A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Plat concerning his own
life was lifting of the curtain, for
an instant to show the real feelings
OF man who has succeeded-and fail
ed.
Platt said, you will remember: "My
life could have been made so much
better, or at least different from what
it has been"
$50 much better-or different
The phra sing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg-
ing of his words, lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been.
1t might have been better-or much
better. Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is senator of the Unit
ed States and maker of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll.
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while to himself and to the
world? With the clear after vision
Of old age Platt can see that his life
las simply been a successful failure.
Because
"A mans life copsisteth not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living. in the true
not in getting but in giving. It lies
not in what man has, but in what
he is and what be does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead of mil
liens of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul: instead of fame as a boss
that of a benefactor: instead of power
| in politics. the power TO do good to
| his fellows instead of the fawnine
| cf leutenants. the esteem of friends
| instead of hollow service, love.
| Yes. his life "could have been made
so much botter'-if he had cared
| 'or the real things instead Of the i'm
'ations
And for the sake of the young men
f this country it is well that this
| cid man, successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure

A Russian Spy.

A feature of the forthcoming pro-
duction of "A Russian Spy" at the
Elks theater is the appearance on the
stage of Japanese man-ofwar. The
vessel is about twenty feet long and
appears at the close of the last act
and bombards the Russian seaport.
1t is the acme of stage realism. "A
Russian Spy" is the latest of the
dramas written around the great
Russo-Japanese conflict and is abso-
lutely true to nature in it's costuming
and in the various scenes depicted.

A LONG JOURNEY ON FOOT
Sam GOldstein Travelling From New
Orleans to San Francisco.

There tramped into town yesterday
morning a dusty and weary individual
carrying a canteen, a hand bag and a
cane. He was Sam Goldstein of New
Orleans travelling on foot from the
Crescent City to San Francisco, 1900
miles He left New Orleans on April
coming by the way Of Beaumont,
Houston. San Antonio and FL Paso
Texas, Douglas, Cananea, Naco, Bis
bee. Benson, Tucson and MaricOpa.
Goldstein is supporting himself en-
route mostly by clog and buck and wing
dancing. He is not making this trip
on a wager and there is no particular
time set for him to reach San Fran
cisco. He is gathering notes by the
way, material for a book to be called,
1.-The Travels of an Eagle" He is
writer as well as a walker and has
done a great deal of short story and
special work for the New Orleans Plea
yune which has at various times sent
him to Cuba and other points.
He bears a letter from Mayor Behr-
man of New Orleans and obtains one
from the authorities of the towns
through which he passes. He wore out
five pairs of shoes. His hardest jour
ney was between Phoenix and Mari
copa where he ran out of water. He
felt a dryness of the throat and a swell
ing of the tongue which impelled him
to wonder whether his body would not be
found on the desert. He slept in a bed
last night for the first time in a half
dozen nights. He Will remain in the
city until the middle of this week.

ADVERTISING THE FAIR
Made Whereby all Hay
Help Some.

Commissioner V L. Clark of the Ari-
iona fair, is losing no time in giving
publicity to the big Arizona show and
in urging all citizens to join I'm the work
for il is one feature of the enterprise
in which all may help.
He is asking all business men who
use considerable stationery. to have
their letter heads and envelopes run
through the press again adding a line
calling attention to the fair. The cost
is not great and the amount of good
it will do IS incaIcuable. For those
who do not use so much stationery or
who feel that they cannot afford the
expense another plan has been devised.
a rubber stamp has been secured
bearing the legend. Remember the
date. Dec. 4 to Q. First Arizona Terri
torial FAIR" This valuable imprint
mas been turned over to the tender
care and keeping Of J. J. Franklin, who
is on the advertising staff Of Mr. Clark.
Any business man who does not care
to have his stationery reprinted, and
who viii leave his request with Mr..
Clark viii receive a call from Mr.,
Franklin who Will. at no expense or
trouble to said business man, stamp
things all over his letter heads and en-
velopes or such portions of them as
shall be designated. It is believed that
no business man VINO is going to write
letters anyway and who has to stamp
them anyway, will object to letting the
same stamps pay freight on a modest
little advertisement.
But there may be some so prejudiC-
ed against a rubber stamp that they
viii not permit its use and for those
there is still another plan. Mr.. Clark
has secured the printing of a quantity
Of manila envelopes. not expensive ones
but good enough for commercial pur-
poses, for the small dealer or for pri-
vate correspondence on every subject
except matrimOny. These envelopes
bear a big fair advertisement in red
ink and are decorated with an appro-
PIRATE cut. These envelopes will be
sold to all who desire them at twenty
five cents per hundred.
That nothing at all may be over
looked and that everybody in Phoenix
may do little something for the coun-
try a quantity of these envelopes is
left with Mr.. Merryman of the sta
tiOnery store next door to the post
Office Anybody who only wants to
mail a few letters will be given en-
veIOpes for nothing if he will ask for
them. They are not for general distri-
button among children, however after
the manner Of picture cards.

MAN LEFT HIMSELF BEHIND.

The alarm clock spoke with fiendish
noise and the man gIared at it with
haleful eyes. says PearsOn's Magazine

swOre at it and blamed it for the
cause of all his troubles and woes.
The frown was still on his face when
he came to the breakfast table; but
his favOrite dish was awaiting him;
a brutal murder and an indecent di
vorce scandal were faithfully reported
in the morning paper, and the man
grew slowly into good humor.
Alas, the time for his departure ar

adjustment and also subject to its
rules. With more cursing. he threw

DAMAGED INDIANS
Effect OF Flood on Pimas and Mari
cOpAS.

George E. Brown, superintendent of
irrigation for the Maricopa and Pima
Indians came over from the Maricopa
reservation last night. He says that
the rise in the Salt River has put all
the dams on the south side out of
commission. The Lambeye dam. the
Indian and Meridian dams are all bad
~ damaged, but as they are built of
straw, brush and gravel they can be
repaired in a few days without eX-
pense. Perhaps 5000 for labor Will
cover the cost of repairs. The work Of
repairs will be begun at once. The
Indians can rebuild their dam without
any expense whatever for labor and
they will undertake the work tomor-
row as they will soon need the water
for the irrigation of their lands for
wheat and barley. They have had
plenty of water since last May
and have raised good crops. The Mar
icopas are in fair condition to pull
through the winter. The Pimas at the
ella crossing have not been so for
tunate. They have had very little wa
ter for irrigation this year for the ella
river has been destroying their dam
and injuring their bitches throughout
the year and it has been hard work
to put the water on their lands and
much harder to keep it there but they
will go to work making repairs early
this week and will no doubt soon have
their lands in good condition for seed
ing.
Mr.. Brown is not only superintend-
ent of irrigation for the Indians but
he is also water commissioner for the
settlers on the north side of the riv
er and for the Meridian canal on the
north side. acting under his appoint
ment by Judge Kent. SO during the
last summer he has had great deal
