tute a most appropriate memorial of
an alumus of the institution who was
a statesman and diplomat Of the first
rank as well as a star In the literary
armament. In view of John Hays
prominence in literature and his de-
votion to scholarship and a broad cub
ture 1t Is deemed especially suitable
that his memory should be preserved
and cherished at the university where
he studied by a building which will
encourage reading and study of the
books that the best and greatest minds
of the world have left behind as their
monuments. The erection OF the IL
brary was made possible through The
gifts of about twenty-five friends of
secretary Hay, who contributed $780,
600, and TO this amount Andrew Car
total of 100000. With this 1t will be
possible to create a structure worthy

much revered name.
The Hay Memorial library will have
a frontage of a little over 100 feet,
facing the university campus, and the
style of architecture followed will be
that OF the English Renaissance of the
period of Sir Christopher Wren. The
material will be Indiana limestone.
The late Secretary Hay wrote the
class poem when he graduated from
Brown h4S5S, IL inthe
midst of his arduous duties as secre-
tary to President Lincoln. he wrote a
charming ode In commemoration of
the centennial of the establishment of
the institution.

Multum In Paro.

There is nothing that better illus.
trates this old saying of much in lit
tle' than a piece of work done by a
Mr.. Webb of London a few years ago.
He invented a machine with which,
using a tiny diamond point. he wrote
on glass the whole of the Lords Pray
err within a space measuring the two
hundred and ninety-fourth part of al
inch In length by the four hundred
and fortieth of an inch in breadth, OF
about the size of the dot of the letter
"r' in ordinary print. A skillful OPP
orator of that wonderful machine could
write the whole 3,566,4S s letters Of the
Old and New Testaments eight times
over within the space of n inch
square. When Mr.. Webb's inscription
of the Lords Prayer was enlarged by
photography, every letter and point
was perfect and could be read with
ease.-Chicago News.

SPIRIT OF THE WOODS.
Indian Tradition as to the Origin OF
Tobacco, Wheat and Corn.


Long years ago two Indian youths
pursuing the pleasures of the chase,
were led to a remote and unfrequented
part of the forest, where, being ia.
tigued and hungry, they sat down tc
rest themselves and prepare food.
While they were thus employed the
spirit of the woods, attracted 1t is sup.
posed by the unusual and savory smell
Of the venison, approached them In
the form of a beautiful female and
seated herself beside them. The
youths, being struck with gratitude
for the condescension which she had
shown them in becoming their guest
presented her in the most respectful
manner with a share of their repast,
which she was pleased to accept with
seeming satisfaction.
The repast being finished, the spirit
having Thanked tfgm co~rdfit1r1ry-fe
their attention and informed them that
il they would return to the same
place after the passing of twelve
moons they would find something that
would recompense their kindness, dis
appeared from their sight.
The youths, having counted the
moons and having returned at the APP
pointed time, found that Upon the
place on which the right arm of the
goddess had reclined an ear of Indian
corn had sprung up, from the place
where her left arm had been appeared
a stalk of wheat, and from the spot
on which she had been seated was
growing a aourishing plant of to-
bacco.

THE. ALBUQUERQUE ExPosITIol

THE. ALBUQUERQUE EXPOSITION
 With their characteristic energy the people of Albuquerque are going to make the coming irrigation congress one to be remembered. It is perhaps not quite accurate to say that they are going to make it the adjunct or tail of an exposition, but rather that they are going to make it an occa- sion for an exposition, the greatest ever held in the southwest.
 They say that their chief object is to convince the country at large that the territory of New Mexico is ripe for statehood by a display of re- sources of which the east has not dreamed. Albuquerque invites Ari- zona to make use of the occasion for the same purpose. The occasion has been prepared by Albuquerque at great expense but it generously offers the use of it to us free of any charge whatever.
 We believe we will get statehood anyhow but a good display at the irrigation congress would clinch the matter and what is still more to the financial purpose would benefit this territory as it was never benefited before by a display of resources. Arizona can loom large in the Albu- querque exposition which is only for the southwest, whereas our exhibits have necessarily always loomed small in the great expositions where the varied resources of the whole coun- try were brought together.

PROHIBITION IN TEXAS.

Ten years ago Texas was not look ed upon as a promising field for the cultivation of the prohibition plant yet in many respects, within the last leading states in the prohibition col umn. We do not mean that there is state wide prohibition there though the democratic primary of last Sat urday showed a strong if not over whelming sentiment in that direction
 But in many counties of Texas there has for a long time been ab- solute prohibition, the kind that pro- hibits because public sentiment has been behind it and because public opinion demanded the punishment of those who violate the law.
 There has been nothing sentimental, moral, religious or political behind the prohibition movement in Texas nor in any of the other southern states. It has been regarded as a matter of public policy and nothing else. The southern prohibitionists are by no means all strict temperance people but they do not believe it is best for the community that liquor should be offered for sale to the ire distinguishing between the responsi- ble and the irresponsible it is kept away from all.
 The attitude of Texas toward the liquor business is illustrated in the law making it a penal offense to drink intoxicants on railroad trains. Though the law applies equally to the temperate traveller who may take a modest drink from his private bottle it was not aimed at him but at cow boys and other effervescent persons who saturated themselves with whis- ky, carried bottles into the cars and having drunk themselves into a sort of insanity, shot holes in the roof and otherwise annoyed their fellow travellers.
 A continuation of this sort of thing was regarded as contrary to public policy and it was discontinued by a law which rests as heavily on the peaceful and self-contained drinker if he happens to get caught.
 What has been done for prohibition in Texas has been done without hur- rah and without aid from the out side. There has been no campaign
  of education. The conditions merely became such that prohibition grew spontaneously in most of the counties. The crop needed no nursing or fore ing

A TIMELY DEPARTURE
 SO II Is RELATED
The Friendship of Married Lady For
 Young Man Caused the Trouble.

When charming Mrs. Mary Charle- bois and D. c. Foss left Phoenix on the Southern Pacific Tuesday evening, did they purpose to duck MT. Charle- bois and his wrath? In this question is barred the tale of domestic infelicity as it was vended about the streets yesterday.
 Some say that they departed togeth- CT, while the young man gave out that he was going to New York and she to California. Foss has been a drug clerk at Boehmer's drug store for sometime and resided at the Ven dome where Mrs. Charlebois was also rooming. She was employed for sometime at the American Kitchen in the capacity of cashier and was quite well known.
 Mrs Charlebois has two children, one of which is now in the Catholic school and the other in the care of MT. Renaud living near Alhambra. She and Foss have been intimate friends and have been seen frequently to- gether. It is said that in some way this reached the ears of MT. Charle- bois who is a forest ranger near Flagstaff and that he was to arrive in Phoenix on the day following the departure of the couple. It is further added that the news of his coming sent the chill of apprehension and fear into the breasts of both young SpeOple and that they thereupon determined to vanish from the scene. Mrs Charlebois is a very attractive young woman, medium build and light com pleXion.

D1scoRD OVER BABY's THUMB.

DISCORD OVER BABY'S THUMB.
 Should baby be allowed to suck its thumb? This question was the cause of domestic disputes in a Los An geles family, which finally led to an estrangement and an action for di- vorce The father, who was a phy- sician, took the ground that the child ought not to be permitted to lunch off it's dear little thumb. Its mother. with precedent and tradition to sup port her, thought otherwise. Medi- cal experts, who have been inter viewed on the subject, side with the father of the Los Angeles child. An infants thumbs were not intended to be sucked, said one of them. It is injurious to the child because 1t wastes the saliva between meals. Be- sides, the habit may cling to the child after it has passed its infancy, and be cause of embarrassment in addi- ton to its interference with diges- tion. These opinions place the moth CT in the wrong, but as they were made by men she would doubtless declare them prejudiced against her. What is a baby's thumb for if not to be sucked? she might ask. Ger tainly it serves no other useful pur- poose
