ROBSON, the great naval hero, ap- pears to be anxious to gain an accession of notoriety in another field, he has spoken in 8 manner detracting from the honor of Admiral Dewey at Manila. It is a pity to see young man, and a gallant sailor, place himself in posi- tion that is provocative of expressions of contempt on the part of the public. The fault of the people seems to be to idolize hero in manner which is calculated to make both the givers and recipients of that idolatry look ex- tremely foolish.

IF the news received that Mrs. Ship ley's relatives are safe in Galveston is correct then our Bisbee people have been fortunate in the preservation of their people in Galveston from the fate that has befallen so many enfortunates in the illfated southern city.

REGISTERING is very slow at Naco, the citizens of that prosperous town, while upholding the necessity of sup porting the schools, consider it dis grace to their citizenship to have their right of voting clogged with a proviso that is illegal and contrary to the right of the people of this country to vote unhampered by payment or condition. However, the hest way is to register and vote after all, for st the polls will be found the penacea for all political evils we have groaned under for 80 long.

THE robbery of the Bisbee drug store last Sunday night proves the fact that there are professional thieves operat. ing in this town, and it behooves the townspeople to secure their houses against the forcible entry of these burglars to the best of their ability It is easy for the robbers to watch their opportunity when the police are out oi the way and force an entrance. It is impossible for the night watchman to be on hand all the time. He has an extent of ground to cover, and must give his attention to other parts of the town that require watching in lhe cause of law and order. If an exam pie could be made of these night birds of prey, it would act as warning to others who are inclined to follow this doubtful profession. But the people find it difficult to pass their time watch ing on their own account and the stores are left unprotected at night by their owners.

A Little Sermon.

What this troubled old world needs
Is less of quibbling over creeds
Fewer words and better deeds.
Less of ''Thus and SO shall you
Think and act, and say and do.''
More of elbow may be true P"
Less of wrangling over text;
Less OF creed and code perplexed;
More Of charity unvexed.
Less of shouting: 81 alone
Have the right to hurl the store"
More of heart that will condone.
Less of ruling: "Hear! You must
Hold this tenent, wrong or just"
More Of patient, helpful trust.
Less of miscropic scan
OF the faults of fellow man;
More of brave, uplifting plan.
Less OF dogma, less pretense,
More belief that Providence
Will sanctify our common sense.
More Of chords of kindness blent
Der the discords OF dissent,
Then will come the great content.
"Just to be good, and to do good"
Simple, plain, for him who would
A creed that may be understood.
Baltimore American.

Rev. Frank D. Talmage recent.
" preached q sermon in Chicago
on lying, from which we take the
following paragraph:
A lie is the quickest creature
to be born, it is the hardest crea-
ture to kill and it is the most hell
ish distortioner of the human race.
It will call black white and white
black and pretend a devil is a
friend and try to swindle us by
calling q fiend anything but a
devil. That is a lie, an accursed
lie. There are certain injustices
you cannot undo by merely maxi
ing an apology. Oh, the cursed

No blessing of life is in any way
comparable to the enjoyment of a
discreet and virtuous friend; it
eases and unloads the mind, clears
and improves the understanding,
engenders thoughts and knowl-

passions, and finds employment
for the most vacant hours of life.

The Faultfnders.

Criticism and fault-finding are
not the same. Criticism means
juding fairly. The original Greek
word to Judge means to 'ssift. -
One, therefore, who is incapable,
from ignorance or prejudice, OF
sitting every matter from every
point of view, cannot be called a
critic. Whenever, from interested
motives or from other causes, he
shows bias, he must not be set
down as q critic.
Fault-hnding can become ac-
tually q disease. The disappoint-
ed, those of a vinegar temper, the
mentally dispeptic, indulge them
selves to such an extent that a
calm, dispassionate, not to say
tender judgment of mon and
things becomes an impossibility.
Those who know such people sus-
pect something wrong whenever
the fault-finder says something
good. It was said of one of old !:
His words were smooth as butter,
but war was in his heart" A
critic is a necessary and useful
factor in all public and private
life. A fault-finder is one who
spoils the sweetness of things
He is an irritant; his influence is
pernicious. He is to be avoided.
