MESA

The silver medal contest of the w. C. T. |. was held before large and ap- preciative audience at the Baptist church Friday night. The programme was one of the most interesting ever given and all of the pieces were so well rendered that the judges were long time in rendering their decision. and for a time 1t was thought that three of the contestants would have to recite again SO that the prize could be allotted. But the decision was finally reached. and everybody was satisfied that the judges did their best to decide on the merits of the speakers.
 The gathering was called to order by Mrs. Telford in q few appropriate words of explanation and welcome. Rev. Mir. Farr of the NJ. E. church led in the invocation, the audience stand ing, after which all sang America MT. Walbridge of Phoenix made the opening talk in the interest or the w. C. T.

EASY ENOUGH.

A-certain member of parliament has expressed a pronounced disbelief in most of the wonderful tales told of the precocity of children. He contends that the stories are usually manufac- tured by other persons. with the sole object of making amusing reading. Once. in a while, however, his theory receives g setback by something in his own experiences, and he confesses that he has come across some genuine humor and some unconscious witti- cisms. One such was brought to his notice recently.
 A Sunday school examination was in progress, and the examiner put this question:
 What did Moses do for living while he was with Jethro?"
 Following long silence. little voice piped up from the back of the room:
 Please, sir. he married one of Je- thro's ughters."-Youth's Compan- ion.

ABOUT TITLED PEOPLE.

The birth of "a son to Prince and Princess Albert of Belgium gave the greater satisfaction. to King Leopold $ subjects because recent disappoint- ments in Russia and Italy had made some people fear that the Belgian sue cession might also be left in an unde- cided condition. by the arrival of . princess instead of prince. In Hol- land and in Spain, where expectations still prevail, girl babies have their well come in the royal family. for they can inherit in default of male heirs. Prin- cess Albert of Belgium, like her equal ly fortunate sister. Princess Rupprechr of Bavaria. also the mother of a vaiu- able boy. Is the granddaughter of Dom Miguel, once pretender to the throne of Portugal, who married rather late in life, after his penirsular adventures were over. and left an interesting fam fly of one son and six daughters.
 Some of his descendants promise to hold very high places among European royalties-two babies whosmay become kings being among the number. That which dispossessed first families lose in one way they occasionally gain in another through fortunate marriages. Though the Comtesse de Paris will hardly see her eldest son. the Due d'Orleans. become king of France. yet her eldest daughter is queen of Portu- gal and mother of the heir of a throne. Another daughter is duchess of Aosta. holding a high position in Italy.
 Very unlikely is it that the count of Caserta will be hailed as king of Ma ples. though he is an immense improve ment on his father. the famous Bomba. i. but his children are making great matches. and one of his sons is the husband of the princess of Asturias.

member its beautifully decorative effect

whose name is still withheld. at his own

the restoration of this painting. The

some correspondence, to q committee OF
American artists resident in Europe. Mr..

first of July, 1909 Through Influential
friends in Rome he was able to secure
the extraordinary privilege of making
full-size copy in the Vatican itself. with
Raphael's superb fresco constantly under
his eyes. The authorities OF the Vatican
never allow any copy to be made of the
precise size of the original, and give per-
u1its. as a rule. only for much reduced
proportions. But to Mr.. Brock they
conceded the permission to deviate from
it only four or five inches in height and
