lete from st. Louis, captured the lions
share of the prizes. He won both the
running broad jump and the hundted-
yard dash. and finished second 10 Hob
son, Of Philadelphia, IN the three
hundred yard run. Flippin, Of New
York, met an unexpected defeat in the
half'mile handicap He very foolishly
set the pace from she start and was
beaten out by J. W. Lawson of New
York. La Wson's wind was rem arkabiy
good for the Leavy condition Of the
track. Lawson started ia the fifty
yard dash confident of pushing Graves
hard for the first place, but the little
Virglnlsn romped in a winner by two |
yards. The biggest surprise Of the day
was q, N. Taylor, the robust represen-
stiVe from Alabama, who captured the
high jumu with leap of feet 81
inches Ohsse tied with Harris asd
RoEer for third place. Beason of
Washington, D. c., was second.

lound himself in distress and was
obliged to quit. With Whippez out.

the field. He had lead Of twenty five

to Florence the next day and was there when Governor Murphy arrived from Mesa. The governor was met by d brass band and was received in the most enthusiastic manner. He was ts- corted by the populace to a hotel and thence to the court house. where the meeting was to be held. The Florence court room, by far the largest in the county. was filed in every nook and corner and not fewer than 15O men were crowded in the adjoining lobby. The court room had been most elabo- rately decorated. Judga DOan pre- sided and after music by the band and a song in Spanish by Miss Ramona, MT. Morrison delivered an address of forty minutes. dealing mainly with national questions.
 Governor Murphy wSuS thcn intro Guctd. Mir Morrison said he had ire quenuy heard the governor in this and in his former campaign, but that night he surpassed himself. His address, of an hour and half. was received in the most encouraging way, especially that part of it relating to n subject of vital interest to the people of Florence and vicinity, the construction of the S;In CarlCS and the TlWin ButtcS reservoirs. There had been d false impression ill Florence regarding the governors at titude toward ftInem. It had been re- ported that 1ie had opposed them. Upon this point he SGid that he was on rec ord as favorinE the ceding Of arid lands, but he strongly favored federal aid. He believed that ti1e cession of thc lands would more quickly result in reservoir construction, but his views on this subject could not apply to t'he San Carlos and Twin ButteS projects, since they were government enterprises. He favored t1lerl most heartily, believed them to De wholly practicable and pledgcd q himself to use his influence with the government to carry them to competition He would do this, he said, whether elected delegate or not.
 MT. Morrison said he never saw a more responsive audience and never saw so great effect wrought at a polit- ical m@riting.
 At it's close a large crowd gathered at the hotel while a team was being made ready to take the governor to Casa Grantie. whence he went to Tue son. As he was driven away he was wildly cfleercd by half of Florence.
 MT. Morrison will leave this morning for the north, and making speeches by the way, will close the campaign at Williams on Monday night.

so fond of pointing back. The willy SER

the spirit which animates him is that OF
the malicious and tricksome Ahrlman,
who takes delight in going abou, after
the good creator OrmuZd and spelling

with the terrible Satan, the accusing
angel who finds out mems evil thoughts
and deeds. He is simply a mischief
maker. and the punishment meted out
to him for his mlsch hef reminds one OF

stories which tell why the mole is blind

some of his peculiar attributes. AS a
