boston girl be- comes a veritable assay furnace.

LAST week the senate rejected the nomination of Thos. Hughes to be postmaster at Tucson. The press reports from Washington say he failed to meet the charges against him, aud was consequently thrown out. And 1t is creditably stated that some of the men who presented the charges against MT. Hughes are themselves known to have committed most heinous offences against peace, good order and decency. This running to Washington with charges against aspirants to office is most vile and reprehensible practice. Decent men will not do so.

WE'LL PUT ArrHr WRONG rIuE.

The trouble with most young men is that they do not understand the dignity of manual labor. They do not realize that honors and fortune may be more readily re- alized outside of the so-calIed learned professions than in them, and that it is just as honorable to swing a hammer or hold a blow as it is to make a speech in court or amputate limb. The lesson young men should be taught as early as possible is that it is not so much what a man does for living as 1t is how he does it, and that manual labor is as honorable as any other. -Coconino Sun.
 THE OASIS doubts whether the Sun has sized up the situation cor rectly. It is not the lack ol dignity in manual labor which makes 1t so unattractive to the youth about to select a life vocation; it is the meagreness of the reward, the greater rewards in the professions, and the outside opportunities those who follow them enjoy. Tt IS just as honorable"--no one disputes that-''to swing a hammer or hold a blow as to make speech Ill court or amputate a limb" but the man who makes a speech Ill court is paid as much for making 1t as the man who swings hammer can earn in a month, or perhaps year of daily toil, while the ampu- tation brings the operator as much money as the plowman can earn in three months or more For draw ing a contract or deed-an hours work-the veriest jack lawyer will charge as much as the man who swings hammer can earn in two days, and for feeling of your pulse, looking at your tongue and writing a lot of gibberish in hog Latin doctor gets as much money as the plowman earns in a week. To prate about "the dignity of labor" to the young, ambitious man, who weighs these things and sees the full value of money and leisure, when he is studying the choice of a lifelong vocation, is to open your self to flout from the youth some thing like this: "Go to, grey beard, thy wisdom is for the hus- tings only, and should be reserved until you are after the votes of the great unwashed." :"

time was at plaintiffs very earnest entreaty,
as is disclosed by her letters. If the conduct
OF defendant had been SO disgusting and hor-
r1ble as she now claims, and that had been
the cause of the separation, her conduct on
this occasion was incomprehensible. Her
letters to defendant while temporarily absent
in December, exhibit the most fervent affection
for him and the greatest regret at the loss of
his society even for a day. To none of the
many physicians who treated her did she as
sign the reason of her physical condition
which she now gives, and to one of them,
shortly before she left the defendant she as
signed an entirely different cause for the an
ticipated separation. Defendant in his answer
upon the stand has denied the charge against
him. Without alluding to other considera-
lions, and whatever may have been the cause
OF the troubles which these young people
have unfortunately fallen into, and whoever
may be responsible, 1 feel constrained to hold

HIS PLACE ON THE STATE PHAR-
MACY BOARD Is TAKEN BY
ANOTHER.
J. B. ATKINSON, FROM MEEKER,
VERY TROUBLESOME STATE
BUREAU.
NUMBER OF REAPPo1NTMENTs
are Made by Cow C1ough In Other
Departments as Rewards for
MeritOrious Services.

While Gov. Clough handed down a.
liberal allotment of appointments to
state boards yesterday, in only one
case was 1t true that new man was
eleVated TO public station, this being
James Benton Atkinson of Litchfield,
Meeker county, who takes the place on
the state board Of examiners in
pharmacy made vacant by the expira-
tlon OF the term of L. A Harding,
who at the time of his appointment
nailed from Fergus Falls, but has
since established a college of phar-
macy in st. Paul.
The appointment of the Meeker coun-
ty man restores the country dis
tr-cts to their former represen-
tat1on on the board. There has been
no little criticism of Mr.. Harding's
administration on the board, and in one
case it went SO far that Mr. Harding
has sued for libel one of the Mime
apolls papers which published the
charges against him.
Inc appointment will probably not be
contested this time, the right of the
governor to make any appointment he
sees mt on this board having been
= thoroughly aired last winter at the
time that Truman Griffin, of Mime
apol1s, was appointed in the face of
the protest of the state pharmaceutical
association. Mr.. Atkinson's appoint
ment, while it may not widen the
preach between that association and
the governor, is not generally con-
s1dered as in any sense a conciliatory
step.
The other appointments made yes
to-day, in each case renewals of the
service of sitting members, were as
fellows:
