IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE RIGHT.

The persistent advertiser is the one who succeeds in busi- ness. The spasmodic advertiser never gets the full worth of his money. In a growing town like Phoenix persistent advertising counts.

There may be some question as to whether ex-President Cleveland's re- cent letter to the sound money demo- crats of Pennsylvania was meant to advise them to support sound money republicans in districts where there is no other way of beating the silver democrats. But there can be no ques- tion that that is the advice which should be given, and followed

THE BEST
POEMS IN
THE WORLD

The poems in this Sc
rics will be admirably
illustrated, and, wher-
ever possible, there will
be given a sketch of the
life of the poet, with q
portrait, and the story
of how each poem came
to be written. The
poems will be selected,
not from the standpoint
of the ultra-litcrary
man or woman, but for
their appeal to lovers OF
sentiment. They will
be poems of the emo
tions-thosc that ap-
peal tothc heart; poems
that tell n story-those
that are filed with hu-
man interest. They be-
long To what may be
called the pOCkc,book

Wanted Flowers.

From the Washington Post.
A certain Southern Congressman was
heard entertaining a company of his
colleagues last week in the Democratic
cloakrOom of the House with an ac-
count of an unusual experience. "Dur-
ing the Woman Suffrage convention"
said he, several ladies from my dis
trict were present. Early in the con-
vention one of them came 10 the Capt.
tOl, called at my committee room, and
requested an interview, which was
readily granted. She stated that the
woman suffrage delegates were to have
some sort of public meeting, in which
she was to participate, and requested
that l should provide floral tribute
to be presented to her on that occasion.
"I was naturally somewhat taken
aback at the suggestion. supposed
in the course Of my twelve years in
Congress that / had exhausted about
every variety of duties that member
of the House is called upon to perform.

Rich Youth at the Front.

From The Washington Post.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done the country
good in more ways than one. He has
not only given the country a first-elass
fighting man, full of brains, energy,
and resources, but has by his example
brought to the front class of men
whose wealth and social position lend
q most encouraging and significant
character to the episode. From all the
clubs and colleges young men of large
means and high standing have begun
TO flock to the Nations banner, ready
TO serve shoulder to shoulder with the
mechanic and the farm hand, the clerk
and the plebian. They are not only ap-
plying for service with Mr.. Roosevelt
himself, but, animated by his prompt
action, they are volunteering every
where. They have made their appear
anee in the navy as well as the army,
and they are showing the country that
the rich man is not the idier and the
drone he has been pictured. They are
proving, on the contrary, that the so
called gilded youth are As eager to aban-
don their luxurious environment in
the country cause as the homely rustic
is to exchange his plow handle for a
musket.
This is manifestation which should
not be overlooked, for it is fraught with
precious meaning. II has been the Gus
tom of certain class of politicians and
newspapers TO berate the wealthy as
selfish beneficiaries of others ill-paid
toll: as useless branacles upon the rock
Of our great strength and glory. We
have been told by ignorant or false wit
nesses that they know not the signifi-
canoe or the practice of true patriot
ism, and that, in time of National en-
ergency they will hide their money and
leave the poor man to bear the burden
Of the day. 1t seems, however, that
millionaires and dandies, elubmen and
eotillion leaders, are Cquipping regi-
men;s, giving yachts, abandoning their
luxurious modes Of life and taking ser
vice on equal terms with their humber
fellows -eitize ns, asking only for chance
TO fight under the Stars and Stripes
and to illustrate their manhood by the
offer of their lives. IL is not the capri
eiuus impulse of the few. 10 is the
spontaneous and comprehensive out
burst Of an entire class. IL palpitates
in hepalaees Of Fifth-ave and Newport
as strongly as in the provincial village
or the remotest rural country side.
They have been called dudes, dandies,
drones and idlers. They have been held
up by demagogues and agitators and the
organs of class hatred TO the contempt
and execratiOn of the multitude. Now,
if opportunity offers, we shall see.
VIII they fight? We promise for them
that they will. But the demonstration
is worth everything even as it stands.
II assures us thai the country, with flag,
its integrity, its Institutions, has all
classes behind it; that the spirit of pa
triotism is alive in the tOpmOst branch
as well a. in the deepest root. Itmakes
Us proud Of our Nation and our people.
Three cheers for the dandies,

A Fortunate Mistake.

A rather curious instance Of how
remedies are stumbled upon sometimes
is reported from England. 1t seems
that a woman who had been victim
of the morphine habit for long time
took some eighteen draehms of sodium
bromide by mistake within fOrty-eight
hours OF course, this was followed by
profound stupor, but five days later the
bromide was resumed, and continued
for three days at the rate Of two draehms
per day. She did not recover from the
profound bromism for ten days, but at
the end Of that time found her appe-
tite for mOrphiue entirely gone. The
doctor who attended her case remarked
the effect it had upon her and deliber-
ately stupefed his next case Of mOrPh-
iomania with bromide, with very hap
py results, the patient entirely losing
his craving for the drug.

Fighting Joe Wheeler.

President Mckinley could not have
done anything more sure to attract the
young men of the south and southwest
to the cOlors, than 20 appoint General
Wheeler, of Alabama, a major general,
for there is no surviving commander Of
the Confederate armies, not even ex-
cepting Fitzhugh Lee, who enjoys the
confidence and affection of so large a
part of the southern people.
Nor is the President likely to be dis
appointed in any estimate he has form
ed of General Wheeler's efficiency in
active service. He is 81 years of age,
which is about as young as man can
he with experience of four years in the
civil war and two years he was gradu-
ated at West Point in 1857 in the Uni
ted States army, and he is sound in
health and strength. All things con-
sidered, his career was perhaps the
must distinguished in the cavalry arm
of tie Confederate service. After the
battle of Shiloh he was placed IN COM
mand of the cavalry of the west and
performed constant, laborious and brili-
liant service. His work was especially
appreciated by General Sherman, to
whom he was opposed during the cam
paign that ended in the capture Of At
lanta. General Sherman is reported to
have said after the close Of the war that
if we ever had to fight foreign foe
General Wheeler and Gen,r Forrest
should have command.
Since the close Of the civil war Gen
eral Wheeler has pursued a straightfOr-
ward, manly and patriotic course,
which has won for him the universal
respect of his associates in Congress.
He has shown there, as he did in the
army, great intelligence and industry
and thorough mastery of his work.

The GrasshOpper War.

About the time the Pilgrim Fathers
came to New England in the Mayflower
(1620), there arose great quarrel and
war between two Indian tribes from a
very Insignificant cause. 1t occurred in
this way.
An Indian squaw, with her little son,
went to visit friend belonging to an
other tribe. On his way the little boy
caught a large grasshopper and carried
it with him. A boy from the other
tribe wanted 1t, but neither coaxing nor
csjoling, nor even threats, would in
duce the little fellow to surrender his
prize. A quarrel took place, which soon
drew the mothers and father into the
dispute, and before long the chiefs Of
both tribes were engaged in struggle
which did not end until one tribe was
almost exterminated.

Condensed War History.

1t has been figured out that the six
teen most memorable battles of the
world were those Of Marathon, Their
mopylae, Philippi, Chalons, Tours,
Hastings, Bannockburn, LutzeD, Span
ish Armada (defeated) J, T'c-eester, Que
bee, Saratoga, Valmy, Trafalgar, Wa
terloo and Sedan, conflicts suggesting
the heroes Alexander, Hannibal, Scip-
10, Caesar, ChaTlemagne, Alfred, Billy
the Conqueror, Charley the Fifth, Bill
the Silent, Richelieu, Cromwell, Pete
the Great, Fred of Prussia, Washing
ton, Nelson, Napoleon, Wellington,
Grant, Lee and Lincoln. Since war
has made so much illustrious history,
and filed dictionaries with long lists
of heroes, il is not TO be wondered at
that ambitious men and nations are
ever ready to fight at the drop Of the
diplomatic hat The temple Of Janus
is seldom shut. This nation, that is Up
years old, was born like the babe on
the field of Waterloo. Beginning the
fight in l775, and declaring Independ-
ence in l776, the war continued until
the surrender of CORVALLIS, in l7Sl.
There were six and one-half years Of
fighting, not counting the Indian and
Braddock conflicts, starting in l7jj.
Then, in short order were the wars with
the Indians, the clash with France and
Tripoli, the invasion of Canada, Per-
ry's victory, the peace at Client in 1914,
followed 10y fight in January 1915, the
wind-up of the three years war. Next
comes along the war with Mexico, in
Texas and around there, peace treaty
being signed in As, followed in three
years by the invasion of Cuba in spite
of presidential proclamation. The Gu
ban fiascO was succeeded by General
Lanes taking foreible possession of dis
puted territory in Mexico in '5S. Next,
in 1854, was the international row be-
tween Uncle Sam and San Juan, Grey
town being bombarded and destroyed
because somebody shot u negro and
somebody else hit some one in the
neck with bottle. Then we had the
hot times in Kansas and the civil war,
and now we have the conflict with
Spain, after a longer peace-S3 years
than the nation had previously enjoy
ed. For a comparatively young, peace
ful, civilized and christian people, it
must be admitted that SO far as war is
we have done fairly well at
the old stand. While we have been
about the millennium we
have been marching right along under
the banner Of Mars and breaking heads
with neatness and dispatch. And when
we get things fixed up nicely in Cuba
we may go over to Armenia, then give
Ireland lift, annex Canada, ineOrpO-
rate Hawaii, relieve the Philippines
and send missionaries and not coal to
the north pole.

lock from its case, prepared it for use,
placed the rear sights, removed the eov-
ers, saw that the printing wires and
minor appliances We're In place, provi-
ded himself with primers, closed the
breech after the sponger had perform
ed his duty and reported TO the divis-
ion officer that all was ready.
The plugman, loader, sponger, lift
man aud shellman arranged their ma
terials for action and fixed the para
phernalia necessary for quick work in
their appointed places. Sponges, tubs,
swabs, cutlasses, revolvers and rifles
were racked within reach, and the belts
for smaller ammunition were hung at
arms length.
The instant the order to "cast loose
and provide" was executed, each man
returned to the position occupied when
the order of silence was given.
The powder tank was brought up
and the captain having inspected the
fuse and the primer, all was ready for
the order to "load.n This order was
instantly followed by No. 9 and 10
hauling up the projeetile and placing
iton the loading tray. No. pushed
it home, assisted if necessary by No. 6,
while 9 and 10 went for another pro-
jectile. The powder charge was then
taken from the tank the cartridge placed
in the tray and showed home by hand.
The gas check and screw lock were
wiped off and No. , closed the breech.
The captain inserted the primer, hook
ed the lock lanyard first and then full
cooked the lock.
"POintw came the command from
the division officer. The gunner's
crew was in position and the great gun
was ready TO send its message of death
at the enemy as soon as the muzzle was
properly trained on the Spanish ship.
The man at the sights had an excel
leus eye, good calculation and a cool
head On a fighting ship he may be
one Of the most obscure men on the
ship, but his superior craftsmanship is
always recognized by every one. 1t
is one of the most responsible positions
in the ship, and Il in the opinion Of
the captain an enlisted man is IA better
pointer than an officer his services are
brought into play at once.
AT the order Commence firing" the
captain pulled the lock lanyard and
the eight-ineh gun vomited forth its
thunderbolt of steel weighing 25O
pounds.
1t was with such cool and calculated
deliberation, but far more quickly than
is here described, that the shots began
to pour from the turrets. Each of the
of the eight-inch guns can discharge
three shots minute.
While these heavy guns were belch-
ing forth death and destruction, the
secondary battery and rapid-fire guns
were sending a fIsilade of smaller pro
jectiles into the ranks of the enemy.
From the six and four-pounders per-
feet rain of shots was kept up, while
from behind tie. steel protection the
gunners operating the one-pound rapid
fire guns were pulling triggers as fast
as they could work their fingers. 1t
was not until the engagement was
brought to a close that the men thought
of themselves, or the danger they had
passed through.
