New York, May THE prettiest
clothes woman owns are sure to be
donned for a wedding even if the
wearer is not specially prominent as
relative or bridesmaid and there is no
better opportunity for seeing every
late sartorial conceit than at such an
affair, where all sorts of handsome
toilettes. from the brides satin dress
and costly lace to the pretty gowns
that have been worn in on train
from the suburbs, is in evidence.
The Brides Dress.
AT most of the prominent weddings
the brides gown has been of satin
charmeuse, embroidered and trimmed
with point or point duchesse lace and
court trains draped from the shoulder
such as was worn by Miss Marjorie
Gould have been most used. Very few
brocaded satins have been worn by
brides, embroideries on plain sur
faces being preferred for the wedding
dress. though brocaded materials
have been much in evidence in the
handsome costumes worn by older
relatives and friends.

The Brides Dress.
Eridal Wells.

The most popular form of bridal
veil has been like Mrs. Drexel's, of
tulle, with or without an edge of point
or duchesse lace. and the prettiest
and most becoming arrangement has
left the hair uncovered near the face.
The veil caught with orange blossoms
just back of low pompadour. for in
spite of the prevalence of the Ouch
esse braid the low rolled arrangement
of the front hair continues to be pre-
ferred by many of the best dressed
girls in society, the turban couture
being too popular to suit fastidious
persons.

Photosraphlng the Stomach.

An improved apparatus has been
made by Dr. Fritz Lang of Munich
by which the inside of the stomach
can be clearly photographed The
camera is actually swallowed by the
patient, and no sooner does it reach
his stomach than the walls thereof
are Illuminated by small electric
lamp attached to the apparatus. AT
the bottom of the camera is wound a
Photographic film 20 inches long and
quarter of an inch wide. All the
surgeon has to do is to pull cord
and thus run the film past the lens
The electric light is then turned on,
and after the sensitive film has been
impressed with the image the current
is turned off and another section OF
the film is brought into play, until the
requisite number of pictures have
been obtained. When this is done the
entire apparatus is withdrawn from
the stomach.

this work is started, it would be
wise to adopt the latest plans in
road building.
An ideal road would be to grade
and spread a layer of several inches
of small rock and gravel, then to
cover the entire mass with about
one-half inch of oil. Another layer
of gravel, topped with oil, on which
good gravel sand would cover to q
depth of an inch or more.
When this road became hardened
it would be free from ruts and
would last for many years. Repairs
would be a thing of the past, or al
least infrequent, and the cost would
be exceedingly small. when the ex-
pense of keeping the present roads
in good condition is considered.
1t would by far be the most eco
nomical way of building the roads
and the people would have a road
to travel over that would be a de.
light and free from disease-ladened
dust.
There is nothing that the people
of this valley want more than good
roads, and no better advertisement
of the valley could be made than to
haye the outside world know that
we have the best roads in the
country.
The people have never been back
ward in helping financially accord
ing to their ability to provide funds
for good road making, and if the
board of supervisors would take up
this matter and start the work of
new road building with the view of
the best and permanent
kind of a road, there is hardly a
doubt but that the people would
subscribe personally to road fund.
They have done so in the past, and
will do so again, and it will be
matter of great satisfaction to
everyone, if, in the making of bet
ter roads, some up-to-date plan, as
above suggested, is adopted, so
that we will have hard and even
roads to travel over, and which will
be free from dust.

His Old Father Satisfied

Twenty years ago a discouraged
young doctor in one of our large
cities was visited once by his old
father, who came up from rural
district to look after his boy.
We'll, son." he said, "how are
you getting along?"
Pm not getting along at all, "
was the disheartened answer. I'm
not doing a thing"
The old mans countenance fell,
but he spoke of courage and patience
and perseverance. Later in the
day he went with his son to the
Free Dispensary," where the young
doctor had an unsalaried position,
where he spent an hour or more
every day.
The father sat by, silent but in
tensely interested spectator, while
twenty-five poor unfortunates re-
ceived help. The doctor forgot his
visitor while he bent his skilled en-
ergies to this task; but hardly had
the door closed on the last patient,
when the old man burst forth:
i thought you told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, if
] had helped twenty-five people in a
month as much as you have in one
morning, would thank God that
my life counted for something"
There isn't any money in it,
though" explained the son some
what abashed.
Money!" the old man shouted,
still scornfully. Money! What is
money in comparison with being of
use to your fellowmen? Never
mind about money; you go right
along at this work every day. I'll
go back to the farm, and gladly
earn money enough to support you
as long as | live-yes, and sleep
sound every night with the thought
that l have helped you to help your
fellowmen. Chicago Advance. -

Folks

We are all striving to rise above
the condition of mere folks. That's S
what we are doing when we spend
hours with tailors and dressmakers,
when we lucubrate for diplomas,
when we scramble for titles, offices,
culture, wealth, honor, fame and,
finally, for an extra long line of
carriages leading up to a mammoth
tombstone.
But it can't be done. Pigs is
pigs. Monkeys is monkeys. Folks
is folks. We look upon the picture
of some proud leader of fashion of
the past, and we laugh-laugh at
them all. We may head parade
down Fifth avenue, only to go home
and be scolded by our wife for not
having mailed a letter. We may
have made our pen fit the compli-
Gated lock of literature, only to be
insulted by a bill collector for being
asked to call again. We may think
we have reached the pinnacle where
we can annex the appellation "su-
perhuman," only to be compelled
to give references to the elusive
cook at the employment agency.
Folks is folks. Novels may be
written about noblemen. Utopias
may be devised by idealists. Some
great name may be invested with
all the beatific qualities of a deity,
but when we get up close, take the
Honorable So-and-So's by the hand,
and look them in the eye, we find
they are all folks, just folks.-Lip-

Mastery

Extracts from a sermon by Rev
P. d. Gardner, pastor of the SAT-
ford Methodist Church, South:
Mere duration does not make
anything great; you may regard il
with feelings of interest and think
how it existed long ago; but if il
has no intelligence and no conscience,
if it has no other quality than its
antiquity, you cannot pronounce il
great. A clod does not cease to be
a clod because it has existed long.
A moral being, though it exist but
! an hour, though it may be clothed
by the body of the lowest insect,
would be a greater thing than the
most glorious sun that God has set
into space and sent rolling on its
path. 1t is in our higher nature
only that we are men, and it is
there only that we measure our
selves as men. Everything in us
that we have that is below our
moral nature, we have in common
with the animal creation around us.
Grass is good for mere leaves, and
if it produce enough of them it is
good grass; shrub will produce
leaves, but if we plant it to produce
blossoms and it produces nothing
but leaves, it is poor shrub. An
orchard must produce above it's
leaves and blossoms, the fruit, else
| it is regarded as failure as an or
chard. Vineyards are not judged
by the amount of their leaves, or
even by its clusters of fruit, but by
the wine that is produced from it's
fruit. And men judge by the same
rule. In other words, they find
where the characteristic element of
thing is; and there they measure
it. We measure things at the point
wherein their superiority lies. We
estimate swine for fatness, dogs for
sagacity and horses for speed and
endurance. g...
Now man is measured by that
which makes him a man in distinc-
ton from all else, and that is not
the foot, nor the hand, nor body,
nor appetites, nor passions, nor
economic and commercial power,
for these are not the things that
make the man; but it is that which
has been stamped upon him-God's
image-that makes the man. 1t is
that part of his nature which intro
duces the moral element to invisible
realities, and the benevolent ele-
ment to the very divinity of love.
Here man must be measured, here
man is judged, for only here does
he become a man. And our sub
stantial judgment of what we are,
what our character is, and what we
are worth among men, as men, is
to be formed upon this high devel-
opment. You are worth just how
good you are and no more.

RATES OF LEGAL ADVERTISING
JULY Is, 1910.
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS

In its issue of July 10th, the Ari-
zona Republican makes lengthy
comment on the editorial published
in last weeks GUARDIAN, under the
title of County Division" which
brings out all the points made by
THE GUARDIAN in seeking reason
for Governor Sloan's act in calling
for an election of officers in Green
lee county.
In winding up it's article the Re-
publican states:
"On the whole, however, there
may be some business for the law
yers before it is determined wheth-
er the organization of Greenlee
county is interfered with by the
statehood enabling act.
Neither THE GRAHAM GUARDIAN
nor any other paper in Graham
county, so far as we are aware, has
referred to a question connected
with the division of that county
which seems to us far more i'm
portant than any that have been
suggested. We refer to the ques-
ton of the county indebtedness.
The law creating the new county
provides that it shall assume its due
proportion of the legal bonded in
debtedness of Graham county :"
Now it so happens that Graham
county has no legal bonded indebt-
edness" exclusive of school district
bonds, although the county is in
debteded to the Territory in the
sum of $146,0O0; the Territory hav-
ing taken up the bonds of the
county in that amount, charged the
county therefor on the books of the
Territorial treasurer, and issued it's
own bonds in payment of the in
debtedness, Time and again the
act in its reference to the adjust
ment of obligations between the two
counties describes the debt as the
legal bonded indebtedness" of
Graham county. How Greenlee
county can be made to assume any
portion of the debt of $146, 900 owed
to the Territory by Graham county
is question that undoubtedly will
have to be settled in the courts" /"
In answer to the above it may
be stated that the legal bonded in
debtedness" of Graham county,
amounting to $146,OOO, is provided
for in the act of the legislature Gre
ating the new county of Greenlee,
by stating that Greenlee county will
assume all the bonded indebtedness
of Graham county. In other words
Greenlee county will pay the bond
ed indebtedness" of Graham county
to the time the county is divided.
The people of Graham county will
certainly pay all its indebtedness,
and this refers to the people of the
east end of the county as well as to
those in the western part of the
county.
We hardly think that the people
of Greenlee county will seek to
avoid the payment of this indebted
ness, or that it will be necessary to
resort to the courts for settlement.
The act of the legislature creating
the new county is very plain in this
particular matter and specifies the
manner of payment of the legal
bonded indebtedness when county
division has become a reality.
We do not fear but that the peo-
pie Of Graham county will clear up
all its indebtedness when the time
arrives.
