He was looking for it, however daily. and ir order to run a first class din-
 ing room, It was necessary for him to have certain articles and a good sized bill of goods On this pretext, and through slight misunderstanding between two members of a local gro- cery firm, MT. Arnold was supplied with fifty odd dollars worth of goods
 with which he started business. His stay in Tempe was not long, for busi- ness under his management did not prosper greatly. However, he was here long enough to work the same game or another grocery firm for slightly smaller amount While he fol- lowed the same tactics that gave him standing in Phoenix. When he had money he patronized the different sa- looms of the town liberaIly. treating right and left and acting the good fellow part in general When his ready cash was exhausted. it was not diff cult for him to borrow a few dollars on the strength of his Globe prospects.

PNEUMONIA.
Fresh Air h the Best Cure as We'll
 as the Best Preventive.

Fresh Air Is the Best Cure as We'll
 as the Best Preventive.
 The most effective weapon with which to fight pneumonia Is fresh air, real fresh air, and lots of 1t.
 The fact that pneumonia might be called simply shutting of of oxygen shows how important It Is to give the patient plenty of air. In one large New York hospital sufferers from the dis ease are carried to the roof and kept there day and night. When your child grows i'll, move 1t to the largest and sunniest room in the house and open the windows. If It is too cold for that, have another room near by into which the patient may be moved at least three times a day to permit thorough ven- essary furniture and all pictures, hang ings and other impedlmenta should be taken out of both rooms.
 An attack of pneumonia begins in a manner which suggests very bad cold. The patient has chill and fever and suffers from pains in the side. A cough soon appears, and the breath becomes short and quick. The valiant battle of the overworked heart Is indicated by a quick pulse and flushed cheeks. Soon there are signs of great exhaustion, with headache, sleeplessness and (sometlmes) delirium.
 During all of this period the blood Is waging tremendous war upon the invading germs. If 1t Is destined to lose, the exhaustion will grow more and more marked, and the patient will die. But If 1t Is destined to win there will come a time-it will be between the fifth and the tenth day-when the pa- tient will suddenly seem brighter. The temperature will fall, the breathing will be more regular, and the violent jump ing of the pulse will cease When this happens, 1t Is sign that the battle Is won.-Delineator.

A Rapid Counter.

It is not every one who proves the in- effectualness of insomnia cures at [ years of age that Is why youngsters experience, as the Louisville Courier Journal records 1t, seems remarkable enough to quote.
 The father of the lad, who was about I years old, was a physician, and when the child found difficulty In getting to sleep, was ready with advice.
 "Ill tell you something that will soon put you to sleep" he said. You begin and count slowly up to one hundred, and then another hundred, and so on, and before you know 1t you'll be sleep ing. Try 1t tonight when you go to bed"
 Everything remained quiet that night until the father went to retire. As he passed the boys bed little voice piped:
 Papa"
 "Yes, my boy"
 What comes after trillions"
 But the wakeful youngsters query was not answered his father had van. ished into his own bedroom.

Kansas City Negro Woman Says She
 Is 125 Years old.
 At the foot of Lafayette avenue, Kan. sas City, Kan, lives a negro woman who says she Is 125 years old-and that she can prove It, declares the Kan sas City Star. Mrs. Nancy Gordon Is her name. She was born near Alexan- drla, Va, about 17S2. She was the slave of Matthias Boone. a wealthy cot ton planter of that vicinity, who was an officer In the Continental army.
 II was sold, the first time." Mra Gordon said recently, ito satisfy sheriffs warrant. My masters daugh- ter, Ellen, was married to young planter, William Gilliss, and was giv- en to them as dowry. My new mas ter was a spendthrlft. That's why was sold at a sherifr's sale to John Gordon of vlcksburg, Miss, cotton grower I was put to work weaving cotton cloth. I was married soon after I went to Master Gordon's home. We had nine children, but all except two are dead"
 Mrs. Gordon lived with the Gordon family until after the Civil War Then she moved to Kansas City. Kan. four teen years ago. She Is wrinkled and rheumatic, but still retains all her fac uties She Is m ardent Methodist and expounds It's doctrines to all who will listen.
 Mrs. Gordon, while telling the story of her life, drew from her apron pocket clay pipe, filled 1t with tobacco, and, lighting It with piece of paper which she had touched to live coal in her fire, said: Well, boy, I've told you enough. Go way and let me smoke. I've smoked pipe for more than a hundred years, and l cant stop it."

It is often said that the palmy days Of travel by river are over, but this re- mark applies only temporarily to cer- tain streams that do not at this time afford the necessary conditions Tax ing the world as whole, there Is more journeying by water than ever before. The figures of last years passenger traffic on the lakes show that 100000 passengers were carried out of Detroit by boat, 100000 from Chicago, ESQ., OCO from Milwaukee, over 100000 each from Port Huron, Grand Haven and
 Marquette, with smaller ports getting a proportionate share. One feature to be noted Is the exceptional safety of lake travel. Not life was lost among the 100000 persons who left Detroit by boat, and passenger casualties were few anywhere on the lakes. The ves- sels have increased In size until they are almost in the class of ocean liners. They offer roomy berths, cabins and
 promenade decks, with good fare on various plans, and the public comfort and enjoyment are carefully studied. Between some of the chief lake cities excursion steamers of the largest size run daily during the heated period as a
 means of refreshment to the crowded

How He Knew.

A lady who was perfectly well, but fancied she was suffering from fever called on an old and experienced phy- sician to consult him. She described her symptoms at some length, and he listened patiently. At last he said ::
 "I think I understand your case, madam. Sit perfectly still a few mo- ments and let me look at you"
 She complied, and he eyed her at- tentiyely for nearly a minute, glanc- Ing at his watch once or twice in ths meantime.
 There Is nothing the matter with you, madam" he said. You haven't the slightest indication of fever. Your heartbeat is perfectly normal"
 Why, how do you know, doctor r she asked, In surprise. You didn't feel my pulse"
 "I didn't need to-" he answered. "l counted the vibrations of the ostrich feather on your hat" And he bowed her out.

James Russell Lowell, the first edi- tor of the Atlantic, was walking across Cambridge bridge when his hat blew ofr and fell into the Charles with half dozen or more manuscripts with which 1t was freighted and which he was returning to the Boston office. A boatman recovered the hat, but the scattered manuscripts perished in those waves of oblivion. "If they had been accepted articles, 1t wouldn't have been quite 50 bad, for," said he, i've might with some grace ask the writers for fresh copies.

population, keeping In motion on the water as long a time as possible.

Many farmers are crossing the line of the United States into the western provinces of Canada. The movement has attracted widespread attention. It has been encouraged by systematic work of publicity and promotion. The boomer has used all sorts of advertis+ ing devices to emphasize the adyan- tages of the new country. That his ser vices have been effective Is undoubted. If Canadian figures are reliable sey- eral hundred thousand people have moved from the United States to these provinces since 1900 There Is a steady movement of population in the other direction also. New England Is fill ing up with immigrants from Canada They are crowding the mill towns and are also occupying the farms once own- ed by the descendants of Pilgrim and Puritan. The old towns show the loss of names once common and the pres ence of families of entirely different origin. These Canadian-French settlers are changing rural conditions In New hC IdNt oh thSaA steady increase Is as apparent and, In way, as striking as is that Of the other migration In the Northwest. There Is another movement from Can ada of men of business instincts rather than of agricultural or industrial ten denciea How great the volume Of this steady flow Is uncertain. But It Is a matter of common observation that many Canadian clerks are at work in the United States. Only a casual glance Is needed to show that a good propor- tion of these follow up their migration to the South by seeking American citf- zenship. The outflow of population b more spectacular than the inflow. It causes alarm in the minds of many be- cause 1t Is the same sort of movement that accomplished so much in the de velopment of the United States The west" in changing localities was largely built up by settlers from the east" this latter term also being a movable one. Because of the knowledge of this splendid citizenship which is being lost Americans regret the rest less search for new lands Is carrying the pioneers across the border into Canada. It is the regret manifested by Gov Morris when speaking of the eastern opposition to the Louisiana purchase. He pictured the exuberant population of the Eastern States flow ing in a steady stream Into the west ern wilderness He declared that If that country were neglected or permit ted to pass into the hands of a for eign power the fairest hope of poster ity would be destroyed. The loss Of good American stock Is to be regretted. But the movement means progress. It means harmonious relationships be tween the Northwestern States and the Canadian Northwest. It means devel- opment of new region by splendid citizens. It means betterment of condi- lions by those whose fathers and grand fathers sought the same thing by west ern migration. In this instance the United States loses as the older States lost before

Harvest Is Perpetual.

That billiard-table country-Argen tlna-stands next to Russia and Can ada among the foreign patrons of our harvester kings, says Everybody's. II was only about eighteen years ago after three centuries of revolution, that Argentina settled down to raise wheat and be good. It raises more wheat than Germany, and the country has become a land of milk and honey. It Is a South American Minnesota, but eleven times larger, more fertile by the slow. moving Platte rIver-a hundred miles wide when It reaches the sea-which moves through Its plains like an irri. gating canal.
 The fourth in rank of our harvester buyers Is Australia, which Is now send Ing a yearly tribute of $2,0OO,OOO of Its gold to the International Company.
 To-day the sun never sets and the season never closes for American har' vesters. They are reaping the fields of Argentina In January, upper Egypt in February, East India In March, Mexico in April, China in May, Spain In June Iowa in July, Canada in August, Swe- den In September, Norway In October South Africa In November and Burmah in December. It Is always harvest some where. The ripple of the ripened grain goes round the world and the American harvester follows 1t.
