in Japan an aspiring youth can adopt
some man of eminence as his father,
and immemorial custom compels the
person thus honored TO take and care
for the founding, at least until he
comes to the age of self-support. In
1896 the fame Of the Democratic can
didate penetrated TO the cherry groves
Of Japan and fired the ambition Of a
young student.

The message aroused some natural

Is very careful about her ehurn. She Scalds it thoroughly afterHsing, and gives it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the butter that is made in it. The stomach Is & churn. Tn the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro- cesses which are exactly akin to the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it?
 The evil of foul stomach is not alone the bad taste in tho mouth and the foul breath caused hy it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the disSem- fnation of disease throughout tho body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes tho sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and Sun hath do for the churn--a absolutely removes every tainting or corruptlng elc- ment In this way it cures biotches, pimplcs. eruptions, scrofulous Swellings, sores. or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

Southern Arizona Soil.

Arizona, the land of desert, aridity, and believed to be abso- lutely without plant life thirty years ago, is rapidly developing rich resources of the soil.
 Wherever water can be applied there we have remarkably rich productiveness.
 Sections of Southern Arizona produce the finest oranges, lem ons and lines on this continent, as we'll as other semi-tropical fruits. Our gardens produce the most luscious cantalonpes and melens anywhere to be found, and which come into the market several weeks earlier than in any other region of the United States. The finest wheat pro- duced anywhere is given forth by Arizona's soil. The grain is as round and plump as an egg and without shrivel. Other cereals come to the same state ot perfection. Forage grasses, es- pecially alfalfa, grow most luxu- riantly and to the highest state of perfection under irrigation and cultivation and produce a larger tonnage to the acre per annum than can be found in any other region.
 Until recently cacti and other plant life of the desert have been looked upon as absolutely value less, and now it has been discov- cred that several species of the cacti will produce fine quality of denatured or industrial alec hol at a very low cost. The Guyala shrub, which has been recently discovered to contain large percentage of rubber GOV CTS many thousands of acres o- land of Southern Arizona, and i is claimed by some that it vii

 These are a few of Arizona
 products of the soil which ar,

 and when generally known vii

The Editors Hard Lines.

The following is from an uni dentined source,
 ''If the editor makes mistake he has to apologize for it, but if a doctor makes one he buries it. If we make one there is a law suit, swearing and the smell of sulphur, but if the doctor makes one there is funeral, cut flow CTS and smell of varnish. The doctors can use word 8 yard long without knowing what 1t means, but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another mans wife he charges for the visit, but if the editor goes to see another mans wife he gets charge of buckshot. Any medical college can make a doctor; you can't make an editor-he has to be born. When & doctor gets drunk it's case of overcome by heat, and if he dles it is heart trouble. When an editor gets drunk it's a case of too much booze, and if he dies it's Q case of delirium tremenS.

Did Not Belong to the Army.

Mrs. Albert l.. Mills, whose husband is the superintendent of the United States Military Acad emF at West Point, is known throughout the army for a fund of pertinent anecdotes of the service. In a party which in cluded prominent officers of both the army and navy, she recently told this story:
 ''It was in the South, and a colored minister of the Metho- dist persuasion was pleading with one who was not member of the flock.
 Oh, my dear brother,' he begged, why don't you come with noe an join de army of de Lord?'
 "'I done already belong to de army of de Lord,' insisted the negro.

The recent visit of the president to
his sons who are being educated in
New England has impelled biograph'
ical statistician to look up the careers
of the sons of former presidents, with
interesting results. Twenty-one sons
of the presidents reached maturity,
nine of them have held prominent po'
sitions, and all but one or two have
been substantial citizens. A son OF
John Adams became president and a
grandson was a member of congress
and minister to England. One of Lin
coins sons was a cabinet minister and
a minister to England, and one of
Grants sons has had a distinguished
career in diplomacy and in the army,
Two of Garfield's sons have risen to
fame, one as a college professor and
the other as a cabinet minister. The
son of William Henry Harrison was a
man of great influence in his own
state, and became the father Of Ben
jamin Harrison, so that he was the
son of one president and the father OF
another.
