Chapter fourteenth

K listened gravely to the recital
of Claus, stroking his beard the
while with the slow, graceful
motion that betokened deep thought
He nodded approvingly when Claus
told how the KNOCKS and Fairies had
saved him from death. and frowned
when he heard how the Awgwas had
stolen the children's toys At last he
said:
"From the beginning 1 have approx
ed the work you are doing among the
children of men, and it annoys me that
your good deeds should be thwarted by
the Awgwas. We immortals have no
connection whatever with the evil crea-
lures who have attacked you Always
have we avoided them, and they, in
turn, have hitherto taken care not
to cross our pathway. But in this
matter find they have interfered with
one of our friends, and will ask them
to abandon their prosecutions. as you
are under our protection
Claus thanked the Master Woodsman
most gratefully and returned to his
valley. While AK, who never delayed
carrying out his promises, at once trav-
eled to the mountains of the Awgwas
There, standing on the bare rocks, he
called on the King and his people to
appear.
Instantly the place was filed with
throngs of the scowling Awgwas, and
their King, perching himself on point
Of rock, demanded fiercely:
"Who dares call on us?"
1T is I, the Master Woodsman of the
World" responded Ak.
"Here are no forests for you to
Claim cried the King angrily. 1--WE
owe no allegiance to you, nor to any
immortal!'
THAT is true replied Ak calmly
"Yet you have ventured to interfere

valley.
They threw the stolen playthings into
one of their lonely caverns, and quite a
heap of toys accumulated before Claus
became discouraged and gave up all
attempts to leave the Valley. Then
children began coming to him, since
they found he did not go to them, but
the wicked Awgwas flew around them
and caused their steps to stray and the
paths to become crooked, so never a
little one could find way into the
Laughing Valley.
Lonely days now fell upon Claus, for
he was denied the pleasure of bringing
happiness to the children whom he had
learned to love. Yet he bore up brave

would come when the Awgwas would

completed he stood it OH a shelf he had
built for that purpose When the shelf
became filled with rows of toys he

Often as he glanced at this array Of
childish treasures the heart of good
old Claus became sad, SO greatly did he
long to carry the toys to his children.
And at last, because he could bear it
no longer, he ventured to go to the great
Ak, to whom he told the story of his
persecution by the Awgwas and begged
the Master Woodsman to assist him.

GENERAL MILES ON THE STUMP

General Miles is to take the stump for the demo-Iatic presidential ticAze--
 He offered his services to the campaign managers. and they were accepted. So General Miles will appear at demo craGc meetings as a volunteer among itne democratic speli-biuders. General Miles will be an interesting figure in the campaign. He is an old republican. He is @ soldier or the civil war. He was the commanding
 general of the army during the Phil ippina war. But he is in bad TepUte with the republicans, has an-agOn-zed most of his comrades Of the -ivil war, and is the only commanding general Of
 an American army that ever traduced his own soldiers.
 General Miles cannot talk to demo crats of the attitude which he took on republican questions while he was a republican. He cannot boast of his record as an officer iD the '-ivI war; because that record is full Of unpleas- ant reminders to a large contingent of the democratic party. It also is q ques- ton whether he himself will care to revive the controversies Of the last four years in Washington.
 When the democratic campaign man asers in 1900 made it a point to assalI the reputation of our volunteer army
 in the Philippines, General Miles as sisted them. When democratic sen- ators atal-ked the army in 1901 and 1902, General Miles was accused of giving them the material on which they based their islanders and mis- | representations.
 The slandered soldiers came from every state in the union. They came from Indiana, where it is said, General Miles will make speeches. They came from Michigan, where General Aiger's s friends, democratic as well as repuoI- | cans, still hold a grudge againsC. Gen | eral Miles. They came from Illinois, | from New York, Colorado and Kansas, and wherever there is one of them ther l is intense feeling against all who sIan- dered them.
 How will it profit, then, the demo- cratic party to put General Miles upon l the stump? What can he say that will help the party? What can he say to keep the democrats in line2 What can
 he say to induce republicans to vote | the democratic ticket? Nothing. l General Miles. however, is the most distinguished sorehead in/the United ] States. Among all the disgruntled and disappointed politicians of the time, he stands first, and he may use this oppor- itunity to air his grievances before the i people. But will that make any votes
 for the democratic party? Chicago In Iter-Ocean.

proper reasons were not given to force the attendance of the children or pros ecute their parents or guardians as the law provides.
 The law is too long to be reproduced at this time but the basis of the reg ulations concerning truancy is found in section 101 of Chapter eleven and is as Follows:
 Every parent, guardian or other per son in the territory of Arizona, having control of any child or children be- tween the ages of eight and fourteen years, shall be required to send such child or children to a public school. or private school taught by a competent instructor, for a period of at least twelve weeks in each year six weeks of which time shall be consecutive; provided, that such parent. guardian or other persons having control of such child or children shall be excused from such duty by the school board, of the district whenever it shall be shown to its satisfaction that nne of the follow ing reasons exists therefor. to wit"
 Then follows the sections -eciting the reasons, the manner Of enforcing the law, the penalties, etc.
 The determination to begin rigid campaign for the enforcement Of the truancy laws followed an investigation by school director Dr. Ancu Martin, that gave some rather startling results.
 It was found that the school census taken last spring totalled about 19oO between the ages of six and twenty one. Presumably the most of those enumerated were here during the pre- Ceding, or last school year. yet 9 can CellatOn of the names left a list of about 600 who were not enrolled in the public schools at any time last year
Arizona republican., 1904-10-11

and over 400 were not enrolled in any school either public or private. A sim liar comparison with the enrolment of the schools the present year shows over 5O0 names of children between 8 and If, shown in the spring census, whose names do not now appear on the rolls of any city school either public or pri- vate. Of this number some pe4haps have moved away, a few are not back from their summer vdcations and a few may be accounted for in other ways. But in any event there are some hun dreds who ought to be in school and who are not in school Parents and guardians should take an interest in the matter before they are embarras- Sed by the steps necessary tp be taken in the enforcement of the law.

A Practical Invention.

One of our townsmen, Charles II.
Daily, has perfected and had patented
an invention which has been on the
market for some little time and is
me eating with great success wherever
offered for sale. It is horseshoe into
which are fitted movable steel calks.
The shoe is fitted to the foot of the
hcise. where it remains indefinitely,
and the patent calks are easily fitted
to the shoe, enabling them to be re-
moved and different kinds of calks re-
placed according to the condition Of
the roads. There is no question of
the success of the invention, as it is
having large sale and is being high
" praised by horse owners. The par
ticular advantage lies in the cheap
ness of reshoeing horses, and in the
fact that the horse owner is able to
reshoe his horses himself without 60
ing to q shop, which often causes him
great inconvenience. The invention
is strong, practical. aud can be sold ut
. low figure. 1t will doubtless bring
large returns for MIR. Daily.

NEXT LECTURE COURSE NUMBER.
The Noted Philadelphia Orator, Prof. Lee
Francis Lybarger, at the Grand
March 7th.


The Decorah Lyceum Bureau have
secured as the next number of the lec-
ture course for this city Prof. Lee
Francis I,ybarger, of Philadelphia,
with his famous lecture on "How to
be Happy This lecture is to take
the place of Prof. Lane. who it will
be remembered, was taken sick on his
way to Decorah, and had to cancel
his dates. The tickets and seats re-
served for Prof. Lane will hold good
for Prof. Lvbarger. Those who have
the matter in charge believe they havo
secured q splendid lecturer in Prof.
Lybarger. After q very successful
career as a lawyer and public speaker
he has been induced to take up lecture
work, and has every rywhere been re-
ceived as one Of the greatest lecturers
IN the country. 1t is believed that he
will keep up the high standard of the
course.
The remaining number Of the course
will be announced soon. Attempts are
being made to secure one Of the best
speakers Of the nation. and we are
assured that the closing number will
be one of the best of the course.

homes in the county. There was q
whole Car load of them, of all styles
and prices, and they have been un-
packed and are now OH exhibition and
sale at the branch house in this city,
opposite Ben Bears. This popular
machine has for many years been re-
cognized as the best sewing machine
on the market, it has the latest and
best appliances, the best workmanship p
in manufacture, and the reputation of
lasting the longest and giving the best
of satisfaction. The popular manager,

SHAKESPEARE'S TWELFTH NIGHT"
At the Grand Opera House Next Friday
Night, March 4tf.

A scenically spectacular revival OF
Twelfth Night" has been made by
Manager Jules Murry in which Miss
Marie Wainwright appears as Viola.
There can De no question about the
great excellence and the genuine
merit of this production in all respects
lit is q revival which will compare
more than favorably with any of its
predecessors. The scenery is so
elaborate that it must be looked upon
as gorgeous spectacle. The same is
applicable to the costuminR. In the
matter Of light effects as a matter OF
course, this revival is far in advance
of any previous effort. for the simple
reason that stage lighting has become
an art in itself in present day produc-
tions, and of course Twelfth Night"
is equipped with the finest modern
light effects and appliances. This does
not imply that the chief feature Of the
revival is it's scenic equipment. The
foremost Shakespearean actress of the
present day, Miss Marie Wainwright,
appears in dual role, and veritable
star cast is in her support.
