REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which It
Was Almost Impossible for
Him to Lose.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of watch. Other
wise silence and gloom pervaded the
elegantly furnished drawing-room.
In one chair sat a beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed, her eyes star
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with a powerful effort
Of self-control. In another sat a
young man whose face expressed Sc
riousness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely, only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beauti-
full girl, who seemed to be in such
agony.
Five seconds, ten, fifteen. twenty
seconds passed. The position of
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes cleaned with a
wild light; she clasped her hands con-
vulsively. and
81 must speak," burst from her
bloodless lips.
"Twenty-four seconds" said the
young man, as he closed the watch
and put it back into his pocket. You
lose the pair of gloves by exactly six
seconds"
He had bet on a sure thing.

parts of the country, that the state

comprehensive system of road build
Ing and that these highways pass
through or are within convenient dis
tance OF the places where unemploy-
ment is congested."

In his letter.
He declares that certain citizens and
organizations are interested in the
completion Of particular portions of

such individuals or organizations as
to ways and means of providing en-
ployment and administering any re-
lief funds" 1t will seek "to focus
construction upon such places as will
best carry out the purposes of the
donors"

We 60 on letting the men represent us?
They do the very best they can, and
everyone 1 know has a man some
where or other in the family" The
brunette's voice was calm, but firm.
Jack is a Republican and am a
Democrat. How can he represent me,
when he can cast only one voter" she
inquired sternly. For a few minutes
the little blonde sat very silent. Then
she spoke. why, l never thought of
that before. II you have a misrepre-

you do need the vote" Her voice sank

more than has been supposed up to
this time.
The candy export figures from this
country prove 1t. Europe curtailed the
bean supply of the United States when
Austria's exports were stopped. Now
America has retaliated by reducing
the quantity Of candy sent to the old
world.
The first five months of the war
caused decrease Of s153.S23 in the
value Of candy exports from the
United States, as compared with the
same period Of the year before. The
value Of the total exports Of candy
for the calander year was $1,1s5,S94.

GET TO KNOW YOUR GOODS
Method by Which One Man "Made

All Statesmen.

Inquisitiveness is not generally re-
garded as an admirable trait. Yet
when inquisitiveness is properly d.
habits of mind. A story illustrating
this point is told by John ]. Arnold,
vice-president of the First National
bank of Chicago. In a talk to en-
ployees CT the members Of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce he re-
lated the experience Of young man
he had known as boy in a wholesale
house In Chicago. where the latter
started his career as a helper to a
salesman.
He got hold of certain classes of
goods" Mr. Arnold said. THE names
appealed to him. He set to work and
studied the history Of that particular
fabric. He got the name of the fac
tory. He wrote to the factory in Eng
the institution. He studied that in
stitution from one end to the other
and he studied all of the fabrics, all
of the different things that went to
make up that particular piece Of
goods, and in that way he analyzed
every piece of goods that came into
his hands. He was not satisfied mere
ly to take the goods and hand them
out, but he wanted to know what he
was handing out. The result is, to-
day he is one of the most expert buy
ers in this city, in one of the greatest
wholesale houses. Those are the
things that count Get down to a
study of the inside workings Of the
thing that you are handling"

 Attorney George J Stoneman, who is preparing the applications, stated yesterday that the task of copying the claims had been about half completed and that the case might not reach the superior court before Wednesday.
 Unless there is an early decision in the case all state road work save that which is being done by convict labor will shortly be at a standstill The state has a large number of men at work in various sections. and all these will have to be dropped until there are sufficient funds available to carry on the work In Coconino county the payroll amounts to approximately S6000 per month, but as the payment of all the claims has been suspended, it is not considered likely that the work con be continued much longer. Work on the north approach to the state highway bridge at Florence, which was washed out repeatedly last winter, was postponed until July l, when funds would be available for the work, but owing to the muddle over the appropriation, this will also be suspended until the money is forth. coming.

SENIOR LEAGUES IN NECK TO NECK FIGHT
 FOR FIRST HONORS
All the Teams Are Closely Bunch ed and Philles Are Hard Press ed to Keep in Front of Their Rivals.

NEW YORK. July 21.-Two notable battles for first place are in progress in the two major leagues. in each of which a Chicago team figures. As it chances, the rivals for the lead are in both cases just now matched against each other and every game won or lost figures appreciably in the relative positions of the clubs engaged in the struggle
 As the week closes, the advantage lay with Philadelphia in the National league which led the Chicago rivals by three points, while in the Ameri- can league the White Sox retained the top position they have so long held.
 The struggle in the senior organi- zation Is, as a whole, more interest ing, as most of the clubs are within striking distance of the top Boston, in next to last place is les than 100 points behind the Phillies. Brooklyn is but 12 percentage units to the rear of the Cubs, while st. Louis, Pitts burg and New York are closely bunch ed, a short distance away from the first three.
 In the American league the initial clash between Chicago and Boston for tn leadership resulted in a draw, the White Sox retaining their grip on the lead through the winning form displayed by Russell in the second game of Saturdays double-header
 The two clubs kept neck and neck throughout the week, each winning and losing the same number of games Their fight is a pretty one, but Detroit is close behind and menacing both.
 The remainder of the American . league clubs are cutting little figure Washington made the best showing of any of them, redeeming past mis deeds by winning seven games out oi the high total of eleven played.
 The Federal league race was mark ed during the week by the rise oi Chicago to first position. St. Louis which had led for some time. dropped to third place. The relative positions of the other clubs were unchanged.
