COST OF THE DRESS
Things Not Always as Cheap as They
 Seem.

The Timminses had been married about year. and during that time Timmins had never had 10 stake Mrs. ! Timmins to a single gown. wrap hat or anything for her wardrobe. Her l fond parents had fitted her out with a rousseau that held out through the first twelve months of their marriage. just like the champion of an endurance test.
 But at last things began to fray about the edges. and unless some thing was replaced here and there by and by Mrs. Timmins saw that she wouldn't have any more wardrobe than an actress owing a three weeks board bill The first thing she need ed was a gown for receptions and the like.
 She mentioned this ever SO casually one evening at the dinner table while Timmins sat munching idly on a cracker
 T think I'll look at something to- morrow for a winter gown" she re- marked, just as If it wasn't of any more consequence than that she had notion to eat another pickle.
 'Duds wearing out, hey?" responded Timmins. agreeably.
 Timmins had known this was bound to come, and he wasn't a tightwad anyway. but he had heard so much be- fore he was married about the cost of financing a wOman's wardrobe that the moment was one he had vaguely dreaded. Now that it had come. he madeup his mind to be generous.
 Well. you had better get whatever you need right now, before the win ter's over, and get some good out of it." said he magnanimouslv.
 The following evening she brought home enough samples to work up into a highly successful crazy quilt, and spread them over the davenport, near where he was sitting reading his pa- per.
 Do you like this one?" she inquired picking up a dark blue sample with green jiggers in it.

LET THE WORLD KNOW AND
 REMEMBER.

The Globe Silver Belt believes it would be a good plan to send a com mission to Washington to inform the national congress that Arizona is now leading the world in mineral produc- ton. and to point out to that benight- ed body the impropriety of keeping the champion metal producer in swad- ding clothes CHe think that is the way We have been describing our in fantile attire) any longer.
 That might help some: at least it could do no harm. but We think a commission to inform the entire world that Arizona is now the metal lie queen would be much more ser viceable than any representations which might be made to the congress. The position in which Arizona has been placed by its mines is much more enviable than any in which congress could possibly place us. A showing of the mineral wealth of Arizona such as has been made, if given proper publicity will mean more to the ter ritory than a star of statehood. The star would not be long in coming after the rush has set in.
 It was a similar but a much less showing that made states out of California. Colorado and Nevada. There will undoubtedly follow the demonstration which has just been made. a great influx of capital when the further fact is understood. that hardly more than an entrance into the storehouses of mineral wealth has yet been effected.
 Unless there are two commissions to be appointed. let the commission direct its efforts toward widespread publicity.
 We are already receiving the aid which invariably comes to the forum ate and successful The news of Ari- zona's triumph has been widely spread by news agencies and the coast pa pers. The Los Angeles Times mid- winter number contains a story of it and in addition an encouraging edi- toriaI in the course of which it says:
 Aside from the exploitation of her mineral wealth our sun-kissed sister has long been putting into execution plans that will make her one of the most prosperous agricultural regions on earth. Her vast irrigation pro- jects are nearing completion. She will soon raise everything that can grow from the ground. Myriads of cattle will roam her hills.
 The thing now is to let the world know and not let it forget Hammer il in that Arizona leads the world in mineral production; that its valley yield the first and best oranges and the earliest and most luscious can talOupes; that its ranges have made kings Of its cattlemen and princes of its sheepmen. while the irrigated fields have converted its ranchmen into greater or lesser potentates: that its banks. proved by the late panic, are as rock-ribbed as it's mountains; that it's school system is unsurpassed in the United States and that altogether it is as good q country to live in as II Is 10 make money in.

THAT SHOPPING EXPERIMENT


 Shortly before Christmas the au- thorities of a St. Louis insane asylum decided to allow fifty of the female inmates to go shopping in the depart ment stores. in the hope that the di- version would be beneficial 10 them. It cannot be positively stated whether the hope was realized or not. We were informed. however. by a dispatch from St. Louis. that the insane wo- men could not be distinguished from the thousands of other women who thronged the stores" This is some what ambiguous There have been department store crowds in which all the eager buyers seemed crazy. Are we 10 understand that the women from the asylum. however, eccentric and frenzied their behavior, simply followed the methods Of the maddened crowd, and thus were indistinguish- able from their supposedly sane sis ters? The department store experi- ment leaves much to conjecture. IL can hardly be regarded as a conclu- sive test. IL is calculated to make the normal feminine inhabitants of St Louis wonder what was meant by the reporter who instituted the suggestive comparison.

BIDDING FOR INDIAN LANDS
Big Yields In Lewiston Country Cause
Demand For Leases.

Big Yields In Lewiston Country Cause
Demand For Leases.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Sept 2.-The
big yields in the reservation country
this year have created a demand for
the Indian lands and sharp bidding
for leases is expected within the
next few weeks when the renewal of
leases commence. The Indians are
fully in touch with the situation
and are not slow to take advantage
of any condition that may assist in
boosting the rents.
The rentals for the Indian lands
vary from $1.75 to SO per acre de-
pending on location and productive
ness and the owners of the better
lands are now canvassing the farmers
to secure bidders when the present
leases expire. The rent money each
year amounts to approximately $500
600 and is paid between October
and January l. Some of the larg-
SSl laA MS III the i~S"lSlOh SOuhtlS
consist entirely of Indian lands where
the farmer has been able to combine
a number of leases and by their treat
ment hold the favor of the Indians
and continue the leases for a num-
Der of years. An invasion of these
lands by an outsider would work a
hardship on the larger renters, who
have made many permanent improve
ments and secured the necessary
equipment to handle the larger acre
ages.
The Indians farm lands are rented
for term of three years and leases
on large sections expire each year.

Those who were there to witness 1t

Rscape on 4 Technicalitr.

Parties convicted Of violating the law
sometimes escape paying the penalty
because Of technicalIties which have
no bearing upon the moral issue in
volved. Chagrin over the collapse Of
the famous rebate case against the
Standard on corporation Is natural.
but the effect Of the conviction and lay
ing OF the fine should not be lost be-
cause the Judgment was reversed. The
presiding judge in the trial court de-
clared that the law had been deliber-
ately violated, a view which most
men probably believe to be sound. He
regretted that the law did not permit
him to place a severer penalty upon
the transgressors. The reviewing court
held that the deliberate violation Of
the law had not been clearly proved
and that the cash penalty exacted was
unjust.
The first court branded with an In
delible mark the practice which has
destroyed wholesome competition and
laid unfair burdens upon the people.
The effect Of that conviction upon the
public mind can no more be removed
than that in the case of an embezzler
or a murderer whose wrongdoing Is
clearly established. but who may escape
through some technicality. Personal
disgrace and dlshonor remain for the
wrongdoer. and the close call serves
as a warning for others who might
imagine immunity an easy thing. 1t
has often been pointed out that the
act under which the Standard OIL re-
bate suit was brought Is inadequate
to give the public justice. But the
judgment of the public cannot be re-
versed. Guilty is its verdict. Under
the circumstances the plain and sim
Pile course is the right one-to accept
the law as authoritatively laid down
by both courts and proceed to a new
trial Of the case In strict accordance
with the law.

A ROMANCE IN TIN.
One Mans Fortune From the Price OF

Pair of Shoes.
Some years ago a man who had
started in business In Tasmania found
that he could not meet his engage
ments and was compelled to call
meeting of his creditors.
Among his assets were a number of
Mount Birschoff tin mine shares
which were regarded as worthless. II
was the first tin mine discovered in
Tasmania, and the output was not as
heavy as the prospectus declared 1t
would be.
The shares dropped in value, and
when the debtor offered them to his
creditors the latter refused to touch
them
Among the creditors was a poor
shoemaker who had supplied the man
with a pair of shoes. He offered to
take the shares in payment OF his
dent. No one raised any objection,
and he took the shares. saying, They
may turn out well some day"
Five years later, under proper man
agement, the mine developed into a
f1hhADAE ~ WIS
mountain of tin. and the shares sprang
up to an astonishing point.
Eventually the metal was "cornered"
by French syndicate, and. the shares
reaching a fabulous price, the once
INDECENT shoemaker sold out and real
tied a fortune.
The money was wisely Invested, and
