but lately entered this new field of endeavor, their brief experience has caused them to realize the many ad- vantages and disadvantages attending military life. To those who were for tunate enough to secure an office the outlook was bright and peaceful, but the many who had to content them selves with high private in the rear ranks" do not see the brightness and do not appreciate the peacefulness of the present situation. The commits sions were issued in the characteristic haphazard manner so prevalent this year and when such policy is pursued it is no wonder that dissatisfaction is the result This general spirit of unrest reached it's continuation Friday morning, materially assisted by a series of surprising events. Col. Barnes believing that it was impos- sible for the young lady officers to dispense the instruction necessary for the company without a sword, de- termined to supply that deficiency at his own expense. Accordingly he ordered three swords and belts, in the meantime circulating a subscrip- tion among members of the faculty and students for some assistance. They duly arrived and last Friday morning were presented with much pOmp and ceremony at dress parade. The for tunate recipients were Miss Russell, captain; Miss Clara Frazier, first lieu tenant. and Miss Manning, second lieu tenant. The presentation was ren- dered doubly impressive by the read ing of an original poem by the com mandant. It was highly amusing, treating of the affair in a very humor- ous manner. At the close the young ladies expressed their thanks to Col. Barnes for his kindness and liberality. Those who did not receive such glitter ing military tokens do not view the matter in such a favorable light, and just what effect this will have upon the company is at present matter of serious conjecture.
 Professor Tourney entertained us Wednesday morning by short talk on Oxford college. This was one of the interesting places visited by Pro- lessor Tourney last summer, and his remarks were full of interesting facts regarding this ancient seat of learning.
 Messrs Sparks, Young and Butler, accompanied by Professors Blake and Guild, left Friday night on a four days trip to the Catalinas. The ob- jcctive point is Canyon del Oro." sit uated on the north side of the range, near the foot of Mount Lemon. When questioned as to their object in going they said it was merely to get little practical work in geology, but it is inferred that the legend about the lost Spanish mine in that vicinity furnishes the principal attraction.
 It occasioned much regret when it became known that Captain G. M Gillett had resigned his position. As MT. Gillett is a senior, the drill was optional with him. and as the general dissatisfaction did not abate he de- cided to retire. The retirement also of Sergeant Mayor Drachman created two vacancies, that were filled by pro- motion Friday morning. Among the promoted officers are Adjutant c. P. Richmond to captain, First Lieutenant Logan to adjutant, Second Lieutenant Welles to second lieutenant.

STORIES OF LINCOLN.
Ion. Wiley B. Jones of Solomonville
 Introduces New Narratives.

Hon. Wiley E. Jones of Solomon vile spent yesterday in the city. MT. Jones is district attorney of Graham county. He has been visiting poiiti- cal friends in northern Arizona, and left last night for Solomonville. MT. Jones is an Illinoisan. He was elected to the Illinois legislature from San gamon county in 1886, just fifty years after Abraham Lincoln represented the same county in the same legislature. Mr. Jones at the late annual meeting of the Illinois society in this city re- lated a story which has been told often before, but not with the same particularly and which was generally regarded as a myth-the boring of hole in a water-logged boat to let the water out.
 That is a Lincoln story never re- lated in even the comprehensive mar ration of Nicolay and Hay. The boat was drifting down the Sangamon and it endured snag which filled it with water. It was drifting rapidly along, always threatened with sinking, until the nose struck and projected over a rock dam opposite the town of Petersboro, three miles above Old Salem, made sacred by Lincoln memories. Lincoln was the head man on the boat, which was no longer in any danger. He borrowed an auger, bored a hole in the forward end and let the water out.
 A, lumberman from Michigan, who was present when this story was told, said there was nothing wonderful in it. q He had seen the same thing done
Arizona republican., 1898-02-21

when vessels were dragged up in Saginaw It was easier to bore holes in their bottoms than to turn them upside down to empty the water out. MT. Jones remembered something else about Old Salem which has never been printed. On the site of the store where Lincoln used to sell calico, general merchandise and even liquor, there remains nothing but a depres- sion in the ground, former cellar. A sycamore tree grows out of the middle of it. It is now a foot and a

half in diameter and is covered to it's first limbs with the initials of every youth in the vicinity. But a couple of years ago a young man of artistic skill came out from the east. He sat above the first limbs and cut into the bark day after day, and when he fin- ished he left upon the rounded trunk a living likeness of the martyred pres ident. This was begun and finished since Nicolay and Hay wrote their stories, and so it has never before been told in print
