President Roosevelt has fairly we'll
sustained reputation Of not mincing
his words when he speaks of persons
to whom he is opposed. The latest
story of this propensity of his con-
Germs reporter and an editor.

asked him what paper he represented.
When he learned the name of the pa
per he exploded.
Il am sorry" he said, you repre-
sent the paper you do. The editor OF

and an unmitigated liar. But | know
you cannot help it. All heaven and
earth could not prevent him being
what he is. want you to tell him I

ALWAYS Grains of Comfort.

In the eXhaustless catalogue OF
heavens mercies to mankind, the
power we have of finding some germs
of comfort in the hardest trials must
ever occupy the foremost place; not
only that it supports and upholds us
when We most require to be sus-
tanned, but because in this source OF
consolation there is something, we
have reason to believe, of the divine
spirit; something Of that goodness
which detects amidst our own evil do
hgs a redeeming quality; something
which. even in our fallen nature, we
possess in common with the angels;
which had its being in the old time
when they trod the earth, and fingers
On it yet, in pity.-Dickens.

HEALTH IMPROVED
 BY A WINTER HERE
A Fine Example of Arizona's Bene- ficiaI Climate.

No better example of what a winter in Arizona will do for one in poor health has ever been seen than the case Of Mrs. Ross Smith of St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. Smith came here last Sep tember. While her health was not in a bad state, the severe winters of St. Joseph did not agree with her. and her physician recommended a milder climate Saturday evening Mrs. Smith left for her home again, the gainer of twenty-five pounds by her six months sojourn here.
 MT. Smith spent a part of the win ter in Tempe and both of them re- turned to Missouri, convinced that there is no better country in the world than the Salt River valley. They made many friends in Tempe and, while business reasons made it neces- sary for them to return home, those most intimately acquainted with them predict that the day will come when they will call Arizona home. One thing is quite certain, and that is that in the Smiths the Salt River valley has two good boosters who will do all they can to help along the cause of the territory.
 On their way east they will stop Tucson Mrs Smith will then go on to Bisbee for a short visit and from there to St Joseph. MT Smith will return to Tempe the last of the week and will then take the Santa Fe home.
