Instance Showing Import ance of Securing Votes Instead of Depending Largely Upon Promise of Subscriptions.
NO TIME LIKE
 LIVING PRESENT
Waiting Until Final Lap Will Not Make One a Winner in Republicans Automobile, Gold and Trip Contest.

T have several prospective subscrib- o.s-men and women who have agreed to assist me with good subscriptions during the last few days of the con test I know they will for they are my friends: but they prefer to wait until the last minute that they may first determine whether or not l really have chance"
 This is one of the replies the con testants meet with when asking for votes on subscriptions. And upon this the prospective ballot-and the man ner in which the candidate handles the situation. may depend the victory. One
 prospect landed or lost may decide whether you will be one of the winners in The Republicans Automobile. Gold and Trip Contest.
 The old adage-"a bird in the hand, ' etc. may well he given. with variations. as today's hint to the contestants: \ ballot in the box-a subscription talk er-is worth any number promised for the last lap of the race.
 From instances of the past We learn how to best cope with problems of the present. The following episode--it happened in an outlying district in a European Trip Contest conducted on one of the large papers of the country best illustrates how votes may be lost by accepting promises for future subscriptions:
 one of the leaders in her district Se- cured the promise of a two years sub scription G.0O0 votes) from a relative in neighbnring town He said he would wait until late in the contest to see what chance she really had for winning the trip. The contestant. con fident that the promise of her relative would materialize in the grand finale" the metapLorical home stretch in the race for Europe went home happy. She was one of the many who count their chickens before they're matched"
 Just three days later another con testant. girl who was at the foot of the fist in another district. called upon the formers relative-the prospective subscriber She had been referred to him by one of his business acquain- tances: in fact. by one of his best GUS toners in her district. The merchant explained that his niece hal entered the race in his district and that he had promised to assist her with a sub scriptior for 1000 votes And this was the girls reply:
 Now. you know MT. that your niece is the leader in her district. l believe she is the most popular girl in the dis trict. Everywhere I go I find people who are looking out for her interests. In my opinion no other candidate can

Divide the sub scriptions between Us. Give your niece and me each a subscription for one year"
 In parlance of the street. MT x fell for the spell Surely he thought. his niece would not need 1000 votes. Three thousand would be enough for she would win. anyway. Any by giving this young woman a one year subscrip- ton he might make more solid the friendship or his customer in the ueighboring district

TELEPHONES:
Producers and Consumers.

The Arizona State Federation of Labor. in d resolution adopted at d |. recent session. speaks Of the division of society into two classes. producers and consumers. IL is little diff ficult to see how an arbitrary divis- ion Of this kind can be made. since the most of society belongs to both classes: or, to state it more accurately. all the members of society are con sumers and all members of society who are engaged in useful work are producers.
 No less a parsonage than William J. Bryan. in some of his published writings. has fallen into the same CT TOT. Mir. Bryan speaks of bankers school teachers. and others engaged in similar occupations as belonging to a class that is doing nothing to add to the aggregate wealth of the world
 This is an extremely narrow view and one which is not supported by reason. For certainly it is not neces- sary that man labor on the farm. in the factory. or the mine. to be called a producer. If that view be correct. the railroad man could not he called producer. and assuredly the railroad man would object to that classification.
 ...H. he just. The railroad man takes the product of the field. the mine. and the factory and transports it from one place to another He takes prod ucts from place where they are not wanted and transfers them to a place where they are wanted, and in so doing he adds to their value In that, he is a producer of wealth.
 The school teacher doesn't labor directly with his hands But he pre- pares others to become useful citi- zens He prepares them for the battle of life-fits them to produce wealth and in so doing is just as much a wealth producer as are those who have the benefit of his train- ing
 The banker who supplies the capi- tai that keeps d business going helps produce the wealth created by that business.
 And the man who sits in an office ! and directs the affairs of railroad | system. or of a mine. or q factory, 1 is just as certainly a producer as is | the man who blows the field or who i works at the furnace. And the law yer. who helps direct the affairs of the business man. is a producer And | the same thing is true of the physi- ! elan who helps conserve our bodily | strength.
 We take too narrow a view. What We want to learn is that all useful | work is honorable and it doesn't | matter if it is done with d pen pr it well
 A good many people seem to think | that because an individual spends his | time in an office he doesn't do any 1 real work It would be difficult to | get farther from the truth than that. | Ask some of the men who sweat blood | every two weeks or every month to meet their payrolls.
 The only non-producers we need l worry about are the idle-either the | voluntary ar the involuntary. And a | man has not the right to be idle | simply because he can afford it. IL must be remembered that if a man isn't paying his way. somebody else is. or has pad it already. So far from the world owing man d living every | man owes it to every other man to do his best to make d living for him. self.

| mick came to me with a story that
he got from a butler in Banker Ro-
chot's home. They met In Bill Muir
rays gambling house on Broadway,
and Teddy staked the butler who had
lost his money in the game. The In
formation that Teddy got was that Ro'
chot carried a big bank roll in a safe
in his house, which was In 65th street,
near Madison avenue.
Il thought maybe it was g ghost
story put up by the butler to give Ted
dy an idea that he was secure IN his
loan. But it was worth investigation,
and 1 went to look the ground over
with Reddy Ward and Bill Hendrick.
1.-THE house was a dead easy n to
beat, and I saw from the outside that
the safe was there. I learned that
Rochot was a very heavy dealer In for
eign securities. There was also a bit
of a scandal connected with his meth
DDS of doing business, which gave a
color to the story told by the butler.
I decided to work the game, and fixed
upon a Saturday night for the trick,
which is the night that all honest folk
sleep the soundest. .
1--WE entered the house through the
bathroom and reached the office,
which was in the rear Of the parlor, on
the first floor. In the gang was Ted
dy Mccormick, Reddy Mack, Bill Hend-
rick, Abe Moses and Billy Reilly.
Mack and Reilly were to do the safe
work, Moses was left outside and Nc
Cormick. Hendrick and myself were
down to make a tour through the
house to pick up anything that was
lying around loose. It would not do to
blow the safe, 30 the drag was used
to force out the back Of the strong
box. This took about two hours.
"We got the stuff together, and start
ed to leave the house.
Suddenly, without the slightest
warning we we're met by a shower Of
lead. Everybody jumped for himself.
When we lined up on the outside
Reilly was missing. I concluded that
he had been shot. We hauled a big
Doodle, but a million would not pay
for the loss of Reilly"

Polar Discovery.

One Of the strangest dramas In the
whole story Of exploration has just
been played to a finish, says an ex.
change. In two and a half years both
the north pole and the south pole,
after centuries Of effort and sacrifice,
have been reached.
We all know what is meant by the
poles. There Is no actual pole, moth
ing protr' ling from the earth. The
earth is constantly revolving, and we
say that it revolves upon its axis
that is, an imaginary line running
from north to south through the Gen.
ter Of the earth. The two poles are
the points at the earth's surface
where this imaginary line, or axis, is
supposed to terminate. AS the suns
rays strike the poles at a considerable
angle their heating power is less than
at other parts Of the earth, and SO the
regions round about the poles have
the characteristics Of extreme frigid'
ity.

course through this chzsm foY Upward
of thirty miles before 1t energies into
another valley at State Bridge, three
thousand feet lower than where 1t en-
tered the canon.
The trout fishing Is along the upper
half of the canon, which Is traversed
by a narrow gauge railroad. The low
er half of the canon Is impossible.
Only three men ever made the trip
through 1t. They were government
engineers who were accommodating
for a location for the Gunnison tunnel
to irrigate the Uncompahgre Valley.
Their strong raft was wrecked, their
instruments and clothing were lost
and they we're rescued in an exhaust
ed condition.
Below the canon 80 much alkali and
soil are discharged into the stream
by the irrigating bitches that trout
cannot live in 1t, but suckers flourish
there, often attaining a length Of from
eighteen to twenty inches. During
the latter part Of May the suckers
go up the small tributaries to spawn.
After spawning they return in schools,
tail first, to the river. These small
streams are rocky and swift, and II
the fish did not slacken speed by
swimming against the current they
might be bruised against the rocks.
In the pools where the water was
two or three feet deep the fish were
80 numerous that 1t was nc uncom-
mon occurrence to throw out three
and four fish with each thrust Of the
fork. The fish were weak and slug
gish after spawning and did not make
much effort to get out of the way. The
old woman brought out two washing
tubs, a washboiler and a large dish
pan, all Of which were filed within
half an hour with fish from twelve to
eighteen inches in length, which she
skinned and sailed down for future
use. She lamented that the fish were
"a-gettin' skeercer every year"
"Why, at comm down time three
years ago me and my old man got
nigh onto a wagon load in no time"
she said.
