Now that statehood for Arizona seems to be sidetracked for the short session, for reasons best known to the senate. let the Twen- ty-fifth Legislative Assembly put its best foot foremost in the matter of legislation, and pass no freak law that might imperil our chances in the Sixty first Congress, for it is evident that some of the eastern senators are on the lookout for an excuse. good or bad, to defeat statehood, or at least to postpone action on the bill so important to Arizona and New Mexico.

Last Tuesday was the centennial of the birth of Edgar Allen Poe, and was celebrated by his admirers in different parts of the country. Poe was a master genius, and left his mark upon the literature of the world. That he was of an uneven temperament there is no doubt. His private life has often been as- sailed. but however dissipated he may have been, he was clean and chaste in everything he wrote, and there was at least one thing in his life that was reai--as real as any thing in the world could be-his love for his sweet young wife.

NEW POWDER CASE
EASILY DESIGNED
May Be Made With Cover to
Match Shade Adopted
by Owner.

An attractive and novel powder case
has recently ben devised which hts
most beautifully sinto any Of the bags
that women nowadays are never seen
without
The case in question is made like a
heaTt-shaped needle book, except that
each side is OF silk, lined with chamois.
On one side, too. there is a pocket which
holds the tiny pun and mirror, while on
the other side the lining OF chamOis is
perforated so the powder may sift
through. With this arrangement the
perforated side may be used as a cloth
to wipe the face, while more dainty
powderings may be done with the aid
of the pun and mirror. The two hearts
are fastened together with a ribbon at
their broad ends, while at the apex
there is a patent clasp, like those on
tailored gloves, which holds the book
when il is not in use.
The silk cover may match the shade
adopted by the owner, or il may match
the fittings OF the bag. Should the heart
be made in fancy color, one that need
match nothing, pOmpadOuT ribbon may
be used with very good effect.
