How to Clean Tan Leather,

The knowledge that tan leather is hard to clean at home keeps a great many people from wearing 1t as much as they would like. Unless one is very careful the efforts of renovating make 1t become dark and streaked In places. Heavy tan gloves. which arc almost every ones greatest comfort, can be kept fin good condition by taking a damp rag and rubbing it over the sur face. This removes the dirt and re- stores the original color. Yellow shoes. which no girl considers herself in the latest style without, can be cleaned by putting q few drops of turpentlne on a woolen rag and rubbing them evenly all over. When dry, polish with q soft brush, and they will look like new.

How Birds Nee. Emsrosneis.,

Dr. Francis H. Herrick says spar row will pluck horsehair from the mouth of nestling while another bird, like an oriole, will stand by and see Its mate hang until dead without attempting to release 1t.
 A robin will tug at a string which has caught on limb, but is never seen fully to meet the situation by releasing the string. It will make several turns of cord about limb and leave the other end free without any relation to the nest, so that its effort Is useless. It ties no knots.
 Tho gull, according to abundant and competent testimony. will carry shell fish to considerable height, drop them on the rocks or hard ground and repeat the experiment until 1t gets the soft meat-Chicago Tribune.

An Incident That Famed the Inquisi.

An Incident That Famed the Inquisi-
 tive Man For Time.
 There is not so much fun to be got out of the inquisltive man. He is gen orally mere nuisance, but occasion ally he furnishes food for merriment. A certain down east storekeeper was so extensively inquisitive that it was determined to teach him a lesson. Among his failings was desire to ex- anime the contents of every package which his friends deposited in his store for safe keeping. He must sec the in- side if he had to break the package open. One day man, left a stout leather bag, asking that no one disturb It. The proprietor walked around rest lessiy for awhile and then stopped near the bag. Apparently no one was looking. In reality all the store loung- CTS were in the secret and were anx- iously awaiting his next move. He neryously fingered the cord that tied the top of the bag for a minute and then quickly united it. hs had no time to look in before the contents came forth. They consisted of score Of large and spirited hornets. and the way they lit on all the exposed DOT tions Of that inquisitive man was caution. He shot out of the store at pace that would have done credit to sprinter. They say that for year afterward he hardly looked into his own sugar barrel without asking per mission.-St, Louis Globe Democrat.

 A volley of queries was fired at him, and the encyclopedia breathlessly told the distance of the earth from Mars, the number of bones in the human skeleton, of square miles in the British empire and other equally important facts.
 There was brief pause, in which an American stood up. What great event took place July 4, 17T6?" he pro- pounded in loud, glad voice.

"SAPPHO."

DAfTf1O.
 The ice cream and cake carnival attracted a large audience to the
 Jacques this afternoon where Polls Own Stock company is giving an ex- cellent production of "Sappho," The
 play itself has won the highest com mendation from patrons of the thea ter and this work of Alphonse Dau- det's is without doubt the strongest and most forceful offering the stock company has made. Miss Nordstrom plays the role of the unfortunate Fanny Legrand with fine apprecia- tion. She is especially good in the emotional scenes. David M. Hartford makes an excellent Jean and the sup porting company is unusually strong. The play has been given an excellent production under the personal direc- tion of H. Percy Meldon. Between the acts there are motion pictures and the popular vocalist, Allan. Dug gan, sings new illustrated songs. Next week the play will be the comedy drama Captain Swift" Ladies gold watches will be given away to the ladies each afternoon. Polls popular prices.

MARK SMITHS SERVICE
AS MEMBER OF CONGRESS.


In calling attention to tie valiant
services of Hon. Mark Smith, dr.
ing his long service in congress- as =
delegate from Arizona. tie Cocaise
county central committee returned
thanks to one OF the most loyal and
patriotic men who ever sat IN con
gress. 1t was right that praise and
promise OF future support should ''e
given to Mark Smith by tie demo
Gratis of Cochise county. 1t was i'll he
year 1856, when Mark Smith. young
man just getting acquainted with Inc
west was offered by the dem, rats
of this county as candidate for dele
gate to congress; at that time Mr..
Smith was holding the office of dis
trict attorney of Cochise county, re-
siding at Tombstone where he had
been during the halcyon days of that
camp. Since then Mark Smith hr~
been in congress continuously with
the exception of six years. he having
declined to become a candidate three
times on account of the necessity to
attend to his private business. Dur
ing all these years there has never
been blemish found on the Official
character of Mark Smith; there has
never been a suspicion that he had
been implicated in a dishonorable
transaction, political or otherwise.
there has never been one to charge
that he had ever failed to stand for
Arizona and her people against the
balance Of the world. 1t has been
many years since Mark Smith trans
ferred his residence from Tombstone
to Tucson, but it may be said that
he never knew a time in the Iops
past or recent years when ne cou,d
more confidently rely on his home
Arizona county for admiration and
support than now.

WANTS TO KNOW.

An editorial writer on the Los An
gelcs Herald perpetrates the follow
ing:
Republican spellbinders are get
ting into trim and it is the duty OF
good democrats to prepare to trim
the spelIbinder. Here is a question
for spellbinder to answer: Since
republican prosperity implies abund
ance Of money, plenty to eat and
drink and wear, constant employ
:2ent and all kinds Of delightful love
Illnesses which we need not catalogue
why is it that the tide of immigration
during the republican administration
for the first time in American his.
tory. became a tide of emigration
Why did foolish people by the thous,
ands and hundreds of thousands run
away from republican prosperity,
fleeing across the Atlantic in order
to escape from it, and skedaddling
across the line to Canada?"
