A PERFECT HAND.
How Is Appearance Became Familiar
 To the PuHlic.

The story of how probably the most perfect feminine hand ii America be- came known to the people is rather in teresting
 As the story goes the possessor of the hand was with some friends in a photographers one day and while talk ing, held up a piece of candy. The pose Of the hand with it's perfect contour and faultless shape attracted the at tention of the artist who proposed to photograph it. The result was a beau tful picture kept in the family until one day, after reading a letter from some one, inquiring as to who wrote the Postum and Grape Nuts adver- usements. MT. Post said to his wife. We receive so many inquiries of this kind, that it is evident some people are curious to know, suppose we let the advertising department have that pie CUre of your hand to print and name r "A Helping Hand" CIrs. Post has assisted him in preparation of some or the most famous adye-tisements)
 There was natural shrin1ing from the publicity. but with an agreement that no namc would accompany the picture It's use was grantcd.f
 The case was presented in the light or extending welcoming hand to the friends of FCstUm and Grape Nuts. so the picture appeared on the back GOV CTS Of many of the January and Feb ruary magazines and became known ro millions cs people.
 Many artists have commented upon if as probably the most perfect hand in tIa world
 The advertising dept. of the PostuTn Co. did not seem able to resist the temptation 70 enlist the curiosity Of tire public, by refraining from giving the name of the owner when the picture appeared, but stated that the name would be given later in one of the newspaper announcements. thus seek ing to induce the readers to look ro- and read the forthcoming advertise ments to learn the name of the owner
 This combination of art and com merce and the multitude of inquiries furnishes an excellent illustration Of the interest the public takes in the personal and family life of large man ufacturers whose names become household words through extensive and continuous announcements in n~avs- papers and periodicals.

BROTHERTON'5 BABY.
And the Trouble 1t Got Its Ownsr
 Into on one Occasion.

The appearance here at an early day of E. Vance Cooke, the poet. makes timely the following little auecdote ;oId of MT. Cooke and one of his poems:
 4 few years ago, before the author of "Chronicles of the Little Tot had any little tots of his own. and before he had taken to writing real child verses, he produced a skit called 'Brotherton's Baby" which he has since tried hard to disown. However. is seemed to serve very well for rec!t- able purposes and was frequently used by the author in. his reading entertain ments
 Once when he was appearing before q fine audience of Kentucky ladies and gentlemen in one of the cities of that sta'e, where. as is usually the case in southern towns everybody is kin" to everybody else, he started to recite the verses in question, precluding them by nQuiring in conversational tone, Have you seen Brotherton's baby:" as was his custom. After waiting for q moment as if for an answer. he would say, "No?" Then Please score one more for the human
 race:
 There's q baby come to Brotherton's
 place"
 But on this evening he no sooner got the question out of his mouth than the audience broke into a howl of laughter, which confined long and touG.
 mr. Cooke surmised that he had ac- cidentally hit upon the name of some pne in the audience, but he did not know that the said Brotherton was il confirmed bacT -1or. He waited a mo- ment and tLen said: Excuse me. Mir. Brotherton, l didn't know you were here" and gave the next lines. which were:
 Its a little bit of a pudgy imp, Of color a cross between Q shrimp And a lobster-boiIed"
 The audience shrieked again. seeing more fun fu the lines than any audi ence eyer had before, for again MT. Cooke did not know that the said Brotherton was a roly-poly round-and- red-faced little man, and the descrip. ton of the baby fitted him like a glove. The poet reader continued: Tt has TO rair.
 There's place for some but it isn't
 there"
 There was no holding the audience down after that for. be it known, MT. Brotherton was also bald.
 Tt has the most eXpressionIess eyes. And its nose is a most ridiculous size, Or rather it's no size" only made matters worse. and the :u- mutt continued throughout the poem.
 Brotherton's Baby" was the unin- tentional triumph of the evening, but neither MT. BrothertOn nor MT Cooke particularly enjoyed it.

1 R. L. Bake of the Big CUriO is all i the time bringing in pleasing novelties 1 Tor his patrons. He has just put in
 line of handsome Japanese goods un-. Hike any ever seen before In this part i of the country. Attention may be i briefly called to the line of purses, 1 bill books, card cases. etc. They are either Of hand embroidered silk, done las only tIe Japanese can do it, or ! of leather hand carved and hand painted in curious and ornate designs. i In addition to these commentators ithe purses are mounted with sterling silver and ivory. Nothing would make more appropriate gift than one of these articles. These are known as Netslke purses, so called from the city of their manufacture. Besides these trere are many new and striking novelties in leather. He also has a handsome lot of Japanese hand embroidered shawls and hand kc-chicfs.

1 YUMA CITIZEN
 EMAGINFS THINGS
5. B. Sealey Locked up Yesterday on
 Charge of Insanity.

s. 3. Sealey, a resident of Yuma county was arrested yesterday morn ing on the charge of insanity The at tention of the police was called to the condition of SeaIey by an acquain- tance. The man was examined by Of- ficer Moore, who was told by Sealey that his life was in danger. An intri- cate plot to murder him had been set on foot by the authorities of Yuma county, and the attempt was made the night before at his lodgings at the Phoenix hotel. SeaIey said there was $l5O00o in the job. The money would be paid to his assassins by the Vest ern Union Telegraph company
 Sealey said that the night before there were two men, one sleeping on each side of him waiting for him to go to sleep. Once they thought he was asleep and they put out the light He lighted it again and kept up watch In the course of Inc night he heard a man wandering about in the hallway and held him up with a gun. He con Vinced himself that this man had no designs on m.
 The officer found that such a hold up had actually occurred. and that the victim of it was about to make complaint against Sealey. The officer got Sealey's gun away from him and took him to the sheriffs office on the preteXt of getting out papers for the assassins. Arriving at the sheriffs of flee, Sealey was inveiSlcd into the we mans cell in order that his enemies might not be able to get at him and a warrant for his arrest on a charge of insanity was issued.
 Sealey seemed to have no other hal Inclination. Ali questions were answer ed inteIHgently. Among other things he said he was well acquainted with Sheriff Livingston of Yuma county. It was decided to postpone his examina- ton until the sheriff could be heard from. telegram was sent to Yuma last night
 Sealey came 10 this city several days ago and had some business in the land office. He has been a resident of Yu- ma county for several years. He is engaged in farming at CiboIa. There are several former residents of the county in town. They knew him slight ly, but had never heard of any tenden- cy to insanity. The man has been something. of a reader and student and has been greatly interested in social ism.

FAMILY FORTUNES OF AMERICA.

The great fortunes that have sprung up so amazingly in this country dur ing recent decades today. in the opin- ion of mar-- serious thinkers, constf- tute rceuacc to our natio-a1 we'll being, says Cleveland AIonett. in writ ing of The Shameful Misuse of Wealth" in Success Magazine With out these great fortunes there would be TO reign of luxury in America. no Haunting of feasts and follies. no riot of extravaganza; with them we may expect al the evils that have in pre- Vlous civilizations attended upon enor- nous riches. And many of these evils, as We have already seen are actually with rs.
 It is admitted that we are the richest people in tho world today-the rich est people t-e world has ever seen. The vaunted wealth of Croesus is esti- mated at only eight million dollars but there are seventy American estates that average thirty-five millions eacn. As showing the rapid growth of indi- vidual fortunes in this country there is interested in a list of rich printed in 1855, according to which New York City at that time bOasted only twen- ty-eiSht mtllionaires. And pamphlet published some years earlier says that in 1845 Philadelphia could show only ten estates valued at Q million or more, the richest being that of Richard Gi- rard, which reached seven millions. In contrast to which tn 1892 there were over two hundred milIionaires in Phil adelphia.
 As to New York City. the numbel of it's millionaires. according to best information, is over two thousand, while the number of miIIionaires in the United States ts at least five thousand or haf the total number Of tha world There is one family alone, at the head of which sta-ds the richest and most powerful man in the world, Iohn D. Rockefeller, and the wealth of this family is estimated at a thousand mil lion dollars, 9 sum so hu"c that the human mind quite fails to grasp it. sum so huge that if at the birth Of Christ MT. Rockefeller had begun mak- ing 2 dollar 2 minute and had let all these dollars accumulate day and night for all these centuries. he would not yet, in 1906, have amassed a thous- and million dollars. And if Mir Rock efeller should todav turn this wealth into gold coin and take it out of the country, says it's Canada, he would carry across the border three times as much gold as would then remain in the United States. Nor would he car ry it himself, for the weight of it would be one thousand seven hundred and fifty tons. And if he loaded it on the backs of porters, each man bearing his own weight in solid gold (say 150 pounds), it would require twenty three thousand men to move it. And if they walked ten feet apart the line of them would reach forty-four miles and would occupy fifteen hours in passing a given point. None of which takes any account of daily interest on this fortune. which interest, if paid in gold would require the strength of seven men to carry it, for it would weigh thousand pounds Such are the riches of 2 single family.

WORD 10 GARDENERS
 ABOUT PLANT LICE
An Authority Tells How to Dispose of
 the Pests.

The season for plant lice will soon be here again and with it the us uaI crop of questions whose burden is ''Whac shall I do for plant lice?" A well known horticulturiss who may be considered an authority on such mat 1ers, makes the following suggestions through The Republican:
 Buhach and pyrethrum are good on small lots of plants. A common name for pyrethrum is insect powder. Any druggist keeps it. Put once ounce of insect powder in three gallons Of water, that is a bucketfuL and spray the plants with q whisk broom. Or one part of insect powder may be mixed with two parts of flour and duSted with the mixture.
 Pyrethrum is easy and clean to han dle but it is too expensive for use on general field and garden crops. It's proper place is in the front door yard on OTnamentals or pot plants.
 Kerosene emulsion is cheaper and more thorough. Get half pound Of whale oil soap of druggist and place it in a gallon of water and boil until it dissolves. Take it away from the fire and add two gallons of kerosene. Stir the mixture now continually and thoroughly for about five minutes or until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed so that the kerosene does nCe float on top. Dilute with 15 to 20 parts water and apply with a spray pu,up
 This raises another point. Spraying is not generally introduced into this valley and spray pumps arc not com mon. Moreover it is rather dirty job to make and apply kerosene emuI- sion. Many persons would also con- sider it too great an expense to buy a spray pump when it would be used only few times each year. Someone who cared to do this kind of work by the job could doubtless pick up quite a little money by spraying peo- ple's ornamental and garden plants for them, furnishing his own outfit and knowing how to make and apply kcr- osene emulsion. Many Q person would give fifty cents or q dollar for spray ing their plants rather than to be put to the trouble themselves.

TURBULENT MOROCCO.
The Let of Worlds Policeman Does
 Not Attract America.

The proposition of the London Stat ist that the United States step in and
 police Morocco -5 Ct to make such youngsters as Senators Morgan and Bacon jump in the air ard crack their heels together six times before they
 come down; while the renowned anti impel iaIist and anti -Usurpationist, Tillman, can scarcely find words with which to express the thoughts that
 arise in him. And yet it is a plaus- ible proposition. Here is Morocco, a fat, juicy bone, over which the dogs are growing. There is a chance for war between the two powers most dI- rectly and selhshly interested. namely,
 Germany and France. and a chance al
 so of the other European powers be-
 coming involved. Here is the United
 States. the only party at the Alseciras conference that is disiuteTested in the issues and that is trusted by all, and moreover, that has a reputation as a
 peacemaker. Then, argues the Statist
 since the crux is the policing of Mo rocco and Germany and France are ar lOggerhcads, let the United States be induced to come in and undertake the policing of Morocco and preserve the peace of the world. It is hard to tell
 whether the suggestion is made in ear- Lltol O4 4o q IJrAt-- l-lOlSLl lllt RotuAttSL is a most serious and matter Of fac-
 Journal and never given to levity. Re
 membering our experience with Raisuli however. remembering the police jobs we already have on hand in both the Indies meanwhile keeping in mind the Monroe Doctrine and the advice of Washington, We do not believe that We crave the job of keeping turbulent Mo rocco in order. We have about all we can do to manage our own affairs. and if such 9 precedent should be made,
 who knows whithcr it would lead? There are other disorderIy spots in the old World. Perhaps we should be in vited to supercede Belgium in the Congo Free State in which she is ac- cused of being an unfaithful steward. Then there is that hornets nest the Balkan peninsula. We might be called upon to stand between Bulgarian and Greek and between them both and the Turks and Arabians and other antag- onistic clements of that troubled land. There is more truth than poetry in the plaint of the policemea's chorus in "The Pirates of Penzance." Taking one consideration with another, the poIceman's lot is not a happy one Tt may do on a small scale as in san to Domingo but to be the worlds po- liceman would be likely to be a par ticularly unhappy lot" ot."-Portland Press.

was to get business for the company
However that may be, some persons did
not believe this TO be true and were un-
charitable enough to think Tyree, who
was the father of the Insurance company,
had simply built up a fine machine for
himself that would shell out dollars into
his Golfers in large heaps after he got
his mechanism to going nicely. Be that
it may, the company is now striving

right with the public. Just what scheme

State Federation of Woman'S

State Products.

The board of directors Of the State Fed
Grafton of WOmen's clubs met yesterday
morning and took definite action in re-
gard to the proposed display of Utah
products at the next biennial in St. Paul.
The request to make two exhibits one
characteristic of WOman's industry in the
state and one of the pure foods nanufac q
tUred here, which was received recentIv.
was acted upon, and II was decided To
make the tirSt-named a fOur-fOld exhibit
of salt, sugar, silk and possibly honey
These were thought to be characteristic
of the state industries and at the same
time We're thought to be more readily
prepared than any other exhibits. The
silk industry, which is the one tvpicaI
womans industry of the state, is not i'm
a flourishing condition, but the directors
have no fear but that they viii be abIe
to make a sufficient display to be typi-
cal of the work
