The most popular man in a West

manner satisfactory to the entire
community. To vindicate the mai
esty of the law, the offender was
brought up tor trial. The jury were
out about two minutes. "Well,"
said the judge, in a familiar, off
hand way, "what have the jury got
to say?" "May it please the court"
responded the foreman, "we, the
jury, find that the prisoner is not
guilty of hittin' with intent to fill,
but simply to paralyze and he done
it," The verdict was received with
applause, and the prisoner given an

Andrew Carnegie's last speech to
his workmen at Homestead contained
a passage well worth remembering
"Labor, capital and business abil-
ity," he said, ''are the three legs of
a three. legged stool. Neither is first,
neither is second, neither is third.
There is no precedent, all being
equally necessary" All efforts to
make the stool stand on one leg or
two have been failures, but when it
rests on all three it is hard to up
set.-Selected.

AFRAID THEY WILL DO TOO MUCH

There are some young people who
live in the constant fear that they
will do too much and earn more than
their salary. And for this reason
they never do anything without posi-
tive orders, and sometimes need to
be told several times to do a piece of
work. But it will be noticed that
advancement comes very slowly to
all such. Salaries are not increased
TO stimulate employers to do better
work, but as a recognition of the
fact that they are earning more than
they T getting.
The business man may not say
much when he sees that certain boys
or girls in his employ are on the
lookout for chances to fill in their
chinks of spare time. But the boy
who empties the waste-basket with
out being told, the stenographer who
dusts her desk while waiting to take
dictation, and does not trouble to
ask herself whether this is her right
full work or not, r on the way to
make themselves necessary to the
firm which employs them. There
are plenty of people to do as they are
told, but the services of those who
can act without orders T always at

ASK o D

There is no such safeguard in life
as making a habit of asking Gods
opinion about what we are and what
we do. Some of the successes which
elate Us would not seem reasons for
congratulation if viewed from this
standpoint. Some of our so-call~d
s'failul es" would no longer cause US
regret if we took into account Gods
thought concerning them.
Ask Gods opinion. 1t is the only
protection against disastrous mis-
takes. Test your acts by His stand
ards. Look on your ucces as He
sees it. For the highest earthly
bonors and the applause of all about
you amount to little if He stamps
your life a failure.-Selected.

There is much in this. There are
many able and eloquent men in the

proudly acclaimed. But little notice
is taken of their accomplishments
because they tell the same old story
old but ever new-of Jesus and His

heard from childhood and heard so
often that we take little notice of it.

SAN DIEGO-YUrlA RAILROAD.

The citizens of San Diego are alive to the importance of a rail road to this city and are up and doing. 4 mass meeting was held in that city the other day and an executive committee composed of leading citizens was appointed to make surveys, acquire fran chisesy right-of-way, etc, and to obtain subscriptions for the con structiOn of a railroad from San Diego to the Colorado river and ultimately to penetrate Southern Arizona. The committee is com posed of U. $. Grant, Jr., Geo. W. Marston,. Frank Jennings. l.. L- Boone, all of San Diego; J. E. Boal, manager of the Land and Town Company of National City; Col. $. W. Ferguson, manager of the Imperial Land Company, which is carrying on the largest irrigation enterprise in the coun- try, and w. F. Holt, a banker of Imperial. The committee has entered upon its labors and has already dane considerable good work. The members have re ceived pledges of substantial financial support from residents of the city and county, and have also. been assured of support from eastern capitalists.

One of the delicate products gathered from the mountain for eSts of this country by natives is the soft -shelled pinone: pro- nounced ''pen-yo-ny." The In dians collect the large ripe cones of the MonophiEla pine, which they roast. The thin -shelled kernels, a little larger than
 soldier beans and of a rich brown color, drop out by the thousands and are gathered up for storage and for the market. Iii this condition, slightly parch- ed, they possess d delicate, sweet taste, entirely unlike any other nut, the meat being tender and agreeable, and not adhering at all to the shell.

It is on the slate for Arizona to have another railroad, accord ing to advices received. The syndicate back of the enterprise has filed a declaration of inten
 ton under the railroad eXemp- tion act. Among these named as representatives of the syndi- cate are ". J. Tiffany of New York and Baron de Foptemilar of Paris, the latter beTng already extensively interested in Arizona and Mexican mining properties.
 The route named is from a point at Benson, running north west to Phoenix and from here to some point on the Southern Pacific near Yuma. Points on the line at present are mere con- lectures, but it is supposed that Florence and possibly the Buck
 eye country will be tapped. The company will be known as the Arizona Central Enterprise.

While the orange is profitable, the apricot and peach quick grower, the apple hardy, the cherry splendid bearer the almond easy to raise and safe tree to plant, yet to a great ex- tent, the olive combines the most excellent qualities of all these trees. It is so hardy that ii can be planted at an altitude ef 5000 feet: it Is SO profitable that it eXcels any other tree We have named: and while it is as easy to raise as the almond or fig, it yet has other properties which none of thenA possesses Its fruit, whether pickled or made into oil Is staple production.

 The opening recently of the Algodones land grant promises l to add greatly to the prosperity and growth of Yuma. A com pany has already built ss gravity canal which will carry sufficient water from the Colorado river ] to irrigate probably fifty sections of as fine land as the sun ever shone upon. There is great ac- tivity in this section now. When all this land is growing grain, hay and fruit, as it will soon be, then Yuma will see more pros i perity than ever before. The surrounding mining districts will probably be able to consume the entire product of this rich and extensive valley, the same as the
 mines. of Clifton, Morenci, Globe and Bisbee consume the agricul-
 tural products of the Gila valley.
