Sometimes strange difficulties are

who endeavoring to teach Christian

One of the most conscientious, as
we'll as one of the brightest and
prettiest of the these teachers, was
attempting in a Harlem Sunday
school recently to inculcate upon
the heather" mind of a sleek look
ing Monaghan the lesson of charity
toward all.
God loves everyone" she said.
I'VE should love everyone"
The Chinese looked meekly up
into her face and quietly asked:
Does God love mel"
YES" the young woman replied
DO you love everyOne?" was the
next pointed inquiry.
Yes" she answered.
DO you love me?"
"Y-y-yes.
will you mally me?"
There was no direct answer t,
this question, but the teacher ha

W. (. I. U. CONVENTION NOT SUFFRAGIST MEETING
No Great Stress Laid on the Ballot
 Question.

Omaha, Oct. 26.-Equal suffrage ad- vocates did not get much comfort from the platform adopted today at the Ma tional w. c. T. U. convention. This is how the question was disposed of: We affirm that the ballot may be in centive to good citizenship. We be- lieve qualifications for suffrage should be based upon intelligence, and not upon sex or any other insurmountable obstacles" There is no question that the convention will stand for total ab- stinence. however. A resolution de- clared strongly against compromise with moderate drinking. and the abso- iute stunning of liquor is advocated.
 The platform asks congress for the enactment of law prohibiting inter- state commerce in intoxicating liquors by placing under federal control the shipment of liquors from one state to another when the consignee is not a local dealer" and ito prohibit the is- suance of an internal revenue tax receipt unless the applicant shows that he has, complied with the require ments of the -aw of his state'' Presi- dent Taft is asked to use his preroga- tive to abolish the sale of intoxicants in the Panama canal zone.
 Child labor was denounced and the organization is pledged to- secure a minimum working wage by federal en- actmcnt.

The case of Dr. E. B. Perrin, re- gently disposed of by the department of justice, is of some interest to Ari- zona because of Dr. Perrin's long residence in this territory. Dr. Perrin was charged, with John A. Benson. of San Francisco. with having entered into a conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment of timber lands. Dr. Perrin was convicted. He appealed from the decision. and a new trial was ordered. The trial is to be abandoned. At torney General Wickersham. after a careful examination of the record, concluded that although Benson was justly convicted of fraud. Dr. Perrin was innocent of 1t. Dr. Perrin has all ways insisted that any conspiracy re- lating to his case was a conspiracy of his enemies and of detectives em- ployed by them. to ruin him.

SWEEPING FLOODS
 IMUMOATE MEXICO
Great Damage Is Done, Covering a
 Large Area.

Mexico City, Oct 26.-At least two lives were lost and damage of 5000. .000 pesos to crops, grain and fine hard woods has resulted from yesterdays cloudburst in the state of Tabasco, according to information received to- night. Five hundred families are homeless in Atasta alone. Other cities and towns inundated are Huinaguillo, Tenosique. Jalapa, Tlacotalpm. Tlapa, Santa Rosa and a number of smaller villages along the Mescalapa river. The towns of Balacan, Carmen, Pali- zada and Santa Rita in the valley of the Usumacinta river are badly dam aged.
 A total of 321 inches of water has fallen in that state in three weeks. A large part of the lower section of San Juan Bautista is under water The barrie of Santa Cruz has been totally desolated and the water is three and four feet deep in many houses.

ERRONEOUS REPORT
 CONCERNING GATES
Refutation of a Story of Further
 Trouble at Roosevelt.

Another unfounded report of en- gineering trouble at Roosevelt Is being circulated in some quarters, though by whom it was originated nobody seems to know It is well enough, however, to deny 1t before it gives unnecessary worry to others. The re- port is that an effort was made few days ago to raise one of the gates in the sluicing tunnel and that in doing so the engineers pulled the head off it." so there would be another wait for repairs.
 Two very excellent reasons may be given why this is not so. The first IS that no attempt has yet been made to open any of the gates. The other is that the-gates have no heads on them to pull off. By way of reporting progress, however. it is learned that the steel plates in the tunnel have all been set and that after about ten days more has ben given the cement used in the repair work to harden, everything will be in readiness for raising the gates and letting the water through as was done before the re- pairs were undertaken last spring. The water will probably be discharged as rapidly as good judgment suggests until the reservoir elevation is below the lowest point on the dam and the artificial fall passes away forever. Construction work on the dam will then proceed more rapidly than ever for a time, until the structure is ready to invite the winter floods.

The Cost of Living

Everybody knows that it costs more to live TOW than it did fifteen years ago. There is no section of the United States in which the same rule does not apply.
 But these conditions are not found in the United States alone. The in creased cost of food is bothering householders in all lands. The price of wheat has risen in England, France and Germany to such an extent that bread is nearly 50 per cent higher than a year ago. The ordinary loaf in London costs 13 cents. as against nine cents a year ago. In France the loaf costs S5 centimes. whereas it was 70 centimes a year ago. Meat has advanced 20 per cent in all the countries of Europe over the prices of a year ago.
 It is therefore somewhat difficult to sustain the argument that the in creased cost of living in the United States is due to our laws. But some people will always contend that every disagreeable condition in life can be eliminated by some paragraphs in the statute books, and to such people the fact that Europe, with all its dis similar laws, is bothered by similar conditions. will go for nothing.
 There is one consolatory fact in relation to the cost of living in the United States: most of the money paid out remains in this country. and thus is kept in circulation here, at any rate.
 The plain truth seems to be that the farmer has the whole world grabbed"

SPECIAL PASSENGER
 RATES TO THE FAR
By Both Railroad Com panies of Liberal Excursion
 Prices.

Both the Santa Fe and the South ern Pacific railroads unite in announ- cing a special schedule of excursion rates to the territorial fair that ought to result in a much larger attendance than ever before. irrespective of the fact that the fair will be bigger and better than it ever was before. The rates announced are a single fare for the round trip from all points within a radius of 100 miles of Phoe- nix, and from all points beyond that distance, within the territory, the rates will be one and half cents for every mile travelled. The Southern Pacific also applies the latter rate to New Mexico points as far east as Lords burg, in view of the fact that people in the eastern part of Graham county, Arizona, have to travel through New Mexico to get to Phoenix. via Lords burg It is also understood that these rates give a day or two extra as time limit after the fair. instead Of forcing the fair visitors to take the first train out in order to use their tickets.
 A special rate has also been agreed
  fornia points, as it is anticipated that there will be many California visitors the year, in view of two facts One is that great interest attends the big automobile road race this year, and the other is that there are many more California horses entered in the fair races this year than ever before Heretofore the number of California visitors to the fair has not been large, but this year it is believed there will be many large parties and scores of individuals who will be at tracted to the fair for one reason or another The rate made, therefore. is regular fare one way with s2 added. That will make the round trip rate from Los Angeles s19.65. and from San Bernardino, Colton and similar points S1790.
 As an illustration of what the spe- ciaI rates from Arizona points will be. the following are offered. merely as examples. the rates from all points being in like proportion:
 Southern Pacific-Yuma, Ariz-, ss75; Casa Grande. $40: Tucson, s435; Benson, s5.S0: NOgales. sS.50; LOrdSDurg. N M-, SSoV.
 Santa Fe--Ash Fork. s5.S5: Jerome Junction. s4.e5;. Prescott. s4.0o; Par ker, s495; Bouse. s4.20; wickenburg, s275.
 The automobile race from Los An geles last year was a novel and very successful event. but it was only of interest then to a few in strict auto mobile circles; that is, at the Los Angeles end of the line. The success of last years event has given a pub licity to it all over the country that is exciting interest among motor men almost everywhere. and especially in Los Angeles
 As for the harness races. it may be said also that the fair is only now beginning to reap its best re- suits from the earlier advertising it received. and in addition it has att tracted the attention of horsemen all over the country, as the largest race meeting in point of entries and purses to be held west of Detroit
