At 730 they were both at the ap
pointed corners, each acting on the
others suggestion.
Smith stood on his corner minute
thinking deeply. Jones is probably
around on that other corner waiting
for me-" he unused. Then bright
idea struck him. 'Ha! I'll 60 around
20 his corner and get him.
The brilliant brains of Jones per.
ceived. too, that they had chosen op.
posite corners, and it was only neces.
sary to go around to Smiths corner to
see his partner. And, like Smith, he
started off for the other corner.
Now, it was strictly to their disad
vantage that great minds run in the
same channel. For Smith and Jones
made the mistake-although quite ma.
tural-of both going in the same di
rection with relation to each other
Smith started around the block by
going west, while Jones went around
the block easterly from his corner
When each got at the other corner, OF
course nobody was there. Then they
both concluded that each had decided
that the other, not finding anybody
there, would go back to the appointed
place. Smith retraced his steps and
went back to his corner, and Jones did
the same thing. Just then Smith rea'
soned that he had done bad thing,
and the thing now to do was to go all
around the block-take in all the four
corners and thus surely include Jones
So he reversed his course and wenl
around the block. Smith had walked
around the block four times without
seeing Jones, when he caught s
glimpse of him just turning the corner
down the street. Then Smith started
off on dead run. 1t was just as Jones
was turning that corner that he made
up his mind that his pace was too slow
to catch Smith and he let out. Around
the block at full speed went Jones
and around the block at great rate
went Smith. People saw a man run
| ming down the street as II he were
| chasing a trolley car and little while
another one came along flying in the
same direction.
At nine o'clock Smith came home,
slammed the door and sat down and
wrote:
Dear Friend Jones: When you want
to see me you will find me at my
house. You can come whenever you
like. Yours, Smith"
And when Smith got home the next
night he did not know whether the let.
ter he received from Jones was re.
ply to his letter or not. 1t read;
Dear Smith: I'm not COINS out
nights for the next six weeks. You
know where live. Yours, Jones'"

explains why some inventions are re-
tarded by trifiing circumstances.

Care of Ruos.

If one has ever seen beautiful rug
ruined by one cleaning, the expert
ence may open the eyes to the value
of knowing how to care for a rug. A
rug should never be hung on the
line as the weight pulls the pile and
when laid down the ridge will always
show. Do not beat rug on the back
unless 1t is a double-faced one The
threads are apt to be broken. Whip it
to clean 1t. having 1t fiat on the grass
and brush with the pile always in,
sweeping. One careless, ignorant
cleaning will ruin rug forever. These
valuable rugs that will wear two or
three generations are worth knowing
how to care for When buying a rug
1t is economy to pay double the price
for a good one that will always be a.
Joy. A cheap rug is an extravaganza
article to buy as it is usually not dur
able OF good in coloring.

The Concord of Smith and Jones
By Margaret Hathaway
ICopyrlght, by Daily story Pub. Cos

Dear Jones: I'll stay in tomorrow
night and wait for you. Yours. Smith,
But the letter Smith got next day
filled him with dismay. 1t read:
Dear Smith: In order to effect
meeting I'll wait for you tomorrow
night at my house. Yours, Jones'"
Both letters were dated the same
night and referred to the following
night. Consequently neither dared to
leave his house that night, as each
thought the other might do the same
thing. And so another day was lost.
They were both rather exasperated,
but the inventive genius of Smith got
to work. "I'll drop him postal" he
said, "and tell him to meet me to-mor
row night on the northwest corner of
this block. Then wen be sure to come
together"
Jones had arrived at this decision,
too. Smith was afraid to come out
last night, and so was l. he said.
why don't you write him letter
and make date?" asked Mrs. Jones.
That's just what l have concluded
to do said Jones. "I'll ask him to
meet me at the southeast corner Of
this block tomorrow night. Then III
be sure to cut across his run"
The next day Smith and Jones each

Smith read Jones' letter. "Why, he

When Jones read Smiths letter he
said pretty nearly the same thing.

they asked each other to he at the ap-

To Cook Pork Chops.

Most of us are not satisfied unless
pork is well done and Drowned. In,
cooking chops the old way they are
dry and hard when brown. Try cook
ing them, first in little boiling water
just enough to cover the bottom of
the frying pan. When the water has
evaporated the chops by turning once
will be cooked to the center and the
browning is very short process. The
result will be well cooked, juicy
brown chop. Don't forget to try it.

1t. I'll be back in half hour" said
Smith.
In two minutes Smith knocked at
Jones door and Mrs. Jones appeared.
Good evening"" said Smith, lis Mr.
Jones in?"
why, he has just gone around to
your house-left two minutes ago"
oh, is that so?" said Smith. I'll
go right back. / want to see him."
Meanwhile Mrs. Smith heard a
knock at her door and found Jones
there.

NO" replied Mrs. Smith, "he went
around to your house a few minutes
since. Won't you stay till he comes
back?"
No" said Jones, "Ill run back.
We can talk there just as well. Good
night
Jones had hardly left when the door
opened in the way that Smith usually
opened it. and Smith rushed in.
Where's Jones? Mrs. Jones said
he was here
He was" answered Mrs Smith,
but | told him you had gone around

Meanwhile Jones arrived at his own
front door and Mrs. Jones informed

1t is needless to say that when
Smith arrived at Jones' door and Jones
arrived at Smiths door both found
that the other had gone back to the
others house. This was actually re-
peated three times in each case, and
when Smith got home the last time he
hung up his hat and said: We'll, I'll
end this chase. I'll stay here now till
Jones comes"
Jones got tired of the runs" too, it
seems, and Mrs. Jones suggested that
he stay in until Smith come again.
That's good idea," he said. Now

So they both stayed home and wait

showed up.

Some inventions OF great possible
benefit to mankind are often delayed
by trivial details.
You no doubt have heard of Smith
and Jones. They have been used prin-
cipally for illustrative purposes. But
the Smith and Jones referred to here
are not fictitious. You see, Elmer
Smith was a conductor on a trolley
car and Homer Jones was a motor
man on another car. Smith was In
ventively inclined, and he believes
now that the saying that great minds
run in the same channel" is too vague.
He thinks they run on the same troll
ley wire. When he got acquainted
with Jones he found the latter was
also trying some mechanical improve
ments, and thereafter they got to-
gether at every opportunity to get the
benefit of joint ingenuity.
Smith lived in the middle of a
block, and when he saw that rooms
were to let on the opposite side of
the same block he quickly told Jones,
who moved there the next day. Work
ingmen, as a rule, have no trouble in
moving quickly. So Smith was happy
because he could talk over his back
fence with Jones. The diagram of
the block below shows the relative 10
cation of Smith and Jones on the same
blocks:

TAFT, TEA AND PAINTED CHINA.

Congressman sheppard, of Texas. in the house a few days ago, in dis cussins the Payne b.n, called at- tention to the fact that rare paintings of all kinds, uncut jewels and prec- ious stones and other "unnecessar- les" had been placed on the free list and contrasted this with a num- Der of necessities upon which a duty is imposed. declaring that the work ing man did not own diamonds or buy painted China.
 Who can say, after being stripped of it's bombast. this statement Is ex- travagant? The fact is Congressman Sheppard was not unduly bombastic. in his statement. We rather incline to the opinion that in this instance the "boubsst" deserves the better name of ballast And we may add that the Texan has by no means gone astray in his assertion that diamonds and oil paintings are not on the purchasing list of the average wage earner in America We are not dis posed to quarrel with any congress- man who. even by unique compari. sons. brings to the attention of the thinking people such glaring im- perfections in the tariff law.

The death of Judge William Neville in this city yesterday removed from our midst a man who had been prom 'nent in public life for years before coming to Douglas six years ago. Judge Neville was a man possessed of determination and energy ins ad- vocating and promoting to the extent of his ability the reforms which he regarded as necessary to the welfare of his country. As public speaker he was logical and forceful and while at times caustic n public debate, stiil In private life he was gentle and con siderate of his opponents. He came to Arizona from the state of Nebras- la where he had Intimate association with William Jennings Bryan in poli- tics and hs admiration and conf dence in Mir. Bryan never grew less. and last year he was as earnest and determined In the support of the Ne braskan as he was in 1896 in the state of Nebraska.

GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA. oVERNoR OF ARIZONA.

In appointing Judge R. E. Sloan, of Prescott, to the office of governor of Arizona, President Taft has chosen . man possessing every requirement for the successful administration fl the governmental affairs of Arizona and one who will be received as chief executive of the territory by prac- fically its entire citizenship.
 Judge Sloan has resided in Arizona Since 1sS4. coming here from the state of Ohio in that year He has served sixteen years on the Supreme bench Of the territory and ranks as one of the ablest judges in the south west. He has always the confidence of the territory because of universal fairness and impartiality in disposing of business coming before him. Hav- ing presided at various times over the courts of nearly every county in the territory the new governor will go into office with splendid knowl- edge of industrial and political condi- tions in ali parts of his official do- main which will be of value in the discharge of his public duties.
 While Judge Sloan has always been loyal to his party his position as Judge has kept him aloof from po- htical wrangling or factions in the territory. He will go into office free from any entangling political al dances and we predict that his ad- ministration will be worthy of the approval of the people of Arizona.
 It is expected that Governor Sloan will have regard for every interest in this growing territory and that he will not attempt to build up a polit- ical junta for the domination of the affairs of his party.
 The Review extends congratula- tions to Governor Sloan and to the people of Arizona on his appointment by President Taft and promises sup port to his administration in all things which promise to promote po- Htical peace and industrial advance ment and prosperity in the territory of Arizona.
 Ali hail, Governor Sloan.
