TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American indians.

The North American Indians Of the
western coast have a tradition that
roses were created without thorns.
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness OF
the roses abundant foliage. and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction TO itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given its glory Of roses, but In every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them,
and and tribes OF roses were in dan.
ger of becoming extinct. In their ex.
tremity they held a council for In
that faraway morning of the world
plants as well as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had tale to tell
OF suffering and disaster. At length
II was decided to send for help to the
goldman OF the tribes-the Iiiawatha
Of the west. Delegates we're chosen
from among those who were MANNED
and torn and had suffered most 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun.
Gil dlscerned that should justice be
denied the tribes. beauty might pre-
vail in their cause.
The conference was long and grave
At its close an armory of thorns was
given to every rose. and thus were the
tribes of roses delivered from the en-
emies.-Circle Magazine.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest TO All Care
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
Of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked. starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
etc, produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch Is digested), are over.
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas. and microbes generate In the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
perltonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food IL absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form il
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts." where
the starch Is changed into form OF
sugar during the process Of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system In a
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue. without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
Is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly In physical and
mental strength. Why In mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles Of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the brain.

Oyster Bay, au account of which conference, when the subject of joint statehood was discussed, has already been published. Before re- turning to Phoenix, Judge Kent visited the Pacific coast, and was at Los Angeles, a guest of the Has sayampa club on the occasion of it's recent annual banquet.
 Arizona Republican: Those who are interested in knowing what the possibilities of date culture are in this valley cannot do better than to drop around to the board of trade and take look at fine bunch of dates that were grown on the experimental farm which is now under the direction of Prof. Wilson. Accompanying the ex- hibit Is statement of the follow ing facts: The tree is of the variety Seewah, or Siwah. and is one of nine trees that were imported in the early 90's This tree has borne as much as 400 pounds of fruit in a single season. This year it fruited too heavily, having seven punches that weigh from thirty-6ve to forty pounds each. The trees blossomed about April 2l, and the fruit is now nearly ripe. The ripe fruit from this tree last year was all sold as a novelty, at 50 cents pound. Assuming each of the punches to weigh thirty-fve pounds, the tree this year has produced 24O pounds.

Hams of Artesia, has this year pro. duced some of the finest peaches ever raised in the west. They are the Stinson's October variety, and are as large as teacup and full of flavor as an orange. His trees are young and vigorous, and the fruit conclusively proves that Arizona can beat the world on peaches, as it does on all other products.
 Arizona Republican: Governor Kibbey yesterday granted parole to Cenollo Rodriguez who was serv- ing a term of year and half in the penitentiary from Pima county for larceny. The parole was granted on the ground that the prisoner was dying of consumption. One of the conditions of parole was that Rodriguez should return to Mex ico, being a citizen of that country.
 Yuma Sun: Henry Brown, who served year at the Yuma peniten- tiary for butchering another mans yearling steer on the range near Cottonwood, Maricopa county, has, since his release, acquired some property, and discovered a rich mine. Inasmuch as he cannot hold the latter unless restored to citi- zenship, a petition to Governor Kibbey, to so restore him, Is being circulated.
 Arizona Republican: Governor Kibbey yesterday honored a requi- sition from the governor of Califor- mia for the extradition of W. H. Garner, who is wanted in Los An geles for statutory assault com mitted upon his thirteen year old stepdaughter. Garner was in GUS tody at Yuma. The agent of the state of California was F. c. Beau mont. The papers were forwarded to Yuma at the request of Sheriff Livingston.
 Arizona Democrat: James E. Bark was yesterday rendered the position of adjutant general of the National Guard of Arizona, to suc- ceed the late ". E. Leavell, but for business reasons declined the hon. or. The position carries with it much travelling to the different guard companies in Arizona, and Bark believes that every day he is away from Phoenix now is just that much lost when the demand for real estate is greater than it ever has been before.
 Yuma Sun: Mrs. R. J. .Schwan- beck, ef Middleton, Yavapai coun- ty, was bitten few days ago by a rattlesnake over which she uncon- sciously wheeled baby carriage. Her life was saved by her own and her husbands prompt action. Mrs. Schwanbeck tightly tied a hand kerchief about her leg just above the bite, to prevent circulation, and when her husband arrived fifteen minutes later he lanced the wound with his razor and sucked the poi son. While this was being done, Mrs. Schwanbeck was given fifteen drops of whiskey every fifteen min utes.

RING SPORT
AMONG BRITONS
FIG FIRST PROFESSIONAL
PRIZE FIGHTER
Faking Marred Early Period OF Sport
and Game Lost Favor-Many
Memorable Battles That
Were Fought

Professional boxers first saw the light
of day in England. Writers of fistiana
are not agreed as to the date of its
origin, but some of the older scribes
believe it was in the seventeenth CEN
tury. In one of Hogarth's pictures,
'Longworth Fair" there is a represen-
tation of a bully Offering to tackle any
body and bowling forth a challenge TO
all strong men of muscle to enter the
lists with him.
That was during the reign OF George
II. The fellow pictured by Hogarth
was man well known in Lonaoh III
those days. He was called Fig, an. lg-
norant, uneducated boor, but fighter
all the same, and many writers agree
that he was the original professional
prize fighter.
He had a fight once with another OF
his class, a Venetian gondolier known
as Jawbreaker. There was much pet
ting on the event, even at that early
date. Fig licked the gondolier, and
held onto his prestige until death.
Another of the ancient English pugl-
lists who at one time enjoyed conslu-
cradle fame was Tom Pipes. Tom
crooked his elbow too frequently, now
ever, and was whipped by sloVenly'
unscientific person called Hammer
smith Jack.
That ended the fame of Mr.. Plpes,
for every man with whom ne loushC
afterward got the best of him.
Among other noted pugilists OF those
DAYS was a man named Bill Wills the
fighting Quaker, another mighty boxer
named Tom Smallwood, and still an
other whose sobriquet was George the
Baker. All stood high in the fistic am
phitheaters of those days. They all
fought for "the diversion Of gentle
men," with, of course, lot of money
on the side.
After all these worthless retired there
was lapse of nearly half a century
in the art pugilistic, and then there
opened up new era of prize hghtlng
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-19

and a man of genius and talent made
his appearance on the stage.
His name was George Broughton. An
admirer, writing of him in one of the
magazines of that period, declared him
to be the greatest man in England,
universally beloved, feared, respected
and admired" His fame ended, how
ever, when he threatened to horsewhip
butcher named Slack, who insulted
him at the Hunslow races.
Slack challenged him to prize fight,
and they met in regular fashion. The
butcher mopped the earth with Mr.
Broughton, and gathered in shekels to
the amount of &600
The faVorite, who was also called the
father of boxing, was deprived of his
laurels, his friends declared, by chance
blow between the "peepers," which
blinded him and he couldn't see how to
fight.
At any rate, he retired to private life,
and, like Cardinal Wolsey, bid a long
farewell to his greatness. Slack, the
butcher boy, then became champion,
and it is recorded in the annals of
pugilistic history that he, after reign
of ten years, was obliged to yield the
palm to a slaughterer known as Bill
Stevens the Nailor.
Then the championship was boosted
around for about a quarter of CEN
tury-that is, from the years 1851 to
17S3-but in all that time there was no
great master genius among the pugi-
lists.
One of the most celebrated of the
pugilists of those times was an Irish
man named Peter Corcoran. He grad
uated from the honest occupation of
q coal HEAVIER to. that of a sailor, but
at last decided that his mission on the
globe was prize fighting.
Peter whipped many of the best box
ers of his era and was at last Knocked
out himself by an aged gentleman
called John Barleycorn, who always
wins in the end with those who tackle
him too constantly.
Then there came loud cries from all
over England for a champion, and Tom
Johnson stepped to the front. There
had been so much cheating that the
istic art lost favor with the public,
but Johnson restored it's prestige.
He won many hard fights and
whipped several men of herculean
strength. His quietus came from a
rattling in the ribs administered by
fighter called Big Ben. He never fought
again, although he outlived the man
who took the championship from him.
When Big Ben died johnson was
among. the mourners who saw his body
respectfully inferred in ST. Sepulchers
church yard.
