people have time to eat a meal satis- lfactorily and stop % taste the good things as they slip away where they will do the most good. This time Sun day morning was designated for the mornings are ideal, notwithstanding
 the Salt river valley just at this sea son is held by the hip between dog days and Indian summer, and of all days. Sunday is the best for town folks
 to get out into the country and breathe the pure, free air of heaven.
 Six young women and a gentleman chaperone from the store found it
 possible to accept the invitation yes terday morning and took an early car
 to the Indian school. where they were met by conveyances from the Yaple ranch, to which they were taken at once, and welcomed in the spacious and delightfully."- appointed ranch home,
 with big rooms, broad verandas and could think of. The house is surround
 ed by attractive grounds with shrub bery and flowers, that make 1t about
 the sort of place one reads about in
 the first chapter of Hearts and Dag
 gers" or the life story of a love-lorn
 maiden. In the big rooms are fine
 collections of curiOs from Hawaii, old
 Mexico and other foreign lands and
 the guests were informally turned
 loose to make themselves at home,
 and they did so. It was not long until the breakfast announcement came. The
 meal is not to be described in detail,
 oniv hinted at. but it is stated in con fidence that it began with green apple
 pie served with rich cream Think of
 that. you hungry miilionaires. who

 ming a meal with the sort of good things that Newport can indulge in only as dessert, to tempt an appetite already constitutionally played out by courses ran through the whole list of country luxuries that radiate from fried chicken as a central figure, fin ally ending with coffee and crullers.
 That is all the story there is to tell. The rest is left to the imagination, eX- cept that the GOldwater people got hack home shortly before noon, happier than it was supposed anybody could be made just by getting something fine to eat. There is a moral in this for the reader back in the United States who imagines Arizona is still in the era of the camp fire and the irving pan, though in their proper places even the Arizona camp fire and irving pan are responsible for more joy than the cooking ranges in the kitchens of dyspeptic affluence.

How the Employees of Goldwater G

There are all kinds of social func- ciablest" sort of a time that ever hap pened occurred yesterday morning at the ranch home of MT. and Mrs. J. M. Yaple one and a half miles northwest of the Indian school The guests of the occasion were the salespeOple of M. GOldwater & Bro, and the official name of the event is a Sunday morn ing breakfast"
 Sunday dinners have been famous the country over from the earliest times, along with picnics and like di- versions, but the Sunday morning breakfast. the pay it is served by the Naples, beats them all city block and four miles and a half in the country. The Naples are an elderly couple and personally just as popular as their breakfasts, which is no small measure of praise, according to those who can judge by experience. Unlike some peo- pie of advancing years. they do not consider that to be youthful is crime. and for that reason they rather like young people, having full confidence that they will overcome their youthful ness if they live long enough. They keep close watch on the Goldwater clerks and every now and then when they think the young folks look more hungry than usual they invite them out for a nice bite to eat in the coun- try. They generally name Sunday for that is about the only day busy towns

ROGERS WAS JAILED
 BY TUCSON MARSHAL
Officer Sullivan Will Bring Back the
 Man Who Robbed the Ford Hotel.

Policeman Sullivan, who went to Tucson yesterday to play ball, imag- ined he was on a vacation, but he was mistaken, for Marshal Moore yesterily p!pJned him to take charge of James Po gera, charged with burglarizilg the Ford hotel, and bring him back to Phoenix from the custody of Marshal Hopelv of Tucson. Rogers must be an ill-tempered person to spoil Officer Sullivan's vacation this way. for he only left here Saturday night and might just as well have remained nera to be arrested as to put the police of both cities to lot of extra trouble.
 Last Friday, Theodore Haffner of the Ford hotel, employed Rogers to do some cleaning around the premises. which he did very satisfactorily. though he was not given permission to search the house and drag away valuables. Saturday morning, Night Clerk Guern- sey chanced to pass by an apartment occupied by George W. Schwartz. a bartender in the employ of the hotel. The door was open and he recognized Rogers, who emerged from the room hastily and made a sneak toward the alley. Marshal Moore was summoned and followed his trail to First avenue, thence to the Central school house, and still further east, where he was lost in the shuffle of humanity An examination of the room revealed the absence of a six-shooter and a diamond stick pin and some other minor valu- ables, such as a change of socks, etc.
 The facts were telephoned to Chief of Police Hopely of Tucson, who was given a description and told to be on the lookout for Rogers. In some way the latter made the Saturday night train or yesterday mornings excursion without detection at this end, but found Chief HOpely waiting for him at the other. Yesterday the latter re- ported his catch to Marshal Moore who directed that he be turned over to Officer Sullivan. When arrested ROg- CTS had Schwartz's gun, but the dia- mond was not found.
