Mark Smith is Getting Old

"I do not believe,' said Dele gate Marcus A. Smith. of Arizona, after the people of Arizona showed by such an overwhelming vote that they were unalterably opposed to statehood through consolidation with New Mexico any further effort will be made to create state by joining such ill-mated partners. The vote against the union of the territories showed that not 3 per cent of the Anglo-Saxon electment of Arizona favored the proposition, and they, therefore. hope Senator Beveridge will drop the plan for all time".
 Continuing Mir. Smith said: "I feel like a Methuselah, Rip Van Wrinkle, or something of that sort. Think of it. I will be the sole survivor on the democratic side of the house of the sixtieth congress after the fourth of March. l shall feel like holding caucus all by myself. Perhaps 1 will be per mitted to place my hat on my seat, instead of drawing for it, out of difference to my being the dean of the democratic side. hope so, as it will be slight recognition of Arizona's importance anyhow. <"
 "Goshp" Mr. Smith added amusingly. eff any man had told me twenty years ago that Arizona would still be territory, and l would be here repres senting her, l would have thought him plumb crazy.
 About the only people who voted for joint statehood were Mexi- cans. Arizona will come in as a separate state or not at all. That question has been settled. Joint statehood will not come up this winter. Arizona can wait if wait she must, but it is an outrage just the same. :"

investing For Profit

My magazine, Investing For Profit" (which Pll send free) is worth $l0 copy to any man who intends to invest any money, how ever small who has money invested unprofitably or who can save $5 or more per month, but who hasn't learned the art of investing for profit.
 1t demonstrates the real earning power of money-the knowledge financers and bankers hide from the masses.
 It shows how to invest small sums and how to make them grow into fortunes the actual possibilities of intelligent investments.
 It reveals the enormous profits bankers make and shows how one can make the same profits safely.
 It explains how stupendous for tunes are made and why they are made how $l ,000 grows to S22, ,000
 To introduce my magazine, write me now, mention this paper and I'll send it six months free.

Strangers visiting Douglas are amazed at the rapid growth of the city. When they are told that Douglas is less than six years old then they are more astounded. In the territory of Arizona there is not a city that can show more substanti- al or beautiful buildings in both the residence and business sections. More than half a million dollars have been invested in new buildings this year. All the growth of this city has been without any effort on the part of any one to boom it or the country tributary to 1t. Conditions have caused this city to appear so quckly and conditions are becoming more favorable than ever before. International.

stances would stand for the same play
twice. We boys had the house almost
to ourselves on Sunday afternoons and
we turned out Loyalty, rain or shine
We might miss Fourth OF July par
ade or President Harrison's visit or
Robinson's circus, but we just couldn't
miss our Sunday afternoon at Mo-
rosco's
Those were the plays worth seeing
The scenery wasn't quite as complete
as your up-to-date scenery is, but it
was appallingly realistic and always
unequivocally impressive. Dark changes
were rarely countenanced. When scene
1, a drawing room, maybe. or a back
yard, was over, a piece of forest would
come sliding out from each side of the
stage In the front fiat and meet, or
almost meet, in the middle. That was
scene .. And advertising curtain, a
masterpiece in its way, fell between
acts, and we used to amuse ourselves
finding numbers on it while the or
chestra, not the worst in the world,
played Two Little Girls in Blue" and
the peanut butcher hawked his wares.
Out went the lights and up rolled
the advertising curtain from the bot
tom. in the good. old-fashioned way.
On the darkened stage we could make
out the form of a railroad bridge. That
railroad bridge we were bound to get
sooner or later, every Sunday, usually
in the second act. The villain-how
we hated that villain--explained how
ne was going to knock the hero UNI
conscious and leave him and his che-iid
on the track. Then he would go and
DO il. Sometimes he would hit the
hero over the head when the hero
wasn't looking, and sometimes he
