What Might Happen.

So in reality there are only fourteen
Republicans whose majorities were less
than 1000. and in whose districts the
Democrats have a chance Of winning
There are, however, three Republicans
who We're elected by reason of the fact
that the opposition to them was di-
vided-Messrs. Often and Stafford Of
Milwaukee, where the Socialist vote Is
large, and Representative Dixon Of
Montana. where the Democrats We're di-
vided. II frequently happens that one
party or the other is able to overturn
maiorities of several thousand. and this
the Democrats will he obliged to do in
a number Of Instances if they win the
House.
The fourteen Republicans who have
majorities OF less than 1000 are Messrs.
Brooks Of Colorado. $50; Lorimer Of Ill
nois. $50; Wachter Of Maryland, 1S3;

St. Patrick's Lie.

Each year new data is given relative
10 the life of st. Patrick. and the deeds
he accomplished in Ireland Many of
these have been so exaggerated that
they have become not only ridiculous
10 intelligent people. but misleading to
those who cannot understand them 10 be
the weaving of imaginative minds All
sorts Of theories have been advanced as
to his methods Of driving the snakes
out Of Ireland and other miraculous
deeds
st. Patrick.s greatest achievement and
The one which made him the patron
saint Of Ireland was his conversion of
IL people from paganism 10 Christian
.ty. The whole country was buried In
idOlatry. The sun. moon. and stars
were their gods, they We're held In awe
by magicians and the Druid priests, and
fierce tribes inhabited the country.
The conversion Of the princes and
their families was first accomplished by
St Patrick. and the common people
quickly followed the example until
churches were established and Chris
tienity ruled where before all was ig-

May Have Been Welsh.

St. PatriclK's nationality has never
been satisfactorily established, neither
has mis- age, although prominent his
torians have said the saint was 40
years old at the time Of his death This
figure was the result Of much COMPARE
son OF dates, alleged to have been accu-
rate and Of the saints association with
other Christian workers Of more defin-
ite age.
Some claim that ST. Patrick was born.
baptized, and died on a Wednesday, but
that. with various other assertions con-
corning the patron OF Ireland, has never
been proved.
II IS generally believed that St. Pat
rick was born at a place called Mem
thur. Historical writer's Of Scotland de
clare that this place was in northern
Britain. and that its probable location
Is near the present town Of Glasgow.
Other places which are claimed as the
saints FIRST home are Bristol in Eng
land, South Britain, near BOulOgne. and
still others say the saint was OF Welsh
birth The last probable is an assertion
that the saint was of Jewish descent.
and that his ancestors lived I'm America
However numerous these statements
may be. the fact still remains that to
st. Patrick was given the conversion Of
a country so stepped In pagan customs
that Us emancipation seemed not Ouly
remote, but impossible.

Arizona delegates to the national convention at Chicago have taken their departures for the windy city where, upon July 2l one of the larg- est, but at the same time shortest, conventions will be convened and nominate Theodore Roosevelt to sue ceed himself as chief magistrate over the greatest nation of people on the globe. So many delegates, with such an unarimity of purpose, will never have assembled before-to voice the sentiment and carry out the desires of the majority of the people of the re- public. There will be no friction there in the selection of a leader; President Roosevelt's indorsement for second term is general, as his handling of public affairs would merit. His nom- ination by exclamation will be an evil dence that the American people are not lacking of gratitude, of which commensurate appreciation of integ- rity of purpose and loyalty to duty will, and can, only be evidenced at the polls next November.

c. c. Warner, assistant mine su- perintendent for the Copper Queen company, at Bisbee, met his death last Monday afternoon while descend ing the shaft. Deceased was one of the early pioneers of Cochise county, having arrived in Tombstone in 1879. Mir. Warner served in the Arizona legislature four years ago as council man from Cochise. He was Mason of high standing, having reached the Thirty-second degree, was Knight Templar and Shriner; he was also a member of the Elks and the Work men. Charlie" Warner was we'll and favorably known all over Ari- zona, and the news of his untimely demise will cause pang of sorrow by all who were fortunate of his ac- quaintance. In his death Arizona loses a good citizen, a family is be- reft of loving husband, and the public is called upon to mourn the passing of anexemplary citizen. Peace to his ashes.

IL Is Up to the Doctor.

A lady wrote us from Winchester, Va., that she had been under the doc- tors care for four years for dyspepsia, the pain appeared to center under the left shoulder blade, was so severe at times that she could neither eat nor sleep. She had lost faith in her home doctor, and ask us to send her sample of Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills, which had been recommended to her. We sent her two pills, in a few days she sent for box. Now she writes that the pain under her shoulder has left her entirely, she enjoys her meals and never sleeps less than eight hours every night, and this has all come about in two weeks, and cost her 50 cts. for two boxes of pills. Says the doc tor charged her S50.00 and that she told him he had better take the 5000 and invest it all in Dr. Gunn's Inn proved Liver Pills and build up his practice. Sold by druggists for 25c per box. Anyone having dyspepsia, bilious spells or sich-headache can get speedy cure by the use of these pills. For sale by the Cover Drug Co.

Charleston, the discoverer of the ledge that made Gleeson, the pros porous mining camp in the Dragons, is now penniless and charge upon the charity of Cochise county. He is an inmate of the county hospital, nearly within sight of his wonderful discovery. He is aged and decrepit, but those who are reaping the harvest of the old prospector's exertions are oblivious to his needs. Others who have blazed trails and opened up em- pires have suffered the same fate, but that fact does not right the wrong.

Starting "Run" on Bank,

While woman was waiting to de- posit five dollars in a New England savings bank she saw a man draw out $900. She had never before seen so much money at once, and concluded that the bank could not stand such a heavy drain on it's resources. She told her friends about it, and the news spread that the bank was in danger A run" followed, and the depositors were not satisfied that the bank was sound until between ten and twenty thousand dollars had been withdrawn. The men who read this paragraph need not say that the thing would not have happened if it had not been for silly woman. Full-grown men, with years of business experience, do just as silly things when they get frightened about losing their money.-Youth's Compant | ion

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of Its
 Restrictions.

What is it, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely? :? It is, 1 believe, that he feels himself in country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected. to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position;
 where he is handicapped in all eases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, "good form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society, comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which ,t1fects the American air like a sting and challenge, and braces every Amer1- can with =. inspiration that he has chance in lit; that there are open op- portunities, unreserved possibilities, no battering at locKed doors, no tioun- dering in blank alleys, that here, ln short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing it.
