Which Is Your Shortest Hour?

What is your shortest hour in the day." asked q business man of an ac- quaintance. Don't say you have none. You have, although you may not know it. Everybody has. Of course, reckOned by actual measurement. each hour is composed of sixty minutes. yet notwithstanding that chronological eX- actness the hours vary in length. My shortest hour is from ? to 9 o'clock in the afternoon. I find upon inquiry that this is the feetest period for many people. In my case so swiftly do those sixty minutes hurry by that I try to crowd into them as many of the disagreeable, yet inevitable, things of life as I possibly can. If I have to interview a bore, see him then; if I have to visit the dentist, I do it then. That hour is bound to slip away quickly, no matter what happens; therefore the agony of disagreeable scenes seems of shorter duration."- New York Sun.

 Just imagine the women of the United States called nature fakirs by the president! What a furor there would be. Picture Mrs. Swan-Down and Mrs. Moore-Rouge rising in their wrath against the intermeddler, and Mrs. II. Curves and Mrs. Long-waist rushing into print to deny the ale gation of being a fakir.
 It is not the intention of this tc concur in any hypothetical denuncia ton the president might give utter ance to: rather would we feel in clined to take the part of offended womanhood and deny with all the V! rility of our power such an aspersion The thought that any American wO man Is not made in a perfect molt to start with is lese maieste. Thi' being true, then. why should anyone of the sex try to so distort herself al to improve on what is already admit tedly perfect? Why, the very though of it is preposterous.

earnato Wen the Bet.

There is legend of an amusing competition in connection with a dis cussion regapling the financial value of literary genius. Barney Barnato. who was a genius. but not literary. began to chaff some financial jour naliSts. You blOomin' fellers don't know nothin' about literature. I'll back myself to write a little piece against any of yer"
 The challenge was laughingly ac- cepted, and a referee appointed. The papers were thrown into a hat, and the referee, after analysing them. said: Gentlemen, I am bound to say that the palm must be awarded to Mir. Barnato. His piece is terse. faultless in form, irreproachable in matter. You yourselves shall judge" And he read out the following essay:
 promise to pay to Mir. x. the sum of f1cO for his kindness in acting as referee in this interesting competition.

 The award was unanimously con firmed by the competitors. and the check was duly honored.-London Telegraph.

NEW RAILROAD
 OVER OLD TRAIL.

Mention is made of a projected railroad from Memphis to Sonora by way of Dona Ana, N NJ, Cooks peak and the Florida mountains. It is nearly thirty years since this route began to be talked of seriously for a railroad, and part of il was sur veyed by the original Texas and Pa. cific reconnaissance parties.
 Further back than that, away back in the '4Os. army engineers recon. mended this route for a railroad. At that time there was no railroad west of P.ttsburg and Buffalo. but those wise old pioneers saw with sharper eyes than we possess nowadays.
 It is unthinkable that railroad should be built so near to Fl Paso without entering this city, for every advantage that could be found on the route could also be found here. But it is interesting to note that the pro posed line would for long distance follow one of the most famous old trails in American history. The Old Butterfield road, crossing the Pecos at Immigrant crossing, passing around the nose of the Guadalupes, and on west through the COrnudas and the Huecos, to DOna Ana, a few miles above what is now Las Cruces. Then it took off toward Cooks peak | and the headwaters of the Gila, thence by Yuma to the coast. Later the main road from the east was brought to the present site of Fl Paso but the big trail still struck out from the Rio Grande valley at Dona Ana A part of the old route will be used by any road that builds across the panhandle and by way of the Pecos valley to Fl Paso. Thus within a few years we shall see coming true the predictions of the old army engineers made sixty years ago.-El Paso Her aid.

Legend of the Violet.

4 Latin poem of the sixteenth cen tury has a pretty legend of a violet that, in mythological days, was a maiden called Ianthis, one of Diana's nymphs. She attracted the attention of Apollo, whose admiration she did not return, and. flying from his pur- suit, she implored Diana to destroy the beauty which occasioned her so much trouble. Diana granteds her request and turned her face to dull purple. Ianthis, however, soon regretted the loss of her beauty and was pining away with grief. when the goddess had pity on her and changed her into a flower. which still shrinks from Apol- To (the sun) and hides her modest head in the shade.

BETTER THAN
 PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS.

The reliance of the United States has always been on its citizens, not on it's professional soldiers. The quiet business and working men of the | country have won all the victories in all the wars, says the Los Angeles | Times.
 There are only a few thousand sol diers in the regular army, but there are ten million men in America ready to be converted into a fighting host in few months, if any danger threat ems the country.
 No two decades are the same. Each time brings up its own problems to be solved by the men of that day in the way the conditions call for.
 We are no isolated colony, no little nation with few relations to the out side world We are of the world now and must reckon with things as they are. We are in close relations to the nations of the earth. Through our generous hospitality we have invited the inhabitants of all lands to come here and share with us all our bless ings. Friction must arise out of these situations. We must be pre- pared to meet exigencies, whatever they may be.
 Our sea-coast is of great extent. Greater than that of any other na- ton. We have a great European colo ny to our north. and a rival republic to the south. The opportunities to at tack us are many. Rich cities rise all along our coasts and a high grade Of civilization has been developed from one sea to the other and from 1 the lakes to the gulf. With no stand ing army our defense rests with our people.
 Sparta had no walls That city needed none. The patriotism and val or of the people were the defense of the city. Rome never had such high or such strong walls as when that once mighty city fell a prey to the invader because there lacked man, hood inside the walls.
 The government with us is in the people, and those who represent us see things as we see them. The miH- tia of the several states is to be or. ganized and handled on a new plan, suitiHg the new conditions. The plan is wise and will work. The people are intelligent and quick to compre bend. Under this new plan we may expect to see the militia greatly en- larged and made effective. It will I require very little actual practice to fit the average American for handling the big guns in the embrasures or be hind the earthworks.
 :! "old men for council and young men for war" is the experience of the world Americans are seldom too old to fight We have millions oi young fellow, say between forty and seventy. who would make good men in pinch.

Naked Truth.

An encounter of wits once took place between the late Eugene Field and a New York woman. It was at dinner, and the woman was in evening dress, which was rather decollete. After a skirmish between the two relative to the respective merits of a well known author it would seem that Field came of second best.
 "Oh, Mir. Field" exclaimed the wo- man exultantly, you must admit that you are fairly beaten at your own gamey'
 Field bowed politely and, with a smile, promptly rejoined, At any rate, Miss Blank, I have one consolation you can't laugh at me in your sleeve" " -Lippincott's.

The Literal Mind,

All orders to native servants in India must be literally given, for in that manner they will be received. A mis- sionary once took country lad as a servant when going out On a boating journey. As there are no lavatories on board the country boats, one's ablu- tions have to be performed in a very simple manner. an ordinary bucket serving as a wash bowl. The boy was told to bring some water and in doing so happened to spill a little on the floor. Why don't you throw it all over meE' asked the missionary jocosely. Aha" said the lad. and immediately, to his masters astonishment, took up the pail and emptied it over his em. ployer's head.

It must be hard proposition to be reformer in San Francisco. There are many elements among the peo- pie of that city to be served. There are the union laborites and the anti union laborites; there are the simon pure reformers and the make believe, hypocritical reformers; there are the small fry grafters and the higher up" grafters. A man who is to bring order out of the chaos which has reigned in that city since the disaster should be of such mental stature as to serve all of those elements. How is he going to do it? It's impossible on the face of il.

ANOTHER SORT OF NATURE TAKING.

That President Roosevelt is wise in his generation is becoming more and more palpable with each passing day For instance, he has denounced nature falirs and nature faking, but if you will observe he has showed marvellous discretion in selecting diff ferent samples of nature faking He has branded the Rev. MT Long as a falir and MT. Jack London, the real ist, Mir. &eton Thompson and various other notabIes are among the unde- sirable nature writers. But all na- ture fakirs do not live on .Broadway and do not form their impression of the bob cat by watching closely the family tabby.
 We see them on the streets of Bisbee every day and they can be seen on the streets of any other city every day. Sometimes their faking is so transparent that it would not be necessary to engage in a contro- versy over the matter. Then, at oth- CT times, the fakirs are so very clever with their faking that perhaps only another fall:r equally as 'cleVer could detect the fake.
 Does anyone fail to grasp the sort of faking that is under consideration? Then watch the drug stores and the dry goods houses. There all the para phernaIia of this undenounced nature fakir can be seen and had At the drug stores are certain preparations calculated to change ones color, whether applied to the face, the hair c- th sties -A!satnot. The color faked, the fallir then repairs to the dry goods shops where her shape becomes the fakee. Then, with both face and fig ure to suit her ideas of just how she {, would have had nature make her to start with, she goes out and conquers whom she may.

And whc is there that will say such denuncia fion would be undeserved? For ars not their faces and their figures theil own, to do with as they see fit?
