crystals clear as diamonds. Her comb,
banded with delicate pink coral, held
in place a coronet of glinting golden
brown braids, adjoining but not dis
gusing the shapeliness of her perfect
ly poised head. And from all this
misplaced elegance a short red calico
apron screamed at the eye with the ar
rogance of a boor in power.
Calmly unconscious of Alfreds scru-
tiny, Stella was coming and going,
preparing the late supper.
The team, unhitched but not unhar-
messed, was fed, blanketed and tied to
the coach wheels in front of the door;
and Uncle Billy stepped inside and
addressed Vincent and Cadwallader.
Il reckon you two fellehs will have
to take turns guarding that team while

Gideon came in with an armful Of
wood. Alfred saw him answer the
drivers unspoken call, saw both
leave the house without looking at
Stella, though her apprehensive eyes
followed them through the door into
the night.

Hint for Washinq Hair,

To avoid tangling the hair VIII
washing it, first separate it into t
parts by running the comb from
forehead straight down the back
the head. Then divide each of the
parts into two and make four SIN
braids instead of one large one. WI
the washing is done, if each braid

will be few, if any. tangles. This is
especially good idea in washing

as the other is expensive, this serves
as a good substitute. 1t washes well

ALL MADE MONEY
 ON RANCH PROPERTY
A Few illustrations of Big Profits on Small Investments in this Valley.

The Spaulding Rinard company re- ports the following sales that have not been mentioned in former reports The west half of the southeast quarter of section 13, north and east to Nelson Bradley. This eighty acres of land has a history which is worth no ticing. Four years ago MT. Spaulding bought this land at a cost of S1,400 and after keeping it two years sold it to F. M. Avis for $2400; Mr Avis sold it to Lewis Raffe before he (Avis) had paid more than $2O0, for S2S0O, thus making $400 on an investment of but $200. MT. Raffe has just received in the sale to MT. Bradley considerably over s5OO0.
 The east half of the northeast quar- ter of section 23, 3 north and l east, was also sold to MT. Bradley. This land has an intersting history. Less than two years ago MT. Spaulding sold this eighty to a friend in Chicago for $2000 and just one year helped sell it to F. M. Avis for about 5000. MT. Avis put up but $1000 on the deal In the sale just made Avis receives more than 5000 more than he paid and all on an investment of 5000. But that is not all, as MT. Bradley sold to Dr. H.

 GONE TO PRESCOTT-W. S.
 Goldsworthy went to Prescott yes terday on business and will today at
 tend a family reunion at Mayer. and
 look over some of the mining prop critics in that vicinity.
 THE GAME TODAY-The city league game today will be the Ma iroons against the Fraternals and its result will somewhat determine who will be the champions of the three teams. Quiros will be in the box for the Maroons and Williams for the Frats. Next Saturday and Sun day the Prescott Grays will come to
 Phoenix for two and possibly three games The terms have not yet been fully agreed upon but they will be made satisfactory to all parties con- cerned at a meeting of the committee today The first terms offered were not acceptable to the Grays' manager and will have to be revised. The blood of the Prescott baseballists is now up, for they want to play for either 40 or 60 per cent, or will even
 be willing to play on terms by which the winner takes all and the loser gets nothing. but vain and futile re- grets. From the way the Prescott manager talked over the phone last night a big delegation will come down from the Pine City on Decora- tion Day.

MARKET COLLAPSED
 All THE WEEKS LIND
All Support of Prices Was Apparently Withdrawn.

New York. May 23.-Prices of stocks collapsed with great violence during today's short session of the market. The outpouring of stocks was heavy in some quarters but q striking feature was the disappearance of all traces of support which had been present through all stages of advance and the period of digestion of profits. There were mixed opinions on the street as to the motives for this sudden change of policy. The filing of the suit of the government against the New Haven railroad for a violation of the anti trust law was much dwelt upon as belying the assumption that truce had been arranged between the ad- ministration and the corporations and that a tacit agreement had been reached for a sOftening of the rigOrs of prosecution against the railroad corporations. Others believe that the collapse represented a normal culmin- atiOn of the movement.

H. Stone before his deed was on record at an advance of several hundred dol lars. The best of it all is that the parties who bought last in both in stances will, in all probability make more than any of the former owners as the land is far from being to its full value yet.
 This firm has also sold twenty acres to MT. Vernon Reynolds and seven lots in Churchill addition near the high school. The lots sold will all be built on. only a few more ots will be sold in this neighborhoOd when the balance will be withdrawn for better prices than the market will stand at the present time.

TRIBUTE TO "BLIND TOM'

and playing. From that time onward he was the pet of the family.
 I cannot trust myself to write Of him as I feel. It is as if some trusty. well loved mastiff-mute but affectionate- closely associated with the dead and gone had been suddenly recalled to be as sud- denly taken away. The wires that flash his death tighten a picture gallery for me of the old, familiar faces. What was he? Whence came he? Was he the prince of the fairy tale held by the wicked en- chantress; nor any beauty-not even the heaven born maid of melody-to release him? Blind, deformed and black-as black even as Erebus-idiocy, the idiocy of a mysterious, perpetual frenzy, the sole companion of his waking visions and his dreams-whenee came he, and was he, and wherefore? That there was a soul there, be sure. imprisoned. chained in that little black bosom, released at last; gone to the angels, not to initiate the seraph songs of heaven, but to join the choir invisible forever and forever.

HUMANS AND CIGARS.

From the New York Press.
 Some people" said the smoker, Ire mind me of a cigar that burns down one side faster than the other. l sup pose you will say that this is because of an unevenness in temperament, which makes them-well, not wear smoothly or in an all-round fashion. That may be the obvious parallel to darw, but was thinking of something else. They seem to me like an un- evenly burning cigar, because their ten draw, but I was thinging of something They overstep themselves in some inn portant particular or other. They are too eager, for one thing-and they show it. They are too anxious, Tor another-and they show that. They are too desirous of pleasing others, for third. They burn down, in effect, too quickly on one side, and most of them never understand what is the trouble.
 "rm not much of a philosopher, but can see that when in the daily routine we show our hand too much, or, rathe~. get into a state of mind when we can't help showing our hand. the a1l-round results are not apt to be especially satisfactory. To follow out the cigar simile, we consume too fast a special line of weakness. And a little wind o1 unpleasantness or misfortune will make the calamity worse.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Stock Market.

Henry Clews. in his weekly anancia1 review, says;
 "The stock market has shown dull ness usually experienced previous to important political contingencies. With the removal of politics from consider ation, temporarily at least. the mar ket is likely to be governed more by natural influences. The technical posi- tion of the market is a strong one; and the floating supplies of stocks are chiefly in strong hands, who have no difficulty whatever In carrying large holdings in the present. easy condition of the money market. It Is true that the market has had a very remarka- ble recovery since the October panic, and that prices appear high in view of the many remaining unfavorable conditions. But as tendencies are to- ward improvement and confidence Is rising it Is difficult if not impossible to induce holders to part with stocks; especially when they are so strongly concentrated as at present.
 wall street will not long rest satis- fled with a stationary market; efforts will soon be made to force prices either upwards or downwards, much depend ing on the future course of business. There Is no question but that the ten dency here is toward steady recupera- ton; nor is there any doubt but that the worst of the crisis was passed last winter The future therefore now chief ly depends upon the crops. AS is all ready known these are very promis- ing; the larger acreage and the gen. orally high condition of grain, cotton, hay, fruits and vegetables all assuring the farmers of a profitable year. June, however, is usually the period of high est condition for many of the crops July and August are frequently months of deterioration, and September al- ways brings the danger of frost to corn and cotton, two of our principal crops. To this extent, then, the future is uncertain; yet, allowing for the aver age loss in condition during the past 10 years, we should still have crops much above the average, for which profitable prices will be had, and of which Europe will take all we can spare"

stand. A bin built the size of a city block. 600 feet by 200, would need to be more than six miles high to hold this wheat and corn alone. The hay and cotton crops and the stupendous annual egg yield of the American hen are in bulk and value equally amaz- ing"
 The crops are large enough to drive out pessimism and to bring back a belief in the country's sound ness and broad basis of prosperity, and that is best of all. These crops will soon be ready for the harvester and the transporter and then orders to the merchant and manufacturer will begin to flow in. That means a return of good times and business activity.

HOTELS THAT HAVE PASSED.

From the New York World.
 New York builds hotels fast but it loses them fast as well. To the death-roll of famous hostelries is added now the name of the old Everett House. And this with in four-year period which has seen the passing of the Morton House, the Hotel Cambridge, the Normandie. the Ven Fifth Avenue. little further back the registers were closed finally of the old Metropolitan, the St. James, the Bruns- wick, the United States, the St. Cloud the St. Nicholas and the Stevens House. The Windsor disappeared with fire and tragedy.
 Some hotels remain, but not the same. The Hoffman House and the Grand are practically new; the former Grand Cen tral scene of the Stokes-Flsk shooting, is now the Broadway Central.
 There is much old and highly decorative furniture in the Everett. We are told that three special pieces cost S5oo origi- nally, a fact which is interesting but not impressive in these times of multi-million palaces for lavish guests. But if twen- tieth century hotels show marvellous ad- vances over the old-time houses in luxury of outftting, it is true perhaps that they are behind in other regards. Christ mas table d'hote of 1850 is noted. at Rath- buns for which 13 entrees were listed, with eight roasts and II kinds of game. And the best champagne was g quart!

ON "LITTLE JOE" BROWN

and his deep blowing. It is his pride and boast to have raised ST bushels of corn and 70 of oats to the acre on his farm in Cherokee county.
 ''There is nothing of the sport, the so- ciety leader or the bravado-whatever that may be-about Little Joe writes MT. John Corrigan, Jr., in his personal history of this worthy. His voice is deficient in resonance, but he is one Of the most accomplished of letter writers. Moreover. he is an author of credit and renown.
 "In 1886 MT Brown wrote and published a history of the Atlanta campaign whlch was paid the remarkable tribute of peins praised by both Gen. Joseph D. Johnston and Gen. W. T. Sherman as being an accurate and impartial history of that event On learning that the author had received letters on both sides of this fierce struggle commenting the accuracy of the account, Gen. Marcus J. Wright stated he had never before heard of such thing in the history of war. MT. Brown also wrote a historical romance of the mountain campaign, called Kenesaw's Bombardment.'
 "In his leisure hours for the past sev- era1 years MT. Brown has been working on historical romance of America. This was his greatest source of diversion in his hours of relaxation and freedom from routine business cares. The volume was called Astyanax' and was issued last year,
 The title of this romance shows MT. Browns classical taste. His literary pur- suits were brought up against him in the campaign as evidence of his want of ac- auaintance with business and his unfitness for public office. Fortunately, Georgia, is fond of literature, and for 1t she for gave MT. Browns want of oratory It will be seen that Little Joe," if not a sport and "bravado," is good deal Of an "all-round man."

Our Approaching HarYaStS

Chief Statistician Clark of the agri- cultural department considers a fine harvest practically assured, and he estimates the value of the crop of 1908 at $8,000,O0o,0O0
 This is eight times the national in- terest-bearing debt. It nearly equals the entire bonded indebtedness of all the railroads of the country. It is more than the assessed values of New York. Chicago. New Orleans, St. Louis, Se- attle and San Francisco combined,
 "Corn," says ne New York World, "does not travel far fem the place where it fig raised, which is lucky, as there are not railroads enough to carry it. A crop of 2,7O0,0O0,000 bushels should load 2,52O,O00 oc-tcn cars, 54o,- coo more freight cars than ;here are in the country of every sort. The freight cars of all the world would not carry our wheat and crrn. If there were cars enough and if the wheat and corn were loaded into 30-ton cars, 40 to . train, and trains were run at two. mile intervals it a speed including stops of 90 miIeg an hour night and day, it would take nearly six months tor the procession to pass 2 reviewing

Automobile Speed.

T do not own an automobile and sell dom ride in one," said a business men, 'but I think cities are somewhat too stringent in keeping down speed.
 "Auto-cars should not be allowed to run at a mile-a-minute clip through the streets, but a speed of 20 or 30 miles an hour in the quiet highways and F miles in the business district would not seem unreasonable. There have been very few accidents from automobiles. As a rule the chauffeurs are careful in handling their machines; besides people on the streets usually keep out of the way.
 'Elyton is going too far when it says automobiles must run through that town no faster than four miles an hour. Our worthy must be joking. A man can walk four miles an hour and there is hardly a delivery wagon that does not go through the streets of Birmingham at the rate of 10 miles an hour. There is certainly no reason for holding down an auto-car to a rate of four miles an hour''
