WEDS WHILE FATHER
 RACES TO STOP HIM

DENVER, Colo, October 4.-Despite the objections of his parents and the fact that he is not yet of age, John D. Connor Jr. and Cristina Neil were mar ried today by Father oDnohue while John D. Connor ST., the young man s father, is speeding westward from Buff falo, N. Y., in the hope that he would arrive in Denver in time to prevent the marriage. When young Connor yes terday first announced his determina- tion to be married his mother hurried to the marriage license bureau and an nounced that her son was not of age and that she would not consent. Hear ing of this, Connor became angered and declared he would carry out his inten- tions regardless. Mrs. Connor then ap- yealed to Father Donohue, the Cath ollie priest, to decline to perform the ceremony. Young Connor, going to the courthouse today, swore under oath that he was of age and secured the license. He then hastily proceeded with Miss Neil to the residence of Father Donohue, who at first refused to per form the ceremony, but finally waved aside the mother s objections and unit ed the couple.
 Connor ST.. promises to take his son over his knee and administer a sound spanking when he arrives, according to advices contained in letter.

MAIL FOR 1900 PEOPLE
 C0NGESTED PHOENIX P. o.
Weeks Accumulation for Employees of Ringling's Show Keeps Stamp
 Cancelers Busy

The arteries of the Phoenix postoffice have been clogging up for the past week or so, with surplus amount of mail addressed to circus people, and Monday the postoffiee cleaned its sys- tenn of a ton of it, more or less, says the Republican.
 It is something the average man prob ably never thinks about, but when Ring. ling's circus appears at the general de- livery window and asks if it has let ter there is apt to be something doing on the inside for a while. Constantly moving, all of the 1900 people who get letters have to give their correspond ents the route ahead so they can have the letters in waiting as they come along. Naturally, the larger towns along the route are made the greatest Repositories, so that when the circus arrives there is an accumulation of several days mail. Most of the em- ployees get letter once in a while, and the professional people as we'll as the circus management, get lots of them. It is. therefore, about like it would be if all of Tempe would stay away from the postoffice for week and then all

The Delegate Thinks That New Mexico Will Make Ef- fort to Enter Union Alone Teddy is To Strike
 Make or Break Blow

"The coming congress-" said Dele gate Marcus A. Smith to a Phoenix Democrat reporter, "is going to be one of the most eventful for many years. It is the last congress that will convene before the presidential election and there will be many plans laid by the politicians to advance the interests of both political parties.
 'The democrats, of course, will have vigilant eye on the republicans and the republicans, being in power, will be held responsible for their acts by the people.
 'Just what will be the outcome is hard to tell, but I think that the sun is shining brightly for the democratic party and that just beyond the horizon there is great victory.
 "The republicans are divided among themselves. Roosevelt is tramping for ward to dangerous ground, expecting a third term, and the other aspirants are in reality fighting him and not Taft.
 "It is reported that he will have a remarkable message to present to con gress and that there is going to be some radical propositions.
 "What they are is merely guess work, but it is certain that he is going to strike blow that will either make him

 Statehood, v continued Delegate Smith; "well, that is hard proposi- tion. New Mexico will undoubtedly make some kind of a move to gain ad- mittance. She is now trying to get in as a single state, and it is whispered around that the president has promised his support to single statehood bill.
 "Of course, any action I shall take on the matter will be taken after I am more fully acquainted with what the republicans contemplate doing about New Mexico, and l am not now in a position to say what would be best for the territory. But you can say that whatever is best for the territory shall do and l will leave no stone un- turned to advance the interest of our splendid territory"
 Delegate Smith is looking well and is in the best of spirits. He is in Phoe- nix with view of ascertaining the sentiments of the people and preparing for his work iu the next session. He will remain several days.

 LOS ANGELES, Cal, October An dependent oil companies fear a greater shortage than ever of tank cars for the shipment of their product from the southern California fields. The South. ern Pacific has just placed 300 new ears in service in this section, but the name of the Associated Oil company has been painted on all of them, which indicates that the railroad will not distribute them generally, but has given entire control of their shipping facilities to the Associated Oil company.

All Cutting SaWina.

Knives, no matter how carefully sharpened, are little saws; the grind ing away of the steel, done by the stone, is not an even work, but when the edge gets thin is process of tear ing away tiny bits of steel by the grit of the stone. This tearing makes the teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth, a coarse stone coarse teeth A carving knife, used on meat, is sharpened on a coarse stone or steel, and has coarse teeth, although it's edge is thick. It's action in parting the meat is more that of saw than a fine wedge. No mat ter how soft it may be, it will not cut easily unless it is drawn over the meat and not simply pressed down. A razor, however, with it's paper-like edge, will cut into flesh with a simple pressure-it iS wedge dividing the fibers of flesh just as wedge of iron divides the fibers of the log it splits. But razor is a saw, too, only as 1t is ground on the finest stones and later finished with leather strop, it's teeth are very fine indeed-hundreds and hundreds to the inch of blade.-St Nicholas.

DEAD MERCHANT
HE SOMETIMES DRIVES TRADE AWAY FROM THE TOWN.
HlNDRANCE TO LIVE MERCHANT
Are as Much to Be Feared az the Competition of the Catalogue Houses-ShcuId Be Awak-
 ened or Buried.

Why should the home merchant be patronized instead of the mail order house? The subject has been ex- hausted almost and from all points of view and all sides there is no valid reason why the merchant at home should not-excepting two, price and articles wanted.
 It is not the intention of the writer to jot down a pleasant flow of lan- guage or to produce an interesting bit of reading matter, but merely to state in few simple sentences what have seen and learned of the competition be- tween the catalogue houses and the home merchants. In the first place no one community suffers greatly in this competition. That makes the problem all the more difficult in solution. 1

No effort is made to show you an arti- cle; nothing is ever taken down from the shelves unless directly asked for. Neither hardware nor furniture man acts willing to get what you want if he does not have it in stock. And again neither one of these stores believe in advertising. They use no space in their home papers; newcomer would never know the city possessed such places of business enterprise. Who ever heard of country hardware or furniture store having a special sale, or harvest sale or the like? But why not? These two storekeepers are bit ter against the mail order houses. I wonder why? 1 talked with the rail- road agents in that little city and he said lots of hardware and furniture was shipped in. He said, One day I made out an express order for $34 to pay for bill of hardware. I told the man to go up and see if the merchant couldn't fill the order He went but soon came back, saying that he didn't have half of the stuff on hand and that he wouldn't cut a bit on what he did have"

from shelf-worn goods. These lnan make the humblest customers feel well come in their stores, and particular at tention is paid to waiting on children giving them even better measure and quality than their elders would re- ceiye. And these men are advertisers Their ads in the local papers are changed regularly and show time and study. They meet the mail order man more than half way in special sales and clearing of odds and ends. Here is au instance where there is no legi- timato excuse for a person sending away after goods. And the people do not. Very few articles of general mer- chaHdise are shipped into that city. The buyer and seller are working in harmony to their own betterment and advantage.
 But look at the other side The city which we have in mind has one hard ware and one furniture store. Both have fairly good stocks for the size of their circle of trade, but just step into either one of these stores. The pro- prietor may be in the back room or the back yard for all you know, but by and by some stir is heard and leisurely he makes his ppearance-neither store has need of clerk-and probably with some grumbles about being disturbed, asks what is wanted. There might as well be placards in the store announc- ing Buy what I've got and keep still'' and We are busy, don't disturb us"

mean by this that the majority of buy CTS in no one community purchase by mail. The business of the mail order house is scattered over large terri tory, the number of orders coming from any one community compared with the whole is comparatively small to the number of orders in the town. There is an exception to this in a com munity where the home merchants are dead ones and ask eXhorbitant prices.
 To illustrate There is little city in the central part of Wisconsin, beau tiful little place, with it's shady streets and pleasant homes. It has several general stores owned by live wide
 awake merchants, who are hustling for business, yet are always pleasant and ready to visit with a customer. They are not put out at any time to show goods, taking down bolt after bolt of cloth and maybe then not making even a five-cent sale. They take that as part of their business; they are always willing to send post-haste to the city for any article they may not have in stock that is wanted by customer;
 their stocks are up-tO-date and free

Wonderful Stories About the Steeds
 of Famous Men.

In his letters to Lord Granville, pub iished by the Royal Philosophical so- ciety, who was also greatly interested in natural history, Smithson, the founder of the Smithsonian institution in America, relates how the horse of Alexander the Great, Bucephalus, would at night, on hearing a blast of the trumpet from the soldiers on guard showing the approach of the enemy, run at great speed to his masters tent and with his teeth grab the sleeping monarch and shake him until he sprang into the saddle and galloped toward the enemy.
 Also that the great Caliph Haroun-el- Raschid in the eight century in march ing towart. the forces of Queen Irene of Constantinople constantly had a number of trained Arabian horses (di- rect descendants of the famous horse owned by Ishmael 4000 years ago) thrown forward as scouts, who from time to time returned to camp apd by

At the Play,

A young man was arrested in Man haitian theater recently because he laughed at part of the play where excuse for mirth was supposed to be entirely absent, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He was convicted and fined, but we trust his case can be carried higher up, on appeal. It would be a joy to have definite and decisive ruling as to the public display of the individual sense of humor. If to laugh when others would be silent be mis- demeanor under the law, how would it do to jail and fine some of the paper" claque who applaud a dull play that other auditors desire to damn?

a peculiar whinny and neigh reported the proximity of the enemy.
 But, to come down to the present day, it is related by retired New England clergyman, whose sands of life had nearly run out, that one day on leading his horse down through a lane to brook for drink the animal suddenly halted and, turning it's head round, grabbed up with it's teeth one of it's hind shoes which had just dropped off, and, holding it in it's mouth with the nails dangling, it backed up against stone wall and clapped it onto it's hoof and with a few violent kicks nailed it on again.
