Star, Tucson: At ten o'clock this
 morning on the south step of the court
 house United States Marshal Daniels
 sold to the highest bidder 9 gold brace let set with large emerald and sew eraI small diamonds and a pair of dia- mond ear rings, which were forfeited
 to he government some time ago at Nogaies by Mrs.ssEannie B. Brent, as
 she endeavored to=bring them across the line without ayfng the necessary duty. The bidding was started by
 Tom Schuster, who offered two hun dred dollars for the lot. This bid was quickly raised and the jewelry was finally sold to Jonn Black the Con- gress street jeweler for S512. The case of the government versus Mrs. Brent was tried some time ago by Judge Doan and the bracelet and ear rings ordered sold. It was rumored here, however, that Mrs. Brent would appeal the case to the supreme court of the territory, but 1t Is believed that the report was unfounded. That Mrs. Brent forfeited the jewelry was mere matter of carelessness. She is res ident of Mexico and while visiting in Nogales, Arizona, crossed the line and purchased the trinkets. She failed to declare them upon returning to tn-s country and a few days later they were seized. It was the intention of Mrs. Brent to return to her home in Mex. ico for few days and take the dia- monds with her. If she had so declar- ed to the customs authorities, they would have. been passed frees- It is said the diamonds cost sI 800 Mexf- can money. .-....-.. z..

Stafford Guardian: Armed to the teeth, with blood in his eye, and har-
 boring deep-seated revenge prompted by insane jealousy, Jose Cortes struck | town Sunday in quest of his sweet
 heart, who had fled from Albuquerque, | N. M, with Dominguez Queries few weeks ago. He displayed his arsenal
 and publicly made threats against the
 lives of the erring couple in the Latin
 quarters of the city. Acting Constable 1 Hooks learned of the presence of the
 enraged Mexican in the city and few hours after his arrival mad him safely in the city bastile charged with car rying concealed weapons. This morn ling Cortes was formally arraigued be- fore Justice Fonla He entered a plea
 of guilty and was assessed fine ofS2o, which he paid The court ordered the gun confiscated and it was sold at auc- ton by the city marshal this morning. Shortly after the close of this incl tdent Dominguez Queries entered Jus tice FOnda's court He stated that l Cortes had persuaded the woman to leave him and to return with Cortes to Albuquerque, and he wanted the !court to issue an injunction restrain
 ing Cortes from taking the woman laway from him The reconciled couple
 was also in court to frastrate Queries
 in his legal steps. The woman stated
 to the court that she had lived with Cortes in Albuque rque for a number
 of years and tha. she dearly loved
 him. In an unguarded moment Queries
 had come between them and by mis
 representations and seductive prom
 ises had persuaded her to leave New
 Mexico with him and come to Arizona
 They first stopped at Stein's Pass
 and Queries becoming tired of her be
 came very abusive. She then wrote tf
 her former lover asking him to coms

 she might come to him. Queries learned of this action and compellet lfbe woman to come on to Safford wfti

Certainly Irish.

The rocking chair brigade were dis
cussing death and burial, their minds
having been directed thereto by the
passing of a funeral through the vii
lage street. Each one paused suffi-
GENTLY long in her knitting to describe
the kind of burial she would like, and
the place where she would like to be
buried. A recent but popular conner,
who is suspected Of having been
born in the Emerald isle, waxed en-
thusiastic over the cemetery plot
which she had bought for herself;
she described the beautiful flowers
she had already planted and the in
structions she had given to the Gene
terry gardener. She had gotten every
thing in readiness, and could die at
any time, knowing her grave would be
all right. Why she wound up,
when | die all | have to do is to walk
out there"

SHOULD HAVE SLEEP OUT.
Writer Objects to Custom of Accusing
Children Early.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, writing of
Sleep in the American Magazine, criti-
cizes boarding schools sharply for get
ting young people up too early in the
morning. He says: "A baby or young
child should have absolutely every
minute of sleep that it can be induced
to take, and %sleeplessness is even
more emphatically a sign of disease in
children than in adults. The necessity
and capacity for large amounts of re-
freshing sleep persists up to adult life
and the amount required seldom falls
below ten hours before the eighteenth
or twentieth year. To make children
or rapidly growing young adults get
up before they have had their sleep
out, and feel thoroughly rested, is not
merely irrational but cruel, and when
1t is done as a routine practice at
boarding schools, or other institutions,
by those who pretend to be fitted to
have the care of children it is little
short of criminal

The Art of Happiness.

The art of happiness consists in be-
ing pleased with little things. People
with great wealth or great power are
seldom happy. The leaders of the
world, great men or great women,
are seldom satisfied. The society
leader, with millions at her command
and the homage of many men and
women, rarely knows the happiness
that comes unasked to the young wife
or mother in humber circles. The
possession of money decreases the
power of enjoyment. A child gets
more pleasure out of a %sixpenny toy
than a millionaire does from a thou
sand-pound yacht. Sixpence has great
err value to the child than a thousand
has to the millionaire. The joys Of
life belong to the little people-the
quiet men and women who are salts
fed to live their own lives and make
little mark on the lives of others. 1t
is in the power of the least of us to
be happy and to make others so.

INFERRED IN STRANGE STYLE.
Man Who Wanted Books in His Coffin
Burial Robe of Scarlet Silk.

Sir James C%olquhoun, whose recent
ly proved will contains a direction that
his body should be dressed for burial
in evening costume, was one of many
men who have made unconventional
arrangements for their interment,
says the Westminster Gazette. One
Of the most singular of these tesla
mentary directions was that of John
Underwood, of Whittlesea, whose
body, fully dressed, was placed in a
green coffin. Under his head was
placed a copy of Horace, his feet rest
ed on B~entley's Milton" Bentley's
Horace" was placed beneath his
back, and on his right and left were a
third Horace and a Greek Testament.
Mrs. Margaret Cousins, of Cuxton, in
Kent, made her last journey attired in
a flaming dress of scarlet silk; and
a coal newer, Of Tong, near Leeds
Zone Jack Hustler), was laid to rest
with his head pillowed on a lump of
coal and with his pipe and tobacco
by his side.

One Cause Of prownlnn.

Renewed attention has been called
to the probable explanation of many
cases of drowning that was some
years ago advanced by DR.. Lowrie, a
British physician, as a result of his
W experience. After cycling.on a
hot day, he took a swim in cold water,
and was soon seized with headache,
dizziness and drowsiness, while mus
cular effort became feeble and slug
gish, In many similar cases, he be-
lieves, the swimmer loses conscious
ness-or faints-from cerebral anemia.
If there is no help near, the result is
another drowning accident, and the
report of it will probably state that
the victim was seized with cramps
and sank" Swimming in cold water
is dangerous if the circulation is weak
ened from any cause, especially after
a fast of several hours, or if there is
any heart trouble.

NIeknamss Of American cities.

A purely western designation is that

Unsalted Seas, given to it from its sit

Lake Superior. Another city which
derives its name from its situation is
North Adams, Mass, called the Tun.

one end of that great bore" the
Hoosac tunnel, which was so many
years in course of construction until
it's length of about four miles was
completed. Pekin, Ill.,, ~rejoices in the
title of the Celestial City, from the
fact that it was named for the capital
of the Chinese empire, Racine, Wis.

nature Of the articles made there. The
shoe City is Lowell, Mass, for a like
reason, as is Holyoke, in the same
state, the Paper City.

Hand Weaving BY crlnnles.

Consul Albert Halstead reports that
a number of charitable people in
Birmingham about five years ago
started a small hand-loom factory to
provide a useful and remunerative EN-
ployment for crippled girls. Many of
the delicate fabrics are artistically
hand woven in silk, serge and fax,
and the results are most attractive
The product Of the factory, which is
also a school in hand weaving, is ac-
curing a reputation for artistic merit
and quality, and the enterprise is now
paving its way. 1t seems to the CON
sui as if this Birmingham charity
should be of interest to people in the
United States who desire to help in
making cripples self-supporting and at
the same time in procuring textiles
of an attractive kind.

Three Certain Truths.

If the Bible had never been written
there are still three things that the
universe has stamped indelibly on the
mind Of man, wherever the Bible pre-.
walls and wherever it does not. Those
three things are the idea of God, the
conviction Of moral accountability, the
belief in a life beyond the grave. 1t
is the glory of our English Bible and
it is the glory of the Christian re.
ligion that they have expressed and
embodied these fundamental ines
capable ideas in a way that transcends
all other records and all other incar-
nations Of truth.

burg's thirty yards line. On the first
play they punted to Moore, who
brought the ball to the forty-fve yard
line. After two plays for losses, Moore
punted outside at the twenty-yard
line. On the first play, the Normal
ties punted to Roberts on the fifty
yard line and he brought the ball back
thirty yards. Cook went around
Kelly for eighteen yards, and then
Moore plowed through for a touch
down. Roberts failed to kick goal
The second score was mlde after the
most 5 ectacular pay ever seen here.
W~arrensburg kicked off, and, aided by
a ffteen-yard penalty, got the ball on
Wentworth's t~hirty-tive yard line.
An end run made by Miller and a Sc
ries of pluuges soon took the oval for
Wentworth's two yard line, The
Soldiers forwards then braced up and
held like d stone wall for two downs.
On the third down the two teams
stacked up again and then Ovens
emerged from the mass and ran the
length of the field. Miller, the fast
Warrensburg quarterback, took after
him and gained rapidly until past the
central chalk line. Then Owens
swerved from his course and Miller
fell to the ground in a heap. Moore
kicked goal. Shortly afterwards the
cadets scored again. Warrensburg
kicked off and by several exch nges
of punts and a fifteen-yard penalty
Wentworth got the ball to Normal's
twenty-yard line. After two i%neffect-
ual line plays, Moore made an easy
field goal from placement. Warrens-
burg received the next kickoff and by
two end runs returned the ball to the
center of the field. Just before time
was called Miller and Kelly executed
a brilliant forward pass for twenty
five yards.
Time was called with the ball in
possession of the Normals on Went
worth's thirty-yard line. Gooch and
Asbury, two of Normal's stars, were
out of the game. The Cadets were in
much better PHYSICAL cond tion than
their opponents. The lineup:

necessity as good barns, good
residences and good fences. For
the reason that they are paid for
in taxes makes the building of
them unpopular. If a man had
to pay for his new barn by hav-
ing the sheriff call on him with
the carpent's bill, there would
be fewer barns built, though
they would cost no more nor
would they be worth a cent less
to the owner. 1t is really not the
cost of good roads that hurts,
but it is the unpopular way Of
paying for them that keeps down
the cause. And why should the
manner of paying the bill make
any difference? But so wags the

But you needn't put off return

A man is always willing to
listen when he is in deep trouble.
Some people demand personal
liberty and then insist that it is
a license.
But, after all, those who are
only thankful one day in the year
are supremly selfish.
When a man wants an excuse
for meanness he usually begins
by criticising the churches.
Christmas kept with the pocket

the Christmas kept with the

son can not wear.

Faith is never forced.
Strong prejudices indicate a
weak mind.
No one ever gained force by
putting on frills.
You can measure any creed by
its fruits in character.
Your estimate of others is Of

He who does what he can, can
soon do what he would.
Some mistake coveting sins
profits for zeal against him.

Sacred things are those that

Hidden in every vice we plant
lies the seed of our own punish
ment.
You cannot win men from
glistening sin by gloomy saliva

The venomous tongue cannot
cover its guilt by calling it can

The abuse of worship as an
end does not prevent it's value as
a help.
One of the worst hypocrits is
he who appears. to. prosecute sin
while he is accepting it's retain

There is not a little comfort in
remembering that the man who
poses as an angel goes to join
them shortly.
The man who tries to preserve
