He closed the door and went away.
By the time he had boarded the car
for town he knew that she was right
But the Christmas woman didn't
know that he was thinking this.
She was busy in her own room,
where. on a work table, lay white
shirt waist pattern stamped with a
graceful design for embroidering. She
had bought it for so cents, marked
down from one dollar because it was
the last. Hsr plan was to transfer its
design to other pieces of cloth which
she had in the house and so evolve
three shit waists, stamped for en-
broidering, to bestow on the three
nieces. who liked to embroider. And
all for so cents!
But the Christmas woman had just
begun work, trying bravely to forget
the hard-up husbands last words,
when she was called downstairs to see
the perfectly discouraged person.
whose plant was after this fashion:
"Oh, dear! It's nothing to me how
many shopping days there are to
Christmas. 1 can't buy a thing"
but, my dear" said the Christmas
woman, think what you can make out
of that luxurious box of pieces you
showed me the other day!"
Thereupon she poured forth many
suggestions about aprons and holders
and shoe bags and top collars-enough
to inspire a church bazaar.
"Oh, yes, but everything you make
costs a little for ribbon or something"
the perfectly discouraged person con-
Guided, at the end of her depressing
call. Il wish Christmas was past!"
Then she went straight home,

lions, schenaed out a plan for saving
a little money here and there, and
then fell to work on her Christmas
presents with new courage.
But that Christmas woman didn't
know this
She was getting at her own work
AGAIN. This time she worked for
fully five minutes undisturbed, then
another visitor claimed her-this time
the tired-to-death woman, who couldn't
get away from her teething baby to
go shopping, or to take one stitch on
Christmas presents.
GIVE me your list, and I'll shop
for you," the Christmas woman vol
unteered.
Mercy! l couldn't possibly tell
what | want without seeing things,
the tired-to-death woman protested.
Not until she was we'll on her way
down the street did she realize that.
with little planning, she might shop
by proxy after ALL The idea, once it
had penetrated her mind, pleased her
so much that she was smiling like a
really rested woman when she reached
home and sat down to make out her
list.
But the Christmas woman didn't
know this.
"Have l called you downstairs when
you were doing something impOr-
tant?" the dead-broke girl was asking
of the Christmas woman by that time.
I'm sorry if l have, but had to tell
you my troubles. I'm in debt up to
my ears. l haven't any right to give
Christmas presents this year. I'm
going to be cross until December &C."
ooh. mol" the Christmas woman
protested. ''Why, keeping CHEEKY is
one kind of giving! And at least you
can write Christmas letters"
why, who cares for those?" was
the cynical answer.
Yet an hour later, at her desk, the
dead-broke girl was busily writing
Christmas letters, filling them with
borrowed sweetness and hunaming a
happy tune as the words flowed from
her pen.
But the Christmas woman didn't
know this.
She had gone back to her room for
the third time-to find her work table
empty. In vain she searched for the
shirt-waist cloth.
Bridget" she called at last, "have
you taken anything out of my room?'
Bridget was washing the windows.
"Only the clean rags for polishin' the
glass, num-" she answered. you said
they'd be on your table"
"Oh!" she began. But at sight of
Bridget's sorry face she caught her
self. Never mind, Bridget" she add
ed. Don't feel bad about it."
Feel bad! Me?" echoed the aston
ished girl. The look in her eyes was
full of admiration. "Sure, now, this is
the first place / ever worked where
the lady didn't get cross before Christ

WAFER USERS ASSN.
 IMPORTANT EVENTS
The Approaching Election and the Candidates Regularly Nominated in
 Each District

| Two important matters for members of the Salt River Valley Water Users | association will mature in a few days 1 now. One is the annual election which will occur Tuesday in each district. be- tween the hours of a. m. and , D. m ] Phoenix time. and the other is the ex- piration of the time limit without pen alty for the payment of the annual assessment. which will be about ten days hence.
 This is the annual assessment for the maintainance of the association, and is payable semi-annually if the member desires. Many have paid it in full and have no further worry. Many more have paid the first half of it and are only awaiting the limit of grace to pay the rest of it. This mem tion is made that the members may not forget. The payment thls year has been better than ever before not withstanding there are more members. Still. it is to be expected that some will be negligent and pass the legal limit when delinquent penalty must be attached and after the legal time the property be offered for sale as in the case of a county tax. The sale has fortunately never amounted to much as almost everybody pays up and all who can will surely find it to their interest to do so. Even if they desire to quit farming or leave the country it pays to keep the title and reservoir rights clear.
 Yesterday was the last day for the filing of nominations for office in the respective districts, that the names of candidates many be placed. on the official ballots. There is but one can didate for president, B. A. Fowler, and and candidate for vice president. Geo D. Christy. the names of both gentle men having been regularly nominated in each of the ten districts. Below are given the names of the candidates in each of the districts, for the offices of governor and councilman. only one candidate has been named for each office in each district, except in the eighth, where no name at all has been presented for the council, and the voter will have to express his choice by filling in the blank:
 First district-Ralph Murphy gov ernor; j. w. Foss councilman
 Second district-John P Orme gov ernor; w. H. Wilky councilman.
 Third district-H J. McCIung gov ernor; w. H. Mann, councilman.
 Fourth district-Elliot Evans. gov ernor; Wm. H. Kay councilman
 Fifth district-F. H. Parker govern or; C. T. Hirst councilman.
 Sixth district-George Hahn govern or; George A. Alkire. councilman
 Seventh district-C A Savior gov ernor: ..... councilman.
 Ninth district-W w DobSon gov ernor; John l.. Anderson councilman.

Wonder House of Electricity.


 Along the boulevards and in the cafes
 of Paris, French gossips. with their
 keep scent for whatever is new and
 bizarre are just now talking of the
 wonder house which M. Knap has built
 for the use of himself and family and
 for the goggle-eyed astonishment of
 his friends So writes Henry H. Hyde
 in the Technical World Magazine for
 April. One must take the train for
 Troyes to visit the Villa Feria Electra, where the necromancer-who also hap
 pens to be famous electrical engineer
 lives in handsome. as well as entirely unusual style.
 The villa stands in a beautiful park. planted with trees and shrubbery and surrounded by a wall. Approaching the arched entrance gate you press an electric button. and at the very start step at once into a country full of wonders which are calculated to take the breath of even the most hardened of Parisan boulevardiers. Almost at the instant you ring. there comes to you. from apparently nowhere in par ticular. the sound of voice inquiring your name and the purpose of your visit. Instinctively you answer speaking to the iron gate in your usual tone-that you have called with a note of introduction to NJ. Knap. The voice answers that the master of the villa is at home and will be glad to receive you. Forthwith. apparently of it's own volition, the great gate swings open for you. and you proceed along the curved walk, which leads to the house In the most mysterious way the voice which greeted your ring of the bell seems to follow you as you walk through the park. It is the average normal voice of a gracious host bidding l you welcome. and possibly calling your attention to various rare and beauti- ! full Towering shrubs. which you may happen to be passing at the time. IL is difficult to realize, without actually | experiencing it. the weird effect of ! holding a somewhat prolonged conver- | satiOn with an absolutely invisible per ! son. who seems to keep perfect pace | with you. no matter whether you may | be walking slowly ar at 9 rapid gait
 With this introduction the author ! describes at length the wonders of this | villa, where everything is done for host | and visitor alike. by electricity. The ! article is very interesting and is hand | somely illustrated with photographs

 A PLEASED VISlTOR.-Rev Ed ward D. Mcqueen Gray of Carlsbad N. NJ. spent Wednesday in Phoenix, com ing here partly to confer with B. A. Fowler and partly for the pleasure of looking over this valley of which he has heard so much, on the way to southern and western Arizona where he has business engagements also. Rev. Gray is the committee on for eign representation in the Sixteenth National Irrigation congress. of which E. A Fowler is secretary and their conference was over matters in con- nection with the next big congress to be held in Albuquerque MT. Fowler took Rev. Gray for a ride through the valley in the afternoon and the i'm pressiOn made on Rev. Gray was one of surprise and amazement. He was not prepared to see such fertility and such an extent of fine agricultural land. even though he had heard much of this section. He was also taken to the Capitol and met the governor and most of the territorial officers. The Capital grounds were delight to him as well as his brief talk with Super intendent C. H. smith who is not only a countrvman. but a fellow spirit in matters of horticulture and floricul- ture, to both of which Rev. Gray has devoted much attention. Rev. Gray is an Episcopal minister and cultured and well informed gentleman. He was educated in Heidelberg and has the acquaintance of many notable men. both in the American and foreign dip lomatic service, which fact doubtless had much to do with his selection for the committee work assigned him by the congress. He met Dr. Atwood dur his brief stay and expects to meet Bishop Kendrick and others with whom he holds close church relations, on his return here next Thursday, en route home.
