one Of the Family.

James Seymour. the artist. was born
In London In 1902. He displayed u
fondness for drawing and painting In
boyhood and subsequently gained ce-
lebrity by his skill In designing horses.
Once the proud Duke Of Somerset EN-
plOyed Seymour to paint room at bis
seat In Sussex. with the portraits Of hls
running horses. Having admitted the
artist to his table. he one day drank TO
him, saying:
Cousin Seymour. your health"
The painter replied My lord. real
Iy believe that have the honor OF be-
ing of your grace's family"
This hurt the pride Of the duke so
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour
and dismiss him. Finding, however.
that no one in England could complete
the pictures begun he condescended to
send for his cousin. The painter re-
sponded to the message In these words:
my lord, I will now prove that am
Of your grace's family, for won't
come"

In a Good Cause
The battle Of Redonaa.


Not far from st. Thomas, Il matter OF
perhaps a hundred miles, was fought
the most wonderful naval battle In all
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the etemy in the early morning, when
the sea- was covered with thick mist,
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning. The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly quiver-
ing with spasms caused by the shock
of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemy's shots. which sound
ed like bombardment, seemed to fall
short or go wide of the mark, for not
even splash Of n ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed.
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle Of
the forenoon, when the fog lifted re
vealing to their astonished gaze not the
vessels Of the enemy. but great rock
standing out Of the sea. They had been
firing at 1t for five hours. and the sound
of the return shots they heard was the
echo from the solid wall of granite.
They named the place Redonda. which
means sent. rolled or driven back. and
RedOnda 1t Is to. this day.

Convenient Insanity.

Some expert who may have been
looking at himself in the glass has SOL
emnly declared that almost everybody
you meet is insane in one way or an
other. The average man would be
loath to believe that. although he would
have to admit that almost everybody he
meets thinks he can sing. AS to him
self, he would resent 1t and claim that
he was as sane as any Of the rest
1t Is only when some very wealthy
man has committed a great crime and
the lawyers think it would be a shame
to let him he punished before he has
had chance to spend his money that
the experts come to the front with
drayload Of big words warranted to
convince the jury that the man and
all his relations are clear of mentally.
1t ID not very hattering to man to
hear positive proof that almost con.
vinces himself that he Is insane, but
II he will think real hard he can usual.

even less pleasant.

THE MYSTERY.

Oh, maiden with the dreamy eyes,
The soulful look, the slender waist.
The air of langour and disdain
The earmarks of aesthetic taste,
The longing for the higher walks
That lead to some far dizzy height
Far from the low and commonplace.
Where did you get that appetite?
You talk of Browning quite lot,
Quote Emerson to beat the band.
Read Whitman or some other book
That common folk can't understand.
At handing out a line of talk
That for obscureness can't be beat
You take the cake. l rather guess.
But. bless my stars, how you can eat!
The simple life is quite the thing,
TO hear you setting forth the case:
Loud colors and all gaudy tints
by you are counted out Of place:
For style from Paris or New York
You do not you assure us. care.
hut, OH. I'D hate to pay the bills
That come In for the clothes you
wear!
The yearnings OF your gentle soul.
The things of air for which you sigh.
Are not the bargains in the stores
Or goods that vulgar cash will buy.
But still the man who falls In love
And marries you would need a wide
And very bulky roll of bills
II he would keep you satished.

See otter skin,

The furrier was taking his stock out
Of the cold storage room. 1t came
forth frozen stin and coated with glis-
tening white frost. But there was one
beautiful skin that, though just as stiff
as any Of the others, had no frost OIL it.
'T want you to look at this skin" he
said. 1T is the kind that the richest
Russians, grand dukes, and so on, have
their overcoat collars made Of. 1t is Il
ssa otter's skin. and 1t Is SO expensive
that often one coat collar Of it will cost
$500. 1t is unquestionably the Lest
skin in the world to make coat collars
of. Why? Look at this one, and you'll
see. All my other skins are covered
with frost, while on this fur no frost
whatever appears. And that's the rea-
son why sea otter skins make the best
coat collars. The breath, for some un-
known reason, doesn't freeze on them"

Elks' Train Wrecked

Last Wednesday afternoon two special trains arrived here from Los Angeles. bearing the California delegation of Elks to Denver. The first section, leaving here at 3:3O, was wrecked thirteen miles out on the Canyon road, the accident be- ing due to the spreading of the rails. However. no one on the train was injured, though two of the Pullmans were derailed and some four hundred feet of the track torn up. The passengers were trans ferred to the regular train and taken on to the Canyon, where a banquet and grand ball was held later in the Fl Tovar. All other traffic was delayed till Thursday morning. The Elks returned to Williams that afternoon and con- tinued on east.

 pectations of the committee, and then there were a number of purses up which were not claimed, such as $50 for the public wedding. The committee did not feel that they could use these purses for other events, as some one was likely to claim them at the last moment.

In the Police Court

In Judge Crawford's court the past week there have been one county and four city cases.
 J. Peterson, Ed Carlson and Lee Terry, each being brought before his honor on the charge of being drunk and disorderly, were fined $1O each.
 T. R. Simpson, colored, acting as porter at the Grand Canyon hotel on the Sd, stepped out back of the hotel and fired few shots from his revolver at fence post. He was fined $5 for shooting inside the cor porate limits. If Simpson had hit the post there might have been nothing doing, but one of the bull lets traversed the space between where he stood and Mir. F. R. Mel lis' residence, entering one of the front windows and burying itself in the wall above the piano. Luck fly none of the family happened to be at the piano.
 Senor Jose Romero, more com monly known as "Mexican Joe," was brought before his honor on the charge of making an unneces- sary display of a long butcher knife. The judge sentenced him to thirty days in jail and assessed a fine against him of $500. It will therefore be many 'manana" be- fore Joe is amongst us again.

No. 4 Wrecked

Train Mo- 4, the Santa Fe east bound limited, was wrecked near Agassiz, station about five miles west of Flagstaff, last Sunday after nooI.. The train was running about 45 minutes late out of here and was in charge of Conductor Carter, with Engineer Goldsworthy and Fire man Ed. Pillbury on the engine. .
 It is claimed the train was de rallied by the breaking of the pony trucks of the engine on a reverse curve. Though the engineer and fireman could have saved them selves by jumping they stood brave ly at their posts, applying sand and air, and when the train left the track Pillsbury found death wait ing for him under the engine, while Goldsworthy was horribly scalded from the knees down.
 The engine and three cars were derailed, and it-was not till early Monday morning that the track was cleared and traffic resumed. None of the passengers were seri- ously injured, the only ones sus- taining any bruises being L. w. Collins, of Phoenix, who re- ceived wrenched hip, and Mrs. Roberts, of Oakland, Cal, who sus- tained a severe sprained ankle, owing to the gallant actions of the enginemen.
 Pillsbury, who was formerly a resident of Williams, is said to have been the youngest fireman on the road, and a purse of $125 was raised among the passengers for the young wife at Winslow. Goldsworthy was taken to the hospital, where it is hoped he will speedily recover.
