AUNT N LETTER.

Before I greet you again Thanks
giving Day will have passed. When
Jesus asked of the leper, "Were
there not ten cleansed? Where are
the nine?" He gave us an insight
into human nature which is applica-
BILE to-day as it was then. Ten
cleansed and only one returned to
give thanks. In our busy wOrkaday
world so many blessings are bestowed
on us that we oftentimes forget
from whence they come. In all
things we should give thanks, but
let US especially observe the twenty
ninth day of November, set apart as
National Thanksgiving Day that all
may acknowledge their Indebtedness
to the Giver of all good. Did you
ever see that old poem called 1.-The
Two Baskets?"
This is the prose of it: St. Peter
one day sat at the gate of heaven
watching two angels starting to see
the world. 1t was May. One carried
a great hamper as large as himself,
for he was to gather praises and
thanks to take back heavenward.
The other angel was to collect the
petitions sent from earth. When they
returned St. Peter. holding his gol-
den keys, still watched the gate.
Both angels seemed in trouble. The
one who gathered prayers and wants
was burdened his back was bent
with bundles his basket could not
hold. The other angel who was to
bring back thanks had his basket so
nearly empty that he tried to hide
it with his wing, as he murmured,
"Only three"
Then spoke st. Peter:
when again you go
On prayer gathering you will better
know
That mems petitions in the world
below
Fill u big basket.
But when you go to gather up
their thanks
For prays we'll answered and forgiven
pranks,
For health restored and disentangled
hands
Your smallest basket"
There is no better time for family
re unions than Thanksgiving Day.
Let the members of each family
meet, talk with each other, and to-
gether acknowledge their gratitude
to Giver of every good and perfect
gift. And when rendering thanks
for our own blessings, let US not for
get to share with those not so for
tunate as ourselves, but perhaps as
deserving. H. J. VS. suggestion is
a good one.
We have several excellent letters
this week. Mrs. A. G. WIS sugges-
tions to poultry raising are very
good. The same is true of Mrs, J.
L. DIS recipe for chow chow. We
are glad to have our new Raleigh
friend join the Circle with a bright
letter. AUNT JENNIE.

CARNEGIE's ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

1. Never enter a barroom, nor let
the contents of a barroom enter
you.
2. Do not use tobacco.
3. Concentrate. Having entered
upon a certain line of work, continue
and combine upon that line.
4. Do not shirk rather go beyond
your task. Do not let any young
man think he has performed his
duty when he has performed the
work assigned him. A man will
never rise if he acts thus. Promo
tione comes from exceptional work.
A man must discover where his en-
plOyer's interests lie and push for
these. The young man who does
this is the young man whom capital
wants for a partner and son-in-law.
He is the young man who by and by
reaches the head of the firm.
5. Save a little always. Whatever
your wages, lay by something from
them.
6. Never speculate. Never buy
stocks or grain on margin.
z. Never indorse. When you en-
ter on business for yourself never
indorse for others. 1t is dishonest.
All your resources and all your
credit + the sacred property of the
men who have trusted you. If you
wish to help another give him all the
cash you can spare never indorse.
1t is dishonest.

SUCCESS WITH POULTRY.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE AS a large
number of the lady readers of the
Social Chat raise poultry, a letter
giving some facts that years of ex-
experience have taught me may not
be out of place.
The most natural thing in the
world is to clean house in the fall,
and it is probably because of this in
herited instinct that often makes a
woman lose fewer chickens in win
ter than a man. She feels called
upon to clean the poultry yard and
hen house before the severe cold
weather just as naturally as she
gives thorough hOuse-cleaning to her
own quarters. One of the greatest
enemies we have in the world is dirt.
If we do not constantly fight it we
are sure to suffer from our negli-
gence. The animals around US placed
in our keeping likewise suffer from
dirt. Turn them out into the fields,
and they will clean themselves but
when you shut them up in close win
ter quarters they will inevitably
breed disease drought the dirt and
filth that accumulates.
A good way to prevent this is to
make a thorough housekeeping in
the poultry yard before the bad
weather of winter is upon US. Then
with the chickens housed warmly
in clean sanitary buildings there will
be less disease than usual. The
cleaning must be extensive and thor
ough. It must begin in the yard,
and all sorts of old rotten rubbish
that the chichens refuse to eat should
be raked up and burned. Fire is the
great purifier, and every old board
and coop that is so dirty that water
cannot cleanse it should be thrown
on the fire. Burn thoroughly the
rubbish and scatter the ashes around
the yard. They will help to sweeten
the soil. A little charcoal mixed
with the soil at any time of the year
is always beneficial, but if we mix
wood ashes with it the same results
will be obtained.
The next cleanser is water, fos-
lowed by whitewash and a little car
bolic acid. Turn the hose on the
poulty yard until the boards are
bleached white and every particleio IF
dirt has been washed away. 1t may
be necessary to get down on the
knees at times and scrape away
with a knife or hoe. Everything
mnst be cleaned no matter what hap
pens. Then you have a good f8un-
dation for whitewashing. Mix the
whitewash strong enough to do some
good, Weak water with a little col
oring of lime will do nc good. It
should be strong enough to purify
and cleanse and disinfect the whole
Mace. Add to the whitewash some
carbolic acid. That will kil4 all
lice and vermin in the place and keep
others from coming there for weeks
and months. When the house is

THANKSGIVING.

For all true words that have been spoken,
For all brave deeds that have been DONE,
For every loaf in kindness broken,
For every race in valOr run,
For martyr lips which have not failed
To give God praise and smile to rest,
For knightly souls which have not quailed
At stubborn strife or lonesome quest;
Lord unto Whom we stand in thrall
We give Thee thanks for all, for all.
For each fair field where golden stubble
Hath followed wealth of waving grain;
For every passing wind of trouble
Which bends Thy grass that lifts again;
For gold in store that men must seek,
For work which bows the sullen knee;
For strength swift sent to aid the weak,
For love by which we climb to Thee
Thy freemen, Lord, yet each Thy thrall,
We give Thee praise for all, for all.

love bestows upon her. Our Lady of
pity, of mercy, of compassion, they
call her in their prayers, and always
the old sweet title of her highest
,Eomanhood means IL these express
sions some one who is tender and
ritiful and anxious to help. Tt has
often struck me as an unconscious
Indication that in the original use
of the word, even when it meant only
the wife of the lord of the castle, or
domain, it included an idea of doing
good, of feeding the hungry and ar
ing for the sick and wretched. 1t
would be a lovely thing for us to do,
in u small way, even with the
scanty means we sometimes have of
giving relief, to make it n of our
claims to be known as true ladies,
that some poor sufferer could think
of us as merciful and pitiful and
kind.
II lust ISLANDER NO ONE.
Hard words, ce~nsorious gossip, the
repetition of evil reports, making N
kind feeling by i~nsinuation, these
are all essentially unladylike. An
ungoverned, cruel or even careless
tongue, deprives any young girl of
a right to think she is worthy of the
coveted distinction. If doing to
others as we would be done by, is a
mark of real genuine good breeding
good breeding is essential to being
a lady-then the sins of the tongue
weigh heavily against her. Sweet
ness and light" are what we look for
in this our American aristOcracy,
and they can only be found where
kind words make apology for our
neighbor's shortcomings, and where
a Christian silence bushes scandal.
IN SOCIAL INTERCOURSE.
A true lady must be conspicuous
for her modesty and her gentle and
courteous reserve toward men. An
effort to excite admiration or to call
attention to either beauty or accom-
plishments, at once marks a lack of
both good taste and good breeding.
Her favors to her young men friends
must be within a very careful limit,
and to place herself under any obi
cation by the acceptance of gifts of
value or of marked attention, is
truly unladylike. The less a young
girl gives to her general admirers
the greater the treasure she has in
store for the man she shall truly
love. A CHEEKY, jolly, animated
manner in social life gives ample
room for pleasant acquaintance to
be ~agreeably entertained, but special
favors should be jealousy kept for
the very few who come nearest to
a girls IDEAL among her friends.
You see, my dear girls, it is not an
everyday thing to e q lady of fault
less bearing in any station of life,
and | hope you see also that it is pos
sible to meet the most e~xactlng re-
quirements of this sweet title
whether your home is in a cottage
or a palace. And l trust you see
also that the nearer you approach
the model of a true Christian the
ear you come to being a true gen
tlewoman.-Mrs. Clement Farley, in
the Ledger Monthly.

Mr.. Murphy, in his address on
Saturday evening, said that his
mining proclamation blacklisting
the Spenaxuma, Val Verde, United
Verde, Jr., and United Verde Ex-
tension, together with other prop
critics, had been of benefit to Ari-
zona. He did not tell his audience
that two weeks later he had en-
dorsed the United Verde Exten-
sion by telegram to the Mining
and Engineering Journal; also,
that the Val Verde people had
made compromise whereby they
built a smelter on the branch line
in Yavapai county, the Val Verde
people paying for the branch run
ming out to the smelter; further,
that his friends and himself hob
nobbed with Attorney Chase OF
the Spenazuma and incidentally
squared that proposition. Hav-
ing made concessions to three OF
the four outfits specifically men
toned, the cloud was left over all
other mining property in AriNons,
aside from producing mines.-Ari-

ANOTHER LIE MAILED.

"The managers of the Graham
County fair awarded to the Bull
letin the first prize as testimony
that it was the best newspaper
published in Graham County.
This was very pleasing to the
owners of this paper at it is a judg-
ment coming from men who could
not be suspected of unfairness or
prejudice in our favor. The pres
ent owners of the Bulletin have
ever had for their chief and para
mount motive the upbuilding of
Graham county and every indus
trial interest in it. The mining
industry, tho cattle industry and
the agricultural industry have all
stood in equal favor with this
paper. We have never put a dol
lar in our till for the exploitation
of bogus enterprises or for the
boosting of any unworthy cause"
The above is an editorial pub
lished in the Bulletin Of October
18th.
The whole article is pure fabrica-
ton of the most rank and dishonest
kind. There is not shadow of
truth in the statement. Not one
of the managers of the fair ever
thought of awarding a prize ofany
kind to the Bulletin or any other
business house. The editor of the
Bulletin was well aware that he
was publishing an unfair and un-
true statement for on the second
page of the same issue he publishes
full list ofall prizes given and
the GUARDIAN published the same
list the week previous and the
Bulletin was not mentioned in
either list. But we do not call
Mr.. Kelly down alone OH these
published lists but on the word of
the managers of the fair. What is
the reason that paper would de-
liberately make such false state
ment, knowing it would be de-
tected? 1t must be that Kelly
has become so accustomed to lying
about Wiley Jones that he cannot
tell the truth on any subject.
Graham guardian., 1900-11-02

THE wall and whine sent up by
the Bulletin last week, because it
says the GUARDIAN is abusing il
in telling the people what its
editors rotten career was in Mis-
souri,, is truly heartrending. We
did not mean to abuse the poor
little Bulletin and were not aware
we had. We did not know before
that telling the truth was abuse.
We supposed abuse was to persist
entity and continually lie about
people like the Bulletin does,

DESERVED COMPLIMENTS

Word comes from the valley that
that stalwart Of stalwarts, Geo. A.
Olncy, is working might and main
for the success of the democratic
ticket. Mr.. Olney sensibly re-
marks that he is not a bigger man
than his party, and that while he
was not in accord with all the acts
Of the convention which named the
county ticket, yet he is in favor of
the election of every man on il.
By such adherence and devotion
to principles and party Mr.. Olney
will make many friends and will
place himself in a position to COM
mand anything within the party's
gift that he may desire in the
future. The democrats of Graham
may well congratulate themselves
that they can number Mr.. Olney as
one of them. The Era says, all
hall to Mr.. Omey, who never bolts
or gets sore headed.
Ben r. Clark, defeated candi-
date for nomination for sheriff is a
democrat of the old style, as is
evidenced by his loyal support of
the territorial and county demo-
cratic ticket from top to bottom.
True to his friends no man in the
territory would moro worthily fill
the position of U. S. marshal for
the territory of Arizona under the
democratic administration than
our present sheriff, Ben r. Clark,
and the Era heartily endorses him
and sincerely hopes he will get the
unanimous support of every demo-
crat in Graham county.-Copper
Era.
EVERY man who has been honor
cd by his party or who was before
or in the convention in any shape,
who is democrat, will do the same
as these gentlemen are dong.
WHEN man like Wally Scott
bawls about economy and charges
everyone excepting himself with
dishonesty people naturally look
for motive. He has looked the
records through on that salary he
says Mr.. Jones drew while in the
army and before he resigned as
district attorney and found that
the records show that Mr.. Jones
did not draw the salary but that
it was paid to Mr.. Rawlins and so
entered on the records, with the
consent Of all the members of the
Board of Supervisors. Yet Mr.
Scott is so desirous of being elect
ed to some Office (for the only of.
flee we can find that he ever held
was when District Attorney Ber-
hedge, of Apache county resigned
in SCOTS favor to give Scott a
chance to pay Berbecge for u
house no had bought of him, and
Scott filled the unexpired term)
that he deliberately, with the facts
staring him in the face, publishes
that Mr.. Jones drew that salary,
when every school boy in the
county is asking; "Why does
Scott lie soy" Scott don't pay u
dollar Of taxes on real estate in
