The sun Is lifting up Its head
And nodding to the world:
The morning glory's left its bed,
Its petals pink unfurled.
Dawn chased away the will-o'-wisp;
The owls no longer see;
The bird-notes float OUT clear and crisI
From yonder willow tree.
The brook Is ripping fresh and bright
Along the deep ravine.
Past violets blue and violets white,
Past ferns and grasses green
The dew has left the clover sweet
Where bees begin to hum;
And to the peoples in the wheat
The butterflies have come.

Refresh your weary eyes
Upon the beauties of the dawn
Meath summers country skies.

DWInDLIhG Of ARMY
GIVES CUE TO CRITICS
Military Men Say Force Is Reduced
Beyond Point of Safety for
the Nation.
NEED OF REFORM IN SERVICE.
Low Pay and Requirement of Hard
Practice Marches Are Main
Points of Attack.

The War and Navy Departments are
trying TO reach an agreement by which
the marines are to be withdrawn from
the Isthmus of Panama and two regi-
ments of infantry are to be sent to take
their places as guards. 1t is fully ex-
pected that before long two regiments
or foot will be on their way to the
canal zone. This divertlng of army
regulars to a new field Will mean that
the forces in the United States are to
be depleted beyond that which officers
believe to be the danger point.
The infantry problem is one of the
most serious factors in the greater
problem of the armys weakness. On
paper we are supposed to have $4,000
infantrymen, but in truth we have moth
ing like that number. and unless the
increase of pay bill pass Congress, it is
perfectly evident that the ranks will
be thinned still further. An army Off
Ger who knows conditions tells Wash
ington correspondent that in a case OF
emergency there would be less than
1000 infantrymen who could be brought
with anything like dispatch to any
threatened point within the limits of
the United States proper.
There are two chief army measures
now before Congress, one dealing with
the matter Of the increase of pay and
the other dealing with the matter of
the increase of the infantry. A CORE
spondent says there is precious little
hope that both bills can pass. 1t prob
ably would be folly to pass the second
bill without passing the first, for ii
would be useless to provide for an in
crease in the ranks if no inducements
were held out by which the increase
could be effected.
objections to Army Life.
Interviews with enlisted men disclose
three chief objections to army life, and,
in order of numerical precedent, they
rank like this:
Monthly practice marches.
Poor pay.
Non-military duty required of the en-
listed men.
Some of the ranking officers of the
army have inveighed constantly against
what they call the folly of the frequent
practice marches. The men are kept in
fine physical condition ana as hard as
walnuts through the daily drills, the
guard duty, the good food, and the reg
ular living generally. Yet they are
compelled at least once month to
hike out on the road under heavy bur-
dens and trying conditions for the pur-
pose of keeping in trim so that they
will be ready for the field in case of
hostilities. The practice march, fairly
long continued and to come at long in
tervals, has its uses. and the men like
it; but they don't ike it coming as it
does every three or four weeks.

 MONTHS BY CUTlCURA

|" had an itching, tormenting eczema ever since l came into the world, and am now a man fifty-five years old. 1 tried all kinds of medicines l heard of, but found no relief. 1 was truly in a frightful condition. At last my blood was so bad that 1 broke out all over with red and white boils, which kept growing until they were as big as wal nuts, causing great pain and misery. 1 thought they would take the skin off my whole body, but kept from scratch ing as well as I could. l was so run down that l could hardly do my work Mir. Nelson k. Burnett recommended the use of Cuticura Remedies, telling me he was confident they would benefit and, in time, cure me. l used the Cuti- cura Soap, Ointment, Resolvent, and Pills for about eight months, and I can truthfully say I am cured. l cordially recommend Cuticura Remedies to all who are afflicted the same as l was, be- lieving that, if they will use them according to directions, they will find them all they are represented to be. Any one doubting the truth of the above can write to Mr. Burnett, who will cheer fully vouch for my statements.

MEXICAN lAB0RER
 FATALLY STRICKEN
Heat Driven to His Head by the Water in Which He Was Working.

R c. Con streras, a laborer employed in the Chinese gardens on the old Henshaw ranch, south of the city, died suddenly yesterday afternoon. COro- her Johnstone was notified an inquest was held and it was found that death had resulted from heat but under un- usual conditions. Yesterday was not as warm a day as many have been and there was less humidity than there had been for days.
 But at the time he was stricken Contreras was engaged in irrigating and had been so engaged for some time. He was wading about in the mud and deep water. which colder than than the blood drove the heat into his heart and head. Some men who were working near by saw him collapse and sink down, holding his shaking arms above his head.
 When they went to him they found him unconscious. They carried him to the shade of a cottonwood tree and summoned assistance. Contreras lived two hours but never recovered con sciousness. He was a man of power full build and was not given to the use of intoxicating liquors which so far as can be recalled have been re sponsible for every case of so-called heat prostrations that have ever oc- currred in the valley.

DAMAGE SUIT BROUGHT
 BY JUDGE AINSWORTH
Constable Phelps of Mesa Defend ant in an Action For S2,00000.

Judge Ainsworth yesterday began damage proceedings against the off cials of Mesa in connection with his late arrests on a charge of violating the speed ordinance of that place. Suit was filed yesterday against Con stable NJ. c. Phelps and it was stat ed that on the return of Judge Ainsworth, who was getting ready to leave the city, actions would be in stituted against other officials.
 There are two counts in the com plain against Constable Phelps. one for each arrest. It is alleged in the first count that the plaintiff by req son of his arrest was compelled to eXpend in one way or another about S1.0O0, and that he was in duress for the period of two hours before his discharge on a write of habeas corpus by Judge Doan.
 On account of the second arrest the plaintiff was in custody for three hours and a half, lost twenty four hours in a journey to Tucson, was prevented from attending to busi- ness for that time and altogether was damaged to the amount of .$1, ,OOO.
 The papers were put into the hands of the sheriff and were served by Deputy Wayne Davis. Judge Still well and | J. Lipsohn are attorneys for Judge Ainsworth.
