MAKE ONE EQUAL TO FouF
American Army Officers Way Of Ac,
counting for Victories Of
the japanese.

How Japan made one of her soldiers
equal 20 four Russians is told by Mai.
Louis =. Seaman, United States army
surgeon. The army and public are in
debted to Maj. Seaman, says the Cleye-
land Flain Dealer. for the first detailed
information about the hitherto I'm
equaled efficiency of the medical de-
partmsnts Of the japanese army and
navy, and in the article referred to he
adds some important supplementary
information.
Ten years ago Japan began to IRE
pare 4or war with Russia. It was esti-
mated that Russia would have some
100000 available soldiers, against
100000 for Japan. How to equsl lize
these forces in fighting efficiency was
the problem which confronted the Jap
anese general staff, and in the solu-
ton Of it the medical officers we;e q
most potent factor. It was known that
in war, generally speaking, four men
die from disease to one who succvmbs
to wounds. Japan proposed to eli.nin-
ate disease, and Maj. Seaman tells how
they set about it and how admirably
they succeeded. His conclusion may
be summed up in the statement shat
for the first six months Of the war the
Japanese loss from disease was oniy a
fraction of one per cent. Up to August
1 1852 cases had be- received al the
Hiroshima reserve hospital from the
field, of whom s,636 were wousded.
OF the total number up to that date
only "a had died. Quite as surprising
as the amazingly low death rate Is the
fact that only about one-third o: the
total cases were men suffering from
disease =. 4.--@ -. -.
Japanese medical officers went tn ad-.
vance of the troops; examined the water
supply and camping grounds and re-
moved conditions that threatened the
health of the troops. The work cf the
surgeons was thus confined maiuly to
the permanent hospitals. Owing 20 the
''merciful'S character of the modern
rife most of the wounds were com
paratively slight and most of the wound
ed were soon in the ranks. First aid'''
treatment was sufficient to allow most
Of the wounded either to return to the
ranks or, at all events, to reach a base
hospital without calling on able bodied
comrades for assistance A veritable
revolution was wrought in the military
branch of the healing art. s. e "
The Japanese while protecting them
selves succeeded in turning against their
foes all the microbes and kindred NOR
bific agencies that have played such
havoc with armies. + z

THE CABBAGE PATCH
How It's Stories Were Pictured in
 Last Nights Entertainment.

The entertainment at the First Me thodist church last night. as an enter tainment. was all that the most expect ant could have asked for but owing to the threatening appearance of the Wea- ther the audience was a little disap- pointing. It is true there was a very fair attendance sufficient to encOur- age all participating, to their best ef- forts. but there were yet other seats that should have been filled both be- cause Of the merits of the entertain ment and the purpose for which it was given.
 The pulpit was transformed into an erstwhiIe stage by the hanging of couple of improvised curtains and the settings were the humble properties one might expect to find in the cabbage patch home. such as a little box stove a few chairs. table. piano, chromo pie lures. etc, while the foreground was given a realistic touch by the hanging of a cIOthesline across the room and its decoration with a few pieces of the family linen. This is not a complete list of props" but it serves to illustrate.
 Nearly everybody has read or read about the two delightful little books, Mrs Wfggs of the Cabbage Patch. and Lovey Mary To those who haven't the name alone is sufficiently sugges- tive of tl,e nature of the stories. The program last night was the presenta- ton of the principal scenes from these stories. dramatized for the occasion by Mrs May French Cooley and Miss AL lethia Hamilton, and arranged in na- tural sequence. so the termination of the book stories when blended would not fail to come out right.
 The stories. and likewise the enter tainment one might say appropriately, is an exposition of the genuine simple life" Not the popular simple life where one hires a servant to help him be simple, but the simplicity of neces- sity and therefore attended by all it's virtues For most people this sort of q simple life is mighty embarrassing but the story illustrates that with real philosopher, such as Mrs. Wiggs, there can be no such thing as a total failure under any circumstances. She was the real optimist and never en- countered conditions she couldn't find a bright side to, even though the world looked black to everybody else. She said the one thing she couldn't stand at all was to see a person get sorry for him. self for there is never any use of it.
 However humble her own lot or how near she might be to starvation with
Arizona republican., 1905-04-28

her house full of children, she was ever joyous and singing, attending to her own business and that of everybody else in the whole neighborhood, not in a meddling way but in a good natured self assumed motherly fashion. She was so handy about those things that the neighbOrs finally quit thinking for themselves and rather expected her to take care of them. The situations were often brutally honest and as ludicrous as they were innocent
 The leading character of course was Mrs. Wiggs and it was portrayed by Mrs. Cooley with a naturalness that was so realistic one was almost afraid she would forget to change back, and would allow the transformation to be- come permanent. For though nobodys heart could be pUrer than Mrs. Wigg's her manner was certainly too honest and old fashioned for the twentieth century ladies. Mrs. Cooley's dialect, manner and makeup answered perfect ly the demands of the story and she was the central figure of most scenes Miss Hazy, who was really hazy about almost everything, and especially about getting married was represented by Miss Charlotte White in a manner that well eXemplified the peculiarities of that character. Lovey Mary was played by Mrs. Vivian Palmer HamiI- ton who also had a fine conception of the little family drama and who sang sweetly in one of the later scenes. Miss Nellie Battin was Miss Lucy who Mrs. Wiggs insisted was the very best per son in the world. Various others as sisted, even the children doing remark ably well and showing careful training Among the others whose names appear in the cast were Miss Lucy T. Ellis, Miss Carrie Johnson, Mrs F. $. Me Roberts, Miss Rena Doris, C. l.. Be- dell, Jerry w. South, Percival Levy c. r. Simms, while Carl DOud and Miss Doud assisted in tho music.

REPRESENTATION
A Church Wedding Followed by a
 Home Reception.

Captain James A. Parks and Miss Annie Pemberton were happily mar ried last night, the ceremony being performed at s o'clock in Trinity Epis- cOpal church, Rev. F. A. Penick Ofii- ciating. The wedding was a public one and quite a gathering of friends assembled to witness the tying of the nuptial knot.
 After the wedding the newly married couple were driven to the home of the brides brother. MT. Carpenter, on north Third street, where a limited number of immediate friends and the members of E company N. c. A. had been invited to assemble. Here a sumptuous wedding supper was served and the remainder of the evening spent most pleasantly after the manner of such festaI occasions. MT. and Mrs. Parks were then driven to his resi- dence on South First avenue, which will hereafter be their home.
 The bride is an estimable young woman who came here a few months ago from Montreal and though she is yet among the recent arrivals in Phoe- nix she has made many warm friends. The groom has lived here for many years and is well known and highly and is a well known mechanic. For several years he has E~c1 c-pt2;n of B company N. c. A. and is hOnOred and respected. both by his own com mand and by his superior officers.

REALTY TRANSACTIONS
Recent Sales of Both City and Country
 Property.

Notwithstanding R. H. Greene is kept pretty busy attending to munich pal business as councilman from the second ward (and that is not intended for a joke either). he finds time to keep his private business moving along with the procession. On this occasion he has the facts of three realty trans action concerning which he is willing to take the public into his confidence.
 The largest deal is the sale of a for ty acre ranch that belonged to the Phoenix Building & Loan association and that he sold for SS5 per acre. It is described as the south half of the north half of the northeast quarter Of section 26 township north, range 3 east.
 Another sale was that of twenty acres, situated a mile north of Glen dale. The former owner is George Kopp and the buyer is Mary R. Pierce. the consideration being forty dollars per acre.
 The third transaction was the sale of lot II, block of the Porter & BaX- ter subdivision of the Murphy addi- tion. B. Heyman owned the lot and it was sold to c. w. Lee for $50.
 Another thing Mir. Greene mentioned Q a rather unusual thing at this time of the year and withal a quite favOra- ble indication. That is the increased demand recently for houses. He says ne has a number of applications for houses that he could not supply. And further. the applicants were none of them possible campaign colonists, for they were not voters or permanent residents

YOU'LL NEVER BE MISSED.

IN sailing DER the sea Of lifemy brothers, do not
think
You should leave the progress craft it d go to
Don't feel that you possess the earth and all that
And hold q chattel mortgage on the planets In
the skies.
You are but tiny. single drop of water in the
sea.
OF ali the great and active tide of live humanity
And you should always bear In mind the small
ness of your might
The earth will spin on just the same when you
drop out OF sight,
Though you be rich in gold and lands and bear
an honOred name,
Though as star you glitter in the armament
of fame,
Remember that the humblest man you scornful-
- ly pass by
WIN stand your equal at the bar of justice up on
high:
Though you may think yourself above the hon
May look on him as dross while you're nugget
in the pan,
You scarcely will be missed when from the earth
you take your fight
The world will never feel jolt when youdrop
out of sight.
The proudest monarch on the earth must some
day take his stand
famed,
Ahd when BY hand Of God the seals of that great
-. book are rfven
The man of toll may be prince, the king shut
out of heaven.
Then, g you meet your fellow men don't for
moment think
That in The endless chain of life you are lead
ing link,
And always keep this grain of truth within your
memory bright:
The earth win never slip a cog when you drop
out Of sight.

THE SNUFF HABIT.

The snuff taking habit is so rarely
observed in this part of the country
that one is almost tempted to believe
that it has almost ceased to exist.
Such, however, is far from being the
case. Last year more than 10000
900 lbs. of this titillating compound
was used by the people of the United
States, and they paid 81, 900, 900 for
the satisfaction they believed they had
from its use. But that is not all.
If snuff-takers are growing fewer and
fewer in this locality, they must be
growing more numerous somewhere
else, for the consumption of snuff is
on the increase. Most of the snuff
used in the United States is made
and consumed in the Southern States.
In Tennessee and Kentucky leafto-
bacco is mainly used. In order to
make snuff more acceptable to the pa
late, as we'll as the nose, rose oil, oil OF
geranium, honey and claret are used
by some manufacturers to give 1t tia-
vor and aroma.
Here in the North, says the Ian
caster Mezv Era, so far as observation
goes, snuff is taken chiefly through
the medium of the nose. In the
South, and especially throughout the
Southwest, dipping" or "snuif
chewing" is the practice. Seventy
FIVE per cent. of the snuff manufac-
tured in this country is made for what
is termed dipping" or snuff chew
ing. The "snuff dipper" carries his
snuff in a receptacle with a small
brush, or stick, with the end smash
ed so as to hold small particles of the
stimulant. The brush or stick is
touched lightly to the nostrils, the
user snuf6ng in the meanwhile. The
snuff chewer uses snuff much as plug
tobacco is used. A small wad is roll
ed and placed between the gum and the
upper lip. 1t is allowed to lie there
much as a piece of tobacco is tucked
into the cheek. This is the principal
manner of snuff consumption in this
country. Snuff dipping" is, per-
haps, the most Objectionable of allthe
ways in which tobacco is used.
Those who have not seen how it is
done cannot realize what it really is.
Only tour through Arkansas will
bring one to a realizing sense of what
"snuff-dipping" means.

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.

Our readers will remember how
Dick Martin, of Galway, Ireland, Sc
cured from the British Parliament the
first law in the world for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals. If we re-
member rightly, in the first case he
prosecuted under the law he brought
an abused donkey into the courtroom
to testify in his own behalf. We
have never had in America, to our
knowledge, just such case, but we
did have one the other day somewhat
similar. Our agents, Clark and Phil
lips, prosecuted man for abuse of
his horse, in the police court at
Lawrence, and the Judge (Stone)
after listening to the testimony Of the
defendants veterinarian, and the ar
gument of the defendants lawyer,
said he wanted to see the horse; so he
adjourned the court, went to the
stable, personally examined the horse,
and then returned to the courtroom
and fined the defendant SIS. This
sum, added to witness fees, costs Of
court, and what the defendant had to
paw his lawyer and his veterinarian
to testify in his behalf, amounted to
a sum which we hope may protect the
horse from all future cruelty. And
this reminds us of what many of our
readers will remember how we
brought the great prize-fghter, John
L. Sullivan, into court and proved
that he twice struck and twice kicked
a ahorse. The court fined him twenty
five dollars for each blow and twenty
FIVE dollars for each kick, and Mr..
Sullivan paid into our treasury one
hundred dollars to aid in the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals.-Geo. An
geY, in Our Dumb Anfmals.

$50 SHOES.

Mems shoes, such as the wearer
may display to critical public with
out fear or shame, sell in New York
at prices varying from Sc. so to 81 900
pair. Everybody has seen the
shoes that sell at $40 or $I2 a pair
downward. Comparatively few have
seen those that sell for 5000 pair up
ward.
Naturally shoes at 81, 900 a pair
are made to order. They are not ne
cessarily made to fit deformed feet.
The rule of some shoemakers, like
that Of some doctors, is to charge all
that the traffic will bear. A man
with difficult and delicate foot and
plenty of money went to fashionable
shoemaker not long ago for the first
time, and asked the price of shoes.
The shoemaker, after a careful ex-
animation of the customers feet and
mental calculation as to his prob
able willingness and ability to pay a
high price, answered
IT will make your first pair ofshoes
for $500. After that will make you
pair at any time and in any style
for $50"
Shoemaker and customer compro-
missed on price about half that pro-
posed for the first pair of shoes, but
the customer made no attemp to bring
down the price of subsequent pairs.
He knew $50 pair to be the regu-
lar price of the shop, and one that in
his case at least would not be depart
ed from.
There are other shoemakers who
charge wealthy and fastidious custom
ers with troublesome feet 5000 for the
first pair of shoes. Some hundreds of
New Workers are probably paying
regularly $50 for every pair of shoes
that they have made. Some of the
shoemakers who get such prices from
rich customers make shoes for other
customers at $Ioor $I2 dollars pair.
In the case of the customers who
pay the highest price the shoemaker
makes a cast of each foot and, of
course, last for each. He makes a
special last even in the case OF the
customers who pay his lowest price.
Into the $50 shoes he also puts the
best workmanship and materials. 1t
is not pretended that the making of
the casts and the lasts costs any large
proportion of the price Of $50 shoes.
The value of the last, however, is a
considerable part of the cost of the
cheapest shoes made at such shop.
Some persons believe that the
greater part of the cost of $50 pair
of shoes is mere fad and humbug,
and it is true that the purchasers of
them are usually women to whom
money is matter of no consequence.
Some of the most expensive shoes,
such as cost from 5000 to 81 900 for
the first pair made, are ordered by
hard headed business men who are
accustomed to look pretty keenly to
the price of what they buy or sell.
A few ofthe fashionable shoemakers
have persuaded their rich customers
that the most expensive shoes are
worth all they cost, and BY curious
accident some of the most difficult
feet to fit are those of the very rich.
The multi-millionaire who wears
plain and simple B, without pecu-
liarities Of heel, toe, hollow or instep,
can buy ready made shoes along with
his poor neighbor, and be as comfort
ably shod as the man who pays $50
for his shoes. Xo,k Sun.
