clothing. After the injured man is
placed in the cage and lifted 10 the
surface he is put in an ambulance
of its collieries and is taken to his
home or TO the hospital
No Stops for "1efreshments.'
One of the most imperative instruc-
tons is that the First Aid man. who
always accompanies the miner in the
ambulance. must see TO it that the
driver never stops on the way 10 the
hospital. Before the advent of the
First Aid Corps the driver generally
stopped TO water his mules before a
saloon or hotel, which was frequent
~ a reminder that he as well as the
mules needed refreshments. While he
was obtaining it the injured man had
to lie neglected. Frequently whisky
would be given to him also, in such
quantities that after a long and inju-
rious delay he would reach the hos
pital with His mine injuries compli-
Gated by anothers trouble.
The watchfulness of the corps man
now prevents all this. To avoid the
danger of mistakes the corps is for
hidden to give any medicine and no
stimulant may be administered save
hot black coffee-nevef whisky. As
soon as the injured man is taken
home the responsibility of the First
Aid Corps ceases.
To test the understanding OF this
important rule, DR.. Halberstadt at a
recent lecture asked one of the corps:
Suppose a man is burned in the
mines and you dress his injuries and
accompany him home. What method
of treatment would you adopt when
you visit him next day. Il would
not treat him the next day." was the
quick reply, because | would be liza
BILE to arrest for practieing medicine
without a license.
This shows that the First Aiders
have learned the ethics of their pro-
fession as we'll as manual skill in it.
They only act when some member of
the regular medical stats are not
quickly available.

army of men employed to detect and

The latest step taken to protect the
miner is the establishment of First
Aid to the Injured Corps by many of
the anthracite operators. Formerly an
injured man had to be carried awk-

sir, I'll let you go. I'm near the end.
Let me see. It's winter day in

streets are crowded. Here are men
and women, but I see only the horses.
You know, sir. how I love them. Well,
here is a big stable. A tall man has

THE mare is a rack of bones, limp

You can't kill the pride of the Barbary.
She falters. Her driver lashes her over
the head. Trove is running toward her.
He climbs a front wheel, and down
comes the driver. In a minute Trove
has her by the bit. He calls her by
name-Phyllis, The slim ears begin to
move. She rickers. God sir she is
trying to see him. One eve is bleeding.

neck. sir, and he hides his face in her
name. That mare you ride-she is the
granddaughter of Phyllis. I'd as soon
think of selling my wife. Really. sir,
Darrell was right God IL mind the look
of your horses"
So spake an old man sitting in the
freight
..Trove went home with the mare"
he continued. "She recovered the sight
of one eye and had box stall and the
brook pasture-you know, that one by
the beech grove. He got home the day
before Christmas. Polly met him at

commandment"
There was a little time of silence.
"If you watch Il coward you'll see a
most unhappy creature" 1t was Trove
who spoke Darrell said once, A cow
ard is the prey of all evil and the mark
of thunderbolts
'.I1l not admit you're a coward -
were the words of Polly
WELL" said he, rising. 81 had fear
of only one thing-that i should lose
your love-"
Reaching home next day, Trove
found that Allen had sold Phyllis. The
mare had been shipped away.
''She brought thousand dollars"
said his foster father, land I'll divide
the profit with you"
1t was June day, and Trove was at
Robins Inn. A little before noon Polly
and he and the two boys started for
Brier Dale. They waded the towering
meadows in Pleasant valley, crossed
great pasture and came under the for
est roof. AS they came to Brier road
the boys found q nest of hornets. 1t
Soon Paul had flung stone that broke
the nest Open. Hornets began to buzz
around them, and all ran for refuge to
a thicket of young frs. In moment
they could hear horse coming at
slow trot. Trove peered through the
bushes. He could see Ezra Tower. that
man of scornful piety, on white
horse. Trove shouted a warning, but
with no effect. Suddenly Tower broke
his long silence, and the horse began
to run.
HE did speak to the hornets" said
Polly.
"Swore, too" said Paul.
Near sunset they came into Brier
Dale. Mary Allen met them at the
door.
Mother, here is my future wife,"
said Trove proudly.
Then ruddy lips of youth touched the
faded cheek of the good woman.
I'VE shall be married in September"
said Trove, tossing his hat in the air.
Were going to have a grand time,
and, mind you, mother, no more hard
work for you"

AN OUTING IN FINAL
 FUN AND BUSINESS
The Pacific Monthly Will Have Some
 thing to Say of That Country.

J. Ernest Walker returned yester- day from a visit to Pinal county in cluding the better part of five days. He left Monday mornin with D. D. Horning. F. H. Amet of Redondo, Cal. Hon. Elmer White of San Francisco, representative of the Pacific Monthly, and E. w. Potter of the New York store They went we'll organized for an outing trip and had lots of fun as well as business.
 The party spent Monday afternoon in Florence and vicinity. On Tuesday they drove to the Wentworth ranch and put in most of the day murdering ducks. On Wednesday they drove to the dam of the Casa Grande valley canal about sixteen miles above Flor ence in the forenoon and in the after noon they went to the reservoir where the night was spent.
 Thursday Messrs. Horning and Amet devoted to further depicting the visible supply of ducks while Messrs. Walker and White drove to Arizola and Casa Grande and from there were taken for a fifteen mile drive by pr. Frank Dol ly who owns a little patch of some 2700 acres of land not far from Casa Grande. Thursday afternoon they drove back to the reservoir and spent the night. Yesterday morning Messrs. Walker and White got up at 4:30 a. m. and by good drive caught the train for Phoenix returning yesterday noon. The others will probably follow on the next train
 MT White was engaged in securing data for an article in the Pacific Monthly on Pinal county and that it will be a good one is certain from the nature of his previous work in tha. , line. All were interested in seeing a fine country at a fine time of the year 1 for looking at 1t.

THE RUBBER BUSINESS
 IN SOUTHERN MEXICO
A Former PhOenician Has Faith
 in Ii.

Fred Markley. who three years ago was mailing clerk in the Phoenix postoffice nas just returned here fo- a brief stay from the peninsula of Yucatan in southern Mexico waere for some time he has been employed on large coffee and rubber plantation. He is on his way to Oregon which is to be his home hereafter. he having mar ried since leaving Phoenix. He says the rubber business is just getting nicely on it's feet. While the industry has been badly Knocked" by the many fake companies organized il the east he still thinks it is a coming one and that it will yield large fortunes to many people
 The plantation where MT. Markley was located is sixty miles from the famous ruins of PalanqUe which are curiously very similar to the ruins of Egypt. On top of some Of the ruins are found growing trees twice ,hc thickness of a mans body. giving some idea of the great age of the ruins The civilization as evidenced by what has been found in the ruins, was of d higher order and quite different from that of the Aztecs. The average rain- fall annually around Palanque. MT Markley says. is about 300 inches which, if one stops to think is getting up close to the record. Tne Vegeta tion is marvellous. that section being an almost impenetrable jungle except along lines of travel. The ruins are mainly of soft sandstone. The ruins also include pyramids and some struc- lures which show a great degree ot architectural taste as well as con structive skill
 MT. Markley also visited the ruins of the Maya tribe which are also won derful but very different from those at Palanque and show conclusively that they are the work of an entirely different race of people.

WATER WORKS SESSION
 OF CITY COUNCIL
The Preliminary Steps to Construct
 ion of nunincipal System.

The city council held a meeting last night that was devoted almost eXclu- sively to waterworks business and the preliminaries necessary to the calling of the annual election. The first inci- dent was the filing and approval of the bonds of the waterworks commiS- sioners. in the sum of 5000 each. There being no money available for waterworks use until the bonds are sold and which sale cannot be concluded until after the next city election, II was decided to transfer from the gen eral fund to the water works fund. in the nature of a loan, s3.500 to be at the disposal of the commission for necessary preliminary expenses. The proper resolutions were passed to ac- complish this end
 The question of a constructing en- gineer for the city was brought up and Engineer P. E. Fuller read to the coun- ell form of contract that he thought should be adopted as covering the de tails of what should be expected Of the engineer and what he in turn should be required to do. The contract places the value of the engineers ser vices at two and three-fourths per cent of the cost of the plant. The con tract was referred to the commission.
 The commissioners then withdrew and held a short session for organiZ- ing. selecting Lincoln Fowler for pres ident end Frank Lyman for secretary of the commission.
