1t is a beautiful story. for sorrow is
often beautiful in one aspect. and though
it is not an entertaining story. lacking
smiles. and with its pages appearing to
wear a grim and austere Puritanical ex-
preston, it leaves the reader at its fine
conclusion with chastened feeling, a
better feeling. after all. for human nature;
with firmer belief that there is goodness
Of soul. seif-sacrihce and loving Kindness

The novel Is not one that can ever hope
for popularity IN the sense in which that
word is used nowadays, but il has very
high merits and cannot fail TO appeal

4 Troublesome Comma.

From tho London Chronicle
One more instance of the power of pune
tuation. Even a comma may play the
very deuce. Not many years ago a dis
tinguished graduate of oxford decided to
enter the Nonconformist ministry and TO
wear no sacerdotaI garb. And he an
nounced this intention in a manifesto con-
tanning the words: I shall wear no
clothes, to distinguish me from my fellow
Christians" That delightful comma made
him the laughing stock of the university
and the JOY OF the picture shops, whose
windows were flooded with Illustrations
of the Rev. X. Y. u. distinguishing him
self from his fellows Christians.

 Why? Well. hundreds of bacteri- ologists labor every day and all day in Washington to find means of prevent ing diseases in hogs. Do anything for man? This much: The government spends more in one year for the bac- terioIogy of hogs than for the bacteri- oiogy of man in twenty-five years.

If one at all familiar with Arizona will scan her listed resources for a moment stop and think of their pos sible development. he must admit that the future wealth of the territory, or state is almost inconceiyable.

 The market today is quiet, little change in prices. Butte & Arizona has certainly made a turn and is climbing up. 70 cents is freely bid. The rest are inclined to sag The recession predicted has set in. A new proposition that is placed on the market here is the Gold Eagle Mining and Development Company The prop erty is in the Altar district. The president is a well known Sonora mining man and Mir. J. w. Reel who is attending to business right on the property. The first block of 10000 shares is offered to the public at 15 cents and the stock will advance in price with each offering. The initial price puts it within reach of all. The friends of Gold Nugget have determin' ed to have operations resumed on the property as soon as possible and an effort is being made to raise the funds right now. All it requires is a pull altogether. For this purpose the stock is offered at 20 cents.

Nearly all stocks are showing lower prices than at the close last night and it looks as if the slight rally of the past few days had passed.
