 Eastward and northward is broad fiat across which the Salt river and Tonto creek flow to mingle their va ters just above the mouth of the gorge.

 "A quarter of century ago this par. ticular region wss the haunt of Geron. imo and his band of murderous Apaches. The big chief has been ex. fled. but his people still live there. Owing to the scarcity of labor the su- pervising engineer turned missionary and held powwow with the Indians. Such was his eloquence that several hundred Indians went on the govern ment payroll. They proved to be good workers and were in no small degree, responsible for the prompt construc- tion of the Roosevelt road. Later on they were tried on canal work and on concrete mixing and were not found wanting.

 of Pessimism.
 The new boy is singularly delicate piece of mechanism. He has grown up in a period alleged to be strenuous. He puts on trousers at an age when his father was wearing kilts. He plays football. which the president says is . sure cure for mollycoddleness and poltroonery. And yet he is such delicate creature that 1t is hard to train him to anything. He can't stand discipline, and everybody and every thing has got to be disciplined or de- generate.
 The present boys father didn't have football and he didn't have Roosevelt and he didn't have some other thin0 that are supposed to develop hardI- hood. But he could be handled Wifh impunity and to his own great a1van- tage. His father could take him ous in the woodshed and apply the shingie or the strap. with no result except tho youngsters improvement. When ho cut up at school the schoolmasteP 
 could fog him. and the only result was that he took more pains not to bo caught. He ate everything he could get hold of: he had bully good tina. except for brief intervals of castiga- tion. and wasn't bothered with any philosophy of life But his son is c very different kind of . boy.

COSTLY RAZ0RS.
Some Gold Handled That Sell For $50.
Handles Of Silver and of Ivory.


Handles Of Silver and of Ivory.
If man we're content to shave him
self with razor having a hard rubber
handle, as indeed most men are, he
could buy one with a blade Of very ex-
cellent quality for a dollar, but there
are razors far more expensive than
this.
Thus there are sold razors with han
dies Of 18 carat gold and Of plain
smooth finish that bring $50 each. A
pair Of such razors in a plain silver
box can be bought for hundred dol
lars.
But $50 is not the limit Of what one
may pay for gold handled razor. ii
the handle were deliberately chased It's
cost might mount up TO twice that, OF
5000 for pair.
There are also sold, among those
more expensive, silver handled razorS
which range in price from $3.50 tC
$50 each $3.50 being the price for one
with a plain silver handle, while those
more costly have their handles more o.
less deliberately chased or carved.
A man who did not altogether ike
hard rubber handled razor might hnC
his fancy suited with one having
handle of ivory, and an ivory handed
razor need not necessarily be eXpen
sIve. A razor with plain ivory han
die can be bought for 50. OF cours
any carving would add to the cost.
Costly razors are usually sold 10

The Axial Rotation Of Venus

For over two centuries it was gener-
ally accepted that. like the earth, the
planet Venus rotated on its axis in
little less than twenty-fOur hours, but
since Schiaparelli after long and care
full observation of the planet suggest
ed that the actual rotation period was
between six and nine months astron'
omers have devoted much attention TO
this matter. In the Observatory Mt.
Denning sums up the available evil
dence Oh the point and can only con-
clude that this particular problem still
defies solution Life on Venus would
be very different from life on the earth
should the planets avail rotation be-
as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with
the period of it's revolution round the
sun. as in that case the same heml'
sphere would always be turned to TIE
sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the
opposite hemisphere would be doomed
to eternal night

CLEOPATRA.
The Story of Her Death From the Bite
of an Asp.

The Story Of Her Death from the DIS
Of an Asp.
II is admitted that Cleopatra killed
herself to avoid being exhibited at
Rome In the triumph of Octavius, who
had made war upon her and Antony be-
cause the latter had divorced his COc'
tavIus1 sister on the queens account
But did she die from a snakes DiteE
II Is better to think not. IF her death
had been caused by any serpent, the
small viper would rather have been
chosen than the large asp, but the
story Is dlsproved by her having deck
ed herself In the royal ornaments ana
being found dead without any marks
or suspicion Of poison on her body"
Death from a serpents bite could not
have been mistaken, and her vanity
would not have allowed her to choose
one which would have dlsfgured her
In so frlghtful manner.
Other polsons were well understood
and easy of access, and no boy would
have ventured to carry an asp In q
basket of figs, some of which he even
offered to the guards as he passed, and
even Plutarch shows that the story or
the asp was doubtful. Nor Is the statue
carried in Augustus triumph, which
had an asp upon 1t, any proof OF his
belief in it, since the snake was the
emblem of Egyptian royalty. The
statue Tor the CROWN Of Cleopatra
could not have been without one, and
this was probably the origin Of the
whole story

A Penny Saved.

When BENJAMIN Franklin wrote "A
penny saved is a penny earned" ne
did not mean penny skimped from
our daily living or from our necessi-
ties. That is not "a penny saved In
the hes. sense. 1t is a penny stolen
from your elf \ penny saved Is
penny rescued from waste. An hour
taken from needed sleep is not an hour
saved, but an hour stolen. An hour
taken from idle gossip and turned to
some good accOunt-that is an hour
saved. And it is the same way with
our money and our products. There Is
no economy in self denial 1t Is the
duty Of every man and woman to live
the fullest and best life possible, TO
get the most they can out of life, TO
nourish the body and mind and soul
and to develop them to the highest
possible degree. This cannot be done
by skimping. Economy Is necessary
but we must not mistake what econ
my is. We must save the wastes,
stop the leaks; but, having saSed, we
must put our savings to some good use
Else we are like the miser with his
.Eold-a detriment to society instead OF
a good.-EXchange.

Deaf pnns Are Rare.

People have been known to excuse
watch dogs for derellction of duty on
the ground that the dogs might De
hard of hearing. This excuse ougnt
not to go. A veterinary surgeon OF
Cleveland remarked that In his thir-
ty-five years experience he had never
heard of a deaf dog. His remark led
TO inoniries among two or three other
yeterInaries and not one had ever
heard of a dog that couldn't hear.
When watch dog or any other dog
doesn't hear man that Is prowling
about the house it is because 1t doesn't
want to hear. Horses are frequently
treated by veterinarles for DEAFNESS,
and even cats are hard of hearing oc-
casionalIy, but deaf dogs seem to De
