Beokstsils Of Psris.

Nowhere in the world can the
bookworm practice his wriggling art
with such delight as along the Seine.
The great metal lined boxes on the
broad stone parapets are watched
over by relics of an age when that
most terrible of proverbs, Time is
money" did not mean life at 100
horsepower. The old booksellers
are book lovers, too, and they can
talk about their books as well as
sell them. Recently rumors of an
intention to abolish the quay side
bookstalls startled the city, but a
monster deputation to the prefcct
Of the Seine has saved them--for
the prcsent.-Bystander.

"a horse and buggy was got out Of

and when went away gave me hug
that I've never forgotten"
CorneIia listened to this brief mar
'rative with constantly growing inter
est. When 1t was finished her shining
eyes were fixed on John Gaunt, her
lips were parted, her breath came quick.
"What was the name of the man you
saved?' she asked.
"Harlow-william Harlow"
Miss wadsworth continued to gaze
upon John Gaunt with an expression
that, had he not been stupid fellow,
would have set his heart bounding.
"You see." he continued, that you're
right not to take a man for husband

"Jest So" said John, easily convinced
from her words that even what he had
been told by the wife of the man he
had saved was purely emotional.
"But sometimes" the girl went on.
.being good and brave even in the line
of duty counts for a great deal. The

A PICTURE OF TOKYO.

Japan consists of $500 large and
small islands, stretched out for a
distance of 1000 miles along the
Asiatic coast. 0ne-third of the food
Of the people comes from the sea
and two-thirds from the rice pad
dies. The japanese are born gar
deners, but they tend toward gro
tesque and dwarfed things. To-
kyo, the capital city, with nearly
1900, 900 inhabitants, is ten miles
square, and is more like a very
large number of little villages of
one-story houses, has no sidewalks
and abounds in foul odors and reek-
ing surface sewers and general street
garbage. One temple at Kioto is
sixty feet wide and 400 feet long,
and has 1000 images Of gods six feet
high, each with many faces and
hands. In that temple are huge
coils Of rope made of women's hair.
One rope is $50 feet long, and was
made Of the hair of $500 women
from one province, each contribut-
ing her priced hair as an offering to
the gods, to be used in ropes for
raising the structure.

Bertram Banning was evidently man

so affable n young man with so much
wealth at his command or in prospect
did not leave such unpleasant matters
to some one else.
One day Bessie was notified that she
was promoted to higher position nt

first flash of pleasure In this advance
was dashed by the suspicion that It
was intended to get her where she
could be the more easily entrapped.
She talked the matter over with her

the thief of the laces was at the bot

were at work to get positive evidence.
To find stolen goods on her clothing

HIS ONE
GOOD ACT

Everybody said that John GauntS
name fitted him admirably. not so
much that he was a thin man. but that
he was such plain one. AS for his
modesty. 1t was of the first water.
There was but one occasion when he
got the better of 1t. and that was when
he presumed to ask Cornelia Wads-
worth, girl very much younger than
he, to marry him. Her reply to his
proposition was that she would not
marry a man a quarter of a century
older than herself. Upon receiving this
reply Johns victory over his modesty
was turned into rout.
YES" he said, "I'm too old for you;
altogether too old. Besides. I'm not
such man as such a girl as you
ought to marry. You are always do
ing good, while l don't remember in
all my life having performed but one

Of Interest To Mining Men.

A bill introduced by Senator Tel Ter to amend Section 2327 of the revised statutes concerning mining lands, has passed the senate. The defect which the bill seeks to reme- dy is one which seriously affects mining claims, and is one that be- comes more potent for harm as time elapses.
 The Teller bill amends section 2327 of the revised statutes as follows:
 "The description of vein or lode claims upon surveyed lands shall designate the location of the claims with reference to lines of public survey, but need not conform there with, but where patents have been issued for claims upon unsurveyed lands, surveyors general in extend ing the public survey shall adjust same to boundaries of said patent ed claims, so as in no case to in- terfere with or change the true To- cation of such claims as they are officially established upon the ground.
 "Where patents have issued for mineral lands. these lands only shall be segregated, and shall be deemed to be patented which are bounded by lines actually marked defined and established upon the ground by monuments of the off cial survey upon which the patent grant is based, and surveyors gen. eral in executing subsequent patent surveys, whether upon surveyed or unsurveyed lands, shall be gov erned accordingly. The said mon, uments shall at all times constitute the highest authority as to what land is patented, and errors in pat ent descriptions shall give way fheretO0 0

Arizona's New Secretary.

w. F. Nichols, chairman of the republican territorial committee of Arizona, was last week appointed by President Roosevelt to be sec retary of Arizona. The nomina- tion was sent to the senate effective April 1, when Isaac T. Stoddard the present incumbent, is to be retired.
 The new secretary came to Ari- zona in 1880 and settled in Cochise county before the Southern Pacific began the construction of it's line in that section. Since that time he has been in touch with Arizona affairs. He was elected a member of the thirteenth legislature and has been a member of the republi, can central committee for a num- Der of years. Since 1902 he has been chairman of the territorial committee.
 Judge Nichols was appointed auditor first by Gov. Murphy and reappointed in 1902 by Gov. Bro- die. Gov. Brodie and the judge are known to be close personal friends and it is only natural that the governor should recommend the latter's appointment, he feeling confident that the affairs of the territory would be taken care of by Judge Nichols as secretary.
 ''The appointment comes as an agreeable surprise," said Judge Nichols, ''and I certainly appre- ciate the confidence thus placed in me. It is not necessary for me to outline policy to pursue, further than to say that 1 will do my duty as secretary the same as 1 have tried to do as auditor.

County Boundary Question.

Supervisors of Coconino county A. T. Cornish, Geo. Babbitt and Probate Judge Douglass of Flag staff and Supervisor Creswell, Divil bess and Flickinger of Navajo county held joint session the first of the week to settle the Coconino Navajo county boundary dispute says the Winslow Mail. Through the courtesy of w. R. Campbell, they used MT. Campbell's maps and office while in town and found his information regarding the land marks to be correct in every case. The supervisors made two trips to the west boundary of the county and their investigation gives Nav ajo county 1152 feet more on the west side than they thought was theirs.
 The following letter from MT. Douglass gives the exact location of the line:
 To the Board of Supervisors of Coconino and Navajo counties:
 Gentlemen:
 I have the honor to report that by astronomical observations I have determined the distance from my station in Winslow as described be- low, to the boundary between Co., conino and Navajo counties, loca- ted by Statute on the meridian no degrees and 45 minutes west of Greenwich, to be, in westerly di- rection, 8 miles and 544 feet.
 My station in Winslow consists of a cedar post standing 4 feet high near the row of Company Houses in southwest direction from the depot; 15 feet north of the outer edge of the wooden sidewalk and 3 feet west of the line of tall telegraph poles which cross the tracks ap proximately in the direction of the west side of the Navajo hotel.

Lost a Year at Ash Fork.

E. E. Ellinwood left this morn ing for brief professional trip to Flagstaff. While waiting the ar- rival of the train at the Prescott depot Mr. Ellinwood dropped into a mathematical mood, as it oc- cured to him that he would have to wait four and one half hours at Ash Fork for his train on the Santa Fe, provided it is on time, which it is not always. A wait only little more brief is necessary in coming from Ash Fork to Prescott. As Mir. Ellinwood is called by his pro- fession to frequently make these trips, or to other points east, the wait being just the same, and as result of his mathmatical calcula- tions he figured out that within the past eight or ten years he has spent one solid year at Ash Fork waiting for trains-yournal-M Miner.
