The Cscsmhsr Smart Set.

"Bandage," by Edna Kenton, is
the title of the complete novel
which opens the December Smart
Set. 1t is a powerful story Of a
newspaper woman who marries q
young and prosperous lawyer, not
for love, but for the sake of the
home he can provide for her. The
heroine's awakening to realiza.
ton of her selfishness, ner craving
for taste of her old life in the old
surroundings, and her struggle
against the influence of man who
had formerly loved her, form the
chief elements of an intensely dra.
matte narrative. Miss Kenton's
reputation as a short story writer
has been steadily growing in the
past two years, but in this sustain
ed effort she proves couclusively
that she has also the novelists gift,
The Smart Sci has published no
stronger piece Of fiction in many
months.

that the Graham county board of
supervisors will refuse to obey the
recent order of the supreme court
directing them to place the raise

the board knows what it is doing
but this does not justify it in
fighting for few companies
against the interests Of the entire
county, especially when it knows
that these companies are not as

How to Cure Corns and BunIons

First, soak the corn or bupion
in warm water to soften It; then
pare it down as closely as possible
without drawing blood and apply
Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice
daily, rubbing vigorously for FIVE
minutes at each application. A
corn plaster should be worn a few
days to protect it from the shoes.
As general liniment for sprains,
bruises, lameness and rheumatism,
Pain Balm is unequaled.

Proclamation Of Thanksgiving.
iBy The GovFRNoR)

tBy the GOVERNOR
The mention of thanksgiving
always recalls tender memories OF
the past. Recollections Of family
reunions at the old homestead on
that day, as far in the past as
memory can go, are irresistible.
The sad and the gay, sorrow and
pleasure, are so blended in these
tender memories that the day has
become sacred in the American
heart.
According to time honored and
approved custom, the president of
the United States has by his pro-
clamation designated Thursday,
the tbirtieth day of November,
1905, as Thanksgiving Day"
Therefore, /, Joseph II. Kibbey,
governor of Arizona, do hereby
proclaim Thursday, the thirtieth
day of November, 1905, to be
thanksgiving Day"--a day of
thankfulness to Almighty God for
his manifold blessings, and | re-
commend its observance as such by
the people OF Arizona,
In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the territory to be
affixed.

81 All Modern bridges. Is VI ~
Although tho building Of great arches
OF masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization. the principle that
gives strength TO the massive stone
bridges Of today Is tho same that built
the bridges OF the Roman empire.
The history. Of bridge building is, to
a large degree. the history Of the arch.
whose efficiency lies In the truth OF the
old Hindoo saying that tho arch never
sleeps" because each separate section
Of which 1t consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, Is con.

surface Of the earth, and not infrc;
quently the part OF his structure thus
covered up and concealed Is greater
than that visible above ground. RI
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis.
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep.
less activity that held 1t together was
equally active in tearing tito pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge builder
skilled In setting his structure; on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honorcd materials for
his work, to. say nothing Of new ma.
