Grim Hunor.

AS Mr.. Files was not quite clever
enough to attain the knowledge of hui
man nature which assists so materially
in success, he made unremitting and
universal suspicion substitute. He
had managed to accumulate fair share
Of property, but not enough TO compen-
safe for disliking so many people and
being disliked by them. He had been
discussing some matters of business
with a commercial acquaintance and
had need of certain documents. He rang
bell, and frightened looking Office
boy appeared.
''Tell Spriggs to come here" said
Mr.. Files, and the boy hurried as if he
feared his employer would change his
mind and cut off escape. Mr.. Spriggs
appeared, young man with vacant
eye and double chin. He gazed list
lessly at the ceiling while Mr.. Files in
structed Aim to get key from one
man, tin box from another and some
stationery from third. Spriggs had
difficulty in catching the names of the
men, and at last had to have them writ
ten ON piece of paper. AS the young
man departed Mr.. Files made gesture
in his direction and said:
There goes my most trusted en-
ployee."
"Has he been with you long," in
quired the visitor.
"No. He came day before yesterday. :"

A Considerate Rector.

The rector of small country parish
in the midlands had lived among his
people a simple, unobstrusive life,
which had endeared him to the hearts
of those who knew him. In very cold
weather he would invite the congrega-
ton to come and warm themselves at
the stove before leaving the church.
Under other conditions of weather his
thoughtfulness for the comfort Of his
flock took somewhat different form,
and at the end of half hours sermon
he would sometimes say, "As the
weather is still so inclement will, my
dear friends, lengthen my discourse
somewhat in the hope that it may clear
later. "-Cornhill Magazine.

How to Prevent Dreams.

after series of experiments on my.
self and others, (" ventured an expert.
enced physician to reporter, II am
convinced that many annoying dreams,
which in many instances rob sleep of
much of its recreation and benefit, can
be prevented if persons will take the
trouble to do SO. There are dreams
which are produced by an overloaded
stomach and indigestion. These can be
prevented by not overlooking the
stomach and taking care, especially in
perience has demonstrated is not easily
digested. A fairly filled stomach is,
however, less conducive to dreams than
an absolutely empty one. think can
safely say that if those persons who are
troubled much by dreaming will wear
extra long sleeves to their nightgowns
they will find remedy thereby. What
is even better than long sleeves is to put
q rubber cord in the hem of the sleeves,
so that they will not slip up on the arm.
The rubber cord should not be tight
enough to interfere any way with the
circulation of the blood in the arms but
still tight enough to keep the ends of
the sleeves we'll down on the wrists.
"To the bachelors and others who can
not have their sleeves properly arranged
the same effect can be secured by wear
ing a wristlet on the wrist, or, better
yet, to pull q sock over the hands and
pin the leg Of it to the sleeves Of the
nightgown. In addition to preventing
dreams this simple arrangement will be
found extremely comfortable during the
cold nights of the next couple Of months
A little inquiry will convince any one
that those whose wrists and forearms
are uncovered are annoyed most by
dreams The sock used as kind of an
extended glove will effectually stop
them, but it must be attached to the
sleeve of the nightgown; otherwise the
sleeve will work up the arm and the
desired effect be lost. My remedy, in
brief, is to keep the hand, wrist and
forearm we'll covered. - Washington

He is closely identified with the mining inter- ests of the territory and has the wei fare of the territory at heart.

We recommend to all persons who are interested in Ari- zona'st welfare careful perusaI Of Col Onal/ Beans remarks. They are full of meat.

AN HISTORICAL WOMAN.
n Arizona Woman Who Fought
 Apaches Dies at Kingnan.

The death of Mrs. A. l.. McKssson at Kingman last week recalls an incident in Ter career which will be remena- bered by many Arizonians. In 1876, while the Apaches, who were then the scourge of Arizona, were on the war path, q detachment Of scouts, headed by Ed Peck, had fight with Q prowl- ing band of redskins about ten miles north of Camp Verde. The Indians were put to flight and on the battIe field Peck picked up squaw papcose. The little one was about two years old and the kindly Peck gave one of the scouts s to carry the baby to Camp Verde The scout that took the babe to camp was A. r. Banta, now editor of the Pick and Drill, Prescott. The child was afterwards taken to Prescott, where she was adopted into the family of Wales Arnold, who gave her a good English education.

THE SONORA QUARANTINE.
The Report of Mir Packard Awaited With Much Interest.

Hon. B. A. Packard, who has been in Arizona and Sonora Investigating the Sonora quarantine Of cattle with Dr. R. P. Steddon, has returned to Kansas City with q sealed r5port for Col. Dean of the bureau of animal in- dussry Among cattlemen it is be- lieved that the report is favorable to the raising of the quarantine against Sonora, but it is thought that it will not .be until December 1 that cattle from Sonora are admitted to this country A number of large con tracts which were made before the quarantine went into effect are wait- ing for the decision in the matter, and a general interest is felt by all cattle men in the southwest.
 Inspector Allen Of Wilcox, accom- panied Dr. Steddon to Sonora and says that their Investigations among the herds of cattle did not reveal any ticl,s, and it is his Cpirion that the quarantine will be raised in a short time.

 WOMAN AND WAR.

One cannot but admire the women who have sailed as stowaways on army
 transports for Manila. The govern ment ordered that TO women be al lowed on any ship carrying troops across the Pacific. Several voiunteet
 officers ordered to Manila had wives
 who were determined enough to defy the government in order to accompany their husbands. So they secrcted them selves more or less mysteriously o1 the troopships with their husbands. Since the presence of these fair stow aways was announced in the newspa- pels as soon as the ships sailed, it is fair to suppose that they were not so hidden in the hold that there was any danger Of their perishing from starva- ton before discovery, nor yet 50 dis gUised as to conceal their sex. At the same time, the ladies were technically stowaways, and as such orders have been sent by later ships to land them at Honolulu.
 Of course General Merriam did his plain duty in ordering the separa- ton of these wives from their hus- banda. Army discipline knows no TO . meLce, and is not concerned at all with domestic ties. It is fair fight between the ladies and the war de- partnlent. But prosaic and unsenti- mental bureaucrats have usually little luck in seeking to enforce red tape against woman Years ago, when the navy department first mads the rule ;l&t wives of naval officers should not be permitted to lodge on warships, the wife of the captain of a ship on the south Atlantic station outwitted the de- paTtment in a way that became his tcric. The ship was sent to country in insurrection to protect Americans, and the captains wife was in port. One evening she demanded right of asylum cn the ship as an American citizen who felt her safety imperilled by the revo- lution, and took up her quarters on shipboard in triumph. Woman's wit is often too much fer law and govern n1ents.
 Here and there a heroine occurs in war, and she always becomes famous. But heroines like Joan of Arc and Moll Pitcher won renown by forgetting their sex and doing manly things. These women who adhSre to their husbands through thick and thin, despite thc perils of the miscalled Pacific and the displeasure of ths United States gov elnment, are strictly and charmingly feminine in it. They are doing thing the most womanly, and using no othsr weapols than womanly tact and adroitness to carry out their wifely de- votion. Their husbands have cause to be proud of their wives, and they should prove better soldiers for having such devoted, daring and faithful help mates.

HUMAN NATURE.

Or course the lynching of a negro al Lacon was great disgrace to the state, a defiance of law, violation Of hu- man rights, and all the rest of it. It was unpardonab!e, and we don't SC K to palliate it. But when the eastern press and pulpit fall to and with vir- tuous and self-righteOus zeal lay unc- ticn to their souls by condemning lii noi5 for it's indulgence in the peculiar crime of the south, they will not do full justice unless they recall the fact that the offeuse was preceded by the peculiar crime of the southern negro. It seems beyond human nature to have the one without the other, even in Hi nois.-ChicagO Journal.

THE SILVER FANATIC.


 l The Prescott Courier is noted for taking the coyote site of any argument 1 in which it has an interest.
 The files Of that paper will not
 disclose an instance when it came to the scratch and maintained itself
 squarely against an opponent. Bill 1 lingsgate and an appeal to the passions
 of it's readers form it's stock in trade.
 The latest case in point is that of the JournaI-Miner. That paper said in a recent issue that 'the cry of statehood, silver and Wilson is the rankest piece Of crooked and insincere politics ever jammed down the throats of American ignorance in Arizona Whereupon the Courier, unable to discuss the matter on it's merits, calls upon the people of Arizona ''-strangely enough it does not say ''the common pecple'-'to re- member when the time comes to vote again" the insult delivered by tho Jcurnal-Minec. What the Courier real ly means to say is that the people" of Yavapai county should discipline the Journal-Miner for daring to speak plainly about the late election.
 This is On a par with the utterances Of Phoenix democratic papers in rela- tion to statements by The Republican. The right of free speech is denied by the silver fanatics of this territory just as it was denied two years ago by the free silver fanatics of Colorado. The Colorado fanatics have had some Of their teeth drawn, as witness the dissimilarity between the vote of 1896 with that of Tuesday, Nov. s. It takes tine to kill a fanatic. The English were thirteen years or more in stamp ing out the dervishes. The Arizona silver fanatic is not quite as bad as the deryish, and he will not require kill ing. One of these days you will see him on the street corners inviting peo- pie to kick him for having been such 3 chump as to stand in the way of the development of one of the best regions in Uncle Sam's dominion.
