Reader, have you ever felt how sad
and lonely 1t is to be alone through the
long and weary hours Of night when
everything is still. with nothing to break
the current of thought that glides inces-
sanity through the mind, bringing back
the memories Of our youth, when first
we pursued the paths of pleasure and
mirth, never needing the trouble and
sorrow that was in store for our future !:
With what force they recur to the
mind In moments of reflection, when
everything is still and Imagination brings
back the scenes of our childhood, the
bright visions of our youth, how memo
~ fingers on each bright spot in our
boyhood history-when each passing
hour was borne down the resistless cur
rent of time freighted with the pure and
guileless emotions of our childhood and
youth. How vividly comes the remem-
brance of the loved and lost one, whose
early death has planted the first thorn
of sorrow in our heart, and made rough
our hitherto smooth and pleasant path
way. How Imagination builds her cas-
ties in the airl How in the long and
weary vigils Of the night we imagine the
angel spirit lowering around our pillow
and whispering cheering words Of CON-
fort to our sorrowing heart. exhorting
US to seek consolation from religion and
promising to intercede with our Almigh-
ty Father to grant peace and conscla-
tion to thy poor stricken heart.

THE PRESIDENTS JOB

"The hardest job on earth is the pI pI,sidency of the United States" So remarked d member of Mr. McKhl- y's cabinet. 'I have seen a good deal of public, professional and industrial life in his and other countries" continued the cabinet member, but I know of nothing that compares WLh the pres- dlGcy in great responsibility, in num- Der and importance of the decisions to be made, in constant pressure of mai tiers great and small, in any one of which a serious or fatal mistake may be made, and in demands upon the time of the incumbent. Admiral Dewey thought it would be easy to be presi- dent, but Dewey had never tried il, and two hours in the White House would be enough to convince him of his mistake I know of no Ctn r man in the world who works as lard as the president of the United States, who gives to his em- ploymvnr so muCl of his vital re- sources, nerN 0us and physical. No rail- way president, no chief of great cor pOratiOn. n5 professional man, and so far as l know no other head of gov crnment, carries half the burden that rests upon the shoulders of our chief magistrate.

 All railroads have been asked to make a reduced rate for this conven- ton and if no such rate is in force when delegates leave for the convention they should take receipts for money paid and the matter can probably be ar ranged at Phoenix for returning free. A full attendance of delegates Is earn estly desired, as well as the presence of representative republicans from every part of the territory.

DINNER.
SUPPER.

There have been many improvemen. s lately in kitchen utensils. and this may be the reason why it is so fashionable at the present time to give novel sets or pieces of kitchen ware for wedding presents. There is certainly no more delightful hobby to the woman who is born hOusekeeper and home maker than that of collecting up-to o-data kitchen utensils and household imple- ments. while even the most listless and indifferent of housewives must feel some inspiration to take more intere s in her housework. The hideous black pots and kettles of our mothers reg lme wee enough to cast a damper on tle :Hri:s of the most enthusiastic nov ice " = house keeping. Not so the shin ing coppeis and artistic kitchen dishes Of today. Black saucepans. with their rough, ugly monotonous outsides are q positive temptation to slovenliness $. while copper saucepan-in which on 3 can see her face-if not exactly d means of grace. leads surely to good works in the culinary line.
 
 Queen Victoria is said to be tremen- dously particular about her kitchen ar engagements, and finding on the occa- sion of her recent visit to Dublin that those at the Viceregal Lodge were quite below the royal standard. there was great hustling until 300 copper frican- deau pans. S4 saucepans, 50 copper stock pots, and many other varieties of up-to-date cooking utensils were ob- tained.
 A pretty story has just come from Berkeley. Cal, of how some of the uni Versity girls stole a march on one of their number who was about to be mar rled. A week before the time set for the wedding, when the bride was up to her eyes in work there came, one day about half hour before luncheon, smart pull at the bell. followed by the entrance of dozen of her classmates who announced that they had come for luncheon. The natural consternation or the hostess at this unexpected addi- tion to her family was assuaged when each girl produced not only the compo- nent part of a most delicious meal, but dainty individual cups and saucers as well. When the merry feast was end ed the dozen cups and saucers were left behind as souvenirs of the ocasion. Nor was this all. Carefully wrapped in tis- sue paper and tied with baby ribbon in the Berkeley colors. blue and gold, were all sorts of small kitchen conveniences egg beaters, potato ricers, larding needles. a set of silver skewers, and the like. These were stealthily tucked in to the interstices of the wedding chest, which was being packed, as other prac-
