62 and all the Front Rooms at the Poor House are occupied by Elderly Gentle men who started in at 40 to whip-saw the Grain Market.
 Ollie's People brought him up on the Cheaps, so that he would learn to be Close and not Frivol his Money. He wore Hand-me-dow and Reversible Cuffs. He had one Cravat for Week Days and a Black Satin Effect with Red Coral Pin for Sundays. If he wanted a Pack of Cigarettes he had to hold out when he did the Marketing. All of his Smoking was done in Freight Cars, for he was watched all the while. lest he should fall into Bad Habits.
 On the Day which made him 21, Ollie procured him a Red Check Book and began to experiment with 1t.
 For Years he had nursed an Ambition to be Hobby Dresser. Now that he had broken out and had Uncle's Stuff right in his Kick, there was nothing to prevent him from going as far as he liked.
 So he ordered some Hot Suits with Silk Facing on the Lapels and a lawn, colored Overcoat with Pearl Buttons about the size of Water Crackers.
 
 Shoes all the time and bought large Spark for his Third Finger. Afte- he got into his Gleeful Garments any one could tell, even by looking at him from across the Street, that he was one of the Sure -Enoughs.
 As soon as Ollie began to sprinkle his Currency up and down the princi pal Thoroughfares, he began to have l
 
 overlook the Fact that he was Thor Cughbred.
 After a Family has had its Money for three or four Centuries, 1t gets out of the Habit of courting sidewalk Com ment. But a Nice Young Fellow of Gentle Birth who has been carrying his Roll some 90 Minutes, has to go around opening Cold Quarts and telling how Good he is or else the General Public would be a long time in finding out about it.
 Ollie bought for a great many dlsin- terested Acquaintances who told him right to his Face that he was a Gen tleman of the Deepest Dye. And the way he roasted Walters and Cabmen was calculated to convince the most Skeptical.
 When he went travelling. he always stopped at the Hotel that had the larg- est Mirrors on the Wall. All who heard him when he pounded on the Desk and demanded the Best Room in the House, knew that they were stand ing in the presence of the Young Squire from Yapville-on-the-C Crick
 It was quite a Job that Ollie had mapped out for himself. He was going 10 impress the World. And sucn a large World at that,
 However, he tackled it bravely. He

UNDONE BY A sCOTCHMAN.

We Yankees have been found out at last. All our pretense of being fair minded and scrupulously honest Tn dealing, man to man, has been uncov- cred, and We stand naked before the world as gross materialists, tricksters and dishonest fellows generally, whose greatest glory Is doing somebody That discovery was. to be sure, inevitl ble, and just as inevitable, the discoverer had to be a Scotchman. He came among us quietly and unobtrusively, and it took him less than no time to get at the bottom of things and solve the misery of our commercial supremacy; and we cannot possibly gainsay him MT. Fraser his name is-because he has all the facts down pat. He ''lunched, |" he says, with 200 business men in this country.and he knows all about them. According to Mir. Fraser, the American business man breakfasts at and is at his office before 8. At 12 o'clock lunch is gulped down and he is back at his office by 1 and remains till 6. He may then go home to meet friends, but his conversation is about work, about making money, about dollars. He does not play golf; he only scans the news papers. He does not get any fun out of life. He has no family life"
 Now, how can we get away from that? It is all so terribly true and re- alistic. But MT. Fraser learned still more about us. From his wealth of in- formation and observations he says with great positiveness that everything is gauged by the dollar. The man is most esteemed who is smartest in getting the better of others. Morality doesn't count. To be scrupulous in modern business is somehow poo-hooed as an old-fashioned European notion"
 And, worst of all, everybody here drinks water with lunch" MT. Fraser is sure of that, because not one of the 200 business men with whom he sat cheek by jowl used any other oever- age. He has been telling the people of Scotland these things in such a cock sure and convincing way as to Win high praise for accuracy, discernment and brilliancy. We may be able to fool other visitors into believing that our standard of living is high, that our whole commercial fabric is built op honesty, square dealing and faith in our fellow men; we may delude others into thinking that we really love manly sport and that we are fond of pictures and books and music and rational amusement, but we couldn't pull the wool over MT. Fraser's eyes. He knows us, and we might as we'll own up.
 But 1t would be interesting to know where MT. Fraser ran across his s5O ouslness men.-New York Tribune.

FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
bdward Atkinson's Views on the Use
 of Vegetable Products.

MT. Edward Atkinson is one of the most adventurous and indefatigable of intellectual explorers. The intellectual world contains few recesses into which ne has not penetrated. From fireproof wood he turns lightly away to the use or tubs as ovens in farm houses: from that he hurries off to the status of subject populations, and from that he fits to the diffusion of light on planets through glass. Just now he is trying to find out whether a farmer cannot raise his own fuel "by devoting about one acre in a hundred of his possess sions to that purpose for the supply of one family"
 Anthracite coal" he says. lis be- coming luxury. In about two gen. erations it will be exhausted" There is no way of replenishing the supply. There is just so much coal and no more. Why. then" asks Mir. Atkin- son in a letter to the chiefs of the az ricultural experiment stations, should we not try at once to discover some substitute?"
 Consider the corn crop. The ratio of dry stalk, leaf and corncob is about one

FA1RBANK STAGE ROBBERS.
Charge Against Suspects Reduced tC
 Petty Larceny.

The preliminary examination of E. P. Mower and Clay Hockett, charged with holding up the stage of the Ari- zona Mail and Stage Company on Tues day of last week, was called this morn ing before Judge Wallace, and was con tinued until Friday afternoon at two o'clock, when it will come up before the new justice, D. K. Wardwell At the time of the examination this morning, the charge of highway robbery was withdrawn by Acting District Attorney Gibson and a charge of petty larceny submitted instead. The court ordered the men released on s10O bond, Mower putting up cash bond of the amount. while Hocket succeeded in getting two sureties to go his. The defendants were both represented by Attorney D. l.. Cunningham. The case was post poned until that time in order to se- cure the attendance of witnesses both for the prosecution and defense.- Tombstone Prospector.

GOOD NEWS
Many Phoenix Readers Have Heard
 It and Profited Thereby.

Good news travels fast" and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Phoenix are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading:
 Mrs. M. F. Blanton, of no N. Me Cormick St.. Prescott. Arizona, says: "I have had attacks of kidney com plaint for a number of years, not con- stantly but coming on every now and then, some of them laying me up for two weeks at a time. Whenever l caught cold it settled right in my kid neys and severe suffering was sure to follow. As a rule it was accompanied with dizzy spells and nervous head aches and naturally I ran down physi- cally. felt tired all the time and was actually in misery. I at last became alarmed about my condition and was always on the outlook for some means to check the symptoms but l met with very indifferent success until I went to the Brisley Drug Co.'S store for DOan's Kidney Pills and tried them. They helped me from the first. The treatment brought such genuine bene- fit that I feel like a different person"
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into the Brisley Drug Co.'S drug store and ask what their customers report.

 The wife of one of the chiefs of a bureau in the interior department had a good negro cook who had been with the family for some time. Mrs. Bureau Chief is from the north. She had a chance to engage a white girl, who Is very capable, and she did so.
 The family was fond of the negro cook, and they discussed ways and means of getting rid of her without hurting her feelings. Finally the lady of the house, when it was but a few days before the time for the arrival or the white cook, went to the old cook, and said: Liza, I'm very sorry, but my husband has lost his place and we will have to cut down expenses. You will have to go after Wednesday. I can't afford to keep you"
 You needn't think I'm goin' to de- sert you in bad times" said the negro cook. "Ill just stay right here and help you and I won't want a cent until your husband gets another place. - New York World

Eleanor Duse, the Italian tragedi- enne, was discussing woman suffrage not long ago with a male friend. The latter. by way of poking fun at the woman's rights movement, said. Man was made first, you know, and woman sprung from man. She is his inferior or that would not be natural.' The actress replied. ''I cannot agree with you. It is natural for the flower to come after the stem. but you surely do not call that an evidence of inferior ity''

WASHINGTON SIDE LIGHTS.

When I was a young chap said Major Charley Dick, who intends to be the next republican candidate for gov ernor of Ohio, if he can, "I got a lesson that has kept me humble ever since. I was studying law in an office, and, as was the custom in those days, I was getting nothing for my time except the opportunity to associate with the law yers in the office and to try few minor cases in the lower courts.
 ''I tried case one day and I suppose I put on a bit. At any rate, an old man who had been sitting in the court room came to me after the trial and said: Charley, how much be Xpu maxim now?'
 ''I told him I was a student and was getting nothing just then.

 One morning after the election in the Fifth California district Representative Loud met a very ardent supporter who was dazed by the republican defeat. Tell me- he said in anxious tones, "hOw did it all hoppen? ?"
 Some fifteen or twenty years ago." replied MT. Loud with imperturDa bility. ''I was riding of a Sabbath forenoon just outside of San Francisco when I met a friend who was badly afflicted with asthma. He was often compelled because of this aff1iction to sit up nights. For that reason I could in a way excuse him for indulging in games of chance. He had the betting mania so badly that if he saw two flies on the ceiling he would lay a wager that either one of them would be the first to get away. He was tramping along in front of me, his head bowed low, his shoulders stopping. I knew we'll enough that he had been playing cards all the previous night
 Well, Ike I said, how do you set tie it up with the family?'
 " I don't settle it," he replied, with his head still bowed low. Any man would be fool who tried to settle it. '' Washington Post.
