Good Suggestion
 for Consolation

A good suggestion from the Prescott Courier:
 Arizona will some day be admitted to statehood. It may be a long time in con- ing, but that good day will surely come. Let us build up our cities and develop all the resources of this marvelousiy rich country of ours. Let us all line up together. boost everything and everybody that deserves it. Incidentally let us pave our streets and build up our public highways. If we do this we will be so busy, so prosperous and so happy that we will not grieve so much over having been deirauded of our rights in the statehood matter"

An Object Lesson
 Made of the Snow

The snow is being used in the pub lie schools as sn object lesson. One of the teachers today was lectuting to the various classes, most of whose members never saw such deep snow before, giviny them talk like this {; Now, scholars, you will pay particu. lar attention while enlighten you on snow. No, Johnnie, I will not re- cite any snow poetry, but snow in the way down east country is used t. keep the people indoors for several months each year. It is used by the farmer to transport his products tc market, as on sled team can haul more than on s wagon. When chil dren plod to school iu the east whil, the snow is rp to the roofs of the houses they often get their feet frost
 bitten and then they spend the sum mer vacation rubbing the chilblains. About this time in the teachers lee, ture little miss put up her hand
 and in reply to the question, "Well
 what is it, Jennie?" the little tot re
 plies, Please, teacher, may I stay ir Arizona" And in calmly thinking it over we are inclined to think that if the entire east only knew, Arizons wou dn't hold the rush that would be on to enjoy our matchless climate.

What a vilIainous
 World This ls!'

Alawyer charges a man ten dollars for ten minutes con- versation-the man insists on payment it. A doctor charges one dollar for a prescription and the patient says: ''ls that enough?" An undertaken charges one hundred dollars for conducting a funeral and he is perfectly lovely with everybody inside and outside the family. A man buys a gold brick and apologies for no. having bitten before. An editor walks a mile in the hot sun to get the facts of a death or wedding or social function and spends three hours writ ing it up, says nice things about everybody, and then gets blamed because some body's name happened to be left out of those present. He tells lies until he hates himself about every old thing under the sun, suppresses all th' drunks and disorderlies h, knows of, and then when h, charges five cents straight fo three extra copies he is mean old cuss that wants tn earth, and charges as mucl as the city papers twice a large.
