Dun's Wool Review.

Following is Dun's current review
of the eastern wool market:
According to the monthly circular
of Coates Brothers, the average of
one hundred quotations of domestic
wool on February LIST was 1888 cents
pound. which compares with 28.O1
at the beginning OF the year; but
there still appears gain of 1.34 cents
a pound compared with the average a
year ago, and 500 cents over 1904.
Eastern dealers have not yet received
the orders that they anticipated, but
few concessions are made. Foreign
woods continue competing in this mar
ket. and very good results were at.
tanned at the last London auction
sale, some grades rising s per cent.
while all were firm in brisk request.
Firm opening prices for new lines of
wooden goods provide the best ele.
ment of strength in the raw material
markets. Some early shearing is an.
nounced in Arizona, but it is still too

Suppressed the Facts.
The Russians and Government.

The distortion Of the teaching of
Jesus with the nOnacceptance of the
commandment of nOnreSistance has
brought Christian nations to mutual
enmity and to consequent calamities
as well as to continually increasing
slavery. This is the fundamental
cause of the approaching revolution.
The particular and temporary
causes owing to which the revolution
is beginning at this very time con-
sist, firstly, in the insanity of grow
ms militarism of the peoples OF the
Christian world as it stands revealed
in the apanese war, and, secondly.
in the increasing state of calamity and
dissatisfaction of the working people
proceeding from their being depriv.
ed of their legitimate and natural
right to use the land
These two causes are common to
all Christian nations, but owing to
special historical conditions of the
life of the Russian nation they are fell
by it more acutely than by other ma
tiOns, and at this particular time. the
misery of its position flowing from
obedience to the government has be
come especially evident to the Rus
sian people, not, think, only through
the dreadful insane war into which
ire government drew them, but also
because the attitude of the Russian
people to the ruling powers has al
ways been different from that of Eu
rOpean nations.
The Russian people have neve
struggled with their rulers, and
above all, having never participates
III power, have not been depraved b.
such participation.
The Russian people have always re
carried power not as a good thing to
ward which it is natural for every maj
to strive, as the majority of European
nations regard power land as, unfor
tunately. some corrupt people of tn
Russian nation are alreadp regarding
it,, but it has always looked upol

HOW THE. PRESIDENT
RECEIVES HIS WAGES.
(Flagstaff GEM

President Roosevelt gets his salary
the last day of every month 1t is
taken to the White House by a mes
senger from the t~reasurer's office
in the shape of a check, and handed
over to the official who has been di-
rected to look after it.
The presidents salary of $500 0 a
year is divided into eight checks of
$4,166.67 each and four checks of
$4,166.66 each. Two months out of ev-
cry three the president gets a check
for the larger sum and the other
month he gets 1 cent less on his
check. This nas been the custom for
many years, and a mistake was never
made but once. That was during the
second administration of President
Cleveland. One month when his check
should have been $4,166.67 the book
keeper made it out for only $4,166.66.
When the books were balanced at the
end of the fiscal year it was found
that the president had due 1 cent
from the government. The officials.
with great ~solemnity, made out a
check on the United States treasurer
for this amount and forwarded it to
Mr.. Cleveland. Because it was the
smallest sum a warrant was ever
drawn for upon the government it was
kept as a souvenir and was never
presented. If the ex-president desires
to do SO at N time it will be prompt
ly cashed.
President Roosevelt's checks are ia
ken to the White House by the same
messenger each time. His name is
William R. Padgett. He is employed
in the treasurer's Office. He was for
a long time a sergeant in Battery A,
Fourth United States artillery, and

INDIGESTION.
(By "Parson" Puckett.)

Choose We this day"
Having chosen, you may work spa
medically or take an occasional vaca-
ton if necessary-but you will not
accomplish much in this world nor
get even a consolation prize in the
next unless you have some definite
plan, purpose and faith woven into
the very fibre of your being.
The .'Parson'' is aware that a phil
osophy of i~ndifferency has been
preached in a certain school of trans
~cendentalism by men who seek to
rise above all materialism in the sub
lime conviction that all things work
together for good. Yes; water runs
down hill, but the same principle
ditch to water fertile fields and
growing crops, instead of merely roll
ing pebbles toward the sea. Unless
the ditch is dug and the crops planted
the water will continue to follow the
course of least resistance.
No man creates power, but by di-
verting the stream of Omnipotence
he can appropriate the forces of the
universe for his own use.
The scintillant dew-drop and the
fieecy cloud-drift are the same, and
the sun that lifts the water from the
earth toward the sky stores the ener
gy in Goa and wood which under
proper conditions transforms the wa
ter into team to drive the wheels
of manufacture and commerce.
1t has been well said that the mill
will never grind with the water that
has passed-or words to that effect.
While it is conceivable thai this is
not literally true in a ense, because
the water is lifted from the oceans
and carried to the land whence it
runs again to the sea, man passes
but once on the journey of life and
must either use every day or ose it
forever. You have all the time there
is today-and maybe tomorrow-but
yesterday is gone beyond recall. You
have also at III command all the
revealed principles of nature, and
your own indecision and lack of pur-
pose are the only obstacles.
Ill health and ignorance are not
an excuse in many cases, for both
may be you own fault.
