An Old Story

When Alexander the Great felt
the approach of death, he composed
a letter to his mother, commanding
that it be sent her as his last will
and testament. After brief re-
view of his life, Alexander said:
Conduct thyself as BELTS the moth
er of great king, and do not spend
thy days in lamentations"
Then he requested that a place
that would hold a vast multitude be
prepared, and that his mother on a
certain day invite all princes and
dignitaries and oil conditions of
people of the kingdom to come and
celebrate the event of his death.
Instead of mourning there was to
be feasting. But" said Alexan-
der in closing, Il stipulate that no
one who has suffered pain or sor-
row or bereavement shall be per-
mitted to partake of those festivi-
ties" .....
In due time preparations were
made in accord with Alexander's
wish. His mother waited and wait
ed, but no one came to the festival
at the appointed time.
Then the queen turned to an at
tendant and asked; Where are our
guests?"

According to the election returns

cessful at the polls, or rather, the
people Of Arizona have declared
that they shall insist on writing
their own constitution and do not
propose to take orders from the
Eastern capitalists, who. through
their agents. the republican party,
sought to take away the rights of
the people to frame the fundament-
al laws, the very foundation on
which the new State is to be built.
The democratic party will now
organize the constitutional conven-
tion. To it has been delegated the
power to frame a constitution in the
interest of the people of Arizona,
such constitution, on the lines of
the United States constitution, as
will guarantee the new State re-
publican form of government and
protect the people who have to live
under it.
The democratic victory in Gra-
ham county is particularly crafty
ing to the people. In this county
very few scratched tickets were
voted, the people having come to
the conclusion that a straight party
ticket should be voted. AS result,
the democratic candidates were
elected by good majority, the peo-
pie thus emphazing their preference
for the democratic party to organize
the constitutional convention and
write the constitution for the new
State.
The candidates elected by the
democratic party in each county are
all good citizens and men who can
be relied on to present to the peo-
pie a constitution that will not only
safeguard the peoples interests,
but will be of such form that will
be acceptable to congress and Presi-
dent Taft.

Away back, when herds of buffalo
grazed along the foothills of the
Western mountains, two hardy pros
pectors fell in with bull bison that

the prospectors took to the branches
of tree and the other dived into q
cave. The buffalo beloved at the
entrance of the cavern and then
turned toward the tree. Out came
the man from the cave, and the
buffalo took after him again. The
man made another dive for the hole.
After this had been repeated sever

to his comrade, who was trembling
at the mouth of the cavern:

The ''Danse Domestica"

An immense audience gathered
on Monday afternoon at the Theater
of Interpretive Art to see Mile.
Hopupli and her associates in her
much-heralded "Danse Domestica. "
The orchestra played a prelude,
poetically typifying the dropping of
a tray full of breakfast dishes,
after which the curtain rose upon
the poorly furnished fiat of an
ultimate consumer.
The great terpsichorean artist
was discovered picking up the frag-
ments of dishes, and when this
task was completed she made leap
into the air emblematic of life with
nothing to live on.
Alighting, she whirled madly
across the stage and flung herself
in an ecstacy of wrath astride of
the baby's crib,
Laying the cause of her tenn
peramental outburst across her lap
she gave it a regular morning
spankishment, accompanied in the
orchestra by wonderful cacophoniG
dissonances.

movement among the pots and

beautiful could be imagined, es

and the emptying of the ashes.

a-week husband. ...... ..'
And thus the pitiful story went
on, sweeping the emotions, usually
and auricularly, through the get
ting Of the morning mail, the
wrathful tearing up of the butchers
bill, the scrubbing of the pantry
shelves, the putting on of the pot
or dinner and the argument with
the iceman through the dumbwaiter,
to eliminate in climax of soul
fully suggestive kicks and wriggles
as the harassed woman simultan-
eously slammed the door in the face
of the grasping rent agent, jer6ed
eight burning pies out of the oven
and hurled the cat from the inter-
ior of the milk pitcher.
Throughout the latter portion of
the performance the artist dis
closed vistas of beauty and set a
new standard in the art of genre
dancing.

THE MEXICAN CENTENNIAL
Checkered but Progressive His,
tory of Mexico

The beginning of free Mexico was
on the 10th Of September, 1910, the
centennial of which date will be
celebrated in the City of Mexico
with imposing ceremonies.
The centennial will be the oc.
casion, for several days, of a ma,
tional fete, to be held in the federal
district; a great Latin-American
festival. in which will be displayed
not only the gay life of the capital
but the serious side of Mexico's s
progress as modern state. And
this progress has been a marvel OF
even these stirring times. In 1876
the country was bankrupt, infested
with brigands, harassed by civil
war, a land of unsafe trails and
isolated villages, "sloth in the mart
and schism within the temple. "
Diaz, with his strong hand and in
flexible will, created a military
police, who made the country in
ternally safe, and by a definite
policy of railway building raised in
% years the mileage from 800 to
over 10000. Diaz has compelled
justice and good order and stimu-
lated Investment. He has made
over all the cities in the republic,
or at least his policy has given them
reason to make themselves over.
Antique towns, with their horse
men and mule trains and their lazy
plazas, are now up-to-date, bustling
places with fine shops and public
buildings, asphalted streets, electric
lights and trolley cars.
The foreign capital at work in
Mexico, which was $500, ,00O when
Diaz became president, is now ST.
400, 900, 900. Modern accessories
and conveniences are everywhere
electric lighting plants, modern
drainage systems, and waterworks.
Schools are universal. and the peo-
pie have been taught so well to
value tranquility that President
Diaz may say, as he did in an inter-
view: Il have waited patiently for
the day when the people of the
Mexican republic would be prepared
to change their government at every
election without danger of armed
revolutions and without injury to
the national credit or interference
with the national progress. | be-
lieve that day has come"

The Origin of 20. K"

The death at Toledo recently OF
Cornelius Kendall, formerly of Chi.
cago, recalls what is probably the
true story of the origin of the SYM
bols 20. K" as sign of approval
or correctness. These symbols are
now used throughout the English.
speaking world by all sorts of in
spectors, revisers, auditors. &C., and
as spoken phrase have passed into
common speech.
At the outbreak of the civil war,
in which Kendall served in the Chi
cago Board of Trade Battery, there
was a large bakery in Chicago, of
which his father, Orrin Kendall,
was the founder and head. The
firm name was 0. Kendall & Sons,
and the factory was at the south
west corner of Washington and
Dearborn streets.
The putting of armies into the
field made large, special and i'm
mediate demand upon the baking
plants, for what used to be called
ship bread" or hard bread"
This is bread made simply of -four
and water and baked hard. Short
ening is left out because it becomes
rancid. Yeast is left out because
it adds to bulk and "sours.' Some
times even salt is left out, because
attracting moisture. The object
was to get a bread ration that would
keep" and be portable. The re-
suit is what has become known as
hard tack" now seldom seen by
civilians. and little used on ships or
in armies, but formerly the staff
of life" for sailors on long voyages
and soldiers on active marching
service.
The firm of o. Kendall & Sons
naturally went into hard-tack MAX
ing. Its crackers had been stamped
20. K.," and the mark was still
used. Either it was more skillful
than other makers, or it succeeded
in making more regular deliveries
of fresh goods to the armies in the
field. At any rate. the opinion
spread among the soldiers that 20.
X" hard-tack was better than the
average. The spoken phrase 20.
X" became current army slang,
and the soldiers brought it back in
civil occupation as a yerba! and
graphic convenience. It'd Bits.

BEEF CATTLE SCARCE
Ranges Almost Depleted, Meat
Prices Advance

A beef steak of the prime cuts
will almost be luxury this coming
winter. Beef prices are going to
be raised both to the butchers and
to the consumers. They were up
last winter and will be higher dur
ing the coming months than they
were year ago.
E. A. Hovrea stated that there
will be no way to head off the ad-
vance in meat prices. Good beef
cattle are scarce and will become
scarcer as the season advances. Com
petition among the buyers will be
keen and the stockmen can and will
raise the price of cattle.
The beef cattle are now we'll sold
off the ranges, and because of the
hardness of the summer rains the
range grass has been held back for
more than a month, holding back
the few beef cattle in the same pro-
portion.
Buyers are already out securing
the cattle country for beef stock,
and Sonora will undoubtedly be
called upon to furnish the greater
part of the beef consumed through
out this part of the Territory, as
the southern Arizona ranges are
nearly depleted of range cattle.
Mr.. Hovrea could not state how
soon the prices on beef will be ad.
vanced, but he does not expect that
it will be far in the future, as the
stock situation is such that the
prices may be raised at any time.

To break right into the middle of this
question, then. are a mothers self-de-
malls sacrifices The answer lies in
the way she looks at it, 1t rests also
in the way the world views it and In
the way her children see it.
Now, the world Will tell you, per.
haps, that she owes It to her children
to give up everything within reason
tand without IT. to those who are her
responsibility; that it is without ques-
ton a sacrifice. and there the world
will stop. After this superficial sum
ming up OIL the part of the world, it
may be just as well that 1t should
step out and leave the floor to chill,
dren and their mothers.
II is undeniable that ONE have
gone through fire and water for chill
dren, and it is pitiably true that in
many instances their very own chill
dren have never known it. Women
have praeticed self-offacement with a
blind devotion that meant the final IN
doing Of those whom they would have
helped. This, then, Is saerifce-un-
meaning sacrifice.
And then there is a holy thing not
quite self-abncgation, because It has
escaped thar futile quality. II Is de
votion that is not blind, but in It's Sc
eurity has demanded something in re
turn fer what It gives. II saves those
who otherwise might have been its
victims.

sistenee upon some return calls out

Long days of home-making that
might have drifted into drudgery, and
might have become slavery are saved
to the stronger woman by the appreci-
alton she has called forth. The host
of big things she has re|linquished. and
all the little things she has passed on
to others. have come back a hundred
fold to bless her. So a mother sees
it; this Is what sacrifice means to a
devoted woman. She would assure
