The private pupils cause amusement

gentleman who wished to acquire a
knowledge of English, sufficient to car

CONVERSION OF BARNES.
Sees Error of His Ways and Re-
 nOunces Democracy.

4 special telegram, from St. Louis to the Phenix Republican dated Sep tember IS, says:
 ''The Globe Democrat this morning publishd 3,000 word interview with Judge William H. Barnes of Arizona, who comes out for Roosevelt and gives his reasons therefor. Judge Barnes is a life long democrat, was appointed by President Cleveland a member of the Arizona supreme court and is now general counsel for the Greene Consolidated company. The chief reason he gives for making the political change is that he believes the policies of the republican party are better for the country than the program of the democratic party which really promises nothing beneficial.
 "The republican party, he says, is a party of action and accomplishment. The United States has grown great under its administration and Judge Barnes says that if any of the policies by which it has attained greatness had not been carried out its growth and prosperity would have been retarded. He believes that further prosperity depends upon the retention of the republican party in power.
 Speaking of safe and sane democ- racy, Judge Barnes says that while it is an improvement upon Bryanism and populism, it offers to the country no reason why there should be a change of administration. There is nothing in the St. Louis platform, nothing in the speech of acceptance of Judge Parker to attract the independ- ent voter, the business man, the Iaborer or any other class of voters.
 "Judge Barnes pays a glowing tribute to Presi lent Roosevelt and especially comments him for his stand in the matter of reclamation of the arid lands.''
 Judge Barnes will make a valuable acquisition to the republican party of this territory as he is worker.

in cases of accident and for slight

to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the

in about one.third the time usually
