THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATIVE
TICKET.

The men named by the Democrats OF
Pima county separately, and the man
nominated by the Democrats of Pima
and Santa Cruz counties in conjunction,
deserve the support not only of all DEM
ocrats, but of the thoughtful, serious
and progressive people of the COM
munity irrespective of party. They
are all men of good attainments and
good character, many OF them expert
enced in the public service, and none
of them unworthy of the confidence of
his fellow citizens.
General Manning, the candidate for
joint councilman, is not only man OF
rare ability. but a citizen of great en-
terprise and foresight, who could be
of immense service to his people in the
senior chamber of legislation of the
Territory. 1t is not often that either
a Territory or State can command
the services of a man of General
Manning's caliber, who has SO much
business of his own to attend to.
Unfortunately the public service,
especially in the Territories, offers
few attractions to men of substance
and ability and character. General
Manning possesses all these qualities,
together with wisdom and intelligence,
and every thoughtful citizen should
take an interest in his election.
The candidates for the legislative
assembly are excellent meh. Judge
L. o. Cowan and N. w. Bernard have
served in the body before, Judge Cowan
representing Mohave and Mr.. Bernard
this county. Mr.. Harry Cody is a
new man in politics. He is an old
time Democrat. He is an old railroad
operative, and was put on the ticket at
the special request and as a comph-
ment to the organized laborers of the
county. The three men named for
the assembly fairly represent the peo-
pie, the social life and the property
needs to be told anything about Monte
Bernard There is no better man in
Pima county. He has been tried Of
ten and never found wanting. His
never failing fealty to the Democratic
party will insure him the votes of all
Democrats. His large and varied in
terests in the county, embracing manu-
facture. commerce, agriculture and cat
tie raising ought to convince reason
able people that no safer man could be
selected to safeguard public interests.
Judge Cowan represents the legal and
mining interests, and is man of high
character and good ability. Harry
Cody was wounded in the railroad SER
vice some time ago, and since then has
been engaged in other pursuits. Back

of his nomination there is a story
which the people ought to know.
When the Democrats were looking
around for proper men to represent the
people in the legislature, they were
desirous )of complimenting the large
organized labor element in the party
by naming a we'll known railroad en-
ploye for candidate to the legislative
assembly. The names of three we'll
known railroad men were laid before
an official of the company, with an
inquiry as to whether he had any OBJ
lection to the nomination of either as
ii candidate for the assembly by the
Democratic party. He replied can
didly and honestly that he had no OBJ
lection to either but if any employe of
the S. P. was sent to Phoenix in a
legislative capacity, he would be ex-
pected to attend to the interests of the
company rather than obey the plat
form pledges of the Democratic party.
When this condition was made known
to the three railroad men who were
under consideration, each refused to
accept a nomination, each declaring
that he could not afford to give up his
job, and that if he was sent to Phoenix
he would go as an honest representa-
tive of his party
Then it was that the railroad work.
ers in active service suggested the
name of Harry Cody to the Democrats
as proper. representative of organized
labor. We think the manner of his
selection, as we'll as the reason for his
nomination, will appeal to all reason
able people. He will represent the
laboring men, will treat the railroad
company fairly, but will not wear its
special brand.
The whole legislative ticket is of
sound material and we'll balanced.
Every man named by the Democrats
for the legislature ought to be elected.

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
Kesw Crop of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.


Every Decade.
A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming of new epoch in theatrical his
sory.
This fact does not apply so aptly to
,fars and stage people who dominate
n the profession. for the life of these
30 far as the public is concerned, is
usually somewhat longer. But with the
rank and file-those who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the liAit Of eudur-
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress, as a rule. passes
away in SO far as the profession is
concerned. and a new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
ranks
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping fihan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to size up the situation
than others. and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people OF
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinction although
this is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines afteT
having been convinced by experience
that the stage. SO far as they arc d.
rectly concerned. offers practically no
opportunity for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file of the profes-
sion is constantly changing. and the
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor is easily disproved.-Chicag

The Word FRattery,

At first sight there would appear to
be little connection between tiattery
and the wagging of a dogs tail, yet
in nearly all the northern language the
same word signifies both, and tlattery
is certainly derived from the word sig
nifying to wag the tail. In the old
Norman ,fagra signifies TO flatter and
also to wag the tail. In Danish logre
is to wag the tail, and logger for cen is
to fawn on one. In Dutch vleyden Is
to flatter and vleydsteerten is TO wag
the tail. In the old German wede!u
is to wag the tail. and in English
wheedle is to gain ones end in flat
terry.

SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.

curious Letters by Harvard Mean
who Served Under Washington.
Some curious side lights on history, IS
valuable in their way as the more seri-
Gus studies. are found in little co1lec-
ton of letters from a Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved in the Har-
ward library. They were written to
relatives and friends in New Hamp.
shire by one William Weeks. a Har-
yard graduate, who was an officer In
Washington's army.
Homesickness must have been severe
at times. though in one of his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
to have had a hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the honors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. '"This
Day. he writes, Il must be at Gen'i
Su!iivan's to take Dinner with him, the
other day l had as great an Honour
confer'd upon mel had the Honour
to take Glass of Wine with Gen'l
Washington & his Lady-But at the
same time l should count as great an
Honour to have the satisfaction Of see
ing, conversing & taking a Glass of
Wine with my-Friends at Home"
There is a curious indication Of the
state OF mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter. where Mr.. Weeks says, IF my
Wages were not higher than expected
when at Hom>. l would by no means
tarry, but as they are rais'd. and for
the Love | have for the Country, can
by no Means think of leaving the
Army
That the manner of obtaining a Her
ward degree has changed radically In
the last hundred years appears In a
paragraph written at Valley Forge In
l711S. Weeks had taken his A. B. three
years before that, but evidently was
anticipating an A. NJ. "As the cam
paign is coming on" he wrote. "I have
but little expectation of coming home
for my degree" But it appears that In
consideration OF the $40 which his fam.
rly forwarded to the college in response
to this request the desired honor was

CATCHING A THIEF.
AM Old Method Utilized by "a German
Omcer In China.


Thirty dollars was stolen at the Of
ficers' club in Tientsin, China, and the
members of the club resolved, if p0ssi-
ble, to catch the thief.
A German captain volunteered to
manage the affair, and the first thing
he did was to summon all the native
servants of the club. He then said to
them:
Some money has been stolen here,
and am looking for the thief, l shall
find him in an hour. not before, since
l need that much time in order to get
instructions from Il celebrated magi-
clan in Germany"
An hour later all the servants were
again summoned, but this time into a
dark room, in the middle of which
stood the table on which the money
stolen had been laid.
Each Of you, now," said the officer,
must go up to that table and press on
it first your right and then your left
hand, and when that is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step into the next room"
The servants did so, and as the last
one stepped into the adjoining room
the officer followed him, and after
looking for few moments at the many
uplifted hands he pointed TO one man
and said, You are the thief" The
Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly
fell to the ground with fright and ad-
united his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by the officer for discovering the cul-
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was in Germany
in communion with the celebrated ma
gician he was carefully smearing the
surface of the table in the dark room
with fat and oil, which he then black
ened by means of SCOT. The innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on the table. according to his instruc-
tions, but the culprit. though super
Stitious, did not do so.
AS a result. while the uplifted hands
Of all the others were coal l@lck, his
were of natural color, and thus his
guilt was clearly proved.-Dettoit Free

Nothing Wasted.

A Scottish farmer when going to
market, it was observed. always took
a hen with him in his trap. The reason
was never known until one day be took
a friend with him on a drive. Every
place the farmer stopped he put the
nosebag on his horse, and then the hen
was SO trained that what dropped from
the horses bag the hen would pick up.

The Democratic candidates for JUS
tice of the peace embrace all the quail
tiles that are required in that Office.
The justice Of the peace is the foun-
tain head of justice. He should have
common sense and courage, a tender
heart and a knowledge of human ma
ture. Justice and law do not always
necessarily go hand in hand. In fact,
as construed, they often differ. Com
mon sense and honesty, and above all,
a simple, sincere sense of justice, COM
prise the equipment. We believe that
Wiley Tussing and w. S. Bartlett come
as near to being qualified for the ideal
justice of the peace as any two men
in Arizona. Both have the milk of
human kindness flowing in them, both
are honest beyond doubt or cavil, both
are students of human nature and each
has a knowledge of the law. Tussing
and Bartlett should be elected.

q few miles distant from Cadiz, and
spends many a day at the naval club
in the old city founded by the Phpni-
clans, where he is the object of much
solicitious attention and affection.
Puerto Real has been nicknamed by the
Spaniards the navy's "Pensionopolis."
for at least one-tenth of its inhabitants
are retired naval officers.
The house in Santo Domingo street
which is Admiral Cervera's home. al
though modest in size and appearance,
Is one of the best in the little seaport
city. It wears an air of comfort and
cheerfulness, even of righteousness.
Here, surrounded by numerous
contingent Of sons and daughters and
their children, the old sea dog spends
his days with his books. The den of
Admiral Cervera is as neat and coy
as ships cabin, the Hat top desk,
medium sized bookcase and two or
three chairs filling nearly all the avail
able space.
The routine of his life, as recently

casino, where he meets his old COM
rades in arms. This is varied by oe-
casional trips to Cadiz.
The admiral draws half pay from
the government and besides has quite
little fortune of his own. He owns
half a dozen houses and considerable
land in the township Of Medina 81

THE BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS.
A Chinese Story of the First Cocoon
of the SiIkwOrm.

OF the SIIkwOrm.
A long time ago, it is said there
once lived in China a king who had
no sons and but one daughter. Now,
this king was very much troubled be-
cause of this, for when he died who
was there to wear his crown? But there
were certain strange men of the kings
city who it has been told could read
from the stars what would become of
every man, woman and child. To these
the king went, thinking that they
might be able to give him some good
news. And indeed they did, for they
declared that his daughter would be-
come of very great value to the king
dom and that at her death she would
leave riches such as no one had ever
dreamed Of.
This story became widely told, and
soon many admirers came to the kings
palace to seek the hand of his daugh-
ter in marriage The princess became
so beautiful and so kind that hundreds
Of people came to worship her. The
king, however, was very much trou-
bled, for he knew not whom to choose
from the many admiring young men as
the husband for his daughter. But the
time came when he must name his
choice.
About this time a very strong king
came while the father of the princess
was on hunting expedition and car
ried her away to faroff country.
Then the advisers of the king met to-
gether and decided that the person
who rescued the princess should have
her hand in marriage.
This was indeed very difficult
thing to do, and every attempt of the
admirers was met with failure. But
high up among the clouds was spirit
who loved the princess, yet he dared
not marry her because she was mortal.
Yet at least he determined to rescue
her. So, entering into the body Of the
kings favorite horse, he broke away
from the keepers Of the royal stables,
hurried to the strange land and return
ed with the princess ON his back. But
because a horse had rescued the prin-
cess the chief adviser of the king was
very much disguised and ordered the
horse to be killed.
However, the king who had stolen
the princess was very strong, and he
came again and took her away. The
only way out of the difficulty now
that the kings advisers could see was
that the princess should marry the
eldest son of the strange king. The
princess wept at the thought of what
was to become Of her. and when the
bridal day came she rushed into her
chamber, uttering terrible screams. A
servant who had heard the cries came
running with the skin of horse, from
which he intended to cut strings to
bind whoever might be the offender.
But the soul of the spirit now awoke
in the skin of the horse and wrapped
the skin about the princess. She fell
asleep and became the first cocoon.
To this day in the silk growing dis
tricts of Japan when the silkworms

worm goddess by reminding her of her

Allies Code of Signals.

Little Allie was very ill, SO Ill that
the good doctor had left strict orders
that she must not talk. Her mamma,
a very sensible woman, knew that it
would distress her little girl not to be
able to communicate her wants and
desires, so she arranged code of sig
nails by which the little girl could
make known her wants. To wiggle
the first finger meant water, the second
finger milk, the third cruel and the
fourth that she wanted her dolly laid
upon the pillow by her side.
This idea was very pleasant to the
sick one, and in short time every
member of the family was able to an
swer Allies finger wigglings without
consulting mamma. The little girl was
very weak, and her life had been de-
SPARED of, but the good doctor said she
would recover if her appetite would
only return. One day her mamma,
who was sitting by her side, saw
thin little thumb wiggling vigorously.
What did the thumb mean? Surely
the thumb had been overlooked.
"What is it, dear" whispered her
mamma, bending over her.
"Meat," came from Allies lips.
When the doctor came in few min
utes afterward and was told all about
It, he said: "Give her a tiny bit OF
meat. She will get well now"
And she did, but she never forgot the
code of signals.-New York Mall ana

Candles.

II thought candles went with stage
coaches, but good many people must
use them yet" said a shopper who
pointed to collection of candlesticks,
all of the utility sort, arrayed in a
house furnishing department. There
were big and little, ornamental and
plain, practical and impractical ones.
Some had broad trays, and others had
none at all, and some had devices for
lifting the candle, while others were
made with deep necks. There still re-
main people who cling to the traditions
Of their ancestors and will have none
of the modern lighting inventions for
their sleeping rooms. Certain women
prefer light in their bedrooms until
they are asleep, and for this purpose
candle is just the thing, for 1t will put
itself out at the time prOportioned by
its length.-New York Tribune.
