IA DELIGHTFUL EVENING
 AT Tilt INDIAN SCHOOL
Mrs. krebs and Mrs. sipes Surpassed the Expectations of Their Friends.

The entertainment at the Indian school on Friday night was a most delightful affair. The attendance was not all that could have been desired but what was lacking in numbers was more than made up in genuine enthu- siasm excited at the talent displayed by Mrs. Krebs and Mrs. Sipes' who had charge Of the program and in fact, practically constituted it. Both these ladies are readers of a high order and would command favorable attention anywhere. Each has a charming per sonality and in the work of both of them there was the hint of histrionic power.
 Especial praise was bestowed by the audience on Mrs Sipes' rendition of June" and Little Boy Blue" while "A Matrimonial Experiment" "Ursus and the Aurochs" and An Old Sweet heart of Mine" One number which in particular excited the audience to ap- plause was a monologue by Mrs. Sipes, Behind the Curtain.' in which there was displayed a fine quality of acting. It is quite likely, now that the ice is broken, these ladies will appear shortly before other Phoenix audiences as well as those of towns in other parts of the territory.
 The program was further enlivened by three violin solos by MT Karl Hein- rich and two cornet solos by MT Charles A. Pierce.

 GA wondrous job)
 With Fighting Bob And lived to tell the tale. Ours was 2 gallant companee. No whit cared We for storms at sea And had we faced a dozen wars
 Instead of dread
 Our last lone red We would have gambled on our tars. But dangers for which none has looked Were all along our journey booked At every port We touched they would Force us to dine.
 Give us rare wine And stuff us popping full of food. The brave boys tried, but It was past All human limits, and at last The boldest eater would turn pale When food he saw
 But let us draw The curtain, as mere words must fail. I've fought and know what fighting is; In Artic seas I've starved and friZ; And let me say such dangers pale To what played hob
 With Fighting Bob And left so few to tell the tale.

THE PERFECT WOMAN
 IS NOT A FAT ONE

Artists say the ideal proportion of weight in a woman Is 26 pounds for every foot of her height. This would make q woman of 5 feet inches weigh 136 pounds s ounces.
 If you weigh more than this in pro- portion you are on the danger line and are likely to get too fat in few years. Check 1t by taking teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime of this recipe: F ounce Marmola, F ounce Fluid Ex- tract Caseara Aromatic and 32 ounces Syrup Simplex. Get the Marmola sealed and mix 1t with the other ingre- dients at home. This mixture is harm less. will not cause wrinkles. and has been known to take off seven pounds of fat a week without any help from exercise or dieting. It Is inexpensive.

DELICATE PHASES
 0E OFFICIAL DUTY
How the Demands of the Law Some times Place Its Agents in PerpIex- ing Conditions,

One of the chief characteristics of the policy of the present territorial administration, is gallantry toward women who may have official dealings with the governor or any of his lieu tenants. There are times when deli cate questions arise that must be handled vigorously yet with more than ordinary diplomacy if no offense is to be given, and Sims Ely, private secre- tary to the governor brides himself on being able to jump these hurdles on the official race track with more than ordinary grace and dignity. But some times he feels that his efforts te be real pretty are hardly worth while and are like roses that are born to blush un- seen, so matter of fact and blunt are the responses to his delicate presenta- tion.
 The ether day an application was received at the governors office from a lady, (and she does not live in Phoe- nix by the wayl for appointment as notary public. She failed to state her age and the law requires that every notary must be 21 years old or more. Nr. Ely knew 1t would be the height of discourtesy to write and ask how old she was, so in making the inquiry he very adroitly inquired if she was lover 2l" By return mail the answer came back in cold type that she was 90 and in a tone that rather indicated that she was proud of 1t. Securing the appointment was to her a matter of more consequence than secrecy con- corning her age and fearing that her own statement might be doubted she sent along some expert testimony.
 Her letter was first endorsed by a well known jurist who said. ''her ap- pearance would indicate that she was approximately that age.' But the ap- plicant was going to make assurance doubly sure so she secured the en- dorsement of another gentleman in whose office she was employed. This man wrote very briefly. He said "She looks to me like 40." It is scarcely necessary to say the appointment was made. and for obvious reasons it may be announced that the name of this recent addition to the army of notaries public in Arizona, will not be publish ed. It will remain one of those mys- terious state secrets concerning which the world is so curious.

THE MARRIAGE KEPT
 A.SECRET THREE YEARS
The Young Couple United in Phoenix Where they VIII Reside.

Phoenix has just come into possess sion of quite an interesting romance. Monday evening Edward A. Scheets, one of Phoenix young business men. announced that he was going to Ash fork to meet his wife MT. Scheets came to Phoenix a little over three years ago and only a few of his inti- mate friends knew of his being mar ried.
 The cause of the secrecy dates back to the time Of his wedding to Miss Bishop, June 3, 1903, in Chicago, Ills. Miss Bishop was an orphan and had for years made her home with a wealthy aunt. who had no family of
 her own and was very much opposed to the marriage as she had always looked forward to her neice remaining
 with her during life.
 At last after much Dersuading, Mir. Scheets succeeded In gaining the aunt's consent to the marriage. providing 1t was kept a profound secret on both sides, and Miss Bishop was to remain with her aunt as before.
 It was trying position to place the young people in. but was finally agreed 10 as the aunt was aged and seemed broken hearted over the thought of separation. Her proper ty interests and home had been in Chi cago too many years for her to ac-. quiesce in changing localities at her time of life.
 Mir. Scheets was engaged in business,
 with headquarters at Pittsburg at the
 time of the marriage, and about a year later came to Phoeniv and has re-
 mained here since. Mrs. Scheets' aunt and godmother passed away short time ago and as soon as she could straighten up business affairs, decided to announce her marriage to her rel atives and friends and join her hus-
 band here.
 Their surprise may be well imagined
 as she had been living among them all
 these years as Miss Bishop and she certainly proved that a woman can
 keep a secret. The week before leay- ! ing Chicago there were several dinners
 given by friends and relatives in hon.
 or Of the wedding. and Mrs. Scheets
 brings large number of valuable and
 beautiful presents and the best wishes of all to her new southwestern home. MT. Scheets has been setting them lup" to friends since his return from
 Ashfork and one can judge from his
 happy expression that he thinks 1t
 worth while. His many friends here
 extend congratulations and will be pleased to learn the couple will locate
 here permanently.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal Is the safest and ernost efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature. but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not a drug at all, but simply ahsorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking. or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminertly safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest pow dered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these loZenges will soon tell in much improved condi- tfon of the general health, better com- plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom- ach and bowels. and to clear the com plexlon and purify the breath, mouth and throat; l also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them: they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe get more and better char coal in Stuarts Charcoal Lozcnges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. John
N. Hutcherson stood before a
crowd of penitents in the Union
mission last night, exhorting those
who had sinned to come forward
and lay their burden of sin at his
feet and confess their hayward
ness, and they would be forgiven.
He was impassioned in his plea,
and more than one listener on the
benches stirred uneasily. A sob or
two shook the stilled audience.
A slender, girlish woman burst
through the door and started down
the aisle toward the gray=haired
man who stood with uplitfde arms
inviting all who had sinned to
bring their burden forward. His
eyes were closed. and he did not
see the young woman, nor did he
hear.

coaxed the repentant to come for
