No. l. The poor, who envies
not the rich, who pities his com
panions of poverty, and can spare
something for him that is still
poorer-is, in the realms Of
humanity, a king of kings.
No 2. Keep your heart from
him who begins his acquaintance
with you by indirect Aattery of
your favorite paradox or foible.
No. 3. He knows not how to
speak who can not be silent; still
less how to act with vigor and de-
cision-who hastens to the end is
silent: loudness Is impotence.
No. H. Who, under pressing
temptations to lie, adheres to the
truth, nor to the profane betrays
aught of sacred trust, is near the
summit of wisdom and virtue.
No. 8. The most abhoued

smiles abroad and flashes fiery
when it returns to the lap of a

The surprise was gotten up by her two married sons, Charlie and Oron Davis, who were helped in ay- rainging the affair by Mrs. O. Jen- nings, who is considered an authority on such matters The invited guests met at the depot about S:30 p. m, and from there went to the house. They quietly gathered in front of the house. while Charlie Davis went to the rear, burst open the door and with an eX- pression which would do credit to a professional burst forth: Mother, get the lamp quick. I just saw big rattler on the front porch The mother, of course, suspected nothing and obeyed. and to make the thing look real Charlie escorted her with the broom, with which he was to kill the rattler There was only yard full of guests.
 The evening was spent in merry amusements, including cards. Music was furnished for the occasion by a three piece rchestra-Earnest Love. violinist; Tom Kellis, pianist, and Victor Redewill of Phoenix, pianist.

THE MAJESTIC.

The Majestic theater opened to two masses of humanity last night, with a bill that was worthy of being an opener. Both shows saw the aisles damned full, and even the box re served for the press filled so that sev- eral of the late guests were unable to get to their seats.
 The new slide curtain with a paint ing of the great Roosevelt dam rose, showing to the wondering gaze of the first audience scenery that is said to be painted by one of the best scienic artists of San Francisco. A stage well appointed and, though not as large as either the Coliseum or the Grand. suf- ficient for the regular run of vaude- vile acts brought to this city.
 Carroll Johnson, the much tallled-o of minstrel man, who has for years been considered the peer of America's min strely, lived up to his reputation, and in his dry way sent his listeners into spasm after spasm of laughter. He is the same Johnson that has been raved over in every metropolis of the coun- try, and is still able to present an act at the regulation caliber.
 Joe Egan, the Broadway boy" be- cause of his many friends here and his really clever work, proved to be the most popular act of the bill. Joe Egan not so many years ago was a telegraph operator in Phoenix, and to- day he is the same Joe with the same quality of ability in vaudeville that he had in telegraphy.
 After the Ball." a short skit by Johnstone and Cooke, was full of bright, new comedy that made good and savored of the headliner variety It should have taken better than it did
 The Majesticgraph presents a better quality of moving pictures than are usually shown in 10, 20 and 3O-cent house.
