 "A young minister intended to refer to the pearly gates of Heaven. But the word he used, unless carefully pro nounced, meant pork. He knew what he had said when at the close of the service an old woman soberly informed him that she would do her best to reach the place where pork was so plentiful. as she was very fond of it.
 Another preached eloquently about his Heavenly Father but a slight er- TOT in his pronunciation made him say his crazy father His hearers pitied him, of course, if his father was crazy, but saw no reason why they should worship the deranged parent of missionary.
 Home and, devil are similarly confusing. It is hard for the mission ary, but you cannot blame the orient als for laughing at the wrong time when such errors are made, or If a nervous young preacher in doing his best to remember the language sol emnly closes the services by pronounc ing the form of baptism instead of the benediction, as once occurred. .'-Wor- cester Telegram

 We are three girls who together have just read in tOdays Saturday Blade of the letter of Miss Ida ThOmp- son of New York for a cowboy hus- band and of the answer in person by MT. Kaufman.
 We are not out for fun or adven- ture, but truly mean we would like (through correspOndence) to become acquainted with three big, broad. brawny and good-looking' cowboys, not over 3S years old and not younger than 23. who would like a Louisiana girl
 "Of course we want good, sober and honest men.
 We are not heiresses as Miss Thompson was. but We are of the best families in our parish.
 We have read a great deal of western life and it has always ap- pealed to us. and we believe we would love it. and that we are fully quail fled to make good and happy homes.
 We are home loving girls and care nothing for the butterfly life
 Two of us are sisters. light brown hair. blue eyes. feet 3 inches tall, 23 and 26 years old. weigh loo and 115 pounds and stenOgraphers- The other is a chum. small brunette. and quite pretty. We have good. jolly dispositions
 If we are fortunate enough. to re- ceive an answer to our letter. We will be glad to tell more of ourselves.
 We would like to have our letter printed in some western paper sO maybe we, too. will have the same good luck as Miss Thompson.
 Please help us if you can, and We will be deeply grateful.

MISSIONARIES MISTAKES.
Errors Made by Those Not Versed in
 Native Language.

"The fact is that the foreign mission ary is among the hardest-worked man | in the world" says Mrs. J. V. Critch- | ley. "The first thing to do, )f course | is to learn the native language. Perhaps he has studied at home. l So much the better; but even so. per ] sonal contact is absolutely necessary before one can learn to be cOlloquial. A book language and a conversational language are far more different than many people suppose. Of course the later missionaries do not have the diff ficulty the earlier ones did because the way has been paved and grammars. lexicons and phrase books compiled which help wonderfully.
 Let me tell you of the troubles now encountered Suppose the native
 language contains no words for the
 understanding of some of the funda- mental conceptions of Christianity. The term God may merely suggest to the native the wooden god he worships in the temple. sin to him means merely a breach of customs
 Tt appears simple enough to trans late I am the bread of life but the Korean has no bread. I am the Good Shepherd and know my sheep is very suggestive to us, but means nothing to the peasant Japanese, who never saw sheep in his life.
 Again. there are many words which ie not accented correctly or used cor rectly convey an entirely different meaning.
 You can understand that the result would be similar to an occasion when a learned German clergyman preached a sermon in English and told his hear CTS to come to Jesus and be white washed in the blood of the lamb He meant washed white of course. "One young missionary in Arabia did not know that their word for 'bereave- fmen' differed only in one consonant from their word rooster. He called upon a widow and sympathetically said: I am very sorry that rooster has come to you; but you know these roosters will come; and it is q comfort to know that we are in the hands of God, and when he sends roosters upon us gives us grace to bear them

TIDE LORE.
Beliefs of Sailors as to the Effect of
 Rain and Fog.

II is a common belief among at high water it will continue for the whole of the ebb. They will say one to another: Il doubt thatll rain the ebb daOwn," or Were a-goen to have an ebb's rain" Others say that they will have d coarse flood" if it starts to rain at low water on the flood. Again, in calm summer morn ing, if it is high water at or 8 o'clock and the wind then springs up easterly-that is, sea breeze-there will be an easterly wind all day. But if' the tide is a mid day one there will be no wind till high water Many have noticed that sometimes it will blow fresh wind just on high wa ter. when there has been no wind before. and there is none after high water.
 Fishermen have told the writer that if they get ashore on sandbank in d bit of sea they can tell at once whether the tide is ebbing or flowing by the way the vessel bumps. On the flood tide. they say, the sand is alive, but on the ebb it is dead and has no give" in it. They will point out, too, that in a flat calm and flood tide the sand can be seen boiling up in the water. but never on the ebb. Certainly smacksmen be- lieve that frost checks the tides They say it "nips" them, play upon the word "neap." which they use as a verb and pronounce nip"
 Many say that fog checks the tides. and certainly the writer be- lieves it. for he once spent a week ''neaped" on sandbar owing to this. It had been foggy for three or four days and the little yacht had groped her way amid fog and sandbanks to near home. The fog lifted in the morning and close at hand in the

CHARGED WITH SPEEDING"
 WILL APPEAL HIS CASE
S. J. TriboIet Denies Guilt and Con
 ducts His Own Defense.

The usual fine of $15 was the sen tence pronounced yesterday by Judge Thomas yesterday in the case of s J. Tribolet for an alleged violation of the speed ordinance MT Tribolei announced that he would consult his attorney and appeal the case to a higher court
 TribOlet is the first man who has been brought before the police court charged with speeding who has de nied his guilt. He was emphatic in his denial And then he proceeded to conduct his own case before the court. He cross examined the single witness, Missouri Thompson, the mo- tor policeman, and summed up the case in his own behalf.
 Thompson testified that he fol lowed the Tribolet car a block and 9 half down Second street, from Fay Tor to Midway between Van Buren and Monroe. He says he was not ten feet behind and his speedometer was reeling off the miles al the rate cf twenty per. Near Monroe street the big blue car slowed up because there was a hay wagon in front. 'here was a man on a bicycle just h; hind the hay wagon and this man had to jump off his whee! to get out of the way of the Tribolet car. Such, in substance, is what Thomp- son deposed in regard to the case.
 Tkere were some tart passage: be- twcer Tribolet and the witness Fri bolet denied that he had been going twenty miles an hour
 How do you know? Did you have a speedometer?" he was asked
 My common sense tells me wasn't he replied
 Then he turned fiercely on the mo- tor policeman and asked: How long nave you been in this bnsiness?'
 What business?" said Missouri innocently.
 The business of catchin' fellers"
 "Oh, about two weeks"
 thought SO"
 And then he said to the court when sentence was pronounced. "I will ap- peal this case to a higher court have a tight to, haven. I?"
 You certainly have.' replied the recorder.

Wound through the gloom like fiery vines; Hoarse rose their voices in a battle strain. million lights burned on the city height Where watched the city for its vic-- tor troops.

Swim he saw twenty seven steamers
 getting under way in a hurry. Foul hours later the fog showed signs ot shutting down again. By this time it was getting on his nerves. so he decided to try the short cut home across the Maplins into Havengore creek He consulted the skipper of a barge anchored near as to the water available The skipper asked the yachts draft and said: The way the tides a-comen up you'H ave a foot and a 'arf to spare" But he was wrong. for one hour before high water the tide stopped rising.

 The tides were taking off" or di- minishing, and the little ship was 'neaped' and not due to float for eleven days Luckily after six days. when there ought to have been a bare foot of water around her at high water. northwest wind sprang up, brought a good tide and she floated. It was an anxious week. particularly at high water, for some times, although the little vessel did not float. she bumped until the own CTS teeth rattled, for the sand is very hard both on the flood and ebb. with all due deference to those who know better Vessels have been known to be ''neaped" for months.

CORONADO STRIKE SETS
 OWNERS A-DREAM|NG
IL Looks Like Pie and AutomobiIes 6
 for Some Phoenix Business Men.

Superintendent B. Reed of the La
 Coronado mine, situated a few miles
 from Florence and owned by Phoenix
 business men. came to town yester-
 day with box full of specimens of a
 new ledge that he had just struck in
 the mine They are some of the fin est specimens of covellite, mixed
 with bornite and chalco-pyrite that
 have been brought here in a long time. The blue covellite runs as high as 70 per cent copper.
 The findingl of this ledge was re- lated by Reed. ''It is an overllang- ing ledge" he said. that had a thin coating of tale over 1t which made it very deceptive. We thought it ran about 17 per cent copper and intended to leave it alone as it made good roofing. Yesterday I bored through the tale with a three-foot nine drill I found the rich blue stuff all the way through. How deep it is I do not know, for I used the longest drill I had and then didn't reach bottom. The ledge is fifty-one feet long
 The specimens which were on ex- hibitiOn in City Assessor Barnetts Olflce yesterday were examined by many mining men and pronounced remarkably rich. The lense was found by drifting at the 260- foot level La Cronado is now down to PTS feet and the work of sinking the shaft is progressing steadily. All of the necessary machinery for mining the property is now on the ground, though not yet installed. There are air compressors, drills and a twenty five horsepower Fairbanks Morse en- zine. The stockholders are now in position to sink the shaft a thousand feet if necessary When the ore is mined it will mean a short haul to Price on the railroad and from there it will be shipped to the smelter at | Hayden.
 The stockholders came in one at a | time during the day to look at the | new find. They shook hands with | themselves and with each other and | then went away dreaming of motor | cars. aeroplanes, castles on the Salt | and everything else that costs real | money.

UNION BANK WILL
 FOLLOW PACE SET
THE CENTRAL AVENUE BANK WILL NOT BE LEFT BE-
 HIND BY OTHER BANKS.
Plans Are Being Drawn For the I'm mediate RemodeIing of the
 Building.

| The pace set by the other three
 banks or Phoenix is to be followed | by the Union Bank & Trust Com pany. The Valley bank started it
 by erecting fine bank building two years ago. The National Bank of | Arizona followed with an imposing four-story structure now nearly com pleted. The Phoenix National has an neXed the store next to it and is re- modelling the whole interior Now comes the Union with plans for a complete remodelling of the building now occupied and the enlargement by | three times of the present space. The Union Bank & Trust Company has been at somewhat of disad- vantage because its exterior has pos seSsed none of the distinctive char acteristic features of a bank building stranger coming to the city would not be attracted to it for banking purposes by the style of architecture as it IS at present similar to the other buildings in juxtaposition to it. It has also been handicapped by the meagre space afforded for the transac- ton of business.
 All this is to be remeded scheme for the remodelling of the L. G. Knipe, the architect. yesterday He will at once devote his attention to the work and prepare plans as speedily as consistent with good work He has been given practically carte blanche in the matter. As soon as the plans are in shape the work .l.. s- gin
 The plan is to tear out the front wall of the building and build it in again on an entirely different archi tectural scheme. The semi classic with heavy pillars in front will prob ably be adopted. The material will be terra -cotta and pressed brick, proba- bly white or cream color.
 Back of the present quarters are two large rooms that have been used for offices and storage. These two walls will be torn out and the whole space given up to the use of the bank The character of the fittings and interior decoration have not been selected but it is presumed they will be in accordance with the new pro- gressive policy of the bank.
 Several months ago the Union bank officials determined to go after their share of the city's business and not permit the other financial insti- tutions to outgrow theirs. They be- gan the work of reorganization by acquiring the services of Fred Cleave- land as cashier. With new blood on the directorate, a somewhat more az gressive business policy and thorough Iy modern methods may be expected of this institution.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, July 23-The stock market today still reflected the dis turbance of sentiment which followed the cut in the National Lead divi- dend. The significance of that action as a manifestation of stock market strategy and financial policy on the part of powerful group and of it's ability to be the cause of uneasiness still holds. The ability grows mainly out of the position of the same finan- cial group in the copper industry. whose efforts to form an agreement to curtail production and hold up prices have been reported
 The adoption of a contrary policy of cutting prices to the level of sub sistence only for low cost producers of copper would entail consequences that are dreaded from. a speculative standpoint. The question of divi-- dend maintenance was made to apply to United States Steel on account of the approach of the dividend meet ing Tuesday. That stock sold down to new level for the year. but re- ceived influential support on decline
 Compilations were published of railroad earnings for May as report ed to the interstate commerce com mission, which showed that all roads reporting gains compared with May of last year of S31, ,9S3.0 900 or 1925 per cent in the gross, and $5.226, ,00O, or SOC per cent in the net. The show ing is better both absolutely and relatively than the April showing, when the increase over the preceding year was $27,2G1 .OOO or IA per cent in gross and sS,75S.OOO. or 5S1 per cent in net.
 The bank statement showed a gain of actual cash holdings of upward of Sl6,0O0.000. but with only a nominal | decrease in loans. |

A BATHING BELLE.

She dOns a bathing suit of blue.
 And down the beach she goes. With little giggles of delight
 To wet her dainty toes. She dabbles in the briny pools,
 She wades along the sand She races with the merry waves,
 And VOWS It's simply grand. She lets the nipples of the surf
 Around her ankles play And splashes in the pearly foam,
 And frolics with the spray; She counts the silver sails that pas Against the distant sky, And dances with the pillows bright
 But keeps her powder dry. -Minna Irving in New York Times
