CAUGHT IN HE TolLs.

Senator John H. Mitchell. of Ore gon, four times United States Sena tor from that state, q patriarch in a=c ard app 8; rau. .. a man of distinguish ed ability and great learning, has been convicted by jury of his home coun- ty in the Federal court of a crime which will land him in the peniten- tiary unless Q new trial is granted
 The crime for wien the Senator is convicted was practicing law and receiving q fee from a client before a federal department while a member of the Senate. The evidence is prac- tically conclusive that the Senator is g;~1fY ana hi- t.r, sIsoE isd pp. ishmeat follows in the natural order of things.

In Globe the citizens are having a controversy over the location of the new court house for which plans have been asked for by the board of super visors. The Globe Belt publishes in teryiews with many of the leading citizens which shows beyond question that The people want the new build ing to occupy the present site Of the old one. There seems to be a suspi- cion that the board of supervisors are interested in a real estate deal in connection with the location Of the new court house. It is to be hoped that the people of Giia county will be consulted and if they are. the court house will undoubtedly remain where it is.

FOR SMALLER COLLEGES.

1t is now announced that the recent gift of John D. Rockefeller of s10.O0O.- 800 to the General Board of Education was accompanied with the stipulation that the money was to be used for country The interest of the fund. the small colleges throughout the searly $500,000 a year. is to be used at the discretion of the General Edu- cation Beard to aid such colleges as the board shall consider most useruI. Tns board may spend the money to aid any of the great universities ir 5ss discretion, but the benefciaries Ehich Mr. Rockefeller had in mind were the small colleges. He believes eaat too large a share of the present splendid gifts for education go to the universities and he designs this fund ao restore the balance. The needs of many small colleges are pressing, but the tendency is to overlook them in our national passion for bigness. This fund is a recognition that the small college does a work which thegrea- -i university car 4ot do. There is 1uch she same difference between attend. Ag 8 small college and a great unl sersity that there is between living a a small town and in a city. Every body admits that the whole-someness and simplicity of a small town gre helpful, especially during the period of growth Nobody would rear boys in q city block if he had a chance. for them on a farm. With some boys Inc maintenance Of simple standards and an out of door life is valuable after college age. In such boys the training of a small college hardens fiber where the stimulus Of Q great university would weaken it. The trouble has been heretofore that most small colleges have been so hampered for funds that their teaching equip menr and the quality of their facui- fes suffered. This gift will in good measure redress that disadvantage.
 The form of the gift is also wise. The General Education Board will re- eeive this money from Mir. Rockefel- Ter. Individual colleges will receive it fIom the General Education Beard. The obligation and the gratitude Of the colleges will thus be due to tho board and not directly to Mir RccIe- Teller.

PHOENIX MAYOR HAS RESIGNED.

J. C, Adams has tendered his resig
 nation as Mayor of the city of Phoe
 nix. The resignation was rendered the
 city council Monday night after a ma jority of the council had walked
 rough shod over the mayor by firing
 a commission which had been previ
 ously appointed by the mayor and ap proved by the council to have charge
 cf She municipal ownership of the wa 1. ter system. The majority of the coun.
 ell stated that they believed that the
 mayor was deliberately trying to pre-.
 vent the proriding of a water system
 by the city and was delaying every action which was necessary to give the city the water system iu accord ance with the well known wishes Of the people. Not only did the city council fire Mayor Adams water com missioner, but they then and there awarded the $S0OOO0 in city bonds to Cincinnati firm on it's bid of par and accrued interest. Against these acts Of the council Mayor Adams pleaded for delay; finding that his advice was worthless so far as the majority of the city council was con cerned. Mir. Adams rendered his res ignation as mayor of the city and left the room.
 In the resignation Of Mayor Adams it is the opinion of this paper that Phoenix has lost the best mayor it ever had Adams is noted for his public spirit and liberality in pushing Phoenix and Phoenix enterprises to the front and man of this character can be of vast benefit to a c:ty like Phoenix which has many important things ahead which will demand pub lie spirit and liberality to handle Iaem. Phoenix is a republican city and Mir. Adams successor will be but we very much doubt q. he will be in a position, whoever he may be, to accomplish as much for the city as could J. c. Adams.
 As to the merits Of the local con troversy in. Phoenix We are not in po- sition to judge, but we are of the opin- ion that Phoenix will be the loser be cause of the resignation oT j. C-Adams as mayor.

eating Crows ''fresh-boiled crawfish"
or "shrimps." they would often come
across one of the left-overs Of yester-
days supply, mixed in with the others;
and a yesterdays shrimp is fun OF
stomach-aehe an3 indigestion. SO that
business suffered.
In the fig business the ripe ones sold
well; but when one of Crows custo-

Of the very ripc he also carried away

This was all very dishonest, and
Crow knew it Still. he did it many
times.
And then-and this shows how one

day-oh. Solomon Crow, I'm ashamed
to tell it on you!-one day he noticed
that there were fresh eggs in the

two on his plate at once. looking at
him like a pair of round eyes. "an'

Why not slip a few OF these tempting
eggs into the bottom Of the basket and
cover them up with ripe figs?
And So
One day, he did 1t.
He had stopped at the dining room
door that day and was handing in the
larger basket, as usual. when old Mr..
Cary, who stood there, said. smiling:

led him to her husband.

Crow drew out his little rust-stained
pockets, dropping a few old nails and
bits OF twine upon the floor as he did
so.
'Um-h'm! Wen. now I'll tell you.

Her tone was so soft. so sorrowful
and sympathetic, that Crow felt as he
followed her as if. in the hour of his
deepest disgrace. he had found a friend;
and when presently he stood in a great
square room before high armchair, in
which white-haired old lady sat look

Finally. he began to blink. And then

frieadship--he never saw a heavenly
Fathers love.
He knew that some things were right
and others wrong, He knew that it was
right to so out and earn dimes to buy
the things needed in the cabin, but he
equally knew it was wrong to get this
money dishonesty. Crow was a very
shrewd little boy, and he made money
honostl in a number of ways that
only a wide-awake boy would think
about.
When fig season came, in hot sum-
mertime. he happened TO notice that
beautiful ripe figs were drying up on
the top-tops OF some great trees in .
neighboring yard, where a stout old
Gentleman and his old wife lived alone.
and he began to reflect.
IF could des git a-holt o some O.
dem fine sugar figs dat's a-swivelin' UP
every day on top O. dem trees. I'd
meek a heap o. money peddlin' 'em on
de street" And even while he thought
this thought he licked his lips. There
were, no doubt, other attractions about
the figs for very small boy with a
very sweet tooth.
On the next morning after this. Crow
rang the front gate bell of the yard
where the figs were growing
Want a boy to pick figs on sheers?"
That was all he said to the fat old gen.
tleman who had stepped around the
house in answer to his ring.
Crows offer was timely.
Old Mr.. Cary was red in the face and
painting even yet from reaching UP into
the mouidy. damp lower limbs of his
fig trees trying to gather dishfuI for
breakfast.
Come in" he said, mopping his fore
head as he spoke.
Pick on shares, will your"
''Yassir"
"Even?''
"Yassir''
Promise never to pick any but the
very ripe figs?"
''Yassir."
Honest. boy?"
"Yassir"
Turn in. then; but wait minute"
He stepped aside into the house, re-
turning presently with two baskets.
Here" he said. presenting them
both. These are pretty nearly of a
size. Go ahead, now, and let's see what
you can do"
Needless TO say, Crow proved a great
success as fig picker. The very sugary
figs that old Mr.. Cary had painted for
and reached for in vain lay bursting
with sweetness on top of both baskets.
The old gentleman and his wife were
delighted. and the boy was oI.sISIv en-
gagged to come every morning.
And this was how Crow went into the
fig business.
Crow was Hkable boy-"so bright
and handy and nimbIe"-and the old
people soon became fond OF him.
They noticed that he always handed

seemed not only honest, but generous

forth became.
Crow was ten years old now. and he
was so very black and polished and
thin, and mad so peaked and bright a
face, that no one who had any sense
of humor could hear him calle1 Crow
without smiling.
Crows mother. Tempest, had been a
worker in her better days. but she had
grown fatter and fatter until now she
was so lazy and broad that her chief
pleasure seemed to be sitting in her
front door and gossiping with her
neighbors over the fence, or in abusing
or praislng little Solomon. according to
her mood.
Tempest had never been very honest.
When, in the old days. she had hired
out as cook and carried her dinner"
home at night. the basket on her arm
had usually held enough for herself and
Crow and a pig and the chickens-with
some to give away. She had not meant
Crow to understand, but the little fell

was his pattern.

Crows mother loved him very much
she thought She would knock down

thing. Indeed, when things went well.
she would sometimes go sound asleep
in the door with her fat arm around
him-very much as the mother cat be-

licked her baby kitten.
But if Crow was awkward or forgot
anything-or didn't bring home money
enough-her abuse was worse than any
mother cats claws.
