yesterday the chief cause Of their emitting
smoke from their chimney was the inability

company has also asked for a proposal
from the firm which placed the smoke con-

arming himself with his trusty
thirteen inch repeater, a culverin,
machete, and some seventeen other
implements of war, with blood In his
eye, and murder in his heart, he
sought the first man who had dared
interfere with his Japanese napkin
trade. But the labor man professed
entire ignorance Of any hostility on
the part Of the unions toward the
drug firm, or any disposition to
interfere with the sale Of Japanese
napkins. Mr.. Edwards stood dunn
founded second or so, and then the
horrible truth dawned on him. He
had been made the victim Of
practical joke at the hands Of his
friends. The new turn was not
wrath sedative by any means. In
silence and anger he returned to his
shop, planning a general defamation
among his friends. But Time that
mellows all grief and heals all
wounds got in, his work. Mr..
Edwards thought after all It was only
a practical joke, and perhaps It would
not be right to render homes father
less and swell the army Of widows
and orphans on account Of 1t. He
reconsidered his blood thirsty deci-
sion, and later In the day call came
that his presence was desired at the
Hotel Sumpter refreshment stand.
He went; and lined up along the
bar of this instructive and entertaining
resort he found his friends and
tormentors, together with their
henchmen, a goodly number. He
bought.

JAPANESE NAPKINS UNFAIR.
Proprietor Of Sumptsr Drug Company Has
His Troubles Also.

Early last Friday morning L. c.
Edwards, proprietor of the Sumpter
Drug company, was called up by
phone and informed that his firm
would have to stop handling Japan
ese napkins or it would be placed
on the unfair list and duly boycotted
by organized labor. The demand
purported to come from we'll
known labor leader. Mr.. Edwards
went skyward into the incorporeal
vital breathing fluid for brief
space, and the surrounding tempera-
ture rose several degrees. He
resumed his prescription, however,
mentally revolving the matter, and
planning dire vengence.
But he wasn't left long to his
cogitations. In few moments
another we'll known labor unionist
called up. presenting the same
demand. This was followed In rapid
succession by another and another,
each purporting to come from q
recognized local authority on labor
questions. The beligerent druggist
could stand it no longer. Donning

ARIZONA'S LIBERAL
MINING LAWS.
Oregon Might Profit by Fol-
lowing Suit.

Oregon might profit by following
the example Of Arizona in the
enactment of more liberal mining
laws. Speaking of the Arizona laws,
the Butte Inter Mountain says:
''The changes made in the Arizona
charter laws by recent legislature
are working in the direction of the
mineral resources Of the territory.
These changes are of great interest to
mining men. The legislation took
the business of incorporating foreign
and local corporations out Of the
hands Of the secretary Of the terri.
tory and made the territory itself the
medium Of transacting this business.
"The auditor Of Arizona has charge
Of this branch Of the government,
and since the change was effected the
territory has been the beneficiary Of
the fees instead of the territorial
secretary, whose salary hitherto has
been princely and greater by s25, 900
or $50, 900 annually than the salary
enjoyed by the president of the
United States. The burden of tax
payers has been lessened and the
credit Of the territory is said to have
improved.
1.-THE change in the laws have not,
as 1t will be seen, impaired their
liberality in any respect, but In some
instances the alterations present new
attractions, and many corporations
formed by non residents have availed
themselves Of the liberality of the
Arizona charter laws in preference to
the laws Of any other state or terri
tory.
''There Is no annual tax or tax on
the amount of capital stock, no an
nual statements are required, no eX
animation of the affairs of the cor
poration is permitted, and the legis-
lature does not reserve the right to
repeal a charter.
Perhaps these changes lean lit
tie too much toward liberality, but
the new enterprises that have come
into Arizona by reason of them would
indicate that SO far the territory Is
the gamer. The complete working
out of these new mining laws will be
watched with interest.

Ladies, Literarv Club.

=
The first meeting for the club year of
the Ladies' Literary club was a most
enthusiastic one, and gave promise OF
a good years work from the members.
The main feature of the afternoon was
the address of the president, Mrs. Bick-
ford. and as embOdying the progressive
ideas of club life the address was one
long to be remembered. In a brief talk
of only a few minutes Mrs. BickfOrd
covered the lines Of thought and work
most TO be desired in the woman's club
Of today, urging especially the practi-
cal lines of work fostered and put forth
by the home and education section Of
the club. A greater effort to increase
the membership and thereby increase
the interest was also urged and the
duty Of the club as a body and of the
individuals in it in regard to the pub
lie schools was made of especial prom
. inenCe. The civic Improvement lines.
the clean city movement and the public
school work are to be made specialties
in the clubs work for the coming year.
After a few reports from the various
officers Mrs. Royle made a request
that the club take some action in re-
gard TO the life work of Miss Annie
Chapman. and in a most beautifully
eulogistic though brief speech, Mrs.
-ROyle set forth the worth and lowell
ness Of Miss Chapman and asked that
at some future time the club might
see fit to make a permanent memorial
i'm the new public library building
among the books which she so dearly
loved. At the end Of Mrs. ROyles talk
Mrs. BickfOrd appointed Mrs. ROyle,
Mrs. Hall and Mrs. G. Z. Allen 10 frame
resolutions to present to the club in
regard TO Miss Chapman's work.
The committee having in charge the
Perry lectures having resigned. the
president appointed a new committee
consisting of Mrs r. @. Woodruff, Mrs
FentOn, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. McCOnahay
and Mrs Franken, This committee
viii make the arrangements for the
lectures to be given the last of OctO-
Der. Mrs. Hal Brown, chairman of the
local entertainment committee for the
federation reported the work of the
committee and requested the cO-OpeTa-
ton of the club members in entertain
ing the visiting delegates.
Some splendid musical selections
were rendered. three solos by Miss
Edna DWyeT being most heartily ap-
preciated. Young Master Peterson rem
dered a violin selection for which he
was recalled with warm applause. He
was accompanied by hi sister After
the programme the members enjoyed
an informal cup of tea and exchanged
greetings after the absence for the sum-
me-
