Though Gen. Lew Wallace's hair
and beard are now snow white, he
still walks crectly and talks as enter
tainingly as ever. The venerable In
diana author declares that he never
felt better in his life and never suf-

refuses to talk politics, saying that
the opinions of one who is out of pub

Organ of the Knockers.

The Los Angeles Times of Thursday
last published two columns of screed
against the new gold field near King
man. Several days ago a tenderfoot
from the Times staff arrived in King
man and at once proceeded to the
mines south of town. He was taken
In charge by more tenderfeet and lead
around to all the granite dykes, located
during the first days of the excitement,
and from each samples were given him
with the assurance that they all carried
gold to fabulous extent. Not one of
the reputable veins of the camp we're
visited, nor was there SAM pie taken
from a single quartz ledge by this
knowing knocker. The idea that
tenderfoot penny a-liner can go into
camp and in one days time size up its
extent and worth 10 really preposter.
Gus. The fellow might be able to tell
what he knows about the tonnage of an
alfalfa field, or the yield of sugar beets,
or the profit of a rabbit warren. but to
size up mining camp he would of
necessity have to employ an expert
miner and have the knowledge hypo.
dermically injected The Times with
Its well'known enterprise for knocking,
sent this man to Kingman for the pur-
pose not of getting at facts, but to kill,
II possible, the mining sentiment that
was apparent in this section. The fell

khaki suits aud all the requisites of
the alfalfa expert, prepared to make
an impression on the natives of be.
nighted Arizona. The native loaded
them up with all sorts of ghost stories
and considerable building rock and
sent them home, and thus the organ of
the knocker builds up it's screed
against the camp and Arizona.
Now, to the fact: The new camp be-
low Kingman has many meritorious
mining claims that have proved their
worth before the appearance of Times
knockers. The Mcguire group of mines
are among the best properties in the
territory of Arizona and have been
worked legitimately for many years
and are now in such state of develop.
ment that they can furnish ore for
years to large mill, which is soon to
be installed. The Sorpress company
undoubtedly has several promising
mining claims, notably the Withers
mine, known as the Lookout, and the
old Buckeye. These two veins lie
against the volcanic matter and have
produced some of the richest gold ore
ever found on the coast. There are
many other promising mining claims
in that camp that will, with develop
ment, become good producers. No
knocking that the Times or its corps
of tenderfoot writers can do will in
any manner retard the growth of the
new camp, nor will it have the desired
effect on the county as whole.

SHE HAD HER REVENGE

Revenge is sweet, and complete
triumph over the foe is most satisfac.
tory feeling. So there must be one young
lady in London who is perfectly happy.
She happened, in going from Kensington
eastward, to step into one of those pirate
buses which are particularly rife at hol-
iday time. On rendering her customary
two-pence she was informed that there
were no fares under six-pence, and, as
did two other victims, who were her only
fellow-passengers, she paid. The day
was dirty, the rain falling, and walking
most unpleasant, SO the vehicle was stop
ped many times to allow would-be pas
sengers to enter, but to each and all the
young woman, who was costly ensconced
at an end seat, said in dulcet tones: "Ex-
cuse me, but are you aware that this is
pirate bus? There is no fare below six
pence" Everyone of the people thanked
her, and stepped down. At Hyde Park
there was quite crowd waiting to get
lift. As they boarded the bus, however,
they were met with the silvery notes
warning them of their danger and the
nature of the vehicle in which they pro-
posed to travel. The result was that the
bus remained empty, save for its origi-
nal passengers, till Chancery Lane was
reached, where the young lady alighted,
and as she nodded the conductor "Good
morning." she seemed well pleased with
herself,

WILL DISCUSS MEN

At the next meeting OF the Texas Fed.
Grafton of Women's clubs this question
will be solemnly discussed: "What shall
we do with the Menu"
That sounds revolutionary and slightly
impudent. 1t gives the impression that
in Texas man is on his last legs, and may
soon rank with the great aux and the
dodo; that woman, in Texas, at least,
has learned to live within herself, and
has found means of rounding out exis-
tence, and making it one grand, sweet
song, without the necessity of mans pre-.
sence.
Let 'em talk.
The men are discussing the woman
question; the women are Grating on the
man question. There has been some
talk about chopping the word "obey"
out OF the marriage service, and lot of
women have wasted breath shouting for
recognition of the fact that they are as
good as men, when the world knows
that they are mighty sight better.
What of it?
The status of men and women hasn't
changed. The average man wants to be
good and true and prosperous. Earthly
paradise for him is wife who under
stands, loving children and home.
The average woman feels that she has
played the fullest part in life when she
holds her own child to her breast and
hears that grand word, mother" She
knows that while there may be fame
and rewards in business, the crown she
wears as wife is made of pure gold, and
there can be no higher life in this mater
ial existence.
Solet humanity argue and puzzle and
talk of amending and revising the race.
1t can do no harm, and it will never
change natural love and the attraction of
the sexes which has existed since the
days OF the Garden of Eden.-Des Moia,es
Ne,cs.
