A Mistake.

Not one of us, even the most good natured, likes to have his mistakes pointed out. We may appear not to mind corrections and accept them with a smile, but 1t is human nature to smart under correction, although some of us may be clever enough to conceal the smart; hence the fewer mistakes we call attention to in others the bet ter. Two-thirds of the mistakes We make are trivial. Their correction is unimportant. Why. then, notice them Yet some people do. and do so con stantly. A person speaks of having done a certain thing on Thursday. when in reality it was done on Wednes- day. If no important point is involy. ed. why cali attention to the mistake What good does it do to have the ex- act day set right? It Is a matter Of DO importance. so why insist upon cor recting the trivial error? Stanch friendships have often been pricked by this needle of useless correction It is a great art. this art of learning to allow others to be mistaken wher the mistake is unimportant Few learn it. but those who do are among the most comfortable friends one cal 1 have

BOYS
 ESCAPE FROh
 REFORMATORY
Break Their Parole and Skip Out From School At Benson. Are Walking Distance To BiSbee.

It was learned in the city last even ing that two boys, who had been com mitted to the territorial reform school at Benson, from Bisbee, some time ago, had run away from that place, and were on their way to this city. Up to late last night they had not been found, but undoubtedly will be today or tomorrow, and returned to the school, where they will be punished for their conduct
 The territorial reform school at Benson. is under the direction of Sup erintendent Mahoney, who has been in charge for several years past. The superintendent since he took the of flee has conducted the school very much the same as many boarding schools, it being his desire to make it attractive to young boys sent there. instead of having them think Of it as prison, and of themselves as con victs. The school is surrounded py an ordinay farm fence, about two feet high and the boys are placed on thelr honor, until they show themselves unworthy
 Curr Anderson, one of the boys who ran away, is 12 years of age. and Will liam Gibbs, the second runaway, is about 13. The former was sent to the school from Bisbee about a year ago for continued. bad behavior, and about six weeks ago Gibbs was sent there for insisting on staying out at nights and .nisbehaving.
 Over the telephone last evening Superintendent Mahoney stated that the boys had been working at the barn together for several weeks and had always been exemplary in their conduct until Tuesday afternoon, when they ran away and are probably on their road to Bisbee. They had no money and so are walking the dis tance and will probably be caught i'm mediately on their appearance here by James Blair, one of the school staff who is here Tor that purpose.

The Motel Man Turned His Court Ex.
 perienee to Account.
 A Missouri judge. travelling on cip. cult. once had before him in a sran country town case in which a tavern keeper ,-as held for the payment Of a large amount of money which he had not>agreed definitely to pay. The court declared that. although his agreement was not on record, it was involved by construction or implied In bis partic'- patton in a business proceeding con nected with it.
 After judgment had been rendered the court adjourned for dinner, ana the judge found that the only eating house in the place was the inn kept by the defendant in the case he had just decided. He also found that the de fendant personally superintended t5e preparation of the meals and that the food was charged for on the European plan.
 The judge called for two boiled eggs, which, with the other food he ordered. were brought to him done to turn. He ate them, and at the end of the meal the bill was presented to him. He was astonished to read on it the following items: Two boiled eggs. Ii cents; two chickens at 75 cents, $1.50.
 Calling the proprietor, he asked: Flows this? I've had no chickens. Why do you charge me for them?'
 Those are constructive chickens, your honor," answered the lnnkeeper. | "What?"
 "Why, they are implied in the eggs you know" the man persisted.
 His honor began to understand and said no more.-New York Times.

Although it had been seen once or twice before by at least half of the people of the audience last evening the great old English play. East Lynne" attracted a large audience to the Orpheum theatre. The story q the play is too familiar to need any mention but the work of the com pany in various parts is deserving of special notice Miss Gibney inter preted the part of the erring wife with great ability. It is very difficult role, requiring great deal of emo tional acting, but she did it full jus tice. As the polished villain. Walter Armin was especially clever. w. J Wilson, Miss Little, Miss Lawrence and Miss Robeson also deserve very favorable comment.

What It Costs to Feel and Think.
 Every throb of pleasure costs some thing to the physical system. and two throbs cost twice as much as one. If we cannot fix precise equivalent it is not because the relation is not def nite, but from the difficulties of redue- ing degrees of pleasure to a recognized standard Of this, however. there can be no reasonable doubt-nameiy. that a large amount of pleasure supposes a eorrespondingiy large expenditure of blood and nerve tissue, to the stinting. perhaps, of the active energies and the intellectual processes. It Is a matter of practical moment to ascertain what pleasures cost least, for there are thrifty and unthrifty modes of spend ! ing our brain and hearts blood. One of the safest of delights. if not very acute, is the delight of aboanding physical vigor, for, from the very sup position. the supply to the brain is not such as to interfere with the general interests of the system.-AIexander | Bain
