No Affectation About the Longing for

II you are Of ordinary health ana

as content and comfortable in the
North as anywhere on earth.
II you remember that all Of us who
have spent more than year Giving on

opinion that no food on earth Is better
than caribou meat, and II you have any
experience In your life as hunter any
where, you will realize that in the eve
nings when we sit in these warm snow
houses, feasting with keen appetites on
unlimited quantities Of boiled ribs, We
have all the creature comforts.
What we lack, IL we feel any lack
at all, will be possibly the presence OF
friends far away, or the chance to hear
opera or see the movies. At any rate,
1t is true that today in the movie in

I never In the North longed for clubs
or concerts or orange groves. And this
is not peculiar to me. The men who
have hunted with me are nearly all

the North now, on the way back there
by whaling ship, or eating their hearts
out because they cannot go.-Vilhjal.

REMAINS OF ROMAN SHELTER
Intensely interesting Discovery Said
to Have Been Made In the
North Of England.

A lady member Of the Cumberland
and Westmoreland Antiquarian so
ciety OF England has had the good for
tune to discover what Is believed to be
a Roman bloomery, or ancient smelt-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
to the place by the work of moles,
which recently exposed some Of the
remains, and again later by the burn
ing Of the whins formerly cohcealing
the hearth and other features Of the
bloomery, near Forest How.
BY some exploration with spade.
she traced the foundations Ola large
hearth, twelve yards in diameter, and
a number Of heaps Of cinders, Stag
and ore; and she also turned up spec
linens of Roman tiles, with pottery,
Stag and hematite. The size of the
hearth of the Forest How bloomery
marks 1t as quite different from the
ordinary north-country medieval iron
furnaces, which run from seven to
nine or ten feet in diameter, for the
one just found is twelve yards across.
This appears to be worth further ex-
ploration and probably money for that
purpose will be found.

According to an English newspaper
correspondent who recently reported q
Journey he had made from Paris to
the Polish capital. the most impressive
spectacle that he saw was the mantle
OF blossoms, clustered profusely, which
fringed the highways and byways
about Warsaw. "Al1 the wars Of Po-
land" he writes, "could not check the
new life that came riding through her
borders at the head Of the advancing
spring sprays Of lilac found place In
the gray caps OF Polish lancers, tulips
and chestnut leaves, tokens Of the new
dawn, in the garb Of peer and peasant.
Everywhere was spring yielding back

An oldish man In rusty-brown clothes
and with rusty-brown beard met up
with pin. It was shining sharply
bright on tagging, and he stopped
to pick 1t up.
He had stiff joints and his fingers
were in that state informally known
as bungly. So he had trouble picking
up the pin.
"A young man paused to offer his
services, but the old one refused. He
just grunted and grumbled until at last
victory came his way. Then he
Strengthened up his rickety joints and
put a hand on his back.
I'm not as young as used to be"
he admitted. as genially as his Joints
would allow. ''But you know the old
saying:
See pin and let it lay, you'll
have bad luck all the day. See a pin
and PICK it up and you are sure to have
good luck

And yet he didn't look as lucky as
a man ought to be who had made q

REPUBLICAN ENTERS TH|RT|ETH YEAR IN
 TOP IF CONDITION

The Republican celebrated it's thir- tieth birthday yesterday. It wound up the twenty ninth volume the day be- fore It was a happy birthday, for it was never before in such d prosperous state. The Republican has travelled on only two grades, one steadily down for some eight years and the other steadily up ever since. In the first epoch it was something like a squab, bigger at it's birth than it was des tined to he for some years thereafter. It was started on a scale dispropor- tionate to the town and time and gradually descended to the level oi both, reaching that level in the middle of the year 1896. Then it began to ascend and has been going upward ever since It was about that time that Phoenix began to receive a proper notion of the place of newspaper and when that was understood, the battle of The Republican was won.
 Previous to January, 1898, The Re publican was a six day paper. Then the Sunday edition vas put on. The latter part of that year The RepuhIi- can absorbed the Phoenix Herald and for short time issued it as an even ing edition The town though, was moi AuiAO lt0Qy IVA S11D b and the energies of the management were directed to the getting out of 3 better morning paper.
 The greatest growth of The Repub- lican in circulation, in advertising aEf in the general quality of the paper, has occurred within the last six years. IT that time too, it has acquired and hele the confidence Of the public as few newspapers have succeeded in doing A pleasant relationship has been es- tablished between the paper and ths members of it's subscription list. It. circulation is now considerably largel than that of any other paper between Denver and the Pacific coast to tn, southwest, and it has been secured with probably less effort than the cir. l eulation, of any other newspaper. Ther, 1 is still less effort required to holt subscribers. A subscriber, once { member of The Republican famil, remains a member. As the paper zoe. l to him every day with the argumen
 why he should remain on the list, it i 1 unnecessary to send canvassers around l to annoy him.

SPECIAL MARCH FIR
 VICTORY JOAN BAND

A special march has been composed by T. Dustin Collins for the Victory loan campaign, named the Colonel Conway march and dedicated to the Victory Liberty loan.
 The big massed Liberty loan band. organized and conducted by Director Thorsen for the sole purpose of help ing put Arizona oyer the top in this loan. Ai practicing the new march whenever they get a few minutes rest, and it will probably be played for the first time by the massed band at the fair grounds when the big aerial cir GUS arrives.
 "To T. Dustin Collins director of the Indian school band probably more than to any other one man. should go the credit for the success of the Liber- ty loan band" said Director Thorsen yesterday. Realizing the value of a. big massed band, Collins has thrown himself and his organization into the work with the utmost sincerity, - and the results speak for themselves. Phoenix is due to be agreeably sur prised at the genius of this man when his march is played for the first time l by the big Liberty band
