THESE ARE YOUR ANCESTORS
When One Considers Their Vast Mum. Der Pride of Descent Seems Very
 Foolish.

Are you proud of your ancestors? Of how many of them?
 Since the beginning of the Chris tian era-a mere 1911 years-you have had l29,235, 5,O17, ,4se, ,534 ,975 ancestors Imagine. if you cap, how many per sons were needed since the beginning of the world to bring you foTth-you, who are reading this now. It works the other way, too. If a single cou- pie had started 5000 years ago to pop ulate the world. and everybody had grown 10 maturity and married at the age of 21, the earth's population would be 2.l99.915, followed by IA ciphers. However, this world would not hold them all; 1t would not be large enough To give all these people breathing space the size of the world would have to be multiplied by 3,166.52e, fol lowed by 125 ciphers. That is the only way in which these enormous numbers can be expressed.
 How futile, then. is ancestor wor- shipi Every one of US. high or low, has had in his ancestry kings and peasants. criminals and saints; it is almost impossible 10 name any one of ones own race to whom one can not prove in some way remote rela' tioBship.

ceronatIen sermons.

In the old days. when prelates were constantly called upon for sermons on special occasions, they frequently either paid for a suitable discourse or begged some competent friend 10 write one for the occasion. Bishop Johnson gained general applause in I759 for a sermon preached in West minister Abbey at a great service on the day of thanksgiving appointed to be observed for the signal sue, cesses with which his maiesty's arms had been blessed" An enthusiastic vote of thsnks was passed by the house of lords 10 the preacher flor his eloquent and excellent discourse" {" and he was requested to "cause the same to be forthwith printed and pub lished." It was announced as the work of James, by Divine Provi- dence, Lord Bishop of Worcester" but many years afterward the fact was disclosed that every word or this ser, mon had been written for the bishop by bis friend Lord Mansfield. The sermon contained a glowing panegyric on the many admirable virtues oi George H.-London Truth.

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS
Mankind and the World Frequently Disappointing to Hopeful Youth,
 Says Theodore Parker.

suppose many of us are a little disappointed with mankind. The world of the girls dream is not the world Of the young woman's actual sight and touch. and still less Is t so of the woman no longer young. In the moonlight of dreamy youth, as we look out of the windows and re- ioice in the blooming apple trees. how different does the world seem from what we find 1t the next day. when in the heat of a May sun. we go about and remove the caterpiiiars from the scrubby trees. A boy bred in a wealthy family in a little village. se- cluded from the eyes of men. filling his consciousness with nature and the reflection of human life which deep poems and this great magnificent Bible and other religious books mir TOT down into his own soul. goes out into the world. and finds things very different from what they appeared when seen through the windows of the home which his fathers and moth CTS affection colored with the rose and violet of their own nature.--The- odore Parker.

MODERN WOMEN LACK GRACE
Famous Artist Says Fair Sex Never Before Walked or Carried It,
 self @ Badly.

Marcus Stone, R. C., the famous artist. says: T do not believe that women-or men either. for that mat. ter-have ever walked or carried themselves as badly as they do now. the women with their elbows out. their shoulders up. their necks push ed forward. the men for the most part cbestless creatures with sloping necks- Arms were not made to stick out on either side like jug handles.
 ~Of course. as an artist am at war with fashion and It's constant changes-which prevent woman evolving a dress which expresses her individuality-but especially with the fashion of wearing corsets. which. to my mind. destrot the outlines of the figure and cramp the freedom of woman's movements. Never before in my life has woman been so much imprisoned and laced up as she is today-that is to say. of course. all except the willowy women. whose fig ures accord with present fashion. How can she moTe gracefully in a tube which pushes her shoulders up, shortens her neck. and sends her el- bows out? The sloping attitude of neck adopted by men and women l attribute to the wearing. especially when young. of high stiT collars. The least pressure on the back of the neck sends the head forward. and thus a habit Is formed"

COWBOY TOURNAMENT
 FURNISHED GOOD SPORT
It is Still Going on in the Court
 of Justice High.

The most varied program of range sports ever seen in Bisbee was given Sunday afternoon at Warren Park un- der the management of John McLaugli. lin and Win Hinman. the entertain ment lasting all the afternoon. The bucking was not as sensational as some that has been seen in the dis triet, on account of the slippery ground, but on the whole the pro gram entertained.
 McLaughlins comeback at the Bo- quillas roan did not come on as scheduled, the rider fearing to tackle the horse on account of the. condition of the ground.
 Jim Kinney and Geofge Young were the principals of a little bout that was not down on the program, com posed of slaps and counters, but neither one was injured Kinney is reputed in the southwest to be the champion of all busters of broncs' and Young has a riding reputation as long as an arm, so there is naturally a cert ain degree of professional jealousy between them. Officially. Kinney still remains the premier rider of the south west, by virtue of having won the S56 prize for excellence in horsemanship, and seemingly through a slap On the wrist by fate, his rival, George Young. wen the prize of S5 for having the prettiest shirt. Nevertheless, Young was one of the popular heroes of the tournament,
 Steer riding was one of the novel events of the program, and ore that not many people of Bisbee had seen. Oscar Mcconnell excelled in this sport and won a prize of SEQ. Other prize winners were: Miss Armstrong, first prize s25 if cowpony race; Rich Armstrong, first prize in relay race. S25: Dan Sheebee of Naco, second prize in relay race, S10.
 Rain interfered with the meet to some extent, but it was a success, a considerable sum in gate receipts be ing realized. As an aftermath of the tournament, Mr Hiilman, of Hiliman's cigar store. attached a portion of the receipts for an alleged debt of Will Hillman, one of the impresarios of the tournament, attachment papers be- ing secured from Judge Highs court, and later Jim Kinney secured labor eT's lien on the money attached. The mstter will be threshed out in Judge Highs court

.ROYALLY ENTERTAINED
 BUT TWICE BEATEN
How the Bisbee Team Was Slaughtered to Make
 Mexican Holiday

The Bisbee ball team lost both games to Cananea Saturday and Sun day, the first game by the score of IS to 3, and the second game by the score of s to ,. The Bisbee players say they were royalty entertained, l however Tine members Of the Bis bee team intended returning to Bis bee Sunday afternoon, after the last game, by automobile, but 1t rained so hard that the return home was postponed until yesterday.
 The first game, as is shown by the score, was more or less one sided, Cananea almost trebling the score of the Bisbee team The Bisbee team was not representative of the War ren district league as several of the best players on the All-Star team, including Chapman and Ross Cham pion, could not accompany the team. On the other hand, several of the old Cactus league players were in the lineup of the Cananea team.
 Sundays game was a little closer than the first one, the Quien Sases having an edge of only three rdns when the game closed. Cananea won the game in the first inning, getting lead of five runs that could not be overcome, although the Bisbee team made three runs in it's half of the first. Cananea increased it's lead by getting two runs in the fourth and one in the eighth. as against one in the third and one in the seyeth for the Bisbee team. The lineup of the teams in both games was as follows:

cAAnlrN ANn STAMINA

It has often been observed that
 living organisms require for their fullest development a certain amount or resistance in their environments
 The individual or the species for which things are made too easy loses the unused function. The butterfly helped from the carylisis has imper- feet wings. The man fed on soft foods has bad teeth. The parasite is always a weakling and sometimes a degenerate monster The parasi- tic doddeT. which draws all it's sus- tenance from the sap of the host, is a plant without a root or a leaf. The hemit crab, which instead of growing a shell for itself. like other crusta- ceans, makes use of the east-oh shells of mollusks, is atropied in some Of it's members and enfeebled in it's whole organism. So with the intel lectual environment and the mental qualities of man. The Journal or the American Medical Association says that the pauper and the pamper- ed child of wealth are deprived ot these qualities of initiative and self reliance on which their respective en- yironments make no demand. Unnec- essary charity is twice cursed; 1t cur seth him that gives and nim that takes: all of which goes to prove GIT proofs were needed) that abuse of medical charity is as bad for the pub lie as il is for the profession.

WRESTLER HUSsEA

Thomas Young Accepts Chal- lenge for Match
 October 1

Thomas Young. of Bisbee. has ac. eepted the challenge of Ed Young of Tombstone, for a mixed style wrest. Ing match, the bout to take place in Bisbee on October | Young has writ. ten Hussen of his acceptance of the challenge published in the Review several days ago. The first bout will be catch-as-catch-caH style. and the second Cornish style. If either wrestler wins the first two falls he shall be declared the winner of the match, but if each obtains a fall. the man putting down his antagonist in the quickest time in the previous falls, shall decide what style the third fall shall be.
 Young's answer 10 Hussen's chal lenge is as follows:
 Ed. Hussen, Tombstone, kriz.:
 Tn answer to your challenge of Sep tember IT, I desire to state that I will accept it. It looks good to me. as I have always had to NTestie bigger men than I am. and when wrestling smaller men than myself, I have had to take on two
 agree to wrestle you by the rules of Cornish style wrestling and also by the rules of mathematician, the first man to foul to lose the match and be disqualified, as it will be as fair for you as for me. The judge must he a man that truly knows the game in both styles.

Rank MaterIaIIsts.

Tn their outlook on life most Chi- nese are rank materislists. says writer in the Century. They ply the stranger with questions as to his in- come, his means, the cost of his be- longings. They cannily offer paper money instead of real money at the graves of their dead. and sacrifice pa per images of the valuables that once were burned in the funeral pyre.
 Yet no one who comes into close touch with the Chinese deems this utilitarianism a race trait. They are. in fact, capable of the highest ideal ism. Among the few who have como near to the thought of Buddha or Jesus one finds faces saintiike in their depth of spirituality. The material ism is imposed by hard economic conditions. It Is the product of an age long anxiety about tomorrows rice and Is not to be enumerated by the influence of the petty lift them above sordid anxieties.

NO CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM
Large Number Of Defective School Children an Old Phenomenon,
 Now More Evident.

The enormous number of defective school children should not alarm us too greatly. Bad as 1t ell is, there is plenty of evidence that it. is an old, old phenomenon-as old indeed as man himself-but now more evident because there are more people. It Is less in rural districts, though still present. and as the population IS now largely urban. it Is quite natural that the proportion of detectives should increase. though as a matter of fact there is no evidence that 1t has, Big cities are modern affairs and that is why their phenomena are being dis covered, but the accounts of London some centuries ago showed a deplor. able number of detectives, probably far greater In proportion than in New York now. Though it Is appalling that there should be nearly quarter million diseased school children, yet the defects are of minor things, while formerly they were severe. The seat of most of the trouble is said to be msinutrition, but 1t Is not nearly so bad as in European cities of the last century. That Is. the new facts must not cause undue pessimism, but rath- CT the reverse. for they show that though there is an immense proven tive work ahead of us. the progress made in century or even half cen tury has been enormous. Optimism Is in place. even if we are sure that perfection is unattainable. Moreover, our preventive work Is rapidly becom- ing more and more efficient now that we are learning the exact conditions and their causes.-American Medi. cine.
