Another Optimist.

The optimistic man had been elected from his room by the irate landlady. Out he went into the street, his be- longings sailing after him. The white, binding snow whirled in stinging masses and the wintry wind shrieked and moaned through the trees and wires.
 The optimistic man sat him on his trunk to listen to the complaint of the clements and to consider where he should go. He recalled blistering week of past August. As cutting blast almost whirled him from his seat and blew a hatful of snow down his neck he murmured gratefully: "Wel, there seems to be a good breeze stir ring. anyhow"

self in utter darkness. There was a
 heavy weight against his legs. With a
 strength born of horror and revulsion he freed himself: then hearing no sound and feeling no movement, he fumbled for the candle and with clumsy fingers managed to relight it. Even
 after the flame had leaped out and he saw what shared the pit with him he could barely credit his senses. The na- ture of his deliverance was uncanny, supernatural-it left him dazed. He had beheld death stamped upon Cobo's writhing face even while the fellow braced himself to keep from falling, but what force had effected the phe- nomenon, what unseen hand had strick- en him.

ART VS. BRICKS IN SYDNEY
A Peculiar Controversy in Australia That Is Agitating Labor
 Circles.

Here is curious point of law or WI Bulletin. The musicians union of Sydney charges the Melbourne eight hours procession with something like scabbing because it decided that union ists, even if they don't belong to the musicians organization. may play in its own ranks on the annual gala day.
 There are arguments on both sides. It seems hard that union brieklayer shouldn't be allowed to blow his own cornet in his own demonstration on q holiday, yet if he found a professional cornet-player laying bricks on Good Friday he might object. Of course the man in the procession isn't playing for hire, but then it wouldn't improve things much if the cornet-player laid bricks gratis.
 The bricklayer might argue that there are a certain number of bricks that must be laid, so the cornet- player would be doing another man out of job. while there isn't any fixed amount of music that must be blown, so an amateur might blow a sample or two without depriving any other man of crust. And the brick layer probably says that the cornet- player couldn't lay bricks decently if he tried to which the cornet-player possibly replies that the bricklayer cant make music.
 To some extent 1t Is struggle be- tween art and materalsm. Music properly played is capable of arousing the highest and noblest emotions of which the soul Is capable; brick. even if properly laid isn't. And soul isn't a thing to be lightly despised. But here the tangible bumps against the intangible. Nobody has seen a soul while almost everybody has seen d brick.

One-Man Pontoons.

Building bridges under fire, the greatest ordeal that the army engi neers of other campaigns were sub. jected to, bids fair to go out of fash. ion. In future a regiment going across q stream will, if recent invention meets with approval, merely wade into the stream and drift across, meantime utilizing both hands to manipulate his rife.
 The new invention is sort of glori. fled "water wings" arrangement and Is adapted to the fordlng of deep streams without the necessity of bridge building. The encircling buoy is blown up by the soldier. It holds him upright in the water with his shoulders and arms clear of the sur face.

prehend. It seemed a miracle. indeed, until he looked closer. Then he un- derstood. Cobo lay in a formless, bone less heap; he seemed to be all arms and legs; his face was hidden. but be- tween his shoulders there protruded the crude wooden handle of a home made knife to which loop of cord was tied.
 O'Reilly stared stupidly at the weapon; then he raised his eyes. Peer ing down at him out of the night was another face, an impertinent, beardless, youthful face.
 He uttered Jackets name, and the boy answered with a smile. Bring my knife with you when you come" the latter directed.

RED LIGHTS MUST DIM MARCH 1;
 STATE FIGHTS vENEREAL DISEASE

Troops in Arizona are given the con- pletest possible protection from vene- real diseases, in regulations adopted by the state board of health to take effect March 1
 The entire program of the war de- partment has been adopted, and ade- uuate provision made to put it in force. By this step Arizona takes a place among the foremast states of the union, in providing the safeguards against disease which the war depart ment considers important
 Prostitution, which municipalities were legally allowed to protect under the state law. is henceforth outlawed After March 1 any person harboring q prostitute will run afoul of the state board of health, which has full power to make any regulations it considers necessary to prevent infectious dis cases.
 Houses of ill-fame, in the opinion of the board of health, tend to spread disease. Not only is it made unlawful to operate them, but any official re- fusing to suppress them may also be punished by the board.
 The measures requested by the war department and United States Public Health service were adopted yesterday a a meeting of the board of health attended by Governor Hunt, Attorney General Jones, Superintendent of Pub lie Health Sweek, and Lieutenant Paul popenoe, of the surgeon generals staff, who was sent here from Washington to confer with the state authorities.

Must Aid Army Work

Lieutenant Popenoe stated that so long as prostitution was legally pro- tected in any part of Arizona, it would be impossible for the army effectively to protect itself from disease. By the draft act. houses of ill-fame are pro- hibited within five miles of any mili tary camp, and under this law or in CO., operation with local authorities, Lieutenant Popenoe closed the red light districts of Bisbee, Fort Hua- chuca, Ray, Winkelman, Kelvin, Ajo, Globe and Yuma, in December.
 There are still segregated districts in many mining camps, however, and are constant source of disease, in the belief of the war department The board of health therefore unhesitat- ingly decided to meet the wishes of the army, and prohibit the existence of all such districts.
 The largest red-light districts left in the state are said to be at Jerome and Superior The superintendent of public health wrote to both of these cities last night, warning them to close at once.
 In addition to prohibiting houses of prostitution and forbidding physicians to issue medical certificates to prosti- tutes, the regulations adopted by the board of health contained drastic pro- visions which are expected to be of great value to the civil population as well as to the army.
 Everyone knowing of a case of ve- nereal disease is obliged to report it

This is matter in which tho extension service of the University of Arizona has been vitally interested and. the new ruling should greatly stimulate the production of substi- tutcs peculiarly adaptable to the wheat conservation program in this

to some health officer Physicians may report cases under their own confiden- tlal numbers, ensuring complete se- crecy for their patients. which secrecy will be observed if the patient continues treatment until cured, or at least until rendered non-infectious. In case a pa uent stops treatment too soon, his name will be sent to the state board, which will at once call on the police power of the state to bring him to time
 To Examine Those Arrested
 All persons arrested on charges of prostitution, vagrancy or disorderly conduct are required to undergo a med lcal examination, and if found to be diseased will be treated until they are no longer infectious. This provision, according to Lieutenant Popenoe, is one to which the war department at taches great importance.
 Any diSaSed person who cannot af- ford treatment from a private physi- clan will be treated free of charge by a county or city health officer.
 Physicians are enjoined to find out, whenever possible, where their patients contracted disease, so that the source of infection may be traced and SUD- pressed.
 Physicians are likewise instructed to give their patients information as to how to avoid spreading disease. The state board of health will aid in this educational campaign by distributing pamphlets prepared by the Council of National Defense for this purpose.
 Druggists Must not Prescribe
 Any person who prescribes for ve- nereal disease, or any druggist who sells a patent medicine for this pur- pose, except on a physicians prescrip- tion. renders himself liable to fine or imprisonment This regulation is eX- pected by the war department to be of great value to the army, in prevent ing soldiers from indulginS in self medication whose consequences are frequently very injurious.

 Through the county food adminis- trators bakers have notified that con- ditions in Arizona are not considered justification for an advance in prices. and any cases showing violation of the re-sales within the trade provisions will be investigated.
