WAS EMPHATIC ABOUT IT.

His nickname is "Boots," and he Is only five years old. but for original wit he has anything his age and size beaten to a frazzle. says the Louis- vile Times. Boots displayed some of his wit. recently while he was oIi a visit to his grandmother's home. and also showed that he has re- markable memory for one so young.
 A year ago Christmas Boots" visited his grandmother's home. and was asked to spend the night. Shortly be- fore his visit a large batch of plaster had fallen off the ceiling of one of the rooms. and Boots" declined the invitation to spend the night. saying that he feared that some plaster might fall on him while he slept.
 The past Christmas Boots" was again visiting his grandmother's res idence when another large quantity of plaster fell off the ceiling. The affair caused much excitement. as the house was crowded with guests. and Boots was one of the first to reach the scene of the disaster"
 He walked in the room. surveyed the wreck for few minutes. and while everything was quiet he blurt- ed out. 'I know damned well l am not going to. sleep here tonight"

\ PRIZE OF 5000
 FOR VALLEY COTTON OFFER BY MEMBERS OF NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE. The Offer Is Made For Bale Ready
 by July i.

Here is a stimulant for the cotton growing industry in this valley. It is administered by members of the New York Cotton Exchange and the man. ner in which they came to do it is ex- plained in the following letter to The Republican from John H. McCabe, the mining man who Is now in New York:
 As I have always had a great in- terest in Arizona and especially my own home city of Phoenix. I was talk ing about the welfare of our city and the Salt River valley in general I was quoting the many improvements and of our great orange belt surrounding the city of Phoenix, and in the con- versation mentioned something of our cotton industry In so doing I was authorized by some gentlemen here of the cotton exchange of New York City, to offer to the Phoenix, Buckeye or the near vicinity-in fact any district -$1.000 in gold coin to be paid to the man or men to produce a bale of cot ton so grown and baled in our dis trict. on the first day of July. 1910. the money to be paid at any of our banks designated by the persons rais- ing the cotton on July 1, 1910
 '1 told them we were capable of doing most. anything asked of us Phoenix people. as our soil Is abundant and rich and our glorious sun is never hidden. These gentlemen have held the prize bale of cotton in Alabama and Texas for years and they are will- ing that we earn the prize of s1. 900 for the bale. so giving the Phoenix people credit of having the first bale of cotton on record in the world this year. I hope that some of my many friends will take advantage of the proposal and thus bring laurels to good old Ari- zona. for I know it is in the soil"
 Any cotton grower or prospective cotton grower of this valley who may wish to communicate with MT. McCabe relative to this offer may address him at No. West 65th St, New York.

THE COMING CENSUS
 WILL BE THROUGH
The Government Has Placed the Nee essary Machinery at the Disposal
 of Supervisor TowIe.

Frank F. Towle of Globe, supervisor of the census for Arizona. arrived in town yesterday morning from the north. on his way home from a con- ference at Denver of the census sup ervisors of the mountain and Pacific coast states. MT. Towle will return to Globe by way of Roosevelt
 Mir Towle has secured from the de- partment concessions that will greatly facilitate accurate work in counting the people of Arizona. He will have a lieutenant or deputy supervisor in ev- cry county and an arrangement has been made by which Mir. Towle will be able to visit all the county seats, or at any rate the larger of them. while the census is being taken and SO over see directly what is being done
 Neither effort nor expense will be spared to give to every town and coun- ty in the territory all that belongs to it.
 Speaking of the census. it is stated by those who have been at Tucson that that town Is getting ready to abandon its claims of being the metropolis of the territory in favor of Phoenix, which it is expected will show an ex- cess of from 5000 to 1000. an estimate based in part on the school census and the results of municipal elections in both of which features Phoenix has al- ways exceeded every other town in the territory, notwithstanding the census

A PRISONER OF WAR.
How Judge lurton Was ParoIed By
 President Lincoln.

Judge LurtOn's career has had many dramatic episodes. and one of them, not hitherton made public. may be well worth reporting in this place. Some months ago company of rep resentatives. men living in the mid- west. were the guests of Judge Henry s. Severns. an associate circuit judge of the Sixth judicial district. with Judge Lurton. The gathering took place at Grand Rapids. Mich. and fin the course of the evening Judge Sev- erns said to his friends that he had a little anecdote to tell them which might prove of interest to them He said:
 "A youth of F years of age. whose home was in Tennessee. enlisted in the Confederate army. and took part in several of the important battles that were waged in eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. In one of these battles he was captured. and sent to the federal prison at Sandusky. Ohio. His mother was distracted. In ways known .only to herself she was able to penetrate to the Union lines. and at last found herself in Washington. determined to have a personal inter view with President Lincoln.
 What could she do there. a friend less and obscure woman. whose fam fly had espoused the Confederate cause? But she found the way to meet President Lincoln, and to have an interview with him. All that she asked of him was that he restore her boy to her. permit her to go to the ;slx e f. release. And Lincoln gave her that order She went to Sandusky. present ed the order to commandant, and speedily her boy was with her. free and on tacit parole.
 And there he sits now" said Judge Severns, pointing toward Judge Lur- ton Not one of those present knew of this incident excepting Judge Lur- ton and Judge Severns. But the an- ecdote as then told by Judge Severns was recalled after 1t became known that President Taft was considering the appointment of Judge Lurton as a member of the supreme court bench. And now that this appointment has been made, it will be possible for Judge Lurton to say to his associates upon that bench:
 "I was a prisoner of war in the federal prison; I was released by the personal order of President Lincoln. and upon the plea of my mother. and by reason of that release I was able to take up the study of law. and procure admission to the bars, else l should not now be here"
 Lawyers who have known of Judge Lurton's career upon the bench. and who have made a careful study of some of his opinions. are of the mind that the quality of his intellect is broad. comprehensive. rather than acute and penetrating. as was the leading characteristic of the late Jus tice Peckham. Judge Lurton Is re- garded as having no profound or ex- haustive knowledge of cases. or even of precedents But he is thought to possess something of the distinguish ing capacity of Chief Justice Mar shall, an ability to fuse into compact and exhaustive opinion the principles of common law, fused with the com

WHEN PROFANITY WAS COMMOf
Two Good Stories Concerning Weak
 ness of a Past Generation.

Dean Ramsay could not co"ntenahce profanity, but he managed to tell some good stories of a weakness which af' flicted many in his time,
 "A late duke of Athol mad invited well-known character, writer o1 Perth, to come up and meet him at Ounkeld for the transaction of some business. The duke mentioned the jay and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctually at the appointed time and place. But the duke had forgotten the appointment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours. A Highlander pres ent described the Perth writer's in dignation and his mode of showing II by most elaborate course of swear Ing. But whom did he swear at? was the inquiry made of the narrator, who replied: oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at iairge. l have from friend also an anecdote which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even 10 female ears when mixed up with the inter- course of social life. A sister had been speaking of her brother as much addicted to this habit-'Oor John sweers awful, and we try to correct him; but she added in candid and apologetic tone, ma doubt 1t is a great set aff to conversation

TENER SUES FOR LIBEL
Brings Criminal Action Against
PHILADELPHIA Editor

Philadelphia, oct. 2l-John K. Tener. Re
publican candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania, to-day swore out warrant for
the arrest of z. A. Van VaIkenburg. editor
and president of The North American
company, Of this city, charging him with
criminal libel.
The warrant was issued by Magistrate
Gallagher, but il was not served. Counsel
for Mr. Tener sent a letter 10 Mr. Van
Valkenburg informing him Of the action
the candidate for Governor had taken. and
notifying him that q hearing in the case
would he held on Friday.
The warrant is based on an attack begun
by The North American" on October -
against Mr.. Tener's business integrity. The
charges have been reiterated daily Briefly
they asserted that Mr.. Tener was "a friend
and associate of swindlers." The paper
charged that Mr.. Tener, at the TING mem
Der of Congress. sold his name to the Ma
tional Public Utilities Corporation, so that
he could be exploited as the president of
the corporation. For this, the charges aver,
he agreed TO accept 5000 a year in salary
and was given $4,000 worth of stock in the
concern. The charges characterize The Ma
tionaI Public Utilities Corporation as a
fraudulent and swindlins corporation"
which is supposed 10 be interested in Pa
cifc Coast development and the owner Of
a projected railroad in Oregon known as
the Austria, Seaside & TiIlamoOk Railroad
Company. The charges further declare
that this is a paper railroad, having no
physical existence.
Last night Mr.. Tener issued long,
formal statement denying the charges
made by The North American" He ad-
mitted that he had been connected with the
about three months, and That he resigned
and severed bis relations with the com
pany becauseF Of pressure OF business in
connection with his duties as q Congress-
man. He also admitted receiving $4,000 in
stock. which he returned. He added that
he believed and still believes the company
TO be legitimate, and also believes the OBJ
jeCr Of the company can be carried out,
which IS the building OF railroad from
Astoria TO a point beyond Seaside, in
Oregon.
