 It was a great day for Phoenix, one of those days she likes to show her visitors, just to prove to them that hot weather don't hurt anything. It is only a little uncomfortable for those who are so unfortunate as to have too many clothes. Those who lay aside their chOkers and overcOats, and let Nature do the rest, laugh and enjoy it. The disease germs burn up and the good-health germs multiply, real estate keeps on advancing and everybody is happy. Nobody dropped dead with the heat yesterday, nor even had a fit be- cause the air was dry and healthful. Down east, with that kind of a tter- mometer, there would have been mo- body working but the doctors and the undertakers. It is this kind of weather that puts all that class of professionals on the bum in Arizona, or it would if It lasted long enough, but Phoenix is liberal and willing to give the doctors

TEMPE
THE DOUBLE BUTTE SCHOOL
1t Is Estimated That $50 Will Repair
 The Damage Done There.

A committee consisting of Albert Miller. J. B. McNeil and Sam Brown yesterday made trip to the Double Butte school for the purpose of look ing over the damage done there a few days ago by a trio of Tempe youths. The investigation was made at the instance of the parents of two of the boys and the committee was selected with a view to finding three men who were totally disinterested in the mat ter one way or another. The gentle men made the trip. looked over the situation and returning to town re- ported substantially as follows. First, that the damage done was not nearly as serious as at first supposed. Five windows were either totally smashed os so badly damaged that new ones will be required. However, they were in bad shape in the first place. Many of the desks and seats were overturned but none were broken. Several wall maps and charts were destroyed by the boys, but Ney, like the windows. were in an advanced stage of decom- position. A number of boxes of chalk had been scattered about the floor and this coat had been followed by all the ink that could be found. There was total absence of obsence writing on the walls as was reported to be the case by one paper. Two members of the committee in conversation with the tporter said they felt that if the building was cleaned up thoroughly and the broken windows replaced, the trustees Of the district should feel that proper reparation had been made This it is figured will cost about S30. It is probable that if the trustees will agree to a settlement on this basis. the matter will not be carried further It is quite likely that the three lads mixed mp in the trouble will be given an opportunity to clean up the school 1g1diRg. under the direetion Qf G9me elder person

MESA
NEW VALLEY EXPERIMENT
Seed Given Out By Government Ex-
 Perimental Station Growing Fine
Tr-s-r+rrrs-r!


W. A. Peterson, connected with the government experimental station at Yuma, was in Mesa yesterday. com ing here from Buckeye and Glendale districts where he had been engaged in examining the growth of Egyptian cotton plants which had been given 70 some of the farmers in those sections. Seven of the residents of Buckeye. and seven in Glendale and three in Mesa were each supplied with enough seed to plant one-fourth of an acre.
 MT. Peterson states that the plants in the Buckeye and Glendale districts are doing splendidJy, and now average from eighteen to twenty-four inches in height. This is considered T good growth and will insure the plants be- ing five or six feet high by Septem- Der. at which time the picking season for this product will begin. This gen erally lasts to the middle of the month of December.
 Egyptian cotton has a longe. stronger and finer staple than has the cotton known as the upland. which is the variety generally grown in the south. The Egyptian cotton produced on the yield test plat at Yu- ma last year, averaged two bales. or ore thousand pounds per acre, and yielded a first-class fibre.
 The average yield of the upland cot ton raised in the south, is one-third Of bale to the acre, or one-six of what the test plat al Yuma produced. This brought twenty-one and nine tcnths cents per pound, on the Boston market, while that of the upland averaged twelve cents on the same

 When the quotations were highest, labout mid afternoon, there was quite a furry created by a report that Jupi- ter Pluvius was about to declare a div idend and clouded messengers were seen hurrying and scurrying from his office in the sky. He pooled his strength, though, with the wind god. and nothing came of it except hot air that threw dust in the eyes of those who were out on the street enjoying the weather and watching the barom-

IN SEMI-PRINCESSE STYLE.

THE ssmi-princesss
 \ dress, or the
 9 dress that consists of a bloess and and a skirt joined by banis of insertion or other belt, is one of the favorites of the season and it is SO charming and so attractive that 1t seems likely to gain indefinite favor. This one includes an oddly shaped yoke. which is made oi tucking, while the material itself is dotted Swiss. It is simple yet graceful and bsoomsng and does not involve any great amount of labor. Before joini g tn e blouse and the skirt it is necessary only to make each separately and to baste the skirt to a belt then to gather the blouse on the waist line and to adjust the skirt over the blouse on the wearer. When the belt is pasted to position it becomes a quite easy matter to stitch 1t into place and to cover with insertion and to cut the material away beneath.

Stunu the Lawyer.

The famous Beau Hickman Of Wash
ington was once a witness in a pending
case and, having testified in the course
of his examination in chief that the
client of the attorney on the other side
was without funds, was being sharply
cross examined by that barrister. Kick
man averred that the client had him
self told him Of his penniless state. The
lawyer insisted that the exact Ian
guage be repeated. Hickman hesitat-
ed, but when pressed under threat OF
contempt proceedings he finally said,
swell, sir, If I must answer. he told
me this morning that he had no mon
ey." swell, sir, what language did he
use?" "Why, asked him to lend me
half dollar, and he said he couldn't,
for you had robbed him Of every cent
Of his money and If he didn't get out
Of your clutches very soon his children
would starve."
By the time the laughter had sub
sided and the lawyer had time to col
lect his thoughts the case was decided
against him.

Deadly Insult.

A New York youngster was caught
literally wiping up the street with
another boy with whom he was sup
posed to be on especially friendly
terms. The detector of his pugilistic
encounter was his mother, who, after
she bad yanked him into the house
proceeded to deliver lecture on the
sin of fighting. The boy listened for
a while in silence.
That's all right" he broke out at
last in uncomfortable indignation. Its
all right for you to talk, but if you
just knew what he said about you"
The pause was significant. The
mother took alarm.
About me?" she said. why, what
on earth did he say about me?"
"He said" blubbered the small boy
In impotent wrath, that you-wear-
petticoats."

Whittier AZ Close RANGE.

Whittier belonged to those natures
who would advance with frmness and
Joy to martyrdom In q good cause, but
are never comfortable in society, and
who impress one with the idea that
they would like to run out Of the door
at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the
society Of congenial friends as did the
Quaker poet. No one relished a good
story more or related one With better
grace. His sense Of the ludicrous was
very vivid, and the absurdities OF life
and it's situations struck him never
more forcibly than when they involved
himself. AS Whittier's nephew and
biographer has asserted, it would be a
mistake to suppose that gentleness was
a necessity Of his nature. His was In
reality the result Of resolute self con-
troll and the habitual government OF
tempestuous spirit. Indeed, the poet
had his shrewd, assertive and almost
vindictive side, else he had never been
so successful a politician and reform

ran her fingers over the keys in soft
little minor harmonies. Ackroyd wait

piano and bent over her. Something
glistened on her lashes. and there was
a shining streak down either cheek.

happily.
