Business Card of Father Printed Over Sixty
 Years Ago
Dr. Day in Possession Of Similar Peculiar
 Relic
(From Sundays Daily.)


 E. G. Wager received, a few days ago, from his old home in Wiseon.
 sin, one of the most curious and interesting heirlooms of his family that seldom falls to the lot of the average resident of the present day to cherish, the business card of his father, that was printed in the dim distance of over sixty years ago. This priceless relic was sent to him by a friend, P. s. Loy, who, while looking over the effects of Eugene Wager of DePierre, accidentally found this unique piece of printed matter. It conveys the informa- tion, that Eugene Wager, the above, was in business, combining every thing in merchandise, including dry goods, hats, nails, hay, furs and any thing the "market affords.' From a printing standpoint it is of novel style, carrying a ludicrous impress sion when entrusted with the sim piicity of the present day in type manufacture. Its age is priceless to this resident of Prescott, and while he does not semember the long ago, be appreciates the little pasteboard treasure, and says=that in it's day it was not tainted with any of the traits. that are burdening the peo- plee of the present in a trust game or a commercial eineh, that is run ming rampant over the country from one end to the other.
 MI- Wager states that the old "stand,, of his father has given, .Eay to the touch of. the big 'uns, ,and the little card is the only reflection he has of s'the geod old days"
 In line with the old bu$nesss card, ! Dr. Warren E. Day, physicisi of this city, also flashed before Ar., Wager, yesterday, another piece of printed matter in harmony, with the same condition that he was asso- eiated witn, forty years ago, dis playing his professional card as the city health officer and practicing physician of Utica, N Y, dated January l, 1s70.' # --r
 The doctor's card, however, varies materially in the art of printing from that of the Wager heirloom, but is still somewhat "loud," when placed alongside the fashion of this day in professional etiquette and minia- ture sized type. These variations, however, do not materially affect the men or their business in either in stance, but show the drift of the day and in the case of the old times method of handling printer $ ink convey the good effect of that old adage, Ethat all may read who run.'

PRESCOTT MAYOR FAVORED FOR
 CHAIRMAN Ellinwood InclineS To Go1dwater For The
 Honor Other Delegates From The South Also In
 The Race
fFrem Sundays Daily.)

E. E. EIlinwood, one of the dele
 gates from Coehise county to the Constitutional convention, came to
 the city yesterday, chiefly for the
 purpose of locating his family in
 Phoenix for the winter, says the Arizona Republican. He secured the residence of s. B. Taggart, in Ever gree naddition, on North Second street. That matter being disposed of, MT. EIlinwoOd had some time left before his departure for the south, on the evening train, to speak of the work of the convention.
 When he was asked what he re- garded as the main feature of the Constitution, he replied that on the spur of the moment he could think of nothing more essential and to the point than the enaeting clause. How ever, he believed that on further re- heetiOn he might find other things that would be desirable to put in- to it. -
 In the course of the day, Mir. Ellinwood met several members of the Marieopa delegation and he hastened to disabuse their minds of an impression, conveyed to them by rumor, that he wanted to be chair man of the convention. He said he did not, but that he was inclined to favor Morris Goldwater of the Yavapai delegation
 Some of the MarieOpa delegation took kindly to that suggestion, but it is certain that MT. Goldwater will not get that honor by default. Hon. Lamar Cobb of Graham can see no reason why he should not have it, but it is generally believed that in a contest MT. Goldwater would win. It is thought that he would get the powerful Coehise delegation, all the from the north and at least a considerable vote from Naricopa.

OLD LANDMARK TO DISAPPEAR

 During his visit to San Diego, last week, F. Scopel closed the deal for the purchase of the old Gray Eagle Stables on Granite street, owned by Nettie Wollenberg Weingart. MT. HScopel yesterday stated that he will tear the old structure down and sup plant it with a brick building that he will use in conjunction with his other business in that section. This old stable, in the early days, was the center of all stage connections in and out of the city, and in the palmy days was regarded as the big gest institutions of its kind in the Southwest. Its demolition practie- ally ends all the old familiar land marks of the stage days, and revives many pleasant memories of when the Concord coach, drawn by a string of eight, came prancing down the street, with mail and passen- gers only five days out from Los Angeles.

Carvings Watch.

sAfter carrying a watch for thirty years l have. just learned something new in watch lore,- said the city sales man. "I don't know whether this is true or not, but an old watchmakex told me. bought a watch of him the other day. It was a cheap watch. He said:
 "'What pocket are you going to car fy your watch in-the right or left?'
 '1 told him the left.
 "Then,' said he. I will regulate 1t for the left
 T asked what difference 1t made, and he declared that a watch runs faster on the left side than on the right, so to keep 1t from gaining time he regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly worth considering, but in watches of cheap make like mine 1t is very noticeable. asked for e scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said he only knew 1t was true, and then. whether he was faking or not, he pre- tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket."-New York Sun.

WNAy ello Jvdpe PajA.

A physician, says a medical 1oUSo3 that vouches for the truth of the story. was once summoned in haste to attend the child of family that lived in two rooms in the heart of a large American city-not New York. The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair, and when the doubt ful prognosis was given she broke into wailing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from 'the force," and such evil ways should be senounced forever
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor finally SC cured the confession that the crime of the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis. tered as residing in her house, in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrib- able political favors.
 The child recovered, and the mag1s- hate paid the physician's bill.

A Snake Story,

The family were at dinner when there came a tap at door seldom opened. Winning no attention. it was repeated and again a third time. though more softly, and then the door was swung back and. behold, there was snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head. in conformity with the decree of tradi- ton and with Ezra's understanding of scriptural direction, crunched Brit ish boot It was a mother snake, who, having bravely overcome her fear of man. was seeking sustenance, not for herself perhaps, though she was starv- ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once, at any rate. did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood.-George B. M. Harvey in North American Re. view.

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the Jennings.

From the Jennings.
 The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn. fought in the year 1914. Apart from its bear ing on the Independence of Scotland the battle will always have an excep tional interest from the military poin, of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards army mainly consisted of cavalry while that of the Scots. on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear and these Bruce threw into 'schii- troms." or oblong squares, formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue. cess at Courtray to resist the charge o1 the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in ''schiltrom," or hedgehog, forma lion, and these two battles revolution. lzed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more a, Agincourt. As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so ii was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard it with their "thir red line" and now, owing to oul changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded altogether.-London Chron icle.

The MMaearoni.r

The "macaroni'' were exquisites or Cops who in England and France led the fashions from 1780 to 1785 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen. who invariably car- ried a long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently . bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged minc- ing and affected gait and manner. There was during the war for inde- pendence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni. forms were called "macaroni."
