STORY SAVES SPEECH.
How Congressman Cochran Keeps His
 Colleagues Attention.

The easiest way to secure listeners to any speech is by introducing a story. When certain men get on their feet their is an immediate pricking of ears. Less humorous men impress anecdotes as they do arguments.
 If the anecdote has in 1t the word damn" they are sure of their prey for it is an established fact that this simple oath is the most humorous word in the English language, and will carry the most innocuous joke. Cochran of Missouri :s not a funny man, but he floats a speech handsomely with some stories. Here is one of them.
 "A constituent was going to take the boat for New Orleans. While waiting for it he took walk on the bluff above. There admiring the beauty of the scenery, the majesty of the waters, his heart swelling with joy in his native land, he suddenly saw the boat push ing out below. Turning, he sprinted down to the bank at a pace which made the republic of Panama look like thirty cents. Talk colliding with a portly passenger, he knocked him across the deck. Hasten- ing to apologize, he pleaded the ex- agencies of the case. But the prostrate man. struggling to his feet, said:
 You damphool. This boat is com ing in"

HER PENNIES FREED HIM.
A Three-Year- Girl Gave Bail for
 Her Father.

A little three-year-ol girl secured the temporary release of her father in police court. The father was Theo- dore Mitchell, who was held on the charge of petit larceny, says the Cleve- land Plain-Dealer.
 As the case was called a little girl walked through the gate and inquired of the court officers for papa" When the charge was being read she heard her fathers name and turning, saw him standing before the clerks desk.
 "Oh, papa, I've come to get you out" |" she cried, and she ran to his side and took hold of his hands. Mitchell pick ed his child up in his arms and kissed her.
 Mamma and daughter are here and want to see you," she said. Don't you want to see them?" The father said he was afraid the judge would not let them.
 Where is the judge?" inquired little Annie, and, seeing Judge Fiedler, beg ged him to allow her mother and fa- ther to see each other for a few min utes. The permission was granted and the mother. carrying a 6-months old child in her arms, walked to the desk. The father took the babe in his arms

COAL FIELD DEVELOPMENT.

The D. c. company is making good progress at their new location in the Molder coal fields. A cut has been made at a point about 800 yards from the original discovery, and the point where the first development was done, and several good samples have been encountered. One vein of about a foot wide came in at distance of fourteen feet from the mouth of the cut, and dipped down so that the development work is really in the form of an in clined shaft. Two different samples of good looking coal have been received; one from the regular vein and the other from the hanging wall. This seems to be the best location in the field, and the results of the work will be awaited with much interest by all the claim owners, and, in fact, by every one in the district.-El Obrero.

AULD BRIG OF AYR UNSAFE.
Structure lmmortaized by Burns Con
 demned by Town Council.

Condemned as unsafe by the town councils orders, barricades have been erected at each end of the "auld brig (bridge) O Ayr made world famous by Scotland's bard, that venturesome citizens may no longer risk their lives by attempting to cross the stream on its crazy back. Thus is humbled the pride of the ancient structure which in Burns "Twa Brigs' addresses this boast to its then modern rival:
 Conceited gouk! Puf'd up wi
 windy pridei
 This mony a year I've stood the
 flood and tide;
 And tho wi crazy elid I'm sair
 forfairn,
 I'll be brig when we're a shapeless
 cairnl
 According to the response which the new brig" made to this, the "auld brig must have been in bad shape even in the poets time:
 Auld Wanda, ye but show your little
 mense.
 Just much about it wi your scanty
 sense;
 Will your poor, narrow footpath of a
 street.
 " Heit lNd NEGOTIATIONS IrenDle
 when they meet.
 Your ruined, formless bulk O stane
 and lime,
 Compare wit bonnie Brigs O modern
 timei
 This 'auld brig" is said to have been built in the reign of King Alexander III of Scotland. 600 years ago, by two mai den sisters, whose efflgies were carved on the eastern parapet. The new brigg" was built in 17SS and had to be rebuilt less than a century later which shows that the "auld brigs" vaunt was not so far wide of the mark after all. Not long will the ancient veteran have to endure its present humiliation. The town council has decided to expend S25,OOO in repairing it, and, as every thing on which Burns has shed the lus- ter of his genius is sacred in Scotch eyes, it may safely be assumed that the work will be done in such fashion as will preserve as far as possible the original form.

CLIFTON MoRENcI.M MINING BU-
 REAU.

For many years past the business men and miners of the Clifton-Morenci district have realized the importance of nate the mining news of the district Local newspapers have accomplished much, but more is needed. With the end in view of forming a permanent bureau of information, John Molder, one of the most untiriDg workers in the district was instrumental in having a meeting called two weeks ago, at which committees were appointed and an ad- journment taken until Saturday night last, at which time an enthusiastic meeting was held at Library hall.
 Chairman Cobb of the finance com- mittee reported that eighty members had signed the list agreeing to contrib ute $6 per year, and that many more signatures could tte had. The finance committee met with so much encour- agement that those present concluded to form a permanent association. J.. R. Hampton was elected president: w. A. Leonard, vice-president; Editor Valjean, secretary, and A. G. Smith, treasurer The Clifton Morenci Mining Bureau was selected for the name of the association. An adjournment was then taken until Tuesday evening, May r.
 permanent office will be opened by the association, and weekly letters on the development and resources of the district furnished to all mining jour- nals in the United States.

WHERE THERE'D BE NO IRISH.
Hibernian Suggestion to Women Who
 Would Avoid Them.

A woman sat in a street car in a Ca nadian town one day, when the car stopped at 9 crossing and another wo- man got in and sat beside the first wo- man, saying: Well, well, Mrs. Flew close, wherever have you been all sum- mer?"
 "Oh, we were at the lake"
 'So were we-at Grand Bend"
 We were at Port Stanley" said the woman who had opened the oratorical contest.
 Have a nice time?"
 Well, not exactly. There's so many Irish there" she added, with a weary look, but without so much as a glance about the car.
 Same way at the eBnd-Irish, Irish everywhere"
 A stout lady under a gren hat that turned up behind sat in the seat imme- diately in front of the elocutionists. The stout lady turned and sized them up, but by this time they were dead to the world.
 As the car rattled on they talked of everything and most everybody, and finally fetched up at the summer re- sorts with Irish for dessert.
 By this time there was Irish stew in the front seat.
 The stout person under the pea green hat turned and shone on them. La dies" she began, Fave me give veg a bit uv Idv:t e-the nixt time ye git d holiday, yeZ peter spend it in he'll there'll be no Irish there"

 Gibson &Gibson continue sending ore to the Old Dominion smelter, and have delivered to date considerably over 200 tons of as fine ore as was ever seen in the district, or anywhere else. The ore is coming from the drift on the 200-foot level, above which there Is large stoping ground.
 w. F. Westbrook of Pinto creek, who was in town Monday informed us that he had made a deal whereby a company of local men Of means will take charge of the Williams & Westbrook property, lat the head of Mineral and Pinto creeks. and near the Gibson mine. The plan is to develop along the course of the vein. A tunnel 161 feet long, open ed by MT. Westbrook is in sulphidc ore, but this, although of good size, is not the main vein.

free milling In a softer material it would we'll pay to mill, but at present there is more profit in using the rock for paving than having it smeltcd fir gold. The particular basaltic rock of Valmont and in fact of Colorado. for it is found in large quantities all over the state. is so hard that it will stand pressure of 29,0O0 pouns to the square inch. The hardest granite will resist but 10000.
 There are millions of tons of the gold filled rock in the butte at Val mont. It requires 15,n0O tons, or o. 900, 900 pounds of the material to pave twenty seven blocks. The paving is done in three layers. After the ground is rolled, layer of rock that has been screened to a two to three-inc size is laid for a depth of three or four inches. Then a layer of pea size rock is spread and rolled down. Then comes the third layer of rock ground to an inch or little more in size. The final layer before the last rolling is done is the finest size used. This gold-filled rock grows more valuable as a street covering as the years go by. Eigh- teenth avenue and South Fourteenth street are in better shape than when first paved. In ten years they will be still better. That is because of the ce- menting qualities of the material. Where at first the street was as though covered with gravel. it has now solid mass of rock covering growing con stantly smoother. Whether or not the gold, earth's richest metal has any thing to do with the real value of the rock has not yet been demonstrated.

DON'T WAKE UP EARLY.

To be suddenly awakened from sound sleep sends great rush of blood to the heart, thus overtaxing and strain ing 1t. People whose business necessi- tates their being awakened early have long suppected the practice of being an evil one and have tried to rid them selves of it. But heretofore they have had no better reason for wishing to continue to lie in bed than that they found it inconvenient or unpleasant to rise early. Evidently they have right on their side. It is an unhygienic practice this being walked up at un- earthly hours in the dusk of the early morning. It is bad for the heart.

 AS the case was continued the ques- tion of bail came up. Annie overheard the conversation and came running back, holding a little red leather purse. Here, papa, will give you the mon- ey," She opened the purse and count ed out the pennies. How much will it be-" she inquired, and counted out ten pennies. The father took her in his arms again. kissed her, and then putting her down gave her some more pennies and told her to run back to her mother.
 But the plea of the child had it's ef- feet. The police officers and prosecu- tors decided that the man could go on his own bond until the case came up for a hearing. So Mitchell joined his happy family and left the court room.

INVITATION FROM H. GOODMAN.
Leading Phoenix Druggist Urges You . to Try Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure
 for Catarrh.

Leading Phoenix Druggist Urges You to Try Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure
 for Catarrh.
 Any reader of The Republican who suffers with catarrh, or who is subject to catarrhal colds, is invited to H. Goodman's store for a complete Fly omei outfit on approval. So confident is he that Hyomei will cure the worst and most deep-seated case of catarrh that he will furnish a full months treatment of Hyomei on trial.
 While it would be unreasonable to expect a chronic case of catarrh, which has been growing worse for years. could be cured within a month, yet he feels sure that the thirty days treat ment will convince the user that Hyomei is infallible in driving catarrhal poison from the system. There is no danger ous stomach drugging when Hyomei IS used. Simply breathe its healing ball. sams through the neat inhaler that comes with every outfit. and the germ killing and health-g giving air will pene- trate to the most remote cells in the air passages of the head, throat and lungs, and drive catarrhal poison from the system. Nothing else will so quick " cure d COiu III lllt Hedu OT stop an ordinary cough.
 Singers and public speakers will find Eyomci invaluable. It strengthens the voice and gives it a rich, clear tone. Catarrhal deafness is cured when Hy- omei and the special Hyomei palms are used.
 The complete outfit costs only one dollar, and if, after using. you can say that it did not help you H. Goodman will return your money.
