essence of university education that
they should be men. writes George

Character is what you are. Repu-

Sometimes they are So well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9th

Is libel on the other. Folks exalf
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who ie-
ports you. Friends are always chari-
table and interpret our lives to best ad-
vantage. Enemies can see no good in
US and report as they see So repu-
tation may ffatter or condemn. Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. II is the
life itself rs lived amidst its mott YES
and obstacles Few people can know
IFS real value. for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are In
the face Of severe testing is character.

Advice to a Young Man.

Give up money. give up fame. give
I'D science. give up the earth itself and
all IT contains. rather than do an i'm
moral act. And never suppose that
in any possible situation. or under any
circumstances. IL Is best for you TO
do dishonorable thing. however
slightly so 1t may appear to you.
Whenever you are to do thing. though
II can never'be known but to your
self. ask yourself how you would act
were all the world looking at you, and
act accordingly. Encourage all your
virtuous dispositions. and exercise
them whenever an opportunity arises !;
being assured that they will gain
strength by exercise. as limb Of the
body does, and that exercise will make
them habitual.-Thomas Jefferson.

County Seat Removal

The Tombstone Prospector says:
After interrogating numerous wit

effort to ascertain the legality of
the county seat removal petition.
Just before noon Wednesday the
Board of Supervisors unanimously
went on record that the petition
was a fraud and a number of g1ar-
ing irregularities were disclosed. The
evidence produced at the hearing
the evidence produced at the hear
ing proved conclusively to board
that someone connected with the
handling of the petitions in Doug
las entered into gross irregularities
in order to have the election called.
The Board convened promptly
at nine "Wednesday morning and
commenced interrogating witnesses
summoned yesterday from Bisbee,
using until noon for that purpose,
when Supervisor Sparks addressed
the Board saying that he was con-
vinced, without going farther into
the matter, that with the duplicate
signatures, defective petitions, for
ged names and othef irregularities
that the petition failed for lack Of
legal signatures and moved that it
be rejected, which received the u
unanimous consent of the Board.

Deputy Sheriff Percy Bowden
left Phoenix Thursday morning at
I A. M. On bet that he would be
in Tombstone at 1G o'clock that
night. He passed through Benson
at S P. M. but had tire trouble
near St. David and stopped at A. J.
Busby's where he vulcanized a few
tubes, had dinner and left for
Tombstone at 8 o clock. We have
no doubt that Percy won his bet
with time to spare. He was driv-
ing the car stolen from Noel c.
Johnson the Chauffeur who was
murdered by John Wellington last
week near Douglas.
