How much better it would be if people would take an hour or two off now and then and write friendly letters to each other, like our fore parents did a century ago ! Life of the present day is literally robbed ot much of its sweetness and joy in the mad rush for pleasure or the grasping yea, almost gasping greed for money. Some of the most charmih books that one can read are books which con tain much correspondence between friends or relatives in the long ago. Stop, you half crazy business man, and think up some good and intimate friend of school boy days, write him the best letter you can, and see how you will enjoy the reply. tut To one who could take in the situation "without prejudice," there was object lesson enough in Halifax coirt in one day to forever establish the contention of The Commonwealth that we do G0O(l Lecture. not need any intoxicating drinks at all. Whis key was plentifully in evidence outside the court room and in one or two instances it was in evidence inside tha court room ; but it is not probable that the same thing will occur again when Judge Shaw is holding court. A citizen of the county who had been summoned to court as a regular juror went Into the jury box in a state of intoxication. Judge Shaw ad journed court until the aiternoon, waiting for a train to bring jurors, and in the afternoon the man was still in a state of intoxication. J udge Shaw fined him $50, aud not being able to pay it, the man went to jail two or three days. When Judge Shaw learned that he had not paid his fine but was still in j lil, he sent for him and after remonstrating with him sent him home under caution not to repaat the act in court. This and other things which occurred at the conrt house, made as s'rong a temperance lecture as one needs to convince him of the evils of strong drink and the liquor trarhs. I t It The proposition to join Arizona and New Mexico into one State has met with strenuous opposition by the people of Arizona. The reason given by a writer in Collier's for the strong de ArizOna'S Plea GuOll. s5re qq the part Qf pubiica, to unite Arizona and Mexico, is to even up with Damocrats when Oklahoma and Indian Territory ara united into one State. These two territories united into one State would b3 Democratic and wou'.d send another Democratic Senator to Congress; and the Republicans wish to even up by uniting Arizona and Mexico, from which a Republican Senator would be sent to Congress. Says the writer in Collier's : "Her (Ariz ma's) people object to having their in terests eacnficed for such an object." Of course "away down South in Dixie" we kn w very little about the territories ; but it is interesting to note that the people in Arizona are of Anglo-Saxon stock and the people nf New Mexico are of Latin descent ; aud the population of New Mexico being iu a majority over Arizona, the legal relations of the whole people would be regulated by a majority o:i Latin principles. This the people of Arizona object to, and they wish tho politicians to let them alone. They beiieve that they are environed by resources, now real and prospective, suf ficient to give them the dignity of statehood. And this being so, how can they b3 blamed for saying "no" to the proposed union with New Mexico? It is further interesting to note, according to Collier's, that after sixty years of Americanization over sixty per cent, of the inhabitants of New Mexico are of Mexican descent, and it is still necessary to use interpreters in the courts and juiy room in a majority of the counties in the territory. I IX I "THE TRUTH REMAINS THAT THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS TO-DAY HAVE MORE POWER AND USE IT FOR BETTER ENDS THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS TIME." Such The Newspaper's Power a gentence ln aQ editorial in the current num ber of Collier's. One feels a little curious to know just what papers are re ferred to-whether the great metropolitan dallies, the ordinary city dailies, the village afternoon dailies, the country weeklies-all of them together, or a part of them. The country editor sometimes questions with himself whether his work as a newspaper man counts much in the great volume ot influence accorded the press. It is true that now and then some one will wave his band towards a couple of country editors, as we saw recently, and say "There are the men who run the country," or words to that effect ; but does he really mean it or does be eay it from habit? Every editor of a country weekly is made to feel sometimes like his opinions and views, be they never so good and wall thought out and expressed, do not attract the ordinary reader as much as a "local" telling about how Bill Dinks, or Dill Binks found a three legged chicken in his poultry yard ; or how Snip Willard orWip Snillard. dug a sweet potato which looked like a snake except It could not "poke out its tongue." And this brings up again the question whether or noo a country weekly newspaper needs to have edi torials Some one has said that the people want news from which they will form their own views ; but as able and good authority a, that of the Charlotte Observer thinks that newspapers all need to give expression to editorial opinions. Can't some of tne reaoers ox give us their opinion about the matter? A communication on the subject L k ,n order and we shall be glad to hear from some of our readers. - You May Paste This in Your Scrap Book For Reference.

The Telephone Girl. "While it is possible that the tile- phone girl ba Itr faults, she does not deserve all the adverse criticism to which the is sometimes subjected", said an old telephone man yesterday. It is ot courso very trying to be interrupted in the midst of a con- versation by having ihe line cut ia on' getting the wrong connection, bad connection, and all these little things that try one's patience, but we should remember that telephone girls, lite everyone ehe, are liablo to make mis takes and that all the troubles arj not chargeable to her. For instance, it is often charged that the telephone girl claims that a certain line you want is busy when it is not. Now, as a matter of fact, the telephone girl can more easily give the desired connection than to report it busy. Making the connection is au easy matter, and if you notice, when calling for a number you can tell whether she has made an effort to give you the number you waut. Il the number you call for is busy you will hear a distinct rattle as she attempts to join the lines. The telephone operator has many things to try her narves and it Is a wonder the is really as good naturcd as she is. The po&ition belaq; 6o try ing it is absolutely itr possible to avoid all the annoying llitle tLingi t'iftt bring abuse on the head of tha tele phone girl. Birmingham Aged Her aid.

"That marm," he said, with a mis chievous twinkle in bis eyes, "is to ring the bell when you want anything to eat." Shortly after the old lady reached her umbrella up to the cord and gave it a vigorous pull.
