The Lady and the CattIeman.

Miss Verna Page, the charming and dainty violiniste of The Ernest Gamble Concert Party had an interesting and amusing experience last season in an Arizona town, where the audience was composed largely of miners and cow punchers, many of whom had ridden miles to hear the concert. After the noisy but appreciative and enthusiastic audience had heard the program, a grizzled, booted and spurred cattle-man waited to express his pleasure to Miss Page for her violin playing, which had evidently appealed to him. He said: 'It sure was fine fiddlin', Miss, but after ridin' forty miles across the mesa, was downright disappointed in one thing" Upon Miss Pages en- quiring what his disappointment was, he replied: "I want satisfied com plete because I ain't heard my favorite tune, The Arkansaw Traveller '' whereupon Miss Page rattled off it's jingling strains much to his qualification and as a reward for his long journey.
 The Gamble party consisting of MT. Ernest Gamble, basso, Miss Alice Kuhn, pianiste and accompanist and Miss Verna Page, violiniste, will appear in the Elks Theatre, Thursday night March 18th.

We note that some of the news papers of Arizona are quoting from the Fl Paso Times statement that while the population of New Mexico is rela- lively greater the tax rate is much lower, i. e., 3$ per capita in New Mex ico and IS in Arizona. We'll, this is true. Arizona with about 250, people has over 100000, ,000$ taxable property, while New Mexico with 375,- 900 people has taxable property worth about 175, 900, 0O0$. New Mexico taxes its property relatively as high as is the property taxed in Arizona, and on lands the tax is more than doubled. On the one hundred dollars of taxable property the rate in New Mexico is double that of Arizona, some of the county rates being as high as 6$ on the 100$, while in Arizona none of the county rates run over IS. It is unfair to make a per capita comparison of the expenditures, because Arizona is doing things and must have money with which to make the showing, while New Mexico is stag nant. New Mexico is bragging of the fact that its public schools are costing but POS per capita, while the schools of Arizona are costing eos per capita. Arizona has the schools to brag on and it is this sos per capita expenditure that Arizona may well brag. Arizona has schools to show for this great expendi- ture, it has healthy, uptodate school rooms and well paid teachers, while over in New Mexico the reverse is the case. Teachers there are giving their services for from 45$ to 75$ per month, while in this State teachers, under the same conditions, are getting salaries of from 75$ to 1908 per month. If New Mexico can brag of these conditions they are hard put for bragging sub jects.

Fighting by Wireless.

In what precise manner is wireless
telegrapfy employed in naval war
fare? In the case of a fleet of battle
ships at sea, each ship in the fleet has
its wireless installation adjusted so
that it can send and receive signals
and MESA geS to other squadrons at
sea or in harbor. and to stations
ashore. One ship of that fleet is al
ways in direct touch with the British
Admiralty. whence the latest infor-
nation received at headquarters from
all parts of the world is Immediately
transmitted to the fleet, while each
of the other ships composing the fleet
is similarly responsible for some par
ticular station ashore or for cruiser
squadron or flotilla of torpedo boat
destroyers.
For the purpose of obtaining in
formation as to the whereabouts of
the enemy and guarding against sur
priSeS, wireless biography is, of
course, invaluable. A great number
of cruisers are sent out ahead and
spread many miles across. The duty
of these ships is to keep a thorough
lookout and report to the ship in the
battle fleet looking on. on their par
ticular wave-length. This ship, in
turn, reports by semaphore or Morse
lamp to the admiral of the battle fleet.
The cruisers are sometimes assisted
by torpedoboat destroyers. Now, if
thirty of these ships are used it will
vision is enormous, and it would be
almost impossible for a fleet to pass
unObserved. Immediately any of the
ships sight the enemy's squadron
they would report at once by wireless
stating the number of ships sighted
with their speed, latitude, longitude
etc. The admiral would then give
his orders, also by wireless.
Endeavors to jam" wireless mes
sages have failed entirely, and the
Cabinet, no less than the Admiralty
and war office have kept in unin-
terrupted touch with the entire thea
ter of war. Numbers of misleading
messages have been received with
the obvious intention of deceiving
the responsible officials but these
have been detected and dealt with
accordingly. Thus, while the danger
of interference from Germany with
our wireless system has long been
recognized, the system adopted for
circumventing any such action has
stood successfully the severest test

WHAT is A GENTLEMAN?

to the view of all men and reducible
to formula. But the gentleman is
intangible and ultimately indefinable.
The bore and the snob are revealed
by their words and their deeds, where
as the gentleman can prove himself
only by his spirit. 1t is no wonder
that the multitudinous definitions shot
at this shining mark have failed to
pierce the center, even if one or an
other may now and again have hit the
margin of the target. One of the
more obvious reasons for this diversi-
ty of definition is that the word has
changed its meaning and is likely to
keep on changing it as we advance in
civilization. Once upon time it had
a clear and sharply limited legal con-

commentaries; the great lawyer de-
fined a gentleman as one who bears

The Better Part.

do you ever lose your temper and
say disagreeable things?" 1 heard one
of her admirers ask the lady-who-

as the lady was about to answer, she
broke in upon her and answered for

rather keep on believing you DON'T
1t would help me more to believe in

There is part of us that likes to
find to find that that the people we
admire are only human and like our

No man can afford to ignore what

much good in the world. You are
trying to fill your small niche 20 the
best of your ability, you are trying
to be patient and courageous and kind,
but the niche seems very small, you
wish you might do greater things.
