After Election
 Snow In Tucson

Tucson, Dec. 1S-For the first time in two years, Tucson children slam med snowballs at each other Monday and their elders glorying in the white covering the ground, indulged in rem iniscences of other days in colder climates.
 Following blustery Sunday, snow began falling about 11:00 o'clock Sun day night. At some time near mid night it changed to sleet. About 500 a.. m Monday, snow began to fall in a few timid flakes. At 500 o'clock it was showing in good style, and by 7:00 o'clock the snow had ceased and it began to rain.
 Small as the precitation seems it was enough to cover the ground with white and give the youngsters plenty of snow balls. All the surrounding mountains were covered from peaks to foot hills.

 Ivanhoe Lodge, No. g, Knights of Pythias, at the regular weekly meeting initiated four new members into the Page rank at Castle HallNast night.

 The uniform rank of the order is already assured under the direction of Col. Kirkpatrick, of Yuma, and Gen. eral Rover, of Anaheim, Cal.

PROGRESS OF FRENCH WOMEN
Ridicule Their Education and Activities

Thirty years ago there were three colleges for women in France and one preparatory school; now there are seV enty-f1ve colleges and forty-nine pre- sparatory schools What does the change mean? Moliere. over two cen turtles ago in Les Precieuses Ridi cules" and Les Femmes Savantes. attacked the pose. self-consciousness and loss of proportion which the wo- men of his time sometimes showed in attempting to be learned Moliere laughed. however. not at education. but at lack of common sense. If he lived now he would not try to set back the clock, and ask women to devote to the needle the same attention that she gave before machinery was in vented He would not ask her to live as she lived before there were public schools for her children; creameries to make her butter and cheese; big manufacturers to take her place in, preserving food; immense comb1na- tions to spin cotton, make cloth, do the dyeing, make up the clothing. He would welcome the vacuum cleaner. the gas stove and the dumb waiter, and his laughter would be not for those who use modern labor saving devices. but for the futile sentimen- talists who cry for the vanishing of the past The outside education and activities of women are as unquestion able and irresistible as are the print ing press. the steam engine and the cotton gin.-Collier's Weekly.

CONSULT THE MIRROR
TELLS WOMAN TRUE STORY AS
 TO HER APPEARANCE.
Charms and Defects of the Face Are Revealed as if One Were Study ing the Features of
 Another.

No woman can really form an un biased judgment of her appearance by meeting her own gaze steadily in the glass The novelists will describe how the heroine takes a long look at herself, noting her features, one by one, and being satisfied or not, as the case may be; but really woman gets a very misleading impression of herc own looks if she conducts her exami. nation on these lines. Let her rest her elbows on the dressing table, frame her face in her two hands. and then gently press her hands, especial ly the tips of her little fingers. out wards from her face. If sensation of rest is experienced, if the contour of the face looks younger. the cheeks fuller, the eyes less haggard. the seeker after beauty must know that she is in danger of losing her youth. in which case this Is a good exercise to employ After resting the elbows on the table and framing the face In the hands, separate the little fingers. place them against the sides of the nose and draw them gently outwards until they once more lie close against the other fingers. Repeat this mas sage several times until the tired lines seem to relax.
 The use of a hand mirror will tell more clearly than anything if youth and beauty are passing. It is in this way Looking full face in the dress ing table glass. a woman sees her face reflected day after day and does not notice the small details. It Is just the same as if we see friend or member of the family every day. we are not so quick to notice a gradual change of health as one who sees him less constantly; now. by viewing ones own face by the aid of hand mirror. one can view it impartially almost as If 1t were the face of an other person. Its charms and its de fects are apparent in a way they have never been before. One sees instant ly whether the hair is arranged sym metrically or not, whether it is too high on one side or too low on the other, a fact never noticed before when looking full face in the glass. Then there are perhaps hollows under the eyes, lines round the mouth, a tendency to double chin, and many other departures from youthful beauty. These can never be remedied as long as the possessor remains in ignorance of them She who never uses hand glass as an aid to study her appear ance will continue at 40 years of age to see reflected her face at 20. The daily changes are so gradual that they will pass unnoticed by her Study the face by the aid of hand mirror every few months and notice the ravages of time That is one oi the first lessons to be learned in the art of beauty.

Hungry Crowd
 Is Lining Up
(From Tuesdays Examiner)


 If reports from Phoenix are true, and it is thought they are in the main, the following will be about the line up at the Democratic pie counter when the melon is cut and the jobs distrib- uted.
 As stated yesterday Mulford Winsor will probably be secretary to Governor Hunt.
 Hon. Thos. F. Weedin, of Florence, is to be prison superintendent, job which will just suit Col Tom as the prison is in his home town and he can still run his newspaper
 Frank DeSousa, a bright young newspaper man of Phoenix, is to be clerk of the supreme court, and as 8 newspaper man always earns all he gets, it is very probable that Frank has earned this.
 B. F. Thum, who started in to be state auditor, but was faded in the pre- liminary bout, gets his reward as state examiner, a position of responsI- bility and trust.
 J. J. Keegan, of Globe, is billed for mine inspector.
 J. J. Birdno is to be state printer.
 Lamar Cobb is to be state engineer in place of going to congress.
 A probability for adjutant general is Pierre c. Bayne, of Yuma.
 Dr. Geo. D. Sampson, of Winslow. is to be state health officer.
 A. R. Lynch, of Graham county, IS being touted for speaker of the house.
 Oscar Irwin, of Maricopa, will prob ably be Ashurst's secretary, and Paul Kruger will likely serve Mark Smith in the same capacity.
 c. M. Zander, of Maricopa will prob ably be Carl Hayden's secretary.
 The fact that all the private secre- taries are from Maricopa, may have a bad effect on legislation at Washing ton.
 Treasurer I. F. Wolpe, of the Dem ocratic central committee, is to be made secretary of the fair commission
 The office of state veterinarian is said to be still in doubt, and wait minute, we're going out and ask Sec retary George Michelsen what he gets.

Yuma, Ariz., Nov. 2, 1911. Hon. Lamar Cobb, Clifton, Ariz.
 Dear Lamar: Speaking of my friends in Greenlee county, I urge you to for give them, for they knew not what they did, thereby emulating the exam pie set some 2,OOO years ago by allNtoo poor informed critics of One greater than even Hayden, of Maricopa.
 Thanks for the lachrymal contribu- tion. I deem 1t appropriate indeed, that our tears shoald be shed in com mon, for there are many evidences that Arizona's Democracy might have been happy with either of us "wefs tothe I dear charmer away"
 And if you have any kick coming at the direct primary, tell your t-oubles to Neil Bailey.
 It is now up to us to do our very best for the whole ticket, and after all while you and I will admit that It could be improved in at least one particular it's pretty good ticket at that. With best wishes for your rapid re covery from the period of depression both mental and financial, which both instinct and my own condition tell Ele you are passing through, am
 Sincerely your friend,
