Who has not yet learned that the

There are today about 200 so-called
legal reserve life insurance companies

United States, and of this number those
that the experienced insurers in every
section recognize as standing out las

A Complete Combination.

William T. Stead, editor of the Eng

of an Irishman who applied to one Of
his friends for position as coachman.
You know, Pat, if | engage YOU

to bring the carriage round at a given
time l shall expect the horses with it

Yes, sorr,' said Pat.
He was duly engaged and gave sat

to him telling him to look sharp and
go for a doctor, as his mistress was i'll.
Pat was gone for a long time. and on
his master grumbling at him for his

How the Editor Is Harassed.-'

How the Editor Is Harassed.-The
editor of local paper is often un-
Justly censured for his mistakes.
The wonder is. that he does not make
more of them. On the average paper
he must deal with all kinds of SUB
jects. give the names. date. etc. One
hour he may be engaged in reporting
a religious meeting and the next
drawing the picture of a fight. He
must condense and fill with his
items several columns, whether events
are transpiring to throw up material
for his use or not. Count the local
items in a paper and imagine how
many steps they have required, how
much mental anxiety, worry and work
they have cost and some idea of the
editors work can be gathered. The
smallest may have cost him long
walk and much effort to reach the
facts. There Is no end to his work.
When one paper goes to press he
turns his attention to the next one. He
makes the rounds in search of news
and may not get a line. From some
he must get news without their know
ing it. drawing them into conversa-
ton and obtaining what he wants in

Spirit Of Young America.-A teacher
in a Philadelphia public school recent
ly narrated the following account of
how an aspiring young Italian citizen
was beginning to show the effects of
an American environment. The story,
which was told at a teachers associa-
tion meeting. runs something like this:
Tony had been away from school
about a week, and when he showed up
one morning the teacher asked him
where he had been.
Il ran away" said Tony.
Ran away? What did you do that
for?" asked the teacher.
My father was going to lick me, so
thought I'd run away" was the re-
ply.
The teacher by further questioning
brought out the fact that Tony for
some trifing dereliction had been
threatened with a beating and had
stayed away from home the best part
of a week.
But your father has the right to
whip you," said the teacher.
Yes, he may" added Tony, but |
was born in this country, and don't
want no foreigners to lick me."-Pitts-

During a local election i'm a German
town only one man appeared at the
nomination desk.

the official.
Myself" was the answer.

We'll, no."
The officer laughed and said:
Then we must try again. Whom
do you nominate?'
Myself"
You accept the nomination."
No"
A subdued "Donnerwetter!" escaped
the lips of the perpleXed official. but
he went on:
For the third time, whom do you
nOminate?"
Myself" came the invariable reply
DO you accept the nomination."
The man rose up, and a smile of sat-
isfaction spread over his face as he
answered proudly:
Having been three times solicited
by my fellow citizens to accept the
nomination. | can no longer decline to
accede to their wishes" He then re-
tired.

Expensive Economy-The late Sem
ator Platt, discussing one day in
Washington an economy he had no
faith in, said:
Such an economy reminds me of old
Smith and his keg of beer.
Smith and his wife used to drink a
quart of beer every night before re-
tiring. This indulgence cost them 10
cents. But Smith came home one day
in great excitement and said:
Here's man with barrel of beer.
1t will only cost us cents a quart this
way. An economy of 6 cents, Huldah.'
That evening the Smiths sampled
the new barrel and they found it good.
After the pitcher was finished. Mrs,
Smith said slowly:
George. we've saved cents on our
beer tonight

and cents saved is 6 cents earned.

 John Sampson was pulled from the rods of the outgoing Maricopa train Monday evening by the train crew and turned over to Constable Estrada. Cn- like the average hobo. he made no ef
 fort to get away from the trainmen when the train stopped here. He even showed an inclination to argue the matter Upon being taken to the jail. he was locked up but was not con- fined to a cell. The constable waited on the outside a short time tn see how his prisoner would take to his new quarters and it was but a mO- rlfent until he heard a sound within as of the breaking of wood. The con- stable forthwith prepared to put him in the cell but found that Sampson like another man of that name once upon a time was possessed of a won
 derful amount of strength. He was finally obliged to call on outside help. Yesterday morning Sampson was as- force of circumstances was obliged to take the days.

Performances Are
 We'll Up To the Mark
Sanford Dodge and His Company Are Pleasing Mesa Audiences by
 Their Clever Acting.

The Sanford Dodge company made successful appearances at the Vance auditorium both Tuesday night and last night. Those who attended either or both performances gave the com- pany big boost in an advertising way for tonight's show by proclaiming the excellence of the presentations. and there is every prospect for big crowd tonight when "Othello" appears on the boards.
 Sanford Dodge himself was of course the central figure in The Gladiator, and his acting was. deserving of the eulogistic press notices which he has received. By bigness of dramatic power he gave the character of Nero the heroic properties which his creator the playwright intended him to have. Dodge is good actor of classic roles.
 As for the play. it is a curious pot pourri of Quo Vadis," The Sign of the Cross,' and several other inde- terminate ingredients. which, like the onion. half-suspected animate the whole
 As Faustina. the empress of Rome. Miss Adele Nickerson appeared to full advantage in a heavy feminine part well adapted to her not inconsiderable abilities. she played with large dig nifty. rich voice and plenty of grace.
 Miss Hazel Haslam and Miss Tyler Kent. who played the parts of Neo- damia and Hernia respectively. ap- peared on the stage as pretty fair act resses and mighty pretty girls. There were plenty of expressions yesterday t...ffceruing the good looks of these two. ana a. chance to get one good look at them is considered in itself about worth the-price of admission.
 One member of the company. Louis Lytton. has been in Mesa before. He came -here as a member of the Earl Burgess stock company. made many friends in town then quit the Burgess people and joined Belasco's forces in Los Angeles After playing with the
 BeIssco stock coImpany for a while he drifted out and got with the San ford Dodge company. Needless to say. he does very creditable work on the stage.
 ~Othello" will be played tonight. It is probably the best of the Dodge repertoire. and one of the masterpieces of Shakespeare's handicraft. That 1t will be given an adequate pre- sentation is a matter of which those who have seen the other offerings of the Sanford Dodge company have no doubt. The tickets are on saie at Ev- erybody's drug store.
