A DIseUsTE0 INVENTOR.

The man who invented a device by which Usero of telephones might see each other has broken his model into pieces and destroyed every plan and specification of his invention. His reason is that he would be cheated out of it anyway! It is a pity that he had no adviser whom he could trust to SC cure to him the advantages of such a discovery. Inventors are seldom good business people, and are usually in ne- 9essity because they spend much un- requited time and effort over their dis coVeries, and when they make a hit are out of bread and rainment, so that their necessities are taken advantage of by designing men and they see the profit go~to others.
 Still, the discoveries of such devices as the sewing machine, the telephone the air brake and many other inven- tions that are now prime necessities in the business world had their reward This proves that an inventor need not be without hope in the world This invention for seeing by telephone has great possibilities. The user of the in strument would gladly look upon the hello girl who is ''sassing" him. and she would like to make a shoot at the man who is swearing at her. Parties

Domestic Life In France.

Why the decent French novel is all ways dull, and why the interesting French novel is (almost) always in decent, are questions that the Aneri- can reader of French fiction must often have asked himself. Miss Betham- Edwards, in atempting to answer them in "The GentIewoman," comes to the conclusion that it is because French family life, the life of the happy, pros porous family in the French suburbs or country town, CT even in Paris, is so hSpelessly humdrum, so maddeningly nonotonous and placid. that the French story writers and novehsts are driven to be sensational by a, sort of instinct of self-preservation.
 Society is co constituted in France % Miss Betham- Edwards says, by way of support for this theory of hers, "that the novelist is forced back upon the exceptional and far-fetched, the annals of vice and crime"
 The French system of courtship and marriage is largely responsible for this abnormal absence of wholesome, pure romance.
 We must remember that there are no remarkable marriages in France. very little that falls under the head of love making, and nothing whatevevr that answers to German schwarmrei, an intensive expression of our own sen

Mark Smith and Utah.

For years it has been charged in Arizona that this territory could have been admitted to the union .when Utah was admitted, if the Hon. Mark Smith had accepted the same terms offered Utah. Never, to our Knowledge, until last night, did MT. Smith deny the charge. Nor did he make a categorical denial last night. With a heroic effort at sarcasm he dismissed the subject by stating that when Utah was admitted he was humbly Fracticing law at Tue son, and that the Hon. Nathan Oakes Murphy was the delegate from this ter Titory. But as most of Mir. Smiths elo- quence was expended in abuse of The Republican for it's "unfairness.'' and he cited the Utah story as fragrant cx- ample, the inference of every one Of MT. Smiths hearers last night was that he must be understood as entering an emphatic denial.
 Now. it is no small matter for man of MT. Smiths prominence to accuse The Republican of being unfair More over, the people cannot afford to be humbugged-by either this paper or by MT. Smith. WeiGhty issues are at stake. This is the most important cam paign in the history of the territory The existence of Arizona as a territo- rial entity hangs in the balance It Is our belief that the election of Mir. Smith would practically assure the ad- mission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state. MT. smith believes other wise. Tn the performance ,of our duty we have cited several important eventc in MT. Smiths official career to show his lack of well balanced judgment, in general proof of the error under which he is laboring in this campaign. The case of his failure to see the drift of things when Utah was admitted was cited. among others. Were 1t to be es- tabllshed that we had done MT. Smith an injustice, we should promptly apol- ogize. This paper never knowingly stoops to unfair criticism of anybody not even candidate.
 What are the facts? Did MT. Smiths memory play him 9 trick last night or was he playing trick on his audience

WHY SHE CAT STILL.

A certain gushing lady took her f. year old daughter to a photographer. The little one could not be made to sit still. The camera man was as nice and suave as he could be. called the child all the sweet, endearing names he could think of, while using every de- vice of gentle persuasion 10 make the little wiggler keep still. Finally he turned to the desPairing mother and said:
 Madam. if you will leave your dar- ling with me for few moments, I think I can succeed in taking her lovely face to perfection"
 The mother withdrew for a short time. Soon the photographer sum moned her ard exhibited a highly sat isfactory negative. When they reached home the mother asked:
 Nellie, what did that nice gentleman say to you when I left you alone with hirn?"
 Well he thaid." lisped Nellie, If you don't thit sthul you ugly, squint- eyed monkey, I'll thake the life out of your trembling carcath.' Then that very sthIll, mamma! New York Tribune.

ltimentality to be fantasque: that is to say, tc have romantic, unconventional notions is term o severe reproach. woe be to that Frenchwoman who in- CUTS it!
 Tradition. bringing up, material in- terests. are all opposed to the freedom which renders English girlhood a pro- life theme for the novelist. No young French lady ever enjoys an innocent Irritation, much less a harmless esca- pade. Nor must she vicariously enjoy them on paper till she has entered into the partnership of marriage.
 Again, the domestic circle in France | is essentially that, and very rarely any thing more. The vast majority of middle class folk spend their entire lives within su2h circumscribed limits in nowise affected by extraneous in fuences."
 Miss Betham- Edwards says that in twenty-five years experience of French domestic life she can recall only two incidents which a novelist could have turned to good account. The first was an affair involving family honor and good repute, several households being brought low by the malversations of one member. The second was a case of mistaken identity that very nearly proved as tragic. All of which leads her to conclude; French home life is unsuitable for romance. Domestic existence flows as evenly as the streams lbeautifying the landscape, all kinds of sweet and pleasant objects reflected in their waves, but one mile very much resembling another, from source to dis enlargement little in the way of di- versity or surprise"

UNPUNcTUAL SEX.

Which is the punctual. or at least unpunctual sex? 4 correspondent of the London Chronicle, who has been making studies in the portico of the Royal Academy, arrives at very certain conclusions, and he has given us the benefit of them. The two benlches that flank the door are filed each morning at an even hour. such as II, with ladies who have arrived any time during the preceding fifteen minutes. Their pd . tient eyes are fixed on Pacadilly. For ten minutes nothing occurs Then one by one men arrive, and the awaiting woman rises with cheerful alacrity to join her dilatory lord. She offers no reproaches and he makes no apologies. We are both punctuaI' is the frs: mans complacent exclamation to the woman, who came a quarter of an hour early, and smiles, not in irony, but in pleasure. that her thirty minutes of monotony is relieved by the assured presence of her expected man. The last laggard to arrive is half an hour late. 'I thought it better to give you a little grace" he says, benevoIently. And she murmurs, Thanks"

when he launched into a sarcastic de- nial of the Utah matter? T was a private citizen, practicing law in Tue son." he said half plaintively. and my friend Oakes Murphy was in congress when Utah was admitted. Can't you see, my dear friends. my beloved friends, how unfair The Republican is to me? Please pause, my beloved, while I shed the following tear." CThunder- ous applause)
 Here is the cold record, in the black and white of unimpeachable history. Mark Smith was elected to congress in November, 1892. He took his seat on the fourth day of March. 1893. His term expired on the third day of March, 1895. The enabling act admitting the territory of Utah was passed in 1se4, 1 by the congress of which Mark Smith was a member! The constitution was formed on the sixth day of March, 1895, only two days after Mark Smith had retired to that Tucson law practice. The constitution was adopted in the following November, and the state was admitted by proclamation of the presl- dent on the fourth day of January. 1896.
 Technically, therefore, Smith was correct last night. Utah was finally admitted" after he had retired from office. But what pettifogging is thisl It is worthy of a police court lawyer. and is insulting to intelligent people.
 So far as congress was concerned. the admission of Utah was disposed of before MT. Smiths term expired All the Iogroning, all the negotiations everything connected with the passage af the bnl-was thing Of history when NIT. Smith packed his grip and re- turned to that Tucson law practice in which he attempted to take refuge last night.
 Why did he refuse to dehy the story itself? Did he or did he not refuse to accept the terms offered Utah? Did his stubbonness and lack of horse sense deprive Arizona of seat in the union when Utah was admitted?
 The RepaHIican did not originate the charges, and never until last night, it seems, did MT. Smith enter a denial. Did he refuse to accept the terms of fered Utah, and did he, on the other hand, insist that Arizona must be ad- mitted With it's ready-made free-siIver constitution or not at all? Whenever MT. Smiths anger at the rising tide for Fowler leads him to make a specific denial possibly The Republican will be on hand next day with some testimony on the subject
Arizona republican., 1904-10-04

The anger and Petulance manifested by Mark Smith every time he mentions B. A. Fowler's candidacy for congress merely confirms the belief generally prevalent in Arizona-namely. that MT. Smith considers that congressional job as his personal property.

Ministers and Trades.

One cannot question the practical
good sense of the advice given to can
didates for the ministry by prominent
Philadelphia clergyman in urging them
to learn some trade either before or
after their ordination He has exam
ined the statistics of the various Prot
estant denominations and has been ap-
palled by the number Of ministers who
are without a charge He thinks that
q trade would be good thing TO fall
back on in such cases. besides standing
the minister in good stead III many
ways while still in the pulpit.
The advice is applicable to men en-
tering almost any OF the learned pro-
fessions, but particularly so to clergy
men. who run greater risks apparently
than any class of professionals of being
laid off, from their regular line Of
work. Most of the large denomina-
tons have a fund to provide for their
superannuated clergy, but the stipends
awarded are usually too meager to do
more than pay for the barest uecessi-
ties of life-Leslie's Weekly.
