all the fashionable world at your
home"
yes, dearest Louise" replied Ma
dame X, 1T was so smart that | could
not ask you, because l knew you had
only one gown, and that gown has
grown shabby"
Poor Louise rose and left the house,
with tears of indignation, to think
that her friend should prove herself
one of the Queens of Snobs.
The next morning the old concierge
at Louise's dwelling place came tot
tering into the room where Louise
sat, taking her simple breakfast of
crp OF coffee and a roll. Among
the letters which the old concierge
brought her she at once recognized
the handwriting Of her great friend
Madame X:
"My dear Louise, have been so I'M
happy ever since l was so cruel to
you yesterday. l am sorry from my
heart, and I send you the inclosed
check, so that you may go to the
most fashionable dressmaker in Paris
and get a beautiful gown"
And when this maiden lady told me
, this story l said to her, 81 hope you
didn't accept the check-after sucn
treatment as you had received"
But she replied, "Mr. Fred Martin,
my gown is so old and shabby, and
if it should come to pieces l have no
more money to buy another. The
temptation was so great for me to
buy gown in which l could hold my
own with anyone in the world that
have been used to mix with, that
could mot refuse, and l wrote her a
charming note accepting it, and l
went and got the gown. So that in
stead of having only one now, have
two. And the unfortunate part of it
all is that l myself have become a
snob, because my new gown l wear
only at certain places where l think
l am going to meet the smartest peo-
pie, and my old one l wear when
go to places where am sure to meet
friends nearer to my heart who are
not so smart. So that the result of
the whole thing is that have become
snob myself"
We had a good laugh over this, and
| said to her, "The phantom of a snob
is always knocking at the door, ready
to creep into any home"

heart, and in its place were sympathy
and sorrow, to feel that this girl
should have a mother who had proved
the truth of what the world said about
her, that she had bit of ice where
her heart should have been.
Dining in Paris last spring among
the American Colony, I met a num-
Der of people from Chicago. There
happened to be one, an elderly lady,
who had placed her daughter very
we'll in life as regards marriage and
money.
The daughter had, after the mar
riage, moved with her husband to
Paris and taken up their residence
among the American Colony.
Meeting one day the mother of this
young married lady, l learned from
her that her daughters husband had
died since l had seen her. When
next met the young widow, l could
not help saying to her, in the SYM
pathy of my heart:
81 am so sorry that since l last
saw you, you have had the great grief
of losing your husband"
She looked up, with dt cary, far
away expression in her eyes, as she
replied, ooh! Yes-yes! Poor man;
he is gone! But, you know, he had
a stroke, and it is far b tier that he
went; because if he had lived he
would have been nothing but drib-
bling idiot"
Good Heavens! l thought, what
one hears, moving from place to place
in the great social world, and what
shocks one receives! 1t was on the
tip of my tongue to say to her, "Who
knows whether it was not just the
GOODNESS of the hearts of those who
surrounded him that drove him into
this condition."

The heartlessness of the snob is
truly appalling. He would stop at
nothing to attain his ends. The other
night a friend of mine, Miss Robbins,
told me that about a week since she
was engaged to dine with a friend
whom she thought loved her. On
the eve of the dinner she called up
her friends and said that she had just
received a telegram from Baltimore
telling her that her only sister was
desperately i'll, and that she must
therefore give up her dinner engage
ment that night. Her friend gave eX-
preston over the telephone to what
was almost shrek of despair, and
exclaimed:
what on earth can do? You will
break up the whole dinner! Can't you
make an effort and come? Your Sis
ter may not die tonight"

7HE GOVERNMENT

W IS making experiments
 with public ownership to an extent greater than most persons realize. It has in the postofice department the big gest business institution in the country. It owns tele- graph lines in Alaska and the Philippines and operates them. It conducts a steamboat line and a railroad in connection with the Panama Canal, that 1t is building itself under the management of an army en- gineer. It carries on surveys of the public lands. It does so many things that when the socialists succeed in electing a a majority of the members of Congress, instead of one lone some member, and they de- cree government ownership of various things now managed privately, 1t will hardly cause a jar to the business world. As to the success of public ownership, Q recent consular report states that in the past ten years the city of Hull, England, has received from the profits of the municipal street car system $7oo, 900, which has lessened local tax ation by just that sum. In addition to this the receipts of the street car system provid-

M4OW IS THE TIME N for every business man
 and citizen in Holhrook

and citizen Ill Holbrook to get busy and B co s T ! BOOST! BOOST the pro- posed new railroad to be built from here to the large virgin forest and coal lands south of here, of which this city will become the main outlet. If you want this propos tion to go through 1t will be up to ev- cry individual to get busy. Do you realize what an i'm provement of that kind would mean to Holbrook? Probably not, but there Is one thing certain and that is, if the rail road is built 1t will increase the population of our city 200 per cent. If we can in crease our population that much, business will increase accordingly and real estate will take a ump never before experienced in Holbrook. But don't think for a minute that all you have to do Is to sit back and wait for these things to happen, that will never do, the thing to do is to get busy and do 1t now. This new railroad is not the only possi- bility we have here, but it will be a very good beginning to make Holbrook one of the most important towns in Nor thern Arizona. The soil in  this vicinity is the best in the world for farming and artis ian wells, windmills and gas oline pumps are being used to get water on same and the re- suits are astounding. We have room here for many times the people we now have so let us get busy and try to get them, and let this new railroad be the starter. Again we say BOOST.

GNVERY TOWN HAS ITS

C advantages and should
 make the most of them Every town is fitted for some one enterprise more than an other, and as soon as 1t is as certained what would be most conductive to the growth and prosperity of the place the citizens should take hold of the matter and push 1t for all it's worth. The newspaper cannot do 1t. But one man or a newspaper with the help of the wide awake men make a wide difference in a town. Ev- cry man who succeeds i'll a town is a help to 1t. The more money he makes if he spends 1t the better for the community. The larger bus mess he builds up, the more he advertises, the more atten- ton Is called to the town. A man cannot build up an hon orable business in a town without helping it. A town cannot build up without help ing the country. The inter est of one IS the interest of all.

The Event Of the
theatrical Season.

Without doubt on next Satur-
day night. Marion theatre-goers
will have an opportunity of see-
ing the greatest show ever seen
in this city when j. A. Coburn's
Greater Minstrel comes for one
performance caused by an open
date.
Manager Frisbie learning of
this Immediately started the
wires working and after several
long distant talks and by offering
special inducements wishing to
give the people of Marion the
very best in the show world.
This aggregation come direct
from Paducah en- route to the
Northern cities and the same
performance will be seen as given
before Broadway audiences.
The Cincinnati Inquirer said
in part of the show:
"Coburn's Greater Minstrels
came to the Walnut for weeks
engagement and the opening
was packed house with one of
the most enthusiastic audiences
of the season. and the entertain
ment they offered was OF that
class OF minstrelsy that perpetu-
ally attracts and holds it's audi
ence. The spectacular feature
was provided at the closing part
of the performance, by Mantell's
Marionette Hippodrome and
Fairyland Transformation, which
was beautiful and artistic.
Good old fashioned minstrelsy
however was the strong feature
of the show, and in that it
scored its real success. The
voices were much better than
are usually heard in Ministries,
and the dancing was of the sort
that brings your feet to a patter
whether you will or not. Es-
pecially pleasing was the quart
cite which was encored time and
again. But really special men,
ton is invidious where all voices
were good and all features up to
the highest standard of Min
strelSy."

1t is equipped with bucket seats and car
ries a large gasoline tank in the rear Il

mark of a speedster, but. unlike many
roadsters, Il is an unusually comfortable
car. The designers of this model have

The EMF 80" demi-tonneau differs
from the roadster only in the seat arrange
ment; the tonneau accommodating two pas
sengers. being substituted in the rear in
place Of the large gasoline tank and rear
locker. In this model the tank occupies

the use OF a man with a small family. The
demi-tonneau is sold in two styles. With

detachable tonneau is listed at S1.o5O The
detachable type permits the use Of the car
