THE TYRANNY OF TEARS
Excellent Performance of the Paul
 Gilmore Co, Last Night.

"The Tyranny of Tears" played at the Doris theater last night by MT. Paul Gilmore and his company. was appreciated by an audience which com fortably filled the house. MT. Gilmore was no stranger to Phoenix theater- goers. and was greeted as an old friend and the esteem in which he is held was strengthened by his excellent work in the play which John Drew has made famous. Not only was the acting of Mir. GilmoIe faultless. but the same can be said truthfully of the entire com pany. which is exceptionally well bal anced.
 The Tyranny of Tears" is refined comedy, with here and there a scene which is really dramatic. The story, already familiar to most newspaper readers as well as patrons of the theat- ers hardly needs to be told. The sub juga tion to which a young husband has been reduced by a loving but tearfully tyrannical wife, his emancipation from the slavery, the happy ending, and the incidental love making were all brought out in an artistic manner. and the applause was hearty and frequent.

Are Senators Abused?

A Washington dispatch to the Los Angeles Times says that "one thing which is operating against the omnibus statehood bill is the vindictiveness of some advocates of statehood for Arl- zona. who have fallen to abusing every senator who fails to agree that Arizona is fully equipped for statehood Ihere is a vast amount of such abuse III Washington just now. It is coming in letters from Arizona. and is doing an incalculable amount of harm to the en- tire statehood prospect.
 We do not know how much truth there is in this assertion, but if there be any whatever. it is very much to be regretted that any friend of Arizona should be so short-sighted as to harsh ly criticise senators merely because they cannot see their way clear to sup port the pending bill. We are not re- ferring now to the few senators who have been so zealous in fighting the bill as to make groundless and harm full statements concerning this terri tory. but we refer to the great body of senators who are honestly of the opinion that Arizona is not ready for statehood. With these senators no sensible citizen of this territory has any quarrel The senate is required to pass upon a great question-a ques- ton upon which. unfortunately. very few senators who oppose the bill are adequately informed. In addition to this. they bring to the consideration of the subject a prejudice against Ari- zona and New Mexico which leads them to accept too readily any state ment which reflects on either territory But their honesty and good faith can not be questioned.
 And assuredly, the senators who now feel that they cannot vote for ouI emancipation will not be won over by unreasonable criticism or persona abuse However, there is no doub that the dispatch in the Times greatly exaggerates the situation. The people of Arizona have a breeding and self respect which would prevent then from indulging in a campaign such a: the correspondent describes.

Egypt's Great Reservoir.

The dispatches a few days ago an nounced the formal completion of the great reservoir dam at Assouan, on the Nile The enterprise stands as monument to British pluck and energy. Tn reality, it is one of the greatest en- gineering feats ever performed. With in a few months, it is to be hoped, Arizona will be able to announce the beginning Of work onsa great reservoir which will be ahead of every storage enterprise in the world except the stu pendous Egyptian project which has the Tonto reservoir will make the Salt River valley as famous as the valley of the Nile.
 The Assouan dam and the Assiout barrages, which have cost between f2O 900, 900 and f25, 5,OOO, 900, will systema- tize irrigation, impart security to crops and stability to harvests, and widen the area of the lands under cultlva- tion. The annual flood with the fertil- iZed- silt and soil, has already passed, ana the SIulCeS or the ASSOudn OdHl are now closed for the storage of water until March l. The sluices will then be opened gradually, and for four months there will be a good head of water in the Treery irrigating canal for the use of cultivators. The scarcity of water caused by a low Nile will be avoided. and a great increase in the agricultural resources oi Egypt will be brought about.
 The Nile will be held up by a dam one hundred feet thick at the base. and the valley above it will be flooded for fifty miles. Experts, making a striking comparison, calculate that the reservoir will hold water enough for a years full supply to every town and village in the United Kingdom. The engineering works also include an open weir or barrage at Assiout, a long way down the Nile, by which the distribu- tion of water from the great reservoir Is secured over a large area.

Horses which Never Drink.

There are hundreds of horses and
thousands of cattle in the Hawaiian
islands which never take a drink of
water throughout the whole course of
their lives. On all the islands the up
per attitudes of the mountains are
given up to cattle ranges. Except pos
sibly two or three months in the rainy
season there are no streams or pools
of water in any part where the cattle
range, but everywhere there grows

native name of MAMMA. This is both

THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara j. Sherbourne, Profes-
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland St.,
Portland, Maine, says:-
ct heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was cpl
demic, was worn out with constant
nursing, and when 1 contracted it
myself it left me in very serious
condition. I could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was a mystery.
1t seems odd for a professional
nurse, who has had a great deal of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to H. H. Hay & Sons drug store for
a box. But did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
I did I would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and I will be
only too glad to tell them personal
ly. AS long as I live I will be firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills"

only unconquered foe. For thirty years
