The Doctors Real Opinion.

One OF two English sisters who lived
together was suddenly taken with a lung
attack she feared was serious. She there
fore sent for specialist and asked her
doctor TO meet him. Talking over his
coming with her sister she said: "Mona,
| wish could know Sir Henry BIS real
opinion. Neither he nor DR.. M. will tell
us if there is anything really wrong. but
| would much rather know"
Her sister replied: "Do not worry,
dearest; you shall know everything, for ]
will 90 down TO the dining room and stand
behind the big oak screen and listen TO
every word they say"
"And will you be sure and tell me,
Mona?"
"You may rely on that, dearest; will
tell you every word"
"Even If am not to get well2"
Gwen then, dearest" promised The
loyal Mona.
The hour for the consultation arrived,
and the sister went to the dining-room,
and standing behind the great oak screen
ensconced herself and prepared TO listen.
BY and by the two doctors were heard
descending the stairs, and moment later
they came into the room. Walking over
to the big fireplace the specialist, sank
into an easy chair and the local doctor
sank into another. Then followed a mo-
ment's silence, broken by the specialist,
who leaned little forward.
"My dear NJ" he said, slowly. as he
looked across at his colleague, "of all the
ugly women, that's the very ugliest I've
seeu in my life"
as she2 wait until you've seen her

CHOICE.

Not that we have. but what We use.
Not what we see. but what we choose;
These are the things that mar. or bless.
The sum OF human happiness.
The thing nearby. not that afar;
Not what we seem. but what we are:
These are the things that make or break.
That give the heart its Joy or ache.
Not what seems fair. but what is true;
Not what we dream. but good we DO;
These are the things that shine like gems,
Like stars in fortunes diadems.
Not as we take. but as we give.
Not as we pray. but as we live;
These are the things that make Tor peace
Both now and after time shall cease.

Colonel Bryan Speaks for
 Statehood.

Democratic leader and America's most gifted orator touched on subject of Statehood for Arizona as follows:
 On the subject of statehood for Arizona 1 have learned some things on my present trip and some things among you tonight that 1 didn't know before and that will make me better prepar- ed than before to urge your cause. The wealth you have here IS great. you lead the world in the production of copper, you are retaining vast areas from the desert and making them bloom and blossom like the rose.
 What q glorious work has been that of you pioneers in new country! You have drawn riches from the bare bosom of Mother Earth. You have built up a new country where tens of thousands may live and f1ouris h and prosper i'll the very lap of Nature Beauti- ful homes abound here, your splendid schools and universities are educating your sturdy youth. There could scarcely be . more ideal commonwealth than this of yours. For many years I have advocated statehood for Arizona and if every easterner could see what 1 have seen out here the opposition to statehood would vanish in a day
 But, gentlemen, it will be a shame if you are not granted statehood at the next session of Congress. Look what they have been doing instead. Mir. Taft once gave testimony that there would never be more than 3O,- GOO Americans living in the Phil 1ppine Islands. Yet this govern nent has spent between five and six hundred million dollars on those islands As I look upon you, deprived of you heritage and think of the extravagances of the Philippines it brings me to visit 1 once made to the Snake river. That river ran thru great canyon with sides that tower 500 feet in the air. And one day a man went there and found a sort of caved in place in one of those great walls and he got in there and built himself home and years later when I went there he had an orchard of q few acres, but 1t was valued at S4O,OOO. But the man did not stir at that He found that he could divert the waters of the Snake river out of the canon at a place farther up and irrigate

LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
c0mrade ehaffer in His ed Year.


Mr.. Editor: I notice in your Vari-
Gus Matters column Friday that it is
states the oldest veteran in the Con-
necticut department Of the G. A. r.
Is George n. Griffin of Cheshire, just
81. The next Oldest is George w. Ho-
mans in his 91st year"
the latter statement is incorrect, as
Francis S. Long post has one member,
Comrade Leonard Shaffer. in his 92d
year, being 81 February 6, 1909.
Comrade Shaffer first enlisted May
z, 1851, in Company z, Second Con-
necticut volunteers, for three months.
and was discharged August Z, 1861. He
re- enlisted October IA, 1861, in Com
pany D, Twelfth Connecticut volun-
teers, for three years, and was dis
charged December 81, 1853, by reason
Of re-enlistment as a veteran volun-
teer. His third enlistment was jan
uary 10, 1864, in Company d, Twelfth
battalion, Connecticut volunteers. for
three years, and was finally discharged
August -, 1865, after more than four
years of arduous service. He never
was sick or wounded and never missed
a roll call during his entire service.
He had three sons in the Twelfth
Connecticut, Emery, Daniel and Frank,
the latter the present commander of
this post. They were known as the
Shaffer squad" Comrade Shaffer is
living with his granddaughter, Mrs.
George Osborne, in Bridgeport, and
while totally blind is in good health
and bids fair ultimately of being the
Oldest comrade in the department"
Very truly yours,
HENRY r. ROYCE.
