WILLIAMS WISDOM.
[From tho News.l


 A true heart and strength of eharac ter make any girl lovely.
 Some men are eaviaus of other men because they can't understand them.
 A mans life is composed of two things, duty to himself and to his fellowmen.
 Look not upon the wine when it's red, but a milk punch is luxury for a weak stomach.
 Education by no means is the only at- tribute that a girl must have to make first class wife.
 "The way of the transgreSsor is hard,' but it gets pretty rocky in every other fellows life, too.
 Difficulties will always pass into myths if man only has the courage to hold ths battle level for time.
 Many a girl has lost good husband by her attempting to sing ballad in the presence of some man.
 Girls and boys, or men and women, with DO thought but of having good time, seldom amount to much in a worlds makeup.
 Iris claimed that opportunity knocks at every mans door. It may, but it's taps are either light or most people are sound sieepers.
 One often hears the remark: Such and such a girl is nice, but she's com. mon. How many boys and girls ever pause and think what made her com. mon. We'll, let's see: Many girl by her carelessness and inexperienc, becomes common" ere she is aware o- what happened. The greatest foe to girl is having too much the company O different men. When a girl gets t going with Tom, Dick and Harry, sh, soon gets to the end of her social tether The higher class of men notice tha fault readily in young woman. The, see that she uses no judgment and n' discrimination in her choice of younI men, and she soon dies the social death Again, any young woman that associ ates long with common young ma that has no influence among his as sociates, soon loses her influence, he dignity, and she is gradully and un known to herself forced back on tn social shelf. A young man doesn' have to have means, money or positio to keep from being common. It's in th power of every young man to kee himself above that if he hasn't mone sufficient to buy his breakfast. No does young woman have to posses money or education to keep her out C the same rut. But it's easily gotte into by either sex, and it's a fatal fall any and all.

Advertise or Assign.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-Since Christmas there have been ten failures reported of concerns that made speciality of goods intended for holiday presents. Some of these concerns carried large stocks and were entitled to the designation big" In one or two instances the stocks were valued at more than $250, ,000. The noticeable thing about each of the collapsed concerns is that it did not advertise in the newspapers. The stores that did advertise were crowded with customers from the com mencement of the holiday season to the hour of closing the night before Christ mas. They all report the greatest hol- iday business in years.

Important Cases Decided.
IFrom the Tucson Citizen.l

lFrom the Tucson Cttlzen.l
 Judgment was rendered in the dis trict court by Judge Davis Saturday in the cases commonly called county cases instituted by ex-District Attorney Satterwhite to recover monies said to be illegally paid by the board of supervi- sors of Pima county. In the case of Pima county vs. Grant A. Avery, M. G. Samaniego, Jas. Finley, and Jos. B. Scott was involved the right of the sheriff to receive compensation for taking care of U. s. prisoners. The facts in brief in this case were proved to be that the department of justice of the U. s. entered into a contract with the board of super visors of Pima county for the feeding, guarding, caring for, and all other ex- penses were wholly paid by Pima coun- ty. The sheriff had received part of the monies paid by the United States under this contract with the board of super visors and claiming that such amount was due him for caring for such US. prisoners. The court held that it is the duty of the sheriff under the stat utes of Arizona to take charge of and keep the county jail and prisoners therein, and he is not entitled to any extra compensation therefor. The judgment was entered in the case against each defendant for the sum of slO7s.42.

IF one-half of the s2O,OOO, 900 which Uncle Sam proposes to give Spain for the Philippine Islands were spent in storing water running to waste in Ari- zona and New Mexico, in order that their arid lands might be brought under cultivation, the old gentleman would DC snowiug mucn Detter Juug- ment, and he wouldn't be buying 3 fight or lawsuit either. By improv- ling the resources we already possess a country far more valuable than the Philippines can be annexed, and this would be expansion" that really ex- bands, with not 8 tincture of militarism or imperialism in it.

WHEN it comes to question of Boss Croker or Colonel William J. Bryan outlining policy for the Democratic party, the TRIBUNE is of the opinion that there will be very few who will follow the Boss. Every day more conclusively proves that Bryan is the idol of his party. He is not only an orator but statesman, and the only fear is that he is too great man to be- come President. Clay and Webster found their greatness 8 drawback, and succumbed to mediocrity, as did Bryan.
 But it is barely possible that in 1900 the Republican party may not have money enough to buy the Presidency, in which case, Colonel Bryan, the
 greatest living American, will become our President. God speed the day

From the Miner and Electrician.l
 The prospector as a rule takes the
 most rosy-hued view of his prospects and the particular region where he may be operating. He ever has the hope before him that his will be the next in turn to strike it rich. Year after year, many of them plod along with all the enthusiasm of a country editor in a live town, enduring all manner of hardships and toll, looking upon the bright side of life and digging away for the much coveted pay streak. We like the prospector not alone for the good work he is doing, but because of his sanguine temperament. Disap- pointed in one locality, he hastens to another field to take up the search, still buoyant and hopeful. He is the advance guard for the promoter and investor, who in turn bring the ma chinery, the payroll, the tradesman anu tnc conSequeHe UoSsic anu cASA6 6J soon demanding the comforts and con veniences of civilized life. He makes the find" to start the ball rolling, though others may reap the principal benefits from his industry and pa tience. All hail the hardy prospector ! We admire his grit and perseverance, ana his cheerful view of the future. Without him there would be little of the wonderful mining activity we see springing up all ove. thegreat West.

HossoN's KlssER.
He Exercised It In Kansas City Much to
 the Disgust of the Sensible.

tFrom the Phoenix Gazefse.l
 Hobson's kissing proclivities have raised quite a furor in Kansas City, where he "bussed'' AT maidens of both high and low degree. The lead ing pastors have expressed their dis gust at the matter through the news papers, and prominent physician in writing to friend in Phoenix, says "The Hobsou spell of insanity is the most striking incident that has occur red in Kansas City for years. trust that his like will never be born again, aud that if this propensity remains with him that he will receive orders to go to the Philippines and remain until he dies of old age."
 How would it be to put him on some one of the numerous Indian reserva- tions in Arizona? There seems to be more modesty among the squaws than there is among Kansas City girls, and they might teach Hobson his place.

GOOD NEWS.
A Group OF Copper Mines in Santa
Fe District Sold.

George T. Murphy, representing
an English company, last Saturday
purchased a group of copper claims
in Santa Fe district, this county,
from John Pagan and VIM. Callahan
The purchase price is $4,000, of
which 1000 was paid in cash, the
balance to be paid as it comes out of
the mines.
Well known experts have been ex-
aiming the mines during the past
year, and it is on their report that
the sale is made.
1t is the intention of the purchas-
ers to begin work as soon as the snow
leaves the ground, and they are al
ready negotiating for lumber for
boarding houses, etc.
AS yet they are undecided as to
where to place the smelter, but either
Soda Springs or Hawthorne will be
the point selected.
The mines are situated about II
miles northeast of Soda.
The lodges SO far as developed are
large and of bighe grade, but the
amount of work done is not sufficient
to determine their permanency. The
best proof of their probable perma-
nsncy, however, Is the fact that ex-
perienced men are willing to expend
a large amount of money developing
them, and it is sincerely hoped that
they will make big success of their
vent ure.
