T was told true fostering story the ether day which believe has never been in print, although such may be the case, says a writer in the Boston Her aid. A well-known society woman sud- denly missed valuable diamond ring from her finger. It was a ring she sell dom removed, but all that could be re- membered about it was that she had just washed her hands. Fearing it had slipped off in the operation the plumb CT was quickly called in and all the traps opened, with the faint hope of finding the jewel, but without avail, and sorrow neigned in the household for the diamond was not only intrinsic ally valuable, but a dearly prized souvenir. Some time laSer the set bowl in the bathroom had to be replaced. and when it was removed, To and behold. crowded in behind the water pipes was the skeleton of a. mouse, and round the sAe.eton's thread of neck hung dia- mond ring. Identification was imme- diate and the mystery quickly cleared | up by the poor little beast. He had feasted on box of bran which milady kept to whiten her.fair hands aud into which she undoubtedly dropped the ring. Mousie, through vanity or acci- dent, slipped it over his head, but in
 trying to escape with the loot he died a felon's death.

A Chance for Silver.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Secretary of War has communicated to Congress a cablegram from the Philippine Com mission indicating grave crisis in the monetary affairs of tie archipelago. The message was communicated to- Congress in connection with mass of memoranda bearing on the problem which IS now to be solved, as to the coinage of some kind of silver to take the place of the Mexican dollar in .he Philippines.
 The commission has eabled that the stock of silver in the islands is rapidly diminishing and they earnestly res quest an answer to the message sent by them of date September 5, setting out the necessity for prompt action and asking what remedy shall be applied.
 It has been found impossible, appar. ently, ta continue the ratio of 20 to established and maintained ar bitrarily and the Mexican money is being drained away very rapidly toward China and India, making 8 dficult fol the army disbursing officers to trans act their business.

A Friend of ArIzona .

The Washington Post prints the fol- lowing interview with c. c. Randolph, a former Arizonan:
 Mir. Charles c. Randolph, for the past four years ediaor and proprietor of the Arizona Republican, "a newspaper in Phoenix, Ariz., and formerly Il Washington correspondent, has re- turned to the city. "The Territory of Arizona most certainly deserves state hood" sssid Mir. Randolph, at the Raleigh, last evening. Ut now con- tains more people than either Wyom- ing or Montana had when those two territories were admitted to the. union, so that there can be no reasonable obs jection to admissios on the ground that Arizona lacks in population. The population of the territory is. now 122 ,00O, gain of 65000 in ten years It appears that there is certain class of Republicans in that state who are opposed to statehood. Included ir that class are manyiot the office-hold CTS of the territory, who, while osten sibly favoring statehood, ,, are secretl.

 "The territory is now opening up quite generally. Notwithstanding 8 great drought, which has prevailed during the past year in the Salt River Valley, the chief agricultural region af the territory, that section is pros- pering. A great deal of the orange producing section is being degeloped. The Arizona orange issweeter, superior in other respects to the California pro- ducts, aud it is harvested two weeks in advance of the more western pro- duet, so that there is 8 great field for Arizona oranges throughout the coun- try. The mineral resources of the territory are virtually without limit. Copper and gold are the leaders in production. The territory contains one of the largest copper mines in the world. The dry atmosphere of the country makes it als an especially salubrious region, people suffering from pulmonary troubles finding it possessed of great curative qualities. It's future is bright, and statehood would work wonder in increasing its development"

Resolutions fos the Farmer.
IFrom the Iowa Farmers Tribune !

IFrom the Iowa Farmers Tribune.l
 Personally we do not put much stock in New Years resolutions. They some- how have knack of failing to stick longer than few days or weeks. But these is one resolution that every farm CT should make and stay by it, and this is to keep an accurate account of his business transactions during the com ing year. If he does not understand the science of bookkeeping a simple method will answer, but he should keep books in some fashion anyhow. There are few callings the business portion of which is more complicated than that of the farmer. yet the one who keeps any accounts whatever is an exception. Many even do busi- ness with the banks, depositing and drawing out funds,. and trust to the cashier or clerks to keep. correct ac. counts.

There is no doubt in the mind of Judge Dustin, of Dayton, Ohio, as to the legal meaning of the word chip py." In the $10.0g0 suit of Elizabeth Ryan vs. Mary E. Ban, in which the petitioner averred that the defendant called her a"chippy," thereby reflect ing upon her chastity, the judge over ruled the demurrer to the petition. The demurrer was presented by the defendants attorneys on the grounds that plaintiff had failed to sustain a cause of action inasmuch as '.chippy" iSa small bird and that 1t was not slanderors to call 8 woman "bird i" a phrase often used by admirers of the gentler sex, who in their blind wor- ship often resort to "slang." In over ruling the demurrer the court took cognizance of the manner in which the term "chippy" is applied, and decided that to call woman "chippy" was to imply that she is unchaste.

Some day the San Carlos reservoir will be esta blished by the government. Its accomplishment is recognized necessity for the welfare of the deserv- ing Pimas. This reservoir is their salvation. Without it they must in- evitably become nemads, probably thieves. Arizona's present delegate. Gen.

 The young people get too close to each other as they dance. It looks bad and is very improper. Young ladies should insist on the gentlemen sup porting their arm at right angles with shoulder, and not rest it upon the young mans shoulder. It is all right to be affectionate, but the place for it is not in the ball room. If you want the young man to hug you, have him do it at home, and not in public hsll, where everyone can see you. Besides this, it is much more comfortable to hold the lady or gentlemen at a dis tance. You dance essier and more gracefully.

The Greater West.
BY GEORGE H. MAXWELL.


 The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World seem but the playthings of chil- dren when compared with the marvels achieved by human effort within the last generation. There are men sti alive who knew the Mississippi Val ley as wilderness. There are those now living who will see more wonder ful transformation of the great arid region still farth CT to the West.
 The great wave of population coming from the East swept steadily vest ward with an unbroken front until it met and was beaten back by the grim desolation of the deserts.
 But the generation is now born that will see those deserts conquered, and made to sustain in comfort and prosper ity greater population than inhabits the whole United States to-day.
 The fast multiplying millions of tie East are beginning to see, as the never saw before, that they need but to reach out their hands to open for them- selves the gateway to the Greater West of tine future, with all it's bou nd- less opportunities for wealth produc- tion and for building homes and p-os- porous communities.
 The "open Sesame" which will swing back this gateway and open it to vast army of home builders has been found. It has been evolved from the experiences of twenty years of pre- i liminary irrigation development and investigation by government exper and engineers.
 It is the inauguration of a broad na- tlonal policy under which our forests shall be preserved and reforested, and the Federal government, owning l09,- OO0, 900 acres of irrigable arid land |, shall build the great canals and irriga- ton works necessary for it's reclama. tion which are beyond the scope of private capital, and shall build great reservoirs to store the flood waters and stop the destruction they now cause as they run to waste; and that not an- other acre of public land shall ever be hereafter given to any State or terri tory, or to any one but an actual home builder on the land.
 The whole people of the country are becoming alive to the fact that the creation and distribution of the untold millions of wealth that lie latent ir the West, awaiting only tue magic touch of water to flow forth, would benefit every class of the people and every section of the country. Al would share in 1.-the millions of new home builders in the West; the East ern merchants and manufacturers whs would supply the new Western market. thus created the workers in the factor ies of the East who would make tn, things the West would want; anc above all, the farmers of the East, wh, would feed these factory workers. NJ product of the land from the Wes would ever come in competition witt the Eastern farm. The fruits of tn, West would come East, as they d. now, to fill want that the Easterl farmer cannot supply, but whateve surplus there was in the West of tn ordinary products of the farm woul' be absorbed by the great market tha is now opening to us in the Orient.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part OF the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their APP
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purities the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
