Senator s. =. Elliins denies that
Charles W. swisher and Arnold G.
scherr had confab with him at his
home a few days ago with the result
that arrangements were made for
swisher to step down and out of the
gubernatorial race. The story look
ed fshy and as it was not accompan-
led by any reasonable explanation
and as nothing dropped after it came
out, no one took any stock in it.
Some persons have an idea that
about all United States senator
has to do Is to crook his finger and
everybody will fall into kow-towing
positions and line up to suit him.
There seems to be mistaken i'm

this position Is sort of provincial
king-ship and that our state and ma
tion are getting away from a demo-
cratic form of government and near

such tendency. Ii all comes from

Army Desertions Due 10 Pay,
 not 10 0anteen

When Prohbitionists during the past six years, have pointed out that the abolition of the can teen was not the cause of the de sertions from the army, some of the daily.papers took violent issue with them.
 Now comes a special dispatch from Washington, dated July 2Sth, to this some daily press, stating, as great discovery, that the ire quent army assertions are due to the small pay given the United States soldiers. This pay, it de velops, has not been increased in fifty years. Canada, Cuba, and other countries are found to pay their soldiers for more than Un- cle Sam, so says the dispatch. Data is being gotten together to make strong case to Congress that the real reason for the

DIDN'T PURCHASE THE MINE.
Prospective Owners Knew Not Where
 to Get Pack-Train Needed.

The secretary of an eastern com pAny that some time ago was anxious to purchase a silver-lead mine in the northwest tells of an amusing incident in the negotiations for its purchase. As the ore assayed well and every thing looked propitious, a mining ex- pert was sent to examine the mine. His report was favorable, too favor able, in fact, and aroused the sus- picions of the would-be purchaser; so 1t was determined to investigate more closely. At this point well-known mining man of Butte recommended that certain rough-and-ready genius should be sent to look at the mine. You can deepnd upon his judgment" the mining man said. You can trust to his report, which in all probability, will be brief and very much to the point" The advice was followed. As predicted, the report was short and pithy. It read substantially as fol lows: Gents: l have made an exam ination of the K mine, and report that the ore Is there as represented; that it assays high; that it is there in plenty: but to get your supplies in and your ore out, you will need pack train of bald eagles. s."-EIarper's Weekly.

SHOULD, HAVE SLEEP OUT.
Writer Objects to Custom of Arousina
 Children Early.

pr. Woods Hutchinson, writing of Sleep in the American Magazine, criti- cizes boarding schools sharply for get ting young people up too early in the morning. He says "A baby or young child should have absolutely every minute of sleep that 1t can be induced to take, and sleeplessness Is even more emphatically sign of disease in children than in adults. The necessity and capacity for large amounts of re- freshing sleep persists up to adult life and the amount required seldom falls below ten hours before the eighteenth or twentieth year To make children or rapidly growing young adults get up before they have had their sleep out. and feel thoroughly rested, is not merely irrational but cruel, and when 1t is done as routine practice at boarding schools, or other institutions, by those who pretend to be fitted to have the care of children it is little short of criminal"

 She was a faithful and loving wife anC mother, devoted to her home ana family, loved by all as was evidenced by the large crowd that came to pay last tri- bute of respect at her grave. The largest procession that has been known in Prescott in years fol lowed her remains to their last resting place. The funeral servic- es were conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. A. Highsmith, assisted by Evangelist J. J. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor, wife of the evangelist sang sweetly, Sometime We'll Understand" the words of which are quoted below.

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.


The North American Indians OF the
western coast have a tradition that
roses were created without thorns,
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness of
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given its glory of roses, but in every
place there we're animals which
sought the bushes to deyour them,
and and tribes of roses were in dan
ger of becoming extinct. In their ex'
tremity they held a council, for in
that faraway morning of the world
plants as we'll as animals had power
to speak To the council all the
roses came, and each had a tale to tell
of suffering and disaster. At length
it was decided to send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
of the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were manned
and torn and had suffered most, 9th
ers also were sent who were tall anC
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun
Gil discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes, beauty might pre-
vail in their cause.
The conference was long and grave
At its close an armory of thorns was
given to every rose, and thus were the
tribes of roses delivered from the en-
emles.-Circle Magazine.

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME,
Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.

Students in sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success Of young men
of country districts. There has been
no denying Of the fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards a pastoral lie,
but it is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation of corporations and
trusts for the control of various in
dustries. In other words, the cen
tralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing Of bust
ness in mercantile lines on a small
scale
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns Of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increaS'
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
sent themselves for the exercise OF
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les, and the little village Of to-day
will be the large city quarter cen
fury hence. Almost every town ar
fords the progressive young man
! chance for business success. Oppor-
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
! may possess favorable to manufacture
ing along certain lines. The oppor-
tunities for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog
| ress of the towns. Heads Of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro-
fessonal life. Ties of kinshtp are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away
from them In this is discovered a
reason why residents of a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town The more
