Death of Francisco Gradias.

Francisco Gradias, a native of
California, aged about so years, who
has been a resident of Arizona for a
number of years, died in Holbrook
on Thursday of this week. Mr..
Gradias was well-known in this
community and was honored by all
as straightforward, honest and
upright citizen, and man for
whom no one had anything but re-
spect. He had been i'll several
months previous to his death and of
late seemed to be improving and
was in fair way to recover, but
the sudden change in the weather
caused relapse and put an end to
his suffering. The deceased was
buried Friday in Holbrook GENE
terry and his remains were followed
to their last resting place by num-
Der of his sorrowing friends. By
his death Holbrook loses one of her
most respected citizens. Peace to
his ashes, and when on the judg-
ment day, he knocks on the portal
for admission, may the angel OF
mercy say to him, ENTER, thou good
and faithful servant, for thy deed:
have been we'll performed"

The Third Meeting of the HoIbrook
Literary Club.


The Literary Club held its third
regular meeting last Sunday even
ing and in spite of the unusually
cold weather there was large num-
Der in attendance. After the road
ing of the secretary's minutes Judge
Jackson read a thoughtful and
scholarly essay which was ' ry il
structive. The next number on the
program was song by Misses Ellen
and Julia Scorse and Will Scorse
which was appreciated by all. Miss
Ida Mooney recited Teaching Pub
JIG School, followed with a song
.by the audience. Mrs. DeRosear
read a selection entitled THE Vision

SCHOOL COLUMN.
Items under this heading are furnished b,
the scholars OF the HoIbrook school. =

Rosey and Jimmie Scorse and
Kester Rhodes are numbered among
the sick the present week.
Ellen Scorse has returned to
school after an absence of two
weeks.
The sudden change of the
weather which leaves a layer of
snow covering the ground is very
acceptable to the school children.
Lee Rhodes informs US he intends
to go to San Diego in the near flu
ture to attend a commercial college
at that place. His presence will
be greatly missed as he is daily
attendant ct school.
The girls have found a most
pleasant resort some little distance
west of the school house. There
they gather at the different inter
walls and sometimes to their CON
venience and the Inconvenience of
the teachers, they fail to hear the
soft and gentle tones of the bell as
it calls them to duty.
The program which the school
was TO give on Washington's birth
day has been unavoidably post
poned until the close of the school
in the fore part of March, but we
hope to have small exercise on the
22d of this month nevertheless.
Fred Moss is becoming quite a

Professor Ghrncr's story OF NelIi,

Profcssor Ghrner's story Of NeIli,

Monkeys are always happy II then

play with. Professor r. L. Garner. IN
his Apes and Monkeys" says that he
recalls 10 Investment which ever yield.
cd greater return in pleasure than q
certain little pocket match safe, which
cost - cents. He gave It to a little
monkey, Nellie by name, after puttina
into II a small key 70 make IL rattle
and some bits Of candy.
She ratified the box and found much
pleasure in the noise. l showed het
how to press the spring in order to
open the box, but her little black fin.
gers were not strong enough to release
the spring.
However, she caught the Idea and
knew that the spring was the secret
which held the box closed When she
found that she could not open IL with
her fingers, she tried 1t with her teeth.
Failing In this, she turned to the wall
and standing upright on the top of
her cage, she took the box I'm both
hands and struck the spring against
the wall until the lid few open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result, and for the huudredth time at
least closed the box for her to open
It again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was in her cage, and
through It's meshes she could not reach
the wall. She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force 1t
open.
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires of
the cage, she discovered a block OF
wood about Elk inches square. She
took this and mounted her perch. Bal.
sncing the block on the perch, she held
It with the left foot, while with the
right foot she clung to the perch. with
her tail wound around the meshes Of
the cage to steady herself, she care.
fully adjusted the matchbox In such q
manner as to protect her fingers from
the blow. Then she struck the spring
against the block Of wood, and the lid
Gew open.
She fairly screamed with delight az
she held up the box.

Story Told of Abel Erasmus, the
BOer, and Lord WOIseIey.
A good story is told of the old Boer,
Abel Erasmus, and Lord Wolseley,
then Sir Garnet Wolseley, in connec.
tion with the part Erasmus took in
Wolseley's campaign in 1879 against
Sekukuni, the chief of the Bapedis. on
the borders Of Swaziland. After the
capture of Sekukuni he was immedi.
ately brought before Sir Garnet Wolse.
ley, who asked him how he, 4 misera.
BILE Kaffir living in a cave, dared to
defy the great queen of England. The
chief replied that he had been insti-
gated to do so by Abel Erasmus.
Sir Garnet In describing the scene at
a public dinner given TO him at Preto-
ria on his return from the campaign
said that he wished there and then to
let Abel Erasmus know that II ever he
found that Erasmus had been lncitins
any chief to levy war against England
and he was able to lay hands on him
Abel Erasmus would hang as high as
Haman.
A few days after the dinner Sir Hen
ry Brackenbury. Sir Garnet's military
secretary, was sitting in his Office
when a tall, bearded Boer entered and
asked permission to speak With him.
81 am Abel Erasmus" he said. "and
have very important business to do
here"
He explained that he had come to
see Sir Garnet Wolseley. for be had
heard that Sir Garnet had said that II
hs could lay hold OF him he would hang
him, and so be had come to be hanged.
Sir Garnet was In the next room. and
Sir Henry Brackenbury thought 1t
would be advisable to consult him on
the subject. Sir Garnet, however, hap
pened to be too busy at the moment to
see anybody. and Sir Henry after re-
Election persuaded his angry visitor to
take his leave and allow the hanging
TO stand over for the time.
