Havana is under martial law, and the rest of Cuba under very little of any kind. Mr. Bryan is to make a tour of the States, where whatever he says can't damage the democrats mu:h. Before he returned from Europe Mr. Bryan wa3 known as the "Commoner." Now he is regarded as even more so. The looted Hippie bank is to be reorganized. There must be some money in Philadelphia that the crackers didn't get. The bank examiner is a good deal like a stroke of lightning. The worst has already happened when we hear the report. Just as soon a3 congress convenes again we may expect some one to introduce a bill providing for the government inspection of spelling books. Railway companies have worce worries than government ownership questions. They would like to have somebody tell them how they are going to move the crops this fall. This Alphonse and Gaston busi ness between President Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon may be very entertianing to the democrats, but it will soon be getting on the nerves of the republicans who yearn for a seat on somebody's band wag on, t Every time a Hotentot woman remarries she cuts off a fingei joint. If that custom prevailed in this country there are a numbei of prominent women who would now be compelled to wear the wed ding ring suspended by a ribbon from the neck. Anti-joint staters are wearing "66 to 44 nit" buttons. The fig ures represent the respective num ber of delegates whi:h Arizona and New Mexico will be allowed at the proposed constitutional convention, the latter territory of course having the larger number of delegates. It is safe to state that the constitu tional convention will not be held. Did you ever stop to think that when a business man looks for i clerk that he doe3 not hunt for the youth that talks "sassy," use: slang, smokes cigarettes or taps beer kegs? They look for the boy who is neat in appearance, gentle manly in his actions, clean in hit talk and courteous to those whom he meets. Although you may think no one Watches you or knows youi character it is safe to say that there 13 not a busines3 man in town but who knows the character of everj boy in it. If you wish to become a useful man, it is you and you alone that must accomplish it. Uncle Sam's dinner pail is full and overflowing and filling othei people's dinner pails. Exports and imports for the year fell just short of $3,000,000,000, the actual amount being $2,969,000,000. ;;But the ex ports far outran in magnitude the imports, the exces3 of the formei baing $517,000,000. This is a mag nificent trade balance in favor of the United States and excel Is that of any other nation in the world. All parts of the country contributed to the great whole. The sojith sent its' millions' worth of cotton and the west sent its corn arid wheat, while the cast sold vast quantities of manufactured materials or min eral products. COCONINO The apparently useless buttons on the wrists of men's coats had a :uriou3 origin, according to an old tailor. He said that years ago the soldiers were in the habit of wiping their noses on the sleeves of their uniforms. The commander of one corps had buttons put on the front of the wists to prevent this prac tice and the buttons which Gover nor Hoch of Kansas so severely con Jemns are survival of this custom. The two buttons on the back of a frock coat were put there originally so that the tails of the coat might be buttoned out of the, way in walk ing or riding. The button holes were put in the front of the skirt. They have disappeared in the mod ern coat but the buttons remain. From Annual Reports of Arizona Agents. There is a good pumping plant for purposes of irrigation at Colo rado River agency, and last year for the first time the school and the old Indian had alfalfa hay to sell. About 85 per cent of the 503 In dians of Colorado River agency are self supporting. "Fully 75 per cent of the 400 Apache Indians on the White Mountain reservation in Arizona that received cattle two years ago have them yet, and about 40 per :ent have the issue and the in crease," said Supt. C. W. Crouse in his annual report. A 75,000 gallon reservoir on the mountain side 80 feet above the White Mountain school supplies plenty of pure water for domestic purposes and for some irrigation. It is filled by an electric pump, the current being generated by water power. The most and best soft pine timber on the White Mountain res ervation is on the highest land, a belt from five to ten miles wide md one hundred miles long, on the northern and eastern sides. There nre 856 Mohave Indians within a radius of thirty miles of Fort Mohave. The tribe is decreas ing in numbers. , There are 174 Havasupai Indians living in Cataract canyon, a tribu tary to thi Grand Canyon. Out of the population of 2,100 Apache on the San Carlos reserva tion 1,500 are said to be able to use English enough for ordinary purposes, 100 of these being re turned stuclents from non-reservation schools The census of the W a 1 a p a i ihowed 52(1 llndians scattered along the line of uhe Santa Fe railroad 'or several hundred mile and wherever they can find water. The rValapia reservation comprises 730, 380 acres of the most valueless land on earth for agricultural purposes. It is unsurveyed and unallotted. Scarcely a dozen families live on the reservation. On the We3tern Navaho reserva tion child marriages and poligamy ire so common that they cause no comment even from white people who know these Indian3. The Wo men and girls own the sheep. Each zh gets control of her part of the .lock when she marries. The son-in-law live3 with his wifes' people, as the girl's mother does not wish to divide the flock, and as jhe does not wish to support any more son-in-laws than are necessary it frequently happens that the same man marries all the duaghters in one family. The flesh of the Navaho sheep re sembles that of the antelope than rather that of the theep, and if once introduced among epicures it would soon be as much in demand as the famous Navaho blanket.
