Roosevelt "a Worker.

President Roosevelt is a worker.
He has always been IA worker. We're
he a millionaire, with his money in.
vested in government bonds, he would
continue to work every day. He be-
lieves in work, not only for himself
but for all who are able to labor. In
one Of his late New England speeches
the president was emphatic in the
declaration that all boys and girls
should be taught to work For the
most part the people agree with him.
Tramps and lazy persons will object,
and butterflies of fashion will think it
Just awful, but work is needed by
every man aud woman, Work is es-
sential to good citizenship, to the
building up Of character and to the
progress OF the world. The presi-
dent sets an example in being busy
which is worthy of emulation.

The Mails.

In the course of time, the unwind
ing and reminding of governmental
red tape and responsive to vigorous
kicks from hereabouts, the postal de-
partment has begun to correct the
egregious blunder of supplying the
Tonopah mail via Candelaria. There
has been posted notice inviting pro
posals for carrying the mail from So
daville, sixty miles, six times week
and allowing thirteen hours for the
trip. But the time specified reads
that the mail must leave here at $50
a. IN. and arrive at Sodavile by 4 80
p. m. From Sodaville the stage will
leave upon receipt of mail from south
bound train, due at 1850 a. IN. Bids
to be received until September 25th
and the contract to continue from
October 20, 1902, to June 80, 1906.

At The Hague.

Senator Stewart is at present at
The Hague, in connection with the
Plus fund arbitration, in which he
has taken deep interest The case
involves the title to large amount
of money claimed by the Catholic
church of Lower California, TO be
held for it by the government Of Mex
leo 1t was due largely to the Sena-
tors efforts that the claim was sub
mitted to the arbitration of the dis
tinguished tribunal now engaged on
its settlement. The Senator and Mrs.
Stewart, since the sale to Senator
Clark of their old home in Washing
ton known as Stewards castle, and
its subsequent destruction, had lived
in the winter time in an old fashioned
Iesidence on T street, near the state,
war and navy department buildings,
In the summer they spent more or
less time at Ashbury, village in
Virginia, where the senator had es-
tablished a large diary farm which
he ran on scientific and sanitary
principles. OF late wears they have
not taken so much interest in social
affairs as formerly.

Relieves Mars Inhabited.

That a people superior In ntelli.
gence Ia those Of the earth inhabit
The planet Mars is q conclusion that
will be- set forth by Professor G.. W.
Howe, head Of the department OF AS
tronomy Of Northwestern university,
in "A report which ne Is compiling, Of
his summers observation from the
Dearborn observatory. He asserts
that as a probability based on recent
discoveries, and adds that, of course,
it can never be established positively
The conclusion includes the accept
ancc of the theory of evolution and
the statements of leading astrono-
mers that climatic conditions of Mars
are the same as Of the earth. The
possibility OF Venus and Mercury be-
ing inhabited is admitted, because
they have solidifed, and the intense
heat resulting from the proximity to
the sun may have been overcome by
deeper covering Of atmosphere.
None of the other planets, in the
opinion of the professor, could con
tain animal life.

good of all. Since that time they have
lived and labored as one large and happy
family. All of them vowed not to accept
a penny from their husbands, and they
didn't.

products they soon raised quite a COM

no use going home just for the night, SO
they closed their homes and established
themselves in the inn. Where father in

They offered, however, to take husbands
along if they would be good and behave,

filed quickly.
Men Considered 1t Joke.
The men took it as huge joke at first,
declaring that no dozen women could live
under one roof peacefully, and allowed
that Mary and Martha would be tired of
their foolishness and be back home tear
full and penitent within week But they
didn't know. These plain, hard working,
church going men didn't realize the
strength of this dollar and a -half-denied
movement, backed, as 1t was, by the
fanatical belief that theirs was the only
right way to serve the Lord. For the
sanctified sisters are God fearing. God

way and chose to follow it, not question
ing the right of others to do the same.

After asking several times without hav-
ing her request granted, she took her first
step forward and asserted her indie
pendence. She told him from that day
forth he should never put another penny
in that house under any circumstances,
nor should he ever give the children
cent; that she intended to run the house,
support the family, and have plenty in
the bargain, without begging for it. He
only smiled, thinking, of course, he:

told her, man-like. she must be crazy.
She knew differently. He laughed and
told her whenever she wanted money she
knew where to come and get it, but she
said that would never happen again. and
it never did. He remained at home for
six or eight months after that, when he
left her. but she never broke the vow she
made. The day after a meeting was

ENGINES
Helped to Delay the Freight
Deliveries.

Some Of the railways. the power OF
which was badly crippled by the rush
of trade which had lasted oil last year,
are slowly getting their equipment
back into good condition. and the con-
gestion of traffic, which has been the
source Of great deal of worry, Is
slowly adjusting itself. 1t has been
remarked by many of the local off,
cials, that the trouble Of most OF the
roads came not alone from the scarcity
of cars, but that the state of the en-
gines and power generally, had much
to do with the failure to deliver goods
on time. The annual trip to the round
house Of many engines was found to
be impossible last year, because of the
heavy business, which required that
engines be on the road all the time.
OF late, however, the rush of business
has decreased so that many necessary
and long delayed repairs have been
made, and most of the engines are
again efficient.
