LATTER DAY SAINT LECTURE.

Hon. George H. Crosby, assistant district attorney of Graham county. will this evening deliver an address at the Latter Day Saints church in the North Douglas addition. Mir. Crosby has the reputation of being a good speaker and the general pub lie is invited to hear him.
 Crosby was formerly resident of Apache county where he served a term as district attorney. Two years ago a number of the citizens of Apa- che county joined the joint statehood propaganda and for time it looked like there was no one in that county to raise a hand for Arizona or against the joining of the territory to New Mexico. The Apache county jointists were making a great noise and declaring that the sentiment for iointure was practically unanimous in that part of the territory. Crosby was attending court in Phoenix when he saw a statement from one of the Apache county jointists about the people being unanimous for joint statehood He branded the statement as erronious, declaring that there were hundreds of citizens in Apache county who would never consent to the proposition. He went home and Immediately started a campaign against the jointure crowd and while he failed to control the republican convention against joint statehood, he demonstrated that the county was
 not all one way.
 At the general election the county | only gave a very small majority in favor of iointure whereas it would
 have went strong for it had it moi been for the vigorous campaign
 made against it by Crosby.
 MT. Crosby moved to Graham coun ty just after the last election and during the past year he has held tho
 position Of district attorney.-Douglas | Dispatch.

KEPT BOY OUT OF
 SCHOOL; IS FINED s

Perhaps for the first time within the history of the local courts a man has been arrested and fined on the charge of failing to keep his child in the public schools This action oc- cured today in Justice Rice-s court.
 Under the compulsory education statute Manuel Brown, an American citizen of part Mexican percentage, was today arrested on complaint sworn to by Superintendent w. E. Lutz of the public schools, charging that Brown had kept his son Manuel Brown, jr., out of the schools Of the city in violation of the law. The pa rent pleaded guilty and, this being the first offense, the minimum fine of s5 was imposed.
 It is intimated that other arrests of this character are liable to be made if some parents in the city dc not show an inclination to place theiI children in school and keep them there.-Douglas Dispatch.

Lucky For Her.

Little Gertie was on a visit to her three maiden aunts, the sisters of her mother. Each of them held distinct and original views as to how children should be brought up. Aunt Maria thought little girls should be seen and not heard, Aunt Eliza thought they should be neither heard nor seen, and Aunt Jane was certain that little girls should not be at all. These views they expressed freely to Gertie as they sat one evening in the drawin room with their niece. The converse ton, being one sided, however, began to flag, and Gertie sat meditatively gazing into space.
 "of what are you thinkingr Aunt Maria asked her sharply.
 'T was just thinking what a lucky thing 1t was that father married the sister he did" said the little girl.
 Why was it that Gertie was sent home next morning?-London Tit-Bits.

POSITIONS SCARCE,
WORKERS PLENTY
Army of Unemployed Great
er Than in Many
Years.

So great Is the demand for work in
Washington at this time that officials
of the Government and some of the
city's largest employers believe that
there now are in this city more unem-
ployed men and women than for years.
From the head OF bureaus and divi-
sions, from members Of Congress. from
the Civil Service Commission and from
the heads OF business establishments,
comes the universal chorus Of not
enough work in washington at this time
OF the year for the people here. AT the
Associated Charities, the same story is
told.
Members Of Congress who are stll
in the city tell Of the many applications
that are being made TO them every day
for work. and they say II comes as a
rule in this form:
Il don't care what it is, so long as it
Is work. What need is enough en-
ploynent TO give me food and clothing. -
One Representative told the following
story today:
You can gain some idea Of the scare
ity OF work by the experience a former
constituent Of mine had. He was In a
good place few months ago, and, be-
ing a competent worker, he was well
paid It became necessary, however. to
make a reduction in the stan Of en-
ployes where he worked. and he was
one OF those Who had TO go.
From that time until yesterday. his
career was an endless search for en-
ployment. He started out to get a clerk
ship. but the applicants for such work
Ia every place he entered were nuTner-
Gus enough TO show him the folly of
waiting for such a lob.
With the best Recommendation nos
sible in his pocket, he was unable 10
get in In despair, he turned to the la
Dor Held ana tried 10 get either q tenn
pOrdry or permanent Job as q labOrer
under the Government. There. too.
there was a waiting list ahead OF him.
yesterday succeeded in getting him a
small clerkship in a private Establish

But his experience Of looking in vain

how hard II is TO get work in Washing
