KINDERGARTENS.
The Monthly Gala Day With Marching
and Band Playing.

The usual monthly gathering of all
the kindergarten teachers and their
scholars took place yesterday on
the Free kindergarten grounds. There
were fully $50 children present of all
tionalities-lIaoles, Hawaiians, Por-
tuguese, Chinese ant Japanese. 1t was
a very cosmopolitan gathering and
the sight was viewed by several people
who are interested in missionary work
in Burmah and are now returning to
the States on vacation. One of them
ventured to assert that such an in
ternational gathering of children
could not be duplicated anywhere on
the face of the earth. The Govern
ment band was present and rendered
concert. The band also played a
march while the children and their
teachers marched about the grounds.
Miss Lawrence was in charge of this
feature of the entertainment. Mr..
Frank Damon was present and took
an active part in helping to make it
pleasant for the little ones.

A Square Drink.

But of all the attractive features of
this charming spot, Rothenburg, the
annual festspiel, celebrating the cap
ture of the town by lilly during
the Thirty Years war, ranks first. At
that time, and indeed until 1908, Roth
enburg was free city, taking an active
part in the peasants war of 1925 and
in the Thirty Years war of the follow
ing century. 1t was i'll the course of tho
latter, in 1851, that the celebrated lilly
appeared before Rothenburg and de-
manded its capitulation. This the citi-
zens refused, with the result that the
gallant little town was besieged and
taken. Tilly and his generals proceeded
to the rathhaus and demanded the
municipal keys of the burgomaster. At
the same time lilly imposed a fine of
80, 900 thalers and garrisoned the town
with his soldiers
The burgomaster pleaded in vain for
some mitigation of the penalty, until
the victorious general, after remaining
for some time unmoved by his entreaties
conceived the extraordinary notion of
Offering to restore the freedom of the
town on condition that one of the in
habitants should come forward and
empty at one draft an immense beaker
of wine, containing about 80 liters
Cover three quarts This was an un-
heard of feat, even in those hard drink
ing days, and for some time his offer
remained unaccepted. The opportunity
of freeing the town from foreign yoke
seemed, however, too important to be
lost, and accordingly patriotic citizen
named Nusch resolved to attempt the
difficult task imposed by the conqueror.
AS matter of fact, he drained the
beaker at one draft, and, although ira
dition relates that a severe illness fol-
lowed the feat, still he saved the town,
for lilly kept his word and restored the
independence of Rothenburg. Cham

A Feature OF Phenix.

traveller the other day, with few
features in Phenix that mark no other
town on the coast. One of them is the
custom of posting up black bordered
notices of invitations to funerals. I've
seen that done in some of the little
towns in the gulf states, but nowhere
else. l know it's sort of habit only
from conversation I had with an old
timer. He said that about 30 years ago,
when the town was new, there were no
newspapers, and even later the only We
hicle of news was a weekly paper.
There was no ice to be had, and burials
had to be done quickly, especially in the
summer time. The only way to bring
the news of the death and funeral to the
attention of the public was by means Of
notices stuck on the posts, and the GUS
tom has continued to this date, when
no necessity exists Arizona Repub-

ALAWYER HIRED Blythe DAY
And the Reason He Quit This job Pre-
clsely on Time.

clsely on Time.
With the name of Rufus Lockwood is
recalled to mind one of the most extraor.
binary geniuses that the state of Cali.
fornia ever produced 1t is many years
now since Lockwood held sway in the
courts of San Francisco. He was, in his
day, perhaps the best lawyer in the
state, and it was only because of his at.
ter indifference to pccuniary matters
that he did not leave n large fortune be-
hind him.
Lockwood went ut one time to Horace
Halves, very distinguished lawyer,
and the author of the consolidation act
which is now in force. Halves had q
reputation for close figuring, and Lock
wood knew it. He said, "Mr. Halves,
I'll hire myself to you for one year from
date at a salary of $25 day, payable
every night.
''All right said Halves, delighted
to engage the services of the brightest
mind in the state mt so low a figure-for
the salary was not great one in those
days-and the bargain was scaled. 1t
was II o'clock in the morning. But
from that time on, it is said, Halves
never missed an opportunity of remind
ing Lockwood of his bondage. He would
say, in the presence of others, ''Lock.
wood, go fetch that book, " Lock
wood, do this or that, etc. Lockwood
never said a word, but did as he was
hidden, and Halves enjoyed his triumph.
Finally it came to the day when the
years engagement terminated. There
was most important lawsuit OH hand,
of which Lockwood had made careful
study. No one in the state could pos
sibly have handled it as he did Well,
Oh the day in question Lockwood stood
in court, an array of lawbooks in front
of him, and eXpounded his views in
mastery fashion. Suddenly he looked
up at the clock and saw that it was the
hour of II. Closing the book from which
he was quoting, he turned to Halves,
who was sitting beside him, and said ::
"Mr. Halves, "a year ago today at this
hour contracted to work for you one
year. My times up, the contract is can
celed and 1 am going"
Thus did he repay his master for the
humiliation heaped upon him. Halves
was in the greatest CONSERVATION. He
could not possibly take up the thread of
the case where Lockwood had left it,
and he begged and implored him to pro-
coed. But Lockwood remembered, and
he turned a deaf ear to all persuasions.
He kept his word; the contract had ex-
pired. San Francisco Bulletin.

the dead body of man in the weeds on
the bed of the creek. 1t proved to be that
of Maxey Cobb, Treasurer of this (Lan-

eide, presumably by taking poison, as
there were no marks of violence.
This is the tragic sequel TO the treasury
shortage of nearly 900 which developed
last week and for which Cobb was held re-
sponsible. No criminal action rad been
begun against him, but he brooded over
the matter and week ago he transferred
his lie insurance to protect his bonds
men. Monday last he disappeared, and
though his absence caused some coniec-
ture, no special alarm was felt. the ac-
cepted theory being that he was indulging
in protracted spree. His relatives and
intimates were of this belief and urged
that no particular publicity be given his
disappearance. To-day, however, an ac-
tive search was begun with the accidental
discovery of the body, as stated. The re-
mains were brought to the city and an in

men in the city and his integrity had
