provide us with comforts; the wealth is not in the money, but in the thoughts of the individual who can produce what he wants. There is wealth enough for all the individuals upon the earth. If, the millions are begging and getting that which they have not earned, that is stealing, but will not call it stealing. Wealth we say is a success. Who are suc- cessful men? Rockefeller, Senator Clark, Thos. A. Edison, John Jacob Astor, Lincoln and Wm. Shakespeare were wealthy. Was Lincoln wealthy? :? He had no money. Why, yes; money is not wealth. Shakespeare was wealthy, too" Delineations were made on the platform. Tonight 20 children will be told what to fol- low to succeed.
 BASEBALL ToDAY-The baseball game between the Phoenix High school and the Normal, advertised for Eastlake park today, will be played at the Indian school instead. It was quite certain last night that the Eastlake grounds would be too soft for good work today and the Indian school grounds were tried out yesterday after the rain and found to be all right, so the game will be played there at 2:30 this afternoon unless it rains a lot mo< than was expected last night This is one of the series of the inter- scholastic league of the valley in which the various teams are contest ing for The Republicans silver trophy cup.

looked prosperous. He was dressed in
swagger style, wore long coat, car
ried heavy cane and had sunburst
of diamonds reposing amidst the folds
of bood-red cravat-in fact, he
looked too vulgarly rich to be true.
Wilkie consulted the hotel register
and found that his erstwhile criminal
friend had registered as Frank Lacy.
The change of attire and the assumed
name were suspicious and the Ameri-
can lost no time in going to the tele
phone and calling up Frank Froest,
one of the brightest detectives in
Scotland Yard. Wilkie told Froest
that it might be worth his while to
come up to Lows and have a look at
the latests addition to the American
invasion of London.
Not long after the meeting in Lows
Exchange all London became excited
over what was called the "Cutlass
Mystery" 1t began when we'll
dressed, elderly gentleman of consid-
cradle wealth was found on the side
walk with his head badly cut and the
blood flowing from several saber
wounds. He said he had no recollec-
ton of how he came to be in such
plight. and resolutely declined to give
the police any information upon the
subject. Two days later another man
was found similarly wounded and in
the same condition He was not as
close-mouthe as the first individual,
and went so far as to say that his
misfortune was the result of card
party in which he had participated
the previous night. He was unable,
however, to give the locality of the
house. having been taken there by an
obliging cabby whom he had sought
with a request to be conveyed to some
place where he could satisfy his de-
sires to daily with the goddess OF
chance. In less than "a hours from
this time still another man was found
with two saber cuts about his head.
and then the "Cutlass' Mystery be-
came the reigning sensation of Lon
don.
The next chapter in the history of
this curious rogue occurred at the lit
tie watering place of Margate. mu-
steal instrument dealer of London was
taking his holiday at this resort and
was enjoying himself in manner
such as is possible only to a London
tradesman. AS he was strolling along
the strand he came face to face with
Lacy who was then a fugitive from
Justice He grasped him by the coat.

THE GIRL AND THE LOBSTER.

but we live in an unromantic age"

Home Industry in Colorado.

This state is gradually coming to
the front as manufacturing center
Raw materials are much cheaper and
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The home
market for machinery and articles OF
all kinds is good, partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their patronage.
1t is rather hard now for some OF
the factories to obtain skilled labor at
this time. but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet
ter in this state than they can in the
eastern states on account of the lower
prices of farm and garden products.
BY the increased home demand for
these products prices will of course
become higher This is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizing
home industries.

Chicago, London, Paris, Vienna and
Berlin. Beginning as prototype or
the Artful Dodger he has gone from
pocket-picking to bunco steering, and
then run the entire gamut 'of crime
stopping only-providentially perhaps
at murder.
Frank Macy, the doubtful hero of
this queer story, was born at Freeport,
Ill. There are many old residents in
that place who still recall him as a
precocious baby, smart boy, and a
clever youth. Freeport soon proved to
be too small to satisfy his bullying
genius, but even before he left his
birthplace he made little excursions
from the paths of virtue which, in the
boy, are so often prophetic OF the
mans career. When he reached man
estate he was tall and as straight as
an Indian He had coal-black hair and
a sallow complexion. which lighted up
brightly whenever he was in humor
to be affable with his fellow-man.
1t was in Chicago that Frank Macy
first distinguished himself in crime. A
little more than dozen years ago an
advertisement appeared in the Chica-
go papers stating that wealthy
widow, about to take a long trip
abroad, was willing to sell her favor
lite horse "Dobbin."
After the money had been paid,
and within "a hours, Dobbin began to

specimen of horseflesh began to SHOW
strange signs of decrepitude. He shrlv-

impossible to properly describe TINS
marvellous transformation in mere
words.
The scene now shifts from Chicago
to Lows Exchange in Trafalgar
Square, London. Wilkie at that time
was the London correspondent of an
American paper, and while standing
in the corridor of this hostelry he was
surprised to see his old-ume "Gyp

"Mr. Lacy" he exclaimed, Il am so

"Why?" asked Lacy.
why" retorted the other. because
now you will pay me for the mandolin
you bought from me about a month
ago"
Lacy laughed.
You will pay me, wont you?" cried
the dealer, Historically. You wouldn't
rob a poor man, would you?"
Fade away" said the versatile
rogue. I'm havin' me holiday now,
and l can't be disturbed by vulgar
tradesmen.'
Lacy Immediately realized the mis-
take he had made and, learning the
character of the telegram that had
been sent to Scotland Yard, made
quick preparations for shortening his
vacation at the coy seashore resort
He acted with characteristic disregard
of conventionalities He summoned a
fisherman and hired him to take him
out in a small boat, and hailed Cas-

Africa BY the aid of clever cock

tain to take him aboard and before
the Scotland Yard man reached Mar
gate Lacy was calmly sailing the sea
on his way to Cape Town
Superintendent Froest Immediately
telegraphed to the authorities at Cape
Town, describing Lacy, and instruct
ing them to apprehend the man on his
arrival at that port. Lacy managed to
get ashore and strolled about the AT
rican city, admiring the botanic gar
dens and the astronomical observatory
with the enthusiasm of a tourist
whose only desire is to protitably
while away an idle hour. He was in
place when the agent of Scotland
Yard clapped his hand on his shoulder
and placed him under arrest. Lacy
submitted with perfect good grace and
was formally lodged in Jail at Cape
Town. Arrangements were made to
have him returned to England the fol-
lowing day.
But, alas, his satisfaction was pre-
mature, for the daring Lacy jumped
off the train while it was in motion
and disappeared in the depths of a
South African forest. The officer had
the train stopped at the next station
and, with the assistance of several
other men, made search of the
woods. They finally located their man

While visiting my motherin-law
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
