promise which she declares he made.
Crimson is man we'll along in
years, but can pass muster for man

NEW YORK. April 22.-Coming
back to the ordinary routine of bust
ness life, with the beginning of this
week, the stock exchange found itself
confronted with two considerations
pointing in opposite directions. One
was the increasing indication that the
coal strike would be Immediately set
tied, the other was the seeming i'm
minence of a strike of enc iocomo-
tive engineers.
The second Of these considerations
disclosed a somewhat extraordinary
state of things. So far as the evidence
of the day threw any light on it, the
engineers representatives were insist
ing on their ultimatum for an immed-
late strike Wall street seemed to
take refuge in the belief that no gen
eral tie-up was a possibility or per-
haps that some basis for reviewing the
demands, without a strike, would be
found at the eleventh hours. On this
Or some similar basis of inference, the
stock market was quiet and apathetic
throughout the day. Changes in price
were irregular and mostly fractional.

MoLDING OF A CHARACTER
Matter Of tho Greatest Moment to
Which Too Little Thought 10
Directed.

To nothing in life, perhaps. is there
directed so little thought as to the
shaping OF a career-the molding OF a
character Thousands of men and
women around us live their Indifferent
lives. and pass away without doing
anything really worth while, failing to
get out OF life its best and most beau
tiful We need not achieve wonder
ful things or become great personages
high in the esteem of the world; 1t
matters not whether we are king or
peasant. the stamp Of merit Is placed
on those who give their whole-hearted
attention to whatever they undertake.
Whether II be the making or an intri-
cate marvel of workmanship or the ex-
ecution of everyday duties Whatever
is assigned to us should call forth the
best that IS In u.s.
Let us not be afraid to examine our
faults. 1t requires courage. certainly,
to weigh our own defects and look
them bravely in the face; but it is
only by so doing that We may over
come them and cast them aside. Shall
we be content to drift along without
striving to rise above the level of
those who do not care? Our charac-
ter lies in our own hands There is no
one else in the world who can
make or mar it. We may be infu-
enced of course, by good or evil as
sociates, but with ourselves lies the
uniform molding of our career We
are the sculptors, our life is the clay.
We can make 1t an indistinguishable
mass of material or the masterpiece of
Michelangelo. Which shall We
choose?

DETROIT. April 25-Getting the same photograph of the Tigers in two different places is the remarkable feat Ty Cobbs lightning thinking and speed have enabled him to accomplish. It is not fake picture either.
 The Tigers were lined mp in the new ball yard Sunday for a group photo. Standing side by side they made a line negative. so a panorama camera was used. Cobb was fourth from the left end of the line. When Cobb noted the rate at which it vas going, the idea popped into his head that he could beat it.

Man Charged with Giving Away Worthless Lots

 deeds and registry, Nere brought be.
 fore Judge Irwin yesterday. The de
 fendants were represented by Attor. ney $. w Purcell of Tucson, while Clyde Nj. Glandy of the district at torney's office was on hand to conduct the prosecution. William Menhennet, who swore out the warrant for the men, offered at the time of their ar- rest to drop the charges O. the men
 would refund to tteir patrons the fees which they charged them. When the case was called the attorney for the defense asked if that course was still open, and as the parties did not want to put the county to any eX. pense. and as it was the best plan for those who had paid money into the scheme. Lewis was allowed to go upon paying to Judge Irwin all the money that he had collected In that manner
 His method of operation was to have all the people at the show write their names on the admission tickets and he would draw four from them and these would be informed that they were entitled to free lot When they came 10 his hotel to get the deed they were informed that it was nevessary for them tC pay s7.5O for the deed. They were offered a lot adjoining the one they had drawn for the modest sum ot S25, but it IS to the credit of Mesa that only one or two accepted his last offer. Instead oi the stated four tickets Lewis usual ly picked out a half dozen or more. who drew lots at each performance L Somner, who was also connected with the selling of these lots was al- lowed to go. He swore to keep tha straight and narrow hereafter.
