the whole property is divided into as

this. each separate part Of the property
is thus divided
Thus. II a property consisted Of ten
acres Of pasture land, eighty Of vineyard
and ten Of grain land. and there were
ten heirs. each heir would receive one
acre each ot grain and pasture land and
eight acres OF vineyard. This process
has been going on for very long time.
SO that now IN the most fertile part Of

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

Behold, my daughter, more changeable than the fashions is a mans taste in women!
 Yea, as the merry widow passeth unto the toaue and the sheath skirt unto hoops, so, like unto a pendulum, his heart swingeth from blondes unto brunettes and from bru- nettes unto Titians.
 Lo! he that loveth Cleopatra today shall console himself with Columbine tomorrow. And he that sigheth for a Circe in June shall, peradventure, wed Merely Mary Ann in Octo- Der
 He that chaseth chorus girls and pink-tea butterflies all the years of his youth shall mar ry school teacher with low heels and high principles; but he that weddeth dark eyed damsel shall follow after peroxide blondes for the rest of his days.
 Yet one thing woman shall not endure!
 Nay, he that deceiveth her, he that breaketh her heart, he that spilleth wine down her front breadth he that ksseth her with his hat on, shall receive her mercy, and he that di- vorceth her shall be covered win gratitude. But he that showeth bad taste in the selection of her rival shall not be forgiven! He that re- placeth her with an unattractiye successor shall be cast out into oblivion! He that hath been turned down and consoleth himself with little "what-is-it" shall feel the sting of her scorn!
 Yet I say unto thee, oh daughter, be not cast down neither bow thy head nor hide thy face with shame when thou seest how easily thou canst be duplicated, crying, "What am I, that an insignificant two-by-four with snub nose and freckles should now fill my placep' For every woman is unto man but a pleasant change And what he admireth to-
 ay is no more like unto what he shall admire tomorrow that what he wanteth for breakfast is like unto what he wanteth for dinner Se- lah

inent fnanciers of the country predicted that in twenty yers electric locomotives would be in use on all of the leading railroads of the United States. Anything approaching such revolu- tionizing of railways woul dcause copper values to soar to heights which they never before reached. In any case, the recovery of the mar ket from the effects of having an existing sur plus is sure to advance the price of copper to fifteen cents or better And this event is all that Globe needs to assure her future.
 Therefore, while today is yet with us, let us work for that tomorrow which will bring to Globe all these things which we, as individual residents so earnestly desire The diaphanous visioning of the present is sure to assume form and material much more substantial than those which constitute dreams, provided only that we have the singleness of aim and the untiring eff fort necessary to wrest success from failure And we believe that the majority of this city's people have the temperament and ability that will ultimately make Globe the Greater Globe, and after that, the Greatest Globe, with an i'm pregnable position at the top of the southwest's industrial world.

One of the females rampant of New York vo- ciferates, "I would rather belong to national mothers union than to any other organization in the world" Somehow the blatant assertion rings false as though it might express a counter felt conviction. It is hard to reconcile the ideal of a true, gentle, womanly mother with the mil itant spirit that gives utterance to bombast. We suspect that this woman, in the course of an emotional debauch, has become more or less ep- icene in temperament. It is barely possible that motherhood, itself, might be the remedy most effective in her case.

THE coMMoNER's COMING

Tonight the democratic leaders of Globe will meet in the office of Judge Hinson Thomas to make arrangements for entertaining William Jennings Bryan on the occasion of his contem- plated visit to here in December. This action ot the democrats in thus laying plans for the com moner's reception is timely and shows that local democracy has no intention of being found want ing in hospitality when the greatest living figure in its party honors Globe with visit
 All this is as it should be- William J. Bryan is character unparalleled in the political an nals of the United States With persistency and courage of conviction that was never equal led in this country he has held the foremost place in democracy for more than twelve years Several times he has come near to being elected by the people to the highest office that they have in their power to confer. In his trips abroad, he has been feted and welcomed in manner close ly approaching the greeting accorded to the president of the United States when he visits

foreign lands Mr. Bryan's native country, yes, and the whole civilized world as well, has paid its homage to his remarkable attributes as a statesman, an orator and man of the people. And to this total of adulation and respect that other countries, states and cities have accorded the great commoner, the people of Globe, who have hitherto admired this great national figure from distance, will now have an opportunity to add their manifestations of respect. Vel come, MT. Bryan, to the city of Globe! And may such a spirit of sincerity pervade your welcome here that your stay will, at least convince you that the homage of the people of Globe is heart felt

A COSTLY ERROR

A little more foresight on the part of the of 6cas of Globe years ago would have resulted today in the saving of no inconsiderable amount of money and thouble for the present city gov ernment. We refer to the widening of North Broad street at the intersection of Bone street which the conditions attendant upon municipal growth and business activity have made neces- sary. No better illustration of how we'll it pays to keep abreast of the times, and even ahead of them in thought, at least, could be afforded than is furnished by the proposed removal of build ings, and other alterations necessary before North Broad street is made of the regulation width
 In all probability, the worthy officials of Globe, at the time when the present street boun- daries were fixed, or rather, allowed to be estab lished, little dreamed that the day would come congestion of traffic But that mistaken idea of when the progress of Globe would make inn perative wide business thoroughfare to avoid theirs was very pardonable, for at that time Globe was only small town and the tremendous mineral resources now discovered had not yet come to light
 As a working rule of life, however, it is safer and better to err on the side of optimism, if at all and very sautary measure is that which makes provision for all the possibilities for progress that constitute the legacy of any dee gently situated American city,
 And apropos of this subject and of the pres ent unfortunate and expensive illustration of how it is often necessary to adjust the streets and buildings of city to conditions resultant from growth, it is permissible to point out that Globe, even at this fairly we'll advanced stage of her career, should be safeguarded as far as pos sibe against repetition of error in allowing any part of her construction to be of such a makeshift nature that future conditions will ne- cessitate extensive rehabilitation.
 The present efficient work of the city engineer and his corps of assistants IS, of course, a big factor in the laying out of the city along proper Globe is reching such size that the services of a building inspector, also may be employed to ad- vantage and will serve to prevent the erection of any structures so fimsy that they will be detri- ment to the safety of the public and to the gener- al appearance of the city.
 The people who are really loyal to Globe and her interests want to see her architecture of such a substantial nature that it will be no cause for apology, either at present or a few years hence And only by the most rigorous attention to all construction plans before permits to build are issued can Globes administrator be sure of securing for the whole city an appearance of ord erliness and sodity that will be commensurate with the dignity and the prosperity of the great CT Globe
