Mad as a Halter"

What is the derivation of the
phrase Mad as a hatter?' One eX-
PLANTATION is that it was originally
French. AS mad as an oyster" (hui
tre). that bivalve being supposed TO be
extremely unintellectual. Another
theory is that the phrase had refernce
to Collins. the English poet, author OF
the "Ode to the Passions He was
halter at Chichester, and it has been
said that the lunatics with whom
was confined at one time called him
the halter" and that the phrase origi-
mated thus.

Were it not for these calamities and

heart of humanity would stagnate like

CLEVELAND NOT RICH.
Income of Former President Declared
 to Be Only s5,0oo a Year.

New York, Aug. 10.-A Wall street man who has known Grover Cleveland for nearly twenty years and has said and written many bitter things about the former president, surprised some of his friends yesterday by declaring that MT. Cleveland. instead of being wealthy as is generally supposed, is comparatively poor.
 T happen to know a good deal about Mir. Cleveland's financial af- fairs" said he, and his income is only a little more than s5.000 a year. That is not much for a man who has to support a family and live in the style befittiDg a former president of the United States. The public thought Mr. Cleveland saved some of the sala- ry he received as president. He did not He was president eight years. At s50,90O a year that means s400.00O. MT. Cleveland kIl a smaller fortune when he retired from the White House than vixen he entered it. He was credited with making a lot of money out of real estate speculations in the outskirts of Washington. His real estate operations were confined to the. purchase of one house-Red Top and the sale of it at a price below that which he pail for it.
 Some persons think he made money through the bond deals of Morgan and Benedict while he was president. am not one of Cleveland's admirers, but I must give credit to him for be- ing above anything of that sort. He would go a long way fUr a friend, but he is the soul of honesty.
 Mrs. Cleveland has some property which came to her from the Folsom estate, but it is not much. The in come from it is few thousands a year at the outside
 The Wall street man was asked if Mir. Cleveland had not made a mistake in becoming one of the Ryan trustees of the Equitable.
 Maybe so.' he replied, "but if any | one supposes Grover Cleveland went | into that affair without knowing what he was doing he is mistaken. It IS harl to fool him. He is blunt and | positive. He has his eyes open all ] the time Whatever salary he gets
 as trustee he will earn it. If he had
 wanted a position that was a sinecurt and that would bring him big money he could have had hundreds of them
 But he is jealous of his good name ant | reputation, and I am free to confess i that in my opinion he accepted the of fer made by Thomas F. Ryan, no
 from any monetary consideration, bu from a belief that he could perform ; great public service to the Equitable policy-hOlders."

The honorable secretary of agricul- ture says he thinks that in order to se- cure an honest statistician the salary of the position will have to be raised from $3,50O to s5,00O per annum, the same as the salary of a congressman. The secretary is far from the right track if he thinks the amount of the salary has anything to do with a mans honesty. It is the high salaried men who have conspicuously occupied the attention of the public recently as art istic grafters A dishonest man in Q public office steals according to his op pOrtunity The amount of the salary has nothing to do with making mer honest.

DELEGATE RODEY EIuRDuRBERY

The Tucson Star is wasting a liberal smount of slobber on ex-Delegate Ro- dev. of New Mexico. and is going al most unto mysteries in praise of this discredited New Medco politician Ro- dey has proved himself to be unwor- thy of the honor and position which the people of New Mexico conferred upon him when he was elected as delegate to congress. When Rodey was elected to congress he was an ar dent advocate of statehood for New Mexico. but when the omnibus state hood bill was up for consideration he abandoned the people of New Mexico and went with the representatives of the eastern senators, who were plot ting to reduce the power of the west and combine the territories, so that when admitted they would have two United States senators instead of four, to which they are entitled. Rodey agreed to joint statehood because he| believed that with state composed of New Mexico and Arizona he would be able to secure one of the two sen atorial seats, and so long as he got one he cared not whether there was one more or three.
 For this desertion of the people of New Mexico and Arizona. when the time come for choosing of his success or as congressional delegate, the peo- pie whom he had deserted in the hour of the direst need turned from him and handed the HomInation for dele .ate to MT. Andrews
 After the republicans had nominatea MT. Andrews. this same Rodey, full of vanity and self-conceit. deserted his marty and became an independent can didate with the hope of not being elect ed himself. but with the purpose of electing the candidate of the democrat ic party. as a means of reeking re- venge on the party which had in theI past conferred honor upon him.
 This is Rodey, the man whom the Star is slobbering over and declaring that he is due the lasting gratitude of Arizona and New Mexico because of what he has done for the west.
 Rodey has been true to neither the people of New Mexico nor his party, and We do not believe the people of Arizona will be ready to give heed to his praise.

PURIFYING THE SENATE

A San Francisco contemporary, in discussing the question of electing United States senators by popular vote. makes the following significant remark: "Unquestionably the cleo tion of senators by direct vote of the people would not purify the upper house at Washington but it would be possible for the people al ways to send back to private life at the end of his term any senator sus- pected of public or private wrong doing"
 Is not this distressing talk? Has it come to pass when the senate of the United States needs to be puri fled? Are there any members of that august body who can be considered as open to the suspicion of either public or private wrong doing? Sad ly and with humiliation be it acknow Iedged that these inquiries will in evitably bring to mind the names oi Senator Hipple-Mitchell, of Oregon Senator Burton, of Kansas; Senator Clark, of Montana, and Senator De pew, of New York.
 There need be very little doubt iT the minds of thinking men that every one of these senators would be re tired to private life. without awaiting the term time, if the people could sa, their say in the matter of direct vote

Cold Storage
 BEEF

Not shipped in from a Cold Storage Plant but from our own cold storage here in Bisbee.
 This means more than you will rec ognize at first glance. Cold storage beef shipped in is not in as good con- dition to be marketed to the Bisbee consumers as our beef. We buy our own cattle, kill them ourselves and thea put them in our cold storage. from which the meat is sold to you direct from the cold storage on short notice. Therefore our meat comes to you fresher with less chance from taint during this hot weather.

che Promotion Of
Billy mason.

this position he was ad-
vanced to hostler, then by hard
work and attention to his business
he gradually advanced until one
day he found himself making his
first trip as fireman on No. 62, the
engine which pulled out the local
every morning. His engineer was
one of those kind hearted men we
sometimes meet. He had started
at the bottom, and was always
ready to help a worthy young man
rise. He helped Bill along as
much as he could. In fact, SO
much so that when he was pro-
noted to fireman he was as we'll
qualified as most, and better than
some engineers who had regular
runs. He knew every part of his
engine and could repair any sud-
den breakdown that might occur.
His affection for his engine was
SO marked that older railroad men
often spoke of it. It was to him
not mere mass Of iron, steel,
bolts and rods; it was human to
han, and when he walked around
1T to clean and oil it, he did it as
carefully as a mother tends her
child. He was not without ambi-
ton. His one ambition was to
have an engine of his own, to have
one Of the fast runs on the road.
But no matter how hard he
worked, at the end of several years
this o-much-desired end was ap-
parently as far off as when he was
a wiper.
But all things come to him who
zhustles while he waits; so it proved
in Mason's case. The long-looked-
for opportunity came at last, and
he was equal to the emergency,
and made the most Of it. One
evening when he came in from his
regular run he found the yard
master waiting for him.
"Hurry up, Bill" he cried.
Gall regular men out. Special
to start-get up and fire for Jim
Dixon" AS he said this he hur-
ried him to where the special stood
under full steam. As he climbed
up into the cab he heard the yard
master give Dixon the following
instructions: "Remem Der, you run
as second No. 7; you pass forty
eight at Smiths siding; stop for
orders at Eagle Junction
Gail right" replied Dixon, as
he, in obedience to the conductors
signal, opened the throttle and
sent the tram out into the night.
Dixon was one of the oldest
engineers on the road. He was a
good engineer, somewhat cranky
or ''off" at times, and rumor had
it that he sometimes drank more
than was good for him. For some
reason he never had n UGH use for
Mason, so when the latter climbed
into the cab he did not receive a
very friendly greeting. Mason
paid no attention to him, but set
himself about his work.
The engine shot through into
the night like demon. The speed
increased minute after minute un-
til the gauge showed first thirty,
then forty and finally sixty miles
an hour. At first Bill paid little
attention to his companion. 1t
was not long, however, until he
became aware that the engineer
must be either drunk or crazy.
He kept increasing until they
were now going at an unheard-
of rate of speed. The conductor
had signaled him several times, but
he either would not or could not
hear. All at once he gave yell
and pulled the throttle to it's limit
They went around curves and over
