Faith and Fact.

Faith is one thing and fact is another, it sometimes takes any amount of faith to produce one fact. Years of earnest work and faith have produced one fact about medi- cine that is deserving of mention here. If people who are troubled with general weakness through overwork, dissipation or exposure can get remedy that will make rich red blood from the food they eat, their return to health is as- sured. Good blood is the life of the body as we'll as the nerves. Weak, sickly, pale people who suffer with indigestion, dyspepsia, sick head ache, loss of strength and ambition, having dizzy spells and always tired, can be cured sound and we'll with Dr. Gunn's Blood and Nerve Tonic. Sold by druggists for 75c. per box, or 3 boxes for $2. This Tonic acts in a common sense way, curing disease by giving strength to resist it.

He spent the, summer at the Worlds fair and the Atlantic watering places, lead ing butterfly life and having a good time generally. He visited Tonopah and the Goldfelds of Ne vada on his return, and while he says the camps have great future, he thinks it would be advisable for men of limited means to avoid that section for year or two, until the mines have been developed suffi- ciently to employ more men than are now at work there. He says that most of the men who are going in there are broke, and are experi- encing very hard times.-Copper Era.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Annual Convention tO Be Held at
 Flagstaff, Dec. 29-3l.

To County Surerintendents, Teach
 CTS and Others Interested in
 Education:
 The thirteenth annual conven- tion of the Arizona Teachers Asso- citation will be held in the city of Flagstaff on December 29, 30 and 31, 1904. It is hoped that every progressive teacher in the territory will improve of the opportunity of attending this meeting. A most excellent program has been pre- pared for the occasion and will be published in due time. Among the participants in the program will be the foremost educators from the university, including President Bab- cock, the two normal schools, and the leading city superintendents and high school principals from every section of Arizona. Boards of trustees should and do expect their teachers to attend these an nual gatherings and thus reap the rich harvest that they may instill better thoughts and higher ideals into the youthful minds under their charge.
 We live in a versatile age; it is an electrical era, one of rapid changes We find this muta ability in commerce, in industry, finance, and in politics. The party cry in one presidential campaign is rele gated to innocuous desuetude in the next. Nor is this mecurial ele- ment wanting in the social world. Membership in the four hundred IS by no means permanent. When the zenith is attained the down. ward descent Is inevitable The laborer is dissatisfied with his wages, the employer with his prof it's. Even the school children strike because they want more time for play and handsomer teachers.
 The spirit, of unrest has right fully invaded the field of educa- ton. Formerly the greatest cen sors of the public schools were out side of them; now their severest critics are the teachers themselves. The civil engineer constructs a new bridge across the stream in place of the old one without causing the trains to stop for single day. It has yet to be learned whether the old bridges over the gulf of ignor- ance can be replaced with equal skill, so that there may be no delay to those crossing over to the land of intelligence. Fellow teacher, can you learn to construct this bridge by remaining at home?
 1 trust that every teacher and county superintendent in the terri tory will make an earnest effort to attend this gathering, and try to induce others to do so. In this way we can make it the most success ful gathering that has ever assem- bled for educational purposes in Arizona. Very respectfully.

HIS THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
BY ". H. WALKER,

BY W. H. WALKER. Last night there was a rafle For turkeys in the town, Thanksgiving day is almost here So I just strolled around. John Jones, the boss, he ran the game, Satori turned the wheel, John Thomas, the black porter man, He made an awful spiel "Turkeys juicy, turkeys fat, Turkeys big and strong; 'Take chance, you're bound to win" He fairly sang q song I bought q chance, as others did, And thought I'd surely win; But when the wheel had ceased to turn, The whole house yelled--"Gee Jim" "Gee Jim, he won," Satori said Come, take another chance;" And when you did paddle take, You paid him in advance. Another chance thought to take, This time, sure would win; But when the wheel had ceased to turn, Again they yelled-"Gee Jim" What luck. said l, never saw, Two turkeys Jim has won; And now I'll try my luck again, For want only one Again the wheel went buzzing round; Oh! gollyl it did spin; And when the wheel had ceased to turn, Again they yelled, Gee Jim." No use, cried, cannot win, never won a bet; And then I strolled across the room To see Gim play roulette. This same Gee Jim, who the turkeys won, Was winning at the wheel; No matter how the dealer threw, He won at every deal. He won the cheeks, he won the cash, This "chink' he was a fright, For every time he made bet,
 Gee Jim he won, last night.
