When Jefferson returned from Paris,

When Jefferson returned from Paris, where he was acting as American Minister while the conventio of 17S7 was in session, remarked that there were two defects in the constitution, viz; the lack of bill of rights and the absence of any limitation upon the humber of terms to which a president conld be elected. The wisdom of his suggestion is apparent when people begin talking a third term for any president. Nothing could be more dangerous to American government than such a return to Hamiltonian politics. The term of office for an in- definite term or perhaps for life is con- trary to a great unwritten law es- tablished by Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, aud re-affirmed in 1880 by the defeat of President Grant for third term. The sacred observance of this unwritten law up to this time has made it as much part of the law of the land as if it were written in our constitution, as Jefferson suggested, and it should be observed

Not a Reading Community.

The town of Charleroi. Pa, has a Carnegie library in which there are several thousand volumes and the town is roundly taxed to support the institution Last year, according to a report by the librarian just made public, there was one solitary patron of the library. The librarian ex- pressed the opinion that the people of the town were so much interested in roller skating, baseball games, bridge whist and poker that they had no time for books.

In Darkest Asia.

MT. E. L. Harris. United States con- sul at Smyrna. makes an interesting report on conditions in Asia Minor. and In regard to electricity. says: "The city of Smyrna, with nearly 400,- 900 population, has no electric railway, electric light or telephone. There are cities all over Asia Minor varying in size from 10000 to 50,000 inhabitants where there are opportunities of get ting concessions for electric light and traction It is strange for American electrical concerns to turn their backs on this field, with the excuse that nothing under $1.000,000 concession would attract them.

Two Hundred Miles Of Lions.

In western India there is a place
named Junagadh. 1t is governed by
ruler called a Nawab. This Nawab
has a peculiar fad. 1t is one that
probably no other person in the world
shares with him; at any rate, if any,
body else has rhe same fad. II isn't
likely at all that he can indulge 1t as
the Nawab of Junagadh can, for in his
territory is the great forest Of the
Cir in whose 200 square miles there
are believed to be more lions and pan
Tiers than are TO bs found in any
other part of the Woodland the fad
Of theNawab is lions.
In his territory It is a prison Of
teuse for native TO kill lion or
panther; and ii is only when visiting
Europeans enter the land that the
Nawab permits any hunting. Very
prominent Europeans know so well
that the Nawab doesn't like to have
his lions shot that they politely de-
cline his Invitation when ne extends
ii, knowing that this will please their
host more than anything that they
could do.
Even the viceroy OF India, who re-
Gently visited the Nawab, refrainsd
from going out to shoot a lion, al
though, OF course that ruler had made
all preparations for a great hunt.
The EA Sab naturally has the finest
collection of lions in captivity in In
dia, and It happens often that at night
the cageG animals are nearly driven
frantic By the roars Of free lions
which come out Of the jungle and
prowl around just outside OF the men

How to Obtain 1lesp.

IL you fear a sleepless night uldress
IN the dark. Light stimulates and
arouses the activities. Darkness Is
supposed to produce drowsiness. Put
some chopped ice In rubber bag and
place 1t at the lower extremity OF the
spine. This Is particularly quieting
10 the nerves. DO not use anything
but . rubber bag or you will merely
have q damp cloth and rheumatism
by morning. Do not use a pillow Re-
lax every muscle SO far as possible
Sprawl over the bed with arms and
legs stretched out. Take a sponge
bath with tepld water just before
going to bed. Lie on your face In.
stead OF your back. That Is the way
babies sleep and their methods are
scarcely to be improved upon In this
particular. All pressure Is removed
from the spine by this means and q
delicious feeling OF restfulness en-.
sues. Make up your mind that you
won't keep awake long enough TO hear
someone come In to outline the next
days work. You will drop asleep i'm

With Big Sme!ter Closed, Bust

Dreams of Wealth and Pros
perity Sent Glimmenng,


PHOENIX, Nov. "A vivid picture
of the desolation which has fallen
upon Humboldt since the closing OF
the smelter a few days ago is por.
trayed by incoming travellers from
the northern part of the territory.
According to one of these, a time,
keeper at the smelter, who has just
arrived here, the town is enVeloped
in gloom, and the people who are
still residing there are pessimistic
regarding it's future. The owner of
the largest store in Humboldt, one
carrying a $4,000 stock of goods,
declared that he considered his ven
ture failure and would gladly close
out to anyone who would give him
$4,000 for his business.
This is but one of number of in
stances which might be cited where
men have invested heavily in what
they considered to be one of the most
promising mining towns in the ter
ritory, only to have their dream of
ultimate success rudely shattered by
the sudden closing OF the smelter,
carrying with it their opportunity OF
making a livelihood there
Humboldt is situated &c miles from
ACSNOIl Ot1 LAG IlCSNOAl q a
branch of the Santa Fe, Prescott &
Phoenix railroad. 1t is the natural
center of ans extensive mining dis
trict and one of the largest smelters
in the west is located there. More
than 100 mines of varying sizes send
their ores to Humboldt to be smelted
and thus it is>a place of more than
than ordinary importance in the min
hing industry.
The smeIter and all it's adjuncts
are guarded day and. night by heavily
armed watchmen who are ready to
shoot down suspicious characters. A
carload OF ore worth 40 cents pound
is standing near the snfelter and it Is
guarded as though it contained Unit
ed States treasury bullion.
Because of the danger of being mis-
taken for thieves or other criminals
by the guards, people are afraid tc
stir out of doors at night, at least in
| the neighborhood~ of the smelter.
There is said to be an attachment
on the smelling works for 100000
another for $25O,000, third for $40,-
600, and a fourth for $4,000. The
nature of these attachments is not
known, nor the names of the credit
ors but the attachments are said to
cover almost every department of the
entire smelling project.
Two theories are NeXtant regarding
the cause for closing the smelter.
Many of the mines which contribute
ore in greater or less quantities to
Humboldt have been forced to sus-
pend operations until such time as
the market for copper shall rise and
make it profitable for them to re-
open. This, of course, has resulted
in a heavy loss for the smelter and is
thought by some to be the reason OF
it's closing.
By others it Yt1oGght to be a Ily
move on Lne part OF IneC~pYJIeTi
Thomas ". Lawson, the BoJtuiI fl
nancier to further curtail the produc.
ton of copper in the territory. With
copper at the present figure. many os
the mines that have been able to
continue getting out the ore because
of the close proximity of the Hum
goldt smelter, will be forced to close
for the reason that the market viii
not justify them in making long
hauls to distant shelters.
