Takinu No Chances,

An old man who had led sinful life
was dying. and his wife sent for a
nearby preacher to pray with him.
The preacher spent some time pray
ing and talking, and finally the old
man said, What do you want me to
do, parson?"
"Renounce the devil, renounce the
devil" replied the preacher.
"Wen, but, parson," protested the
dying man, II amt in position to make
any enemies"

the protest that he ''cudna drink DOT

Pressed, however, to try, he put the
flask to his lips, and the sound of the
steady gurgling never ceased until he
handed back the empty flask.

responsibility Mr.. Pearcc performed
splendid service and faced many dang.
erous situations. lie was also ap.
pointed deputy sheriff by the first
sheriff Of this county, when Arizona

His agreeable fellowship, and his
will Of iron, made him one Of the
most popular men Of his day in Ari-
IONA. In NIL raids made against the
Apache, he was always in the van,
and performed excellent service. He
was one Of the most agreeable Of

failed TO assist the needy or de-
serving. After his official life end
ed, he went among the mines aud
Iabored with his own hands for .
generation TO build up the country.
Only last year he was granted
furlough and went to Eureka district
and performed the annual assessment
work on his group Of mines, without
any assistance whatever. In adver'
sity or prosperity, his dcmeanor
never changed, and he faced the fn-
ture complaeently and In spirit
that won him much admiration.
Mr.. Pearce was about 81 years
old. and when last seen in this city
about a year ago, was as 1.-THE rs
how. and Of the same fellowship that
made him one Of the best known and

This excess was exceeded only once,
 in 1907-s.
 Let uss see what part cotton had in this great outcome in our interna- tional trade. Beginning with Septem- Der 7,456,27S bales were exported in
 ten months, valued at $556, TIPS, ,547. How much more was exported in the twelve months is not stated in the table at hand The cotton exports of ten months created the excess of trade and about $35, 100000 to boot. Take out the cotton sold abroad in the fiscal year and there would be deficiency in our foreign trade-a deficiency that would have drained away good share of the gold that we hold. Two years ago more bales were exported, but the value of bale was much higher in the last fiscal year than it was two years before.
 No matter how we look at our for eign trade, cotton is and long will be it's backbone. Without it the country would either have to reduce it's im- ports one-half, or else it would stand as a nation yearly becoming more in 1ebt, and therefore poorer. Our wealth and prosperity are based in short on cotton. The fleecy staple s our best card, our strong point, our pete noir, and yet there are those who say that hay rules the markets of this country. King Cotton would 1ot speak to Mir. Hay as he goes by.

From Current Literature (August.
 The newly published autobiography of Richard Wagner, than which, says a critic, the history of literature for 100 years does not show work more pro- only the master-musician of our age, but a man with qualities to which we cannot remain indifferent. He was human, all too human." and perhaps this Nietzschean phrase explains Nietzsche's own reaction from him after years of adoring friend ship. Richard Wagner himself put the whole matter in a nutshell when he said:
 T am differently organized from others T have sensitive nerves-I must have beauty and splendor and light. 1 cannot be content with the wretched position of an organist, like Bach Is it really such an outrageous demand if I claim a right to the little bit of luxury which I lilSe-I, who am preparing pleasure for thousands and for the whole world?"
 He claimed not merely a little luxury, but all that his friends possessed of money and devotion. ''He ate his way through the world and through his IItefQs lives, one lSOIluOn reviewer re- marks, "as a worm eats it's way through the tissues of a body. heedless of the suffering it causes, caring only to get the nourishment it needs" The popular con- ception of Wagner as "a man of in- finite persistence, of brilliant genius, of
 more than doubtful morals, of over
 weening selfshness. and yet so much | beyond other men as to make the world at last accept him with all his faults D
 adds Franz Workman in the New York Bookman, is amply confirmed out of his
 own mouth in this self-written life of l his.
 The very history of the book makes it's
 own appeal. It covers the life of Wag-
 her between the years 1913 to 1864, and is
 based on memoranda extending over 35
 years A king-Ludwig of Bavaria
 helped to write, or at least to transcribe
 1t. Much of it was dictated to Cosima,
 the daughter of Liszt, Wagner's second wife. Half a dozen copies were actually 1 printed, but these were understood to be private, and were given only to intimate | friends. Frau Cosima has at least re- leased "Mein Leben" for worldwide cir | culation.

FAMOUS NEWSPAPER "FAKE''

From the New York Times.
 Possibly it may interest MT. Wilson, ciitor of the Jewellers Weekly, whose let ter you publish today, to know just how the fiction of the jewellers dummy clocks originated
 The first story was printed in a New York newspaper 0he World) on Sunday, August ?, 1891. At that time I was mak-
 ing an extensive research into the city's records for old New York material. A fliend of mine on one of the newspapers ttld me l was making entirely 100 much trouble and putting too much effort into my work.
 Fake it." said he; nobody will ever know the difference
 We were walking down the Bowery ar the time, and right before us was jew eler's shop with a good-sizsd dummy clock before the door, The hands on the clock pointed to S:2o. See that clock" said my newspaper friend T don't know why the hands point to s:3O, but they do on most dummy clocks. It would take you about 70 years to find out with your method of in' lVestigating old records. Now, under my idea, it would take only 20 seconds Tell me the process" :, Well, this morning I read magazine story about the shooting of president Lincoln Why not say the hands or the dummy clocks point to the hours of h's death. Weave a little romance in ana say that an admirer of Lincoln stood be- | side a dummy clock maker when he heard the news of the shooting and sa,a to the maker Have the hands point to the hour of the shot
 On the second Sunday after that the Sunday newspaper printed tho story that my friend had sold it, and printed as well cut of a jewellers clock. I kep' tie story for many years. an1 because oi ther associations remember the date per- | ftctly.
