boys clustered around the hall and uttered
rah- -rah-rahs till il almost rained. When
the doors swung open there was a rush
for seats. The youths and boys scrambled
madly over chairs and benches as they
always do. Once settled in their places
they resumed their school and college cries
each crowd seeking to drown the voices of
the others. Ii was a vocal battle.
Within half an hour after the opening of
the hall scenes of great commotion and ex
citement were being enacted. Everything
in sight was cheered; everybody who
caught the eyes of the college boys was
bombarded with calls that would have
forced a Comanche to stun cotton in his
ears
Troops of gay-clad girls began to invade
the hall. Many of them had heroes in the
lists There was a rainbow of shirt waists
and miles of ribbons dyed with the colors
of the city high schools and various col
leges and universities represented in the
contests. The girls, though not SO bois-
I ferrous as their brothers were just as an
imated and at times as agitated. Whole
seminaries of them stood on their chairs
that they might see the whole course of the
race.
The balcony at the south. or stage end, of
the hall was filed. and carried the memo
ries of many persons back to the time of
the Moody Choir.
Early in the evening athletes began to
make their appearance on the floor of COM

stalwart bodies. Some OF these athletes.

One of the features of the event was the
display of silver. Several pounds of the
precious metal had been wrought into
shining trophies for the victors 4 large
table was freighted with the glittering
ware, and at the close of the meet It was
inspected by many persons.
Another feature of the occasion was the
magaphone solo which Fred Schade played
at the end of each event. The names of
the winners and the time they made was
announced through this instrument
The putting of the sixteen-pound shot
was viewed with interest

 Saturday evening of last week word came from Calabasas that Judge D. J. Cumming, who had been visiting Nogales during the day and was re- Gurning home to Rancho del BOsque, had been thrown from his wagon by the runaway of his team, and in- stsntly killed. The remains Of de- ceased were brought into NogaIes shat night, and the Obseqnies were conducted Sunday afternoon from the residence of his brother, D. w. Cum mings, on Nelson avenue. Deceased was 58 years, 20 months and 2 days Of age.
 David John Cumming was native of Canada, but before coming to Ari- gona he was engaged in merchandis- ing many years fn Santa Cruz, Califor. nia, and also served Santa Cruz coun- Gy, in that state. several years as de- putty recorder
 Deceased came to NOgales in the fall of 1881 or spring of 1882, and was several years in the important and responsible post of customs agent for the Sonora railway, which place he held several years, and he also at- tended the business of Wells, Fargo & Co. several years. In 1884 he was elected justice of the peace in Nogales precinct, to which position he was re- elected several terms, serving con- tinually until 1897, when he retired from the office. During the term of President Harrison he was also Unit ed States court commissioner. In 1894 he was elected town clerk and treas ttrer, and was reelected in 1896, but did not serve out his term, resigning sn 1897 to engage in farming. He also conducted an insurance business which he sold to his successor in the city clerkship. MT A. J. Griswold.

MUSIC, ITS INFLUENCE ON THE HOME,

We do not have enough music in the
home. Children who sing at their work
will hardly quarrel; and parents who
sing will find the burden of their task
grow lighter. There ia rest and recre-
alton In music. This generation is great
~ indebted to both secular and religious
schools for developing the talent for
music in our young people. Bayard Tay-
lor wrote, 1.-The gift of song was chiefly
lent to give consoling music for the joys
we lack" There is no other talent which
can contribute so much happiness to a
home. The charm of music is great, it
bushes the infant Go rest. At the family
altar it lifts the soul in worship to God
and heaven. In the home it fosters the
home spirit and strengthens family ties.
Encourage the children to sing. lie mat
tiers not whether Gheee IS much music in
their voices on not; there ls music 10
their souls from which the efio t springs,
and that is enough. Ii the gift of music
is divine gift, the disposition TO sir e is
a holy influence for the salvation of That
being to whom IL comes and therefore
there is no other talent that can contrI-
butte so much to making happy homes.

sit seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
the largest state in the Union-Texas,' >,
writes William Clinton in the February
Ladies' Home Journal. Indeed this
ranch is so extensive that some states
could not contain it. Connecticut, by
example, could not hold it By several
thousand acres. The two states of Rhode
Island and Delaware combined could not
contain this immense ranch which con-
sists of three million acres, or about five
Thousand square miles.
"About dozen years ago, when Texas
needed new state capitol, the Legi2-
lature adopted novel plan to get it.
A promise was held forth that a vast
tract of unappropriated land would be
given in exchange for suitable granite
building at Austin. Among those tempt
ed By this offer were Ex-senator Charles
B. Farwell and his brother John, who
ultimately formed a syndicate in Chicago
and took upon themselves the response
bility of erecting the proposed capitol.
Their part of the agreement appears to
have been carried out to the satisfaction
of the state, and in due time they came
into the possession of the immense do
main now known as the X. L. T. ranch.''

Experiences in a Mining Camp,

REV J. b. KETTLE, GREENFIELD HILL, CT.
Those who have never seen q mining
camp In It's early days would have had an
excellent opportunity, at Creede during
the early months Of 1892, to have become
acquainted with the lights and shadows
OF miners life. The story Of the birth
and growth Of Creede Is the same as that
of hundreds OF other camps. Time was
when the deep canon and the towering
mountain peaks-with the exception of a
single rAnchman-were silent as the
grave. One day two prosPectors came
over the mountains and discovered vein
Of valuable ore. News of the discovery
spread and caused great excitement far
and near. From all parts Of the state
and all parts OF the coun try, people came
60 Creole. Many came az near the camp
rs possible by train, others by wagons,
some with burros, Others walked long dis
tances with blanket Gotten their only
possesslon) on their backs. So great was
the rush that In few days, the once
silent valley became acene Of hustle,
confusion and life and inside OF three
months 10 was reported that Creede had
a population OF 5000 souls.
At first the railroad did not reach to
within several miles Of the town. There
was little lumber to be had for building,
and even when conveyances were pro
vided they were all too inadequate for
the needs OF the growing camp. But
men fiiled with enthusiasm over the pros
pects made the best of the situation.
Many slept In cars, In sheds, and under
trees, while others paid exorbitant prices
20 the fortunate possessors OF buildings,
for the privilege OF sleeping on the floor
during the night.

Then honest toll the life blood stirr'd,
And caus'd the cheek to bloom.
No dyspertic then with languid ways,
In horT1d trailing skirts:
But full sound forms and sparkling eyes,
Unlike our modern firts.
The spinning over, NJ xt came the
weaving. Every farm hnue could beast
of It's loom, big square frame structu 9 i
occupying large space in the kitchen |
chamber. There was winding quills, a |
a task that, not unfreauently, kept one
OF the boys out Of school for week very |
much to his satisfaction. Day in and
day out the old loom shook and trembled
as the lathe was swung back and forth
and the shuttle few through the warp
on its mission, until at length the work
was done and DO, 90, Or 20 yards of sub
stantial linen cloth made the heart of the
tired operator glad. There was indeed a
| sigh of relief as the great TO wac I'M
wound from the beam and the good wo-
men realized that the work was done.
She could well afford q few days rest
before the next step in the program,
which was the cutting and making up of
the frocks and trousers for his lord hip
and the boys. The bleaching process
was no small part of the work that fol-
lowed the weaving. Three or four pair
of sheets were to be added to the lady's
stock of "Beddin." What with frequent
wetting AID drying in the sun for a num-
Der of days and lying out in the dew a,
nights the cloth became as the snow for
whiteness, and the process was complete
Where is the old veteran who fails to re-
member the refreshing GOODNESS of those
home made linen sheets of a hot sum-
mer's night? All the work herein sci
forth was done by the mothers of the
household with the single exception OF
dressing the fax.
But the old days are past. The hun
of the wheel is no longer heard. The
fax mill is thing of the past, and the
loom no longer finds place in the kitch
en- chamber. 1t would be hard to fl i'd
pair of old-fashioned linen sheets, HON,
woven and home bleached. The frocl
and trowsers of the old time farmer ant
his boys, have long since disappeared
and the story of the quaint ways of tn
old timers forms a strange tale to tn
jewellers of to-day. After all, the pres
ent may be better than the past. TIL
fax raising, dressing, spinning ant
weaving was q laborious task, and CAM

And yet, there are here and there
few wrinkled grandmothers of the Older
time, who will tell you that those oil
days and the duties they brought wer
far preferable to the occupations of tn
female of to-day. They see their grand
daughters spinning on their bicycles, an
memory goes back to the different s)r
of wheel that engaged the labor of thei
