IN A MINING TOWN.
1Anas Conditions Similar to Thoss
yyyhinf, Prevailed In old Dayo.

bAaas Conditions Similar to Those
which. Prevailed In Ola Days.
A Pittsburger, now in Bisbee, Ariz.,
| writes Interestingly Of life In that IA
nous mining town, and his description
| would lead one to believe that some OF
the conditions which prevailed In the
! old romantic days Of mining towns
haven't changed much, after all. He
says:
"Bisbee is Just 10 feet more than a
| mile high, and has the finest library
| Of any city Of Its size in the universe.
Every daily of any consequence Is to
, be found on file there.
"Bisbee lies right in the heart OF the
! mountains and Cochise Peak, Young
| Blood hill and Chihuahua hill rise per-
pendicularly to the north, west aga
south Of it. Beer Gulch Is a classic
t%horoughfare and is not anything else
than it's name implies. There are sew
enteen saloons In one block. and at
8 n. m. it is as noisy as Bedlam. There
is only m tree in the town, a sickly-
looking cottonwood In the yard Of Wal
ter Douglass, one Of the big mining
men Of Arizona and the state Of Sonora,
Mexico.
college men are as thick in Bisbee
as flies in Kansas City. l roomed with
two Harvard, one Yale and two Mis-
scuri School OF Mines men during the
five months I put In in Bisbee. There
are four thriving banks, and n (the
Bank Of Bisbee) is as elegantly fur
nished as any bank in America. Hand
a barber or porter anything less than
two bits and he will give it back to
you. "
"You are aroused at an unearthfy
hour by the braying of burros, of which
there are thousands. Mexicans lead
these little fellows with great loads,
and, with a belled burro, make trips
into the mountains. Before B1sbee had
waterworks many Mexicans made for
tunes by bringing water from the noun
tains on burros and selling it at exor-
bitant prices. I bought two burros for
six bits apiece and then had to disclaim
ownership when feeding time came,
which a burro never fails to let you
know. Hay Is $50 a ton, SO the owner
of q burro has to have plenty Of time
to rustic, or he will get the Anti-noise
Society after him..
"Chinese and Japs bring in produce
from the ranches, but neither Chink
nor Jap can remain in Bisbee after 4
p. m. 1t is a city ordinance similar to
the custom in certain Philippine towns,
where a bugle is blown at 4, and the
Moros with their bolos are let out Of
the gates"

The st. Louis Court Of Appeals in

sence Of an attorney from the u In
which he has business, and when he
should be there to attend to it, and
when his absence delays or impedes h
courts business, constitutes a contempt
of court. An attorney at law Is an Of

cumbent on him to attend the sittings
Of the court when a case in which he Is

AS the Democratic State Committee

sion will be enjoined. The court is Of

This was a prosecution for embezzle-

criminal case, the State had obtained a
judgment in a civil action by it against
accused and his bondsmen. This jucg-
ment was admitted in evidence against
accused In the criminal case. On the

Judgment was admissible. but on re-

Coates House and began running q
finger down the list Of signatures, says
the Kansas City Star. He evidently
did mot find the name he was looking
for, SO he turned the leaves back and
started to close the register.
A terrified look came over the
clerks face and he seized the young
fellows wrist with both hands. The
book fell back open,
.Here-whyl the young fellow ex-
claimed in surprise. "Who do you take
me for? Mrs. Guinness in disguise7 I
was Just looking Tor a name on the
register"

the clerk, that the greatest calamity
that can happen 10 a hotel IL for its
register to be closed? That IL our one
superstition. II you did that at some
hotels 1 know OF in the southwest the
proprietor would shoot you"
The clerk glanced down at the open
register and shuddered.

HONESTY MAKEs pERMANENT SUCCESS.

@ GREAT fortune has been held, per sc, to

N no be oppressive and dishonest has been
- declared the only way to attain great fnan-
k$6H%AEEI cial success. This we claim to be untrue
&gSzHN as a statement of fact, and at the same
time a dangerous doctrine by a plain law
OF Psychology. Young men want success spelled with a
big IS and the ambitious are not satisfied short OF q
fair degree Of material reward. For this there is no
moral blame. But already the harm has been done In
making the false suggestion that In order to be success
full one hasnnly to be '.slick," overshrewd, dishonest. In
the far-reaching influence Of simple suggestion we have
one Of the most valuable contributions Of modern psy-
chology. The smallest word Of suggestion can reshape
: career. THUS the erroneous preaching Of many q sin
cere moral leader has worked we know not how much
harm. With q true conception Of what constitutes the
highest aim OF life, there has been coupled a false sug-
Gestion OF how to obtain what may be called a lower
form OF SUCCESSIVE material. On the contrary, the les
son always to be driven home Is that real success
moral, intellectual or eeonomic-comes only as the re
ward Of honest effort on tho part Of every man. No other
thought should ever be suggested. The surest way to
any lasting pre-. eininence, even though 1t be financial, is
the way of oid-fashioned honesty and integrity. These
qualities were never more valued than to-day. and now,
