The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon (Being the Confessions of the Seven Hundreth Wife
 BY MAUD MARIE
BY MAUD MARIE

Receive my words, my daughter, for unto men have given much deep thought, and It hath come to pass that nothing which one of them shall do can surprise me-
 Verify, verify, she that treadeth the ways of Irritation walketh upon quicksand. Yea, man is "touchy" as tea table in the middle of the room, and his sentiments are like unto the Sevres cups thereon, which may be easily shattered.
 Behold, who giveth man such real pain as a woman that summoneth him over the tele- phone and will not reveal her name, but saith, "Guess who this is." She is as fly that awakeneth him from pleasant dreams and es- capeth his clutch She is an abomination worse than a wet towel or cinder in the eye.
 Lo, she that forgeteth a mans birthday shall be forgiven, but she that sendeth him purple necktie thereon shall be mocked ln secret, and she that presenteth him with spot. ted socks shall be cursed. But she that send eth him silver cigarette case shall be hated unto everlasting, for the weight of such an one is the white mans burden.
 Yet whatsoever a man offereth a damsel, whether it be burnt orange hat or pet boa constructor, let her receive it with praise and thanksgiving and looks of joy! For the spirit of proud man may sustain slight to poli- tics, his love, or his religion, but an imputa- ton against his taste. who can bear ita
 Go to, my daughter. When man showeth skill in the tucking in of thy sleeves and wis dom in the buttoning of thy gloves, ask him not where he hath learned hese things, for he shall flee from thee affrighted, lest thou hast found him out.
 Verify, verify, the ways of a maiden are hard, for what delighteth one man shall shock another, and that which pleaseth him today shall fill him with weariness tomorrow Yet the making of one break doeth more to kill love than the breaking of the Ten Commando ments.

REALISM ON THE STAGE

This is not press agent yarn. Coming from Broadway, one looks upon it with suspicion, but despite the earmarks of the publicity promoter, the scheme would prove too expensive were it only an effort to advertise the production The required result could be attained more cheaply.
 In one of the scenes of recent New York play there is shown the interior of a newspaper plant. The linotype machines are casting the lines of type, the makeup men are assembling into page form the columns of metal, and when the form is locked up it is rolled under the steam-table and stereotyped. The proofreaders are there to catch he errors of the eonpositor, the galley or proof press boy, with his inky hands, and the copycutter with his shears. It is realism such as must be seen to be appreciated
 Ten men are required for the scene, and when the time came to put it on the regular supers, whose pay is 50 cens for each performance, were called upon to run the mechanical department of the daily paper Here came the climax, for the average super is not qualified to do much else than carry a spear, an empty stein, or a bat tle-scarred flag. So trouble arose, and the re- hearsal was brought to stop.
 The manager of the production thereupon sent to Big Six, as the typographical union of New York is known, and asked that ten men be sent over to do the work. The ten printers arrived and asked what the wages were to be- Upon be- ing told, they smiled and showed their union cards. They organized a chapel and explained that the scale in New York was $31 a week. There was no argument, no clash, just an accept ance of the inevitable by the manager, and he now has supers who work about fifteen minutes day and get paid 25 cents a minute
 So much for realism. It is a fine thing but the managers of Broadway productions are not anxious for publicity, lest they encounter the same difficulty in the future. Hence this is not a press agent yarn.

"FRUIT OF THE GoDs'r

We are immensely pleased to see the apple sol ably and stanchly defended of late by various worthy and approved contemporaries. A very decided falling off in the cultivation of this splendid fruit throughout the United States has been noted by the departmen of agriculture, and its signal of alarm but recently went forth to| arouse the multitudes to activity and apple con- servation We rejoice to report, as hereinbe- fore suggested, that subsequent proceedings have tended to brighten up the apple outlook tre- mendously.
 The truth is, the ordinary apple has been the victim of too much commercialiSm. It has been Luther Burbanked into thing of beauty on the fruit sands and a killjoy forever on the inside of the human anatomy That is, the great majority of apples have suffered this fate When one of those Ben Davis things, for in stance, is offered for assimilation, beware! take care! 'tis fooling thee!
 But there is another apple, and 1t is the bright and particular star we must popularize among apples in this country, or fail of patriotic pur- pose all too plainly indicated. Like 'the ham what am,'' this variety is the real thing. It IS possessed of estimonials from the highest sources; it responds abundantly to every de mand made upon it, or you get your money back.
 Witness the New York Press:
 ''The apple is the fruit of the gods. Leslie Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, eats three every morning for breakfast He has them sent east from his farm in Iowa"
 Obviously, this is the apple we are looking for. Nothing but the best, and that in ample supply, will suit This apple 'is the fruit of the gods. :" Mir. Leslie Shaw eats three daily, naturally and not at all unreasonably, and we might say, there fore, the proof of the apple is in the gods chew ing of the ame-especially at the heavenly ratio of three apples to one god daily.
 In all the circumstances, we incline to lift up our voices and sing. A certain Iowa farm in spires hope for the future of apples that is robust and rosy. The apple industry must be re- vamped, revised, and revitalized. Not all the gods at large in this country age properly nour- ished Many of them are in need of an apple diet of the exact persuasion suited to their gody necessities and desires. Now that we know just what sort of apple that is, and where to get it., why delay the proceedings?

ENTERPRISE AS AN INSPIRATION

How the man of enterprise stands out in the world!
 You can't overlook him-you don't want to !!
 He's worth noting always.
 He's lesson, an inspritor!
 He makes us sure of him--sure of what he will accomplish, of how much he will add to the zest of life in our environment
 Of the merchant who is an enterprising ad- vertiser we always feel civic pride-an in- clination to say to our acquaintance of neigh boring city:
 "Ah, but if you had few merchants like Blank!'
 In every issue of this paper you'll find the ads. of merchants whose enterprise is exhilar- ating-who make this town the one best place in which to live, and thrive, and find bargains |
 They make every issue of this paper worth money to every reader of it-including this present issue!
 That's enterprise-an it's fine, inspiritng ]! Don't undervalue it--don't "take 1t for grant ed''-for it earns your appreciation, your en- thusiasm.

"What is needed in Gila county as in Cochise and several other counties in Arizona is thor ough organization, and the appearance of the democratic leader in Globe will no doubt stir the democratic hosts to more determined ac- tion," says the Bisbee Review. As far as the needs of the party are concerned, the Review is correct when it insists on organization, but ganization should be effected long before the ar rival of the "peerless leader" Democracy should organize purely for democracy's sake. The presence of William Jennings Bryan will prove anything but an amagamater.
