BUMPS ON THE SHOES.
That's Because Our Footwear IL Not
Polished Properly.


That's Because Our Footwear IL Not
Polished Properly.
do you know why it Is that Ameri-
can mems feet always look ugly9''
said bootmaker. ssNo7 Well, then,
IN tell you.
American mems feet look ugly be-
cause they have their shoes polished
while wearing them, an iniquitous
practice that Is followed nowhere else
In the world.
Everywhere else men on retiring
slip trees into their shoes ana set the
shoes outside their bedroom doors. A
servant takes them and polishes them,
and after the dampness OF their polish
ing they rest for some hours In the
trees. and this does to them what q
hot iron does to a suit Of clOthes--it
presses them. so to speak. taking out
all the ugly bumps and wrinkles, max
ing them like new.
but we Americans drop into an
armchair on a high brass stand. Our
shoes are polished on our feet. The
ugly lines Of wear. instead OF being
removed or brushed out by the process,
are confirmed. rubbed In. And that Is
why our feet always look ugly-as
ugly as our clothes would look If we
never sent them to the tailor to be
pressed * Cincinnati Enquirer.

Never Settled QUESTION:.

The familiar saying that nothing Is
settled until it is settled right en-
presses only a half truth. Questions
of general and permanent Importance
are seldom finally settled. A very
wise man has said that short of the
multiplication table there is no truth
and no fact which must not be proved
over again If 1t had never been prov
ed. from time to time" Conceptions
of social rights and obligations and the
institutions based upon them continue
unquestioned for long periods as postu-
lates>tn all discussions upon questions
of government. Whatever conduct con-
forms to them is assumed to be right.
Whatever is at variance with them is
assumed to be wrong. Then time
comes when with apparent suddenness
the ground Of discussion shifts and the
postulates are denied. They cease to
be accepted without proof, and the
whole controversy In which they were
originally established is fought over
again. Senator Root In North Amer

MAGIC IN Al BATON.


The Music Was Different When Wau-

How Wagner astonished an audience
IN Berlin Is related by Otto Lessmann
In a German magazine. It was In 1871.
He had lectured at the Royal academy
on the opera. and In his honor the
verein der Berlinar Musiker arranged
ia performance Of bis Faust Over

Julius Sturm.
When It was over Wagner seemed to

Profitable Roses.

Roses, though generally admired as
the most beautiful flower, are not uni
versally recognized as the profitable
article Of commerce that they really
are Trade roses are grown in vari-
GUS parts of Europe. but chiefly at
Grasse. in France. and Kasanlik, in
Bulgaria, where great stretches Of rose
gardens provide the chief supply of
roses for the markets of the world.
The highly cultivated roses are useless
for commercial purposes, and both at
Grasse and Kasanlik it is the cabbage
rose that Is chiefly grown-'the rose
of hundred petals. as they call it in
southern France The Grasse roses
are used chiefly for pomades, soaps,
rose water, and such commodities, and
the demand made by the manufacture
ers of such on the rose growers Of
Grasse can be partly gagged from the
fact that more than 100000 pounds
OF roses are annually gathered in the
district. Essence. or, as it is called,
altar Of roses. is rarely made in
France, on account of the expense Of
production. but nearly all the Bull
garian roses are used for this purpose.

A Laureate on Lytton.

When Bulwer Lytton attacked
Tennyson for accepting civil list
pension. Tennyson retaliated with a
ten stanza poem in Punch which has
not been included in any collected edi-
ton of his works. He described his
antagonist as:
That padded man-that wears the stays
Who killed the girls and thrilled the boys
With dandy pathos when you wrote.
What profits now to understand
The merits OF spotless shirt,
"A dapper boot little hand.
II half the little soul Is dirt?
Tennyson felt ashamed OF this out
bust when he saw it in print. Punch
OF the following week contained his
"After Thought" which ends:
Surely. after all,

Is kindly silence when they brawl.

William 4. Marbury. who entered the

that the mine has been filled

Mormon Temple
Begun in Canada

Cardston, the Mormon center
for Canada, is in a state of great
furry over the turning of the
first sod for the temple to be
erected for Canadian Mormons.
The church has already construct
ed six temples, but these are in
the United States. Only four of
them are now standing. The
Canadian temple, it is said, will,
when completed, rival that of
Salt Lake City. 1t is to be con-
structed of marble from the
foundation walls to the top and
money will be supplied from the
home base at Salt Lake City.
1t was announced that all the
work. possible would be donation
work and the members were ask
ed to come at once with teams
and scrapers. E. j. Wood, pres
ident of the Canadian church,
has charge Of the ceremony. j..
Anderson, one of the first settlers
in Cardston, in a feeble voice,
offered the opening prayer and
said that the Canadian edifice
was being built in fulfllment of
the prophecy made twenty-six
years ago. The Mormon people
were referred to by the leaders
as having the only knowledge of
true religion and were the only
people using temples for the re-
demption of the dead.
One of the features of the SER
vice was the entire Mormon
gathering shouting amid the
waving of handkerchiefs and
ribbons, God bless our Domin-
ion, God bless our friends, God
bless our temple building, God
bless all Iarael, Hosanna to God
and the Lord, amen and amen. )"
A breaking plow was then put
into the soil and a furrow made
around the line of the foundation.
Schools were closed and sew

Mexican War Costs
MOrmOnS Ten Millions

Revolution in Mexico has cost
Mormon colonists from the Unit
ed States more than $40, 600, 900.
This was the statement credited
to President Joseph Smith Of the
Mormon church, who was in Los
Angeles last week, on his return
from a visit to the refugees in
Arizona and southern California
The church head also said he
favored a plan for the exiled col
onists to settle where they now
are instead of returning to Mex
leo, when conditions permit.
"The flower of our colonies
was in Mexico" said President
Smith. "Our people had labored
there for quarter of a century
and achieved wonderful results.
They were forced to give up
whole towns and cities their
houses and churches, all to the
value of more than $40, 900, 900. /
Il am issuing a special mes
sage to the unhappy exiles from
Mexico" he continued. 1T is
this: Look not with longing
hearts upon Mexico, but build
new homes and new churches
where you are. ;"

Postmaster General Burleson
appears to be determined to make
the parcel post service of his de-
partment of value to farmers.
The increase in the Weighty limit
on packages to so pounds in 15O-
mile zones and 0pounds in other
zones should, as believed, go far
toward enabling the farmer to
derive more profit from the par
eel post. In addition to increas-
ing the limit on weights, the post
office department is also issuing
minute instructions regarding
the use of new service. Farmers
ought to make every effort poss-
ible to make profits from the par
eel post. Uncle Sam has instruct
ed his employees in the bureau of
animal industry to experiment on
patent containers far eggs with
hope of finding one through
which eggs may be sent by mail
safely. The new so and 20-pound
limits should be a help in this dl-
rectiOn.

mask to young girls faith, and
to married women hope, and to
an old maid charity; to the old

RanCherS' Trust Co.'s
Affairs Are Adjusted

After a lengthy conference in
Flagstaff this week between the
organizer of the Ranchers Trust
Co., his attorneys and counsel
representing numerous purchers
of stock in the company, which
was recently organized in North
ern Arizona, a compromise agree
ment was entered into, whereby
the Trust CO. is to pay to the sub
scribers for stock the amount of
all notes given. in payment for
such stock subscriptions, less
twelve and one-half per cent. 1t
was stipulated between the part
les that the case now pending in
the Superior Court of Coconino
county, against the Trust Co.,
brought by various purchasers
of stock, be dismissed and the
Receiver, j. Frank Mathews, be
discharged by order of the Court.
This agreement to apply to such
purchasers of stock who joined
in the suit against the Trust Co.
Several parties who gave notes
in payment of stock failed to join
in the suit and of course the COM
promise settlement is not effect
i've as to them; although as inter-
venors they still have the right
to continue the receivership and
commence another action against
the Trust Co., if they see fit, or
they may still come in and accept
the same terms of compromise as
agreed to by the parties plaintiff
to the suit against the company.
Many prominent and represent
ative business and stock men in
this and adjoining counties sub
scribed literally to the stock of
the Ranchers Trust Co. They
were offered by agents of the
Trust Co. large returns on their
investment in a comparatively
short time, but the plan was i'm
practicable for any trust company
to carry out. The purchasers of
stock finally awoke to the fact
that they had been taken in by
smooth stock statesmen and sought
relief by started suit against the
compony, with the result as above
recited.
The following attorneys were
present acting for the stocKhold-
ers: T. G. Norris, E. S. Clark,
Prescott; Chas.. Herndon, K.ng-
man; VIM. Seaberry, Phoenix;
J. E. Crosby, Holbrook; Attorney
Green, Phoenix; C. B. Wilson
acting as attorney for Matkins,
who organized the company.

Negotiations were concluded
last week between the Northern
Arizona Fair Association, and
John w. Dougherty for the pur-
chase Of the forty-acre tract of
the latter, more familiarlv known
as the old race track, to the west
of Prescott, mile distant, the
price paid being $500. Coinci-
dent with this deal being closed
on the Recommendation of Pres.
r. N. Fredricks, of the associa-
ton, it was deemed expedient to
take an option on the remaining
forty acres, and it is probable
this sale will be consummated
later. Frank C. Wisman, chair
man of the committee, having
this important matter in charge,
ratified the deal, which had been
under consideration for several
days.
