MOTHER GOOSE MopERNIzED

There was man and he had naught,
So creditors quick sought him;
They hung around his house all day,
Their bills collectors brought him.
But he got out the house disguised,
And ere the bunch could find him.
A bankrupt he had been declared,
And left his debts behind him.

VXTHo is the prettiest woman in
w England?

w England?
That is question which must
be decided ere long. When 1t Is known,
the woman will become famous and she
will go down in history as the court
beauty of King Edwards day. Not
since the eleventh century has there
been such a beauty war. Then it was
decided by bloodshed.
For weeks all England has been
aroused over this query, and the contest
which has ensued. A regular election
is in progress to settle it. Votes are
flying about and London, the scene of
the fray, is turned into a veritable vot-
ing poll. with women's names upon the
balloting slips. A little voting match
which was started in June has now
opened out until it has become Of ma
tional Importance.
King Edward has always been con-
sidered a connoisseur on women's
beauty. No woman interests him un-
less she is more than passing fair. He
has certain definite ideas as to what
constitutes feminine beauty, and is de-
cided in his tastes. He likes the type
Of women with these peculiarities:
She must be feminine in type, not
strong featured nor masculine.
She must not be too large.
She must be oval faced.
And she must look like Queen Alex
andra.
All of King Edwards favorites, when
he was prince of Wales and attended
lively house parties, were of the Queen
Alexandra type. The king, who is i'm
mensely sentimental. has always ad-
mired women of the Alexandra style.
One after one favorites came before
him and were selected as card partners.
cotillon leaders, hunting companions
and the like. Yet all were something
like Queen Alexandra in complexion
and style. 1t was the highest and most
subtle compliment he could pay his
wife. Compelled to attend functions,
from which she was barred by ill-health,
he made it known that he preferred
women of her stamp and kind.
Questions to Vote Upon
The beauty contest in England is d.
vided into questions which are as fol-
lows:
First-What society woman in Eng
land has the prettiest figure?
Second-Who dresses the best?
Third-Who has the most classic
features?
Fourth-who is the most distinctively
English?
Fifth-What woman, not English, is
the most beautiful member of English
society?
Sixth-Who has the most beautiful
hair?
Seventh-What is your favorite type
of beauty, and are you prejudiced by
preconceved notions?
Eighth-For whom would you cast
your vote if you could cast only one
vote?
These questions have been answered
in various ways, some saying that
they were prejudiced in favor of
this one and some in favor of that one.
One voter said he thought Mrs. Brad
ley Martin the most beautiful woman
in England on account of her charities.
adding the old adage, Handsome is as
handsome does"
To the surprise of everybody, such
old favorites as Mrs. CORVALLIS West
and Lady Randolph Churchill received
many votes. The latter is now Mrs.

A pitiable story is told in connec, ton with the arrival of a young girl at the Reform School at Benson this week
 She was brought to the institution from Apache county by Sheriff Houck on Monday. and gave her name as Patra Davilla, aged sixteen, and a for. mer resident of Phoenix. In connec. tion with the unfortunate case is a story of moral degradation on the part of the father which has aroused the good people of Phoenix and other points along the line where the story has been told,
 The girl was placed under arrest at sheep camp in Apache county at the instigation of her miserable fath- CT. who. il is stated, was cognizant of the life his daughter was living, and divided the spells of her ill gotten gains, and finally caused her arrest, not because of h3r conduct, but be- cause she refused to give him money.
 In speaking of the sad case the Phoenix Gazette of last Saturday says:
 The girl will be remembered in connection with a case here three months ago when one Bracamonte was arrested for criminal assault. The father, Ygnacio Davilla, who was then a member of the Salvation Army-he seems to have back-slid since and fal- len by the wayside-had left town and Bracamonte was left to care for the house.
 The child was motherless. her father being a widower. Upon his retuT- from the trip Davilla learned that his supposed friend had betrayed his cen The young mans arrest fol- lowed, but the girl. it seems. was drawn into the gay life. Her next stunt was with the Nat Reiss Carnival company. She appears in one of the tent attractions with the compa- ny.
 Prior to the time of Bracamonte's trial the girl disappeared and he was released. The father left shortly af forwards, and this is the first heard of them since. They have been at a sheep camp in Apache county, where the girl is said to have led life of shame with the alleged knowledge of her father"
