catchy airs of the day so that your friends will enjoy them, and if you can't dc. anything else cultivate the art of talking brightly and of being sym pathetic.
 Every girl can do one thing we'll if she will only take the trouble to find out what that thing is. The difficulty Is that she often looks in the opposite direction. She wants to do something great and showy or nothing at all But there are other talents within reach if she will only look, and these talents may be such a comfort to her in her dark hours that they will make life better and happier both for her and those about her.
 How the world likes a cheerful. plucky girl who makes brave fight and hides her skeleton in the closet instead of folding her hands and whin- ing because things dorSt come her way; the girl who puts her own griefs as much as possible aside-who takes a wholesome interest in life.

FALsTAFF DONE IN FRENCH.

M. Jacques Richepin, a young and talented author, has written a Shakes pearean comedy with dramatic inter ludes." as he calls it. The play is in verse, in five acts and seven tableaus. IT was produced on January. 14th at the Porte. St. Martin. I asked him for the history of the piece, "Oh, there is no particular history" he said, "I took Flagstaff because the character pleased me. 'C'est Panimal human as l explain in my prologue. He is a coward, full of vices, and an incon- stant lovemaker. I try to get my characters as near to life as I can. You see, l am a pessimist. I wanted too, to offer a contrast to Rostand's 'Cyrano. The latter prates of military glory and honor; Falstaff has no such lofty sentiments-he is just human.
 My scenes are drawn from Henry ", but l have taken personages both from that play and The Merry Wives of Winsor.' I have taken the King and Prince of Wales and I have adopt ed two of the merry wives Other wise, I have not followed the action of either one piece of the other I have invested Falstaff with humor; on the other hand. I have presented the figure of the Prince of Wales gradually emerging from the vicious company Of his boon companions until he reaches the high moral level of Henry V.- Paris Correspondence to Pail Mall Ga Zetta

WATER USERS. REGISTRATION
School for Election Boards To Be
 Held on Monday.

Secretary F. H. Parker. of the Water Users association, yesterday complet- ed the great register for the assocla- tion election to be-held on April 5, and the copy for its publication was sub m!tted to the printer. It is found that there are 9S6 qualified voters, iust eighty-four more than are qualified to participate in the city election on the Tonto road bonds. There was little else of special importance to the public going on yesterday at the offices of the association. Many members of the as- sociation called to learn whether or not their names were on the voting list and to secure information concerning nu- merous points that have been suggested to their attention lately by the near ness of the election.
 In view of the fact that this is the first election and not only the voters but the election officers themselves will be called upon to determine many tech nical questions for which there Is no precedent, the president yesterday is- sued a call to all inspectors and judges appointed to preside at the various districts to meet at the association rooms Monday morning, April f. at 9:3O sharp, for class instruction respecting the details of the election, the rulings of the board of governors, etc.

BEAM IN HIS OWN EYE.

Representative Clarence D. Van Duser, of Nevada, had been assailing certain western mining companies that, with bogus pamphlets and reports fleece guilible persons in the east.
 But 1t is a wonder to me- he said, that certain one of these companies has any success at all, for it is con ducted by as illiterate and thick headed a man as I have ever seen. This man is a character. For instance, one day he gave me a long harangue on the Indians love of whiskey.
 Why, he said. once give an Indian taste of whiskey and he'll sell his very soul to get more. I was riding over the plains once with a pint bottle sticking out of my breast pocket when an Indian happened along, and as soon as he saw the pint he wanted to buy it.
 And do you know what that Indian offered me? We'll, sir, he offered me his buckskin brooches, his shirt, his saddle, his blanket and his pony-all for pint of whiskey. What do you think of that?'
 And you said I. did you sell?
 No said the miner. didn't. It was my last pint"

those highest in social standing, from
 having seen its working abroad, it has
 come to be the mark of the proper care
 over young girl that she should not
 drive alone with a young man, enter
 restaurant or attend a theater un-
 accompanied by some married woman whose character and standing are above suspicion Occasionally the sls-
 ter of the girl or the man, even though
 unmarried, may be a substitute for the emperor, and a younger brother may
 do as well since it is universally ac- knowiedged that little escapes the no- tice Of a boy, where young mans re- lations with his sister are concerned- and this insures more exemplary be- haVlor. The hedging about, this pro- tectlve policy in regard to young girls. may not please the man who wants to talk to her alone, and have the op- portunlty of making her the sole cons ndante of his emotions, but it is at the same time an assurance that other men also have been fenced off. and mat none has had an opportunity of offering any but the most respectful homage. Young people have an opportunity of seeing each other alone when under the protection of the home rooI, the young men call upon their girl friends. It is noticeable that ths, manners of young folks are better where the system of chaperonage ob- talns. Even in the absence of the cham eron, the habit of we'll bred restraint continues. and counts for much in all their relations.-Success

SHE WAS GRATEFUL.

MT. Browns business kept him so occupied during the daytime that he had little opportunity to enjoy the sc- ciety of his own children. One day, however, MT. Brown, reproached by the wistful eyes of his seven-year old daughter, invited the little girl to go with him for a long walk.
 She was a shy, silent, small person, and during the two hours stroll not d single work could MT. Brown induce the little maid to speak, but her shin- Ing eyes attested that she appreciated his efforts to amuse her-indeed, she fairly glowed with suppressed happi- ness.
 Just before they reached home, how- ever. the child managed, but only af- ter tremendous struggle with her in- herent timidity, to find words to ex- press her gratitude.
 Papa, what flower do you like best?" she asked.
 "Why, I don't know, my dear-sun- flowers, I guess.'

WHY GIRLS NEED cHAPERoNs.

There is one convention that is most unpopular among young folks and is protested against more or less vigor- ously according to circumstances. This is the exaction made by society that where young persons of both sexes are together they shall be chaperoned. At first sight it looks like espionage-like the treatment that children require and girls and men. conscious of recti- tude of the best possible intentions, de- mand fiercely why they may not be trusted and not insulted by suspicious of their good faith and proper behav- for.

Registration Complete for the Bond
 Election.

The registr ation for the election to ton of the issuance of s67.5OO in city bonds for the construction of the wa gon road to the Tonto dam site, closed at midnight Thursday, the list of names numbering 902
 The agitation in favor of the bonds Is now occupying second place in the minds of many of the people most in terested on account of the election of officers of the Water Users associa- ton, to occur April 5th. The facts in the case. however. have been pretty we'll disseminated in the last few weeks and there is little to do except to keep from forgetting. After the as- sociation election the slate will be cleared and the bond question will be to the fore for the remaining five or six days. Literature facts and figures respecting the bond enterprise are available at all times for those who have not made up their minds yet, and there is really little to do but wait.
 Mesa City will vote on the bond question today and it is expected the result will be very largely in favor of the issue.
 A few who are opposing the bond issue argue that even with the build ing of the wagon road the most Of the freight would still be taken to the dam site via Globe, the expense being less. but those in the best position to know are fortified with facts and fig ures to show that the argument is not sound and that with the road complet- cd there would be a saving in the
