Mildred Eckles. Third Grade.)
! Spring is here at last after a long
winter season. Mother Earth is very
kind to all her children. She is softly
telling the little seeds to wake from
their long winter maps. She tells
them to walk out into the sunshine.
Mother Earth tells the sap to arise and
help the Oaby buds.
When the flowers awake they put on
their bright dresses. The rose, the
pink dress. violet the blue, dandel On
the yellow and easter lily the white
There are many other colors and
flowers.
The birds are also putting on their
new spring clothes. They have many
bright colors. The robin, the sky-lark,
the blue bird and the meadow lark
have already been heard pouring out
their songs of greatness The fishes
are now coming from the ocean to tell
the brooks and river of their adven-
lures.
The schools will now be busy going
out on tramps to see what is happen
ing to the sleepy trees and creatures.
The young flies and butterflies arc
coming into the large world.
Did you ever think W hat Gods little
creatures and insects do for us? The
birds eat the bugs and worms from
our gardens.

mental anxiety takes away vitality
and push and robs him of manhood
and power.
Worrying indicates a lack of conf
dence in our strength; it shows that
we are unbalanced, that we do not Law
hold of the universal energy which
leaves no doubt, no uncertainty. Tie
man who does not worry, who believes
in himself touches the wires of inf
mite power. Never doubling, never
hesitating, he is constantly reinforced
from the omnipotence that creates
planets aid suns.
The habit of worrying is largely a
physical infirmity; it is an evidence of
lack of harmonyin the mental system.
The we'll poised soul, tine self centred
man, never wabbles or hesitates. The
infinite balance wheel preserves him
from all shocks and all accidents and
uncertainty. Enough vital energy has
been wasted in useless worry to run
all the affairs of the world.

1T is said by correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun that West Virginia is
rapidly becoming more and more the
mecca of the negroes OF the south.
The climate of that state, as a whole,
is congenial to this race, and the

operation in almost every county, to-
gether with the extensive railroad
construction belng carried on, fur
nish ready, as well as lucrative, en-
ployment for negro laborers, of

Thousands of apparatuses for max
ing coffee have been invented. The
patent office at Washington is packed
with pots, etc, some of which cost $25
apiece. Some experts say boil the cof-
fee; some say don't boil it. Some for
eigners prefer to make it in a sauce
pan, and they have it as clear is crys-
tai and as strong as alcohol. While

drank coffee made of the dried leaves
OF the coffee tree instead of the beans.

Fault Finding Helps Nobody.

Contumely helps nobody, least of all
the one who advertises it. Pessimistlc
remarks dampen the enthusiasm OF
others, discourage honest effort and re-
act on the grumbler. Chronic fault
finders command no favor with en-
ployers or fellow employees and are
not the ones selected for advancement.
eious of these habits, they all figure
in the final results of life work, Jus t
the, same. Watch your chance re-
marks. Make them count for hope
and encouragement.

Don't Talk Politics.

| never knew a man to be successful
who was always talking politics.
Never allow yourself to dwell upon the
dark side of anything. You should re-
fuse to talk about politics. Learn to
talk up not down. Many business men
are chronic grumblers and fault find
ers. Money is always scarce with
them. Other men get into pess;-
mistlc rut, and never see brightness in
anything. 1t is impossible for poll
tlclans to prosper. Politics require
encouragement and sunshine. Regard
yourself as superior to the evils which
surround you. Look for the best SIDE
and never change.

The number of eyes of glass worn in
Gotham may account for the fixed and
CLASSY stare so common in street cars
and in ferryboats. Many visitors to
the great metropolis have possibly re-
marked that New Workers can stare
for many minutes at time with an
industry and steady purpose that is
seldom seen outside the fashionable
streets of London There it is easy
to account for the stare. The heavy
swells have usually a monocle glued
into one of their eye sockets. In
Gotham no one could explain the habit
on any other ground than vacancy of
what they call mind; but now it APP
pears that it is on account of the fact
that 10000 of the people each wears
a glass eye.

WILLIAMS, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH D. 1902
School Closed.

The public schools of the city closed yesterday, somewhat unex- pectedly, for the summer vacation. The intention had been to continue a month longer, but lack of funds, together with certain recent hap penings in the school, seemed to the trustees sufficient reason for discontinuing the present term.
 The NEWS has given the use of its columns to the teachers during the past school year in an endeavor to awaken a stronger interest in the school work; no doubt this has been greatly appreciated and has been productive of some good. As the guardian of the best interests of our city-school work included-the NEWS feels it its duty to make few remarks regarding the unpleasant ness which has recently been mani fest in the school. and which cul- minated Thursday morning in q disgraceful fight between two of the teachers-Messrs. Hinton and Gif- ford. According to best informa- ton the fight is the outcome of cer- tain trivial misunderstanding which have been brewing a spirit of jealousy and enmity between the two teachers.
 We have no desire to enter into a further discussion of the affair except to say that no matter who is in the right, men employed as instructors of children ought never so far forget themselves as to en- gage even in a quarrel, much less a fight. It is not only a disgrace to the school and city. but a most harmful example for the children.

Called to Rest.

John M. Fritter, one of the best known and most thoroughly be- loved citizens of Grant county, died Wednesday evening, March 12, at the Ladies' hospital, in Silver City, N. M., of septicama, after a brief illness of only six weeks. The indirect cause of death was due to an accident which befell MT. Fritter on Saturday, Feb. 2S, which, such was the irony of fate, was his 33d birthday. On that afternoon he was returning to his home in this city after visiting his mining prop erty at Santa Rita, when a short distance this side of Fleury's ranch, on the Central road, his horse bolted, throwing him between the wheel and the dashboard. The skin and part of the flesh was scraped from portions of his back and thigh and he sustained other injuries about the head. He was hastily DTOuBnl lO HE nOIlt anu InculCal aid summoned. For several weeks he progressed nicely, and then, after he had reached q certain stage, all progress stopped. He was re- moved to the Ladies' hospital and given every attention possible, but still his condition remained at a standstill until the last week when he grew steadily worse until death came to his relief.
 Funeral services were held last Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence, and in charge of the A. O. U. w., of which deceased was a member
 He was prominent in secret or ders, being Master Workman of the A. O. U. w. at the time of his death and also held various offices in the B. P. O. E., I. O. O. F., K. of P, and w. O. w. In the last named lodge he held a policy of $2,OOO, and like amount in the A. O. U. w.
 At one time the deceased was a partner in a mining business with MT. s. s. Derbyshire, now of the the Williams Hardware and Sta tionery company.

DOWN ON THE BORDER.
Doings of Some Williamsites at Douglas
 and Naco---A Boom Country.

Mrs. Wm. Ergmann received letter this week from her husband, who is now located at Naco, hav- ing a position as foreman of the painting outfit for the railroad com pany at salary of $1O.5O per day
 (Mexican money). He is very favorably impressed with that sec ton, and though unfortunate enough to contract a severe cold, which necessitated his entering the hospital for few days, is again at work and will remain there.
 In the letter he stated that Geo. Fleming, formerly we'll known here, is there, having a position in the boiler shops. Billy Kirk, also we'll known in Williams, has charge of the pumping plant at the mines and is doing well. D. M. Bunker, formerly in the employ of R. B. Burns when the offices were located here, is chief engineer of the road. while Gabe Cash is superintendent. Fred Twitty, who left here some weeks ago, is also in the employ of the company as freight clerk at salary of $175 per month (Mexi can money), and there are several other Williamsites there whose names he could not recall.
 Several from this section are located at Douglas-among them John Nalaskowski, w. J. Horc an. J. H. Commack, Prof. Taylor and Porter Torres.
 The following is an extract from a letter written by Porter Torres to Peter Schaffer of this city: "Just to let you know what kind of a country this is and to keep your friends from coming here, I will tell you it is no good. It is the worst kind of a place l ever saw. The wind blows all-same as Wins low; air full of rocks and sand. There are no wages here-carpen- ters receive $3.5O and $4; helpers s2.25; common labor $1.75. The people coming here are bug house on real estate; they think the place will beat Los Angeles in about six months. The town is laid out about two miles square. Lots are worth from $50 to $1 300. Every one from Williams has invested in one or myself included. There are no accommodations here at all; people come here on one train and go out on the next. Rent is very nigh and prices are about the same as in Williams I may be giving the place the worst of it, but not very much-"

DORMANT MONEY.
Lawful Ownership I'm the
English Courts.

A great deal Of money becomes dor
mant through the carelessness or for
getfulness of the owners. When Mr.
Goschen's conversion and redemption
scheme of 1887 came. into operation
the Bank of England notified $4,000
holders of consols that their per
cents were no longer 3 per cents. No
fewer than 1880 letters failed to
reach the stockholders to whom they
were addressed; tie people were
dead, and their relatives were un-
known, says Chambers Journal One
person who could not be found held
consols amounting to upward Of
f1S7,593: and over 40 possessed C TO-
600 each; and this money awaits law
full ownership, A very singular case
of a stockholders forgetfulness led
to suit in chancery some years ago.
\ lady who had attained the venerable
age Of 9s died a Marseilles. For years
she had practically lived on money
borrowed from her relatives under the
impression that she possessed no
means of her own. Only after she
had died it transpired that a sum of
$4,000 was standing in her name in
the funds, and also 100000 of accumu-
lated dividends.
