tale How Two Friends Helped Eacfi
other IN Arizona.
The story Of Damon and pythias is
recalled by the tie of friendship bind
ing two Arizona cowmen.
Shorty Dallas and Joe Roberts came
TO Arizona from the Middle States and
settled in the Blue River country, near
Clifton, which to this day remains
secluded and more or less untouched
by civilized ways. Their friendship
had no limitation, so that when Rob-
erts killed cattle that belonged to an
other man Dallas also broke the Jaw
to aid him.
Roberts was caught red-handed, but
with big six-shooter in either hand
he shot his way through a circle OF
peace officers who surrounded him
With the officers hot after him Roberts
rode to the cabin Of Dallas at a mad
gallop.
Dallas assured the posse in pursuit
that he had not seen Roberts and be-
lieved he had fed in another direction.
His statement was accepted i'll good
faith and no further search was made
there.
Roberts rested TRANQUILITY in Dailass
cabin while the search went on. Then
he filled his belt with cartridges.
stocked his sack with 'ierky.' and
wendell his way toward that bourne
from which gun men seldom return
Mexico.
When he thought his pal was safe
Dallas went to Clifton and. ignorant
of the law, told the joke of the undoing
of the posse. The victim of he joke
Jake Parks, heard the amusing tale
and straightway arrested Dallas for
the renitentiary offense of harboring
a ugitive.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

senator Ayers Crack Motor.

Representative Sibley must now take
the dust occasionally of other Congress
sional automobiles. He retains his
laurels as an automobile pioneer among
the statesmen on the hill, but Senator
Alger has a powerful touring car
Henceforth it will be driven frequently
in the capital city. 1t is a speedy
machine, and Mr.. Sibley must take the
pick of his stable to show it the road.
A few days ago the Senator directed
that the touring car be sent by freight
from his home in Detroit to New York.
From that point his sons, Fred Alger
and Russell A. Alger, Jr., have taken
the machine in hand, and have been
'trying it OUT on the 22S miles of pike
between here and the metropolis Ihey
are already in town, after quick trip,
and the Senator prides himself On hav-
ing a modern vehicle that is fit to try
conclusions with the fnest.-Washing

WISE WORDS.

Great results, like great rivers have
their origin in small beginnings.
Faithfulness in small things i'll life
qualities us for the things which are
great.
We are remembered by what we
have done, rather than by what we
have said.
To ignorantly or wilfully ignor the
law of God, is to incur both His dis
pleasure and judgment
Little deeds of kindness performed
on earth are the jewels which shall
adorn our crowns in heaven.
True happiness is realized only when
we are conscious of having discharged
our duty toward God and man.
The spring time of life is the proper
time of life to SOW the seed that Will
ripen into harvest of eternal glory.

New Railway signals.

A railway in Germany has recently
tried with success a new system OF
signals at grade crossings. Each Sig
nal box contains a small electric mo-
tor actuating a hammer, which strikes
a bell. AS the bell is struck sixteen
candle-power light is turned on, which
makes visible the words "Zug kommt
meaning Train coming" The APP
paratus is automatically worked by
series of electric track contacts made
by the train. The first contact, rs the
train approaches, turns on the double
alarm: the second stops the alarm
when the train has passed The danger
point, and the third resets tn appa-
ratus in readiness for the next train.

LlTTLE MISS SNOW. sPINsTER


Little Miss Snow is on the trot
IRON end to end of the village street.
w henever Fou open the blind you meet
1er sunny face and her smile so sweet.
/ wonder il she is here to stay,
10 visit the sick and poor Away?
"a headed bag bangles down beside
Ihe trim lite figure trotting along.
/, wonder if it's unwise or wrong,
10 asll-dd she ever hear lovers song?
Perhaps-but then it was long ago:
For now she is just our little Miss
Snow.
Every door is open to her,
she with her step so short and quick.
She with her shoes that cickety-click
Along the walk for the poor and sick,
She with her way so soft and mild,
Soothing the grown folk and the child.
Under her little gray cloak is hid
a heart that's tender and good and true
Under the peak of her hood of blue
pair of clear eyes look out at you
And she smiles when passing, whenever
YOU find
Her face when you look beyond the
blind.
The tap Of her fingers is soft and low
When she comes to the door where sick
folks are.
She never brings bother. or fret, or jar,
Nothing to hurt and nothing to mar
Only quiet, comfort. release
From brooding pain-and her medi-
cine's peace.
Many day and many year
Out of the shadow she comes to delight,
Out of her cot that is cosy and white,
Out Of her gate in the dead of the night,
Out of her garden of roses to bring
A smile to drive away sorrow and sting.
Little Miss Snow, our spinster sweet,
Tender and good and true-and great!
Open her door and wide her gate,
Ever on hand, early or late.
You scatter sunshine wherever you go,
Dear little spinster little Miss Snow

York Sun.

a9S&SGEE4sSS&H Was Aat' roullu' IrIespoh-
TX. .AS sible fox terrier"pup. Both
& - g his short ears and his
x bobbed tail were carried at
Mw7H*8% an impertinent angle, and
he stopped every few minutes in his
journey down North avenue to savage
ly worry bit of waste paper or other
moving debris in the gutter.
1t was plain that he had run away
from home. He had all the devil-may-
care air of a small boy on his first run
away escapade. A kindly faced wom-
an, standing ON her doorstep, tried to
beguile him into the house, where she
could read the name on his collar and
send word to his master. She loved
dogs herself and knew what it meant
to have the family pet lost in a great
city.
But the fox terrier pup was not to
be beguiled by soft words OF even by
the offers of piece of cake. He had
had his breakfast only half an hour
before and was in no mood for further
stuffing. Instead of wagging his tail
and making friends with the kind lady,
as a polite little dog should have done,
he backed off to the edge of the curb,
made All awful face and parked in
most saucy and ridiculous way. Then
presently he ran ON down the street
"Some little tike will be crying for
his lost puppy this morning" said the
woman to her husband as she went
back into the house.
Half a block further down the puppy
heard something which sounded like a
big humble bee buzzing away up the
street. Now the puppy had been born
and brought up in the country, ana
this was his first experience of city life.
He remembered that it was great fun
TO bark at and chase humble bees, SO
he decided to run out and scare this big
one that was coming down the street
so fast
Out the puppy ran and sat down right
between the rails, facing the oncomine
trolley car The motorman was kino
hearted enough, but he had to run at
certain rate of speed or lose his job
and. besides, it is a common trick FOL
dogs to sit in front of trolley car III

TO lump out of the way. So he did no
reverse the current, simply ringing hi
big gong to scare the puppy Off TIL
track
The puppy dropped his tail and hi
ears. and his bark of defiance gave wa.
to a pitiful yelp of fear. He started L
run for his life, and if he had not beel
such a foolish little puppy he Woul'
have started in plenty of time. Bu
instead of jumping over the rails to
place of quick and easy safety, tn
frightened pup ran straight down III
track before the onrushing car.
The motorman threw on his brake
and tried bis best to stop the car, but
was no use. First the end of the pro
