"a SHRINE.

She sits and seAws in the window there
The sunshine round her fingers,
just touching her braids OF bright Drown
hair
And slender busy fingers.
And she fashions garments fair and q
For thsodear little b~aby-hers and mine.
Hsf swift white fingers can scarce keep
pace
As down the years she %glances,
And sews into folds q null and lace
Her own sweet thoughts and fancies.
And her ewes are bright with light divine
As she croons to the baby-hers and mine.
She drops her work when the daylight
dies
I see them rocking, rocking
There are dimpled arms. two dear, dark
eyes,
A wee blue shoe and stocking.
And nv heart bends low before the shrine
Of my wife and the baby-hers and mine.

The Lord is Good.

The Lord is good. Sometimes we forget
it. Sometimes we feel it. Always we
know it. Few men are really skeptieal as
to the goodness of the great God who IS
at the heart of the whole universe as its
author and upholder. We pity the man,
that rare man, who has lost all faith in
goodness and all faith in God. The Lord
is good. The need is to translate that dec
laration Of Holy Writ into terms of a per
sonal experience, to carry it with one as a
daily conviction and comfort, and to hive
in a constant atmosphere OF praise and
PRAYER in the spirit Of the Psalmist, who
declared: II will bless the Lord at al
times."-New York Observer.

H.bit OF Giving THANKS.

The habit of thanksgiving is a bre-e and
cheerful habit. 1t has no patience with
the weak bitterness that complains that
life is not worth living. 1t sees God every
where in His word and praises Him.
1t does not dwell upon personal disap-
pointment, but enters into the larger lie
Of Gods kingdom.
1t gives thanks in all things, knowing
that "all things work together for good 20
them that love God"
1t is a habit that builds up character. IL
is a habit that no good Christian can pos
sibiy afford to live without.-Presbyterian

UP FROM MEXICO
James Shea Returns To Do Some
 Work on His Arizona Claims.

James Shea is in the city from h.s EsperanZa mines, which are better known as the extensions of the famous Fl Tigre mine in Sonora, Mexico. In the same vicinity also is the Roy mine, which Is being exploited by B. F. GraJ. ham & Co, of Bisbee.
 MT. Shea's property carries mainly gold and silver and he thinks it will prove some day to be a mine of>great value. It is his individual holding and he proposes to develop it, when he will have something worth money either to keep or sell. The district, however. Is at the present time rather holding hack for the completion of the Nacosari railroad from Naco 10 Cos. It is now building and when completed will give that section new life.
 Douglas, he says, continues to grow at the same marvellous rate that has characterized its whole life and every citiezn seems confident Of it's future. Mir. Shea is interested somewhat in Douglas property and expects to invest more money there. His business here is for the purpose of doing the an nual assessment work on soma claims he owns in this part of the world. He will probably be in this vicinity fer sev- eral months.

AN ) EXTER NAL
 GROWTHS removed without the knife or severe measures

D.. Hubbard removes all external growths by local medication. His method is safe, sure a1d suct essful. The doctor makes speciality of chronic diseases and removal of abnormal growths. The knife as is well known is au absolute failure in many eases. pr. Hibbard's method is successful when success is obtain able. His system is rational and scientific and will be fully explained to the afflicted free of charga. Thousands every year die in the United States simply because the disease is pot clearly understood and therefore cannot be rig htly treated. Cases are called incurable which can be cured and without resOrtlng to the knife, with but little pain and complete safety. Those who suffer from diseases of the sexual and urinary organs from contracted disorders and ssmiu5l weakness should at once re .oRnize the known results of such complaints. To such we offer the best, most scientif and successful treatmf mt.

There is little more to report at this time respecting the Dalton case, as those inquiring into his affairs have not yet got to a point where results can be shown. MT.

 MT. Grunsfeld says he has practically secured an estimate of MT. Dalton's shortage with the company, but cannot tell definitely till he reaches Albuquer- que and consults the books of the gen. eral office. He will probably leave for Albuquerque Monday morning.
 Asked regarding the local agency of the company. he said that that mat ter had not been entirely settled either but in all probability the agency will be placed with C. T.

THE GROWTH OF THE FARMS.

Remark is made, in a somewhat complaining tone, that, while forty years ago the farmers owned 55 per cent of the wealth of this country. now they own only 21 Fer cent. The idea seems to be that they are thus unjustly dealt with, and are sacrificed to manufacturing and commercial iiN terests. We cannot see that the point is well made. Upon the face of the case. it is natural and inevitable that as q country of varied industries grows in wealth the proportion of wealth represented by agriculture will de cline. That does not mean that the actual amount of such wealth declines. It means simply that other great in durtries are being developed. There was a fine time when practically all the wealth of this country was agri- cultural. As soon as men started fac tories and built ships those enterprises represented a part of the country's wealth. and so the percentage of agri- cultural wealth declined, although the greatly increa sed.
 The question is not, therefore, what rrnrortion of the wealth of the na- CT whether the actual amount of wealth held by them is increasing at an appropriate ratio. To take the period of forty years, already referred to, it is tc be observed that in it the population of the United States has by 14O per cent. At the same time the number of farms has increas- ed by 1855 per cent, the value of farm property. including buildings. has in- creased by 160 per cent, and the value
Arizona republican., 1903-11-29

of farm implements and machinery has increased by 209 per cent. The first complete report of the total value of farm products was made in 1870. so we can reckon the increase in that value for cnly thirty years. Tn that time the increase was 142 per cent.
 These figures indicate, therefore, that agriculture is making more rapid pro- greso than is the, population of the country. Tn number of farms, in value of farms, in value of implements and machinery, and in value of total pro duets, this is, in proportion to it's pop ulaticn, a greater farming country to- day that it was forty years ago. In that fact there should be ample en- couragement for farmers. If other in dustries have grown still more rapidly that is no ground for complaint by the farmers. On the contrary, it would

THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Phoenix. Arizona, Nov. 27, 1903 To the Editor of The Arizona Re-
 publican:
 Sir:-A few days ago I saw a notice in front of the city hall stating there was q free public library inside and thought l would try and secure :i volume, and in erdeavorinS to do this I got all mixed up in trying to find out what free and public means in this town. I was informed by the lady in charge (vho was very courteous ard obligingA that if not a taxpayer should have to get the indorsement of some citizen of the town who accord ing to the agreement on the card wit, which I was presented would have to be responsible for all my actions contrary to the rules of the library. I told her I was a taxpayer having purchased q piece of property the previous winter but that my name was not on the books as I was not in town when the assessment rolls were made out, but that 1 had paid the taxes. She said under the circumstances I would have 10 get the. endorsement. So I got the endorsement as requested of 2 prominent real estate agent and pre- sented the card when to my surprise I was told I would have to get this gentleman endorsed by some official connected with the library. 1 was getting q Iitsle tired by this time but I thought I would see the matter out so secured the endorsement of tlI" official who promptly signed his name and I thought my troubles were over. When I presented the card, I was asked how long I had been here l said about two weeks when I was informed I could not have the book unless I paid sI.50 for the first six months. Now it seems to me that all this red tape effectually bars the very people who need the books and for whom, as I take it, public library is maintained, from obtaining them and especially the last act on the programme. The rich do not need public library but from my experience t seems that only those who have money and what is still harder to oh- rain influence under certain circum- stances, can obtain a book in the metropolis of Arizona.
