| One of the most prominent members of the
convention was the immortal Franklin. Thir-
ty-three years before he had drawn up plan
| OF colonial union, but neither the crown nor
the colonies would listen to him. and he was
forced to abandon it.
The famous Stamp Act Congress furnished
number of noted men to The Constitutional
Convention, among them Livingston, Rutlecge,
Sherman and Reed.
The names of Franklin, Sherman, Gerry,
Ctymer, Morris and Wilson were to be found
army furnished Washington, Hamilton, Pinck-
ney and Mifffn.
Patrick Henry, the trumpet of sedition.
as the British called him, was there to lift
his voice in the deep deliberations of the
convention, and near him sat young Edmund
Randolph, who was then Governor of Vir-
ginia.
These men had come together to form a
permanent government for the thirteen States
which had been wrested from the mother
country by war.
Tossing, the historian, truly says that they
had scarcely, precedent for their guide
Government by the people up to that date
was not success. The world had Witnessed
no such thing as lot of delegates chosen BY
the people meeting to frame a constitution.
1t was Randolph, standing on the floor of
the convention who suggested that the main |
duty of the assembly was to establish a |
national government, consisting of supreme |
Legislative, executive and judiciary" Thus |
guided, the convention went to work, and |
then there was clash of mighty opinions.

ne discovered the leak, stabbing the potatoes
out OF the water with the point of his knife
instead of picking them out with his hand.
1t was only natural that everything should
go wrong from the time the peeling of the
potatoes was commenced until they were final
" cooked, having the peeler feel as he did
shout the matter of taking off the skins.
And so no one would look for anything to
happen but for the potatoes to be spoiled in
the cooking; and that is just what happened.
Or, at least, they were spoiled as potatoes.
When Ed finally got them peeled he put
them over the fire to cook in the big stew
Kettle, pouring considerable water over them,

getting burned. Then he turned his attention
20 getting some of the other things ready,
and left the potatoes to take care of them
selves In the meantime. He supposed they
would go right on and cook without any fur
ther attention from him, and be ready for
taking up and serving when the proper time
came.
He was not little surprised, and consid-
era5ly annoyed, therefore, when, about thirty
minutes later, he went to the kettle and found
AZ IL Doiung mass OF white, watery stuff,
with not whole potato to be seen.
This was something he had not looked for
and he scratched his head in perplexity as he
viewed the contents of the Kettle.
lie was tempted to throw the stuff out at

the fear that some questions might be asked
regarding their absence from the bill of fare
led him to put on his thinking cap," as the
saying goes, and try to devise some means of |
remedying the difficulty
He thought first Of making some sort Of a |
stew out Of the mess by mixing in several |
other ingredients; but, not knowing Just what
other things to put in, he hesitated about
taking this step, and tried to think of some
other way to fix matters.

So he put these articles in, using condensed

the stuff together with a big stick he had

He found that it tasted fairly good, though

himself on getting out of the difficulty so

7T T has been said that the darkest perioc
Of American history Immediately pre-
ceded the signing of the Constitution
of the United States. In fact, the
new government was crumbling to pieces
much to the qualification of its enemies across
the water, and Washington himself was
haunted by the darkest forebodings
The States, as yet, had no fundamental
laws to bind them together, consequently dis
contents took advantage of the situation.
Western North Carolina actually revolted,
and the estate Of Franklin" was formed
+ A convention held at Portland talked about
erecting the Territory of Maine into an indie
pendent State, and Shay's rebellion was the
order of the day in Massachusetts.
! John Adams, our diplomatic agent to Eng
land, finding himself harassed by complica-
&ions arising out of a lack of a Constitution,
had received permission to return home-in
short, there was genuine grief in the heart
of every patriot in the land.
Washington, Hamilton and others had held
private meetings in the pariors of Mount Yer
non, and there the perilous situation was
gravely discussed.
'This Confederation appears to me little
better than a shadow" wrote Washington,
at this date, to friend.
The country for which he had fought seven
long years appeared to him on the verge Of
ruin.
At last, on the 18th of May, 1877, the
makers of the Constitution came together in
the same ball where eleven years before the
Declaration OF Independence came into ex-
istence.
The convention had no quorum until the
25th, when. 1t organized by electing Wash

who were putting up the table, to see if an,
of them were looking, and, finding they were
all busy, he slyly poured the beans back into
the can they had come out of, then threw
them with all the might he had far back into
the woods.
Mark, however. looked up just in time tc

Ed, all unconscious that he had been seen
throwing the beans, opened another can and
put them over to warm. He took better

Then, he and Herb went over by the creek

meath his coat and hurried back to Herb

Cananea Will Start Slowly

Charles f. Shelby, superintendent
of reduction for the Greene-Cananea
company, was d visitor at Bsbee last
week, on his way TO Canenea after d
months absence in New York at the
bedside of his wife, who has been
very i'll. She has now almost recov-
cred from her illness.
Regarding the resumption, Mr.
Shelby said that there would be no
hurry to have operations going full
blast. eve will start in very slowly,
and gradually incraese operations so
that it may be six months before all
the departments of the company are
in perfect working order. The vast
machinery of the company has been
entirely reorganized by DIR. Ricketts,,
and it is bigger task than most peo-
Pile can realize to have operations
conducted on a large scale again. 1t
will be some time before the many
new men employed in responsible
positions become fully conversant
with their duties, and that is the
main reason why the resumption is
to be slow one"
Mr.. Shelby, before coming to Can
enea, was smelter superintendent of
the Old Dominion at Globe. the smell
ter which is considered the finest
equipped in the country, the rebuilt
Canenea stnelter now ranking second,
according to experts. Mr.. Shelby is
one of the best smeltermen in the
country, and between him and DR.
Ricketts,, Greene-Canenea will -uu-
ioubtedly become one of the fore
most copper companies in the world.

IONA farmer will be glad to have the
facts about reliable staple like
cotton
Last months output from the
United Verde company mines was
slightly over 5000, 200 pounds of cop
per. The company is now operating
full time as compared with 80 per
cent. of capacity last fall and early
this year. Since March the company
has been turning out from $500, 600
to 100000 pounds monthly. The
United Verde is mining from both of
its shafts, one of which is 1000 feet
deep and the other about 500 feet.
A large part of the production is
coming from the 5th. 9th, 7th md 8th
levels. For a while the United Verde
was turning out its copper without
the use of roasting ores, but these
ores are now being used as formerly.
Costs in May, it is understood, were
somewhat lower than in previous
months of the current year, and in
these costs no consideration is taken
of the precious metal values in the
ores. The ores in the United Verde
mine are not SO rich as they were
twelve or fifteeA years ago when,
with gold and silver credited against
operations, very low cost resulted.
At the present time, however, COSTS
are not running far from last years
average of 10 and II cents.

Miranda pointed out that if this
was done, most of the Mexicans gath
