Things Were Expected of Her.
Colette. the elder daughter Of Alexan-
/ DIRE Dumas. the younger recently died
in Paris. She was the wife OF DR.. Matza.
| The event has brought into print various
! recollections OF her childhood, when il
was the fashion TO prophesy that the
literary mantle Of her father and grand
father would descend upon her.
One story goes back 10 her sixth wear
when Charles Marcy, one Of a group of
newspaper men and dramatists who used
| the Dumas dining table almost as their
own. died. His legacy 10 Dumas was a
handsome portrait in oil of himself. and
when it arrived the whole family held a
somewhat fearful discussion as to where
it should be hung. which Colette cut
short by exclaiming: why, hang II in

which was Of vital Importance One day
he confided his troubles to Dumas. who
instantly replied IN get you the soIu-

Colette, who was seven or eight, be sent
TO him.
On her arrival he put on very solemn
air. and taking her in his arms told her
that he and her mother were going TO
separate, and Il was up to her to choose
which parent she would remain with. The
little victim Of the cruel experiment went
bitterly and pleaded against the separa-
ion, but when her father assured her IT
was inevitable, she thought a minute in
silence and then scbbed
We'll. papa. I'll stay with whichever
of you remains here at home"
Girardin had the solution of his prob-
lem.
One day the painter MeissonIer found
COlette crying bitterly over a book. He
took her in his arms 10 comfort her and
incidentally took a glance at the book.

CincO de Mayo Celebration.

The Mexican population of Metcalf
have made all necessary preparations
for the celebration of their national
holiday on the 9Th of May. Through
the hospitality of the A. c. company
large platform will be built for the
accommodation of the large crowd
that will congregate at the celebra-
ton. 1t will be attended by the Mex
leans from Clifton, Morenci, Metcalf
and the adjoining vicinity of the dis
trict. Speeches will be made by a
number of the most prominent Next
can leaders of the district, not by a
few selected ones as has been reported.
1t is useless to say that the celebra-
tion will be a success. During celebra-
ton the past few years the Mexican
population have succeeded in con-
Quoting their festivities without dis
turbances and it is likely that the APP
preaching one will be carried through
in the same manner.
