pRoFI1LEss TO SAVE
Instances of Where Their,
is Nothing Gained in Trying 70
Save Something.
Save Something.

Chicago Tribune: One of the char
acteristics of a careful housekeeper,
a careful workman, OF a thrifty per-
son of any kind was once scrupulous
attention to saving every bit of ma
terial, raw or manufactured. With
the improvement of mechanical pro-
cesses the time has come when ma
terial things, nee costly, are cheap
er than human labor. The youth who
paused to pick up a pin on the side
walk is no longer the type of thrift,
but the man who values his time too
highly to waste it on a trife. A rea-
son given by good authority for an
increased consumption of nails in
this country in that formerly a work.
mar on a ladder would get down and
pick it up; now it is cheaper to save
the workman's time and let the nail
go.
Thomas A. Edison wears a cheap
watch. When it wears out he throws
it away and gets another. A watch
"a be bought for 81 which will keep
good time for two or three years. 1t
would cost more to repair it than to
buy a new one. A pair of smoked
glasses can be bought for a quarter.
1t would take 81 worth of an opti-
broken lens in the rs cent pair.
Children's clothing can be bought
ready made at less than the retail
price of the material and when the
clothing is shoddy it is cheaper to
throw it away than to hire a seam
stress. A woman who loves to sew
counts her time as worth nothing
may save money for her family, but
"a woman may often do more for her
family in other ways than in sticking
to the needle all day. To keep abreast
of the worlds thought, to be an in
|tellectual help to her children, to Gull
|tivate pleasant social relations which
may be useful to her family, to keep
her health and strength SO that she
may be a companion in their joys and
sorrows is worth more to them than
the few pennies saved by exhausting
toll, except when there is desperate
poverty.
Sometimes there is an exception
to the principle that time is more
expensive than matter. The p~ostofice
department has just ordered mail

THE CANTON ASSEMBLY
The Big Summer Meeting of the Can
ton Epworth Assembly Will
Open July 9

Canton's Famous Epworth League
Assembly opens July I'd and closes
on the 14th. 1t is indeed a brilliant
array of talent that will greet the
assembly patrons this year, including
United States senator's and govern
ors, and among the latter is the cell
ebrated governor of Missouri, Joseph
w. Folk, and among the former is
Wisconsin's senator, LaFollette. Be
sides these there r many other men
of national reputation including ex-
Senator Dubois of Idaho, and ex-
Governor VanSant of Minnesota.
There will be three noted special
lists in the moving picture line, COW
ering the wilds of Alaska, Nome and
the Klondike, the storm swept coasts
of the east and the we'll known and
famous Robertson, who has hereto
fore filed the big auditorium night
after night to see his wonderful life
like creations. Added to these SPLEEN
did attractions there will be noted
singers and musicians, including the
famous Tennessee Jubilee Singers.
The Diamond Medal" contest will
be a brilliant affair. Seven ladies and
two gentlemen, all medal winners,
will contest for the beautiful prize.
None of the prominent speakers
will attract greater attention than
Senator Kittredge and Governor
Crawford, and the people will enjoy
hearing them both, because they are
likely to be leaders in the great SEN
atorial battle that is to take place
next spring. Governor Crawford
speaks on the 10th of July and Sen
ator Kittredge on July 18th.
Then there is DR.. Guy Carleton
Lee, the great orator and historian,
known and appreciated on both sides
of the Atlantic; Alan A. Tanner, CO.
laborer with Mayor Golden Rule"
Jones; DR.. Thos. Nicholson, DIR. F. B.
Gault, DR.. Daniel McGurk; The Olaf
Valley Concert Co., and Ross Crane,
cartoonist.
Every day and every night the
auditorium will ring with the plaud-
it's of admiring thousands, and none
should miss the glorious feast of ora
tory, music and fun.
1t is generally admitted that it is
the best and strongest program ever
provided for the assembly.

clerks to unite and save Irvine used
in tying bundles, instead of throwing
it away. For years it has been con-
sidered cheaper to let it go, but the
rise in the price of jute and hemp to
double former prices makes it seem
to the department better to save the
Irvine. 1t may be doubted whether
this is a real exception. The figures
showing the total amount Of Irvine
used during a year are formidable,
but economy in the use of Irvine is of
even greater Importance to the sue
cess of the postal service.

We're Turned On.

For the mast tiuie In her histor
nation THAI MAS a great Credit 10 III,
effort made in that direction. Til,
i'm ps,rtance OF The convention o
travelling men lead the city council
to indulge IL this piece Work InC
the Work was we'll done.
1t has required quite u good dea
of work to arrange for the iliuini-
nation u it has taken a great deal
of tine TO complete it but it was all
done late Friday afternoon and the
globes WERE tested.
The wires were strung on both
sides Of Main street from Railroad
street to Fifth Avenue, the tele.
graph poles being utilized for this
purpose, the wires being placed
about ten feet above the sidewalk.
At each street intersection wines
were run diagonally across and they
we're arched over the street cross
ings. Shortly after dark the lights
were turned en- and a brilliant scene
followed. Standing at either end of
the street and looking through the
thoroughfare it vas something to
excite the admiration not only of the
Mitchell hut the hundreds OF visitors
as we'll. The incandescerH globes
used were Of red, white and blue and
the %variegated colors further EN-
HANGED the beauty Of the lights.
The visitors we're free to confess
Mitchell has shown the best display
OF illumination OF any city in South
Dakota, and in fact is the only n
that Ever attempted anything on such
an elaborate scale. The Mitchell Gas
Co. supplied plenty OF power to
furnish the electricity to make the
illumination a perfect success and
Manager White said that they still
had plenty of power in reserve, aud
could Lave run even 1000 more
lights, Notwithstanding the load of
the theatre and the corr palace,
both of which were 10 use. There
were fully 1000 incandescent lights
on the street.
The wires being now in position it
has been suggested that arrange
ments he made at once to keep them
on the poles until corn palace time
and have the same kind of an iIumi-
nation Through the entire week. 1t
would be a big drawing card if this
could be done. The only one
element Of weakness of corn palace
week, II weakness it can be called,
during all the years that 1T has
been held, is the absence OF any
street illumination and with 1T it
would contribute vastly to the sue
scess OF corn palace. 1t is hoped that
this matter will be taken up at once
and arrangements made If possible.

DR.. WILLIAM DRISCOLL DEAD
One Of socorro's Old and Most High
ly Respected oitisens succumbs
to Long Illness.

Doctor William Driscoll died
at his home in the northeastern
part of the city Sunday evening
at few minutes past ten o'clock.
Though long and tedious ILL
ness precluded all surprise at the
sad announcement, the commu-
nifty was none the less shocked
and expressions of sorrow and
sympathy were none the less
abundant. Doctor Driscoll had
lived in Socorro a great many
years and had established him
self in the respect and esteem of
very large circle of friends and
acquaintances.
William Driscoll was born in
Indiana sixty-two years ago. In
1873 he went from there to Kan
Sas and went into the drug
business. Eight years later he
leeded the warning of failing
health and came to New Mexico.
He engaged in the drug business
for a year over in the Black
Range and then, in 1882, came
to Socorro, where he has resided
and been engaged in the drug
business ever since. Doctor
Driscoll became Mason at the
age of twenty-four years. He
was later a charter member of
the Royal Arch chapter at
Howard, Kansas, and for ten
years was Grand Representative
of the Grand Lodge of Kansas
He was u charter member of
Socorro chapter No. 8, X. A. NJ.
and was also a member of So
corro Lodge No. 9 for fifteen
years or more. The funeral
Tuesday afternoon was conducted
under Masonic auspices, and the
remains were laid to rest in the
Masonic plot in Socorro cemetery.
Doctor Driscoll was married in
Kansas in 1875 to Miss Addie
Willis. In her grevious loss
Mrs. Driscoll now has the keen
sympathy of the large circle OF
her husbands and her own
friends, the chief feature of
whose rememberance of him
will always be one of profound
respect.
