AGAIN BURNED OUT.
w. C. Norton & Company Suffer at
 Prescott.

Prescott Journal-Miner: About 1 o'clock this morning fusilade of pis- tol shots, followed by the ringing of the fire bell and few minutes later by the shrill and deafening blasts of the Electric Light company's whistle and the whistle of locomotive in the railroad yards, awakened the populace from a sound slumber and brought out the fire department ip double quick order. The fire, which was in the building occupied by w. c. Norton & Go. on the ground floor, and a lodging house in the second story, had already made great progress, lurid flames shooting heavenward, Illuminating the town for blocks around.
 The fire department was not long in getting two streams of water on the burning building after the alarm was sounded, and it did not take them very long to get it under control The fire had made such progress, though, be- fore the alarm was sounded that the second story of the building was pret ty badly burned The fire did not reach the front where Norton & Co. g store is located, but the goods were all moved and the firm suffered consider able loss on this account as well as by water.
 w. c. Norton lives with his family in the rear of the store and he says he was awakened by noise in the real of the building and he arose and light. ed lamp and started out at the rear door. Just as he reached the door, he heard some one jump over the fence and run away, so that there. can be no doubt that the fire was of incendiary origin. The end of the house, too, had coal oil thrown over it:
 MT. Norton says that an attempt was made last Friday night to set fire to the building, but for some cause O. other it failed to ignite properly. The place selected for the fire is in the rear of the building, just outside of the oil room and had the fire worked it's wax into the oil last night it might have been more disastrous
 The building was owned by the lata Judge Peery, of Missouri, who commit ted suicide in Phoenix about week ago.

A ROWLING FAKE.
Added Notoriety Secured by the Cow
 boy Preacher and Wife.

J. R. Rice, the "cowboy preacher" and his wife are now right in their element at Los Angeles. They have been continuing the same practices that have made them a pair of the best advertised and most successful fakirs in the country, and have at tained part of their curious ends in the imprisonment of the woman. The following from the Los Angeles Times will be interesting to those who re- member the actions of the couple in Phenix:
 'tMrs. J. R. Rice, the wife of the fakir calling himself the cowboy preacher, was arrested last night for obstructing the sidewalk. A huge crowd completely blocked Spring street between First and Second, and com~ plaints were turned in at the police station that people had to walk out in- to the middle of the sreet, as the side walk was impossible.
 Sergeant Morton walked to the spot and politely asked the woman to, move on. Instead of replying in al ike man. ner, the fury burst out into flood of abuse and vitupera ation, claiming that nobody had a right to move her. Her challenge was taken up, and, escorted by an immense throng, she was led to the police station.
 "A citizen offered to bail her out, but nI,o I> a1v and do the same thing. Her husband arrayed in all the glory of buckskin clothes and top boots, with his auburn hair hanging down his back, also called at the station. The pair have been warned several times of their begging plan but no notice has been taken of the warnings.
 "A short time ago they were at dag gers drawn, but last night the fake cowboy accompanied her to the stand and, after getting her started preach ing, left her. The pair are considered brazen swindlers. In one place Rice represented his wife as being the daughter of southern planter, but here she is introduced as a true-blue blood, the daughter of Lord Hastings of England. &
 ''When in. Chicago the police arrest. ed them and S2.60O worth of diamond: were found E on their persons. They explained this circumstance by saying that they had found this the bes method of investing their money, from which may be inferred that the busi- ness of saving souls is profitable one The preaching, or rather, begging

WON THE SHRINiERS.

Louis Files, the accommodating bar Der, made many friends among the vis- iting Shriners by his kindness. His excellent bathrooms with their porce- lain rolled-top tubs were at their dis posal day and night, and his efforts were highly appreciated by the home citizens, of which many of the best are his customers. Louis is at all times ready to oblige a customer.

Fresh meat is not allowed them save in
cases of sickness. Severe fasts are prao-

Benedictine monastery in the United
States was established at Latrobe, Pa, in
1864, and erected into the Abbey of ST.

THE JESUIT FATHERS.
In nearly every history of political
changes in Europe much is found relat-
ing to the Jesuits This is the order of
the Society of Jesus, and it is the most
learned and powerful in the church of
Rome. The conversion of ST. 1gnatius
an ardent believer has oftan been told.
In 1884 he and 70 number of oompan-
ions, including ST. Francis Xavier, pro-
nounced the vow which constituted them
an order: $40 renounce the world, to
go to preach the Gospel in Palestine, or,

In 1910 the order was formally approved
by the Pope. Today the mission to Pal
estine is no longer required, nor does the
order, at least in this country, mix in
political life. In Europe it's activity in
that direction led to it's temporary sup

The Woodsman OF the Northwest.
A woodsman writes of his own tribe as
follows:
He wears a mackinaw shirt, and, as a
rule comes from Michigan, Sweden or
Canada. The firsts thing he does is to
swamp, chop limbs, knock off knots and
receive the benedictions of the teamster,
who wonders how anything SO awkward
found it's way SO far through life. After
awhile he learns to chop, pull saw and
flip oanthook. When times are hard and
wages low, he goes to camp and sticks
to work right along; when times are good
and wages high, he can't content himself
in one place His turkey consists of a
two bushel bag and some old clothes. If
French, he talks less in February than in
any other month in the year. Still he says
all that can be said in 80 days, and his
under jaw is a near approach to perpetual
motion. If Scandinavian, he talks little
things slow, minds his work and never
kicks. If Irish, he is likely to prove a
synonym for ambiguity and utility. The
woodsman is valued according to the price
of lumber. When pine boards are high.
he is high too. '-MinneapoIis Journal.

One of TIE most interesting of the
brotherhoods is the Order of Preaching
Friars, or DominicaMs, which was found
ed in 1915 by st. Dominic They were
known il this country as far back as the
sixteenth century, when they watered
the soil of Florida with their sweat and
their blood. More recently they were
introduced into California, under Spanish
Go'E inion. But their first permanent or
ganization in the United States was
made in 1907. at Springfield, KY, by
Father Fenwiok, Of Maryland, who had
joined the order in Flanders.
Their original rule enjoined perpetual
silence, no time for conversation being
permitted without leave from the SUPER
ior, complete abstinence from meat and
fasting from Sept. II to Easter Sun day.
They also had to wenr coarse wooden gar
menbs in lieu of linen. This rigor has
been slightly modified in the United
States. They wear white habit and
seapuiar, with long black mantle.
THE BENEDICTINES.
The Oldest and most extensive order Is
that of the Bensdictine Brotherhood. 1t
was established by st. Benedict in the
early part of the sixth century. Its rules
are founded on those of the old Eastern
asoetics. They have regulated the mon
astie world for more than 1,400 years
Next TO tho Jesnits it is the most numer-
Gus religious body in the United States.
Originally the order was oren to every
body without dist notion, even to child
