Governor BrOdie Gives Statehood
 Views.

Governor Alexander O. Brodie, whC accompanied his wife to Halifax, Novs Scotia, has been remaining in the eas, to attend the Republican convention at the head of the Arizona delegation was in Washington this week on brsi for the territory. He called at the White House and remained some time with tue President, discussing the needs of the territory. and was later the guest of the President as luncheon.
 A special dispatch to the Times quotes Governor Brodie as saying:
 'The people of Arizona, Democrats and Republicans, are opposed to joint statehood with New Mexico" said the governor" The fact is, we would rather de without statehood for a good many years to come than be forced into an alliance We do not wish or de sire We feel that we are entitled to statehood just as we stand, but we hope congress will not give it to us now if New Mexico is to be added and both admitted under one name. There is no question that by long odds a majority of the people feel this way"
 Governor Brodie went on to say that Arizona was prosperous depite one of the worst droughts known in years.
 ''SInce 1 have been east" he said, 'I believe it has rained every day, while we have no rain in Arizona for many months and need moisture badly. Much damage will result If we do not get more rain"
 Governor Brodie did not go into ex- plantations as to the reasons why Ariz- ona does not want statehood with New Mexico, except to say their interests are by no means the same. The ob- jection in both Arizona and New Mexico, however, IS based on the fact that no state should be absolutely controlled by New Mexicans-that is, Mexicans who have become citizens of this country directly or through des- cehI sihce ehe IeiiilorE Pdsseu hoin Mexico to tLe United States. This class of people is considerably in a majority in New Mexico, and together with the vote of the same class in Arizona would easily dominste the new state. Native Americans sharp ly object to this, and it is their main reason for opposing the consolidation of the two territories"

Arizona at the Worlds Fair.

w. B. Kelley, editor of the Bisbee Review, writing to that paper from
 St. Louis, agrees with TIE BORDER
 VIDErTE's correspondent. As to Ariz-
 ona's showing at the Exposition,
 he says.
 'I have just visited the Arizona building at the Louisiana Purchase | Exposition. From the accounts l have read in some of the Arizona
 newspapers prior to my departure from the Territory, l expected to be sadly
 disappointed. if not ashamed of the structure On the contrary, l was agreeably surprised, not as to the size of the building, for it is truly small, but for convenience and comfort 1t is all that is necessary, and the economy and good taste displayed by the com missioners Is deserving of commend ation, instead of abuse. that has been heaped upon them in some quarters.
 'sThe Arizona building is not an ex- hioit at the Fair and was never in tended as such. It is a home for visit ing Arizonans; place to meet mutual friends and rest. The building, com pleted, consisting of seven rooms. cost the commissioners in the neighborhood of S4 ,00O and Is furnished neatly and costly, but not extravagantly. The idea of the commissioners was not to spend the entire appropriation. which i'll the beginning was only $50 O6O, on an Arizona building, but to erect one headquarters for Arizona people, and to expend the major portion of the ap- priation in displaying Arizona's re sources in the several exhibit buildings and in this they have succeeded ad- mirably. In the Agricultural, Hort icuItural, Educational and Mining building. -Arizons is we'll represented, and especially the mining space has been used to great advantage.
 "The Arizona building Is situated in a choice location, and is the first bui:d- ing on the right of Market street and Laclede car entrance. It Is one story affair, after the mission style, with a front porch, A main hall or lobby, and seven rooms. A reception room for the ladies, gentlemen's re ception room, smoking and buffet room, commissioners room and two living rooms
 ''At present the building IS occupied by Miss Dawes of Prescott, and Mrs. John A. Black of Tucson. These ladies take a delight in entertaining all callers, and the register shows that there has been no dearth of visitors. The building was informally opened on May 30. Arizona visitors so far have been scarce, and Arizona day at the Fair has been set dow n for Septem- Der 10, at which was time Governor Brodie and staff are expected to be present.
 "Bob Leatherwood and H. A. Doan, two of Arizonas commissioners, are here, and are very busy men. They i are still engaged in arranging and | adding to the several exhibits, but | have about completed their efforts in this direction.
 "Mrs- Aguirre of Tucson, one of the l lady commissioners, has been i'll almost l constantly since her arrival here, and i may return home. She has been un- i able to visit the Arizona building.

VALUE OF A SUNNY SOUL.

The world is too full of sadness and
sorrow, misery and sickness; it needs
more sunshine; it needs cheerful lives
which radiate gladness; it needs en-
couragers who will lift and not bear
down, who will encourage, not dis
courage.
Who can estimate the value Of a
sunny soul who scatters gladness and
good cheer wherever he goes, instead
of gloom and sadness? Everybody is
attracted to these cheerful faces and
sunny lives, and repealed by the
gloomy, the morose and the sad. We
envy people who radiate cheer wher-
ever they go and fling out gladness
from every pore. Money, houses and
lands look contemplate beside such
a disposition. The ability to radiate
sunshine is a greater power than
beauty, or than mere mental accom-
ishments.-Success.

the sharpening process.

Real Meanlno Of aBoodle."

Late American dictionaries acknowl-
edge doodle" as word. Dr. Murray
quotes from an American paper of
1884: "'Sinews of war; soap and
other synonyms for. campaign Doodle
are familiar" There, however,
Doodle is explained as meaning only
"stock-in-trade," kinship with the
Dutch "boedel," a mans stock OF bust
ness or household goods, being highly
probable. Perhaps Doodle" meaning
a crowd or pack, as in the phrase, "the
whole Doodle Tor caboodle) of Them"
is the same word. In that sense bud

century. No doubt 1t is only coinci-
dence that there Is an old Scotch word
'boddle" or "bodle," meaning a two
penny piece, and derived from the
name of the mint-master Boutwell,.

WOMEN AND WORK.

The census returns of the United
States show very clearly that women
are pressing forward more and more
into professions and positions former
ly held by men, and this in our opin-
ion Is an excellent sign, although in
some branches of labor there is an
cutlery against this usurpation of what
is termed mans prerogative. What
women more particularly require is a
training from an early age which will
enable them to take their own part In
the battle of life when through the
death Of those on whom they were de-
pendent, or through misfortune, it be-
comes incumbent on them to provide
for themselves. This early training is
matter which does not appear to
receive the attention and considera-
ton that it ought, for how many wom-
en- are there who can, for example,
compute interest intelligently and ac-
curately; how many are there who are
capable of managing their own af-
fairs, or their own property, If they
have any, with anything like business
capacity? The education of woman
is not complete unless she has as part
of her equipment a knowledge of at
least the rudiments of business. Won
en- who are blessed with a fair share
of worldly goods need this knowledge
hardly less than those who have to
make their own way in the world, and
who have not the protection and
guardianship of husband and father,
for such women can never be sure
that they may not at any moment be
celled upon to earn their own liveli-
hood.-How to Live

Turkish Ladies' Are Smokers.

Ladies OF the highest rank in Tur-
key are often inveterate smokers.
The habit is very ancient one and
Is so general that the woman who
does not smoke is the exception. The
tobacco is usually taken with the pipe
of native design. Every woman has
her own pipe and many Of these are
valuable. being decorated with elabo-
rate carvings. A Turkish lady-that is
to say, one who is not hampered with
household cares-will usually spend
many hours each day over her pipe.
The cigarette is also smoked by Turk
ish ladies in enormous quantities.

oRAToRY IN THE CAMPAIGN.

things without a great number of

THE "THIRTEEN" SUPERSTITION.

Col. John McElroy, an adept in war
statistics, contributes figures to show
that the SILLY superstition" attach
ing to the number thirteen finds no
justification in the records of the civil
war. 1T is in evidence just now In
the tiresome clatter about the repub-
lican convention being the thirteenth
in the history of the organization"
The war records show, according to
Col. McElroy's curious deductions,
that the total loss of the thirty-one
regiments and batteries bearing the
designation thirteen was 5,504, that
of the same number of regiments and
batteries numbered twelve was 6,775,
while that Of those numbered fourteen
was 7,075. Not a regiment or bat
terry bearing the number thirteen had
any special i'll luck, while most of
them escaped with small loss.-Phila

Lord Macaulay said I'VE are not

through many ages, rested from cur

process is going on quite as important
to the wealth of nations as any proc.
ess which is performed on more busy
days. Man, the machine of ma

The noise of the city is driving
thousands of people mad and shorten

It is the noise of the city that gives
the country it's chief attraction. The

How the Smoker PolIshes His Pipe

"One of the fads of the dyed in the
wool pipe smoker is to have a daz-
zling polish on his pipe, and it's curl
GUS how he puts the gloss on" said
a tobacco dealer.
watch a veteran pipe smoker
closely, and you occasionally see him
rub the bowl Of his pipe against his
face, usually on each side of his nose
That's how he puts the polish on. The
heat of the briar and the oil of the
skin against which 1t is rubbed, work
up a rich gloss. A smokers favorite
pipe, you will find, has the sheen of
rosewood, It takes months of rubbing
TO work un looking glass polish, and
the longer the practice is INDUCED in
the more shiny the pipe becomes.
don't know who originated the idea
but all old smokers are onto II. and
the pride they take in their polished
pipes is amazing"

common impulse, our intellectual lead

returned to the development of char

kentuckisn Has a Device He Thinks
viii Exterminate Pests.
Now that mosquito time is here, a
description of a newly invented mos
quito trap will be of interest. A mos
quito trap is novelty in its way, 1t
being generally understood that hu'
man ingenuity did not reach the point
of trapping this willy insect. However,
such an invention will probably soon
be placed on the market.
The trap in question is a box about
a foot square, and made of plain wire
screening, latticed like window
shutter. The merit Of the invention,
however, lies within, where there Is
small automatic music box, which,
when set in motion, makes noise
similar to that made by a person
breathing in sleep. Around this box
is a gummy substance, which is calcu-
lated to hold and poison the insect the
moment 1t lights. The invention Is
based on the theory that mosquitoes
are attracted to human beings by the
wheeling noise made when sleeping.
