The Editor a Soft Thing.

A Florida Editor strikes the nail
squarely or the head in sizing up
the newspaper mans vicissitudes,
as follows:
How many obituaries, resolu-
tions OF respect, cards Of thanks,
notices of fairs, sociables, church
entertainments, lodges, board of
trade meetings and such like, if
the newspapers made even a
moderate charge-even sufficient
to pay for the type-setting would
ever be pu blished?
The truth is that the public

slider the weekly newspaper as a
thing run at the expense Of the
owner for the personal and free
use Of the aforesaid public, and
great offence would be felt if the
publisher dared to say that he
ought to be paid something for
publishing items which are of no
general public interest.

The poet wrote an ode on spring
When all such things were ripe;
/ country paper took the thing
And set it up in type.
But then a bungling tyro came
And dropped and pied the lead;
He tried to set it straight again,
But this is how it read:
IT'S spring! Ships sail the wave-cap-
ped land,
The plough share cleaves the seas;
The birds await the milk maid s hand
The COWS sing in the trees;
And down the lane my sweetheart
trips
And O! she is so sweet
Sweet blossoms grow about her lips,
And smiles Turk in her feet.

A PREACHER LOST.

The following letter was handed to the Review, which may be of some as sistance in locating Rev. Arthur R. Teal, who possibly came to Arizona. c. E. Murray & Co., Douglas, received the letter from James c. Horton of Kansas City, who guarantees any ex- pense for telegraph or other expenses giving information. It reads:
 '"The Rev. Arthur R. Teal, a Presby- terian minister, left his home at Ka- tonah, New York, August 12 1902, and has not since been seen. It is thought that from OverwoTk and study his mind has become unbalanced, as he is gentleman of high character and de- voted to his family, who are in deepest distress on account of his disappear ance. He may have gone to New Mex leo or Arizona, as he had been talking of missionary work there.
 His height is about 5 feet 1O1A inches, dark brown eyes and hair, though quite bald for young man; quite full under lip. Wore a light Scotch tweed suit and straw hat with dark blue bands. Any information concerning him will be thankfully re- ceived by Mrs. Arthur R. Teal Ka- tonah, New York. ."-Review.

phia mint, nor have there ever been, although a great many persons are
 under the impression that anywhere
 from 5000, ,0OO to 100000 a month of these useful little coins are shipped
 from Philadelphia to the treasury de-
 partment in this city and the various sub treasuries.
 But these are cents, not pennies; and | if you persist in calling them pennies
 while you are talking with one of tEe
 clerks in the mint you are corrected
 at every step of the conversation. Pen
 nies, they tell you. have not been used
 in this country since the colonial days.
 when the United States mint was rot I in business. To call cents pennies is regarded as rank Anglophobiaisrn. In technical terms, for use on the books l of the mint, and for correspondence with Washington, pennies are called I"one-cent bronze pieces" In Ordinary conversation they are called cents. But pennies, never.
 There is a reason, also, for the term
 bronze pieces" Of the 1230, ,O75. .S71 pennies that have been coined for this government at the Philadelphia mint ], ,737,S71 were the biz copper pennies
 many persons remember in the days of their boyhood. None have been coined since 1856, but there are still 1, 1S3, 561 of them floating around the country somewhere. Not one dozen of them a month find their way back to the mint for recoining. Where they have gone to is a mystery, as is the ultimate des- tination of the millions of bronze cents that are scattered broadcast from the mint every year. Pennies are very much like pins in the problem of what becomes of them. They dribble back into the mint for recoinng in lots of anywhere from $1 ,000 to $10,000, and not very rapidly at that.
 Pennies are never recoined into pen nies. They are transformed into nick els, which are made of an alloy of p per cent nickel and 75 per cent bronze or copper. So that the cent you drop into the slot machine today will have another incarnation and go travelling around the country enhanced in value long after you are in your grave. The copper discs for new cents are bought by the carload from firm in Water bury, Conn.,, which has a contract to supply them. They- come already millcd and ready for the stamping machines. When rolled along the floor of the mint in heavy trucks to get their face value put on them they are as brilliant as furnished gold.
 You will find more new cents. and, in fact, all small coins, in Philadelphia than in any other city in the country, particularly around Christmas time. That is because they are made there and nowhere else. In all parts of the east people have an aversion to using battered small coins of whatever de- nomination. They are taken up and sent back to the mint O else trans ferred to the remote west. where there appears to be no limit to their dura- tion of service.-Philadelphia Press.

, don,,' wrote the late shah, "the picture of donkey was shown and I asked the price of it. The director of the exhi- | bition, a fat, white bearded man, who gave information about the prices, told me it was $500. remarked: The value of live donkey is $25. How is it. | then, that this, which Is bu a picture of an ass, is to be paid so dearly for?' | The director said: Because it is not source of expense, as it eats neither straw nor barley I replied: True, it is not a source of outlay, but neither will it carry a load or give one a ride" He finished with the words, We laughed heartily"
 Muzafir- ed Din is 45 years old, and is rather fine looking. with strongly marked features and a big mustache, but his bent figure is a contrast to his straight backed father. This is chiefly due to the fact that he is an invalid, suffering from an incurable malady He is a great shot. On one occasion a cop per coin was thrown into the air, and he shot a hole through its center. The shah has evinced great interest in all kinds of ingenious mechanical contri- vances. His other hobbies are pho tography, telegraphy, cycling and riding in a swift automobile He is interested in the sciences and arts. He takes a great interest in Eu- ropean politics. and every morning English, French and Russian news papers are read to him by his secre- taries. The Persian and French papers he reads himself, but all others are translated. Perhaps his weak points are the strength of his prejudices and his obstinacy. When half way to Vii enna he declared he would take a rest before resuming his journey. It was no use telling him the emperor was waiting for him at the station. What is the telegraph for?' he asked.

President F. Yale Adams of the Uni Versity of Arizona was united in mar riage at Los Angeles Wednesday after noon to Miss Leah Darcy of that city.
 Their many friends in Tucson have been expecting the happy. event for some time but not without warning. The engagement was announced about three weeks ago, but the date of the marriage was not set at the time. Prof Adams left the city quietly last Mon day evening for Los Angeles. It was known that Miss Darcy was at her home in that city all summer, so that the gossips began to surmise at once that the happy event would be thing of the near future. Word reached here today that the ceremony had been per formcd.-Citizen.

and this fashion appears to be increasing

day of the narrow belt is over for every

at least three inches wide.
