The Fortune Hunter
By WALT MASON

gypsy maiden, strangely wise, with dusky hair and midnight eyes, my future life unveiled she said shed read the lines of fate many another trusting skate, and never yet had failed. She was a maid of savage charms; great brazen rings were on her arms, and she had strings of beads; with trnkets she was loaded down; the noisy colors of her gown recalled no widows weeds. She told me would live to be as rich Andy John D., my dreams would sals near to do my will, yacht sail the blue. And as she told what blessings fine what great rewards and gifts were mine, in low and dulcet tones, her n1mble fingers, ne Ter at rest got closer my check

She touched me for my meager roll, that poor, misguided. heather soul but still her victim smiles; she gave me dreams for half day and took with her to Cathay and the enchanted isles. Her glamor caused forget a little while the strife and sweat, the citys bricks and stones; she took my toilworn soul abroad, and she is welcome to my wad-I still have seven bones

THE APPROACHING END OF THE WORLD

Scientists tell us that life on the earth began about 2,000,000 years It has generally been accepted that life will last for 95,000,000 years
 Ninety-five million years is a fairly long time None of who alive today need worry about what will take place 95 900 years hence Even the most atruistic scarcely be inspired by love for an inconceivably remote posterity
 But the French savants altogether disturbing. Here one, M. Verronet who that the earth will permanently freeze within the next 2,000,00O years and that life will vanish. This is bringing the tragedy home. We would gladly accept the older reckoning.
 Verronet places mankind of today about midway between the beginning and the end He computes that in the future life will exist long it has already existed. He specifics only one-forty-eighth long life those who have studied in the past.
 There is only consolation to be derived from the Verronet reckoning. As far as the influence of today is concerned, 2,O00,000 years is good as 95 OO0O In either event, those who comfortably laboring today cannot expect to be lovingly remem- bered when the cataclysm of ice makes earth bar ren wilderness-Cleveland Plan-Dealer.

The Alamo
By GEORGE FITCH Author of "At Good Old Siwash"

The Alamo once peaceful mission church in San Antonio, Texas. It built of stone and adobe by the Spanish priests centuries ago for the purpose of civilzing the Indians. But in order to keep the said Indians respectful while they were being civilized it built very substantially and in time trouble the priests could lock the large front doors and discuss religion and other things through oopholes in a very destructive and persuasive man. 
 In 1S36 the people of Texas who had gotten even more weary of Mexico than the United States is at present, declared themselves be free and indepen dent. This caused considerable ill-feeng the part of Mexico, and wherever Texan could be found,

Tho Futility of It

What progress has been made with the project to effect fusion of the progressive and repub- lican parties Prescott this week we have not been informed, but of one thing sure and that is the utter futility of such scheme The signs are all against it. The Republican leaders who will be there will, of course all favor it. for it is repub- lican proposition. There may be some progressives who will favor it. but the rank and file of the party are most assuredly against it and will refuse to be turned over to the republican machine like so many chattels. The Republican has conducted a poll of progressives in this vicinity. Of about one hundred strongly declared against any of fusion. From such information gather from other parts of the state the sentiment prevails To the mass of progressives fusion would be more hateful than republcanism.
 Those progressives who were formerly demo- crats, and there are many in this state, would be driven back into the democratic party rather than to support fusion ticket. Those progressives who formerly republicans would recognize any action by the who should attempt bind them at the Prescott meeting. The fusion party would consist only of the fragment of the republican party disclosed in the election of 1912 and a bare handful of progressives. The democratic victory in Arizona next fall would be complete and overwhelming
 It is surprising that republican friends with their reputation for political astuteness could have foreseen such natural and inevitable result of amalgamation before they proposed it.

 Some great men died in the Alamo-Davd Crock ett and Colonel Bowie of them, but the others were equally great. They so great that Mexicans have had nervous chlls at the thought of fighting Texans ever since. and one of the reasons why the United States army promenaded through Mexico City so rapidly in 1S46 because the Mexicans remembered the Alamo.
 This little building still stands in San Antonio, one of the greatest shrines of vaor in existence is greatly honored that various Texas societies quarrel bitterly for the glory of caring for it. and there is some danger that the building itself may not be able to withstand the pulling and hauling.

DO WE LACK SKILLED MECHANICS?

We are nation of the unskilled We are sending cotton to France but import artistic gowns from Paris. We export copper to Germany but inn port surgical instruments from that country We sell material cheap and pay high prices for the finished product
 Why not turning cotton and wool into beautiful gowns at home? Why not featuring surgical instruments? Why are American workmen, American manufacturers and dealers not getting the enormous profits involved in the field of industry which lies between the terial and the finished high grade article
 The answer, according to c. A. Prosser secretary of the National Society for the Promotion of Indus trial Education, lies in the fact that We have no skilled mechanics in this country The United States has neglected the education of its workers Secretary Prosser We have the best institutions in the world to train technical leaders. But give the manual laborer-and there seven millions of him-no thought. The American workingman may be the most intelligent in the world but his intei gence cannot make up for the lack of that skill which comes from trainng.-Chicago Tribune.

late 7:30 o'clock there few people the streets who would be annoyed by sweeping that convenient and seasonabe hour. It is also shown that later in the day, at almost any hour of the day, city employees may be seen engaged on the paved streets raising great deal more dust than would be occasioned by the sweeping of the side walks. It is therefore hoped by many of the mer chants that the period for sidewalk sweeping may be extended at least to 7:30 o'clock.
 In the meantime, in front of some of the places of business, the sidewalks not being swept at all since the ordinance became effective that the ordinance is honored in the breach of it's spirit than in the observance of the letter.

Missed the Point

Our extremely courteous and moderate neghbor 'Dunbar's Weekly sometimes fails grasp the point. It assumes that the refusal of The Repub- ican to participate in movement to effect fusion of the progressive and the republican parties is personal reflection upon the leaders of the repub hcan party, partial list of whom it prints with encomium their sterling qualities. It's high estimate of these gentlemen does not exceed The Republicans good will toward them and it's admi- ration of them. It is glad to number them among it's friends, for all of them good citizens. It would wish that it might work in conjunction with them
 But this is a matter of party and principles and not of men. We believe that they honest and honestly entertain the principles of the repub- lcan party. They could not therefore make such sacrifice of those principles fusion would involve any than The Republican could make a sacri- flee of progressive principles.
 Our neighbor, also irrelevanty and illogically reaches a conclusion that The Republicans obstinate opposition to fusion is in pursuance of a desire to aid Governor Hunt in his campaign for reelection We know of other that would so aid the governor, in the of his renomination, as the proposed progressive-republican fusion The demo- cratic party has gain from such an anal gamation than any other party Democratic news papers Of this state of that, and those which have discussed the matter all unite in con- demnlng The Republicans opposition to it.
 There is certainly nothing in the record of The Republican that would indicate it's political frendi- for the governor It has frankly criticised such acts and policies of his administration as it has be- lieved deserved criticism. Foremost among the gov ernor's policies has been his constant disregard of the law relating to capital punishment and that we have criticised vigorously and often. Yet we have not felt that the governor wholly bad and as an independent newspaper The Republican has not withheld it's praise of those and policies of his administration of which any fair minded citizen might approve We have tried only to give the gov ernor square deal and nothing more.
