An amusing and pathetic story is
told OF Benjamin Constants first pic
ture to attract attention. 1t was called
TOO Late" and represented Fortune
and Glory visiting an artist just as he
had breathed his last. The artist was
lying on the bed. The figure Of Death
stood near the door through which
Fortune, carrying box of money. and
Glory, bearing laurels, had just en-
tered.
The artist received many letters
from those who had seen the painting.
One was written by professor of mu-
SIC, an Old man. who expressed i'm
touching words the emotion he had
felt at the sight Of the artists work.
He asked Constant to visit and talk
10 him about TOO Late"
The invitation was accepted. but as

list he uttered an ejaculation Of sur

PROCRASTINATION.
The Habit of Putting Off Doing the
Serious Things of Life.


Much of the unhappiness and i'm
providence in life is caused by early
habits of procrastination-h con-
tracted unconsciously perhaps when
character is in its formative stage and
at the very time when most attention
should be given TO the unframed ma
ture. IL is SO easy to fall into a happy
gO-lucky way of living. so easy to jog
along unconcernedly, doing the things
which suit us best and perhaps which
count for the least and leaving undone
all the acts and unspoken all the words
and unexpressed all the thoughts and
unused all the advantages which are
really so essential to a better under
standing of ourselves and the wonder
full life being lived about us,
What bright world of promise full
filed this would be if responsibility
could only be made half as attractive
rs some of the minor diversions which
seem TO furnish SO much pleasure TO
their partakers, IL the hard places
could be made soft, the rocky roads
smooth and difficult undertakings easy.
there would he small need for putting
of from day to day the task of fulfill
ing any task whatever. AS it is. with.
the certainty that happiness unaIloyed
is not within the grasp of man and
with the knowledge that sorrow and
trouble must come 1T some time into
each Of our lives. il seems strange
that for all our weak human nature
We cannot learn the lesson that pro-
crastinatiUn teaches and benefit there

hi SAL THERE On LITTLE IRON SEAT
social session Mr.. Homer Byrd wend-
ed his way through the moonlit night
toward the graveyard that surrounded
the church. In his arms he bore great
sheafs OF white lilacs, which he in
tended TO place Oh his wife's grave
Scarcely a day passed that he did not
visit the spot. and Invariably he car
ried some floral Offering.
And so it happened that as he knelt
beside the green mound the harsh
clack Of voices in discussion issued
from the lighted window Of the church
parlor, and as argument waxed heat
edly and the voices rose louder Homer
Byrd was soon made acquainted with
the various opinions which his towns
women held toward him.
He sat there Oh q little iron seat
with his head bowed in the upturued
palms Of his hands. The moon mount
ed toward the zenith. The members
OF the Improvement society noisily
dispersed, and still he sat there in the
silent plot back OF the church think
ing
When lie arose and shook back the
long lock OF gray hair that fell over
his forehead there was q light of res
olution in his thin face, light that
replaced the expression Of dull de-
spair which had characterized his long
period OF grief for Mary Byrd

coward. \ coward will be no longer"

The fence that surrounded the ample
grounds was sagginS from the rotten
posts. and an air of neglect and decay
characterized the whole place.
Within doors. where Homer Byrd Oc-
cupied the south wing, it was bright
and cheerful. but the remainder of
the great house was closely suffered
and given over to mold and darkness
After the funeral Of Mary Byrd the
horses and other stock had been sold.
The great barns closed. the poultry
yards deserted. and the large. prosper
Gus farm lay idle and useless. while
the master shut himself and his grief
away behind closed doors.
That was all until Homer Byrd
heard the opinions expressed by the
Village Improvement society.
The next morning Miss Harriet
Paine declared the news that Homer
Byrd had gone 10 the city. and Upper
Village knew no more of its unworthy
townsman until a fortnight had apsed
and he returned with two sharp look
ing men who spent several days about
the Byrd place. measuring and figur-
ing and talking earnestly together
Then they disappeared. and with one
accord the curious element of the vii
lage fell upon old Rachel Mills. who

sought for knowledge Of the strange
proceedings

GOOD WORD FOR
 NAVAJO COUNTY

The following clipping was taken from the Kansas City Star regarding Mir. C. l. Houck one of Navajo county's prom. nent wool growers:
 C. 1. Houck of Heber, Ariz. IS a representative sheepman ot the great mountain region ot that territory. Mir. Houck has been there a good while, and in that time he has had many ex- periences. He served four years as sheriff of Navajo county, which is about 259 miles in length. For more than 10 years MT. Houck has been engaged in the sheep business. This week he marketed here 1,54O lambs and 72O wethers.
 This talk about a drouth sounds strange to me" Mir. Houck remarked jokingly. "We have had a strange season out Tn the mountains, too, as well as the farmers down here in the corn belt. But our season was just the opposite from this. We had heavy rains up on the tops ofthe mountains, something that very rarely happens, while the valleys are also blossoming like garden. We have an abun- dance of feed everywhere.
 "The lamb crop last spring was large and we still have on hands good many sheep of all kinds. A great many sheepmen have already brought down from the high mountains their focks which IS very unusual. This Is due to the fact that we had so much rain in places in the noun tains that 1t made the grass soft" :"

 The Postal savings banks are only established i'll the larger cities for the benefit of small de posltors who wish the guaran- tee of the United States behind deposits made.
 The selection of Flagstaff was made without solicitation on the part of the people or postmis- tress, but it will be of great ser vice to many people with small ccounts.-Flagstaff Sun.

Very Good Record.

Dispatcher G. N Hathaway, brother of Dr. C. L. Hathaway, well known to Winslow people has the past week resigned his position as dispatcher aud man. ager of the relay office at Ash Fork to take a position as life insurance agent with the New York Life Insurance Co, with branch office at Phoenix.
 Mr. Hathaway has made a very good record for himself in his railroad career. beiug in the employ of the Burlington Route in Iowa and Missouri from July 1, 1896, to Ian. 1, 1901, as agent and operator. During the year 1901 he was traveliny agent for the G. C. & $. F. K. K. with headquarters at Cleburue, Texas, also operator during the latter part of the year ou the D. & R. G. R. R., on the first divis- ion from Denver to Pueblo.
 During the month of Deceu- Der, 1901, Mir. Hathaway cam~ to Winslow aud took q position on this division with the A. [. & $. F. Coast Lines, acting in various capacities as operator, cashier. agent, copy operator aud extra trick dispatcher. Iu March 1907 he left for Mexico, where he accepted ernploym -nt with the Mexican Central at Chihuahua, Mex, i'll various po- sltions such as trick dispa tcher. chief dispatcher, and later, was acting Superintendent of the Northwestern Rv., of the same city.
 Mir. Hathaway is leaving the Santa Fe on account of poor health aud hopes that his insur- ance duties, necessitating out door work, will have a tendency to improve his health greatly. With the record Mr. Hathaway has made for himself as a first class railroad man, we have no doubt but what success Is as- sured him in his new venture as au insurance mau.

TRAINMEN MAY
 TAKE ORDERS

Because of tue closing of some twenty telegraph offices between Albuquerque and Los Angeles the past few weeks, there Is persistent rumor in circulation that hereafter train conductors and engineers will be required to take some of the many train orders they receive over the telephone instead of the old-style method of having them handed out to them written in copper plate style on tissue pa per by telegraphers. The Santa Fe railroad more than a year ago installed telephones ill all stations between Los Angeles and Albuquerque, having pre-. viously installed telephone equip ment between Barstow and San Francisco. While it is said that 1t IS not the intention of the op- eratlng department to have tele phones succeed the telegraph entirely, it is neverth eless under. stood that trainmen may be re- quired to handle their own or ders at certain stations by call ing up the dispatcher on the tele- phone and receiving instructions from him direct. The telegraph offices closed have 6een small and comparatively unlmportant stations and in all cases the tele. graph operators have been transferred to other stations and given positions similar to those vacated.-Albu querque

BAND BOYS OUTING

On account of the fatal mis- hap, the death by heart failure ot ose Sandoval, while in bath ing at Clear Creek last Sunday. the Winslow Bands outing was dispensed with as far as the mn- SIC was concerned. Shortly af- ter the arrival of the Band at the creek one selection was played and immediately after that the fatal mishap occurred.
 The Band left here from Chas. Daze's Livery on a hay-rack and a merry crowd they were, accompanied by a large crowd ot citizens in all sorts of convey ances.
 After the accident the Band and the public spent the after noon navigating up and down the creek in the m otor boat and those who have made the trip praise the beautiful scenery an | the quiet, shady, cool ride, sim. ply immense.

STATEHOOD BILL UP TO
 PRESIDENT

Washington, Aug. S.-The bill granting statehood to New Mex ico and Arizona, legislation that has been urged for many years by
 : .eople of tbose territories, W19 passed by the senate to. night, 53 to IS, after rejection of the Nelson amendmen ent which proposed striking out of the Arizona constitution it's iudicia- ry recall provision.
 The bill as passed by the sen- ate differs only slightly from the house measure and 1t is said may be unsatisfactory to President Taft. He hascontended all along that he would be glad to sign the statehood bill if the Nelson amendment prevailed, but that 1t was a grave question whether he would be willing to sign it If the amendment were defeated, as it was 43 to 26. The indica- tions are tonight that the bill will become a law without his signature. The senate amended the house bill with two minor changes regarding the manner of voting in New Mexico on pro- posed amendments to its consti- tuition. These will undoubtedly be agreed to by the house and the bill will be expedited to the White House. These amend ments were reported by the sen ate committee on territories and agreed to without debate.
 Practically all the debate on the bill centered around the Nel- son amendment. Even some senators who declared their op- position to the recal of judges voted against the amendment on the ground that ii the people of Arizona desired the recall as part of their system of govern ment 1t was for them and not for congress to say whether they sh ould have it.
 The bill as passed, compels Ar izona, as a condition precedent to entry into the union, to sub init the recall proposition to the voters for final decision as to whether 1t shall remain i'll their constitution. New Mexico must vote on the proposition embed jed ill the bill which would make the constitution of the state easier of amendment.
 The test vote came on the Nel- son amendment which was lost.
