pretty Well" said the Philadelphia
drummer, but | had a little expert
ence to show me that there are sew
eral things In the statute books that
[ don't know. | was in a New Eng
land town and dropped into a barber
shop to get shaved. There was only
one barber, and he didn't look as il he
knew putty. He turned out to be a
pretty good shaver, however, and as
! had had n drink just before entering
the shop l fell asleep in the chair.
! slept for half an hour, and when l
awoke he was through with me. The
first thing l missed on getting out Of
the chair was my roll of money, next
my watch, next my overcoat, next and
lastly my scarfpin. l went for that
barber for all | was worth, but he
denied robbing me, and his face wore
a smile. Then l got gait on me and
went to a lawyers Office.
"'Can you prove by credible wit
ness llldL you H'tIl 9Jo III SuSh hASh
you entered the barber shop? he asked.
Il couldn't.
"Can you prove that your watch
was taken in the shop instead of be-
ing lost on the street?
II couldn't.
"'Are you sure that you had your
pin on as you opened the door to
enterT
Il wasn't.
GAS to your overcoat,' continued the
lawyer, have you Il bill of sale of it,
or was any one with you when you
bought it? In other words, can you
swear to the ownership in law of any
particular overcoat?
Il couldn't.
Then can do nothing for you he
said, and l went to a second lawyer to
be told the same thing. 1 had left the
shop without paying for my shave,
and | was even told that the barber
could arrest me for beating him out

A PRIVATE DENTIST.
One Luxury This Man Will Have When
He Gets Rich.

Onc Luxury NNiii
He Gets Rich.
"If ever l get really rich" said the
man with toothache, 81 shall have Il
private dentist. What do l want of a
private dentist? Well, I'll tell you.
Its bad enough anyway to suffer
from your teeth, but to me this suffer-
ing is made doubly distressing by the
circumstances attendant upon my visit
to the dentists office.
81 arrive there to find the dentist
working away upon the teeth of some
patient in his chair, and that always
sort of disturbS me-tO find somebody
else being worked over and cared for
while wait in distress. l think l am
entitled to all the care and sympathy.
And maybe | find somebody else wait
ing, perhaps IL friend of the person In
the chair, or somebody waiting his
turn. come ahead OF time, and that
disturbs me, for like to wait with my
pain in solitude.
"But the dentist gets through with
the patient In the chair on time for me,
and | take my place under his hands.
And | don't doubt that l get his con-
centrated and complete attention and
skill while he is operating upon me,
but can't get away from the idea that
he Is working as rapidly as he can 50
as to be ready for the next patient.
".And then, with all my pain, l can't
forget either that person in the waiting
room waiting his turn after me, and
waiting without Il particle of sympa-
thy for me, and, In fact, rather impa-
tient of my presence and thinking of
himself alone. This is rather wounding
to my self esteem.
"ln fact. however | regard it, u visit
to the dentists Office is always jar
ring experience. My dentist is a man
of the highest professional skill, ard,
as said. | am sure | get his best care,
but still all these familiar things that
| have mentioned TO you jar me- and
| would avoid them all if could. So
when | get real rich | shall certainly

STATEHOOD AGAIN

The just demands of the people of the two territories of the southwest for local self government have been so un. satisfactorily answered by the party in power for years, that it is surprising that there is yet vitality enough both in New Mexico and Arizona to seek the same goal from the same source says the Fl Paso Times.
 But New Mexico is in earnest in go. ing before congress again to ask ad- mission and the only advantage our neighbor territory has over Arizona is that its people can say that they did all that was in their power to carry out the infamous conditions of the Bev- eridge bill. Arizona doesn t want such a distinction and considers itself better decorated by its refusal to join.
 That both territories are entitled to what they ask has been conceded by all men who know conditions and can cast aside their political reasons and can be fair to men who faced the sav- age Indians and brought civilization to what were desert wastes.

MACHINES TO SELL STAMPS
POSTOrFICE DEPARTMENT TO
 CONSIDER MODELS
Automatic Vending Contrivances May Replace Small Postal Sub Sta
 tions in the Cities

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 22.-- A special committee, named by the postmaster general, will begin sessions this morning to investigate the advan- tages of machines submitted for use by the government in the automatic sale of stamps.
 This committee is composed of the Messrs. McMillan, inspector in charge of the Washington division, chairmans Andres, of the office of the second as. sistant postmaster general, and Assist ant Postmaster Davis of the Washing ton postoffice.
 Up to yesterday, three machines had been submitted, but. it is anticipated there will be between twenty and thirty on exhibition before the meetings of the committee end.
 The machines submitted come from inventors in Boston, Cleveland and In dianapolis, but the department has let ters from about thirty inventors, whe say that they will submit models within few days. One of these will come from Germany and another from Eng land.
 The machines now here will sel stamps, postal cards and envelopes. Two will sell one and two-cent stamps, pos tai cards and envelopes, while another sells only envelopes.
 It is the plan of the department, il case a machine is found that is re garded as successful, to place the ma chimes in drug stores and like places where now small sub-stations are main tained. On the depositing of the righ change the machines will hand out tn, proper stamps.
 The present exhibit is in the room back of the museum, on the first foo of the postoflice department building and has attracted much attention.
 The hearings of the committee will b. public, except where the inventor ha parts of his machine unpatented, an, does not care to expose it to publi' view.

Thieves Steal a Whole Church

Thieves of Chicago and vicinity, mo- torioas for many remarkable deeds, eclipsed all previous records some time yesterday when they stole bodily the Presbyterian church, seating two hun dred people, from River Grove, on the Desplaines river The church had no regular pastor, but itinerant ministers would address the farmers in the edifiee occasionally.
 This morning 7. A. Rosi, farmer liv- ing across the river, missed the church. He rubbed his eyes and called his fam fly. Then they crossed the river to make certain the church was gone. It had been stolen, down to the last splin- ter, and there is no trace of it, although active search has been kept up all day.

CASSIE STORED THOUSANDS
PASS BOOKS UNEARTHED SHOW
 ss0o,0oO DEPOSITED
Whatever Funds Are Recovered Will Go to Creditors and not to Rela-
 tives of Dead Woman
CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 22.-l

CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 22.--A pass book showing deposits of over $300,000 in favor of the late Mrs. Gas sic Chadwick in Pittsburg bank came into the possession of Nathan Loesser, the referee in bankruptcy, today.
 The deposits were made on June 10, 1902, and the referee says there is nothing to indicate that the account was checked against at all.
 The deposits were made about the time of Mrs. Chadwick s dealings with James W. Friend of Pittsburg. Loesser also has five other pass books in his possessieu, showing that Mrs. Chadwick was a deIositor in banks in Cleveland and other cities. According to one of these pass books Mrs. Chadwick was a deposi.ar in the Second National bank of Pittsburg on June 10, 1902, to the amount of $305,000, and at other inter vals during that month for smaller sums. There are no marks indicating the money had been checked out.
 "What money is found," said Mir. Loesser, twill go to the creditors and not to the relatives of Mrs. Chadwick. {"

TWO OF LABoR's PROBLEMS

"The first and greatest. interest of every laboring man is to make the business in which he is engaged as profitable as it is possible to make it. " There can be no question as to the economic soundness of this statement by the Rev. Samuel G. Smith.
 Moreover, if every laboring man made it his rule, the profits from industry would make it possible to give a still greater share to labor, and it would make the labor supply equal to the de- mand. There would not then be any question as to ability of the white man to do the white mans labor.
 Labor is responsible for two delin- quencies. It does not give the maxi mum of it's effort and of its intelligent interest in return for its wage, and it does not conserve its earnings with a view to independence.
 These are not delinquencies that can be reached and cured by any effort of capital or of the employers. They must be rectiied by labor itself, and should be among the chief aims of or ganization ,as it is among its chief duties to its own members.
 If unions would refuse membership to the shiftless and incompetent, as some now do, it would help greatly. If
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-10-23

a mans labor record for efficiency, in dustry and intelligent effort in his employment went with his union card and was guaranteed by it, there would be less hostility to unions among em- ployers.
 If every workman earned every penny he was capable of earning every day he was employed, regardless of the scale of wages, he would have that much better claim to have that scale increased, and his employer would be just that much better able to pay the increase.
 The arguments against this is overpro. duction, lessening cost and price and the lessening of the demand for labor. Such arguments, however, are selfish, not economic, and would be censured by labor if used by capital. The pub lie, which is the interested third party does censure them, and they just SC far lessen labor's hold upon the public sympathy.
 The other delinquency which rests upon unionism for its solution is labor < proneness to spend rather than to save If American workingmen measured theil needs by their income, with a margin of surplus, they would soon be, as il France, the financial balance wheel oi the country.
 There would soon be that more ever distribution of wealth which is tho only safe goal for any economic system Laboring men would be the investors the holders of stocks and bonds, oi mortgages and real estate.
 Unions today are beginning to ap preciate the necessity of a system oi old age pensions. That is good as fal as it goes, but it should be extended tC systematic crusade of economy ant an encouragement of saving and tn, investment of surplus.

GHOST PLAY CAUSES DEATH
Frightened by Sister, Girl Jumps iron

ASHLAND, Ky, October 22.-Fright. ened by her sister, who was wrapped in sheet and playing ghost, Clara os. good leaped from second story win. dow at her home near Rockville last night and was instantly killed, her neck being broken by the fall.
 The girls had had an argument about ghosts, and Clara stoutly maintained that no apparition could frighten her She offered to bet her sister new silk petticoat to that effect. Waiting until Clara apparently had forgotten about the. incident, the elder sister wropped 8 sheet about her and entered Clara $ sleeping room late at night, uttering weird moans. Clara suddenly awoke and, rushing to the window in her fright, leaped headlong through to the ground below.
 The sister, Annie Osgood, is pros trated with grief, and is being watched for fear she will take her life.

 "No, I cannot furnish conclusive proof that message was received by the president from the spirit land, '' she added. "But it is my opinion that a medium spoke to him, as mediums have spoken to other presidents and rulers. Mediums have played prom inent part in all national and interna- tiona laffairs.
