account of a most remarkable cure
of cancer, which medical circles are
eagerly discussing. 1t says the cure
was discovered through the case of
Lady Margaret Masham, sister of the
earl of Romney. Lady Margaret be-
came so i'll that her throat nearly
closed, nourishment had to be ad-
ministered artificially, and her death
was expected in about a week, when
friend prescribed the use of fresh
green violet leaves. The suggestion
was followed. Relief was immediate.
The large, hard external tumor dis
appeared and in a week all pain had
ceased md the cOncerous growth in

THE REV. MERTON MlTHs WORK.

We present to the Rev. Merton
Smith the assurances of our most dis
tinguished consideration. Mr.. Smith
has come to this town to engage In a
conflict with the devil, and we can as
sure him in advance that he has un-
dertaken no frail exploit
The devil Is an old resident of this
town, and the Rev. Mr.. Smith will
learn in time, that the old timers are
generally given the right of way here.
There has been long association be-
tween Tucson and the devil and those
who have spent many Augusts and
Julys here have little fear of hell. Ii
Mr.. Smith can only convince the peo-
pie of this ancient pueblo that hell is
place where chips do not circulate,
where the whisky does not tickle the
throat, where the bar-keeps play no
favorites, where the cocks cannot fight,
the horses run, the men shoot or the
women smile, he may be able to punch
few holes in his enemy's armor But
on the other hand. unless he is able to
prove by indubitable evidence that the
Land of his Desire has all these things
satisfactory, his labors will be in vain.
1t will be mighty hard to convince an
old timer that Heaven is a better
place than Tucson.
The relations of the devil and Tue.
son have been, on the whole, amicable
Tucson has not interfered much with
the devil, and has never been much
disposed to resent the devils familiar
tiles. Under these conditions it will
require all the persistency and stub
bornness of a Scotchman, and all the
fighting eagerness of a ed-headed
man to make headway.
We wish Mr.. Smith joy in his work.
and unlimited success. He has select
ed a field worthy of his energy.

whips the devil in this town i'm

his prowess.

The theory of the law as II stands Is
that debtor becomes the custodian

when does that occur? In an address
of William II. Hotchkiss. referee in
bankruptcy at Buffalo, N. Y, which is

the dilemma Is put thus:
Did you ever know a man who

he was certainly solvent, but after

or confusion more confounding than
that which must result? The inevi-
table outcome will be vast contrac-
tion OF credit; for the seller will either
insist on cash or refuse to sell more
until his bill Is paid-and. even in that
event, he will not be safe II we are to
believe recent interpretations by the
courts.
The question presented to both
debtor and creditor is the more serious
because the law applies only to part
payment If a creditor get his ac-

solvency, that is an end of the mat

fraud connivance about 1t. But the
man with the part payment Is on diff

OF his claim against the bankrupt
estate the court says: You received a
partial payment of so much on such
date. after actual insolvency, and
you must pay it back or you cannot
share in the estate
At the same time the bankrupt Is
shut out of his discharge because he
has made preference" Mr.. Hotch-
