The church that will advertise that it's minister being that he loves humanity that choir sings old hymns and sings them we'll that will welcome strangers, that will open up pews cordially just opens the door of his home friend-sueh church will have any trouble in keeping its pews we'll filled.
 George Washingt ton has had attached to his advertisement that has lived about TO years because he slip of boy when his father accused hun of cutting down cherry tree and he acknowledged that he had done so by saying:
 "Yes did 1t, father; cannot tell lie"
 There has never been recovded far 1 know any contradcng that George Washington said this, the advertisement may be accepted truthful adver tisement
 Many merchant thinks he cannot afford to advertise when looks the big space used by big advertisers He forgets that those big advertisers had to start n small way-had to creep before they walked.
 No man should be discouraged about starting adver- Using a small way It the only he should start and it will pay for example:
 Two advertisers started using two-uch advertisem.n in two newspapers in big city twelve years ago.
 The advertisements three times d week, and they paid for position Their always appeared the page and they there regularly tall and winter, spring and summer
 Today both advertisers doing very large business and each is worth than a million dollars.

THE BRIDGE
 AT ST. JOSEPH

The Phoenix Republican has the following to say regarding the recent visit of the Board of Controls:
 During their stay in Flagstaff Messrs. Grand and Craig were sent for by the supervisors of Navajo county, who are much interested in the territorial work and who desired the visitors to investigate the feasibility and desirability of building a bridge over the Little Colorado river at or near St. Joseph. The su- pervisors had in mind the build ing of such a bridge and thought the Board of Control might be induced to assist in the under taking. Mir. Girand will also file a report on the question with the board of control, and does not care to anticipate it i'll an interview.
 Respecting the general plan of the territorial work, Mir. Grand said the Navajo supervisors are greatly interested and are anx- ious that some work shall be done as soon as possible in that county. MT. Grand did not care to discuss what might, could, should or would be done III the near future, but he said that ultimately there surely will be two transcOntinental high- ways across the territory, one in the north and the other III the south. The southern high way is now fairly well provided for, but when the northern road can be constructed is very much of a problem.

A Green Sponge

Sow a large white sponge with tice, oats or wheat; place it for a week or ten days in shallow dish with water in it; as the sponge absorbs the moisture the seeds will begin to osprout. When this takes place suspend the sponge from the top of the win dow and it will become a living mass of green, requiring on ly a little occasional moistening.- National Magazine.

COLORED MAN
 WITH A RAZOR

About 100 o'clock Sunday morning some of our citizens were aroused from their slum- bers by pistol shots. After events proved that the shots came from the redlight district. In vestlgation brought to light the fact that Dave Hosea. a colored man, working in the round house or machine shops, was visiting the tenderloin district that night and that he called one of the denizens to her door.
 That when the ebony -hued damsel joined him at the door, Hosea forthwith drew a razor and thereby began slash1ng.
 That he cut the woman's throat, nearly cutting the jugu- lar vein, and though not neces- sarily fatal, was a very nasty and blood-letting wound, requir- ing a good many stitches to close the lips ot the cut.
 The frantic screams of the wo- man soon brought Night Mar shal B. F. Ketchem on the spot, and the assailant, thinking dis cretion the better part of valor, took to his heels.
 The Marshal called a halt but the darky evidently didn't see it that way and therefore put him. self through his paces accord ingly. The Marshal fired two shots, the second of which brought down his man, with a bullet through the feshy DOT ton of his thigh, ranging down ward and coming out of the front part of the lower limb Both injured parties are getting along nicely. The man Ian. guishes ill jail, awaiting the ac tioh of the grand jury. Hosea evidently didn't know the Night Marshal's name was Ketch um, otherwise he wouldn't have made hrs futile attempt at es cape.

MAPS FILED
 FOR NEW R. R.

natural resources of Navajo county, will be the probable re- suit of favorable action by the land office on maps for a right of way across pubic land, filed with the Arizona land office by the Navajo Development com pany, in the interest of the Nav ajo Southern Railroad company, of which F. H. Bowen and Will H. Clark, respectively, are presi- dent and secretary. MT. Clark, who Is a well known business man of Holbrook, was in Phoe- nix a day or two ago attending to the details of filing the maps and application for right of way. It is understood that the project is backed by capitalists of Ely ria, Ohio.
 The proposed railroad is to be approximately seventy mi le S long and run from Holbrook in a southerly direction to a point ill township s north and 23 east near the town of Pine to and not far from the north line of Gila county and close to the boundary between Apache and Navajo counties. It is supposed it will pass near the towns of Snowflake, Taylor, Showlow and others iu that section. The maps call for standard guage, regularly equipped commercial railroad though it is understood that the chief incentive for build ing is to make available the pine timber in southern Navajo coun- ty where 1t IS said there IS one of the largest virgin forests fn the land,
 Though no one could be found who could speak with authori- ty, it is understood that the promoters of the railroad enter prise have already made appli- cation to the forestry officials to buy a million feet of pine timber from the government, to be cut in accordance with the forestry regulations, during the period of the next twenty years, or at the average rate of 5O,O0O,OO0 feet per annum.
 From the main line of the Nav ajo Southern there will be branch lines for logging purposes wher- ever it shall be deemed desirable to penetrate the pine forests.
 While the building of this rail road is primarily for the devel- opment of a big lumber enter prise 1t has vast commercial pos sibilities in the future of a sec ton that is now remote from transportation facilities bu t rich in natural resources. There are large grazing interests in that region now and many little agricultural sections that are capable of much greater develop ment when they are given com municatiOn with the outside world. There are also great mining possibilities in southern Navajo and northern Gila coun ties which would be tributary to the southern end of this pro posed railroad. There are now no large mines in that neighbor. hood, most likely for the reason that mine there now is deaC property owing to lack of trans
 pOrta tion At the present time the country is seldom penetrated except by the few people who live here following pastoral ol small farming pursuits, and thos'
 who seek the wildness of that
 region in the summer time or camping, hunting and fishing trips.-Phoenix Republican.

MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGE

1 10, 1911. Conditions on the cattle market last Thursday were at the worst. The yards were full of cattle, all stockers, with no outlet for them. Rains Ill various places Thursday en. couraged buyers to respond to the urgent call sent out by com- mission men here, and the mar ket Friday looked up little. Saturday more than 125 car loads of stock cattle went to the country from here, largely to Kansas points, and the yards were pretty we'll cleaned up. less than four thousand cattle re- maining in the pens.
 To-day the run is normal again, 10000 head, and the market climbed a long way out of the rut 1t got into last week. Kill ing cattle are 10 to 25 higher today, stockers and feeders 25 to 50 higher than Friday, 40 to 75 cents higher than Thursday and calves are up 25 to 50 cents. Strictly dry lot cattle were not affected by the pannicky condi- tlons last week, and sold strong all the time, top $6. 75 for the week. The best here today sold at $6.4O to $6.6O, and this kind will likely go higher. Pasture cattle from native territory sell at $4.75 to $6.1O, native cows $500 to $4. 75, canners down to $2.OO, bulls $500 to $4.6O, calves up to $6 50 today, stock steers $3.75 to $4.35, feeders $3.'75 to $4.75. Quarantine re- ceipts last week contained a lot of thin cattle, which were cleaned up Friday at co w prices in many cases. Quarantine cattle are 10 to 25 higher today, most gain on the poorest cattle, steers at $3.75 to $500. some of the John son steers from Chickasha al $5.75, heifers, from same feec lot at $6.O5.
 Hog receipts did not show, the expansion last week that cattl, receipts did, account of the dr, weather, run for the week les than 7O,OOO head. A good man, dry weather hogs were included and the last half of the week tn wide range in the quality of tn offerings caused quite a spread in range of bulk of sales. Sup ply is 12,00O here today, mar ket steady to 5 lower. Thi market closed last week consld erably above the low time of tn, week, and there Is an element o strenth at work all the time il the market. The close toda , was with the loss regained, tol $6. 50, bulk $6.35 to $6.45. Ther IS not much distinction as t weight in price making, quality being the determining factor. Fat sheep and lambs mad

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

IA fE pride ourselves, in weighing worth and merit,
w Too much n virtues that e but inherit.
' Some punctual grandsire makes us hate delay
And W e are proud Ito keep our oath and day.
But u ancestral foIies and abuses
We still indulge in and make for them excuses.
Let him be proud, dared zen be proud at all,
Who stands where all his fathers used to fall,
Holding their virtues fast and passing On
Still higher good through his W victories won"
L o. RANKIN
Eyes, 1 suppose l shouldn't have said that, but you know l am natur-
ally quick tempered. 1 inherit it from my father, L think. You know he
had an uncomfortable tongue"
So / heard a woman say the other day. She said 1t very compiacent-
ly and apparently felt entirely content and justified in her excuse.
Isn't that a queer and yet a common state Of mind?-to think that
because on is born with a preui5poaion to some particular fault ones
yielding to it thereby becomes entirely excusable?
81 can't help being obstinate It's a regular family trait. The Bart
let's never could give up anything they really set their hearts on"
"oh well you mustn't blame me for being rather revengeful. We're
all that way. It's in the and aver to forget a friend Oh forgive an
enemy"
Il suppose 1 al rather quick to Jump at conclusions. but that's my
natural disposition. You mustn't lay it up against e
How complacently and with what serene selfjusuhcauon people go
about saying things like that.
If anything, it seems as If they were proud rather than ashamed Of
their inherited faiings.
Now of course the fact that one is naturally very weak in ONE direc-
ton might explain ones yielding to temptations Of that sorta little often
er than other people. But it wouldn't explain mes yielding IL the time.
And it wouldn't excuse ones yielding at all.
Someone has said, while W re are % responsible for the character
that re bring into the world, we are responsible for that re take out"
1t seem to m e that sums up the whole situation in a sentence.
We aren't responsible for having a tendency to be quick tempered or
pg-headed " unforgvfng, but W q most certainly are responsible II we d o
nothing to conquer it. And doubly responsible too-both for ourselves
and the generations that are to inherit u unconquered weaknesses.
we gain the strength of the temptation W e resist" says Goethe.
Better still, W lot only gain it, but we pass it IN to countless gener-
atfons and take away from them the weakening prop of being able to say,
Il m quick tempered, I a m pig-headed, l am unforgivmg-b because It's In
the family"
