THE PENNY REACHES ARIZONA.
It Compels Respect, Although 1t is an
Unwelcome Innovation.
From the Arizona Republican.

Phoenix Is fast becoming a penny town.
That does not mean that it is getting to be
a smaller or meaner place, but In the mat
ter OF manners and customs a larger ana
more important place, however much the
old timers may deplore the penny innova-
ton. The further east one travels the
smaller the change becomes, and when the
water is crossed the pennies are split. Still
further east. where the war is going on, the
fractions are so small that penny would
look like a pretty sizeable piece of money.
1t has not been many years since penny
was a real curiosity in Arizona, and 1t Is
stu rare article In some of the mountain
towns In those days a quarter was small
change, and nickels We're only good TO give
to the children. They were even looked
upon as pretty small for the contribution
box. But those days have changed.
The change was brought about partly by
the department stores, who thought TO
drive competition little closer. but more
by the winter tourist army that annually
visits the southwest. 1t is not that .ney
are less liberal than other people but they
use pennies at home all the time and have
them in their pockets when they come to
Phoenix. Though there are but few things
advertised outside of the dry goods line in
which the penny Is a unit of value. Ii IL
always good money at the post office, and
every tourist does business with the post
office first and other places afterward. In
stinctiyely the pennies were offered at the
post Office and accepted without comment.
That led to the expectation OF pennies In
change. and OF course they were provided.
1t did not take long for many Of the home
people to "get the habit" and now most
anybody can flash penny II he tries,
though II is still the habit OF the old set
tiers to tell the postmaster or the clerk TO
keep the change.
That the penny Is the harbinger OF the
tourist, or vice versa. is proved by the fact
that In the winter time the post office Is
flooded with pennies. for the tourists leave
theirs there. and the old settler, who gets
them on the outside In trade or any other
place. offers them to the postmaster. or
gives them to somebody else who does.
when he would not think Of throwing out
pennies anywhere else In town. But In the
summer time the pennies flow out again
with the flight of the tourists. and by mid
summer the post Office has to rustic Tor
small change. sending to other towns for
pennies.
Tucson. 1t Is said. does all II can to dis
courage the penny. and in this Tucson has
the moral support of the old-timers. 1t Is
related that near the depot at Tucson IL a
little curio shop that lady travellers often
visit while their trains are being made up
in the yards and that not infreQuently q
woman will pick out a post card or two
and offer to pay for IL In pennies. where-
upon the dealer Invariably responds that
that kind of money Is not good In that city,
but IL she Ia anxious for the card he give1
It to her. 1t used to be that Wny = Ihoop

Prince Edward and His Tutor.
From NJ. A. p.

Here is little anecdote of Prince Ed
ward OF Wales which shows that .thor-
ough' is his motto even in trivial mat
tiers. One morning recently one of the
visiting tutors to the little princess arrived
at Marlborough house with his tie in a
somewhat disheveled condition. and Prince
Edward inquired why it was not properly
put on. The tutor confessed that never in
his life had he succeeded In tying bow
and that his wffe's absence from home
accounted for the unusual condition Of his
tie The little prince promptly offered to
put the tie to rights. but SO tightly did he
make the bow that the tutor subsequently
found II 1ar more difhcuit to take the tie
OF than 1t had been to nut II onI The
Prince OF Wales, by the by, Is not content
with the usual weekly account OF his sons,
educational progress which sunless for,
most parents. He insists on their teachers
sending him daily report Of how ND

Decidedly Irregular Tendon
cies Marked Dealings,
FEW NEW HIGH RECORDS
SOME ACTIVE ISSUES SHOWED
PRONOUNCED PRESSURE.
News From Russia Was Naturally
ouieting-very Little Business on
Foreign Account.

NEW YORK, November stock market
dealings today displayed decidedly irregu-
lar tendencies, some stocks making new
high-record figures, while other active is
sues showed quite pronounced pressure. In
a general way the markets course could be
referred to this mornings dtscouraging ad-
vices from Russia. Apparently the conces-
sions made by the imperial government
were far from proving satisfactory to the
Russian people, and the further evidences
of INSTRUMENTATION and dissatisfaction were
naturally disquieting.
The general feeling in this respect was
accentuated because OF the closing, for va
rious reasons, of the important European
stock exchanges. which would ordinarily be
looked for to give some definite reflection
of the disappointing results Of the cars
manifesto.
Little on Foreign Account.
Practically nothing was done here for
foreign account except on direct orders
from the continent, and these were upon
a trifiing scale Local condition relating
to the market showed little alteration.
Money, on call ruled close to per cent
during the greater part of the day, and
the rates for sterling exchange receded
