THE SENATOR AND THE
WISE OFFICE BOY

Occasionally young novelist will
drift into Washington to get the
atmosphere of the capital for his
work. A western senator tells of q
young lady who came to him with
the most thrilling love story, all
neatly typewriter. 1t contained
love-making episodes on almost
every page, and when her hero and
heroine were not actually so occu-
pied, they were getting ready for
the next spurt. The Senator was a
little fiattered that the young lady
should seek his advice on points of
political procedure, which was to
occur in the life of the hero. In
order to give him a clearer under
standing of the charm Of her prin-
cipal characters she read to him
extracts from her manuscript:
Twas in the orchard that they
met, and the crimson blush on her
checks outrivalled the glory of the
gorgeous blossoms that dropped
above her lovely head. He took
both her hands in his and sought to
gaze into her face, averted like a
flower tossed by a summer signing
zephyr, the Senator here remarked
that the language was very fine"
He gazed upon her encarmined
check and alabaster brow, and then
softly lifted one Of her golden ring
let's, which had been waited toward
him on the scented breeze, and re-
verently kissed it."
At this moment the office boy ap-
peared.
"Oh, rats" he cried, impulsively.
Now that the boy mentions it, I"
said the Senator mildly, why should
a young man fool with a lady's back
hair when her ruby lips are within
easy reach? When | was a young
man | never acted that way. Be-
sides ladies don't wear ringlets now,
it's all rats and mice and ready
made puffs. Had you not better
revise it, my dear?

THE BIG BUSINESS OF BEEF

Let fancy endow Adam with the
gift of eternal life. Start him the
day of his creation, to piling up sill
yer dollars at the rate Of a dollar a
minute. Permit him to work in
cessantly eight hours a day the
week long down the ages. He will
lack 1868, 900, 900 of having enough
money to pay for all the live cattle
in the United States in the year
1910.
Such is the magnitude of the beef
industry. The annual report of the
Department of Agriculture, issued
few days ago, indicates that there
are 96,658, 900 cattle in the country.
At the. estimated increase in the
population over the census of 1900
this provides a cow or bullock for
every human inhabitant, adult or
minor.
1t is but natural that the citi-
zen should manifest interest in
ascertaining what becomes of this
beef. 1t is his right to be informed
that the source Of his beefsteak is
rapidly diminishing, that the num-
ber of cattle decreases on a ratio
with the increase in population, that
the great cattle ranges, which the
late Frederic Remington loved to
picture. are on the verge of con-
signment to memory, and that there
are mighty elements besides the
beef trust which enter into this
thing we call the cost of living"

Great Business" by Walter C.

WILL HOLD CONVENTION
First Territorial Convention
Of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement

The Laymen's Missionary Conven-
ton, which will be held in Phoenix
March 4th, 5th and 9Th, promises
to be as interesting to religious men
and women as the aviation meet
was to the secular circles of the
Territory. The object of this con-
vention is to interest the Christian
men of Arizona in worldwide re-
ligious movement, which has for its
purpose the spread of the Christian
religion among all peoples and in all
tongues. Just at present the Lay
mems Missionary movement has its
strongest support in the United
States and in Canada, but Europe
| is also taking hold of the movement
and it promises to be the religious
marvel of the age.
At the Phoenix convention there
will be some of the ablest speakers
of the world, who are coming to
Arizona for the sole purpose of ex-
citing interest in the movement and
to tell the Christian men of Arizona
what can be done by united effort
on the part of the laymen of all the
denominations. The convention will
consist, it is estimated, of not less
than 500 hundred delegates, each
church in Arizona being cordially
invited to send delegates. The esti-
mate, however, does not preclude a
church from sending as many dele
gates as it wishes. In fact, the
committee is exceedingly anxious to
see vast concourse of people in
Phoenix during the convention.
While the convention will welcome
all corners, it will keep reserved
seats for the delegates and steps
will be taken for dollar banquet
to be given to the five hundred dele
gates. If more are elected and come
they will also be cared for when the
banquet is served.
In fact, in taking UP this matter
Phoenix churches have moved with
celerity and great activity and are
making preparations on gigantic
scale. Committees, composed of
vigorous, energetic business men,
have been appointed, headquarters
have been established, and large
sum of money guaranteed and every
possible step will be taken to make
the convention vastly popular. The
distinguished men who have been
sent out by the national committee
will first meet the delegates in a
social way at the dollar banquet and
afterwards on the floor of the con-
vention, where many important mat
ters will be considered and discussed.
Every religiously inclined man in
this city and every other man who is
seeking information concerning this
world and the future of men should
attend the Phoenix convention. Un-
questionably they will be royalty
entertained and committees are now
hunting up homes for them while
they are in Phoenix.
Low railroad rates have been Sc
cured for the dates of the conven-
tion.

sTIFF NECK

Stiff neck caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck. 1t is
usually confined to one side, or to
the back of the neck and one side.
While it is often quite painful, quick
relief may be had by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment. Not one case
of rheumatism in ten requires in
ternal treatment. When there is
no fever and no swelling as in mus
cular and chronic rheumatism, Cham
berlain's Liniment will accomplish
more than any internal treatment.
