Joy in Africa.
There's joy today in Africa,
The beasts are having fun,
For Teddy has pulled down his tents
And put away his gun.
The hippo and the elephant
Are filled with pure delight,
And lions once again resume
Their promenade at night.
And all the other beasts now have
And take. a little jungle air
Without the fear of death.
In fact, the jungle is en- fete,
And beasts that have been hid
Are coming out of caves and dens
And lifting off the lid.

nHean Big Valentine.

Miss Dora Hayden Of Indianapolis is
displaying with much pride a valentine
that perhaps is the largest ever made.
1t measured 6x3 feet and weighs be-
tween six and seven pounds. 1t was sent
from New York city, where it was made
to order. 1t required $40 postage.
The valentine is made of pasteboard and
celluloid. It's size made it difficult TO
handle, and a mail collecting auto was
pressed into service to deliver it.

Omissions of History.

John Hancock, first signer of the Dec
laration of Independence, was about to
affix his autograph to that immortal
document.
''Of course" he said, Sin regular and
proper alphabetical order my name ought
not to come first, but his majesty, King
George, probably will pronounce it John
'Ancock,' anyhow, and the effect will be
the same"
Thereupon he appended his signature,
and anybody who doubts the literal truth
of this story is referred to the Declara-
ton itself.

PHYSICAL Culture for Young Girls.
In some recent remarks about exercise

very best thing they could do. a CANDID
friend with perhaps too keen a sense OF
humor and of her prowess at basket ball,
rowing, etc, honored me with a patron
izing smile and said: Really, you don't

girli If she only knew the great phys
zeal and mental benefits to be obtained by
hard, brisk, energetic walking she would
have saved her sarcasm for a better sub
ject. Yet her query was not altogether
in vain. For if she, an athlete, was ig-
norant of the value of a good walk,
how much darker ignorance may one ex-
pect to find in the average girl. L ask
you all to take the word of the great ma
iority of experts that walking is the best

Correct carriage, with the body in
clined ever so little forward of the per-
pendicular, makes walking an easy ex-
ercise. Let your weight fall as much as
possible on the ball of the foot. Don't
lounge. Let each step be brisk, as if you
really meant it. Indeed, you must walk
with a vim if you would enjoy the best
exercise. Try TO have pleasant company
on your walks, and you'll find them twice
as enjoyable and beneficial. Don't you
care if your friends hang back. Coax
them out with you, and thus not only
add to the pleasure of your journey, but
do them a great kindness as well. /
can't remember half the scores of fell
lows I've persuaded to join me in a ten

failed to confess that the journey had

take only pleasant thoughts with you.
Don't walk i'll city streets if you can
possibly avoid it. Get out in the country,

Providence, R. I.-General c. R. Brayton, known as the "blind boss of Rhode Island," died here in the Jane Brown hospital. He was 70 years of age and totally blind. Brayton was taken to the hospital on August 29 with broken hip,the result of fall in his office. Dr. BudIopg declared, however, that death was due to diabetes from which Gen. Brayton had suffered for several years. With his death a remarkable political boss-ship of thirty years came to a close. For more than twenty years of that time he was credited with controlling the legislature of Rhode Island completely. He was a close political confidant of United States Senator Nelson w. Aldrich. While not a member of the legislature him. self, his power over the members was such that time and again his pres- ence in the lawmaking chamber of the little state was called scandal and a shame. He did the work in
  Rhode Island that Platt did in New York and Quay did in Pennsylvania. Gen. Brayton fought in the civil war and retired after being breveted a brigadier general. His big influence in republican politics in the state came when he was appointed post master of Providence. He used the office to increase his political power and to such fragrant extent that he was removed under a charge of mal- feasance. This did not hurt his political career. He gathered power with the years and even in his blind ness during the latter part of his life he held control of the legisla- ture. Gen. Brayton was a graduate of Brown university and his father and grandfather were justices of the court of the state.

Kansas City Stock Yards.

Kansas City Stock Yarks.-Over- supply of cattle at all the markets last week helped buyers in their efforts to revise prices downward. Local supply was not excessive, 79,0O0 head, including 11,OOO calves, but Chicago had 25,O0O, Northwestern rangers, in addition to good run Of natives, and Omaha also had too many rangers, and St. Louis had big run of quara antines. Steer prices melted away 10 to 9 cents, and COWS closed 10 to 15 lower, calves about steady. Light weight stock steers have been much wanted, in antici- patton of certain amount of soft corn in the country, in the event of frost, which will require quick con- sumption. The run is 27000 head here, market steady to 10 lower. Buyers appreciate their advantage. and take their time making their pur- chases. Stockers and feeders are steady as country demand is good. There is more feed in the country now than any fall for three or four years, and several hot days lately, with prospects for more of them, are ripening much of the late corn. Range cattle are coming freely now. Carey Brothers steers from Hayden, Colorado, sold to killers at 4.5O, stockers up to s4.9O, feeders s5.4O, some Wyoming COWS at $40, and Idaho stockers at S4O.30 and $4 40. Panhandle and New Mexico COWS are selling at B 65 to s4.OO, calves S4.OO to S7 50, a few at $500, stock COWS and heifers S3.1O to S3.5O, stock steers S3 50 to S4.25.
 An extraordinary demand from the country for stock and feeding sheep and lambs is doing wonders for the market. Country buyers are taking such large percentage of the re- ceipts, nearly one half, that it leaves less than a normal number for the killers. Prices advanced little last week, and are firm Utah killing lambs at S6. 75 to S7.OO, feeding lambs S6.25 to S6 50, yearlings up to S5.65, feeding yearlings at S5.25, to s5.4O, wethers up to S4.6O, ewes S4.35, feeding wethers up to S4.5O, and a big band of feeding ewes at S3.55. Total runs at all the markets are largest on re- cord for September, although the run here has not been excessive any day yet, 16,000 here. A large number are for the market later this week from Utah and Idaho, and pros poets look good for them.

APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL.
Indications are That $lOO.OOO Will Not
 Cover Expense of Statehood.

Whether that sl0O,O0 appropri- ated by the last congress to pay the expense of ushering Arizona into the Union, will hold out until the en- trance is effected is just now puzzling Governor Sloan and Secrtary Young.
 In the enabling act, congress fixed S100,000 as the sum for defraying the expense of the election held on Sep tember 12, the constitutional conven- tion which may last sixty days, and the election to be held to ratify or reject the constitution.
 Secretary Young estimates that the election just held has cost about S4O,O of which s7OOO was in Cochise county alone and about S4OOO in Mari copa. The average of all the coun- ties is placed at slightly less than s35OO.
 Legislatures in the past, in which there are only thirty-six members, have cost about s24, ,OOO. This session will have ifty-two. members, and the cost may reach at least $30,OOO.
 Estimates of the election for the ratification of the constitution run even higher than the S4O,OO0 of the election just held. But on the same basis this would make S80,OO0 for the two elections, which with S3O,00 for the convention makes total of S110,- 900, or slO,OOO in excess of the amount appropriated by congress.
 Secretary Young recently took up with the department of interest the expense account of the constitution al convention, asking if there might be any limitations in the matter of clerks and other expenses of the ses- sion.
 Young received a reply to the eff feet that the department had no sug- gestions to offer, end that the amount of money they spend depends entire ly on the desires of the delegates to the convention.
 Secretary Young is beginning to receive from the boards of supervis- ors the expense bills for the last cleo tion. It will be several weeks before the accounts can be audited and vouchers issued for the payment of claims.

Custom Men. On $4 Day. Deposit $25OO
 In Banks Monthly,

New York. - That government weighers on the various steamship docks in this city, on a salary of s4 a day, were able to deposit from S1 ,500 to S2,500 a month in savings banks was the amazing revelation develop ed in the United States circuit court where three weighers are on trial. The '4id" was taken off the import graft system and the manner in which government officials solicited and ac- cepted bribes and the extent to which the entire import weighing division ot the federal government was honeycombed with graft, was shown eclipsing in sordid detail even the developments of the sugar graft cases. As the result there is to be a general grand jury investigation, and while it is admitted the statute of limitations will probably prevent, as it did in the sugar cases, prosecution of all of the criminals, the federal authorities believe they will be able to send some we'll known merchants to prison.

Candidates Must File Expense Account.

Candidates for delegates in the election of September 12, whether they won or lost, must file sworn statements of their campaign ex- penses with Secretary George U. Young before October 12 or violate one of the statutes. Assistant Secre- tary R. A. Kirk stated that he had received several inquiries as to whether the statements should be filed with the board of supervisors in the county which the candidates re- side. Kirk stated that it has been decided that these statements must be made to the secretary. Several of the delegates, it is feared, may overlook the matter entirely if their attention is not called. The state ment must include all money that was expended by the candidate in his efforts to be elected

University to Have Deaf Mute School.

Tucson With view to gaining the consent of the board of education to establish deaf and mute school in connection with the University of Arizona, Henry C. White, a Phoenix teacher, has written to Tucson to secure the name and address and other information concerning deaf and dumb children in Pima county.
 He is making the same sort of can vass in Maricopa county and states that he hopes to secure a class of ten pupils prior to the meeting of the territorial board of education on 30. With this showing he hopes to gain the consent of the board to make the class territorial institution, in n-as-mucn as children thus afflicted cannot be cared for in the public schools.

Stir Love Into Your Biscuits if You Want Them to Taste Right, is Advice
 Pure Food Lecturer Gives.

New York. .-"Stir in little love, no matter whether you are making biscuits, batter cakes or welsh rarebi1. Let love be the inevitable ingredient. Sift it with your flour, melt it with your cheese" Brides and cooks are supposed to heed these remarks. That is, you must do these things if you wish to be successful cooks, said Mrs. Mary E. T. Chapin in expound- ing the metaphysics of the culinary art at the pure food show. Mrs. Chapin says the only way to be a good cook is to love the persons for whom you cook.
 "Food does not taste right without this ingredient of loving those whose breakfast you are cooking" she says. ''No ieally nourishing meal was ever prepared without it. The wife who does not care for her husband can not possibly prepare as good a meal for him as the woman who makes every little detail of cooking an act of devotion. This explains the superi- ority of home cooking over that found in restaurants, luncheries and hotels. A chef can't possibly love the quick lunch public as a woman loves her husband. Seriously, you can't cook unless you love. It is because cooks have to love the work they do that men are better cooks than women. All the great cooks have been men. i That's because men care so much more about eating than women do. They may not eat more, but food has more zest for them"
