Had the New York editor con

AN INTERESTING PAPER.
Mrs. Ii. v. Cushman on Advantage of

Club Work for Women
The following paper was read
by Mrs. B. V. Cushman of Phoenix

ton of the Women's Clubs, the
subject being advantage of Club
Work for Women" and published
in the GUARDIAN by request Of the
members of the Sahuara Club:
When every metropolitan news

clubs it would be superfuous to
offer any apology or argument for
their existence, but we may, for a
minute, study this movement in
its sweep, together with the mo-
tives and natural instincts unlying
it.

Billy Rice and a Pin.

Billy Rice, negro minstrel, used to
tell the story of a man who picked up
pin as he was leaving the office of
great merchant after an unsuccessful
quest for work.
The merchant, seeing the mans ac-
ton from the window, called him back
and gave him employment, which kind
ness he repaid by becoming owner of
the entire business in an incredibly
short time.
Billy used to end his story by say
ing that he tried that scheme once
when he was looking for work, dropping
pin carefully on the floor as he en-
tered. He stated his wants to the pro-
prietor, who not only had no employ
ment to offer him, but remarked to his
partner as Rice picked up the pin:
Say, if that fellows SO small as to
steal a pin off the floor, how much do
you think he'd leave in my till?"

Several pupils tainted all were more
or less shocked, and the audience of
1900 persons was thrown into con-
sternation. Miss Keen alone was I'M

the exercises were resumed. The light

Hugo ana the Barber.

WATER RIGHTS lNvIoLATE.
Springs and Wells In Palestine Are

b
Water is the most precious thing in
Palestine, and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe.
Most Of the wells are artificial Rich
men at very great expense have CHS
eled basins and reservoirs out of the
rocks to receive the flow from springs,
and in many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone q hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments to
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts of granite.
The temple of Solomon has vanished
forever, but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filed with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham

A Story Which Throws a Strong
Light on Their Character,
The Times Of India tells the follow
Arabs Of Yemen. A man of Zaraniks
who several times cut the telegraph
lines and who was punished more than
once was caught on one occasion by
an Arab sheik in charge Of the lines.
The sheik intended to send him to
Needy for imprisonment, but the wife
of the accused came in and stood as a
guarantee for his future good behavior.
The sheik accepted the bail and re-
leased him, but shortly afterward he
again resorted to his old practice of
cutting the wires and bolted away to
another village at distance of days
march, where he had another wife,
The sheik then sent for his first wife,
who stood security for him, and told
her he would disgrace her among the
Arabs if she failed to bring in her hus-
band.
The woman asked the sheik not to
"spread the black Sheet "a custom of
the country when any one commits
breach of trust until the following
day. She started that night, taking
sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus-
band was staying. She found him
asleep in his abode and stabbed him,
cut his throat and carried his head
back to her home. The next morning
she went to the sheik and presented
the head Of her husband, saying: "Here
is your criminal, and am freed from
