MANY IDEAS FOR RUFFLES
Worn in ProfusIon, There Has Come Decided Revival of the Hand-
 Made Ones.

Now that we are to have ruff1es at the wrist as well as down the fronts of blouses there is quite revival of the handmade ones.
 Fine muslin, handkerchief linen and the old-fashioned tea-tinted batiste are the fabrics used.
 The latter Is especially dainty and goes well with the oldworld look of all the new trimmings.
 Women are making these during their idle hours. The material is bought by the yard. then cut into strips two and four inches wide.
 The edges are either scalloped and buttonholed in conventional fashion or they are hemmed and the embroidery put above. This embroidery is done In fine French designs, showing small basket of flowers, or in classic bor- ders.
 The former is new and artistic when the tiny flowers are done in faint-col- ered floss. One set of ruffles on old yellow batiste has baskets in the French form, with the turned-down ends done in the color of the founda- ton.
 The tiny blossoms, tumbling out, are In faint lavender, pink, blue and spring green. This can be copied on white foundation.

A gentleman in want of coachman had an Irishman apply for the situa tion, when the following conversation took place between them: You know.

It Doesn't Pay.

It doesn't pay to be grouch, 1t doesn't pay to wear frown; Nobody ever made his pile By knocking every one in town. There are some better reasons
 why
 A man should smile upon his
 way, But here is one, financially A gloomy visage doesn't pay. There's money III acheerful a smile, A fortune in a cheerful word, And money often reaches souls That finer things will leave un-
 stirred And so put it up to you, Don't nope and whine along the
 way If it is money you desire, \ gloomy visage doesn't pay. Twere better that you smile,
 because You wish to cheer your fellow
 man, And speak a cheerful word to help A weaker brother if you can. But if these reasons don't appeal To you, 1 write it down today, There money in a happy face; A gloomy vistage doesn't pay.

Nigeria.

The estimated area of southern Nj geria is 77,000 square miles, that of northern Nigeria, the hinterland of southern Nigeria, is estimated at 225.- 900, and the native population of the two com bined at from 15,000000 to 20.00O,000. yet any effort at scientific agriculture or mining Is confronted by the labor question. The wants of the natives are few, and on account of their primitive custom of acquiring only personal property, and that in the form of cattle, wives and children, depending on the latter in old age for support, they give little thought to laying aside money for use in time of illness or old age. In the far interior traders say that the natives often re- fuse money in exchange for their products. gathered where they have not sown, but will receive tobacco, spirits, cotton goods, etc, when they desire them for immediate use. In some parts of the hinterland tobacco is an absolute necessity in trading with the natives.

Democrat.

The republican press is mlghti- ly worked up because of a report coming from Washington that President Taft had promised Senator Bailey of Texas to at tach the name of Arizona to the next great battle-sbip. Is there anything unreasonable about such a report. Bailey was the steadfast friend of Arizona in the statehood fight and forced the republican leaders in the senate to consent to the consideration of the statehood bill. In view of this it is quite likely that the dis tinguished Texan extended his friendship further and joined other friends of Arizona in ask ing that the new battleship be christened Arizona" ."-Bisbee Review.

They bring men into closer social relations, and cherish those feelings that thrive and put forth blossoms in each others welfare. They make men thoughtful and helpful, expanding the senti- ments of love, charity and good will.

A Flagstaff special to the Ariz- ona Gazette says that Percy Lo- we'll. head of the great observa- tory located in that city and a native of Boston, is an Arizona candidate for the United States Senate and will make the fight for the position.
 Lowell is millionaire several times over and is a man of great ability. He has been voting in Coconino county for the past ten years and it has just leaked out that his purpose in doing so was a desire to be in line for the Senate when Arizona became a state.
 Lowell with his sturdy bank account will be a factor in Re publican circles, and ifthat party is to succeed at the polls the de- mocrats of that section would rather see Lowell in the Senate than any other man in the re- publican ranks.

The constitutional convent ions in both territories should certainly be non-partisan.
