THE MAN WITHOUT THE HOE.

The weight of centuries he does not
seem
To feel. He lies upon his back and
yawns.
He bears the dust of ages on his face.
Without murmur. But he feels a
thirst,
A thirs. that will impel him presently
With great reluctance, to up-end him
self
And work the town to quench it. Look
at him!
Who gave him that consuming thirst?
Whose hand
Incarnidined that nose? Who put that
look
Of EMU in his dead, lack-luster eyes?
Who wore the clothes originally which
Hang in festoons about him now? And
who
Turned him out to grass? Approach
and ask him:
"My rusty friend, my poor, world
weary friend,
Der whom the modern car of Jugger-
naut
So ruthlessly doth seem to have been
driven,
The manliness within thee crushing
out,
And making thee flattered imitation
Of a human being, wilt thou tell me
Who is the author of thy miseries?"
"B'gosh, I dunno who!" he makes re-
ply.
'All I can rickollect is that one day,
When I was hoein' in the field,
seemed
To hear a voice that said: Throw
down that hoei'
dunno what it was-I never knowed-
But, boss, I drapped that hoe, and
hain't never
Felt like workin' since, and neve
'spect to-"

long-felt want, and be useful for those
who live in small houses or flats. Not
only is the cupboard capable of hold
ing gowns and hats, but the lower part
can be used for boots and shoes. The
dimensions that are given need not
necessarily be followed, but they will
serve as a guide. Let us say, then, that
the wardrobe stands some eleven feet
in heigth, three feet eighteen inches in
breadth, and is eighteen inches deep.
Two shelves are added-one at dis
lance of twelve inches from the top
the other ten inches from the bottom,
the latter being supported by two or
three blocks Of wood, which separate
the pigeon-holes holding day and even
ing shoes. The top of the wardrobe is
finished with a five-inch moulding, and
close beneath this is thin rod, upon
which a curtain is suspended, the ma
terial and color depending upon the
decorations of the room.

JOWETT'S EXTINGUISHER.

The late master Of Ba1liol was so
we'll known as a resourceful antagonist
that it is a matter for wonder that any
woman, however youthful and sure Of
herself, should have had the temerity
to take liberties with him
The Hon. Lionel Tullemache tells in
the Spectator of young woman who
had the effrontery to say to him:
''I want to know, master, what you
think of God"
ST am more concerned to know what
God thinks of me-" was Jowett's felicit-
Gus reply.

A BEDROOM CUPBOARD.


A question which disturbs the minds
of many women is, where to put their
hats. Broad brims and high feathers
demand adequate space, and it is a
matter of very serious consideration
for those whose rooms are Of meager
dimension. There has, however, been a
wardrobe designed that will meet a

THE CITY PARK.

The city owns Q park of several acres on Washington street near Thir- teenth avenue. The title to the prop erty was secured some time ago. A great many trees have been set cut in this park and some Of them have reached mature proportions. There is no sod in the park. and aside from the planting of the trees no effort has been made t0 improve t. It would no. require much money to transform this park into q beautiful resort Lawns and flowers and shrubbery would make it equal to many small parks in the larger cities. IL would be a good thing fir the city council to make the park attractive. A band stand shCaId be erected in the center, to the end that the Sunday concerts, which are so pop ular, might be held there The i'm proYement of Ilis park, and the hold ing of concerts there would be a good thing fer the street railway company, which deserves the good will of the people of this town. There is not a town Of the size of Phoenix in the United States that has a better car line. The main idea in connection with this plan, however, is that the people would be given a beautiful place Of resort, something that P1oe- nix does not now possess. With the building of the capitol travel will nat urally be directed toward the west end, and we'll ordered park easily acces- eible by stre2t ears would prove a first class advertisement for the city. It is to be hoped that the city council will plan for the improvement of this val uable property SC that by next winter at the latest the work of transforma- ton may be completed. The new city council has indicated a desire to work for the best interests of the city. Im- prove tho city park, gentlemen, and you will earn the gratitude of a great many people.

The peonle off Prescott are to be con

The people of Prescott are to be con- graduated on their efforts to provide good water and sewer sys- tems fer their city. Prescott has many natural advantages in her favor and with these modern improvements she will be able to offer the stronges. Inducements to home seekers. People who come to Arizona from the east are as 9 rule used tCl modern sanitary ap- pliances, and the prospect of living i'll towns where the question of sanita ton is not considered is very distaste- full to them. The building of the water works and sewer system in Prescott will mean the rebuilding Of Whipple barracks on large scale and the establishing on the military reso-- Vation or adjacent to it Of a large sani- tarium under the control Of the Ma tional Soldiers home. Prescott is to be congratulated.

Third avenue Washington street is in very bad condition. If there should be a rain siecrm this week the street would be full of mud for ten days at least. The Republican has repeatedly spoken Of the bad impression created in the minds of strangers who walk along Washington street in wet weather 4 well graded and graveled roadway there would be Of great advantage to the town. The expense Of improving the block between First and Second streets was net heavy and if the coun- cil would take hold of this matter rcw, when material and labor are most available. the improvement could be made at slight expense. The con sent Of many property holders has been secured. All that is needed is q concentrated eHcrt. It is to he hoped that Mayor Gang and his associates will address themselves to this matter and carry it to success

With wagon road to Glcbc Phoe nix would be placed in direct cCmmu- nication with the rich Globe district. its big monthly pay roll and the mines in the Pinto creek region. The people of Mesa have contributed liberally u the building of this read. If the prop erty owners of Phoenix would give, say $2,000, the road could be com pleted inside of sixty days and stages could then make daily trips. It is strange that the people Of this town are. so lukexarm toward this propo- sition. Any business man will tell you that with means of rapid com munication Phoenix would be able tn handle plenty of Globe money. It is to be hoped that the proposition will not languish any longer even if the people on whose shoulders burdens like the building of this road usually fall have to take hold of the maiter and push it to success.

Work on the new capitol building is proceeding in very satisfactory way The brick work cf tho basement has been completed ana the granite is be- ing placed in position. People who imagined that the building would be of an inferior grade would do well to visit the capitol grounds and see what a really commCdious structure is being erected. The granite comes from the hills south of the river and is of eX- ceptionally fine quality. It looks for all the world like New Hampshire granite and experts say that it is equally as good. The granite work will not be finished fer several weeks. Then the .aying of the tufa, of which the remaining stories are to be built, will begin. By next fall the building will be well along toward completion. It vii. be q handsome building ana will reflect most cre-ita5ly upon the capitol site commission. It is being constructed on honor" and there is ID doubt that it will challenge the ad- miration of every friend of the terri tory

SOMETHING TO WORK FOR.

The Republican was the fist paper in Arizona to criticize the movement to send six hundred Indians and speci
 mens of the cacti grown in Arizona to the Omaha exposition. It pointed cut 1 the injury that would be done the terri tory through such a display if it were net offset by exhibits of the material resources of Arizona. It was not ac- tuated by any desire tcr beli5tle the achievements Of Superintendent Me Cowan of the Indian schoolin develop ing the Irtfan character. or to question the motives of the In dian commission It desired sim ply to emphasize the fact that an exhibition of the kind in d;cated would tend to intereify the feeling in the east that Arizona is given over largely to Indians and cacti. The Republican does not know whether the Indian bureau Hill carry cut the plan suggested, but if it should do So the necessity of suppIementing tEis display Of red men and prickly pears and s2huaras with ccmprehen- sive line of Arizona's products becomes all the more apparent. Wa ought tc have a fine display of min erals and agricultural products at Omaha and such a display could be provided if the people Of Arizona would loosen their purse strings and get iii line with tte rrogres- sive people of other states and territories. There is no part of the continent that needs advertising Ii, ere than Arizona Our natural re- sources are magnificent in their extent and variety Cur mines are beginning tc attract the attention Of eastern in vestors. Probably not cne eastern per sen in a thousand knows that there are several valleys in Arizona whose agricultural products will equal in ex- tent ard richness thc1a of many other ard better knc3n regions Our climate cannot be surpassed. Not only should cur products be placed on exhibiticn at Omaha, but there should be a com p.ete line Of advertising matter cover ing the different sections of the terri tory. With such a display in connec- tian with the enc proposed by the IT, dian bureau we would be thoroughly 1 in line wish thc western states that l will bid for immigration and capital at | Omaha. Given such comprehensive exhibition as we have indicated, the ! Indian S:lioshcw would be 2 good sd- VeTtisement in that it would illustrate | the thoroughness that has marked the | work Of the Iccal Indian school in up- lifting the Indian. While this ad- ! no doubt would appeal to | the average spectator at Omaha it | would lose much of it's significance if | by a thorough demon straticn of Arizona's general develop nent. We leg of inc people of this territory to arouse themselves and give Arizona a fine adver rsisement ar the exposition. If the leading men of lbe different cities and mining camps Y 3u-j organize with the idea of mak- ing q good exhibit of Arizona's re- sources we have no doubt that the re- sult would be thoroughly commend able. Let us get to work As soon as possible The ReDubIcan will present he facts bearing on the coming exhi- Dition and take steps to facilitate the getting together of a complete exhibit.
