How Disraeli potter His Epigrams.

II had the honor once OF sitting next
to Mr.. Disraeli at s. dinner at Trinity
House." writes Lord Goschen in April
Putnam's. He had a bishop on one
side whom he did not like; so he IN
bent to me. a young politician. and made
three epigrams. each OF which struck
me as very good.
II was deeply interested seven years
later in finding all three. just as he had
used them to me, introduced in 'Lothair'
and 'Endymion.' The fact IS, he potted
his eplgrams. Let Tie tell you one OF
them He told me, ia a dramatic style

A Familiar Abuse.

A wOman's magazine has called to
the attention of its readers trade
abuse which ought to stand before
the eyes of every citizen with money
in his pocket. 1t is not substitution.
1t is bad enough to go into a store
for one article and have the clerk
try to put you off with another; but
the Offense in mind ss worse than
that. 1t is a thieving of good viii,
of public confidence builded by
years of honest dealing and gingery
advertising.
A man, by dint OF thought and work.
inVents an article of food, Of wearing
apparel for domestic use. He carries out
his conception; he gets It ready for the
market; he recognizes the requirements
of the land and pa. snts his article; he
Invests large sums OF money in letting
the people know about II. and he makes
a success. That IS. thousands buy the
result or the thought OF his brain, the
investment OF his money, and his hon
est, legitimate methods. Along comes a
man who has no brain wherewlth TO
conceive except TO trade upon the other
mans success, and 'fUneeda Biscuit
becomes 'Jac-a-lac;" "Cottolene" be-
comes 'Cottoleo;" Pears Soap" be-
comes Peers Soap" and so on.
Now, as pointed out, this imitator
does not need invent. He does not
need invest capital. He need not
even make good" His purpose,
and his only purpose, is to ride
through the market on the crest Of
a wave of public confidence begot
through productive and costly ad-
vertising and the customers fafnil-
iarity with the article he copies. If
his gold brick gets TO the purchaser
and he gets the purchasers money,
that is his only concern. He will be
out of the market after a few
months, and the original. not he,
must bear the brunt of the buyers
disappointment.
The remedy lies with the citizen,
OF course. He must know, as he
considers the position of the two
producers, which is the more likely
to give him a square deal. He is
almost sure to know out of his own
experience the financial penalty for
accepting the imitation. And if ever
he has any doubt whether TO buy
the article he has tried and found
good, or to buy "the same thing,
only a little cheaper" let him con-
slider the business methods which
have produced the latter and act ac-
cordingiy.

Gone to the Garden of Allah.

Miss Alice LOunsberry, author OF THE
Wild Flower Book for Young People, "

and other popular nature cooks, has
gone abroad for relaxation. II is not
unnatural that she should seek clImes
Tar aneld from the simple country
scenes that she has so well depicted in
her books. Her imagination has been
stirred by accounts Of the great desert
country, the scene OF The Garden OF
Allah and she will spend some time

The Most Famous Living Authors.

There are three distinguished authors
of the present day, who may be
grouped, not because of any resem-
olance between the work of any one
Of the trio and that of either of the
ether two, but merely because in the ex-
tent OF their fame they stand apart
from all others.'' writes J. B. G., in
April Putnam's.
They are Tolstoy Kipling and Mark
Twain. The one other living writer
who comes nearest these three in re-
nown is undoubtedly Maurice Maeter-
hnek. Il will not be long before the
Belgian VIII have to be ciassed with
the Russian, the Englishman and the
American as an author Of worldwide
Iepute- Having read his essay, 1.-THE
Social Revolution" I am struck by
the fact that two of the four men
above named have ranged themselves
with the disciples OF socialism. 1t is a
TACT not without significance, and one
mat IS perhaps calculated to bear other
than literary fruit"

Growing Haphazard.

Glenn, Brown presented in last
Sundays Times one of the most in
teresting and impressive answers
yet made to the question::
What's the matter with Washing
ton?
His case is fairly outlined in the
following paragraph:
II is evident that one answer is that
the Capital of the United States would
/. be more impressive and more prosper
Gus II II were more beautiful. To
achieve this end of greater beauty,
which is an ideal sought by every city,
would suggest that the people Of
Washington and the people Of the en-
tire country unite their efforts 10 have
. Congress establish an advisory board OF
! I'VE experts 10 consult with Govern
ment officials about the erection Of all
public buildings, the style and location
I % ali statues. and the development and
beautifying Of the parking system
Ample specifications are offered to
support this outline. Paris has
spent 5000, 0OO, 900 in developing its
opportunities for beauty and has
found the investment so profitable
she now contemplates the outlay of
S2O0, 100000 more. London has
Strengthened, widened, and built new
streets through thiclIIy settled sec
tions at enormous cost and found it
profitable. Rome-not nearly so
rich city as Washington-has
raised funds for an elaborate sys-
tenn of civic adornment. So the list
runs.
AS Mr.. Brown urges, the need for
action in the District of Columbia is
pressing.
1. If Rock Creek Park is not to
be a hodgepodge there must be

The Presidents Word.

Nowadays there is much comment
on the increasing power and pres
tige of the Presidential Office in this
country. The President has become
in a fashion the mentor of the na-
ton. He gives direction to its
thought. His speeches serve as the
precipitating agent which, dropped
into the turgid mixture Of diverse
and uncertain sentiment, crystal
Lies a Policy, which thereafter be-
comes the protege of that powerful
guardian, Public Opinion.
It is because of this striking and
comparatively new significance of
the great Office that every utterance
of the President is doubly impor-
tant, and that he is constantly IN
der pressure from all kinds of peo-
pie and interests to lay his hand on
the helm and give direction to com
munity tendencies. For this reason,
too, the President feels that it is
necessary that he shall give utter
anee TO no immature proposals, no
iIl-thought advice to the nation.
It is because a word from the
President has nowadays more
weight than a lecture from the
greatest economist, that the Presi-
dent owes it TO himself and to his
constituency to exercise care in Sc
lecting his words and the time of
their delivery. Right now he is be-
ing importuned to give some reas-
surance to interests that are con-
cerned in the securities Of transport
tation corporations. Under the
stress of stock-market CONFUSION,
effort is making to induce him
either to surrender or to modify the
program which he has been care
fully and thoughtfully developing,
looking to extension to the great
quasi-pubhc corporations larger
measure Of regulation, and to their
security holders a greater assurance
of the stability of their investments.
He has been urged to make a ''reas-
surfing" address by people who
would find reinsurance in nothing
short of stoppage of progressive,
constructive policies.
This is a poor time for making
such promises. If the President and
his advisers yield to the urgencies
of the financial cliques of Wall
Street, and decide to give any such
assurances" as viii please Wall
Street, they viii find that they have
given offense to the rest of the
country.
The Roosevelt administration
must go forward. It can neither
stand still nor go backward. If it
hesitates it may lose the banner of
progressiveism. The willing hands
of such men as Hughes, La Toilette
and Cummins are itching for oppor-
tunity to seize it and carry it for
ward. The safe thing to do now is
to sit tight, let the Wall Street spec
ulators worry out of the troubles
which look so large to them, but
which do not greatly trouble the rest
of the community, and await the
calmer days which viii be upon US
soon, when the needs of the situa-
ton can be gagged much more ac-
curately than now.

On the evening of November 2S, the members of the volunteer fire department will give dance at the new skating rink in Upper Tomb stone Canyon. which promises to be most enjoyable. For some time past. the members of the department have taken an active interest in seeing that the city is provided with an ade- Quate number of water tanks to be used in case of emergency and have given several entertainments for the purpose of raising funds to carry out this laudable plan. The proceeus from the coming dance will also be put into the fund to purchase tanks.

mAcHINIsTs ARE sATIsFIED.

FL PASO, Nov 1.-The differences between the Southern Pacific company and its machinists have been satis- factorily settled and everything is lovely in the shops. as far as the mat ter of the machinists' wages is con cerned.
 The conference held in San Fran cisco between the representative of the company and the grievance com mittee of the machinists has come to an end, and N. D. Le Baume. who was the member of the committee from the Tucson division, has returned home with the good news that a new wage scale has been amicably agreed upon. The machinists are to receive 46 cents an hour and work nine hours a day.
 The boilermakeTs also received an increase in wages per hour and a shorter work day. They will receive henceforth 4S cents per hour for a nine hour day.
 Although the machinists had asked for 4S cents. they were willing to make the compromises and the new scale is agreeable all around The machinists will receive 1e cents per day less than under the old scale, but they also work one hour per day less.
 The bosiermakers will receive IS cents per day less but they will also work a shorter day.
 A unique feature of the conference at San Francisco this year was that the union representatives made their strongest fight on the proposition of a shorter day Heretofore it has always been a demand for better wages with the hours remaining as they had been. This year. however, the machirists decided to ask for the shorter day and t6e boilern1akers also decided to put
