~ THE TAN WITH A HOE"
Governor HurphY'S Address Before
 1he Prescott High School.

The address delivered by Governor Murphy before the graduating class of the Prescott high school On Thurs day night was an interesting and scholarly presentment of his view of Edwin Markham's poem 'The Man With the Hoe,'' the Inspiration for which Professor Markham imagined he drew from Millett's famous picture of the same title. Beginning his address the governor said:
 "To the stars through difficulties" Is your motto. Always bear it in mind: never be frightened by obstacles. and never turn back; ever onward and up- ward, let your course always be to- wards elevated citizenship and hon. orabIe station
 I have been given as my subject. the poem written by MT. Edwin Markham. to which we have just listened and which was so admirably read by the beautiful graduate, Miss Raible think the poet has grossly misrepre- sented the conception of the great French artist.
 THE MAN WITH THE HOE. Bowed down by the weight of cen-
 turies he leans
 Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face And on his back the burden of the
 world
 When MiIlet, devoted to his art, painted a perfect picture of a peasant laiborer of France, he did not know that he was presenting to the world an illustrated thesis upon human degra- dation and the problem of life; and that with his marvellous genius he was giving to the poets and philosophers of today an awful example to aid them in their arraignment of human sefsh- ness.
 It is very probable that the model chosen by him differed in no remark able way from other peasants of that country whose environments and manner of living were the natural re- suit of social and economic conditions which prevailed there. His genius shone brightest in the portrayal Of humble toilers and rural scenes. ''The Butter" and t'The Plowman" are ex- quisitely artistic paintings, true to nature and destful in their expression of peaceful life.
 The poet asks:
 Who made him dead to rapture and
 despair,
 A thing that grieves not and that
 never hopes,
 Stolid and stunned, a brother to the
 ox?'
 There is no evidence that the peas antry of which ''The Man With the Hoe" was typical were dead to rap ture and despair" nor that they were s'stolid and stunned" Their natures dull a=T hal ciT they were reasoning human beings and their enjoyment was such as fitted them. Their intellects had not quick

takes: who considers himself a Uc-
 tim of mans ingratitude, because the ltpri ght and thrifty decline to share
 with him the fruits of their honest labor. "He tells not, neither does he spin:" he assails the rich because they are rich, and holds them responsible for all the ills which his faults have brought upon him. He breaches from the street corners upon the SelfishnesS of man; he is ''tongued with censure of tAe worlds blind gresd;' lis rem edy is riot, his policy, revolution. He is the willing tool of unprincipled poiiIcal intrig iguers whose object is to unsettle government and obstruct pro gress; he leers with eXultant apprO- val at Markham's Man With the Hoe," because others are held wholly responsible for the degradation paint ed. Such men are the real nenace to enlightenment and happiness. lis they, and not the sim pie peasant of Millett who would shake the world with wfirlwinds of rebellion" if they dared; and Markham's phantom of degraded labor, and the fake theory of responsibility he teaches, make the men with hoes" who threaten the welfare of mankind and the peace of the world.

Now for the weather It is not so much hotter now than it usually is at this time of the yesr. My main Objec- tf3n to the heat is that it has come on SC suddenly. Heretofore it began warming up by degrees from the middle of March and people were given time to get accIimated But until the first Of last week the weather had been as cool and delightful as a Colo rado summer. To be suddenly dropped into a Cuban midsummer is trying to even the Salt River valley patience.
 Arizonians generally and Phoe- nicianS particularly, exercise great, if not commendable skill in concealing those features Of climate and re- sources which less secretive, but more enterprising people take pleasure in exploiting. I understand there is no provision made fer an exhibit at Omaha and that none is likely to be made Nor does any arrangement seem to be on foot to secure even slight representation at Paris, for which almost every other section of the United States is scrambTing. But with all the Salt River valleys art of concealment 1t cannot keep it's excel fences entirely under :. bushel, for the Los Angeles Times of a late issue says: Owing to the dry season, ap- ricots raised in this section are not of frst-class quality this season. Some of the finest apricots and peaches in the market came from Arizona. Eff teen years ago, when Arizona drew it's expensive fruit supply by express from California, who would have thought that Los Angeles would be importing fruit from the Land of Sunshine and Silver?"

 MT Wilkinson has seen mastcdon bones dug up in that part of the Mis- sissippi and within few miles of the old wall He argues that the lay Of the land hasn't changed since the mas todOns were planted in it; that the wall is later than the mastodons, and that therefore it wasn't used as a means of escape from floods. He thinks it more likely that it was a work of defence, or a grand viaduct leading up to an elevated place of pub lie worship He tells of another relic of antiquity in that region of which he had lately heard-the remains of a stone dam or fallen bridge across the Big Black river, three miles below AL len Station in Warren county. The stones which form this dam are visible at dead low water for a distance of 100 feet. The quarry they were dug from is half a mile away, and overgrown with fOrest.-Harper' Weekly.

HISTORY OF : l1.44.

The heart OF many )lored policy
player was made glsd yesterday morn
ing when "4.1l Al" came out in the
'red" book-the first time sin'> April

folk has been drawn.
The policy shops were hit exception
ally hard. 1t seems as if the previous
night had been productive of dreams OF
the kind that cause the playing oil

Thousands of dollars were paid F., WIZ

there was an informal but widospri I'd
Celebration of the momentous occasion.
Colored men who had won 5000 or more
or less on investments not to exceed 81

for jubilation, and money pc ed over
saloon bars at an unusually repid rate
Many dec )rated themselves in honor OF
their luck, and pedestrians in Safe and
Clark streets could tell by the ribbons
that adorned canes, and by the bout On
nieres won by colored swells that the
famous IL II A." or some ether popu
lar combination, had come out iu the
policy books.
1t Is singular that on this occ; ion,
as at previous times, but few white
policy players won in the drawing. The
packers of the policy books elways
dread the coming out of the gig, be-
cause the colored betf rs invariably
play it at the right time. It is not OF
record that on days when The combpa-
on is not winning one there is aLy
great amount of money placed on it.
This fact strengthens the superatitious
tendencies OF the black men.
The "411.44" gig mas boan famous
sill fifteen years ago, when, on
Christmas night, IL came out after it
had been played for thousands OF dol.
lars in every big city in the country.
Tradition h it that Chicago coiored
woman had dream which she told to
friend, with the advice to play the
numbers 4, II, A. In few hours the
counsel was spread among olored
policy players all over Chicago, was
telegraphed to every part of the UOited
States, and accepted with blind faith
and marvelously lucky results by the
maj ority of those who received it.
Having come into prominence in hol-
iday time, the gig is favolite choice

factor in guiding betto. To dream OF
