The people who are satisfied with themselves are seldom satisfied with anyone else.-Philadelphia Record.
Arizona republican., 1903-12-18

The Mesa Ward choir held success ful rehearsal last night of their musical and dramatic program to be given next week.
 Quite party of telegraphy linemen were in town last evening, purchasing gloves and other supplies for the cold weather. The boys are now about two miles this side of Queen creek, and have been making good time despite the nature of the poles they have to work on. One of the men said if he did not get a fall at least twice per day he felt that something was wrong. The telegraph poles contain many knots, and if the climber hap pens to stick a spur in one of them it slips out and unless he is very quick a fall is certain.

New York, March 30.-The great ma
jority of women pass the greater part
of their time at home in spite of the
common cry that they live more away
from the domestic shrine than in it,
and so it behooves them to have many
neat and dainty as we'll as sensible
and serviceable home dresses suitable
for everyday wear.
The reason that the Frenchwomen
are always 50 well dressed is because
they take pains to have enough OF
binary home dresses to spare their Best
ones. 1t Is a desirable art to be able
to look we'll dressed at home at ali
times 50 that If any chance visitor
should happen in he or she need not
wait a long time that the lady may
dof an old and shabby dress and put
on one for show. The true gentlewo-
man Away. looks neat and nice in
the privacy of her own home.
The old new mohair in the pretty COL
ors and black Of this season makes the
incest Of home frocks for ordinary
wear, and a gown Of it is quite fine
enough for any one. The simpler such
dress is made the more genuine sat
isfactiOn it gives and the longer it re-
mains fresh. Still there is no reason
why such garment cannot be devel-
Oped in Il more ornate style. Mohair
is SO lustrous and bright that it re-
quires little trimming. and what i
does have should be applied more to
tone it down than to add to it's bril-
lancy.
In the illustration is a very pretty
home dress of gray mohair. The skirt
has several rows of soutache braid in
gray, one shade darker, set on in short
scalOps. The skirt fits closely around
the hips, but flares widely below The
waist is quite plain in the back but
has a belt. while in front it forms IN
open blouse effect, with a full silk vest
in soft reseda green. There are IT,
pels oyerlaid with heavy white lacr.
The sleeves are rather close biShCS)
shape, which adapts them to home
wear most admirably. For with the
wide sleeves almost any kind of work,
sewing Or anything requiring active
use of the hands, is impossible.
This would not be half bad design
to follow in making up some of the
wash fabrics. 1t is not always easy to
find a design so practical. If one
wished it Il little more ornamental, all
there would need to make it so would
be to add a fiounce or a row or two of
good strong washable lace. There is
madras cloth mercerized so that it has
the sheen and gloss of rich silk. with
dainty stripes in all sorts of colors and
tints. The trimming to this material
may be entirely of itself, cut and strap
stitched on the bias. This is very neat
and serviceable.
There are also mercerized panama
suitings, all really desirable. Some Of
this looks like the finest silk taffeta
and is shown in plain color, stripes,
arabesque designs, medalhons and
scrolls. Some is very Persian in color |
Ing, but most Of it is in the tints and
In pale blue. green, silver gray and a
rich tan. All Of these come up beauti-
fully with lace as trimming.

CABLE SAILORS TO -. .'
BE ASHORE TODAY
Steamer Silvertown Returned
From Sea After Completing
Her Task.

A happy rumor went around the ca
BILE steamer Silvertown shortly after
she arrived in port at eleven o'clock
yesterday morning This was to the
effect that the 127 members of the YES
sells crew who have not had shore
leave since the vessel left Portsmouth.
England, will be allowed liberty today.
Over sixteen thousand miles of sea,
calling at ports half a dozen times
yet not allowed ashore makes sailor
anxious for fling and the chances are
that. when the English seaman goes
over the side Of his vessel today, he
will see to it that every one ashore
knows that he is also on land. The
Silvertown is now lying at the new
Government wharf. She will remain
there a couple of days and take in coal
and then go around to the Eva end of
the Railway Wharf and pay out about
200 miles of cable into the tank recent
to hold the cable for repairs that at
some future time may be necessary to
the line connecting San Francisco and
Honolulu.
Had one been aboard of the cable
steamer off Makapuu Point on Thurs
day night a thrilling story could be
written for the vessels final work on
the big ocean enterprise was surround
ed by all that goes to make the setting
of a powerful scene When both the
shore and deep sea ends of the cables
had been brought on board Of the Sill
vertowp and tests made Of them they
were brought together on deck. Dark
ness came on and under bright lights
men worked on joining the two cables.
The gutta percha, coverings. and ar
NOR of each end was stripped of leav-
ing the ends of copper wire In the ca
bies exposed for about four feet. These
were quickly welded and soldered to-
gether and a coat of gutta percha was
plastered around the exposed section.
Then there was a wait of two hours.
The gutta percha had to harden before
it could be worked upon further. At the
end of two hours the coverings of the
cable were wrapped about the gutta
percha. After this strong steel wires.
the armor of the cable, were wound
around and it welded together.
The cable was now ready to drop into
the sea. Perhaps at that very moment
d message was running from San
Francisco to Honolulu through the
hands even of the men that held the
big cable Then the deck forward was
cleared and lines We're arranged in such
way as to drop the section Of joined
cable over the steamers bow. This was
the work OF but a few minutes. AS the
cable was let go the wild waves of The
channel were disturbed by a glad cheer
for the Pacific Gable Company signify
ing that the ocean work of the Silver
town was done and that Hawaii had
been Joined to the mainland. Then
three cheers were passed around to
about all the officers and all except
those concerned in the actual navisa-
ton of the vessel gathered in their
quarters The crew were served with
an extra dot OF grog' and in the

QUEEN OF PACIFIC
MADE LAZY TRIP
Korea in No Hurry and Slowed
Up in Order to Keep on
Schedule Time.

Floating across the Pacific between
this port and Yokohama the giant liner
Korea "the Queen of the Pacific had
two holidays while at sea, Christmas
and New Years. Captain Seabury
brought his vessel lazily along yester-
day morning. He did not try for
record but simply drifted as he had
orders to make the trip only accord
ing to schedule and to do this he says
put little steaming is necessary.
The Korea berthed at the Pacific Mail
wharf and immediately started to dis
charge j, 1928 tons of cargo for Honolulu
Her through cargo is a very valuable
one as it consists of 5000 tons of goods
for San Francisco and overland. She
has LOGS bales of raw silk. $4,000 mats
and sacks of rice, LAST bales of India
coffee bags, and other merchandise.
on Christmas day the vessels big
saloon was deliberately decorated. Chief
Steward Ashman served up what is
said to have been the finest dinner ever
served aboard of Pacific Mail steamer.
New Years day was celebrated in a
mild way.
A passenger described the voyage as
a perfect one There had been good
weather all the way from Yokohama
and only once did the vessel show any
tendency at all to roll. The stewards
put racks upon the tables in the saloon
SO that dishes would not be broken IN
case the steamer rolled too much.
CAPTAIN Seabury entered the saloon att
er these had been put in place. he
gave the racks a glance of contempt
then he called the steward. Here
steward he said, what are you trying
to do Take off those racks. Are you
trying to spoil the reputation of my
vessel The finest steamer in the PACING
certainly does not ride so unsteady as
to need fences around her dining tables
in order to keep the dishes from escap-
ing" The racks disappeared imme-
diately, and the dishes remained in their
places not being affected at all by the
little roll of the vessel.
