1t is quite true that there is not
much farming in Arizona. According
to the census Of 1900 ctlly one-third of
l per cent of the territorial area was
cultivated. Since then irrigation has
added appreciably to the farmed area;
but, even so, you could bunch all the

Has a Mind of Her Own.

After the Mexican war Arizona and
New Mexico were coded by Mexico to
the United States, except Il southern
strip, which was acquired in 1858
through the Gadsden purchase. In
1868 Arizona was divorced from New
Mexico and became a separate terri
tory. The recent effort of the admins
tration to force. a remarriage was
something, as we have seen, not to be
'stoOd for" by Arizona, who has a
mind Of her own.
All things come to those who wait
long enough. Arizona has been knock
ing at the doors of the republic for
admission these twenty years past. In
1891 she went so far as to frame and
adopt a state constitution, but Uncle
Sam refused to accept her as a new
star. Politics, it is said, makes strange
| bedfellows. Politics has tried to make
bedfellows of New Mexico and Ari-
ZoDa-one distinctly American, the 9TH
err largely MeXican-but in this In
stance has not been successful.

some touch of originality so that she
will be able to know who she was
about to become at the time the pic
ture was taken.
The ideal picture desired by the wo-
man about to embark on the sea of
matrimony should have a youthful
ness, an uncertainty, a girlishness
about the figure and face that would
not be there had she waited for two
or three weeks after the ceremony,
dressed in the same clothes. and gone

It is a somewhat curious fact that
woman's face changes quickly after
her marriage. She may retain her
hearty. may become even more bea11-
tiful, but certain girlishness goes
quickly and is replaced by matronly
look, that though it may be bewitch-
ing, is not the right expression for a
bridal photograph.
The fact that the bridal bouquet, an
essential part of the makeup, will not
keep in good condition for more than
twenty-four hours is another good
reason for having the picture taken
just before the ceremony.
Moreover, there are likely to be
other little differences in the arrang-
ing of the hair, for instance, or some
other little detail that cannot be repro
duced exactly as it was on the all
important day.
And finally there is a sentiment
about being pictured as bride, ex-
actly what the picture purports to
show, that will keep photographers
busy in the next thirty days.
Photographers report many anus
ing experiences in this kind of work.

These are just a few of the delights
of those who take the tranquility cure
The tranquility cure can be taken
without spending much money. The
society woman who takes expensive
apartments in fashionable hotel, hir-
ing rooms all around her in order that
she may not be disturbed by her neigh
bors, finds the tranquility cure a costly
one. But it can be done none the less:
There is Boston authoress who in
variable comes to New York, the city
of noises, the town that is never fin.
ished, to take her tranquility cure.
Once a year she goes to an old-fash-
Toned hotel on Broadway, engages four
rooms and begins to rest. Her Suite
consists of her own room, which is the
room in which she takes her tranquil
ity cure, and the rooms on each side
of her. She also engages the room
overhead in order that there shall be
no noise at all in her neighborhood.
Here she lies for week or two plan
ming her thoughts, mapping out her
campaign and seeing nobody except
her maid.
