 MARRIAGE IN STRANGE LANDS. -CThis subject was given after a read inS lesson on the same.)-Marriage is a lottery my mother says so and l shall never get married. Fathers been mar ried to my mother twenty-six years ana last year they had a silver wedding this means they get married again to make sure. If they live long enough he's going to have a gold one. My fathers only got one wife, but the Nor gans have hundreds. l don't want such q lot of mothers because you eaten plenty of whackings nd our teacher told us that MT. Bocken (Bacon) said those who have lots of wives and little boys give hosts to fortune but I don't know what this means.
 WATER.-It is a liquid so is beer and milk but the first is called a Ticker be cause it's adultrated that is sugar and hops are added. Water is very useful, ships feat on it and men and boys swim in it, we also drink it and in the
  Sea water is salt and is useful for all kinds of fish such as cod and wales and breem and trout. Rain is water and is kept in old tubs and barrels to wash dirty cloths.
 PLEASURE--Plasur is doing what you like but we don't get much pleasure. except in drawing lesson and when teacher has the face ake then we can do what we like. Last week I went to the Iair. This was pleasure and I got very wet and dirty and mother called me little pig but I went to bed be- fore father come home. Boys and girls cont get much pleasure till they get men then they smoke and do what they like. My father goes were he likes ! unless mothers angry then he stays ! at home.

A SUGAR STORY
And Like Many Others There is a
 Moral In IL.

It is a failacious idea held by great many that beet sugar is not as good as cane sugar. How the idea became prevalent it is hard to understand. ex- cept possibly through retail merchants here and elsewhere, who, when under sold by some competitor. started it for the purpose of making their customers believe that their competitors were selling an inferior grace of goods. It is a fact that there have been times when the prices of the two kinds Of sugar have varied, and the grocery men may have truthfully said so, but as shown by pr. Ford at last Satur- days msaJing, sugar is sugar, if it is granuI363f. and it maxes no difference whether it comes out of cane, beets or rubrer boots. This erroneous belief in the inferiority of beet sugar is par ticularly unfortunate in Phoenix just at this time when an effort is being made to locate a factory here. and no groundless prejudice should be aI- lowed to exist.
 But an interesting little circumstance happened not long ago that illustrates the two points very nicely. One is that this prejudice is purely sentimental and not founded in fact. and the other is that the local merchants, like every body else are sometimes forced to be deceptive in order to do business sue cessfully and retain the good will and respect of their patrons. It is alto gether likely that the same thing has occurred in every grocery store in the town, if the truth were known
 4 certain lady ordered a dollars worth of sugar from her grocer. When it was delivered she asked the boy if 1t was beet or cane sugar. When told that 1t was beet sugar she sent it back, saying that she wanted only the best cane sugar, as beet sugar was a very poor article in comparison. The grocerynlan sent the boy back with it, telling her there was no difference but she insisted that she knew what she wanted, and if she could not get

 back into the bin and taking another sack, that would not be recognized filled it with the same sugar, and for the third time sent it to the house, saying that he always did his best to please his customers and had gone to another store and purclased the cane sugar to accommodate the patron. She was profuse in her thanks and later reported to the merchant that the cane sugar he sent was 1ne and she advised him to handle it exclusively. She is still buying cane sugar out of the same box that holds the beet sugar consumed by common people. And this is not q reporters dream, but a circumstance that actually occurred.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

A young man named Charley Keller made an attempt at suicide Monday night about one o'clock. He had been drinking considerable during the past few days and was under the influence of liquor when he attempted the rash act. He had just returned to his room from down town and when in the yard took a gun from his pocket and placed 1t against the side of his head. intenI- ing to blow his brains out. but his aim was not true and the bullet went up through the rim of his hat, the powder burning him slightly over the right eye while the recoil of the gun struck his cheek bone. causing the blood to flow slightly.-Review

ARIZONA OLIVE GROVES
An Industry That Promises Much in
 This Valley.

There is an Italian proverb to the effect that an "an olive grove is q gold mine on the face of the earthi'- LeaN- 'ina- the question of profits to be fuf- ther determined, one can not but De impressed with the profusion or rlpeh- ing fruit in the olive groves or the valley Notable among these groves are the properties of MT. C. w. PerklnS and pr. D. l.. Livermore, whose hold ings are six miles northeast of Phoe- nix. Dr. Livermore has grove or twenty acres that is now nine years old: when this grove was six years of age he harvested crop or thlrtS tons from these trees
 Last season the crop was poor one because of the unprecedented drouth' but now the trees are loaded with per feet fruit pr. Livermores trees are of different varieties adapted for pick 1ino and the cups are used for this purpose. The quality of these plckles is surely unsurpassed-being of an exceedingIy rich and delicate flavor. If is il common impression that the olive requires but little water Tor 1,roDer development; this is a mistake, since the product is of inferior size II stinted for moisture at the roots- The prepared pickles find a. sale in our local market at $1 per gallon
 Nr. Perkins has a grove of five acres of varieties best adapted for oil. His trees are now five years of age and are loaded down with fine fruit IL is understood that man who plants an olive grove makes venture that only future generations can enjoy. be- cause of the extreme age the tree at tains before bearing This impression is entirely dispelled here, since the tree commences to bear a good crop at three years from planting, and future crops seem to be as dependable as those of any other fruit. Mir. Per kirs has erected a mill and has two presses in operation in the extraction of oil. So far as we are able to judge the product is the finest possible; cer- tainIy no foreign oil has such beau tiful appearance. and the delicate flavor is unequalled.
 This season Mir. Perkins has pur- chased all the oil varieties of the val ~'~~< and .has-A--SISr+a l,a-. ''is gallons of oil, which is worth right here s4 per gallon. It takes one hun dred pounds of fruit to make one gal lon of oil. It costs s1O per ton to pick the fruit from the tree, and there is the added cost of production and man. ufacture. Care and cleanliness are essential. to the best results, but the process seems very simple indeed
 The trees are absolutely free from any scab or parasites of any kind, nor do they exhibit any evidence of dis ease; they will grow and thrive on land that is too poor and berren to support any other form of plant life of co1Eiderable value. Of course, they must &have moisture at the roots to rendeEF available their sustenance. All Ifk<2asideFed, this valley presents conditions. which seem unequalled for the isosecution:oft this industry. It is | said there is a company considering ! the advisability of planting 60 acres | the coming season.

WILL ISSUE SUNDAY PAPERS. Baltimore Sun Will Depart from
 Established Custom.

Baltimore, Oct 6-The Sun will hereafter issue Sunday edition, which marks change in It's policy. Tn explaining it's reasons for the departure. The Sun says in it's editorial row. Oct 6. the issue of Sunday edition. In deciding upon a step which involved depar ture from its long established custom 1t has carefully weighed all the considerations bear ing upon the question and has been convinced not only that a Sunday issue is demanded by the great majority of its readers, but that such an issue will enlarge it's field of usefulness While fully honoring the sincerity of those who still oppose the publication of the Sunday newspapers. we believe they are mistaken in the view which holds such publication to be an evil per SC which places in the same con demnaton well conducted and moral journal with those which are wholly frivolous and nal is an evil on any day of the seven, and a newspaper which helps to improve the world is a blessing, whether published on Sunday. Mon day or another other day.
 "As for The Sun, while it hopes never to see Sunday lose its sacred character or it's in accept reasonable or helpful the old puri- tan conception which made it a day of gloom and penance and which hedged it about not with the sunshine of divinity, but with severe restrictions of mans devising. Sunday was made for man. not man for Sunday. The Sun comparatively few persons who will not be glad to cooperate, by their countenance and support, in the effort to make the Sunday news paper an instrumentality for good-"
 The editorial closes with the following promise: ''The Sun will endeavor to keep It's columns on this day on others, free from scandalous and sensational matter and to make them clean, wholesome and help;ul. worthy in every way of the day and of the support of intelligent and respectable people"

REBUKED BY GEN. WOOD GOVERNOR GENERAL REVIEWS
 CoURTMARTIAL CASE. Loys Darrell, an American Soldier, Charged with Murder and De- sertion Dishonorbly Discharg-
 ed from the Service.

Washington, Oct, S.-Copies of general orders from the Department of Cuba just received at the War Department, contain the records of an interesting courtmar- tial trial. Loys Darrell. a private in Troop G, 7th cavalry. was tried on charge of desertion. found guilty and sentenced to be dishonorably discharged from the service.
 The reviewing authority found much fault with the finding of the court. hold ing that the penalty imposed for the of- fense committed was ''scandalously in- adequate" and that all of the testimony presented to the court was that of the accused in his own behalf. Darrell plead ed guilty with extenuating circum- stances to the charge.
 The extenuating circumstances, says General Wood. the reviewing authority, were that Darrell was suspected of mur- der by the majority of his troop. On the morning of April 16 1900, Henry l.. Couch. a private in Troop c. Eth cavalry, was found murdered in an ordnance store house tent adjoining the barracks of his troop at Pinar del Rio. Cuba. Two coat straps were around his neck plainly his skull was crushed, evidently by . hatchet or other blunt instrument He was known to have had money on his person. Ills pockets were turned inside out, indicating the object of the crime. Circumstances pointed to Darrell. 1t is stated, as one of the perpetrators of the deed, and while an investigation was being made, Darrell deserted his post, went to Havana, then to New Orleans. and there took passage for South Africa. On the 18th of the following July he was apprehended at Beira, South Africa, and to Cuba for trial He was tried before the Audiencia of Pinar del Rio, on 8 charge of murder and acquitted. He went to Columbia barracks and surrendered himself to the command ing officer and was then tried and sen fenced on a charge of desertion.
 In rebuking the court. the reviewing au- thority points out that Darrell was ab- sent from his command from the 17th of May, 1900, to the 3rd of June. 1901, over year, and that even if no attempt to de- sert could have been established, an ab- sence without leave for so long period warranted some penalty by way of im- prisonment and not simply discharge from the service.
 In closing his review of the case. Gen. eral Wood says: 'If such ideas of milt- tary justice as the record in this case discloses, are reported to prevail, the con- sequences to discipline of the army can not fail to be disastrous.
