Spoiled sarah's Great Scene.

During performance of Hamlet"
In which Sarah Bernhard was imper-
sonating the melancholy Dane, the
graveyard scene was entirely ruined
by the unfortunate appearance on
the stage Of cat, which walked in
from the wings and began to wash
its face. The Divine Sarah, somewhat
disconnected, stamped her foot, and
the cat, taking fright, jumped-into
the open grave, the resting place Of
poor Yorick" Madame withdrew

vary with different localities, the cost
of the latter being governed by the
distance from the source of supply.
While 1t is economy to build WELL
when building, there Is an excellent
reason why every one who contem-
plates putting up new barn should
do 1t now. While prices of materials
are higher than they were few years
ago, so are the prices Of everything a
farmer produces. And there is no
chance that the prices Of materials
will come down until after the prices
of foods come down.
The government is making a cam
paign to promote building. Assisting
in this campaign are the business men
and best citizens in every community.
Buildings are necessary to keep the
country and it's citizens prosperous.
And to be prosperous ourselves, our
neighbors must be prosperous. Any
thing we can do and at the same time
serve ourselves should be done, for In
helping others we are helping our
selves.
Farmers as class are now the
most prosperous people in the coun-
try. They want to continue to be
prosperous, just as every one else
wants them to do. for their prosperity
is the basis Of the well being Of the
country. Building will help continue
that prosperity.

SILVER IS KING IN ARIZONA
Old and New Mines Are Being Opened
After Peace Brought Slump
In Copper.

Silver Is king again In Arizona, says
G. P. Reiniger, president of the As
ISOLATION of Arizona Mining Men, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger's
Phoenix correspondent. With the cop
per market stagnant as result of the
cessation of war requirements, the de-
mands for white metal are pouring In
from all quarters of the globe. Many
OF the producers are replacing their
copper handling equipment with
plants to turn out silver.
'There is big demand for silver
in China and India" says George D.
Bethune of Globe. 1.-THE United States
government is filling it at 81 an ounce,
the same price at which 1t Is supplying
zoe, 1000, 900 ounces Of the metal to the
British government on contract"
Years ago, when Tombstone was at
the height Of its fame, Arizona was a
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year. according to the estimate Of the
United States geological survey. Ari-
zona produced 1892, 100000 worth Of
copper. "Give us "copper"" was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
Of copper, more than a third Of which
was Arizona production, are estimated
to be awaiting sale. So copper Is
down and silver is up.
Surveys Of the state indicate that In
the Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predominates over the other metals |;
in Bisbee. Jerome, Globe and Ajo its
values as by-product run heavily.
From the neighborhood Of Prescott
come reports of the revival Of old sill
yer mines. Battle Flat, scene Of a
sanguinary Indian fight. in the seven
ties, is reported to have yielded new
discoveries Of silver, and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
Of the northern slope Of the Brad
shaws.
