 ON ROOSEVELT ROAD
E. 4. Carr Goes From Phoenix to the Damsite, Looks Things Over and Returns the Same Day.

The feature of distance no longer means anything to travellers who care To visit Rooseevlt dam site. providing they have a good motorcycle and know how to ride it. F. A. Carr of Phoenix spent last Sunday in Roosevelt. jog ging up in the morning and jogging back again in the evening. spending the middle of the day looking things over. It is hardly fair 10 say he jog ged on the uphill trip. The truth is that he went like a rocket. He was mounted on a Curtiss machine and left Phoenix at o'clock am. arriving in Roosevelt at S:25 am. a little matter of four hours and twenty-five minutes, and it is an up grade pull at that. Af- ter he got tired of loitering around Roosevelt he turned the machine to- ward home and taking his time spent about six hours on the down trip. Sus- pecting that some doubtful person might not take his word for this achievement. Mir. Carr hunted up J. C. Evans, justice of the peace in Roose- welt. and made the following affidavit: IF A. Carr being duly sworn says that he left Phoenix. Arizona. at , o'clock am. August II. 1907. on a Cur tiss motorcycle. and arrived at r. O. in Roosevelt Arizona, on some machine. at 9:25 o'clock am. Aug. II, 1907. ,Signed)

a Bakers Dozen.

Away back in the first half OF the
seventeenth century, relates the Philadel-
phia Times, when Albany, \. Y, was
merely Dutch settlement, there lived in
that town man with the modest little
name of Baas Volckert Jan Petersen Van
Amsterdam.
B. V. J. P. Van Amsterdam was
baker and famous He was the inventor
of our gingerbread, boys, and of special
New Years cakes filed with caraway seeds.
Van Amsterdam was the most popular baker
in Albany, because his bakings were good.
He is reported as having been good him
self, great churchman, and If little
stingy, no one dared to say so.
Now, on New Years night, in 1854,
Herr Van A. was watching the old year
out, and thinking of the sales he had made
when there was a sharp little tattoo at the
door. The latch was raised, and in from
the cold stormy winds of the Hudson blew
a little old woman, very old, indeed.
She came right up to Baas, and said in a
high cracked voice:
s'Give me dozen New Year cookies!'
But when Baas had counted them out
for her, she set up perfect howl, so that
the people said that the wind had been
very shrill that night.
"a dozen dozen 7 she cried. ''Iou
have given me only twelve.
Then the frugal Dutchman lost his tenn
per, and asked her out; and away she
went grumbling, and with her went all OF
Baas Volckert Jan Petersen Van Amster
dams s good luck.
The very next day his bread fell, the
yeast soured, his cakes burnt. Then
things grew even worse. Whole bakings
would suddenly be drawn up the chimney, Oh
fall through the oven to the cellar. Bricks
were torn from the fireplace and thrown
at the poor Dutchman.
Then the old woman came again, but
Baas was not to be moved-he would not
be moved-he would not give thirteen
for twelve-and away few the witch.
After this his wife became deaf, his child
rem fell ill., and at last, broken in spirit,
on the third and last visit Of the old
woman, he gave her what she askeo
and prosperity came back 50 fast that
every one marveled.
All the custom of Albany flowed into
B. V. J. 2. Y. As; everyone wanted
the extra cake, and the other bakers had
to adopt the custom established by theil
leader
So thirteen became the regular number
of ''baker's DOZEN and 50 remained
until after the Revolution, which changed
some things for the better, others for the
worse, as we have just shown.

An Easily Tried Headache Cure

acknowledge its efficacy after a trial.
Nobody has as yet discovered or for
mulated reason why such process should
bring certain relief. Physicians say that it
is probably because the reflex action Of the
body brings about reflex action of the
brain, and thus drives away the pain that,
when produced by nervousness, is the
result of too much going forward. As
soon as you begin to walk backward, how.
ever, there comes feeling of everything
being reversed and this is followed by relief.
The relief is always certain and generally
