Comment From Capital

of the headlines alone would convince
a stranger unfamiliar with business
conditions here that this nation was in
the midst Of unprecedented prosperity.
Here are a few of them: business

DESERVED CONFIDENCE.
The truth is that honest business
men all over the country have wei
coined the success so far achieved by
the democrats, and since the demo crats
so far have justified every confidence
placed in them by the business inter
ests, by demonstrating that legitimate
business has nothing TO lose and ev-
erything to gain by democratic rule.
these same honest business men, if
reports coming in from all over the
country are to be believed, are deter
mined.tQ increase the democratic re-
sponsibility.

brother should ask him what his inten-

Dear Mrs. Thompson am engaged
to a young man who has gone abroad
to be absent for two years to COM
plete his education. Would it be right
for me to go with other young men
during that time. NAN.
No indeed. If you wanted to be free
to go with different young men you
should not have promised to marry
any one. Remain true to the lover
who has gone away.
Dear Mrs. Thompson have spoiled
a new suit by spilling acid on it.
Wherever the acid touched it there are
white spots. Is there any way to re-
store the color? MRS. L. o. w.
Put ammonia on the spots and then
apply chloroform. This will restore
the original color.

A GOOD definition of mean man is
this: The man who In cold blood
points out the inconsistencies in your
best story.
An eastern war is pretty nearly as
much an event in newspaper circles
as a carnival Is In a small town.
The man who gives his wife all the
money he wins at poker is too good to
be true.
Destiny is apt to abide with the man
who has q strong arm and a small
conscience.
Some people are so constituted that
they can't be happy even when they
are.
You can give a pretty good guess as
to the kind of woman she is by MOTTO
ing whether she spends the fifty her
rich uncle sent her for a new dress to
get set Of books for her husband or
for kitchen cabinet.
The woman with a drug store COM
plexion always looks ready made.
When a man wants to get even with
a neighbor it is hard to decide between
a bull pup and chickens.
1t takes sweet tempered woman to
cheerfully give her new cake recipe to

Travelling as The Bird Flies

Travelling as the Bird Flies.
Rodgers fight across the country
is interesting as an example OF per-
sistence, and makes a new record for
long-distance fight, as such records
go. but, as a triumph of aviation, il is
chiefly a demonstration of the gap
yet 10 be bridged before man can fly
like a bird. The distance from New
York to the Pacific coast is approx
mately 5000 miles, Rodgers travelled
4231 miles to cross the continent.
While Rodgers actual flying time was
but So hours and + minutes, he was ~
days in making the trip, and Edward
p. Weston, over 20 years OF age, walk
ed from ocean TO ocean in y days, and
railroad trains are making the trip in
five days, combining a maximum Of
comfort with a minimum of danger for
the traveller.
Rodgers achievement possesses
some remarkable features, but a more
interesting and suggestive bit of avia-
ton was noted last week when a gar
den party in the outskirts of New
York was surprised by the arrival OF
one Of its fair guests in a fy-about
driven by her aerial chauffeur, having
made the trip with as little incident or
danger as if she had taken out her
electric runabout or her six-cylinder
touring car.
It Is estimated that there are a
thousand non-professional flyers in the
United States at present. The steady
increase in their numb ers is more
significant of the development of av-
.atfon than any spectacular feat of

Chesrfui Autumn.

Whoever started this here thing
About the melancholy days,
When Joy. IL seems, has taken wing
And flown off in the autumn haze,
Has chased itself in forty ways
UntH the very air is blue
And gloom its mournful flags displays?
All can say IS. II amt true.
There amt no sea son quite so swell
AS autumn when it's feeling good.
When it has cast its sOmber spell
Upon the meadow and the wood.
The forest wears its crimson hood.
The river murmurs low and clear,
AS IL In words half understood
It sang a song of harvest cheer.
For there are hickory nuts that call
And apples TO be gathered in
And other treasures of the fall
To fill the basket and the bin.
Afar the thrasher's mufFied din
Is sending forth hymn of praise.
You must admit II is a sin
To call these melancholy days.
No. peace and plenty rule the land.
Why should not joy on it attend?
For. 10. the playtime is at hand,
The seasons work is at an end.
Would IT be right such days, my FRIEND
To call the saddest of the year?
Not on your tintype, I contend.

MEX|CAnS OBSERVED
THEIR MEMORIAL DAY

Thursday was MeXico's Memorial
Day, and all over the lower republic
the Mexicans paid tribute of honor
and respect to their dead. The day
had new significance this year for
the Mexicans since the last observ-
ance of the day, thousands of Its
citizens have given up their lives for
liberty's sake.
All along the international border
where Mexican colonies are numer-
GUS. the custom of decorating the
graves of the departed was observed.
Large numbers of Bisbee Mexicans
paid visits to Evergreen cemetery
Yesterday and placed flowers on the
graves of their dead loved ones.
The day in Mexico also has a gala
side. unlike the American Memorial
dav and is observed as "a holiday to
n certain extent The Mexican news
papers publish satrical and humorous
obituaries about well known persons
who are still in the land of the NV
ing and illustrate the sketch with
a subject" which sometimes takes
the form of a skeleton. The opit-
uaries are written in poetical form.
This mixing of the quick with the
dead apparently appeals to the Mex
lean sense of humor, reminding the
Subject" that I'VE are here today
and gone tomorrow"

PRESCOTT REPORTS
BIG GOLD STRIKE

Arrivals in Prescott yesterday from
Crown King bring the information of
the greatest strike ever made in the
Bradshaw mountains i'm the Nelson
mine, which is under the management
of Geo. p Harrington, and consider
able excitement was prevailing. says
the Journal Miner. An eight foot ore
body, sampling s25 in gold To the ton
had been determined i'm the drift run
ming north from the bottom of the $50
foot shaft, which is the deepest point
reached. For IS feet continuous ore
body is developed. containing a heavy
sulphide Of iron. and as drifting prog
resses the grade of the ore continues
TO improve. As the drift is being run
foot for foot in depth is being reached
owing to the contour of the mountain
and which will not necessitate sinking
the main shaft for the present to
further depth.
The Nelson is a new undertaking
in that field. and is situated on one
of the greatest outcroppings in that
district. which can easily be followed
for over ten miles. This is the first
practical work extended that fissure.
although mining men have entertained
for the property a high opinion from
the network of veins that appear on
the surface at sevent distinct points.
Under this condition Mr.. Harrington
in beginning development few
months ago. selected the easterly vein
for sinking the main working shaft
with the intention later of crosscut-
ting from a designated point. When
a depth of about so feet had been
reached. the incline shaft passed
away from the vein, but the work
continued until the shaft was $50
feet deep. when his plans were carried
out so far as three of the veins were
to be explored. The results were
but approaching that
the ore bodies were indicative of sur
face conditions it was decided to con-
tinue the main shaft to greater depth
or to begin drifting north for the
vein that had been passed at the
upper level, which would give the
depth required AS this work pro-
crossed the vein was cut, with hand
some results.

THE LAST BISON HERD.

Across the dusky hills, as falls the
wintry gloom,
l see them come, a snow begrizzled
host,
silent, sullen stream of plodding
woes
The shrieking wind with ghoulish glee
fortells their doom,
Each whirling drift a shrouded
haunting ghost
Across their path its tagled gar
ments throws.
With heavy, low-hung. shaggy heads
and steaming breath
And eyes aglow with desperation's
fire,
With backs that arch below the
bitter sting
OF sweeping winter winds that wildly
wall of death.
They struggle on, impelled by blind
desire
For change, and chance relief that
change may bring.
l see them pause and halt, mass of
uuIilD utspdli,.
And ever huddle closer as they stand,
A silent. hopeless, fated horde they
crowd
As whirling drifts sweep madly
through the thickning air.
And ghostly screaming demons Ger
the land,
In ghostly y(,r$rrfcmfwypetaoi
In ghoulish glee. laugh long ana
loud.
Into the darkness and the storm they
fade away;
I hear no more nor see them in the
night,
For unto them no more are time and
place.
The morning breaks in silence bleakly
cold and gray,
The valley sits in robes of spotiess
white.
And in her lap there sleeps van
ished race. OUTDOOR Lle
