kept pace with the fashions of the oc-
cident, but her inherent instinct for
the skillful use of flowers prompted
her to affect certain style of head
dress. Always on occasions Of state,
in lieu of jewel or coronet nesting
among the smooth masses of her silky
black hair, rested a single crimson
rose.
The whirligig of time brought the
little Japanese lady back to Washing
ton in more conspicuous role. With
the prestige obtained by the victorious
armies of the emperor of Japan, diplo-
matte affairs took on new importance
and with the rank of baron" and the
diplomatic status of ambassador, the
eTstwhile minister returned to Amer
lea.
Presiding over one of the most beau
tifuIly appointed homes in the city and
seventh in line of precedence, the
Baroness Takahira has an ambitious
place in the life of the community. A
tiny little parsonage, distinctly orien-
tai in type and unusually pretty, Bar
oness Takahira has very effectually
made good" as an embassy chate-
laine. Her gowns are marvels of ele-
gance and modishness; also her hats
and her jewels. The crimson rose is
replaced by glittering tiara of dia-
monds, fashioned to indicate the rank
of the wearer, and diamond necklace
and bodice jewels of great value and
beauty enhance the loneliness of robes
which show the utmost skill Of the
Partisan craftswoman.
The only daughter of the house,
dainty little Miss Kiyo, goes about in
the gorgeously colored and embroid-
cred robes of young girl of Japan.
Her smooth hair is dressed la Jap
anese and the beautifully colored orna'
ments which signify her unmarried
estate are duly worn among her shin
ing braids. Next season, rumor has it,
Miss Kiyo is coming out" and every.
body is wondering If she will don Eu.
ropean clothes, such as her sister de,
butantes will wear, or if, true to her
bringing up, she will mingle among
the smartly goWned American girls q
picturesque figure in her kimono. san
dals and quaint jeweled bracelets
brooches and hair ornaments. Miss
Kiyo, too, is pretty. She has dark eyes
which nothing escapes, serene coun
tenance and demure bearing.

BOTH FOND OF LITTLE ONES.
LIKING for Children Is Trait That
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey Have
in Common.

One of the most pleasant traits OF
character which distinguish both Ad-
miral Dewey and his wife is their love
of children. A pretty book could be
written on the admiraps boy friends.
A remarkable thing is, however en-.
thusiastic the small boys are over the
hero of Manila, as soon as they get to
know Mrs. Dewey well they transfer
their allegiance. The admiral good.
naturally does not resent this rivalry
One of his closest chums in recent
years was his next-door neighhor,
Charlie Taft, younger son Of the presi
dent. Charlie was SO impressed with
living so near Admiral Dewey that he
conflded to him his wish to enter the
navy. He had little regard for the
land defense, though his father was its
executive head. He would drop in
casually almost every day, and when
the admiral went for drive he would
invariably be out in front to give him
an adoring glance. On some red-letter
days, he went behind the flying Vir-
ginia horses and drank in the joys of
living. But he soon began to seek
Mrs. Dewey and to confide in her also.
When the Taft household was dis
banded last June and the household
goods scattered it was to Mrs. Dewey
he <cont1ded all his treasured collec.
tons Of pictures and flags and tags
and medals. His soul revoIted at the
thought of their going to mere
storage house. When Charlie came
back from school on the memorable
occasion when his father was inaugu
rated president one of his first visits
was to Mrs Dewey.

PREDATORY Instincts.

The inherited predatory tendency OF
men to seize upon the fruits Of other
peoples labor is still very strong, and
while we have nothing more to fear
from kings, we may yet have trouble
enough from commercial monopolies
and favored industries, marching to
the polls their hordes OF bribed retain
ers. Well, indeed, has it been said
eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty. God never meant that in this fair
but treacherous world in which he has
placed us we should earn salvation
without steadfast labor-John Fiske

There is some popular Confusion OF

ever, there is no relation between
them. But for long time the nature
of alubergris was hidden In mystery.

lieved that it flowed up froc. the bot

They are making roads of saWdust
mixed with earth on a new plan in
Leon county. Two ridges of earth are
thrown up with road machine at the

the space between is filed with a six,

with smaller machine which blows

Assessment for 1909.

The supervisors met as board of equalization last week and after a short session completed their work with the result that the total assessed valuation of Graham county is SS,- 675,OOO, against sS, 100000 last year. On account of the good work done by the assessor it was necessary to make but few changes, amounting in the aggregate to S450,0O0 This increase in total assessed valuation is made, notwithstanding the fact that the bullion production is more than S500,- 900 less this year than last. h order to equalize the assessment the board raised the assessment S5 on all farm ing lands assessed at less than $50 acre, amounting to about $l25, 1000. Other raises were: Arizona Copper company Sl96,OOO; Detroit Copper company S115,OOO.

Old 4. (. Shelter Stack.

Jack Holman, who recently re- turned from Portal, has taken the contract to take the brick lining out of the old A. c. shelter stack, one of the landmarks of the plant at this place. The stack is 130 feet in heighth and was erected just twenty five years ago. It is six feet in diameter, but was lined with brick in early days in order to preserve and strengthen it. That it was pre- served there is little doubt as the A. c. civil engineer department ex- amined it and reported that it was in perfect shape and would stand with out being guyed. However, as pre- caution the stack will be fastened with a couple of extra guy ropes for safety and the work of taking out the lining is progressing nicely. This stack has been used for the smoke from the cOnverters since the big stack was erected on the noun tain top, and taking the lining out of it will do away with all the hot sul- phur fumes that now escape in the converter room.

Production Will Come Up to Average.

Tie Shannon and A. c. copper companies are running at full blast this month and for the first half of July have made a sufficient daily average to put them in line for their usual monthly output unless unfore- seen delays occur. These companies have made steady average of 4,5OO, 900 pounds of copper per month since the first month in this year, .which places them in a position to be relied upon for their proportion of the ter ritorial production and also help to keep Arizona in the lead of the cop per producing states. The D. C.. company at Morenci is also output ting its general average, while the smaller shippers of the district show a slight increase, consequently the Clifton-Morenci district will show a slight increase in total output. With the commencement of oper- ations by the Duluth-Arizona Gold mining company on the Lafave prop erty, the Michigan capitalists on the Heating property, the Shannon on the Greenlee grop of claims, and the Copper Mines company on number of claims in various portions of Cop per Mountain district, the future out put of this district should be greatly increased during the next year.

The board of supervisors is to be congratulated upon having secured the services of Hon. John R. Hamp- ton to succeed A. R. Lynch as assist ant district attorney. As a lawyer Mir. Hampton is better qualified to fill the position and being located in this end of the county he will be in a position to do something for his money and be of much more service in the prosecution of criminal cases. District Attorney McAlister has been excused for sixty days and Mir. Hampton is also absent from the county, consequently MT. Lynch will look after county affairs until the other attorneys return.
