A SINGULAR CHoPPlNo FATALITY.

Philip LaBelle, young man of about
20, who lived with his widowed mother
in Stowe, was killed Friday afternoon
while chopping in the woods. AS he
was working alone, the body was not
found until Saturday morning. Death
was caused by a very peculiar accident,
LaBele having bled TO death from a
cash in the throat under the ear which
severed the jugular vein. How such a
blow could have been given by an axe
held in his own hands is mystery, I'M
less, as is generally supposed, the axe
was caught by limb in a downward
stroke.

WOMAN.

ITO rule the earth the Lord created man
1 And gave him sovereignty, throughout his span
OF mortal life, O'er all this creatured realm.
Then launched his bark with reason at the helm
And rich provision made of sense and soul
To last the voyage through Nor rock nor ShOal,
He failed to show, uncharted, on the sea
OF knowledge, whose deep vaStneSS man could
see
Spreading from time unto eternity.
Thus launched, and looking on its wide extent
He quick began his rashneSS to repent
In setting forth alone, with none to share
The widespread bOuntieS of earth, sea and air.
With none to commune with or share his thought
The wide dominion was too dearly bought.
Then cried he out aloud: "Oh, Father give
Some soulful partner with my soul to liVe.''
And He who gives not with a stinting hand
Sent woman forth from his celestial band
AS help, full meet to cope with every woe
That man, through earthly pilgrimage, could
know.
Her love is food in infancy's first hour;
Her love is nurture to youths budding flower;
Her love is fire to manhOOd'S luSty power;
Her love is light in ages waning hour
Her love, from first to last. is all in all
From infants robes to deaths funereal pail.
Oh. wOman's love! Oh, type of love divine,
Forgetting, all fOrgiving. Yet decline
We, SOtted with cOncet, to let her vote.
For fear the gentle mate control the boat.

Sow AS You Would Reap.

With all our boasted civilization there
yet remains a few drops of savage
blood in the human heart. One needs
but to recur to the recent avalanche of
horrible rapes and murders and if pos
sible the even more horrible lynching-
mObs and executions that followed in
order to verify this assertion. 1t is pos
sible that Christianity may never be
able wholly to eradicate from the blood
this ancestral barbaric taint But,
though this deplorable fact remains, let
us thank God that by far the greater
number of heart throbs are those of
charity, love and good will. There are
more thorns than roses in the path of
life, but if we SOW kind deeds, smiles
and kind words, we shall reap the same.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-08-10

Let this thought reconcile us to the
bitter draughts of sorrow and regret
which we drink passing through the
term of our imprisonment. The longest
life has for it's span but few feeting
years; beyond, are spread the ages Of
immortality. When we shall have
gained our liberty from this mortal

but drink freely of the freely given

The unit of national life is the indi-
vldual home; home means woman:
that woman seeks to make the home
pure, to educate her children up to her
standard of morality; she succeeds as
long as her influence is dominant, it is
so only in the home, beyond it mans
influence is paramount and nOtOriOusly
impure. If then woman's influence so
far as it extends, is good, and mans
evil, then to extend wOman's sphere
would enhance her power for good.
Woman strives to uplift mankind.
Her efforts are limited by the will of
man, who denies to her the means of
fulfilling this aim; remove this restraint
and man would advance two steps to
his present one. "WOmen are not edu-
Gated on political questions" says man;
nor would they be unless the chance is
given them to become so. But we ex-
tend to the countless hordes of demoral-
lied males who land on our shores. the

fabric created by woman. Why not
give to her the only means by which
she can preserve her creatureS-the
and enable mother, wife and sweetheart,
always pure and good.

Speaking with regard to the suffrage
and eligibility of women to office, |
most heartily desire to set my pencil on
end and raise my voice in defense of
the "GOd given herOineS" both of the
church and state. The sphere of wom-
an is not limited to her household duties
In the civil war of America the women
played very important part. Their
work was in all lines of warfare; and,
while chiefly of relief, yet they also
planned campaigns and served in the
ranks, working as private soldiers. If
they have acted we'll in the past, in
many ways, why not let them come to
the front and be on equal footing with
men, and allow them suffrage and eligi-
bility to office? A. A. w.

ANOTHER INCIDENT.
The Territorial Auditor Man
damuSed.
osity to Inspect Certain
Official Record.

Mandamus proceedings were begun
yesterday by John O. Dunbar
through his attorneys, Messrs. Kibbey
& Israel, against Territorial Auditor
Boone to compel him to open the re-
cords of his Office for inspection.
In the absence of Judge Baker the
papers were presented to Commissioner
Jordan who issued an alternative writ
directed to the Territorial Auditor d.
recting him to exhibit the records as re-
quested or appear on November II and
show cause why he had not done so.
The suit may be described as one of
the incidents of the war which is being
waged by the Gazette upon the Terri
torial administration. In his complaint
Mr.. Dunbar sets forth that he has
reason to believe that certain claims
have been audited and Improperly al
lowed by the auditor, and his purpose
in desiring to inspect the records was
to ascertain if this is so. Though it is
not stated in the complaint, the claims
to which reference is made are certain
ones which have been paid the Arizona
Star.
The complainant accompanied the
officer who served the alternative writ
upon the auditor but was again denied
even a cursory glance at the coveted
docum ents.

JOKING HUSBANDS.
Two LuCkIeSS Mesa Duck
Hunters.
They Have, After All, a Good Deal
of Fun Out of a Barren
Days Shooting.

Charlie Starr and L. G. Bennett, two
benedicts of Mesa, played practical
joke recently on their wives, for which
they are, perhaps, repenting at their
leisure. Some days ago they decided
to 60 duck hunting, and after laying in
bountiful supply of ammunition they
started for the river. where they
camped for more than day with va
ried success in camp life, but the poor
est IN the world in regard to supplying
their larder with game. They returned
to Mesa next afternoon without duck,
and on the way they devised scheme
whereby they endeavored to shield
themselves from ridicule, at least
around the family board.
The families are near neighbor and
the backward nimrods repaired first to
the Starr residence, coming from the
direction of Benefits home. Mrs. Starr
asked to see the ducks and Bennett
came to the rescue by inviting her on
behalf of his better half to call at
O'Clock p. N. and eat duck dinner
with them, at the same time stating
that he and Starr had some business to
attend TO ana might be little late, but
they should not wait for them. The
men then went to Benefits home,
where Starr extended similar invita-
ton to Mrs. Bennett. The men then
went down town to await results. A few
minutes before the dinner hour the two
ladies left their separate homes almost
simultaneously and met about half way,
where thew each EXPRESSED their regret
for being little late and apologized as
only ladies can, for their hardness.
Suddenly it dawned upon them that
something was wrong and they COM
pared notes for moment. 1t was clear
that they were the victims Of practi-
cal joke, and after bidding kind adieua
they went home to receive the culprits.
Starr stole home quietly at midnight,
while Bennett, being more timid, wait
ed until the next day to explain matters.
