strikingly like a bundle of yellow

Grated leaves. The limbs of this spe-

very twiglike, the coloring being suited
TO that particular species of vegetation
upon which the deceptive mimicker
subsists.
The walking stick" like the walk

WILL STILES lNIURE GREENEP
Took an Oath TO Have Life Ot
CananGa Copper King,

Will W. G. Greene, the Cananea
copper king be murdered by
Billy Stile who next to Burt Alvord
is the principal outlaw involved in
the Tombstone Jail break.
j Months before he gained his
liberty Stiles took a bitter oath
many times over to kill Greene if
ever he was again free man.
Although these oaths we're ut
tered with foulest imprecations
and with the determination of a
desperate criminal little heed was
paid to them at the time they were
made.
Now that Stiles is free those who
know of his avowed determination
to take the life of the cattle and
copper king wonder if the bad man
will keep his word.
1t is not because he believes that
Greene's millions helped to put
him behind the bars at Tom bstone
nor that he expected that they
ever would, that caused Stiles to
swear that be would have Greene's
life. Stiles seeks deeper re-
yenge.
Eighteen months ago B. A
Packard, manager of the Turkey
Track Cattle company, of which
Col. Greene is president, sold to
Greene a mum Der of ranches on the
American side of the line. Upon
one of these ranches Stiles squat
ted.
Greene and Packard entered suit
against him for jumping the
property and it is still an unsettled
question in the United States land
office at Tucson. 1t was for this
alleged injustice that Stiles has
sworn not only to have the life of
Greene, but that of Packard as
well
Mr.. Packard was in Phoenix
few days ago He gave little
credence to the mans vicious oath.
Frank B. Mason, Col. Greene's
stepson, and manager of the
Greene Cattle company, is in the
city. 1t is his opinion that Stiles
will never pause anywhere to hunt
trouble while he has II chance to
flee the country.
Col. Greene left a day or two
ago for the east. Those who
know of his peerless courage in,
the face of fire where there is an
actual danger know that he will |
loose little sleep over the posi-
bility of death at the hands of Bill
Sti les-Bisbee Miner.

Ho,v Exes Arc Tested.

The theory Of the optically perfect
eye is that parallel rays of light enter
Ing it are brought to a focus on its ret
ina; Any deviation from this condi
ton constitutes an error Of refractior
and requires for its correction an ard
fetal variation Of the luminous rays
The generally adopted method of de
termining the refraction Of the eye Is
TO use test types placed at such a dis.
tance that the rays of light emanating
from them may be regarded in practice
as parallel, and the deviation from par,
allelism necessary to correct a refrac.
tive error is effected by placing lens
in front Of the eye. There are many
other methods of changing the course
Of luminous rays coming from a test
object, and of these the single convex
lens is the simplest and most often
used in optometry.

LITTLE BARBADOS.
The Island Contains About the
Proudest People ON Earth.

PrOudcst People ON Earth.
None of the great nations of the
earth is half so proud of itself as the
little colony of Barbados, mere speclS
in the Caribbean, which calls Itself
"the little England Of the tropics"
Alone of all England's West Indian
isles, Barbados has belonged to Eng.
land ever since II was first colonized
by white men. 1t has never been con-
Quered by the enemy, as the others
have been. This fact naturally gives
the Barbadians a good conceit Of them
selves and indeed makes them Just
about the proudest people on earth.
When just before the Crimean war
England was hesitating whether she
should attack Russia the Barbadians
sent this message to the cabinet:
go ahead. Don't be afraid. Barba
dos is behind you"
King George was offered an asylum
by "little England when Napoleon
Bonaparte proposed to invade Eng.
land.
"If you were driven from England"
the Barbadlans wrote, "come here. You
will be safe with us to protect you"
When England was suffering her
worst reverses in South Africa the
Barbadians were not worried. They
knew that If matters really reached a
crisis Barbados would go in and finish
the business" as one of their newspa-
pers seriously put it.

DOUBLE MURDER NEAR GISELA.
Shefpmon Were Shot Down in
Camp---Man Under Suspicion

News of double murder com
mitted in Brush hollow on the
trail from Pleasant valley to Gise-
la, and near the latter place, was
brought in this evening by Arthur
Clal K, driver OF the Globe and
Tonic stage.
Meager details of the crime have
been learned from letter written
by ]. o, Hill, justice of the peace
at Payson, to District Attorney
Geo. r. Hill, which Clark brought
in, and also from the story told
him by Juan Portillo, stage driver
on the northern end of the route,
The victims were Berry young
man "a years of age who was in
charge Of his fathers band of
sheep, and Mexican boy, II
years old, whose father was EN-.
ployed by Berry as a herder.
The young men were killed in
camp, on the morning of Decem ber
%, when they we're getting ready
to go to Gisela to buy supplies.
They we're evidently shot with
out warning and killed instantly.
The Mexican was shot in the back
and the breast torn away where the
bullet left the body, There was
evidence that he had fallen into
the FIRE, from which he was after
wards dragged and gun placed in
his arm.
The father of the murdered
Mexican boy, who was some dis
tance off herding the sheep, saw
two men ride toward the camp
and then heard two shots fred
From the description of one of
these men given by the Mexican
herder, he is supposed to be a
goat man who lives in that section,
and he has probably been appre-
hended ere this by Deputy ] G.
Chilson and Ben Pyeatt, who went
from Payson to make the arrest.
Another lbeory held here is that
the murderers are cattlemen, who
were provoked to the commission
Of the crime by the invasions of
the range by tens of thousands of
sheep.
1t will be remembered that in
The summer Of 1902, Eugene B.
Packard a well known cattleman
was murdered in that section of
ronto basin, by Mexican sheep /
berder, who in now serving a life
sentence at Yuma. The murder of
Packard aroused great deal Of
llfeeling toward the sheep men by
he people of Tonto, and it is
hought that the murder of young
Berry and the Mexican boy was an
lct of vengeance Globe Belt.
Young Berry was the son of Mr..
md Mrs, VIM. Berry, prominent
people of Apache county, who
we're here at the time their son
vas murdered, visiting DR.. and
irs. W. E. Platt, of Stafford, Mr.
nd Mrs. W. W. Pace, of Thatcher
nd number of others. The news
vas a terrible shock to Mr.. and
lrs. Berry as they had no idea
bet their son had any enemies
rho would murder him.

The Clydesdale horse should walk at

miles an hour, and If he wants to trot
he should move straight and close,
with the points of the hooks turned in

not be wide between the thighs nor
should his fore legs be planted on the

bow,
With all the baseness which the God
demands,
If Gods curse were not on us, even now,
We could not thus stand by with ids
hands.
And see our treasures wrested from our
keeping;
Our souls are dead and we are blind or
sleeping.
We do not care for beauty-we-that
wind
That blatant trumpet Of our high state.
Not viewed sell the blood of Christ and
find
A cause for self-praise in It, WE'VE

The name-the thought of beauty. All
must share it,
The worlds contempt. which we so richly
merit.
The thunder of Niagara-they might
wake
The spirit Of some desert cold and bleak
But not this peoples heart. They cannot
break
The sleep of living death; they canot
speak
To ears too dull to heed the threatening
Spirit
whose voice would wsken terror gould

The Late Erwin Avery.

The death of Erwin Avery, city editor
of the Charlotte Observer. stirred the
entire state of North Carolina, and
friends In Birmingham were greatly
shocked on receiving the sad news. The
deceased had suffered from insomnia
caused by overwork or excess in smoking
and 1t was thought at first that he might
have died from the effects of the seda-
tive which a physician had prescribed,
but a letter received here from Charlotte
yesterday states that it was found upon
examination the sedative was not strong
enough to put Mr.. Avery to sleep. Heart
failure seems to have been the cause of
his death. The Observer. in paying a
tribute to Erwin Avery. says: 1T is not
an exaggeration of the fact to say that
he was dearer to the heart of the COM
munity than any man in 1t. He entered
more nearly into its life than any other
citizen and was more universally admir-
ed" The Ashville Gazette, the Raleigh
News and Observer and nearly all the
other papers of North Carolina printed
extended sketches of Mr.. Avery. and re-
ferred to him with tender sympathy.

a Privilege. Not a Right.

In case arising in Maryland the
United States supreme court has de-
cided that the privilege to vote in any
state is not given by the federal con-
stitution or by any of its amendments.
1t is not a privilege springing from
citizenship of the United States. The
Maryland legislature had provided that
a person coming into that state to re-
side should make the declaration Of
intent a year before he could be regis
tered as a voter. Against this pro-
vision a case was taken to the United
States supreme court, and the court
decided that Maryland had a right to
prescribe any regulations she desired
to make, provided, of course, she did
nothing in violation of the federal con-
stitution
The truth is, a state has a right to
confer the ballot as she will, provided
she steers clear of the Fifteenth
Amendment, which says: 1.-THE right
of the citizen of the United States shall
not be denied OF abridged by the
United States or by any state on &C.
count of race, color or previous condi-
ton of servitude." state could limit
the suffrage to the cross-eyed or the
moonstruck, because such a limitation
would not involve race, color or con-
dition. Voting is, in other words, a
privilege, and not one bit right, and
the privilege may be conferred as the
state may direct, provided it does not
draw the color line.
This is why the suffrage article of
1901 is wholly sound and constitu-
tional. 1t draws no color line-no
racial llne-no servitude line 1t opens
the door to white or black, provided he
be qualified in 4.leracy or property The
Maryland decision declares no new
doctrine, but it makes very plain the
fact that voting is privilege and that
no one has a right to demand 1t be-
cause he is n citizen of the United
States.
