WON I HAVE ID USE HIS MEAL
 TICKET NOW
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Several days ago the Journal-Mincr published story about the arrest in San Francisco of Frank Silva, former local young man, who is charged by the exemption board of Yavapai county with having failed to show up at the time the second county con- tingent departed for Fort Riley.
 In Sundays issue of the San Fran cisco Chronicle was another account of the young mans difficulties, the article being reproduced herewith:
 Frank Silva, of 260 Kearny street, admitted yesterday to Lieutenant E. E. MacMorland, casual officer at the first camp and now post adjutant, that he ought to be in Prescott, Ariz., to keep an appointment with his local draft board.
 But how do they expect me to get over there without any money:' he asked. He produced lot of tele- grams to show he had made an earn est effort to induce the Prescott board to send his fare or transfer him to local board. Altogether he told a convincing story.
 But the provost sergeant also had a telegram. It was from the Prescott board, and it requested tine arrest of Silva.
 q don't doubt what you say" said the lieutenant, but I think I'll send you to the guardhousc for safekecp- ing until Monday, and then we'll sec if we can thrash out this case"
 Silva said he was absolutely sure Inc wouldn't run away and couldn't sec any sense in going to the guardhouse. Bearing in mind the mans story or his strained financial condition, Lieu tenant Mac Morland pointed out that while he was under guard his room and board would be on the govern ment.
 "Oh. don't send me there on that account" Silva begged. "My room rent is paid two weeks in advance and here's meal ticket I bought ycster' day and haven't had a chance to use |

JOINS ARMY ID ESCAPE CRAVE
 CHARGES
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

By going to Fort Riley with the third contingent of the Yavapai Lib crty boys, Robert Mitchell, the young man who was recently placed in jail in this city on a charge of violating the Mann act, squared his accounts with Uncle Sam, and can now start on his way to the European trenches with a clean slate.
 Young Mitchell was arrested at Je- rome several weeks ago in company with Mrs. Virginia Heed, it being charged by the Federal authorities that the couple had made a trip into California and Nevada some time be- fore and in doing so had gone con- trary to the provisions of the white slave law. Mrs. Heed was also held in jail here as a witness.
 Mitchell was to have gone with the second contingent of the troopers which left September 18th, but as he was at that time in durance vile, he was compelled to remain behind. However, he told the sheriff and the exemption board that he would will ingly go to Camp Funston if he were allowed his liberty, and so arrange ments were made whereby he was allowed to leave with the bunch which departed last Thursday, and the charges which had been placed against him were dismissed. Mrs. Heed has been released.

COMBINATION SURE TO WIN
With Ideas and Industry Ninety Men
Out of Every Hundred Win
Achieve Success.

Some self-conceited philosopher has
said that genius is nothing but an in
finite capacity for untiring application.
1t would seem that this attempt to de-
fine genius would apply more appropri-
ately to talent. 1t is also an obvious.
fact that many people, thoughtful 9TH
erwise, use language loosely. We
would think the remark quoted above
u case in point, observes the Los An
geles Times.
There Is no doubt that talent, to-
make itself effective, requires untiring
effort and unlimited application. Civ
en- talent and application, success is
sure to follow in any mans career.
Many of US are very much inclined to
iiId fault with society and lay all ouI
failure to succeed at it's door. Society
is not a concrete fact. 1t is simpl$ an
abstraction invented to represent hui
manity in the aggregate. Nature has
been very niggardly in her gifts to
many of us, and where this is so no
amount of effort no matter how con-
tinuously it is applied can lead to large
success.
Those who find fault with society as
the cause of their failure are wrong.
Given fair amount Of talent-that is,
brains-and untiring application, and
success will be achieved, ninety-nine
times out Of every hundred. This may
be proved by reference to any walk in
Ife to which human beings apply them,
| selves to reach success.

Deadly Mysterious Disease.

causing syncOpe, has overtaken a gang
of KnowloOn dock Chinese hands who
have been engaged in salving the S. s.
Wisely, which ran aground off
Saigon q couple of months ago.
The work was delayed through the
dread epidemic, which has taken hold
of the workers. The Blue Funnel S.
S. Telamachus brought up from Cape
Barilla n few survivors who were at
once conveyed to a hospital where
their condition has been watched with
much concern by the medical frater-
nifty. So far the disease has not been
diagnosed. The captain of the Blue
Funnel boat said when he called at
Cape Barilla he was informed that
virulent disease had broken out
among the Chinese salvage crew and
seven of them had died. Fifty-eight
were taken on board and hurried with
all dispatch to Hong-Kong.

Realize the Good You Desire

He who knows the spirit of law is
not forced to stand powerIess in an
guish of heart before wasting sick
ness. Strive with all the power within
you (and it is great if you but recog-
nize it) to break down the walls of
belief that any evil cam dominate you.
Cast out the error that stands be-
tween you and the greatest good you
desire AS surely as the sunlight of
day melts into the purple twilight of
evening, so surely do you strike sturdy,
determined blows against the prison
walls of delusiOn and false belief. Not
pain but will vanish when the wise
tongue gives 1t the lie. Not a misfor-
tune but will give place to peace and
Joy when the wise tongue speaks truth
concerning it.-Unity.

CAN'T GET BEAR OUT OF CAGE
Newly Arrived Bruin Presents Prob

How to get Brooklyn's new bear out
OF the cage that he came here in is
one of the probyems that is confront

according to the Eagle of that city
''The cage is So strong that it looks
as if nothing less powerful than dyna-

planned. ''It is made of very heavy
planks, spiked together with shipbuild
ers' spikes. The cage was built by the
same men who made Norwegian sail
ing vessels, the most durable in the
world"
The difficulty of getting Bruin out
Of the box led to a question as tc
how the Norwegians, who sent him
managed to get him in. The only hole
in the cage is barely big enough to let
him get his nose out
81 guess they must have tied his
feet, or wrapped him up in net and
then built the cage around him." one

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseatinq,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-eastor oil, calomel, eathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize wl1at they
do. The childrens revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little ''insides' are
injured by them.

pleased were the natives to see the

The question arose how to transport
