WHEN TO CRY.

There millions of little boys and girls in the
world who want to do just the right thing and the
very best thing. But they do not always know
what just the right thing is, and sometimes they
tell the very best thing from the very worst
thing.
Now l have often thought that there little
boys and girls who cry, and then at the
wrong time; and ! have asked many of the older
people, but none Of them could tell me the best
time to cry.
But the other day met older and wiser
than any of the rest. He very old and very
wise, and he told me:
1T is bad luck to cry Monday
"To cry OH Tuesday makes red eyes
Crying Wednesday is bad for children's
heads and for the heads of older people.
at is said that if child begins to cry on Thurs
day ne she will find it hard to stop
1T is not best for children to cry Friday 1t
makes them unhappy.
"Never cry Saturday 1t is too busy day
Tears shed on Sunday are salt and bitter.
"Children should account cry at night
The nights are for sleep.
They may cry whenever else they please, but
not at any Of these times, unless it is for some
thing very serious"
I wrote down the rules just as the old man gave
them to me. OF course they will be Of no use to
the boys and girls who past six for those
children do not cry. The wise old man meant
them for the little ones-the millions of little
boys and girls who to do just the right thing
and the very best thing.-St. Nicholas.

down hairpins, undo the fastenings of my calar
and stretching his cunning head, cut buttons off
the front of my waist using his bill scissors.
Some studs L substituted for buttons he used to
at, and turn his head and blink his bright eyes
over, apparently considering why he could not
cut them off as he had the buttons.
He took exercise on wicker chair, and
this he was tired of swinging 1t tickled
his fun-loving spirit also to prance along the top
of Japanese screen; and he would almost dislo-
cate his little neck in reaching for the flying cranes
embroidered below Tufts of paper and cloth to
catch his attention and divert him from the en-
broidery he would tear to tatters and then stretch
again after the golden cranes.
He had marvellous pertinacity, and a thing he
failed to do one day or occasion he would
try for again, evidencing usually a pretty accur-
ate measurement of what was necessary to &C
complish it; he appeared to have been studying
the matter since his last attempt.
One of these endeavors of his was to get the
soap | used when washing his dishes and cage
He would watch where l put the shining cake
and then run for it with all the speed he could
muster, his course showing that he reasoned and
thought out the sally.
There were times when | wanted to put him in
his cage and he did not want to go Then he would
edge down my back below the shoulder blades and
there chase from left to right and right to left
playing hide and seek with great gusto When
l put my finger on side, meaning, as he knew,
that he should step upon it, and say, "Polly!" he
would laugh in cleverest imitation of my laugh,
and run to the other side, precisely as II pretend
ind he did not my finger
He would not only laugh in most musical
way, but he would bark, NEW, sing and the
scale
What intelligent little creature he wasl And
so warm-hearted toward those he loved! But to
many he made no expression whatever, and pass
ed them without a look. chambermaid he saw
every day he dsliked, and when she offered him
her finger he pinched it numerically One day
when she showed him the drop of blood he had
drawn, he threw back his head and laughed till
he nearly fell off his screen.
And yet his sympathy wonderful. He had
a wonderful aptness at taking the mood of the
who had gained his devotion, and he seemed
to absorb likes and dislikcs When he heard a
child cry he would droop his feathers and cry too,
just when those about him laughed he also
laughed i'll merry-hearted fashion.
He most charming however, when his
heart seemed fairly to ache with loving his friends
and he would creep up and snuggle in ones neck
and coo and gurgle little unsyllabled messages.

Who will the republicans pit against Mark Smith this fall? Will it be Bob Morrison, Oakes Murphy or B. A. Fow- Ter? The Tucson Star, which is now assuming the role of republican organ of the territory, thinks a Cochise re- publican is entitled to the place. We quite agree with the Star, and would
 suggest that Secretary Nichols. an old resident of Willcox. take his turn against the unterrified and undefiled.

THE STATEHOOD nc. m

One unhappy result of the suDpres- ion of free speech in the House of Repro sehtatives is that the statehood bill went to conference in such shape that the conferees have for a fortnight ST more, been killing time upon minor details and imperfections instead of going at once to the main question of statehood for Oklahoma and the In dian Territory independently of the Arizona and New Mexico rider, says the St. Louis Republic.
 Among the alleged imperfections which might have been mere readily eliminated if the House had been sui fered to debate and vote on the bill as it came from the Senate. is the Senate amendment requiring the pro- posed state of Oklahoma to set apart ether lands for school purposes than those on which mineral claims have been Sled.
 If the House had rejected this amendment and passed the bill the Senate must have acquiesced, for Sec retary Hitchcock has shown the con ferees that the amendment would cost the schools of the proposed state not less than s1,0OO,000. and Governor Frantz of Oklahoma has been making plain that it is a part of a land-grab- ping scheme to get possession of the school lands containing valuable min eraI deposits.
 But the conferees are still wrang. ling over it. and Beyeridge. who would be glad to make good his threat of defeating all statehood legislation un- less he can make two states of the four southwestern territories at one stroke, had gone to the conference pledged to stand by the Senate amend ments.
 MT. Hamilton. of the House commit tee on territories, bas also gone into conference obstinate to save the cred it of the speaker, and so the conferees go on thrashing over the short straw of minor details while the main ques- ton of independent statehood for the twin territories is held back for a pos sible deadlock later on.
 In the meantime, enterprise, deyel- opment in the proposed state wait, as they have waited for years, upon the action of the two houses of Con gress, which. pretending to favor early statehood, have heretofore always found points Of obstruction upon which tc disagree.
 And while the confeTees wraDgle and delay, political sentiment in the country at large is taking turn which may well alarm the republicans for the presidency in 1908. The seven electoral votes which the proposed state of Oklahoma would cast in that election are, perhaps, never absent from the calculations of the president, the speaker and the bosses of machine politics at both ends of the capitol.
 Very likely they might be endan xered by admission of the proposed state: but they had better meet the danger by accepting it. They will lose more by longer excluding the twin ter ritories than they could possibly lost by admitting them.

The time has come in Arizona for the people to smoke the fees out of the precinct officers. Any law that will permit justice of the peace to draw from the county more than 5000 for three months in addition to the cash fees which he receives from par ties who pay their fines in his court to say the least, is badly in need of fixing. Such extravagant allowance in the office of justice of the peace is an outrage on the tax payers.

 That the operators will have some sort of a counter plan for arbirra- ton to that opposed By President Mitchell is quite generally believed here tonight, but no intimation of its character can be had
 Today's conference was attended by all the principal operators of the an- thtacite region President Mitchell remained at the miners headquarters at Ashland House throughout the day. OaIy three or four of his as i sistants are in the city, most of the district leaders having gone to their homes over Sunday
 The situation in the Irwin and l Johnstown fields is rapidly assuming an harmonious aspect. Trouble ir both these districts is practically caused by efforts of the miners un ion to gain recognition.

a possible ally who might in return help them to break the Dingley stran. gle hold upon their farming and stock raising constituents.
 Massachusetts must have cheap coal and cheaper raw materials, or many of its industries must surely perish. Western agricultural inter- ests must have better foreign markets or they will suffer. Massachusetts and the West might meet half way on the tariff road for mutual advantage, but their wheels are locked until the democrats break the chains.
 Even Senator Cullom, who spoke so sensibly in the reciprocity conven- tion and with such appreciation of western needs, has remained dumb with respect-to revision and reciproc. ity throughout the session.
 Maybe republican leaders are con. vinced that big campaign contribu tions from the beneficiaries of Din gleyism will serve them better in this years elections than the good will ot the voters whom they slap in the face
