BY HELEN DAVIS.

Maggie Dorr sat In the little bedroom
where she had slept every night of her
lfe-when not absent from home on an
occasional visit to some relative-and
listened 10 the excited discussion going
on in the adjoining sitting room. The
argument was caused by herself-the dis.
position OF her. body and soul. as II
were.
That morning Maggie's dear mother.
who had been an invalid for two years,
and who on the previous day had died,
was buried in the little graveyard at
the edge Of the pretty town: and only
two hours had passed since Maggie. with
bleeding heart and tear-dimmed eyes.
had returned from the sad ceremonial at
tending the funeral OF her dearest and
best friend on earth. Maggie's father
had died while she was but baby and her
mother had been her ouly dearly loved
one. brayeiy striving to support herself
and little daughter with her needle I'LL
ill-health had forced her TO take TO her
bed. Then IL was that Naggie's fathers
kinsfolk had felt called upon to assist
Ned's widow and daughter" though that
assistance" had been so meagre that
the widow and child had often felt the
need Of the barest necessities OF life.
And now that ''Ned's widow had
gone to join Ned" they-the kInsfolks
tall well-to-do)-were discussing the
question OF the orphan, Maggie, scarcely
fifteen years old. And Maggie. heavy
hearted and without soul to love her,
and without home or means OF support,
sat listening 10 the confusion of male
and female voices that reached her from
the old sitting room where she and her
darling mother had spent so many happy
years together. For poverty had not
robbed them Of happiness while Mrs.
Dorr was able to earn a simple living
for them.
We'll. It's this way" said Maggie's
uncle John: AFTER Ned's death / con-
tributed fuel and clothing every winter
to his widow and child. And then after
bis widow lost her health. / gave ten dol
lars every month towards her support.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT PRESS
AGENT.

In writing of Roosevelt. the Press
Agent, no word Of disrcspect Is meant,
for no feeling of disesteem is enter
tanned. What shall be said will be
based upon personal experience of
about d year as assistant press agent
under the president, and close obser-
walton extending over the entire period
of his Occupancy OF the White House.
To be more specific and give my sim
pie narrative the virtue of frankness
and directness l shall make a confess
sion at the outset, to wit: For the
greater part of a year l was what is
known in Washington as one OF the
presidents newspaper cuckoos. In the
parlance of Washington. a cuckoo is a
journalistic bird that is permitted TO
make it's principal roOst close to the
executive chamber and report for the
delectation of his editor for the en-
lightment OF the public and the accom-
mofitiOn of the president such outgiv-
ings or internal operations of the presi-
Dental mind as may suit the purpose
or the within of the nations chief mag
istrate.
There are in Washington about two
hundred men whose principal vocation
is the gathering of news and its dis
semination TO the four corners of the
earth. Not over forty of this number
at any one time or period can boast
the proud title Of cockoo. He who is
cuckoo today may find his place upon
the perch taken tomorrow by another
bird of fairer plumage. for the cuckoo
wots not at what hour he is to be di-

vested of his honors, his privileges and
immunities. 1t is as much the presi-
dents prerogative TO choose his assist
ant press agents as to select the mem
bers of his cabinet, and it is as incum-
bent upon the one as the other to step
aside whenever the president indicates
a desire for a change. And when the
deposed cuckoo fiutters with broken
wing from his roost under the White
House eyes he may find that his editor
has separated him from his salary.
Sometimes he does and sometimes he
doesn't. But as this, too, is all in the
days work it has no proper place in
this discussion.
Rarely does the president communi-
cate with more than one Of his cuckoOs
at a time. Occasionally he assemblies
the whole flock and pours out to them
en- masse the thoughts he has formed
or is forming upon subject of greater
or less public interest. In his handling
Of his assistant press agent he observes
the Napoleonic method OF not entrust-
ing the full details of a campaign to
any one of them. If the assistant press
agent be the representative Of a Wash
ington newspaper Mr.. Roosevelt may
impart to him a fuller mass Of detail
than to the representative of a news
paper elsewhere. The reason for this
is obvious. The Washington newspaper
is read by the members of Congress
and other public men in all parts of
the country. Thus, if il suit the presi-
dents purpose better TO plant the seeds
first in the minds OF the peoples SER
wants preliminary to sowing the whole
broad field. he will employ his Wash
ington cuckoo to make primary an

PHOENIX AS HOST
SHOULD BRACE up
A Movement to Put Things in Order
and Decorate During Fair Week.

The complaint has been made in
some quarters that Phoenix as a city
and the host of the territorial fair, had
never done anything, or at least had
done little to show her appreciation of
the fact that the fair is held here. The
comment made by these critics is not
intended as a polite way of asking tor
money nor is it forgotten that the bUsi-
ness men of Phoenix made the fair pos
sible by the organization of the fair
association, but what is meant is that
the city itself has not put on its good
clothes, cleaned up the streets, deco
rated the town and otherwise put the
house in order to make a nice impress
sion on visitors when they come.
These things were called TO the atten-
ton of a number OF business men
Thursday and at once the latter called
"A general meeting of business men for
2 o'clock Monday at the board of trade
TO consider these things. and especially
the matter of decorations. 1t is not
proposed to undertake anything eX-
travagant and it is altogether likely
that many business houses will be in
dividually decorated as heretofore by
their owners. 1t is believed though by
those behind the movement that there
should be some general plan for placing
streamers across the streets, covering
up the electric poles and giving the
town n holiday appearance. while the
municipality should clean up the streets
and order the debris and displays and
other impedimienta off the sidwalks,
for they will be none too wide during
fair week.

this mineral first became known of. but
1t came into use probably soon after the
stone age. As warfare dominated lie
mind Of man at that remote period, 1t IL
only reasonable TO suppose that iron was
FIRST employed In the making OF weapons.
The most ancient records mention the
use Of iron. and we have reason to be-
lieye that this most useful of useful
metals was known many thousands OF
years before the Christian era. II Is 4
recorded fact that among the earlier peo-
pies iron was held as infinitely more valu-
able than gold.
To quote from one writer on the SUD
ject OF iron and its many uses:
1.-THE most remarkable remnant OF early
work In iron Is the famous wrought-iron
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1907-10-26

Children, when you see an Old Iron bolt.
nail or hook you do not stop to think
about the great Importance OF the metal
1t is made from. Yet It would be difficult.
indeed. to imagine the world getting on
without iron; for today it = the most
necessary metaIin use. Should the sup
ply of iron suddenly give out and all that
Is now in use be destroyed by rust we
should go backward numberless centuries.
The same cannot be said Of any other
metal in existence. We could get along
without gold. silver. tin and copper. While
these metals are vastly useful the world
could go on in It's advancement without
them, for there would be found a sub
stitute for each.
We have no way OF knowing just when
