And so Baroness Martha and Prince

ACONFESSION.

DEAR little boy, with wondering eyes
- That for the light of knowledge yearn,
Who have such faith that 1 am wise
And know the things that you would learn
Though oft shake my head and smile
To hear your childish questions dow.
I must not meet your faith with guile;
cannot tell do not know.
Dear little boy. with eager heart.
Forever on the quest Of truth.
Your riddles oft are past my art
To answer to your tender youth.
But some day you will understand
The things that now cannot say.
When life shall take you by the hand,
And lead you on it's wondrous way.
Dear little boy. with hand in mine.
Together through the world we fare
Where much that I would fain divine

Like you. with Kidding words I ask,
Like you. l hold another hand,
And happy when do my task,

WHY Santa Made No Mistakes

MOLLY and Tim were dear little twins,
Exactly alike were they;
And that was why their stockings were marked
By their mamma on Christmas day.
This stocking is Molly's," she wrote on card
And this one is Tins on another
"Molly's dear little six-year-old,
And Tim is her cunning twin brother"
And when down the chimney old Santa came
He read from the cards Alright,
And that is why he didn't mix up
The twins toys on Christmas night.

and it is satisfaction to know that in a few months some of the most striking of it's practical results will be published by a body of English scientists"
 Briefly, the law which seems to touch the ultimate mysteries of her edity, is this: When pure stock or strains are crossed, it is found that a certain list of qualities remain, so to speak, indestructible, and appear uncontaminated in a definite propor- tion of the offspring of all genera tions after the first.
 Some concrete examples will best show the practical effect of the law. When the tall variety of sweet pea and the short variety of sweet pea are crossed, the first generation are all tall. Tallness is the dominant quality over shortness, which is call ed recessive. But in the second gen eratiOn it is found that just one quarter are dwarf, and not only are they dwarf. but they will remain pure dwarf, without any reversion, and when crossed with dwarf will never again show signs of tallness. The other three -quarters will be tall, and of these tall again just quarter will be pure tall, and never again show signs of dwarfness. The re- maining wo-quarters will be impure, but again when crossed with their like will give both pure tails. pure dwarf, and mongrels in due prOpor- tion. So that we find in all grand children, so to speak. of pure strains the proportion 1:2:1 has a mystic ap- plication-that is, One-quarter of these grandchildren will be exact or pure reproduction in one quality of their grandmother, one-quarter will be pure reproductions of their grand father, and two-quarters, though re- sembling one grandparent, will have latent in them the qualities of both.

WHY SuFFER7
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath.
 some Catarrh Germs.

some Catarrh Germs.
 Just as long as you have catarrh your nose will itch, your breath will be foul, you will hawk and spit. and you will do other disgusting things because you can't help yourself. The germs of catarrh have got you in their power; they are continually and consistently digging into and irritat- ing the mucous membrane of your nose and throat They are now mak- ing your life miserable; in time they will sap your entire system of it's energy, it's strength, its vigor and vitality.
 If you do not kill the loathsome germs of catarrh, their desperate as- saults will in time undermine your reason, rob your brain of it's bril- liancy and activity. and leave you not only a physical but a mental wreck.
 This picture is not overdrawn: the writer has seen thousands of just such cases. He has personally eXpe- rienced the demoralizing results that come from the ravishing attacks of the horrible catarrh germs. the great est pest of civilized nations.
 But there is one remedy that will kill the germs and cure catarrh, and that is Hyomei, the Australian dry air treatment. There may be other remedies, but they are not guaran- teed as the Larson Drug Co. will guarantee Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money back. Don't delay this pleas ant antiseptic treatment. Every day vOu allow these germs to exist in your system brings you nearer to complete demoralization. The Larson Drug Co. will sell you a complete Hyomei outfit for only $1.00. Ask them about it. It is also guaranteed to cure bronchitis, asthma, coughs, colds and hay fever.

Prescription for Rheumatism
 and Kidney Trouble
Save This or Hand It to Some Afflicted One as it is Eas- lily Mixed and Harmless.

The following prescription for the cure of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles has no doubt been filled millions of times, viz: Fluid Extract DandeliOn, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces. These simple. harmless in gredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and are mixed by shaking well in a bottle.
 The dose for adults is a teaspoon ful after each meal and at bedtime. drinking a full tumblerful of water after each dose. It is stated that this prescription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary difficulties, espe- cially of the elderly people. and one of the best things to be used in rheu- matic afflictions, relieving the aches and pains and reducing swellings.
 A welI-knOwn authority states that this mixture acts directly upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys; cleanses these spOngelike organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause of rheumatism.
 If your back or sides ache and you suspect kidney trouble it would be wise to try this for few days.

of ofI thus insuring a smooth sur face and one that will be sufficiently hard to withstand hard usage, such as may be expected in a school room Provisions were also made for wir- ing the building for telephones, this matter having been left out of the
 original plans. It was also decided
 that the black boards should be in cluded in the general contract as a part of the walls.
 With the changes above noted, the plans and specifications were accept
 ed and the secretary of the board
 was instructed to advertise for bids to be received not later than 1 pm. on the afternoon of Nov r, 1908.
 The plans and specifications may be
 seen at the office of Mir. Knipe at
 14 North 2nd Ave. Phoenix. or at
 the office of J. C. Mullen, clerk Of
 the board at Tempe.
 Three contracts will be advertised
 for; one known as the general con tract is the one referred to above and includes the building. plumbing, electrical wiring. painting. etc. The | second contract is for the heating and venilating systems and the third
 is for a program clock system, one similar to the one that has for some time past been in use at the normal with good satisfaction. The plans and | specifications of the last two con | tracts may be seen only at the Los ' Angeles office of Architect Marsh, as it is not presumed that any one in | this section will be in a position to make a bid on either contract. This | sort of work is usually taken up by people who make a business of that 1 class alone and it is thought that l Los Angeles will be the most general ] point where representatives of such ! firms may look over the plans.

MESA'S CONTRIBUTION
 TO TERRITORIAL FAIR
Coming Regularly and Mesa Is. As sured a Good Representation.

Sured 6ooo HepreSentation.
 J. c. Spangler, one of the fair com missioners. is being notified daily either personally or by letter of some one who wishes to make an exhibit of some kind to be displayed at the Ter ritorial fair Most of these of course are being made by the farmers and stock growers, the latter having signified their intention of entering some fine stock this year. Altogether Mesa ought to be well represented. Some of the proposed entries are rather unique: for instance, one which D. D. Smith states he will probably make. an oppossum. While Mir. Smith of course cannot lay claim to this species as being a native of the ter ritOry, still he thinks that this par ticular 'possum is worthy of being ex- hibited as showing the much larger growth of this Arizona fed animal over those raised in Dixie Land"
 It should be borne in mind by the ladies particularly that there are sev- eral tempting prizes offered for cakes. jellies, preserves, home made bread, fancy work. quilts. woven ngs and many other articles which will come under the head of womans department which the ladies of this place and vii cinity should not overlook. MT. Spangler states that he has already had one entry for fancy work, and it is certain that Mesa can furnish many more.
 As has been previously stated the different exhibits can be brought di- rect to MT. Spangler himself or left at the chamber of commerce rooms, where they will be taken care of. Nothing will help to advertise Mesa in a local way at least, more than to have a fine representative exhibit at the coming fair, and therefore every one who is interested in the future of this section Of the valley and who is in a position to make a display there of any kind should see to it that he does not fail to make such an exhibit.

MONDAYS FIGHTERS
 FINISHED IN COURT
Their Cases Were Disposed of and Another One Gotten Under Way.

The numerous fights of Monday made business for Justice Wickliffe yesterday and all hands came up for hearing. The two colored gentle men who punched each others faces twice during the day on Monday were assessed ten days each or $6 in cash. One paid the cash and the other went to jail.
 The three -cornered Mexican fight which resulted in broken windows and black eyes also had a continual ton in court yesterday. The par ticipants were brought into court and were fined ten dollars each. They paid up like men and went on their respective ways rejoicing.
 Another matter of a different kind was brought up before the justice yesterday and has been continued until tomorrow. Some time ago Frank Blake lost a Jersey COW. Some quail hunters in the river below the slaughter house Sunday came upon a fresh hide and it was brought to town and Mir. Blake's attention was attracted to the incident. He was able, by certain brands and marks, to identify the hide as that of the COW that strayed away from his place or was stolen. Suspicion in some man. ner was attached to Juan RomO, the East Tempe butcher. and at the in stance of Mir. Blake, Romo was ar rested. He was released upon giving a $500 bail signed by A. A. Celaya and Felipe Gonzales His trial will come up tomorrow.
