Middleman Demand Commits

A report was current . lew days ago that MT. George Mitchell Of the Cobre Gfands Copper company had been ar. rested. Efforts were made to run down the rumo. aud no definite
 knowledge of the matter could be gained, Acc ,rd.ng to the Phoenix
 Herald. papers were served upon Mfr. Mitchell but he was not arrested. He left Phoenix and went to Jerome last week and 1t was at the latter place that the papers were served notifying him that James Shirley and William
 Vanderbilt had sued him for $l2s.eOO the sum they claim as their share coming from the sale of the Cobre Grande mines in old Mexico. The gentlemen have succeeded in getting sn order from the Court which epjoins Mir. Mitchell from handling his pro-
 fits of the sale until the suit is settled. Shirley and Vanderbilt have also star ted suit against c. w. Hull for a share of the money paid him for the U nited Verde Extension mines, and have succeeded in tying up the money already paid on the property. This will not however touch the $75,00O deposited for development work on
 this group. There is liable to be . long and tedious law contest in both cases. ss the gentlemen who have started sni: claim that they have papers toprove that they are entitled to share of the money in both eases.

amen, amen," echoed the people.
The carriage was waiting at the hitch
ing post. Slowly Genevieve arose to her
tall height and grasped her mothers arm
for support. She felt a stifed feeling at
her throat, a tight something which held
her head like a wise. In vain she tried
to speak. All eyes were turned on her.
With unsteady step she walked from the
place, with head erect, seeing not, and,
throwing her arms above her head, cried,
in stifled voice:
my God! I'm dyingw and fell prone
on the snow-covered walk, which was
dyed in places by a stream of crimson
oozing from her mouth.
Liza Peer opened the door Of Mrs.

in the close red coat later that night.
"She just keeps a-caiiin' an a-moanin'

Solomon Fletcher approached the bed
and paused, scarce knowing in his rough
way whether to stand and watch by
Genevieve or to comfort hysterical little
Mrs. Brook. 1t seemed to him that lis
presence had brought an air of expect
ancy that effused even him.
Heavily the white lids opened and Gem

She pressed fine thread handkerchief
to her lips and lay so still among the
pillows Solomon thought the end had
come. But not yet was it so.
Tomorrow Will be the Christmas day,
and shall have met my DOOM" She
clutched at his arm in frenzy of fear,
and then, with supernatural strength,
tore at the lace at her neck and threw
fragments of the fimsy stuff on the floor.
She snatched Mt the frills about her
hands and robbed her fingers of their
rich gems. Choking and gasping for
breath and struggling in vain to speak
again, she fell back in the arms of Solo
mon, held out to receive her.
As he laid her tenderly back on the
downy pillows, the Christmas bells broke
merrily forth, their sweet Ginning sound
ing her death knell.
Standing, Solomon stretched out hA
hands over the still white form.

to the Druids a sacred tree. The mistle-
toe, a parasitic plant found on its
branches, was equally holy. The custom
OF decorating a small tree at Christmas
tide prevailed in Germany throughout
the middle ages, being a survival Of the
ancient custom of setting up tree in
the German village at this season in
honor of the return of the sun from the
south and the coming spring. In Eng
land the custom passed into disuse, but
in 1912, on the first birthday of the
Prince of Wales, Prince Albert. Ger

nobility soon followed suit and the prac-
tice became general.

If 1 We're Santa Claus.

II 1 were only Santa Claus,
And Santa Claus was me,
I'd show him just what good
Old Santa Claus I'd be,
I'd always bring the kind of toys
And story books for him;
I'd find his stocking ev'ry year,
And fill 1t to the brim
This year I'd bring book or SO
On how we conquered Spain,
Or how boy pursued his foe
Across the Klondike plain.
And boxing gloyes-and, say, guess
A pistol would be great
To Klondike with. And then-oh, yes,
A wheel for ninety-eight
I'd bring a leather suit and hat
The kind that cowboys wear,
OF bowie knives and things ike that
He'd have a lot to spare.
I'd fill his stocking then with all
The candy 1t would hold,
And where the packages were smai1
I'd fill in round with gold,
And when they saw how good was,
How happy folks would be
II | were only Santa Claus
And Santa Claus was me.

THE OLD YEAR.

IF all the old years days could speak,
l wonder what they'd say
= The snowy days, the biowy days.
The 1owery dayssof May;
The summer days. when shady ways
Were made for children's feet;
Vacation days. when for their plays
The country WAS SO sweet.
II all the old years days could speak
Just think of ii awhile
Would their report bring bitter tears,
Or the sunshine of smile?
All, could they speak from week to week
OF honest work well done,
OF well-used powers In study hours.
OF fairness in The funi
OF thankful thought for kindness wrought
When homes are rich and glad;
OF tender care to give or share
Where homes are poor and sad:
Of pleasant ways In dark. dull days:
OF little. gentle deeds:
OF earnest hours among hearts flowers.
In piucking hurtfn weeds?
Can the year speak Of patience meek
Where grief has stopped awhile.
OF courage bold. for weak and old
A loving word or SMILEY
Methinks the year must seem most dear
II thus Its speech can be:
Oerfull of joys for girls and boys
year OF jubilee.

New Railroads Under Way.

According to the Railway Age, the pres
ent year is likely to see a great revival OF
railroad building. 1t estimates that 5000
miles will be added to the mileage of tho
United States, which would be greater
record than that OF any year since 1850.
According to the Railway Age, the build
ing of 5000 miles of railroad means the
Investment of about $50, 100000 and tho
permanent employment of $4,000 men.
Tables show that there are 500 new lines
projected or under construction, with a
total length of 40.5S3 miles. OF these
lines less than $500 miles of railroad is
in the New England or Middle States. In
the Southwestern States there are ITO
new roads under way with length OF
l2,211 miles. The South Atlantic, Gull,
and Mississippi Valley States have an
equal mileage of new roads in prospect,
the Central Northern and Northwestern
States have nearly 5000 miles projected,
and more than 1000 miles of railroads are
to be built in the Pacific States.
The 5000 miles Of new track to be built
this year consists largely of extensions
and links for the large Western systems.
With these additions the railroads in opera
ton in the United States will be in the
neighbOrhOod of 1872, 600 miles long, of q
total value Of about S12, 500, ,G00, 900, and
employing a million men in their opera
ton
