The girl without a brother is espe-
cially to be pitied. She is the girl who
is never certain of getting the pleasures
Of life unless she is very attractive. or
course, she has no brother who she Is
certain will take her everywhere: she
is apt to get little bit vain, for she
has no brother to tell her, as only a
brother will, Of her faults and mistakes.
1t is only the somewhat doubtful tact
Of brother that announces Il wouldn't
walk ND the street with you in that
frock.''
And the girl whose brother says this
to her may be certain that he is only
expressing the opinion of other girls
brothers.
He may not do 1t in the most gentle
way, but he does tell the truth, and II
you ask him why paying visit to an
other girl is more desirable than to one
you know, he will sit down and look at
you, and then he will say-"Well. you
see, it is just this way. From the time
you get there she is nice girl. who
gives you a pleasant welcome and yet
don't gush over you. She is entertain
Ing, and yet she has fashion Of put
ting down nasty gossip or silly talk
among whoever is there. She is a
restful sort Of girl, she is not always
wanting to do something that tires you
half to death and where the game isn't
worth the candle, and when she says
good-by to you, you feel certain that
she is pretty glad you came, and that
she will be glad to see you another
time; but that she doesn't look upon
you as the one and only man In the
world" That is the kind Of descrip-
ton that the brotherless girl can't get.
Then she doesn't hear of men that
fellow would rather not have his SIS
ter to 60 with, and she is very apt, poor
dear, to make few little mistakes.
Probably the wisest course for her to
pursue Is for her to choose as her most
intimate friend girl who has wise
brother; then she can reap the benefit
Of his counsel.

The Eternal VIII.

There is nothing we cannot overcome.
Say not evil instinct is inherited.
Or that some trait Unborn makes thy
whole life forlorn,
And calls down punishment that is moi
merited.
Back of thy parents and grandparents lies
The great Eternal Will. That too, il
thine
Inheritance-strong, beautiful, divine;
Sure lever of success for one who tries.
Pry up thy faults with this great lever
Will.
However deeply bedded in propensity,
However firmly set, tell thee firmer still
Is that strange power that comes from
truths immensely!
Thou art part of that vast world,
say.
Its forces lie within thee, stronger far
Than all thy mortal sins and frailties are
Believe myself divine, and watch and
pray,
There is no noble hight thou canst not
climb;
All triumphs may be thine in times 1u-
turity,
If whatsoever thy fault thou dost not faint
or halt,
But lean upon the staff of Gods security
Earth has no claim the soul cannot con-
test.
Know myself part of that eternal source
And naught can stand before thy spirits
force.
The souls divine inheritance is best.

SENATE PASSES navy
APPROPRIATION BILL

Washington, June 6 - The senate
yesterday took up and passed the naval
appropriation bill. There was no dis
cussion until the provision for new
monster warship was reached. Sena-
tor Hale said that the provision was
different from most legislation for new
ships in that it makes no limitations
in any respect. He said that the pro-
vision is loosely drawn and it would
take six months t, make plans for the
vessel. He also said that the final
cost Of the vessel, armor and arma-
ment included, would be about $780,
600, 900, or twice that Of the Ores on.
Senator Tillman thought it time to
call halt in the increase of the cost
and size Of vessels.
1--WE are getting bigger and bigger,
like the frog that tried to emulate the
OK" he said, land if we don't look
out some day we will pop"
The only important amendment to
the rate bill requires the secretary Of
the navy to submit plans for the pro-
posed big warships to congress before
proceeding with it's construction. The
bill carries an appropriation Of $780,
lit, $40.
There is no doubt that the rate bill
will be sent back to conference. SEN
ator Tillman admitted that some Of
the changes made in conference cannot
be justified under the rules. but said
that they had been necessary in order
to make the bill harmonious.
The senate voted to indefinitely
postpone joint resolution providing
for an amendment to the constitution
which would permit congress to enact
uniform marriage and divorce laws.
The resolution was reported adversely
from the committee on judiciary BY
Senator Nelson.

Hiding Her Love.


1t may not be unmaidenly Of a girl
to love before she is asked, but it is
certainly unmaidenly of her to let the
fact be suspected. And did she real
ize how quickly she drops in the APP
probation Of all who know her, she
would certainly be more circumspect in
her behavior. Unfortunately, some
girls do not scruple to do all they
can to attract the man upon whom
their choice has fallen. Instead Of nj
lowing him his prerogative OF wooing
and winning, an infatuated girl will
show him only too plainly how very
welcome are his attentions.
1t Is not surprising that onlookers
pour scathing criticism upon tho girl
who BY her own conduct robs herself
OF the Joy Of being ardently wooed

posing long after be has reused kin

Decided Also to Exhibit Resour-
ees Of All Countries Bordering
On Pacific Ocean, as Well as
Those Of Alaska and Yukon
Territory.

Seattle, June 4.-From this time on
every true Alaskan, every believer in
the Yukon territory and every one i'm
oued with the Seattle spirit is expect
cd to get out and talk Alaska Yukon
exposition" to be held in Seattle
Juno Q to September so, 1909.
Al meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the exposition another long
stride was taken in exposition affairs,
and its actual date and scope settled.
These two features summarized mean
that the fair will be opened on the
twentieth anniversary Of Seattle's fire.
and will embrace not only q full ex-
ploitation of Alaska and Yukon re-
sources, but will include those of all
countries bordering on the Pacific
ocean, together with its islands.
The matter of site for the fair was
also brought up, as we'll as q move to-
wards securing temporary admins
trative home for the fair.
Another result of the meeting ia
that today will see the formal request
made to the GOVERNOR Of Alaska and
the lieutenant governor Of the Yukon
territory, that these officials immedi-
ately appoint an advisory board of
twenty Ave members from each of
these districts to take their part in the
organization and work of the exposi.
ton.
Primarily Pacific Exposition.
Il was the general opinion of the
committee that while not in the full
sense Of the word worlds fair, the
exposition should nevertheless be big
one. and that while devoted to Alaska,
the Yukon and the Pacific ocean, all
states and countries of the world
should be invited to participate.
In the matter of site for the expo
sition it was decided to announce
through the local press that the local
committee desires the submission in
writing of recommendations for sites.
The committee desires to hear from
everyone interested suggestions for a
suitable site for the fair, and the rea-
sons for such preference.
The ways and means committee will
meet on Tuesday and take up the mat
ter Of raising the necessary funds for
the exposition and subscriptions to its
stock.

view that. since jointure is already hopelessly defeated, there is nothing for the county convention to do with it.
 The statehood question is the over shadowing one in the minds of the great mass of voters. Many of them will have preferences for certain can didates for county offices. Some of them will regard the success of their friends among the candidates as of vital importance, but the great body of the voters feel no personal interest in the fortunes of any aspirant for of fee. It is the great body of voters to which the convention must appeal in plain, strong and uncompromising declaration against joint statehood in practice and in principle.
 The democrats are preparing to do this They have been desirous from the beginning of making statehood a party issue, and in the event of county republican apathy, born of the cer- tainty of the defeat of joint statehood, anyhow. the democrats would make the question a local issue and go before the voters on it. They would put the candidates of the republican party in the attitude of defenders of jointure, or, a. the best, weak-kneed and insin- cere opponents of it. They would point eloquently and, we fear, effec- lively. to the fact that the late joint statehood convention was made up wholly of republicans. That they were disgruntIed republicans. weak in nu- bers and influence. the voters would not he told.
 Such a presentation of the case could not be satisfactorily met by the declarations of candidates on the stump. The convention is the only place to put them before the voters in the proper light. They should have nothing to explain away; they should not be put into the position of apol- ogists for the dereliction of the repub- lican party in Maricopa county.

THE COMING OF NR. COOPER.

Hon. w. F. Cooper, the republican candidate for delegate to congress, is infusing unbounded confidence into the republicans of Arizona. Wherever he has gone unwonted enthusiasm has sprung up. The republicans of Mari copa county should not wait for his coming. The enthusiasm should be ready to be unbottled on his arriva' and he should be given such a recep- ton tomorrow as was never before accorded here to a candidate.
 Mir Cooper, who is an interesting and rapid-fire talker, ought to be heard tomorrow by every republican in the county and especially by every man, democratic or republican, who may have any lingering doubt on the subject of joint state-ood, which the candidate regards as the principal matter before the people.
