JOHN MITCHELL
Ihe announcement that John f.
Mltcnell, the laber leader, is sick, means
more to this country than the sickness
or any of the country's millionaires
would mean, or the sickness of any
member of the senate or the house or
OF the supreme court. John Mitchell
Is greater man than any of our high
potency politicians. He is a real force
for good in this country. And his force
comes because he is known to be fair. |
He has the confidence of both labor and
capital He is kind and faithful-sim- |
pie enough virtues, bat rarely seen. |
The boys of this country should haveJ
men like Mitchell pointed out to them |
as models rather than men like Har- |
riman. If more were to succeed by |
kindEess and fewer by brute force, this |
would be a better world. And it is to |
make it a better world that we are all |

THE GREATEST WOMAN.

. Wilbur Nesbit being asked to say
who in his estimation was, or is. the
greatest woman in the world, replied
promptly: 1.-THE unknown who in
vented apple pie. She was and is and
ever will be the woman who has done
more than any other to gladden. the
heart of man." Undoubtedly, Mr..
Nesbit's tribute will not be relished
nv that section of the feminine which
resents the implication that gladden.
ing the heart of man constitutes wo-
mans chief mission or crowns her
glory. To invent an apple pie for the
sake of cheering the heart or capti-
waiting the appetite, of man will seem
an unworthy accomplishment in the
eyes of some WIN are suspicious for
the sake of the sex. Yet it may be
nsensible to the attractions of a good
apple pie; and it is further to be
borne in mind that the invention of
the apple Pie presupposes in the in
ventor virtues and talents of the high
est order. No mere frivolous femi-
nine or weak-brained woman could
have ever devised the apple pie. She
was, without question. a well-poised,
clear-eyed. clsar-headed Individual.
with an intellect for organization and
tho apotheosis of womanhood could
have invented apple pie.-New Bed

HAVOC OF THE FAMINES
In this era of peace congresses and of |
much talk concerning methods of pre-
venting war there is timely reason and |
urgent need for giving thought to the |
prevention of famines, or. more accu- |
rately speaking. the immediate and |
disastrous famines now prevailing. the |
one extending through several provinces /

Cosmos.

cosmos is beautiful, grown in a To-

seed terminates freely, the plants
grow with great vigor and if the sea-
son permits an abundance of bloom

towering strain of dwarf cosmos has
been on the market for several years
and each year there is an improvement
IN size and color. Cosmos flowers are
borne on long stems, in the colors
white and red, the latter in several
fine shades. The foliage of the plant
is fine. Seed should be sown in gentle
heat in the greenhouse, hotbed or win
dow early in April. The young plants
should be transplanted when two inch
es high, being set well down in the
soil, with at least three inches allow
ed between plants as they are very
likely to become spindly if crowded.
When danger of frost is over set them
out in a warm, we'll sheltered position,
three feet apart. After the plants start
into growth pinch out the top to in
duce bushy growth. If situated
where the wind can whip them, they
should be supported by stakes.

nonplussed by the ingenious questions
sometimes propounded by her young

a vision of angels descending and
ascending a ladder extending from
heaven to earth. One inquiring young

This is a shrub that blooms freely
early in the spring at time when
there is not an abundance of bloom In
the garden. The plant Is almost COW
cred with clusters of panicles of pure
white flowers above the leaves, the
contrast giving a striking appearance.
This shrub grows to height of about
four feet and is equally satisfactory as
a hedge plant in the mixed border or
as a specimen plant in the lawn. It is
easily kept in neat form by a small
amount of pruning which should be
done after the plants bloom. It is
perfectly hardy, of easy culture and
rapid growth.

Information While They Waited,


The president of the faculty of a
medical college once addressed a
graduating class with reference to the
necessity of cultivating the quality of
patience in their professional, as well
as in their domestic relations.
The professor said: Gentlemen,
you are about to plunge into the
sphere of action No doubt you will,
in some degree. follow the example of
those who have preceded you. Among
other things, you will doubtless
marry. Let me entreat you to be kind
to your wives. Be patient with them.
Endeavor not to fret yourselves under
petty domestic trials. If you are GO
ing to the theater, do not permit your
self to become excited If your wife is
not downstairs in time. Have a
treatise on your speciality always with
you. Read it while you are waiting.
"And, L assure you, gentlemen"
the professor concluded, with delicate
irony. you'll be astonished at the vast
fund of information you'll accumulate
in this way."-Success Magazine.

ARE ADDING ID WORKING FORGE
 IN SONORA
Big Shipments of Mules Are Being Made For Use of Con Struction Camps On Harri- man Lines In Sonora.

TUCSON, April lG.-A shipment oi seven carloads of mules from Califor' nia for the Randolph lines in Mexico was received here today. The mules will be used in the construction work of the Southern Pacific in Sonora, in building the line from Guaymas to Guadalajara. with the branch lines which will be constructed.
 A fair idea of the vast operations of the Southern Pacific in Mexico, which are directed from Tucson by Colonel Randolph can be obtained from the fact that during the past week forty carloads of mules have been shipped into Mexico to be used in the grading and general construc- tion work.
 As is true of all large undertakings, considerable difficulty has been ex- perienced in securing laborers anu also in securing horses and mules and as a result the price asked for these animals is very high
 In the hope that the labor difficulty might be solved, a number of Japa- nese and Russians have been secured and they will shortly arrive at the port of Guaymas.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN
 MEXICAN MINING LAWS

Official advice has been. received at the Mexican consulate of the change of some of the clauses in the Mexican mining laws One of the most import ant is the one relating to denounce- ments. Under this change the cost of denouncing will be lessened, en- abling the prospectors to take up larg- CT claims and do development work with more convenience before they are certain the claim will pay.
 Another item of considerable i'm portance to the person making appli- cation for mining claims is to the ef- feet that an effort will be made to have each state issue the corresponding ti- tie, instead of having to go to the City of Mexico This will throw of so much work in the issuance of titles that in all probabilities the titles that now take from eight months to year, would be issued from the state in from three to four months

EDWARDS ID BE MANAGER OF
 RESORT
Resort on Fl Paso & South western Will Be Model Place to Spend the Summer-Bis- bee Man Will Be In Charge.

Manager W. L. Edwards of the Copper Queen hotel returned yester day morning from Fl Paso where he has been in consultation with General Manager H. J. simmons of the Fl Paso & Southwestern with reference to their plans for CloudcDft. the sum mer resort in the mountains in New Mexico on the eastern division of that road.
 According to the plans which have been submitted by Frost 6 Frost the Fl Paso architects who have drawn them, Cloudcroft is to be elegantly appointed and comfortably equipped
 From the main entrance of the new hotel building, the guest will look down a vista 200 feet in length. the background of this view being a wide open fireplace of the old-fashioned sort, the kind that will take a small tree trunk for fuel. It will be at the end of the dining room, spacious apartment forty by eighty feet in size. connected with a kitchen forty by fifty-two feet in its dimensions.
 Approximately S20,O00 is being ex- pended on the enlargement and i'm proVement of the Cloudcroft hostelry and there is not to be "cheap unins in its makeup or furnishings.
 Twenty rooms for the help take but a part of the big basement under the main building. Ten heat cot tages surround the hotel and accom-. odate the greater part of the guests while twenty-two tent houses will suffice for many who wish to more nearly approach the outdor life in their stay at Cloudcroft.
 Billiards and pool for the men in the evening are amply provided for, while golf links and tennis courts all newly gone over and made better than ever before, appeal to the native of hot Fl Paso or monotonously wild and rough Bisbee.
 Over the entrance of the dining rOob. this year will be a neat bal cony for the musicians who will fur nish music for the resort. A deer park is new feature of this years CIoudcroft. Five wild animals have been captured and are already in con finement within the park More will be added later and gradually other animals may be put in to give the park the appearance of a big menag- erie.
 Manager Edwards will go to Cloud croft shortly before the coming of the season which is set for June l.

'SCOTTY' COMING ID PHOENIX

He Writes a Resident of the Capital City That He Will Stop There On His Return From Eastern Trip.

PHoENIX. April 16.-John J, Sidell of this city. yesterday received a let terday from 'Scotty." the Death Val ley miner. Mir. Sidell never met "Scotty," but he has a friend, Dan Shaw. at Rhyolite, Nev., the head quarters of the mysterious miner, and who is also a warm friend of MT. Shaw.
 The letter shows that "Scotty" has given more attention to the digging of gold than he has to the subjects of penmanship and English spelling, in which he tends toward the sim plified style.
 Speaking of his worldly affairs, he says he has plenty: he has enough to buy another railroad train, but he does not need one in his business un- til one comes along and breaks his championship record from Los An geles to Chicago "Scotty'' writes that he is about to leave for New York, and on his return will cune to Phoenix, though he does not say for what purpose. When in New York "Scotty' does not waste his time about cheap or second class hostel ries. for he directs MT. Sidell to send any communications he may have for him, to Walter Scott, the St. Regis. New. York City"
 'Scotty," when he is not actively engaged in taking gold out of his un- discovered mine. is in the show busi. ness. and it Is on that business, prob ably, he is coming to Phoenix.
 The following from -'The Bullfrog Miner,- illustrates the jealousy with which he guards the source of his wealth: "Haggard and travel stained, Mrs. Walter Scott. wife of the ire pressible 'Scotty,' arrived in Rhyolite Sunday night, from Death Valley. disappointed woman.
 For over six years she had been promised trip into the valley with the vain hope that she might behold the mysterious mine or myth or what ever it is, that has given her husband worldwide fame. But he weakened out in the mid-desert at the last mo- ment, and after leaving Mrs. 'Scotty' alone for six weary nights and days with bacon, beans and a pool of water with which to sustain life and faith AuA ohtPhCAN NO GliSblCH dm dA coyotes, 'Scotty' returned to camp with mysterious bags filled with heavy substance of some kind, and then he drove straight to Rhyolite in- stead of returning by the trail on which he had entered the valley from Barstow
 Mrs. 'Scotty' said: Well, I en- joyed the. trip anyway. I know no more than I knew when 1 first enter ed the desert, except that I really know how barren it is, but know nothing of my husbands mine He
