The Latest Feminine Fashion.

What will the ladies Of Arizona do
ton is not So idle as it may seem:
for while Paris invents the innova-
tons i'm woman's dress, the women of
England and the United States are
the final arbitcrs of popularity-and
the women of Arizona do their share
i'm making up the American verdict
on the latest fashions
Paris failed to score in the two
English speaking countries with either
the "directoire' Gown-the contrap-
ton that had a slit at one side to
show the leg-or the "hobble skirt"
The 'directoire" made no Roadway at
all in feminine favor, and the 'hobble
skirt did little better. II had linn
tied vogue for brief period. but it
has already gone to the scrap heap
of discarded fashions. II remains TO
be seen whether the "harem skirt
will attain a wider popularity than
the two freak fashions which pre-
ceded it, The "harem skirt is a
modified form of the "bloomer.' with
which the public had little familiar
ity a generation ago The "bloomer.'
however. never had the sanction Of
the Paris oracles of fashion.
50 far as the attitude of the public
across the water has been developed,
it does not appear that the "harem
skirt" will become widely popular.
Some of the leading actresses Of
Paris are appearing in the new gar
ment. hut only the followers of eX-
IRENE styles have dared to appear in
trousers" in the streets. The atti-
tude of the Paris public appears to be
one Of mild approval In London the
first woman to appear on the streets
i'm the "harem skirt created a de-
cided sensation. Crowds followed her.
and policemen had to make way
for her through the throngs She
was finally threatened with arrest
FOR causing "A crowd TO assemble,
and she drove away i'm cab. The
real test of popularity. if not tolcr-
ance. will come after the novelty Of
the new garment has given way to
familiarity.

KEEP THE TOOLS SHARP

The rewards of life depend upon
diligence, and the mechanic rhat would
perfect his work must first sharpen his
tools" is an oft-quoted saying of Con-
fucius
The mechanic of today who doesn't
keep his tools sharpened has poor
chance of getting ahead or even keep
ing even Workmanship of today
whether il consists of mending shoes or
building fine engines, must b. of the
highest order The shoemaker who
"bungles a Job" has small chance of
prospecting and there is no place for
the man who cannot do other classes of
work in the best possible manner.
Today the world demands perfection
and the man or woman who nearest ap-
proaches that condition gets the re-
wards For if reward depends upon
keeping the tools sharp it also depends
upon the diligence with which one pur-
sues his work. The time has gone by
when a man might slight his work one
day and catch uP the next. This is an
age when competition is developed To
the very highest degree and IT matters
not whether a man is selling his brains
or a pair of shoes, he must be alert, he
must be in fighting trim every moment
and he must be ready To improve his
chances.
More and more the young men of to-
day look out for places where less
manual labor is required but where tn"
ma ximum of intelligence brain
powers demanded The man who
can furnish this is the man who gets
the big place when it is open.
Too many Young people delude them
selves with the belief that for every big
job there are a dozen favored sons OF
the rich. Now. Il more ignorant or fool
ish idea never possessed men. These
big jobs are not given out by inherit
ance. They only go to the men who
keep their tools sharpened'-the dill
gent men who have been training them
selves with the expectation of some day
stepping into better places.
Most of these men have not been
actuated in their plan of progress 81
much by the reward IN the way Of
money dangling at the end of the string
or for the power and influence big posi-
tions give, as they have been driven
along by force bigger and greater and
more powerful than themSeNcS-thc
desire TO make themselves instruments
Of the greatest capability AMI useful
ness.
When man once gets that idea
into his mind. his blood warns up and
he never allows its temperature To
lower He is like a great engine with
every pound of fuel doing fun duty and
with throttle wide open and track
clear ahead. II bounds along To 4 Ger
tain goal. and 50 does the man who has
fixed his purpose and made his chief
intent in life the desire to be as per
feet as possible i'm his line Of cndcavor
This is the type Of man who keeps
his tools sharpcned and never allows
them To get below a certain standard
When he cuts he cuts clean There is
no mistakinG either the intent or the
act. Such man gets To- the top and
when the rewards arc passed around

UNCLE SANS MAIL POUCHES.
Kinds. Number, How Made and Vast
Territory They Travel Over.


Uncle Sam has twenty eight differ
ent kinds of mail bags i'm seruicc.
and they range i'm cost from - cents
To S2.156 each. says Harpcr's Weekly
There are mail pouches for almost
every conceivable use. and YOU can
ship almost anything that comes
within the postal regulation with "a
minimum of loss and brcakaGe Prob
ably the most peculiar mail bag is
the one arranged for carrying bees
Sending bees by mail was a difficult
operation before the bee bag" was
adopted. Usually the bees arrived at
their destination dead or So exhausted
that they were of little use. Now
these little money makers can he
shipped by mail several thousand
miles i'm the bee bag without suf-
fering. and can obtain air and a good
supply Of food during their transit
Mail bags are made of various ma
tcrials. The cheapest are of cotton
and the most costly Of leather. Those
used on fast expresses are reinforced
with metal so that they can lie flung
from fast moving trains without dam
age. Even then these bags, OF catch
er pouches" do not last much more
than year and a half while some
of the cotton bags used for the work
will remain i'm service upward of ten
years.
In parts of the West. where the
mail must be carried for many miles
on horseback. special pouches are in
use for singing over the animals
TANKS In the far frozen north spe-
-cial bags are made for sled transpOr-
tation. and i'm the cities bag i'm use
for pneumatic tube service is made
of a composition called "leatheroid."
The ordinary cotton mail bags are
woven so closely that they are prac-
tically waterproof, and in the weave
there are thirteen stripes of blue.
Each country marks its own mail
pouches in some individual way. SO
that if one gets lost i'm far country
its ownership can be readily detected
Nearly $4,000. 900 mail bags are used
each year by the whole country. and
the supply has tn be kept up. There
are mail bag hospitals where tens Of
thousands of them go every week.
One such mail bag hospital repairs

Tn. Supreme Court of California.

The judgment of the supreme court
of California in reversal of the con
viction of Abe Ruef has created more
trouble for that court than all the
decisions it has rendered in the past.
The decision has greatly strengthened
the movement for an amendment to
the constitution to provide for the
recall of all state officers. including
the judiciary. and in public state
mcnt the other day Chief Justice
Beatty frankly stated his belief that
if the proposed amendment is adopted
the first use made Of il will be to re-
call the Justices az the supreme
bench.
And il must he said in fairness.
tina; there appears to be ample
ground for the popular dissatisfac-
ton with the Ruef decision. That
Ruef will go scot free at his next
trial is the general expectation. and
there can be no question as To Il
miscarriage of justice in that event.
II is very difficult for the lay public
to understand how it is just for a
criminal to escape through the meshes
of the laws net by virtue of techni-
calities Possibly the supreme court
could not follow the law of California
ond r.ndar any othcr decision than
the one handed down in the, Ruef
case. but the man in the street
cannot understand why such is the
fact.

California are deeply discontinued

Colonel Roosevelt an Advoo ate for
Arizona.


In his speeches IN Illinois on
Wednesday. Colonel Roosevelt made
II clear that if he were president he
would approve Ariaona's constitution
regardless of any personal objections
TO some OF its features or possibly
II would be more strictly accurate 10
say that the former president believes
that he would give the constitution
his approval if he were president. 1t
is one of the familiar facts in human
affairs that there is often vast diff
ference between what a man thinks
lac would DO. if he had the power,
and what he would actually do if
clothed with the responsibility of act
ing When Colonel Roosevelt was
president he objected most vigorously
To- Oklahoma's constitution. and in
structed his attorney general to eX
anime the enabling act and the con-
stitution and advise him whether it
was within the power OF the president
tn deny admission to Oklahoma under
The constitution submitted The at
torncy general found that sufficient
discretion was not lodged with the
president to enable him to reject the
constitution. Moreover. President
Roosevelt sent Mr. Taft. then his
secretary of war, into oklahoma to
urge the people of that territory to
reject their constitution. And yet the
oklahoma constitution. although it
provided i'm a complicated form FOR a
limited use Of the initiative and ref
crendum. WAS nothing like the Ari-
iona constitution in radicalism.
Still. it is very possible that if
Colonel Roosevelt were president now
lac would in fact approve the Arizona
constitution. for he has more than
once shown his fine contempt for
such terrors as the man of small
mind finds in the charge Of incon-
sistency. The audacity Of Gladstone

GOLD FOUND NEAR HERE
Minneapolis Hunters Discovery $780,
600 to Ton Deposit in Koochiching.

Seven Minneapolis hunters say
they have found gold in Koochiching
county, though they doubt whether
the deposit can. be reduced CONNER
cially at profit. The discoveries are
not buying any land or starting any
rush for the new Klondike. The gold
is said to be in township &C., range
%, Koochiching county, just north
of Nett lake. The party consisting
of O. Brown, John RentZ, A. Moot,
Charles Kronick, b. P. MOorhead, U.
G. Dorne and w. P. Cooper, spent
ten days in the woods hunting ducks
and cartridges. They report finding
the gold in a bank of sand disinte-
grated from the solid granite por-
phyry rock along the bed of an old
lake. The hunters took 80 pounds to
Minneapolis. Mr.. Rentz. who is a
manufacturing jeWeler, made borax
!, fluid with an ounce of the sand and
had the product assayed. It ran close
1sto $4,000 to- the ton. The great
question is whether there is any prac-
tical way of getting the gold out OF
| the sand. It is no place for placer
mining on cheap scale, they admit
