THE DOUBLE HOLIDAY.
BY DEAN COLLINS.

D1 DEAN COALlNOs
Since in the days of "auld lang syne, -
Pennoyer, in his modest way,
A week before the President,
Declared the "glad Thanksgiving
Day."
In all the land there has been none
| Who dared to do what he had done.
But now, upon our history's page,
T Pennoyer's name grows dim,
For jolly George E. Chamberlain
Has out-Pennoyered him;
Because the stunt that he has done
Gives us two holidays in one.
How shall the sun across the sky,
That azure dome sublime,
Describe his orbit to achieve
These two days at time?
Did George and Theodore foresee y
How difficult that stunt would be?
Perchance, in sooth, they do intend
That, in convivial way,
Among our many, many friends,
Well spend that happy day,
Until our eye, turned toward the sky,
Will see two suns go scooting by.
Two glad Thanksgiving banquets
fair
Will make the table roar,
when we had single holidays,
1t only "groaned" before.)
Two turkey birds bereft of life
Will meet poor fathers carving knife.
With two rich pies, with two glad cups,
Each one will bury sorrow,
And have, in course Of Natures law,
Two headaches on the morrow;
While for the healing Of his ills,
He needs must pay two doctors bills.
Then to your task with double zest!
Thanksgiving Day We'll celebrate
By eating twice and drinking twice,
And doing it at twice the rate;
In gladstone fellowship, we'll gorge,
And honor Teddy r. and George.

Display sOf ChrySanthemum Better
Than That of Any Former
Year in Dallas.

The Chrysanthemum Fair and Ba-
zaar given by the ladies Of the Presby-
terian church at the Woodman Hall,
Friday afternoon and evening, was a
complete success, and great credit is
due the members of the various COM
mittees by whose conscientious efforts
this success was achieved.
Financially, the success Of the Fair
far exceeded the expectations of those
who conducted it, the receipts at the
door and the various booths amount
ing to $148.

first, Mrs. I. V. Lynch second; best
pink flower, Mrs. I. V. Lynch first,

William Kersey second; best white,
Mrs. Fl. B. Cosper first, Mrs. Martha
Cosper second; best bouqet, Mrs.
Addie Mayors first, Mrs. George
Conlee, second.
The display OF flowers was most
beautiful, and it was commonly re-
marked by those who attended the fair
that in size, color and symmetry, the
plants exhibited this year showed a
marked improvement over the entries
of previous years. An even greater
advance is anticipated in the Fair to be
held in 1908, since the interest in the
culture of fine chrysantheums is grow
ing continually.

H. Ruddick, Mrs. Willis Simonton,

There is quite spirit of improvement in evidence among the house owners in Mesa Yards are being cleaned up, houses painted, ditches cleaned and porches added. Some of the people are putting in telephones who never used them before. others are adding electric lights. one man is having his residence piped and will have water in every room. That is L. B. Johnson. who is always adding to the value of his home place by baking new i'm provements. He has his house porch ed" all round. and is now installing an electric motor which will be used to pump water into big tank which will supply the house and lawn with an abundance of water Mrs. Hill and Joe Phelps, living in the same neigh borhood, are having the new additions to their residences painted. If Mesa does not become the prettiest town in the valley, it will be because the en- thusiasm of some of it's leading citi- Zens fails to hold out long enough.

RESULTS OF THE STORM.
Much Damage Done to Trees, Avn
 ings and Telephone Lines.

It is needless to state there was a heavy wind ana rain storm here Sun day night. Every one knows that and about the only news there is to it is q summing up of the damage that was done by the wind. By daylight yes terday morning, property owners
 were out taking an inventory of what had occurred and 1t was quite . lot for this country. In town the heav- jest lose was Albert Miller. Nea.ly every awning On the Miller block was was destroyed or at least badly dam aged. Tn fact, Q single one, the one in front of EasterwoOd's confectionery
 store, escaped unharmed. The rest
 were scattered to the fou winds of heaven. The plate glass in IDhmann's
 barber shop was cracked and the sky light in the Mercantile was blown out.
 There was more or less oLlIs' damage
 on that side of the street and fhe um- brella tree at the corner was spit Ii
 was reinforced and drawn together yesterday and will probably survive the shock. The east side of the street fared much better. the wird cnmin:,
 most of the time from that direction.
 Little damage was done thcre but InrouSnout town many trees Wer''
 blown down and no little damage was incurred to property.
 The most damage. however, was
 worked upon the telephone lines. Yes terday morning about fifty phones m town were out of business and it will be a day or two before sll can be
 repaired as the same condition of at- fairs exists in Phoenix. All the avail able help the company possesses is be- ing used in making the repairs and 1t will be done as soon as possible. The suburban lines got a worse touch than
 the city lines. All the sub-lines ey- cepting one were put out of commits sion early in the storm. In one place, eight poles in succession were blown
 entirely down and the whole service is
 badly deranged. There were probably
 other minor happenings as a result of the unusually heavy wind that were not learned of yesterday. but taken as
 whole. the damage resulting was not nearly so serious as might be expected
 and Tempe escaped quite fortunately. So far as could be gathered from different parties yesterday the rain of Sunday night was very general on the
 south side, More water fell than most

M ESA'S RAIN.

It was not a heavy rainfall that Mesa received Sunday night, but it was sufficient to lay the dust. which had become oppressive. Reports from the farming section are to the effect that but very little damage was done to hay or crops. In town the high wind blew down a number of electric light and telephone poles. and several men were put on yesterday afternoon mak- ing repairs. After nine o'clock there were no lights in town.

THAT RIVER ROAD.

An article in, yesterday mornings Republican relating to the condition of the river road, was contributed by Arthur Anderson. whose name through some inadvertence was left out Mir.

In justice to the parties under whose supervision this road comes, it should he stated that work is now in progress there that when completed, will improve its present condition.

Would you take into consideration

FEAR THAT NEW PANEL
OF TALESMEN WILL BE
NEEDED TO COMPLETE JURY
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan 26.--Three days
of the trial of Harry K. ThaW have
passed and the net work of all this time
has been the selection Of seven Jurors.
To get these seven jurymen 1O1 tales
men, half the panel drawn, have been
examined.
While the lawyers engaged have be-
come so that the examination Of the
talesmen consumes less time than was
taken in the early stage of the trial the
talesmen themselves have become more
wary apparently and the excuses put
forward for not serving are varied and
ingenious.
1t is possible that the remaining five
jurors needed will be found in the 100
talesmen still awaiting examination.
but if yesterdays proceedings are any
criterion this is doubtful. Fifty men
We're examined yesterday and from this
number two jurors were secured. Five
were drawn from the fist fifty tales
men examined
The chief reason for the general de-
sire not to serve is probably found in
the order of Justice Fitzgerald prac
tically locking up the jurymen from the
time they are drawn until the trial is
over. This is an unusual proceeding
and as most of the talesmen are active
business men it involves possible finan-
cial loss beside the hardship.
About the only physical exercises the
jurymen selected enjoy now or are
likely to enjoy for some weeks, is tn,
little walk twice daily, accompanied by
court officers to and from the Broad
way Central hotel and the court house
The men are practically prisoners They
dine together and then spend the even
ing in chatting until they retire.
