BURGLARY OUTDOORS.

A fire alarm was rung up Wednesday evening and the fire company made a run for the residence of F. T. Pomeroy, making especially good time in getting out. The scare came from burning soot in the fireplace chimney, shoot ing into the air in flames twenty feet high above the roof. Mrs. Pomeroy, armed with a bucket and broom kept the falling balls of soot from commu- nicating to the carpet. E. l.. Pomeroy made the run to the house when the alarm was sent in and when he found only the soot burning he went back and met the fire company on the cor ner of Main and Robson streets and they returned to the department. F. T. Pomeroy desires to take this oppor- tunity of thanking the boys and friends for their good efforts butts glad they they were not permitted to turn the chemicals on the house.

MESA
HIGHLAND CANAL IN REPAIR.


 The work on the Highland canal will be completed it is thought tonight and the teams now employed will come down. F. T. Pomeroy manager, ac- companied by w. A. White drove up the canal Thursday and inspected the work. He found the work being rush ed and everything progressing nicely. There were twenty teams and and 26 men employed. A part of the work is being done by the river. The head of the canal is in fine shape, but about one quarter mile below the river was driven across to the canal by a break in the Arizona and tore the north bank of the canal out, and filled up the canal with sand for about four feet. A narrow cut has been made through the sand and a large stream of water turned in, a break was made in the canal below and the water is doing the. rest, with little help from a man with a shovel. As there is an abundance of water in the river now that the Arizona and Salt River and Appropriators canal and the Utah are dry, a good stream will probably be maintained in the Highland for some time to come. There is already some land planted in grain under the High land and as the chances for water are so favorable, there will in all prob ability be a large acreage planted un- der the Highland canal. This will be pleasing news to the canal owners for they have not realized anything but expense for some years.

J. H. PoMEROY A SICK MAN.

The city marshal and a number of sleuths were kept busy Thursday night looking for a sneak thief, who pur- Joined an overcoat and lap robe from a buggy belonging to F. T. Pomeroy, which was standing close to the Mesa Opera house while he was inside re- hearsing the children for the comedet- ta Saturday night. Suspicious charac- ters were sighted and given chase but they escaped in the darkness. A couple of men answering the descrip- ton of the offenders were arrested but were turned loose the next morning as nothing could be proven against them. The officers of the surrounding towns would do we'll to keep a lookout for the stolen articles. The coat was a new black one, very heavy, with velvet collar. The laprobe was a red dish brown color, one side darker than the other. In the overcoat was a large black silk muffler, a pair of mittens and a knit shawl.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. G. w. Bliss Passed Away at Noon
 Yesterday.

Yesterday about noon Mrs. c. w. Bliss died at her rooms in the Page house. Death was sudden, for while she had been poorly for some time, she was able to be about until the day before her death. She was suffering from tuberculosis in an advanced stage and was in a very weakened con- dition. Thursday she grew worse and that evening the doctor was called. It was his opinion that she had con- tracted pneumonia, and in her state of health there was little that could be done. Yesterday morning she was worse, and the end came at noon. Pre- vious to Thursday evening she had not called a physician, and the early part of the week had visited friends about town. To them it appeared that she was improving a good deal, and con- sequently the report of her death was much of surprise. She was well liked by those who knew her, and has two sons-Raymond and Duke Lystad -One of whom is attending the Normal training school Both are polite, gen tlemanly boys, very highly regarded by every one here and deeply sympathized with in their bereavement.
 Mrs. Bliss has spent some time in Arizona, the last four months here in Tempe. She came from Chicago last spring and stayed in Tucson until coming here. Her husband mas min ing interests at Silver Bell and was wired yesterday at that place. It is expected that he will arrive this morn ing, and until he reaches here no fu- neral arrangements will be made. The remains were taken in charge yester- day by Hodnett & Carr, local under takers and embalmers.

TEMPE
COUNCIL MEETING.
Fire Ordinance passed-city Streets to
 Be Graveled.

The regular monthly meeting of the city council was held Thursday even ing at the council chambers, all con cerned being present. with the eXcep- tion of City Attorney w. J. Kingsbury, who is away in Tucson on business. There were several matters of impor- tance discussed and acted upon. Chief of these was the passing of fire or dinance. This was presented by Cour- cilman Curry and met with favor with the other members of the body. Later in the evening it was rassed. It pre- scribes that no buildings other than brick, stone or other material proof against fire may be constructed within railroad and Sixth street, north and south, or between Maple and Myrtle street, east and west. It also forbids the building of brush or rubbish fires within the corporate limits of the town.
 The marshal was instructed to ad- vertise for bids for the hauling and spreading of 1000 yards of gravel. It is proposed to regravel Eighth street and Mill avenue. Possibly more streets will be similarly treated if the town feels that it can be afforded at pres ent. Possibly, with the exception Of the street west of the Normal, which never has been graveled, the two above mentioned are in the worst need of at tention at the present time.
 The meeting was adjourned for Q week when the council will meet again next Thursday night.

WEAR TWO PAIRS OF SOCKS.
Advice of a Shoe Salesman OH White
Protection of Feet.

Advice of a Shoe Salesman on Winter
Protection of Feet.
ct 500 Won wear two nairs of socks"
said the shoe salesman to the GUS
toner you are wise. A good many
people are beginning to do 1t, especial
ly between seasons.
People ought to do 1t all through
the winter. There is more warmth in
two pairs of summer socks than there
is in the heaviest pair of woolens that
ever was manufactured.
IF you are troubled with cold feet,
you will find that the combination Of
pair of woolens and a pair of light
weight socks-balbrlggan or Isle
thread-wil fix you up comfortably
the coolest day that comes. If your
feet are tender. you can wear the
thread ones inside and the wool with
out. If you are extra cold, reverse the
process. Whichever you do, you will
find the thin pair easily doubles tho
value Of the thick one.
There is generally speaking, an
altogether wrong notion as to the best
way to keep the feet warm. People
ask for heavy soles and cork soles and
insoles and fleece soles. and think they
are protecting their feet.
1t is all mistake. The soles of the
feet are not sensitive to cold. II is not
through the soles that you catch cold
or feel cold Any ordinary shoe af-
fords the feet all the protection neces-
sary, so far as temperature is con-
cerned.
To avoid cold feet, the ankles and
instep should be protected. That's
where your second pair Of socks does
its work. But, as a matter of fact, in
very cold weather every one should
wear cloth tops covering the whole
upper part of the shoe.
with spats and doubled socks and
medium weight shoes you can walk
OIL ice in zero weather and not know
it's cold-.so far as your feet are con-
cerned. OF course you feel the cold
most in your toes, but the protection
OF the upper part Of the foot where
larger blood vessels run down is the
main thing Your toes won't feel cold
If the rest Of your foot is warm.
I'D like to sell you pair Of tops.
These black ones would just go with
your new shoes. They're only-no. not
this time? Well, call again. New

SENATOR HOAR DIED POOR.
Lived in Boarding House at Washing

Lived in Boarding House at Washing
ton-Cottage His ONE.
1t would be Idle to impute to the
late Senator Hoar all the virtues OF
to deny him his share of failngs says
writer In BOoklOvers' Magazine. He
was a very human man. His passions
were strong and his judgments posi-
tive. On some public measures he was
unduly dogmatlc. Often he INDUCED
in personalities; his partisanshlp was
bitter. On occasion he could even be
wasplsh and distinctly disagreeable.
Ordinarily he was not only affable
but his courtesy was notable. Unlike
many Senators, he was exceedingly
approachable. He usually sat at the
head Of the long table in his commit
tee room, meeting all Corners with ur-
banity. treating the humblest with as
much consideration as the mightiest.
Descendant Of line OF distinguished
ancestors running back to Roger Sher-
man. he early showed capacity for
high service. He died in harness after
a service In Congress extending over
thirty years and was so poor that all
this time he lived in boarding house
In Washington ami had only modest
cottage at his home in Worcester. Last
February | overheard him say with
the utmost frankness that he could not
make a small purchase because he had
found that his bank account was over
drawn and he must send his salary TO
make it balance. 1t was Just after
he had buried his wife. lie left a
small legacy in worldly goods, but the
nation has seldom had a richer herit-
age in character
That he should have been mal'gnel
and misunderstood was inevitable He
gave hard blows and took them freely.
He asked no consideration of any one.
He stood on his own feet. He feared
no man, besought none and believed I'm
others as he believed in himself. This
does not mean that he was austere: on
the contrary, he was one of the kindli-
est Of men. He was not ambitious in
the ordinary sense of the word; he
cared little for the things which most
men look upon as prizes. Had he so
desired he might have made fortune
at the bar and retired with dignity to
the bench. whose highest honors he
frequently refused.

REAL vALENclsNnss LACE
Was Originally Developed In 1040 By
Mile. FRANCHISE Badar.

Mile. Franchise Badar.
Duripg the reign OF Louis XIV. OF
France, when the gorgeous dressing
height, the art OF rare lacemaking was
at its best I'm trance. The Beau Brum-
mels OF the French court spent enor-
nous sums on sleeve rufiies and
jnbots, and IL was not unusual for
comparatively narrow ruffies Of valen-
cienDes lace to sell for nine guineas
an ell. Madame du Barry is said to
have spent a small fortune on this
lace, which was popular not only for
It's beauty, but for It's washing quail
ties.
Valenciennes lace was originally de-
veloped from the lace factory at lie
Quesnoy, which in turn had learned
the art from a certain Mile. FRANCHISE
Badar, in 1916, who had class Of
young girls in Antwerp at that time
and later established several centers
in France, where II became a national
industry.
Valenciennes lace shows its Flemish
ancestry, especially in its earlier de.
signs, by the frequent use of tulips,
anemones and carnations, which are
also met with in other so-called pill
low laces" In that the groundwork
threads are drawn from the pattern
and again back into the pattern as
suits the worker. This makes the
work very complicated and very tedl-
Gus.
But during the French revolution
the art Of valenclennes lacemaking
came near being permanently lost
The disappearance OF sleeve ruflies
had a great deal TO do with this, and,
besides, the nobility OF France were I'm
no position to purchase such expensive
lace; from valenciennes they turned to
cheaper laces from Lille and 'Arras.
The Lille makers could produce three
or four ellis a day from each worker,
whereas valenciennes worker could
never do more than an inch and half
a day. Naturally the Lille lace was
less effective, but so much more rea-
sonable that for ordinary occasions. Mt
least, It quite superseded valenciennes.
Then, during the upheaval in French
politics. the valenciennes workers fed
to Belgium, where they settled in
Client, Ypres. Bruges and nalghborlng
cities, each Of which, in the course OF
time, began to show little varieties in
their work, although Ypres produces
the best quality. This has the dia-
mond- shaped mesh so familiar to low
ers OF lace.
Napoleon I. and Napoleon III. both
attempted to restore the ancient In
dutry to France, but without success
In 1900 there were barely 200 lace
makers left in the town, although the
Malinnes and Alencon industries were
restored. BY 1851 only two ancient
laceworkers remained at work In
Valenciennes, and now the Original
valenciennes lace is only seen in mu
seums or in the collection Of some
seeker OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

FAMOUS ENGLISH WELLS.
Some Whose Waters Are Charged with
Magic or Miraculous Power.

Though there are hundreds OF wells
supposed to possess ma gcal power
scattered all over England, the general
public is ignorant OF their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be a possible ex-
ception in the well of St Keyne, In
Cornwall, for Southey has made it
famous in a witty little poem. The
magic Of its waters is such that the
husband or wife who drinks first from
1t after leaving the altar will have
the upper hand over the mate for their
Joint lives. The bride of whom
Southey tells us did not wait till after
the marriage ceremony to pay visit
to the well, but took the precaution of
taking a bottle with her to the church
Another well. in Monmouthshire.
which has a peculiar fascination for
the unmarried maidens is known as
the "virtuous we'll" For generations
the maidens Of tlat locality have ac-
credited 1t with marvellous powers in
forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop a pebble into its water
and count the resultant bubbles. for
each bubble represents a month Of
waiting for the day which will make
them brides. In order to propitiate
the genius which presldes over the
well 1t Is necessary to decorate the
brambles which shade it with bits Of
white cloth.
Then there are the so-caled holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such one is st. Winlfred's. at
Holywell, which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend OF its origin is very pretty
one. 1t Is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred the winsOme daugh-
ter of a Welsh chief, was wooed by
Prince Caradoc. a prince Of i'll repute
She declined his persistent advances
and at last he killed her in Il fit OF
rage From the spot on which St
Winifred's life blood fell there gushed
forth "a stream of crystal ~ater which
has worked miracles in her name fol
so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
flesh is heir can be cured by one OF
another of these wells. st. Ninan's
in Cornwall, is said to restore lunatics
to sanity, but the patient must be i'm
mersed in the wafer and held there
until the breath has nearly left his
body. This seems heroic measure
But even this is not so severe as the
treatment which must be endured if ;
mailman is to be cured at Llandegli
well, in Wales, for after the victim il
nearly drowned he is trussed like 1
fowl and laid under the communion
table of the neighboring church 70
