DON'T CARRY A BURDEN IF YOU
 CAN SET IT DOWN.

Following is an extract from little article in the current issue of Farm and Fireside:
 An aged, weary looking woman with d heavy basket upon her arm, entered the train at one of the way stations. Carrying her burden with some difficulty down the aisle, she found an empty seat of which she took possession. Instead of placing her burden upon the floor or upon the seat beside her, she continued to hold it, shifting its weight now and then from one knee to the other A work ing man sscross the aisle watched her for some time in silence, but at last when he could stand it no longer he reached over and touched the woman upon the arm. Madam he said, if you will set your basket down, the train will carry both it and you
 How much of human nature there is in this little incident! Some pe0- pie never try to ease the burden which circumstance has decreed shall be theirs. They insist on carrying it even when they might temporarily lay it down and ease their breaking backs"

WHY LOOSE SHOES MAKE YOUR
 FEET HURT

In an article on sensible shoes in the May Womans Home Companion, the author says:
 Seven persons out of ten suffer eXcruciating pain, at one time or an other with their feet. A single corn, no larger than grain of sand. can take all the snap and vitality right out of you.
 Two thirds of modern foot trou- bles are due to the fact that almost everyone-man. woman and child wears his shoe too loose. The shoe itself may be correct as to size and shape. but it is not fastened tight at the only point of control, namely, the instep.
 When you set your foot upon the floor or pavement in the act of walking, the shoe adheres and. if it be loosely fastened over the instep. the foot pushes down into the toe of the shoe At certain spots on the foot this slipping causes friction. These spots are the soles of the feet: the tops, ends and inner sides of the toes; the great and little toe joints, and occasionally even the back of the heel.
 When the friction thus caused is continued hour after hour and day after day, one or more of these spots are almost sure to become in famed and sore. A slight thicken- ing called a 'callous' is formed. As the friction and pressure go on, the resulting callous may thicken up un- evenly; then it is called corn

SUNDAYS AT THE CAPITAL.

The substitution of the Continental
 Sunday for the Puritan Sabbath has
 not been accomplished without much
 criticism and a good deal of protest.
 There are many old-fashioned per
 sons who hear of Sunday going-On
 as too awful to contemplate and as
 proof that the republic is going to
 destruction. They bcmoan the pass
 ing of the simple days when Wash

 were out and all respectable people
 were in. It is the new rich, they
 say. who have worked all the mis- chief the people who have built great houses and brought with them rctinues of servants and transformed
 Washington from q village into q capital. It is the new rich who are always blamed for everything and
 who are never given any praise, al though it is tO be presumed that III

 have brought about the change, but
 it is only in the last decade or so
 that Washington can be said to have
 becomc'a capital in the broader sense.
 The social soil, still in a virgin state
 waiting for the seed of letters and
 art, has become, nevertheless. the soil of a recognized capital. Washington is as yet too much d political center to be a capital as the term Is used in Europe, where not only politics focus. but also literature art and science; it resembles rather, on a greatly magnified scale. state capital where position is due to the accident of election. Washington has not vet reached the calm serenity that is the charm of an old-World capital

 toward him in a rig. Directly they

 "Tis!" cried the old woman. '"Tisna, I tell thee!" shouted the old man, yet jobbed his reins and
 drove apace.
 "'Tis!" screamed the old woman, and scrambling from the cart, bundled down the road screaming: "Gyp. Gyp!"

IS THE CANAL A FOREIGN
 CONCERN?

Are we building the Panama canal for the benefit of the United States or for the express development ot the commerce of foreign nations:
 Surely the people of the Chlteo States all along have been of the nm pression that when the canal should be opened we would be sending Amer ican steamships through 1t seeking trade with the west coast of South America. China Japan and Australia
 But if the house committee on ln- t4rstatc commerce is to be allowed 10 have it's way not an American steam : shin will be constructed for such service.
 The United States is doing consld- erable business with the east coast of south America now, but this busl- ness is conducted by foreign steam ships almost exclusively.
 Whvq Because a vessel sailing from New York or Philadelphia under q foreign flag can be operated much choaDer than if the same ship were flying the Stars and Stripes. Wages are less food costs less because a cheaper quality of foreign lncs-loW wages. cheap food
 Because this is so, there are few American vessels engaged Tn forelgfl trade They cannot compete against subsidized foreign lines. So 1orelgl ships steam from the Atlantic ports of the United States to South Amer ican ports and carry our freight.
 We are about to open up the Pan anna canal which will give all ot our Atlantic ports q direct route b the west coast of South America ana shorter one to the Far East. But can we expect American vessels 10 De built to take advantage of the an- ticipated increased trade. If they can oo+ ho run to the east coast of South America. why should they be able to run to the west coast, or to China or Japan?
 They cannot unless there shall be discrimination.
 If congress would grant free pas sage of the canal to American yes sells we should find the ShlpyaroS nrenarine for the construction Of Am arican ships. but.if an American Ves- snl k to be charged precisely what a foreign ship is made to pay, in what manner is the existing cohol'ioiii changed. and how can we look Tor the building up of an American mer- chant marine?
 This question has got to be 1ousll ! out on the floor of congress ana u may be stated in this way small we maintain the canal for the enr1ch- | ment of foreign steamship lines al l our expense? Or shall we encourage the development of steamship lines ol our own?

P alatial Special Train Leaves Phoenix at Mid night Filled With Shrin- CTS and Shrinerettes; Pa rade and Entertainment

Promptly at the stroke of mid night the Shrincrs special train gave a premonitory Wiggle. and an in stant later the magnificent line of coaches moved away from the Santa Fe station carrying more than a hundred Shrincrs and their wives all bound for a week of gay festivity in Los Angeles where the annual na- tional convention is being held.
 The train was composed of one en- zine under the experienced guidance of Elmer Landon. d Shrincr him self,, a baggage car; the finest tour ist car ever seen in Phoenix. cleo tric lighted and as comfortable as most standard cars. This car is for the use of the band which accom- plnies the party and which will make the Welkin ring when Los Angeles is reached. and cause Spring street and Broadway to resound to the melody of the brassies.
 Back of this car was a COmbina ton cafe-Obscrvation car, then five Pullmans, beautifully finished, elec- tric lighted. with electric fans, with drawing rooms and compartments furnished as palatially as a hotel suite. At the end was an observa- tiOn car sent to Phoenix fresh from the shops; it's mahogany sides glist- ening under a myriad of soft lights, and it's equipment selected on the same luxurious scale.
 The train is the result of the ef- forts of Travelling Passenger and Freight Agent A. A. Betts who has worked hard and unceasingly for the success of the excursion, and before leaving last night he said that he was confident that no finer train had ever left Phoenix and no better people would mingle with the throngs in the coast metropolis dur ing the week.
 Preceding the departure of the train was big doings at the Temple. where a large class of novices were fnducted into the mysteries of the order The women of the party. of whom there are many. were enter tained by a theater party at the Empress theater and later at lunch con at the Ford hotel.
 At 11:3O a parade was formed and headed by the band paraded the business streets before marching to the station to take possession of the train which will be their home until about three o'clock this afternoon when Los Angeles will be reached
 Most of the excursionists will re- turn after the week conclave. is oVer' but number will remain on the coast for a longer period.
 The train is in charge of Shrlner Frank Woods: conductor.
