Christnas Preseats.

Christmas presents. up to compar- atively recent period, appear to have been confined to the rich and great. Kings and queens and nobIes spent fab uious sums for gifts to present to their friends. The sovereign expected royal gifts. A catalogueNof the riches law ished on Queen Elizabeth year after year by her subjects and parasites reads like a fairy tale.
 The common people celebrated in an- other fashion. There is an inextin- gufslable desire in mah 70 dlsport him. self on every legitimate occasion; to throw discretion. politeness. good breeding. decency itself to the winds. and just get down and howl like a caveman. Here in New York this, is seen several times every year The saturnalia of ola Rome could not have been much noisier or more boisterous than some of our own election celebra- tions. We certainly ought to sympa- .thize with the spirit which prompted the brief annual reign of the Lord of Misrule," although it was undoubtedly attended with some very rough usages. There was ,Jnore brawn than sentiment about those English ancestors of ours. and more animal spirits than delicacy.
 The Puritan was naturally much shocked at the annual holiday gambols and tried to put a stop to them. In fact he put a quietuy on the whole custom of Christmas keeping. Tn 1647, or whereabouts. even church services were forbidden, To worship God on His birthday was rank popery. in the opinion of Praise God Barebones. and to enjoy life. at that season even more than another. was inherently bad and vicious. The Christmas hearth was black. and the wassail bowl empty du- ring the rule of Cromwell. They came back with the Restoration. but a chill had fallen on the whole thing. Christ mas has been kept more discreetly and with less warmth since then.
 This may be counted an injustice.
 We are told in .Marmon' that:
 "A Christmas gamboI oft would oh heer The poor mans heart through all the
 year."

Ages it was the common usage in churches to display boxes for especial : ly liberal alms-giving in honor of the season. Parents gave tbeir children, masters their servants. employers their apprentices small sums of money to put in the box. By and by the money came to be given in the form of tips. Boxing day" in England is still the day following Christrias. The boxes very seldom remained in the hands of the recipients Usually they were passed on to parents. or sweethearts.
 ''Ill take it all and box it all.
 And give 1t to my honev." sings the enamored apprentice in the ballad.

BRYAN DISCUSSES
RAILROAD CONFERENCE

Buffalo, March I4.-William ]
Bryan spent an hour here en- route
from Beaver, Pa, to Binghampton
today. He was asked for his opinion
of the proposed conference between
President Roosevelt and the railroad
presidents, to which he replied:
"The Republican leaders object to
the doctrine With the consent Of the
governed in the Philippines, but
some of them think nothing can be
done to regulate railroads without
the consent of the railroad magnates.
The important part of that announce
ment is that the railroad managers
want the supervision of the railroads
transferred to the federal government
that they may avoid state legislation
and this contradicts the Presidents
theory that the corporations favor
state rights as means of avoiding
federal control.
"The great corporations would
much rather risk control by Congress,
which is far away from the people,
than by state legislatures, which are
close to the people.

WEIGHT MUST BE GIVEN


Commissioner B1akeslee of the de-
letters from dealers ali over the state,
asking for further information con-
corning the new law which reqires
that the correct weight and name OF
contents shall be stamped on all
packages OF -FOUR, meal. cotton-se d
meal and all other feeding stuffs
made from cereals, before same shall
Be offered for sale in this state
The Code Of 1906 contains two
sections in the chapter on Weight
and Measures which IS Of interest to
our merchants selling any kind of
food products We have been giving
along some of the sections which di
rectly affect dealers and below we
publish from the new Code two Sec
tons that nearly every merchant is
directly interested in:
SEC. 5o75-The correct name and
net weight of the contents Of each
and every hogshead, barrel, box, cask,
bale, sack or package of flour, corn,
meal, cotton seed meal and of any
and all other kinds of feeding stuff
made from cerals of any kind, wheth-
erpure, mixed or adulterated and
whether sold in single packages or
lots. shall be plainly marked, BRANDED
or stenciled in large, legib1e letters
and figures. upon the exterior of such
hogshead, barrel, box, cask, bale or
package. and it shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation or the
agent, employe or representative of
any person, firm or corporation to
sell or exchange or suffer for sale or
exchange any of such null products.
so packed or contained, until the
provisions hereof have been complied
with"
Sec. 5o76-It shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation, or
the agent, employee or representative
of any person, firm or corporation to
sell or exchange or offer for sale or
exchange, whether in single packages
or lots, any mill products composed
of mixed cereals of anv kind or any
cereal adulterated in any manner, I'M
less the word sadulterated', adulterat-
ed, is plainly marked, printed or stem
ciled diagonally across the other
marks or brands, if any on the hogs
head, barrel, box. bale, cask, sack, or
package containing the same, or In
case there are no other marks there
on, then across such hogshead, bar
rel, box, bale, cask. sack or package
in conspicuous place, in large, leg
ible letters and figures
The dealers now find themselves in
an awkward predicament, as it is not
possible for them to comply with the
law Immediately without going to
considerable expense and trouble in
marking each package they have on
hand, and yet they are violating the
law and laying themselves liable to
the penalty every time they sell
package not so marked.
As yet, however, there has been no
general attempt to enforce the stat
ute and there are still hundreds of
dca lers and officers of the law in the
state who are in ignorance Of its ex-
ist nee.
The penalty for violating this sec
tion is not less than Se5 fine and not
ore than $Ioo in each case. Where
ever arrests are made. therefore, the
courts will be compelled to assume
the minimum fine at least, as the /
statute gives them no discretion.

the postofice it has been his custom to get up at such Gn hour in the morning as. one hour later, to behold each morning the glories of the Doug las sunrise. He is lover of nature
 and the rise of the great red orb above the horizon has always been a mite of consolation for the good hours
 of sleep he was compelled to lose. But, though his fondness for this beautiful manifestation of nature con
 tines uhdiminished, he has concluded that he prefers to behold its grandeur from little peephoie in the
 curtain by his window
 So there, hereafter. he will gaze up- on old Sol as he talk $ his morning ablutions upon this part of the globe,
 and perhaps chuckle contentedly as
 he hears the morning fanfare of can ticleer, to whose signal song of the approaching dawn he has heretofore listened as he dropped letters in their

LOOK THIS WAY

 More people ia tie Duluth country are looking towards Arizona and Mex ico as offering the best fields of in vestment, and more people from that section are actually coming to the southwest, than to any other part ot Iae country" said Charles B. Bell, the successful lssiEing promoter of this city, who has just returned from a trip of month sHeat in eastern cit ies.
 Tn the places where mining men meet in that part of tLe country, which in a business way Is unusually sympathetic with Arizona ard Sonora on account of business connections, more talk is heard Of the southwest ern field than any other mining field in the United States. And there is nothing the least bit fictitious about fhfs interest. for they, of all the peo pIe iS che Unieed States outside 0. ourselves. know just what we have down here and just what a wonderful future awaits fkis section.

 NOT FOR ADWELL

DOUGLAS, Aug. 28.-CSpecial. l-
 Postmaster Caldwell has tired of of getting up at an outrageously early hour of the morn while others are snoozing peacefully away, in order to get of mail intended for the morning westbound train, and announces today that hereafter all mail intended for that train must be in the postofice by 6:15 o'clock of the evening preceding This also applies for mail going out on the eastbound train in the even ing. So, hereafter, he who waits until business hours are at an end to get away his early morning westbound mail will find that it is still in the office instead uf speeding on its way to it's destination,
 Its just a little bit too much to expect of fellow" said Mir. Caldwell today, that he must get up an hour before sun-up and distribute mail for the morning train. Practically all Of the mail inteEisS for that train Is in by 6 o'clock of the day before, any way, and there are but a few letters that struggle in after that hour. Busi- ness houses are all closed after that time and I feel that this will work no hardship on the patrons of the of flee"
 Mir. Caldwell explains that it is in- possible 10 get clerks who will get up at the hour to which he has been accustomed to rise in order to dis tribute the mail. for the reason that it breaks up their hours and it is not expected of them. That he has done so heretofore has been just to accom-
 nodate few of the general public who do not observe regular business hours.

CASTELUM CRUSHED
 UNDER WAGON WHEELS
Tucson Pioneer While Driving Heavy Load Down Hill
 Is Killed.

TUCSON, Aug. 2S.-Caught be- meath the wheels of his wood wagon, on which he had been riding, Jose Castelum, one of the pioneers of Tue son and this county, met instant death yesterday at Tanque Verde. As soon as news of the death was received here a dead wagon was sent out to Tanoue Verde, which is located about fifteen miles east of Tucson, and the body was brought to Parker's moTgue.
 Castelgm had put on his wagon a heavy load of cordwood and was driv- ing the wagon to his ranch, prepara- tory to starting to Tucson this morn ing. Just before reaching the ranch house .it is necessary to go down a steep hisi and to cross narrow bridge over the Rillito river.
 | There were no actual eye witnesses to she accident, from the information that could be learned. but 1t is the supposition that while trying to guide his horses and at the same time ap ply the brake on the rear wheel oi the wagon, the aged pioneer was jolt cd from his seat He fell directly behind the heels of his horses and i the marks on the body indicated thai both the front and the rear wheels had passed over tim, literally crush ing out his life, as the wagon was heavily loaded.
 The team crossed the bridge in safe ty and then stopped on the other side It was but short time until meI | who are employed on the Casteluu place, came along and were mortified to find his Iifeless body.

PRACTICE MARCH OF FEDERAL
 CAVALRY
Take Periodical Trip from Fort Apache to Keep in Fighting Trim-Fine War Record.

PHOENIX, Aug. 2s.-Troop G of the Fifth Cavalry, with Lieutenant $. D. Smith commanding, arrived in 1 Phoenix on their long practice march | from their station at Fort Apache, and camped at the fair grounds.
 Troop G numbers sixty-five men, but eleven men were left at the garri- son to do the accessory camp work.
 There are thirty-nine enlisted men camped here, and besides they have hospital corps man, an Apache scout. a regular teamster. a civilian teamster and civilian packer
 The march is being taken in ac- | cordince with orders issued from the war department to the effect that all troops are to take practice marches once in three months in order to keep i in fighting condition. Troop G keeps ] in trim ordinarily by rdng to Holbrook, once month. for the pay wagon. 1 This troop has a fine war record, both in China and the Philippines, keeping well up to the record main tained throughout the whole regi- ment.
 The troop in marching makes about twenty miles per day, and is accom- panied by two wagons So far, noth- l ing has happened to delay the march, and Lieutenant Smith is well pleased with their progress. He intends to see to it that the men in his charge shall not commit any disorder in ] Phoenix, and a guard house has been set up to receive any who disobey orders.
 Lieutenant Smith received the re porters with fine courtesy, and was so modest that he requested not to be quoted in connection with any in 1 formation given out to the pressH He was enthusiastic about the war rec. ord of his men, but was as much em- barrassed as a 10-year-old boy when asked about his own. and got off of 1 the subect as quickly as possible. Il was learned from other sources, how. ever, that Lieutenant Smith has a ! fine record in the Philippines. and
 ais proved by the fact that al yet a young man, he has risen from | the ranks to his present position as g commissioned officer.
 1 II is a popular misconeeption that priyates do not often rise above the ran of 'non-com." 1" officers, but in the army, as elsewhere, the man counts 1 and there is no caste feeling between graduates from West Point and the men who have literally fought theil way up. There are at present in the army about 1000 officers who have risen from tho ranks.
 In spite of the fact that Fort Apache is one of the ioneliest posts in the service, descriptions are very few. averaging but one . year where

style, while good for moreens, is
hardly practical for silk models, tho
election being that the friction

Neckwear for Winter
Wear

TUE white coat sets will not have
L very much favor for wear with
the tailored suit. They are too cold
looking, excelt for the early weeks
of winter.
The high standing collars and the
stiffiy starched collars with bat
wings, worn With tailored ties, will
be favorite collars for the business
girl.
A form of lingerie neckwear that
undoubtedly will be popular is the
jabot, and more particularly the
Marie Antoinette plastron.
Every woman in Paris is wearing
this favorite type. They are made
with Irish lace, pleated lingerie
trills edged with Val, or any fluffy,
futtery, frilly combination.
Silk scarfs are unusually smart,
and there are a number of new ideas
in printed silk scarfs both in color
ing and designs, which are bound to
appeal to all women who love artis-
tic, effective touches.
Some of the latest designs are in
the border effects, printed upon chlf-
fon or wolfe grounds.
Feather boas will come in for a
fair share of consideration. In these
the fashionable idea is best con-
tail ID in. the marabout idea, FREE
quently combined with curled os-
trich.
The marabout boa will be ed
both for the street and evening pur-
poses. The fiat stole, or shawl-like
effects, will receive the most con-
sideration for dress purposes.
