GEN. HARRISON GRAY OTIS.
General Otis, whose full name
heads thisart cle, is the proprietor and
editor of the Los Angeles Times, one
of the foremost daily and weekly news
papers on the Pacific coast, if not ot
the United States. General Otis has
proven his executive ability, as also
his undoubted generalship, in the suc
cessful management of the Times and
his complete triumph over unscrupu
lous organizations and blatherskite
“unions.” General Otis participated
in all of the recent battles about Ma
nila, at the head of his brigade com
posed of the 20th Inf., Kansas volun
teers, the Ist Inf., Montana volunteers,
the 10th Inf., Pennsylvania volun
teers, and the 3rd U. S. artillery. It
is simply a reiteration to repeat the
statement that his brigade was in the
very thickest of the fight and that the
reputation of Old Glory was in the
safest of hands. The Kansas boys
are spendid lighters and under the eye
of that greatest general, U. S. Grant,
were the very first troops to plant the
Stars and Stripes on the summit of
Missionary Ridge, Nov. 52ht, Eighteen
hundred and sixty-three. Their ex
ploits around Manila prove the Kan
sas boys of ’9B to be the equals of those
of ’63. and General Harrison Gray
Otis is undoubtedly proud of his
“fighting brigade.”
In commendation of General Harri
son G. Otis as a soldier and citizen,
the Chicago Evening Post, under the
caption “Honors to a Newspaper Man,”
editorially says: “The man in com
mand of the brigade that bore the
brunt of the fighting at Manila, so far
as any one brigade could in such a
general engagement, is a newspaper
man who laid aside the pen to take up
the sword at the beginning of the war.
And in the public mind he has unques
tionably failed to get all the credit
that is his due, owing to the fact that
he bears the same name as the com
manding General, and is often con
fused with him. Reference to detailed
accounts of the fighting at Manila will
show that every regiment of his bri
gade were in the thick of the fight,
and that all bore themselves courage
ously from their commanding officer
down. Brigadier-General Harrison
Gray Otis has been known as some
thing of a fighter in a newspaper way,
and has now proved that it is imma
terial with him whether he wields pen
or sword. He is a patriot with either
and a master of both.”
The Flagstaff Gem is one of the
neatest, newsiest, and best weekly
newspapers printed in northern Arizo
na. Its present make-up is a decided
improvement over the antiquated
“blanket sheet.”
OTHER “FOOTPRINTS”.
“Footprints of block 41 are diffi
cult to erase. Were a certain man in
Phenix to go down the street with a
placard there is nothing the matter with
me cm his back, the public would not be
lieve it even if all were blind, their ol
factory organs would give the lie to the
pl ay card so conspicuously displayed.' I ' —
Phenix Exchange.
The italics are ours and the public
can make their own “application;” but,
Mr. Kipling would say, “that is an
other(b. 41) story.” The aforesaid Ex
further says, “one of the Prescott ex
changes advertises ‘a well equipped
job office, just as cheap, just as
prompt,’ but being short of the letter
‘p’ there are five blanks left instead.”
Thou most ass-toot critic! O, where
did’st thou acquire such critical know
ledge? The ad. to which you allude
had been on the “standing galley” for
many moons, and in the hurry of our
“make-up” the old ad. with the turned
letters was set in the form —simply an
oversight, nothing more. But paucity
of subject-matter, we won’t say of
ideas, gave the distinguished profes
sor of 41-ism another sort of “matter”
upon which to dilate. This, too, re
minds one of the little story of the fice
and the Moon, having the same re
sults. Notwithstanding all that has
been said, we nevertheless depricate
these journalistic “amenities.” Our
Bro. of the pen evidently took too seri
ously certain factitious remarks in al
lusion to himself, and made in a spirit
of fun with no intent to injure or be
little. Had some well-meaning idiot
said to us: “You made a consummate
ass of yourself, by supporting certain
un-appreciative ingrates; and certain
ly cast your pearls before the dirtiest
sort of swine;” we repeat, had the
idiot said as much to us, we would have
replied as did Alexander: “Let us re
flect,” there may be a d-m big truth
in what you say.
The Saxons called December Mid
winter-monat and Yule-monat, in the
belief that it was consecrated to Sat
urn. It is now called from the Latin
word decemten, or tenth-month.

There is prob

-1 healthy condi-
wlw ' ' tion of tbe del -
T icate organism
' of womanhood
and often added to this the digestive func
tions are out of order; these two conditions
cause nearly all the headaches from which
women suffer.
There are two great remedies specially
adapted to these ailments invented by the
chief consulting physician of the famous
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute of
Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. R. V. Pierce. His
world-renowned “Favorite Prescription”
is the most successful medicine ever
known for the cure of distinctly feminine
ailments and his “Golden Medical Discov
ery” is the one supremely effective cure
for digestive difficulties.
Taken in conjunction they completely
rejuvenate the nervous system of weak
and debilitated women; giving health,
strength and capacity to the nerve-centers;
renewed power to the blood-making glands
and energetic force to the entire body.
A lady living in Coshocton Co., Ohio, Mrs. W.
T. Stanton, of Blissfield, writes: “ I had female
weakness very bad for nearly three years. Had
dragging down pains in and above my hips and
such dreadful pains in the back and top of my
head (just as though someone was lifting me by
the hair). Had no ambition, would try to work
a few days then would have to lie in bed for a
long time. No tongue can express the suffering
I endured. I had much pain at monthly pe
riods. I doctored most of the time with as good
a physician as there is in the state, but had no
ease only when I was quiet and off my feet and
then I had more or less pain in my head. When
I began taking Dr. Pierce’s medicines I weighed
102 pounds, and was very pale and weak. I took
twelve bottles of the ‘ Favorite Prescription’
and seven of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery.'
Now I feel like a different person. Have no
pain in my head, can do all my work for self,
husband and one child; am gaining in flesh. I
feel it is through God’s mercy and your wonder
ful medicines that I am cured.”
Where constipated conditions exist Dr.
Pierce’s mild and agreeable “ Pleasant Pel
lets ” should be occasionally used in con
nection with the “Prescription.”

BUSINESS MEAI
OF PRESCOTT:
IF YOU ADVERTISE just
for the fun of advertising", and
with no regard for results,
then don’t advertise in tbe
Pick and Drill. But if you
Want Business
IT CAN BE SECURED by insert
ing an ad. in the
PICK and DRILL
Which not only reaches a large
Prescott audience but reaches a
very large and desirable class of
people throughout the county and
the adjacent mining districts.
Remember when placing an adver
tisement that it is
Not Size,
but Medium
That counts in advertising. A
small ad. —even if no larger than a
business card -is more likely to be
read in the PICK and DRILL than
a larger advertisement buried in a
mass ofrubbis h printed in one of
the larger journals.
