In baking bread it is better to overdo
rather than underdo the work.
To make a good digestible pie crust
use cream instead of lard, and it will
be light and healthful.
If there is not batter enough to fill
the gem pan, put cold water in the
empty space before setting the pan in
the oven.
The rich cheeses, which have the
largest percentage Of fat, are those
which blend well with bread in sand

sugar, half cup Of flour, little Gin

Sweet potatoes are much richer twice

vegeta. e is good, but when the bak-
ing or boiling is followed by subse-
quent cooking in the pan or in the
oven they are far better.

MURPHy'S CANDIDATE.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Phoenix Republican, summing up the
work of the recent Republican con-
Vention, says:
The people of Arizona, and least of
all the Republican voters, will not De
fooled by the frequently reiterated
assertions of the Democratic press
that this or that faction" had some
thing to do with the nomination of Mr..
Morrison. There are no factions or "e1e-
ments' in the Republican party of Ari-
zona. It's leaders are united and working
in absolute harmony, and it is as GER
tain as fate that Bob" Morrison will
poll every Republican vote in the Ter
ritory.
This is highly satisfactory. 1t is a
declaration that Murphy has swallowed
the factions and the elements, and now
presents fine, rotund, united front
The Republicans who were chuckling
a few months ago under the delusion
that Murphy was wiped out of Ari-
zona public life" can now see that not
only is he not wiped out, but that he
is the absolute, unquestioned master of
the party.
Long before he retired from the office
of governor, Murphy determined to
nominate Morrison for Delegate to
Congress. 1t was to be Morrison's re-
ward for defending Murphy in the
Wilson taxpayer suits. Murphy con-
veyed word to the faithful then that
Morrison should be nominated, and
now it is done. No wonder Murphy's
organ recognizes the felicity of the
situation.
But what do the people of Arizona
think about it? What will they do
about it? Morrison is concentrated
Murphyism. He is a product of Muir
phys school and Murphy's training.
If there are any fraudulent bonds to be
saddled on the people of Arizona,
Murphy's man can be relied on to do
the job just as effectively and read
lily as Murphy himself.

Rejected Fortunes.

Professor Bell had strenuous time
over his invention of the telephone. He
took the first working model of his
instrument to John A. Logan and Of
fered him a half interest for $4,000,
saying that it would do away with the
telegraph and that there would be mil
lions in it. Logan replied: Il dare say
your machine works perfectly, but who
would want to talk through such a
thing as that, anyway? l advise you to
save your money, young man." Bell
then offered tenth interest to an ex-
aminer in the patent office for 500 in
cash. 1t was refused. That tenth in
terest was worth $1,5O0,O00 in fifteen
years.-pearson'S

Outside of the great issue of State
hood, which would be imperiled by
the election of any Republican as a
Delegate to Congress from Arizona, it
is the duty of the people to repudiate
Murphyism with all that it stands for,
past and present. The public-spirited
Republicans of Arizona should be as
much interested as the Democrats in
ending the dominance of Murphy, ana
we have no doubt that they will join
with the Democrats in burying Muir
phys man under a majority that at
least will be suggestive.

Crowned Himself.

That was curious sort of lmprOmptu
coronation in which his majesty King
William ". figured. Things did not
go very well with Earl Grey's govern
ment after the second reading Of the
first reform bill had been carried by
majority of one in 1881, and one Fri
day in April they suddenly got the
king to go down and prorogue parlia-
ment in person. Somebody went off to
Che Tower to fetch the crown, and with
scratch body Of attendants his maj
estyo drove down to the house of lords.
What happened there is described III
Greville's memoirs"
The king ought not properly to have
worn the crown, never having been
crowned: but when he was in the rob-
ing room he said to Lord Hastings,
Lord Hastings, l wear the crown;
where is itY' 1t was brought to him,

If the Democrats of Pima county are
desirous of having a sure thing at the
battle of ballots next November, they
must nominate a stronger ticket than
the Republicans succeeded in doing.
There is not much party policy in
volved in the conduct of local affairs,
and the people will be disposed to Sc
lect the best men irrespective of party
brand. 1t should not be forgotten
that it is much easier to nominate
than to elect, and that a great many
more people habitually participate in
the latter than in the former function.
Party Endorsements will not count for
much if the candidates are not wor-
thy of public confidence.

ENGLiSHMAN AND TURK.
How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.

How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.
An Englishman has just had a very
curious experience, says the London
Telegraph. He had lent Turk some
money, but the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid par
ticular charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt. The eldest son
was making arrangements according
y, but also died, and he, too, begged
his family to pay the money as soon
rs they could.
One day the Englishman received
visit from q member of the family,
who said that there were now four
members of it left and they were
ready to pay, but one of the daughters
refused to subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter, and if the English
man would come to the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added,
If you see there is any difficulty just
the next world!7
Accordingly the Englishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence of
mollah, the ladies being behind a
screen. The mollah began by asking
if he had truly lent the money, how
much it was and if he would take any
less. One of the women behind kept
saying it was all fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for it,
that they had told him to come and
get it and if they did not want to pay
it he would leave the matter to be set
tied in the next world.
There was dead Silence for a few mo,
ments, and then the women called
their brother, and each paid her share
without word. 1t seems the prospect
Of meeting the father in the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious thing to face.

moral condition. If the conscience of
the community itself is not so utterly
scared as that of the robber officials
the immediate future will find every
man of them securely lodged behind
prison bars. That is the only vindi-
cation which st. Louis society can Sc
cure for itself against the imputa-
tion of being itself in the morally SUBJ
merged condition of those of it's public
servants who are involved in these
transactions. 1t is the only defense
which American society possesses
against the inroads of this form of
crime. 1t is unfortunately too true
that in st. Louis and elsewhere the
men who make of politics a profession
are pretty close to the moral type rep
resented by the st. Louis boodlers.
The conditions in st. Louis should
be a warning to the people everywhere
of the absolute necessity of scrutiniz-
ing closely the characters of the men
they commission as public servants.
Men of proved honesty and capacity
only should be chosen to administer
public affairs The people of each
community should be the guardians Of
their own interests, and when a public
servant is found wanting he should be
treated exactly as a faithless en-
ploye in private service.

THE GREAT JOKE, DEATH.
Funny side of Dying Often Treated

Death" said a publisher, "has been
treated humorously in our literature
often. Indeed 1 am quite sure that a
collection of many thick volumes might

Of our best writer's of this sort of
verse. Don't you remember his ballad
on the young sailor who died heart
broken over his girls unfaith? The
last stanza was:
''Ilis death, which happened in his berth,
At forty odd befell
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell
Hood did another ballad on the SUBJ
ject Of a soldier who lost both legs in
battle, who was in consequence Tilted
by his sweetheart and who then hung
himself. Now, that is rather tragic, is
not? 1t has a bizarre but none the
less poignant tragic note. Guy de
MaupassAnt indeed once handled al
most this same situation, but he han
died it from the opposite viewpoint.
and don't you remembec how he mar
rated the first, the crucial, meeting Of
the lovers after Ben Battles double

"But when he called on Nellie Gray
She made him quiee a scott,
And when she saw his wooden legs

For, though despair had cut him up,
1t could not cue him down.
"There is a tremendous literature Of
humorous epitaphs. There must be,
fancy, 10000 of these, but two of them
are all can recall. The first goes:

splitting aspects of death, some OF
which have caused tender hearted Ia
dies to double up with mirth. Johnny
Jones and His Sister Sue is one such
song, and l bet that six people out Of
ten in America know it by heart.

The most amusing thing about the
trust discussion is the claim of part
Of the Republican press that President
Roosevelt is powerless" to bring his
party to his views of the question. He
is not trying to do so. He quit some
months since ,and the trusts are now
generously certifying that "he is the
most dangerous man they ever met"
With his Attorney General doing moth
ing his census bureau trying to show
that trusts are insignificant, and his
department of labor endeavoring to
prove that the beef combine is not
responsible for the increased cost Of
meats, President Roosevelt can not be
said to be engaged in any very siren
nous opposition to the trusts. He has
fairly earned his nomination, and the
trusts should let him have it without
further cavil.

The Disadvantages of Heroism.

The Disadvantages OF HerO1sm.
1t would be a good thing if in ouI
public school courses in heroism to
teach the boys and girls that. after all
while heroism is a fine thing and a
great thing, it is most uncomfortab bic
thing and that possibly, on the whole.
the best and most lasting work that is
accomplished in life comes from a
steady application of all ones best en-
ergies to a noble purpose, meeting with
honest and patient effort the emergen-
cies and vexations Of daily life and
holding true to the middle course,
which assures success without bring
ing notoriety. A fixed purpose to do
well that which one has to do will in
the end bring laurels of more perma-
nent value to the world at large and to
the unheralded hand that achieves it's
purpose than those which are even
worthily bestowed upon the brow of
him who avails himself Of an unusual
chance in an abnormal fashion.-Har
