SLAVERY IN CHINA.

Savage Cruelty Mctcd Out For the
Most veniai 0Tenscs.
Says an editorial in the Peking
Times: THE position Of the slave girl
in Il Chinese home is a very hard one as
a rule. These slaves are generally the
property Of the wife, and no one inter-
feres with the mistress in her treat
ment OF the poor little things, who will
as often as not be subjected to the
most savage cruelty for most venial Of
fenseS y few weeks ago we recall
case Of great hardship being brought
into the mixed court, Shanghai, in
which a small slave girl had been gag
gad with a piece Of iron ard severely
beaten because, when half starved, she
helped herself 70 some scraps Of food.
"OUr attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from a
house near Canton road and are said to
proceed from a little slave girl who for
some reason is beaten almost daily
with a thick knotted rope, but for what
reason is unknown.
"Our informant thinks a word in
public, showing that the incident has
been noticed may suffice to check the
cruelty without lodging Il formal COM
plaint with The municipal police, which
might make matters worse for the poor
little sufferer In the long run"

QUIT GRUM8LiNG.

Cease Worrying Over the Inevitable
and Court Contentment.
How full the world is of grumblers!
Many of the same people who scold in
summer because it is warM scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter. Neither is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. If the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined. 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old if we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in
evitable. The truly happy are the hap
py go lucky, who take everything as it
comes and make the best of it.
If it rains, all that is left to do is to
put UP our umbrella. if we are so fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery will, if there is something
within US too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly ON the kings chariot
wheel, Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue is to take what comes along
and be glad it is no worse.

Kalir corn are to be fed the earlier

maturcd the greater relatively is the
benefit obtained from feeding them.
Corn s,la@c. on Juc other hand, should

are confined to the paddocks or feed
lots they are ready for going ON heavy

will be asked to authorize the issue
of S2O,OOO,OOO new stock, of which

the rate of one share new stock at

President Coffin states that the
business during the eight months of
the current fiscal year has been 30
per cent. greater than during the
corresponding period last year. This
necessitates a larger working capital.

The Territorial Fair.

The various Clifton people who at
tended the territorial fair have re-
turned home, and they all speak in
the highest terms of the fair. 1t
was by far a greater success than
the first fair held one year ago.
Arizona people generally regard it
as "their" fair, and all sections of
the territory have contributed to-
wards its success. 1t addition to the
Arizonans present thousands of
strangers were there from all sec
lions of the United States. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than fifty thous-
and people were in attendance dur
ing the week. The only criticising
heard is that the city of Phoenix
was not prepared for such gather
ing, and was therefore not able to
properly accommodate such an i'm
mense crowd. The fact seems to be
that the fair has outgrown the Capt.
tai City, but the enterprise of the
citizens will now assert itself, and by
another year no doubt the aceommo-
dations will be ample.

CLIFTON MAN In
VERY SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Arrested at Duncan On Charge of At
tempted Assault on Young Girl.

George Haigh, for many years a
resident of Clifton, was arrested
at Duncan Tuesday night by Deputy
Sheriff Gus Hobbs for alleged assault
upon the person of his adopted
daughter, who is between thirteen
and fourteen years of age.
Haigh and the girl left Clifton
Tuesday morning for Duncan where
the girl was to have been placed in
school. The accused secured two
rooms in the hotel at Duncan, and
during the night the landlady was
awakened by the cries of the girl.
She Immediately sought the assist
ance of Deputy Sheriff Hobbs, who
broke open the door, and finding
Haigh in the girls room promptly
placed him under arrest, and locked
him up in the local Jail.
In thesmorning the people became
greatly excited over the alleged
outrage, and for a time it appeared
that there was danger of violence
towards the prisoner, but wiser coun-
sci prevailed, and the people decided
to let the law take its course.
The district attorney was notified
ana is now at Duncan, where the
preliminary examination will be held
today. Frank Lame, of Clifton, is
also at Duncan to see that the ac-
cused man gets a square deal.
For the past eight or ten years
George Haigh has been one of the
hardest working men in Clifton, aud
has always been well regarded by his
neighbors and the public. He is at
times somewhat eccentric, and re-
Gently he has been drinking hard,
which may in a measure account for
the trouble he is now in.
His friends in Clifton hope that the
many reports are untrue, but if they
are substantiated he will receive no
sympathy in this community.
The ERA will reserve comments on
the case until after the preliminary
examination has been held.
