STRIKING EFFECT IN NEW
POSTAlS.

New postal cards are promised,
cream colored. printed in red ink. This
is an attempt at being artistic in which
the government should be supported by
all public spirited citizens. If the sup
port shall consist in buying up the
whole output and getting rid of it as
quickly as possible, let Us be alert to
this, condensing our necessary CORE
spondence and even laying ourselves
open to the charge of vulgarity.
But if the effort at artistry shall in
deed prove a failure, let us as loyal
Americans all agree not to send the
new postals abroad, but to keep them
a sad secret within the borders of the
land.
Especially if one adopt the fad of
writing with ink that matches. one may
make very easily for his correspondents
a red letter day.

HEARD IN THE LObBIES

There are some professions that give
a man an extraordinary insight into
the smaller Weaknesses of the human
race. No reference is made To plumb
ing, the most aristocratic, or to law,
the most celebrated of professions.
The plumber sees only one side of
human nature-the angry side, when
he comes three hours late, and spends
four hours repairing a broken pipe
that might have been fixed in two.

office, whether plaintiff or defendant

photographer who sees others as

Trincano that blthe and comfortable
individual who is So well known for
his urbanity. is, as many people
know, an amateur photographer of
uncommon Skill and never was his
peculiar ability as a photographer
better displayed than on last Sunday
afternoon when he took a few views
of the Ford hotel Hobbies. He adj
justed his kodak in the front room
and was on the point of swapping the
picture. when the clerk, suddenly over
come by modesty, protested that the
bulb should not be pressed until ne
had had time to leave his exposed po-
sition. In the meantime the picture
was taken. Then Mr.. Trincano smiled
as though he had no idea that the
modest clerk had delayed making his
protest until he was practically Ger
tain his countenance had been
stamped Mr. TrincanO was so eN-
ouisitely diplomatic that he said moth
ing whatever about the pride whlch
he knew the clerk would take when
the pictures were posted I'M the front
window. He was so tactful that he
pretended to believe the clerks Ia
ment that he was really offended, and
quite put out by the idea of having
his picture taken by an unchaperoned
stranger. In fact Mr.. Trincano's con-
duct proved him a man OF sense ana
feeling. It is believed, by those pres
ent in the lobby Sunday, that he
would pay a good Talleyrand to Mr..
Schuler's Napoleon.

FAIR COMMISSIONS OFFICE

FAIR COMMISSIONS OFFICE
The territorial fair commission has
leased the quarters in the basement un-
der the Phoenix National bank, occu-
pied some years ago by the Bodega
saloon, but which for long time have
been empty. The commission will open
its office there on the first OF June and
remain at least until after the next

found that would better suit the pur
pose of the commi ssiOn, after the
apartment has been repapered and
fixed up as il will De. II is probably
the coolest place in the city during the

sion's busy season, and it is centrally
located, convenient for both the COM
