 Practice a Common One.
 Little things like that are calculated to sour a man on the whole job, and yet l am told that the practice is quite common. l have been burning with indignation over the matter all day, and want to assure you that 1 will never stoop to such contemptible deceit or my constituents--at least not until af- ter I get into the Senate. The next time you see Judge Rigby you might intimate that I am anxious to- have him succeed me In the House. in case Nm successful in capturing senator Horton's toga.
 The question of clothes is bothering me some, Mary. Convictions on the subject of simplicity in dress go all right at Hollingsdale. but they just .press you into it here, and l have no desire to be conspicuous by dressing differently from other members of the Congress. You remember how we used to applaud Senator Joe Bailey of Texas for his refusal to wear full dress. Well, he has come to 1t, and looks like cer- tified check when logged out in his evening clothes.s We were talking over the subject in the cloakroom the other day, and I propose to profit by some of the experiences related. Two of the members from Missouri decided last winter that they would attend one of the Presidents receptions, and, of course, had to dig up the evening clothes. They came from that Ozark Mountain country where 1t is as dan gerous to put on style as 1t is to call man a liar. and they had no inten- tion of ever trying to wear such clothes at home So they decided to rent suits for the occasion. One of the men Is built on the Gothh style of architee- ture, while the other Is as slim as a Democratic chance fin Vermont Well, the dealer got the suits and Addresses mixed, and when the two Missourians showed up at the reception all they needed was few false whiskers and slap sticks to complete their makeup as a blff-and-bang team at a variety theatre.
 Champ CIark's Experience.
 Champ Clark tells me he hesitated a long time before he wore his dress suit al his home in Bowling Green, al- though he had used 1t here until he got so 1t didn't make him feel like a mon key. He was billed to lecture in his home town one night and decided to try the full-dress suit on his neigh bors. He had a nice little speech fix ed up to the effect that such dress was practically demanded in Wash ngton out of respect for the society and ofTicial folks. and that no people on earth were any better or more enti- | tied to respect than the good people of | Bowling Green, &c., &c He didn' t have to make any defense. His folks gave him a mighty hearty reception and accepted his dress as compliment | To his audience, So I am going to have

 But it was all right. Eagerly pac. ing the platform of the city station was the bent. toil-worn figure that, in spite of shoulders bowed by sixty-five years of hard labor, seemed strangely young and soldierly. Juliets eyes fil. led with tears as she saw grandmother go toward him fin her pale gray dress, with the face beneth the gray hair as bright and shy and loving as a girls. She was going to work hard. grand mother who had been so carefully sheltered all the last years of her life. But who would not work hard with the man beloved rather than live in lonely case.

of eight. If she pined under the inae- tion. nobody noticed it. They did not see her so very much. Every member
 of the family was required to make
 periodical visits to grandmothers room.
 James wife was very strict about that,
 But the visits were very short and rath-
 CT formal. They were such busy family.
 James Jr. and John were in college
 and high school, and their minds were
 full of important masculine affairs.
 James himself was so immersed in busi- ness that even his wife did not see him much. Georgia was having her first season out, and all her thoughts were taken up with gayeties about which grandmother was supposed 10 care nothing. It was only Juliet who ever
 took time to sit on the stool at grand mothers feet and chatter to her Tn the
 way grandmothers love. Yet even Juliet had very little time for grandmother. sha was engaged to be married. and. what with the thorough course in housewifery which James wife com sidered 1t the duty of an engaged girl
 to take. and Dicks frequent visits she was very thorougly occupied.
 So 1t came to pass that grandmother was very lonely. In her dear old shao-

 One November day the maid brought
 her up a letter which the postman had just delivered. It was on one of those rare occasions when the whole family
 was assembled in grandmother's room

 Juiia's life a burden. Grandmother
 opened the letter and sudden tear came to her old eyes, for the writing was one she had known well in for mer days Painfully stiff and precise. | each letter formed with a care that took hours to complete an epistle, and yet cautiously shaky and trembling, the very penmanship spoke eloquently 10 her of the man.
 | He was the man who as boy had | buckled her first clumsy overshoes ana Ihauled her to school day after day on his home made, red-painted sled. His fife since had not been an easy one. | He had worked hard, painfully hard, | but one after another his possessions | had slipped away from him. It had not been his fault that one thing failed after another. It was always through | tho fault or mistake of somebody else I some one whom he had helped or trust ed.

STATEHOOD FORCES ORGANIZE AND

Frame Sound Platform and Name Able and Strong Candidate fer
 Delegate to Congress.

In accordance with a call made by the Statehood League of Ari- zona, there assembled at Phoenix, in the Doris Opera House, Mon day, September 17th, 1906, a body of representative citizens from all parts of the territory, to register a protest against the manner in which both parties have united in an endeavor to check the rising tide of sentiment in favor of state hood, and to place before the peo- ple nominee to carry the message of free government to all parts of the territory.
 The convention included earnest, devoted men, who have the cour- age of their convictions, and fear not to express them to the world. The action they have taken, and the declaration of principles they have presented stand for the best interests of the people of Arizona. A comparison Is challenged with the declarations of the other par ties, and contrast is invited of the nominee with the other two.
 The convention was called to or der by General Thos. F. Wilson, president of the Statehood League, who was made permanent chair man; and Messrs. D. M. Penny of Pima county, and Dr. J. w. Floss of Maricopa county, were made permanent secretaries.

taken from the workings on all of them have made very gratifying showings
 Nearly fifty assays taken from the workings, the ore dump and the surface. upon the ledge in the claim named National No. 3, free milling gold ore, have shown an average exceeding $16 per ton. And in that ledge there are thous- ands of tons of that kind of ore, ready for stoping. Eighteen assays made from National No. 1 have averaged more than $4l per ton. A few assays from the Hummer vein have averaged $4.S5 per ton. Even the latter will pay to work, on an extensive scale, as the rock is soft, friable, and easily mined and worked, and economically as well. The ores from the other two are also very soft and easily worked.
 Assays made from the Chance mine, which is the lead-silver proposition, have shown average values of $25 per ton. Those ores run about 50 per cent lead, which is calculated at two cents per pound in the computa tion-about two-fifths of the market value. The remainder of the values are in silver.
 From the Silver Glance ledge ten assays have averaged more than $40 per ton. The copper shown goes as high as Is per cent, and most of the returns show about one ounce in gold The balance of the values are in lead and silver.
 The best assay from the Silver Glance is $64.77; the best from the Chance mine is $33.37; the best from National No. 3 is $262.84; the best from the National No. is $14S.59, and many assays gave very small values, but at a depth of three feet the average of the vein was $75.00. The ore vein on National No. l can be traced the full length of that claim and near ly across the adjoining property, a total distance of about half mile. The pay streak will average from eighteen inches to two feet in width. Upon the National No. 3 the vein is more than four feet in width on an average, and shows up on the surface not less than 700 feet. The Galena vein on the Chance mine runs over into the National No. 1, and makes sur face showing fully 2,000 feet in length. In the Silver Glance the ore cannot be traced on the surface, but wherever broken into the ledge shows values. Experts who have examined the property assert that the indications are unerring that great body of rich copper ore will be encountered at no great depth. The work done on these claims is extensive, and is continuing with out cessation.
 The projected railway from Mowry to Calab basas will pass close to these properties, and the erec- tion of great reduction plant at the latter named place will give a market for their ores.

GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT
BISMARCK WILL ENTERTAIN In
i. FINE SHAPE THE REPRESENT
ATivEs OF THE VI VS.
GRAND ARMY AND LADIES or.
THE RELIEF CORPS IN y
JUNE. ..

1t is unfortunate that the sickness
of his daughter in New York has
called Department Commander Joseph
Hare away from the state at this time,
as there is heap of work to be done
for the Grand Army encampment
which is to be held in this city June
~ and %, and some misunderstand-
ing has resulted with regard to this
session.
The Tribune has been requested to
announce that Mr.. Hare will be home
in few days and all tangles will then
be satisfactorily Strengthened out. In
the meantime the ladies of the local
Relief Corps are rapidly getting plans
in shape for the entertainment of the
delegates and others and the Tribune
can confidently say that the coming
encampment will be made most enjoy.
able for all who attend. 49, .-
The Bismarck Commercial club
will not be behind in furthering any
plans that may be made for the city's
guests on this occasion and has al.
ready outlined arrangements to that
effect.
Corporal Tanner, commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army, will attend
the encampment and it is probable he
will be accompanied by other Of the
national officials of the order. Appli.
cation has been made to the railroads
for one-fare rate to the encamproent
and it will probably be granted, IN
which case one of the largest meet.
ings the G. A. R. has held may be
looked for. There need be no worry
about Bismarck doing her share to-
ward making the encampment a great
success, and as soon as Commander
Hare returns he will probably issue a
general order setting all doubts al
rest. Bismarck will be pleased. tc
welcome every old soldier in the state
and every member of the Relief
Corps, and it goes without sayins
that the Slope metropolis will. as
usual, be equal in every way to The
great occasion.
