IOcohlho, NaVaJO and Santa Cruz
 counties do not appear in the table,
 these counties having been created
 since then.
 Without mention of this fact the
 showing would look badly for Apache
 and Pima counties, from which two of
 them were taken, as aaginst another
 table in 1881, which gave them larger population in 1890, before the county division.
 The table shows the population of the territory to have been in 1890 about 5000, about One-third of the present population. A still more pleasing table Is found in record of the convict pop- ulation from 1870 to 1900. In the earliest times there was a very small percentage of the population in prison. The few who were here in those days were the hardy pioneers who found hon. esty the best policy, and when a man was found who would make a good con- vict, some better and cheaper way was discovered to dispose of him. Later. the convict percentage increased as bad men came to wild and wo0lly Arizona from the east and from Sonora, as place of refuge, and then committed more crimes and got in jail. The per centage of prisoners seems to have in- creased gradually until along in the and then there was a change for the better During the last eight or ten years it has constantly been get ting better In 1900 there were 322 prisoners in the penitentiary. Recently there were about $50 reported, though it is believed the present fall terms of court will bring the total up hundred more than ten years ago, when the pop ulation was not over half as large as now. Following is the prison record from 1876:
 1876, II; 1877, 10; 1878, 24; 1879, 37; 1880, 42; 1881, 54; 1882, III; 1883, 174 1884, 191; 1885, 224; 1886, 227; 1887, 245; 1888, 1S4; 1889, 19s; 1890, 210; 1891, 23O; 1892, 232; 1893, 239; 1894, 265 1895, 279; 1896, SIS; 1897, 323; 1898, 22s; 1899, 333; 1900, 322.

PRAYER TO SALOON-KEEPER.

Saloon-keeper, you've given my husband
drink.
Until, as sit here alone and think,
l feel that you've given it also to me
For am not sober, as used to be.
Oh! my brain is drunk! l think it reels,
Delirium tremens into it steals
l scream, rave, beseech and implore,
For Gods sake don't sell him even one
drink more.
Saloon-keeper you've silver and gold;
But, o saloon-keeper, have you been
told
What else has gone to your Golfers so
full
Where nickels have jingled with
scarcely lull?
Oh, listen, pray, I'll count it all up
And see if it's enough to pay for the
cup
That has broken my heart, blighted my
life,
AS l grope through life a drunkard's S
wife.
He's paid you the roof from over my
head;
Has given, not only my meat, but my
bread;
Has given you hours for which l have
waited,
Till night grew so dark the world l
hated;
Has given health and talents untold.
Are not your Golfers as full as they'll
hold?
Add peace and happiness, and joys of
home,
The awful past-no future to come.
There's cursing and sickness, poverty,
death
That seems to be lurking in every breath.
Just look in your coffers-they are all
there,
And with them the pain too great to
bear.
There's my time, my rest, the hours
of sleep,
The bitterest tears that my eyes could
weep;
The pride which forms part of the heart
of woman;
The spirit, the life; all that is human
Is gone, is irrevocably lost;
This, saloon-keeper, is part of the cost.
Call this raving? told you was drunk,
And into the deeps of sorrow was sunk;
Yet l call and beg, and command you to
think
Of the horrible price you get for drink,
Whenever my husband enters your
store
For Gods sake, don't sell him even one
drop morel

EXPOSITION WITHOUT PARALLEL

Statesmen, soldiers and philosophers
who have visited all the great Exposi-
tions of the world unite in the opinion
that in architectural and natural beauty
the jamestown show has never had its
parallel. But it remained for Governor
Edwin Warfeld, of Maryland, to grace
fully state the truth and nothing but
the truth on the occasion of the Balti-
more Day celebration at the Exposition
June 27. The Governors remarks
along this line were as follows.
81 visited the Centennial in Philadel-
phia in 1876, the Columbia Exposition
in Chicago in 1893, and the st. Louis
Fair in 1904, and can say without
exageration that the jamestown Expo
sition is superior to them all, from any
standpoint. The architecture and nat
ural beauty of the Exposition is with
out parallel
GAS far as the charges of extortion
that have been made against the res
taurants and other interests here are
concerned, l will say that they are
without truth, for have investigated
for myself.
Because the Government pier is not
finished, you should not blame these
patriotic people for it. In few weeks
this spot will mark the most beautiful
Exposition that America has ever
known.

ADAMS FIRST WIFE.

Whether Lilith was one of the female
creations of chapter one, or demon or
something between the two, she was,
considered matrimonialy, a complete
failure. She was expelled after living
with Adam for one hundred and thirty
years, and subsequently became the
wife of Satan, by whom she was the
mother of the Jinns, so familiar in
Persian fairy lore.
The emphatic remark of Adam when
he first saw Eve, '"This is bone now of
my bone and flesh of my flesh" makes,
it is suggested, comparison between
Eve and the beautiful but fiendlike
Lilith not complimentary to the latter,
while the reference on the birth of
Seth to him as Adams son Gin his own
likeness; after his image" conveys a
painful hint of the uncanny offspring
born to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith-
the name occurs translated might mon
ster" in Isaiah xxxiv. became the
sworn foe of little children, whom she
was wont to strangle with one of her

HORSES AND GRASS.

A famous veterinary surgeon declares
that grass beats all the drugs in creation
as cure for sick horses and mules.
Horses should have few quarts of
grass daily, from spring until fall, he
says. The prevalent notion that it is
harmful, is idiotic and cruel. Grass to
horses is the same as fresh vegetables
and fruit to us. Their craving for it
proves their need of it. Yet ignorant,
unfeeling drivers yank them away from
it as if it were poison instead of the
life-giving medicine it is designed by
their Maker for them. When they
gnaw the bark of trees or eat leaves, it
is because they crave grass and can't
getit. Millions of bushels of grass go
to waste yearly by the wayside which
should be utilized for noble, faithful
helpless, dumb servants, the horses
thus making them healthy and happy.

The great skeleton is in the side of

from the stone in which it is embedded.
However, its entire length can be seen.
One vertebrae which has been removed
weighed more than 1000 pounds. AS
is the case with most of these finds the
the animals were buried alive in an
eruption and have thus been preserved
for thousands, if not millions, of years.

Last year there were over 1900 hon.
icides committed In the United States
a considerable Increase over the pre-
vious year. Undoubtedly there was
also an increase in other crimes. The
statement is made that, with the single
exception of the Italians, the American
people are the most homicidal nation
In the civilized world. The Indictment
against this country is emphasized by
n comparison With the criminal statis-
tics OF other leading nations. In Italy
the homicidcS number l05 per million
inhabitants per year; in this country
last year the ratio was 1l5 per million.
The annual average ratio of homicides
to population in Germany is thirteen
per million. in France nineteen per MIL

A young lady having asked surgeon
why woman was made from the rib of
man in preference to another bone,
he gave the following gallant answer:
''She was not taken from the head lest
she should rule over him, nor from his
feet lest he should trample upon her;
but she was taken from his side, that
she might be his equal; from under his
arm, that he might protect her; from
near his heart, that he might cherish
and love her."
Things look differently to us when
the laugh is on us. Some people are
good laughers at other peoples mis-
fortunes, but they can't laugh at their
own. Now, dear brothers, when you
can laugh at your own misfortunes you
are a philosopher. You might as well
laugh at them. 1t won't do any good
to cry. You will laugh year hence
and wonder why things worried you.

you sick to worry.-BUSTER BROWN.

of the army in case General Lee be-
came unable to fill it. On one occasion,
while riding with General Lee, the lat
ter told General Hoke that he very
much feared his health would break
down and that, to guard against such
a contingency, he had informed Presi-
dent Davis and the cabinet that in
such an event he wished General Hoke
to command the armies OF the Confed-
crate States. 1t is, of course, known
that a cabinet session was held, at
which this matter was discussed, and
all the arrangements made, but Gene
raj Lees health did not give way, and
so the step was not made necessary" 4"
1t will be recalled that General JUL
ian S. Carr, in his article on Lee in The
Wake Forest Student for January, re-
viewed in the Observer of Monday
last, developed the foregoing facts.
What a wonderful man General Hoke
is! The Confederate government stood
ready to confer upon him, if occasion
arose, the highest honor at it's COM
mand; yet he kept the secret locked up
in his own breast for more than forty
years, resorted to evasion of silence
when interrogated on the subject, and
only spoke when it became public pro-
perty through agencies other than his
own. He did not become commander
of the Army of Northern Virginia, be-
cause the indomitable will of the great
commander sustained him to the end;
but he had been chosen to succeed him
in the event of General Lees collapse;
and the fact is crown of glory to him
and to North Carolina.

THE FOOLISH RICH.
tRichmond Lonrn,l.N


Two pictures:
No. l. The tang of spring was in the
air. A glass cage on wheels, drawn
by two fat horses, rumbled over the
pavement. There was a man inside the
glass cage who was going down to his
office. There were circles under his
eyes and a jaded look was on his
face. There was man outside who
was driving the team. The bloom of
the morning was on his cheek and he
whistled.
No. 2. Two pedestrians came down
the street with swinging stride. There
was gray in the whiskers Of one, but
the vigor of youth was in both. A
street car passed. 1t was loaded with
men and women, some of whom had
waited at the street corners for fifteen
minutes in order to ride ten minutes.
The driver of the glass cage was
getting the best that life afforded this
spring morning.
The stout walkers who had covered
their two miles were getting what
money could not buy.
Isn't it fine arrangement that the
things really worth the having cost
nothing?
The joy of the beauty-filled day, what
did the man in the glass cage get of it?
The thrill of awakening life that
pulsed in every breath, how much of it
did the jolted car passengers feel?
Money will buy automobiles and car
riages and soft laces and a cushioned
life, but it will not buy the joyous
tremors, the trill of bird song, the
miracle of the first sweet flower on the
hillside-all the tingling theater of real
life that comes with the onrushing
green of Gods open.
Money will not buy the quickened
pulse, the push and pull of blood to the
finger tips, the vibrating impulse of
long drawn drafts of the wine of the air.
The real pleasures of living comes
without money and without price.
The rich are often so stupid in their
ways they miss the best life has for them.
Let us who care nothing for the
tedium of convention or the furnishings
of pride hold fast the real treasures.

WOULD HAVE
SUCCEEDED LEE
Charlotte OhserverN

In due course of mail we received the
following, in the nature of personal
letter of date December 31st, from a
well known North Carolinian, and
should have published it ere this:
Your editorial of the 30th on Gen.
eral Lee is interesting, and particularly
wherein it spoke of General Lees high
opinion of General R. F. Hoke. 1t is
not generally known that in 1864, after
General Longstreet had been wounded
and General Ewell broke down, that
upon the authorities at Richmond, ask
ing General Lee who should succeed
him in command of the Army OF North
ern Virginia in case any mishap should
befall him, he designated General Hoke.
| know that such was the rumor in the
army in the summer of 1864, because l
heard it talked about by General Bryan
Grimes and his staff during General
Early's celebrated campaign in the
Valley; and there is this further fact
that looks like corroboration:
"After the battles at Spotsylvania
Courthouse, General Lee, as you know,
followed Grant in his swing by the left
flank towards Richmond. During that
movement on the North Anna river,
General Lee so maneuvered as to get
his army'in wedge shape, with the
river in his front and the Yankees on
each face of the wedge, and they re-
NAMED in that position for day or
more. A good many years ago, in con-
versation with General Hoke l asked
him why it was that General Lee failed
to take advantage of his interior posi-
ton, mass on one of Grants flanks and
destroy it. General Hoke replied that
such had been General Lees plan, but
that before he could execute it, he suf-
fered an almost complete collapse from
overw0rk and nervous exhaustion
hence the inactivity of the army for
several days. General Hoke also said
that for week or more General Lee
rode in an ambulance, and that he
knew these to be facts because at that
time he was in daily communication
with General Lee.
81 then asked General Hoke of the
truth of the above report that he had
been selected to take charge of the
army in case General Lee should become
disabled. To this, he made no reply,
but began talking about something else.
/ have, from the above facts, always
believed the report was true.
''No one has ahigher regard for Cen
eral Hoke than l, but he owes it to his
State as well as to himself and his
children to tell many things about the
war that will die with him if he does
not, and in particular his interview with
Governor Vance the day General John
ston's army fell back through Raleigh.
| am satisfied that much history was
made that morning that has never, so
far as / know, been written"
The writer Of the above letter read,
of course with pleasure, the following
paragraph from the Raleigh cores
pondence in yesterdays Observer, con-
firming his story fully:
"Your correspondent may say that
Generel Hoke has at last broken hi.
silence in regard to his tender to hin
of the position of commanding genera
