AUSTRALIA WANTS NAVY.
British Admiralty Approves Scheme
for Building FlotiIa.

Melbourne, September 24-The British
admiralty has given its general approval
to.the scheme of the Australian common
wealth for the formation of fotila of
six torpedo boat destroyers, nine subma-
rines and two depot boats as the nucleus
of an Australian navy. The idea of build
ing up a local navy in Australia in lieu
of the customary annual contribution to
the imperial forces was given great i'm
petus by the recent visit of the American
battleships, and it is believed that parlia-
ment will vote readily the S., $50, 900 re-
quired for the construction of the sug-
gested fotilla. The officers and men will
total 1900, and will be provided by the
imperial navy. but they viii be paid by
the commonwealth, which will retain adj
ministrative control of the navy.

Doughnuts

One cup of sugar, one cup of milk,
One egg beaten fine as silk;
Salt and nutmeg demon will do),
Then of baking powder teaspoons two,
Roll on pie board, not too thin;
Cut in diamonds, twists or rings,
And lightly drop the doughty things
Into fat that briskly. swells
Evenly the doughty cells,
Watch them close the time for turning,
Have them brown, just short of burning;
Drain on paper, set to cool.
You can make good doughnuts by, this
rule.

that you have thought of me-" has growa
to have decidedly trite sound at Christ
time time and on birthdays. One might
say. indeed, that it has become a polite
formula employed to excuse the excuses
of those who have neglected us. How
ever, the words were fraught with real
meaning to a Birmingham matron who
one day this week passed another of the
milestones leading, as she jestingly re-
marked, to the little white lace caps
which she VOWS to affect during her old
ladyhood. She is the proudest mother
imaginable of her two sturdy little boys
and they are her most genuine admirers
On her birthday the lad aged 10 proud
ly brought to her his usual simple little
remembrance. The younger, who is ex-
actly the opposite of his dignihed and
thoughtful brother, had recklessly squan-
dered his nickles and dimes with no
thought Of his future need, and was
panic-stricken when the significance of
the day was made known to him. The
little fellow went, however, to his mother
and told her manfully of his trouble and
how sorry he was about 1t ALL receiving
from her the same sweet comfort that
mothers always give. 1t is all right,
she said. 1.-THE dearest thing you can
give me is your promise to be a good
boy. And just to know that you thought
of mother is enough" And that is why,
when she reached home late after her
visit to the opening and simultaneously
with the announcement of dinner, she
found that little hands had been very
busy making a pretty surprise for
her in the festive decorations of
vines and flowers He had chosen the
prettiest roses in the garden to place as
a central decoration on the table, and
pendent from the chandelier were vines
and a single big pink rose. A bunch of
flowers lay also at her place and lavish
efforts at festoons were noticeable on
the walls. For a chap only s. so the
mother says, things really were very ar
t1stic, and not thing was broken, though
he apparently crawled all over the walls.

this tribute from her son pleased the lit

 L V. Stewart considered it an honor to be on the ticket and assured the people if elected he would be found doing things.
 s. w. Higley was so embarrassed on account of there being so many ladies present that he hadn't much to say but remembered a story on Judge Phillips in which MT. Phillips asked a widow over at Mesa If her husband was still smoking
 Mir. Wilkinson very ably stated his views concerning an officer after elected. He said it was the duty of an officer to know no party after elec- ton but to do his duty to all alike. He also spoke of his qualifications for the office of district attorney.
 MT. Spaulding told the story about Judge Phillips asserting that he was not two-faced for certainly if he were he would be wearing the other one. Mir. Spaulding said he. Was out four years ago but this time was wearing another face, a winning face. and ask cd the ladies if it were not true. He said the vote for treasurer two years ago was a tie and he had been hunting diligently for that extra vote that would place him in office. Mir. Cowgirl promised the people, if elected, a business like administration such as they have never had.
 Judge Phillips resented the fact that they had already told all of his stories and made fun of him. but the judge was equal to the occasion and invent ed another story which brought down the house.
 Homer Davis acquainted the people that he would be much better known in two weeks than he is now. He said he was not tdo young for the office being 29 years old. but was too small. he had never had time to grow and he felt that the schools needed attention such as he was willing to give them.

 Mir Hosey made quite a telling talk. He condemned the road from here to Phoenix that the democratic candi- dates had praised. They viewed from different standpoints. We are inclined to agree with MT. Hosey that the road does not need little attention.
 Judge Johnstone asserted that he had shown no favors in performing the duties of his office as justice of the peace.
 Mir. Ferris for constable said he was an old timer here and wished the votes of the people. He said he had a speech eight miles long but the last bump in the road knocked it out of him.

 Say. uncle," he whispered with wink, do you know where I can get some whisky"
 T spec maybe I kin git yer some ef yer gin me de money" replied the suspected one.
 Well. here is a two-dollar bill" said the plain clothes man. "Tll wait in the alley here. Now hurry back"
 ''Yessah. boss, ef yell jes' hor dis box CT shoes fer me-" and the police man had the box under his arm be- fore he knew it. while the darky shambled off down the street, turning the first corner.
 Thinking he was on a warm trail and would soon have an important prisoner and witness with the goods on," the sleuth waited in patience. An hour went by. He was getting tired. Two hours. Still no signs of the messenger.
 Weary and discouraged, he return ed to the police station. Suddenly he remembered the shoes under his arm. and decided to have a look. The box contained. carefully wrapped, a full quart bottle of corn whisky.-Every- body's Magazine.
