PHOENIX STREETS.

That beautiful piece of art is a poor picture of the scene as it really is,' said traveller at the Adams as he gazed at the scene of the Grand can yon hanging over the fireplace in the hotel lobby. ''To a person who has not seen the Grand canyon the picture may appear to be an eXaggeration, but to me it falls a long way short of presenting the canyon as nature has painted it. The life of the real scene gives it a grandeur the artist cannot portray But I like to sit here and gaze at the picture just the same. It brings back my visit to the great canyon, and freshens the scenes my memory has clung to for three years I will never forget the first visit I made to the canyon. I stepped out of the stage at the rim of the canyon with my valise in my hand. The stage dri- yer pointed out the hotel but I did not heed him; man took my valise out of my hand and walked off with it, but still I stood with my eyes riveted on the great chasm stretching out before me entirely obliv1ous to what was go- ing on about me. When I went to the hotel the guests were eating supper, and I found I had stood on the rim for half an hour"
 What did I say when I first came upon the Scene?"
 ''I don't remember saying anything, but when I turned to go to the hotel had tucked away in my memory a picture I will always retain there to draw before the curtain of my eye at my will. The poverty of pen pie ture of the Grand canyon is even more apparent than an artists attempt to paint it.''

Tt is great scheme worthy of the wizard, Edison. But have heard SO much of what this valley has produced that I am not surprised that it has matched out a scheme of such magnitude"
 What is this scheme you refer to?" inquired friend seated near.
 Haven't you heard of it?" said MT. O'Malley. Why, the scientific papers have taken it up. and the world is talking about it day and night. The idea. I believe, is to place large mag

STORIES OF PROSPERITY.

When newspaper readers are told of the wonderful discoveries of gold in the Klondyke and elsewhere, and when they read of men making for tunes in one winter by simply wash ing out few tons of dirt to find the precious metal, they are seized with envy and an ambition to go and do likewise. They forget the months of toll and hunger and suffering that generally precedes such sudden" ac- quisitions of wealth. But the stories that are now coming from Kansas are almost as thrilling as those that come from the Klondyke.
 MT. Franklin Matthews, in the cur rent issue of Harper's Weekly, gives several prosperity anecdotes that read almost like romance. One man who had worked and stinted himself and family for years finally got a check for seven thousand dollars for his wheat and at once equipped his family with clothes and carriages and piano, putting the rest of the money into more land, but reserving four thousand bushels of wheat to live on for two or three years. His fortune came, but he had to work hard for it.
 Another man had a $6,000 mortgage on a $7,000 farm, but he has recently cancelled the mortgage, bought an- other section of land, and laid aside s4,00O for droughty period. Still an- other man who had a one-thousand dollar farm, and who had been trying to get any odd job he could, has just gathered in 5000 for wheat. Another man, who had 320 acres and a mort gege of $500, has paid the mortgage, s2,50O, and had $1, ,250 left for improve ments and running expenses. Yet another farmer, who believed that sil- yer and wheat always kept together was an ardent populist in 1896, but now he has sold his wheat for nearly seventy cents bushel, has paid of his mortgage and finds that silver and wheat have parted company. Now he 1 is a republican and the advocate of ar honest dollar.
 These are stores from Kansas an6 MT. Matthews tells another story o1 1 Nebraska, which has different sound but which is an object lesson in the direction of impressing upon men tht l folly of pinning their faith on falst gods like Bryan and his crew. Si1 1 populists last year were told, and be-
 lieved what they were told, that sil yer was going down and that whea
 would follow. Then they went to al elevator man and insisted upon sell
 their wheat in advance for 45 cents bushel. The elevator man was hon
 est and told them not to sell, as whea
 was going up and they would mak,
 money by holding out for bette prices. But the misguided populist
 insisted upon making a contract a 45 cents a bushel for future delivery

Perhaps you do not know that The Republican is the only newspaper in this region that printed Wednesday morning the account of the Maine disaster. Our alleged competitors did not print a line of the most import ant news of the year until hours after it had appeared in this newspaper. The Republican yes terday presented seven columns of news supplementary to the first announcement of the trag- edy. The Gazette contented it. self with printing two columns stolen bodily from the Herald of Wednesday evening.
 With it's exclusive morning Associated Press reports the Arizona Republican has no competition in the business of printing the news. It leads the procession.

Norway. Me-, October s5.-Guy Newell
and Albert Crossman, NJ massachusetts,
hunt smen, were arraigned before the
Municipal court today on the charge of
breaking and entering an unoccupied
farm building and building fire therein.
They were found guilty and sentenced to

money enough with them to pay this fine
they were taken to the county jail until
they could get remittanc from home.
They are thought to be quite we'll known

The two men said they went into an

Story of the Roman Brothers Who Psr-

ST. Crispin and his brother Crispinian
(always associated together in the calen-
dar) were two natives of Rome, who, hay-
ing become converts to Christianity, sot
out for Gaul to preach the faith about the
middle Of the third century, along with
St. Quintin and others. The brothers set
tied at Scissors, where, in imitation OF the
apostle Paul, they preached publicly In
the daytime and worked with their hands
at night, earning their own subsistence BY
making shoes, though nobly born. They
supplied the poor at low price, and
legend tells US that an angel supplied them
with leather The heather listened to
their instructions and were astonlehed at
the charity, disinter estedness, plety and
contempt of glory displayed IN their lives,
and many were converted to the Christian
Z faith ~
After they had been thus engaged for
several years the Emperor Maximianns
Herculius came into Belgic Gaul, and q
complaint was made to him against the
brothers. He, desiring to crafty their ao-
