woMANs PROPER CALLING.

An English writer has discovered that horticulture is the only proper calling for a woman to pursue. It is
 impossible, he asserts, for the average
 woman to pass an examination that
 We men call stiff without doing her self serious harm, both physically and mentally, though she may come through a winter. And it is just as impossible for her to adopt any pro fession that requires much study and whole weeks, months. yea. and years. to be spent in an office without be- coming sooner or later as mad as the proverbial March hare. or. at the least. without altering her figure greatly for the worse. But in digging, planting and sowing she paints roses on her cheeks, rounds her limbs an1 brigntens her eyes. The prettiest wo- men this writer has ever seen. as well as the strongest, metally and phys.- cally. were found among those few British women who spend their lives in the open air. while the plainest faces and clUmsiest figures were ob- served among actresses The conclu- sion is that those women who must work for their own support should dnd employment in agricultural and horticultural pursuits, for the AL mighty placed women on this earth 10

Fir. Joseph T. Breneman of Lancaster
 Pennsylvania.

Mir. Jos. T. Breneman of Laneaster, company arrived in the city yesterday on the special train from the north which brought Mir A. Fowler and President F. M Murphy. MT. Brene- man spent the afternoon here and will return with MT. Murphy to Prescott this morning.
 Mir. Breneman arrived at Prescott last Wednesday night in a tour of the coast He had frequently been in northern California but he had never visited the southwest. He came here at the suggestion of President John Hertzler of the Lancaster Trust com pany who informed him that he would be amply repaid. He has been so de- lighted with what he has seen that he wrote MT. Hertzler from Congress last Friday that it was with difficulty that he could bring his journey through the territory to an end. He believes that better opportunities are offered here than can be found in southern Califor- mia where to him it appears that the prosperity of which so much is heard Is only apparent and artificial
 Several of the members of the Lan- caster Trust company are interested in many of the enterprises of the De veIopment Company of America. Mr. Breneman himself and for the mem hers Of his family is so interested. ~ He will return to Phoenix next Tues day morning on his way to Tombstone and possibly to the Imperial mines.

INDIVIDUALITY IN DRESS.

It is just this. after serving as a covering that clothes are supposed to dO-enhance feminine charms. There was a time when fashions decrees were more arbitrary than they are now. Then one general style clothed the multitude. big and little. fat and lean, long and short. Since woman kind tasted of broadened independence there has been a marked growth of ln- dividuality in dress. and the end is not yet.

The Democratic Ticket.

One of the most exciting and turbulent
of Democratic national conventions a
ST. Louis last week nominated Judge
Alton B. Parker of New York for presi
dent and Ex-senator Henry G.. Davis OF
West Virginia for vice-president. AL
though a majority of the delegates were
of the conservative wing of the party,
opposed to Organism and in favor of q
return 10 original Democratic principles,
William j. Bryan had force and follow
ing enough so that, though he could not
secure re-atfirmatiOn of the platform on
which be was defeated. he did succeed,
after an all-night session of the COM
mittee on resolutions, in having the
financial plank entirely omitted from the
platform.
The great sensation of the convention
was when, after the nomination of Judge
Parker, a telegram was received from
him stating that he regarded the gold
standard as irrevocably established, and
should act accordingly if elected. 1t
looked for a time as if the convention
might even reScind its vote placing him
in nomination, but after session eX-
tending into the small hours of Sunday
morning, Bryan and his followers sur
rendered in the interest of harmony. 1t
can hardly be said, however, that the
Bryan wing of the party is pacified or
satisfied
Aside from the conspicuous omission
of financial plank. the platform con-
tains nothing specially striking, cOnsid-
cradle of it being criticism of the Re-
publican administration.

Station Agent Hayes went fishing last

laid his rod on the boat when something
grabbed the hook and dragged his six

During the first six months of this
year the receipts of the state from the
organization of new corporations and
the fees received for increase of capital
stock of existing corporations fell off
S24, S97. so from the total receipts for the
first half of 1908. The receipts to the
first day of July, 1904, were as follows:
Organization of new corporations, $751;
977.50; increase in capital stock S3,055.
The figures for 1908 were as follows:
New corporations, $4,000; increase in
capital stock, $3.50. The change in
the Massachusetts, law has diverted
some business which Maine received last
year, but it is believed that the great de-
crease has been caused by the slump in
several of the largely over-capitalized
trusts,
