A Wartime niains Place.

J. H. Gore writes an article for St HieboIas describing some peculiar Hid ing Places In Wartimes. Those he tells about w@-. all in one bonse in Vir- ginia near . town which changed hAnds. under fire, s2 times during the war. Mir. Gore says:
 With fall came the "fattening time for tue hogs. They were then brought in from the distant fields, where they had passed Che summer. and put in a pen by the side Of the road. And. al- though within ten feet of the soldiers as they marched by, they were never seen. for tue pen was completely cover cd by the winters wood pile. except at the back. where there was Q board fence through whose cracks the corn was thrown in. WhenevsT the passing advance guard told us that an army was approaching the hogs were hur- riedly fed, 90 that the army might go by while they were taking their after dinner nap and thus not reveal their presence by an escaped grunt or squeal. Fortunately the house was situated in narrow valley, where the opportuni- ties for bushwhaeking were 60 great that the soldiers did not tsrry long enough to search suspected wood piles
 On one occasion We thought the hogs doomed A wagon broke down near the house. and the soldier went to the wood pile for pole 10 be used in mend ing the break. Luckily he found a stick Co bis liking without tearing the pile Co pieces. This suggested that some nice. straight pieces be always left conven- iently near for such an emergency, in case IL should occur again.

Faith is. after all, the basis of bank, ing, and if there be DO faith there can be no banking. For that reason it is possible for those who are skilled in bookkeeping. but who are dishonest, to carry on. sometimes for a series of months or even years, dishonest methods by which even the most expert account ants gre deceived and can be deceived as long as this dishonest man can have access to the books.
 Tho record of embarrassments or fail ures has, in almost every instance, made clear, upon examination. that dishon- est methods of this kind were carried on by those who had daily access to the books, in one case for a period covering st least i5 years In that case the dis honest employees, knowing that his safe ty depended upon his ability to reach the books. refused to take a vacation. If the officers of the bank are unable to detect dishonesty of this kind-even if they adopted the most approved and scientific method of bookkeeping-it is beyond reason to expect that a national bank examiner can do it.-Hon.

 "You don't do much but sit around, do your"
 Well, help my father
 But you're worthless, aren't youy' was the attorneys decisive question.
 ''I don't know whether l am or not, 9 retorted the witness warmly.
 Then the attorney took another tack. Your fathers q worthless man, ism heg''
 Well, he works about the farm.
 The attorney here fastened an eye which gleamed with triumph on the jury snd nailed the boy with a glance from the other and said. Isn't it true that your father doesn't do enough work to prevent his being called worthless;'
 The boy had chafed under these un- pleasant questions. and. summoning his courage, he said loudly: If you want to know so bad whether my father worthless, ask him. There be is on the jury "-Indianapolis Journal

Ae "Smashedr Chinam.n

A young man saturated with a large package of elixir of life. last evening while down near Granite street, chastised three slapt-eved ochre-eolored worshippers of Nam mon because of theIr oriental ma tivlty. A little later, while gather ing more hilaTity and concentrated essence Of liquid frolicsomeness. on Montezuma street, he met another Chinaman who had the audacity to still live. He promptly upper.cDt him on the atmosphere receiver. ths starch manipulator resented if bv trying to get away; this provoked the mirth seeker who reached for him with his left, but fell short. The Chinaman took bis cue and en- deavored to shift to the next block which brought him directly in front of Clothier Blocks large plate glass windows, just as his assailant swung into him on his rice-trap with his right bunch of bolts. At this the rice-absorber seemed to have dropped his equilibrium and made backward plunge through the plate glass front as if endeavoriug to get behind a collar box. This feat brought down the house-or at least that part of it that one could see through. The slugger imme- diatelv evaporated, knowing he had properly framed his saffron colored enemy.
 The vanquished gathered himself up from the debris and proceeded to have his punctures repaired; he was cut up considerable, but not seriously injured,

The Marrying Age.

At what age do people marry? The most popular time for a woman to get married is from her twenty first to her twenty fifth year inclusive. More than one-haf of the women who marry at all marry in these five years of their life, and another quarter marry between the ages of 20 and 25, and not more than a third between the ages ot % and 30. The average age of marrying is just over 26 for women and just under 2S for mon. These figures include remar- riages. For spinsters only the average age is 25, and for bachelors 26R
 It is a noticeable fact that in the last ten years the average age of marrying has, for men and women alike, gone up hall a year. Taking the complete quar- ters ending on the last days of March. June, September and December respec- lively. the December quarter is most prolific in marriages and the spring and summer quarters come next, about equal, with the March quarter a long way behind.

HOW TO PREVENT REPEATING

Some of our legislators seem to be desirous of enacting law to prevent repeating at elections. A bill in the council providing for voters voting only in the precincts in which they reside. has just been defeated, while a similar bill has been introduced ID the house. Such bill as this would be impracticsble, on account of the difficulty of establishing precinct boundaries A very simple method of accomplishing the same result, and one which, at the same time, would add very materially to the revenues of the various counties, would be to enact law wtich IS al- ready in force in very many of the states, which requires a voter to pre-
 sent poll tax receipt on applying 10 vote. When he had cast his bal lot, the word voted" with the date and place of voting could then be stamped or written on the receipt and returned to him, and should there be any special elections held, the receipt could be retained for use at such time. With this record on his receipt, should a man attempt to vote in some other precinct, on the same day, the record on the receipt would show that he was not entitled to dO so. This, in connection with the usual registration, would furnish about as complete safe guard against repeating at elections as can be devised, while at the same time, as previously stated, it would tend to sdd materially, to the revenues of the county, by swelling lhe receipts from poll taxes, on election years at least. This suggestion IS given grat- uitously to members of the legisia- ture, to be embodied in a bill as out | lined.

vaIuabIs AdvertisIng Medium

! Late last Saturday night a tele
 phone message was received at this
 otice from the Arizona Bakery.
 ordering a want lad" for sales
 woman. Early yesterday morning
 there was another telephone mes
 sage from the same institution or dering the advertisement out, for heavens sake. The message was re- | pested several times during the day, as precaution against forget inlness on the part Of the foreman. The applicants were about to take the bakery. The Arizona Bake-v people now see how they made a mistake. Before inserting such an lad" as that in The Republican. they should have appointed a good sized reception committee. The moral of this story Is, that there is no nook or corner of The Republi- can so obscure that 1t IS not read every day by hundreds.-Pheni1 Re publican.
 The JOURSAL-MINER can discount the above story. One day last week laIy called at this office and an- nounced that she had lost a new, red kid glove, and wanted her loss ad- vertIsed. 4 notice was written out and put in type. but before the pa- per went to press the lost glove was brongbt into the office, and during the afternoon an extra pair of gloves. a bunch of keys. a gold locket and a purse containing money, none of which had been mentioned in the advertisement were brought into the office. IL is needless to say that the lost glove was restored to it's owner, and equally needless to add that as an advertising medium tbe JouRNAL-MISER has no equal in Arizona The man who fails to realize this iS simply wasting his energies in trying to do business.

ABOUT TAX EXEMPTION.

While being opposed to tax ey- emption the JOUKSAL-MINER is net in
 favor of repudiAting contracts under it, whether a consideration exists CT not. The territory cannot afford to sneak out of any obligation through 6 loop hole of technicality. To Sd- vocats such a measure smScks very strongly of dishonesty. Arizona has said through her law making
 powers, 10 capitalists: "Gentlemen, come to Arizona and help us develop our resources, by building railroads,
 without which our progress must be slow and tedious, As a consideTa- ton on our part, and 10 aid you in getting returns on your investment, we will allow exemption of your property from taxation for period of twenty years"
 In conformity with this invitation a number of railroads have been built. Progress and prosperity have followed in their wake. New towns have sprung up, new life has been infused into old ones, and the de- velopment of the mining and agr.- cultural resources of the territory have been unparalleled in the history of the territory. The taxable property of the terri tory has been largely increased and the results have been marvellous. Aside from the principle itself, which is not just, the results obtained from it have made the territory the gamer. Now that the territory has gained these beneficial results, through the operation of the law, there are re pudiatiOnists Of contracts and other obligations who would say: Gentlemen, you have taken sd- vantage Of the offer We have made to you to belp us develop our re- sources. You have built railroads for us and tho effect has been magical. We never even dreamed that the results would be so over whelmingly in favor of the territory and that such a vast amount of bus mess could have been developed for your enterprise and for the benefit of the entire territory. We have your railroads aud yon cannot well 1 take them away from us now. In ' the contract made between us and you there was DO consideration !. named, henee iu law it is not valid . and legal. We care nothing for the moral obligations of any contract, so we will just cancel our obligation . to you"
 This is the situation in brief and . the position fairly stated of the ad- vocates of repudiating the contract ! in regard to tax exemption.
 or course with large percentage of the members of the legislature in favor of still further extending tax exemption to railroads there is DO probability of the repeal of the tax exemption laws under which rail rolds have been built in the past.
