The Grace Of Poverty.


Is 1t altogether a sad reflection that
nine-tenths of the world is poor and the
remaining tenth weighed down with SUI
perfiuities? st. Francis prayed for the
grace Of poverty for himself and the
brothers minor, and praised personined
doubtless st. Francis knew. In the
course of the worlds history there have
been a half dozen ethical genfuses. and
when they spoke OF a thing as good, 1t
was eternal truth they spoke.
Perhaps ST. Francis had In mind the
fact that life's worst miseries are never
concrete and external. Deprivation is un-
comfortable. but not tragic. Broken hearts
and despairing souls are not for those
who have had to renounce the world 8
goods, but for those whom the great
trusts Of life have betrayed; those who.
looking back upon the record Of the years
in which they have been silently and Sc
cretly heaping up Impressions, can fnd
no faith firm. Despair comes when the
ethical structure OF the universe seems as
fluid as the physical: when the Eternal
itself moves with the earthly pageant SO
that literally nothing abides.
But In a world where all is slight and
temporal and transitory there Is a GER
tain refinement. a certain stoical adjust
ment Of ones self to the tune OF the uni
verse in poverty. To be rich and not
overloaded with tawdry things Is almost
an impossibility: but poverty leaves wide
scope for austere choice Of the rare and
the beautiful.
There are tiny huts in out:of-the- way
places, giving upon wonderful, extended
views of distant hills and layer upon
layer OF azure cloudland. that furnish
more beauty than Lambeth Palace and
Versailles together. For the spiritual
quality OF human living somehow per-
yades and colors an entire locality. In
tangible perhaps and yet perceptible Is
the atmosphere of habitually directed
thinking and considerate living. The
choice of silence and loneliness and spirit
rest in the place Of the vulgar dissipation
of human noise bespeaks the spirits
strength.

Flies and Horses.


Files and horses are intimately asso-
ciated. The latter provide the ferment
material In which flies deposit eggs for
their Matching. When winged they repay
with ingratitude. pursue and torture the
animals that provided their nursery.
Owners OF horses try to protect them
from the flies with nets aud blankets.
They short-sightedly attack the effect
and leave the cause untouched.
Many accidents are due to these fly
prosecutions OF horses. They make the
more nervous ones frantic. They break
away to escape them. The flies deposit
their eggs on their hair and the horses
acquire the bolts"
If horse owners pay attention to the
cause they will have less reason to look
after the effect. A sprinkling OF manure
with kerosene destroys egg and maggot.

blankets or repairs OF runaway break

WORRY DOES KILL.
II Persisted In It Breaks Down the
Minute Cells Of the Brain.

From the Journal OF Physiological Therapeutics.
Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting than
that worry will kill. More remarkable
still, It has been able to determine from
recent discoveries just how worry does
kill.
1t Is believed by many scientists who
have followed carefully the growth OF the
science OF brain diseases that scores OF
the deaths set down to their causes are
due to worry and that alone. The theory
is a simple one. so simple that any one
can readily understand 1t.
Briefly put. II amounts to this: Worry
INJURIES beyond repair certain cells Of the
brain, and the brain being the nutritive
center of the body, the other organs be-
come gradually injured. and when some
diseases OF these organs or q combina-
ton OF them arises death finally en-
sues.
+ Thus worry kills. Insidiously. Hike
many other diseases, It creeps upon the
brain in the form Of a single constant
never lost idea, and as q dropping of water
over a period Of years will wear q groove
in the stone so does worry gradually,
imperceptibly and no less surely destroy
the brain cells that lead all the rest.
which are, SO to speak, the commanding
officers Of mental power, health and mo-
ton.
Worry. to make the theory still stronger,
Is an irritant at certain points which pro-
duces little harm II IL come at intervals
or irregularly. Occasional worriment
the brain can cope with. but the iteration
and the reiteration OF one idea Of a dis
quieting sort the cells Of the brain are
not proof against.
1t Is as IL the skull were laid bare and
the surface OF the brain struck lightly
with q hammer every few seconds with
mechanical precision, with never a sign
OF a stop or the failure OF a stroke. Just
In this way does the annoying idea, the
maddening thought that will not be done
away with. strike or fall upon certain
nerve cells, never ceasing. diminishing
the vitality Of the delicate organisms that
are so minute that they can be seen only
under the microscope.

From the Bookseller.
1t Is all very fine to tell booksellers that
they ought to convert their business
premises into free reading rooms, on the
chance that they may secure a certain
number OF casual customers by such
means; but any bookseller who had the
temerity to adopt the system recommend
ed would run the risk Of having his shop
permanently besieged by promiscuous

DR RICKETTS, THINKS
 GLOBE PROMISING

GLOBE. May 27.-Dr L. D. Rick etts. formerly superintendent of the old Dominion company and now gen eral manager Of the Greene-Cananea company, is 8 visitor in the city his first visit to Globe in over two years. Since taking over the management of the Greene-Cananea company Dr. Ricketts has won high honors. h.s re- markable achievements in recon structing the plants of the big com pany and generally rehabilating the entire concern has earned him some thing more than a national reputa- tion.
 Speaking of Cananea 10 d repre- sentative of the Daily Globe, Dr. Ricketts, stated that the entire bat tery of eight furnaces had been in operation but recently cut down to lsix. the company producing a month ly average of 100000 pounds of copper. Costs have been greatly re- cuced an the company is in better condition today than al any time n its history.
 When Dr. Ricketts assumed man agement of the company just after Col. Greene had lost control. copper was being produced at from l6 10 l7 cents a pound. according to re- ports since made public. and at pres ent the cost is in the vicinity of 10 cents.
 Dr. Ricketts was greatly impressed with the visible signs of Globes growth in the last few years. He has always taken a deep interest in the welfare of the city and he has lost none Of his interest because of his residence elsewhere. He came here by auto to attend the directors meet ing Of the Gila Valley Bank & Trust company of which he is heavy stOekholder.

Sonora News)

The Calumet and Sonora property
 two miles north of the city, is be-
 coming what has been predicted for
 1.-the richest lead-zinc mine in the
 world. This is the opinion of a min
 ing engineer. that was published in the Sonora News two months ago. That the prediction is coming true is certain and the property wIll un- doubtedly be the richest ever discoy- cred. As it is now the ore has been opened up from the 400 level to the surface.
 The shaft was sunk on the vein and at a depth Of 12O feet the ore leaves it. But no workings have had to go very far from the shaft to en- counter the ore.
 The recent strike made at the property on the 400, which was men, tioned in the Sonora News two weeks ago. has proved to be an i'm portant one. The ore was encoun- tered in the shaft, and after the |sump was cut. drifting was begun in the ore. This work has gone on for a distance of 20 feet and the ore has not yet played out. The ore is II 1-2 feet wide at the shaft, where it was discovered and widens out. The com pany is not milling this ore. but leay. ling it on the dump. as it has more ore on the 900 level than it can mili with present conditions at the mill
 The 300 level is looking fine. The vein has been crosscut and was found to be 72 1-2 feet in width. No. i raise Is in solid ore up to the 200 level No 2 raise has been cut through 1s 1-2 feet of solid lead and Is still in the ore. kalses Nos. 2 and are also in ore.
 The company is now mining ore on the 60 foot level A vein feet ia width carrying 2I0 ounces in silver has been encountered in a drift oa this level. There is plenty Of lead and zinc ore on this level and quite quantity Of ore has been taken from these workings.
 At the mil the new addition is al- most completed. As soon as the clas- sifier arrives the new part will begin work In the new addition are To- cated a new jug. a grinder, one vii fey table and two Diester tables. When this portion of the plant is in operation the output of the plant will be increased 70 per cent. which will bring the output up to about 105 tons daily.
 As there is quite a little copper in the ores. the company has decided to save it by separating it from the lead and zinc On this account a classi- fer has been purchased and when in operation the company will be able to save many tons of the red metal. are common in the lead ore and. as this form of ore runs high in copper. it will prove a good investment in installing machinery to seperate 1t from the other minerals.
