Ell TURBANTE

Tan fantastico Y hermoso
ca el revuelto turbante,
que su gallarda presencia
ests pidiendo un romance.
Tn romance esplepdoroso
lleno de hiperboles arabes
sonoro como I'M pandero,
ampuloso como un jaique.
Hay que hacer le que fulgure
como les corvos alliances
y que tenga el rico vuelo
de los yestidos talares.
Ha de ser como una treuza
de tramado Y de mudable
y cnal palmera ardorosa
de flexible y elegante.
Ha de tener de una guzla
los sonidos orientales,
y dejos d malagueflas,
4 polos yS soleares.
Ese giron de albo limo
que q las sienes Sc contrae,
da majestad 4 "a frente
y al cuerpo noble talante.
Sobre semblantes morenOs
gusta enroscado mirarle,
y sobre barbas rizosas
y ojos rasgados Y grandes.
Hiperb0lico, en- la testa
entrelaza sus ramales
con motives de arabescos
hechos lineas serpeantes.
1gual que EuRmplio rodete
,Ae rlca pompa hsee alarde,
tiene de celosia
algo en- sus cruces y passes.
ri habla de versos moros,
de sol ardiente y salvaje,
de camellos y palmeras,
de cocos y de aduares.
Su vision pinta en- Ia mente
abrasadOs SrenaleS,
caravans fatigosas,
tribus dispersas y errantes.
Ell dibuja en la memoria
Constantinopla brillante,
con sus serrallos ocultf $,
dondeNel amor SO retras.
FL acuerda las gumias
con ccrdOnes de torzales,
toda Ia Alhambra sublime,
toda Cordoba admirable.
De siete siglos de guerra
habla 81 morisco turbante,
~ 81 despierta mas ideas
que abejas tiene IN enjambre.

The author of ''The Children of the Desert" assumes the pleasure of an nouncing to the public and to Phoenix in particular, that his issue of verses are on the market for sale at 30 cents copy It might not be out of place to openly declare that these poems would probably not have been issued had it not been for the kind words spoken to the author by learned lady in California. She assured him that they were stars set in pearls to gem the future poesy of our country. Capt. Sullivan of the staff of the San Fran cisco Chronicle also admired the art less efforts so much that he frankly stated that the poem of Despair" alone was sufficient to make the work famous. The little bound volume of poems may be found on sale at all the stationery stores. Why not send your mother, brothers, sisters and cousins (don't for get your mother-in-law) a copy for an Xmas present? Show them that alfalfa will produce poets as we'll as baseball, football and other fiends.

THE WEEK IN SOCIETY.
Pleasant Receptions He'd in Several
 Homes-C0ming Events.

Society is still alive, but from the dearth of events during the past week one might think the grand ball given by the Rebekahs', Thanksgiving eve, and the opening reception at the Ford hotel Thanksgiving night, had acted upon the gay and beautiful seekers after pleasure, as a powerful narcotic, instead of adding to their energy and life as was really the result of these pleasant affairs.
 Nevertheless The Republican can chronicle the usual success of Mrs. Hoadley's evening at home last We'd nesday, which was elaborate and most charming in all it's details, and adds but another proof that Mrs. Hoadley is @ charming hostess, who never fails to surpass herself in each of her most charming entertainments.
 "Wednesday afternoon was also marked in the minds of Mrs. w. H Rulings many friends, as a red letter day Although her reception was in formal in plan, it was characterized by the usual elegance and ease with which Mrs. Rulings always receives.
 The Maricopa club gave a, most en, j0yable party at the club rooms Thurs day evening, which was well attended and very successful. Cards and dane ing were the order of the evening.

ment WAS made to MIR. sullivan, and the

Mickum was.drawHon the jury, and served
as its foreman, but nothing was said Of
the matter untl conviction followed.
Mr.. Mickum denied making such a state
ment 10 Mr.. sullivan, but admitted he was
