It ft is' $ W it •'& ^r I' I i' fe 7 St**? ik fe w^t, ft MMilr Bceomlu Mlffhtte* Tfc»n the Pea.' Men wtib ttear nothing else shrink from a joke npon themselves. Soldiers who do not flinch before opposing guns dread to be made ridiculous. Woe to the national hero who makes one tri fling mistake which may subject him to clever caricature! His meritorious career is henceforth shadowed by one colored illustration. A comic paper will tip the scales of justice, snatch the vic tor's prize from his extended palm and rob the orator of choicest laurels. A brilliant satire will mar the fortunes of the greatest statesman, a laugli will turn the tide of a political convention. Indeed the foke is fast becoming mightier than the pen. The orator has learned its value, and even the clergy man resorts to it when lie desires to stir the flagging interest ol' Liis tlock. It furnishes sufficient excuse for the impertinence of children, and in its name the daily papers deride the high est national dignitaries. What is the meaning of its steady growth in power and what results may we predict from its humorous tyranny? Is there a chance that our keen relish for fun may finally produce a kind of humorous dyspepsia resulting from overindulgence, unless with epicurean discrimination we demand quality, not quantity, and stubbornly refuse to swallow other than that which should appease a wholesome, nay cultivated appetite in jokes?—Caroline Ticknor in Atlantic. Trtllea aa Irritants. We are so constituted that what is occurring at the moment interests us often out of all proportion to its im portance. For example, we are thrown off our balance by the merest trifles perhaps which, occur today, but which in a week's time may have no signifi cance whatever. Obstacles which seem like mountains when we meet them dwindle away to molehills when we get away from them. Even what seems tragedy at the mo ment in the future may be the most innocent "comedy. Most of us are so constituted that we will make almost any sacrifice for pres ent peace. It would seem easier to have an arm or a leg amputated two years hence than to lose a finger today! It is human nature to shrink from pain, and we purchase release at almost any cost. If we could only train the mind to look at today's trouble and annoyance from the standpoint of the future, it would be much easier to bear.—Success. Locked In With a Maniac. The writer was once closeted with a patient whom he had no suspicion of being mad until the latter got out of bed, turned the key of the door and preferred a mild request to the writer to have his throat cut, handing him at the same time an open pocketknife, which he produced from underneath his pillow. I objected to the knife aa being too small for the purpose and begged to be allowed to go for my case of amputating knives, with which, I explained, the operation could be per formed with greater neatness and dis patch. He unlocked the door at once, binding me over to secrecy and urging me to lose no time in returning. I drove home, reported the case to the authori ties and came back with assistance. He was secured with great difficulty and sent to the asylum.—London Tit Bits. Harmony In the Leaves of a Tree, One of the remarkable characteris tics of a tree is the process of leafage, and if we examine the bough upon which the leaves grow the admiration of the scientific agriculturist will be come thoroughly aroused over the per fect consistency and artistic skill mani fested in the arrangement of each spray and the exact number of leaves arranged with the most exquisite art and regularity. Every group of leaves forms merely long lines—some short and each one different—no two alike, no two in the same position, yet all so perfect and harmoniously blended that there can be no antagonism, no same ness and all those thousands and thou sands of strange and delicate forms grouped together, neither confused nor 111 arranged. Famonx Portrait Painter's Opinion. The famous artist Von Lenbach had one great dominant principle—that out of nature one should grasp, and hold fast but one thing in portraiture, the head that this exponent of the soul must stand out in undisturbed unity that accessories of whatever kind, whether dress or form, must distract and weaken the impression that the head should produce that a portrait to attain its highest aim and signifi cance must look out from a background of nothingness and must be shorn of every detail that interferes with this Unity of purpose.—Cosmopolitan. a a O a *r "An' how did you fare at the house the hill?" inquired Wandering Wil .4- lie of Meandering Milce. 1$?^ "Fine," replied the meanderer.

A Larire Order. The proprietor of a certain restau rant had "leased" the reverse side of his hill of fare to a carriage manufac turer who prints advertisements there on. The other day a customer in a great hurry ran into the restaurant, sat ui a table and was banded a bill wrong side up by the flurried waiter.

Why should one settle in California? What are the advantages? 1—Climate. It is kindly it helps and does not hinder. It fosters growth and never mars or destroys by storm. Frosts are rarely hurtful. Winter is full of plant building sunshine. Two crops a year are possible on the same soil. Every day may be a day of productive labor. You do not eat up in winter what you grow in summer. 2—You produce more per acre and of greater variety. Everything that grows in the Middle West and also in Florida, all that New England yields and also Sail that grows in Spain and in the south of France. This is a great gain. 3—Markets are good. The country is new. It is developing. Towns are grow ing, population increasing, markets ex panding and investments appreciating in value. The Orient is buying our wheat and flour, our canned goods and con densed milk. Much of our cheaper pro duce will soon go to feed the millions of China and Japan. 4—Lands are cheap. They are ready for the plow, and because there is not enough of California to go around, they will shortly double in price. 5—Rates are low, only 825 via South ern Pacific to California points irom Sioux City or Omaha. This obtains un til June 15th. It is a good time to "look around." For books about California write to Pass. Dept. Southern Pacific, San Fran cisco Cal. 11 16 Grand OF ARIZONA.
