The spirit Of cheerfulness is some
times the result of happy tempera-
ment whose nerves have never been
disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity.
Sometimes 1t is the abundance of youth
still finding surplus of vigor after the
tolls Of the day. Sometimes 1t is the
expression of character which from
the reserves Of Its own nature and ex-
perlence is able to preserve a cheerful,
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances and face life
always with hope and good cheer.
Such character is strength and q
defense not only to him who has it,
but to all his associates and to all who
feel his influence. They are the watch
towers of humanity, whose lights
shine through the dark night of human
struggle and whose word is an inspira-
ton Of hope and encouragement.

There are some people who turn
gray, but do not grow hoary; whose
faces are furrowed, but not wrinkled;
whose hearts are sorely wounded in
many places. but are not dead. There
is youth that bids defiance to old age,
and there Is a kindness which laughs
at the worlds usage. These are they
who have returned good for evil. Whom
the gods love die young, and they die
young because they never grow DID,

Hi. Tribute to Temperance

The temperance reformer was justly
proud Of having converted the biggest
drunkard in the little Scotch town and
induced him-he was the local grave
digger-to get up on the platform and
testify. This is how he did it: "My
friends" he said, II never thocht to
stand upon this platform with the pro-
vost on one side of me and the toon
clerk on the ither side of me. l never
thOcht to tell We that for whole month
havena' touched drap of anything.
I've saved enough to buy me Draw
oak coffin WI brass handles and BRASS
nails-and If Pm a teetotaler for an
ither month l shall be wantin' it,"

Tho ,,es of re,

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea,
etc, but few people have any idea of
what these names signify. "Pekoe"
in the dialect of Canton means white
hair" for the tea which bears this
name is made from the youngest
leaves, so young that the white down
is still on them. "Soochong" in the
same dialect is a quite unpoetic name.
1t merely signifies "small kind"
"Flourishing spring" is the meaning
of "Hyson." "Kongo" signifies ia
bor." Much trouble and toll are eX-
pended in It's preparation at Annoy, and
these are commemorated in its name.
"Bohea" is called after range of hills.

GOOD OLD ARIZONA.

When an Arizonan reads of the gi-
gantic land frauds in Idaho and other
western states, when he listens to
the complaints from New Mexico Of
official corruption, to say nothing Of
the story of official crime that is be-
ing disclosed by the San Francisco
bribery trials, he is more than ever
thankful that he IS a resident of Ari-
iona. as clean and well governed a
commonwealth as is to be found in
the United States.
There is not a state or territory in
the union in which there has been so
little of official corruption and malad-
ministration of the peoples affairs as
is the case with Arizona, and no state
or territory has a lower percentage
of crime generally than Arizona, or a
higher standard of citizenship.
It is little wonder that ArIzonans
are proud of the territory when there
is So much of good and so little of
bad to be found in it.-Phoenix Ga

BEATTY, New, Oct. 4.-Operation

ference with the strike leaders an
Enounced that a satisfactory understand
ing had been reached They declined
to make known the terms Of settle
ment. g
It was known, however. that the rail-
road company granted extensive con-
eessions in the way of pay to the train
men. The men originally demanded an
increase of from so to so per cent in
wages, though they were already re-
ceiving the rate provided by union
scale for main lines, and they had the
Clark line in tight place. because the
Brock road recently aeceded to similar
demands Clark held out for a 30 per
cent advance, 1t Is generally under
stood. declaring that he would suspend
operations indefinitely IL the strikers
would not compromise on that basis.
The trouble had threatened to spread
to the Salt Lake line, which was slight
ly affected.
