HOME SWEET HOME
Is Appreciated In Dear Old Tombstone
 Among the Flowers and Trees

"A feller ~ill travel 2n miles furder to git home, the dsrkest night you ever see, even ii home aint nutbin' out a sheep skin spread over a Inerquit tree after you git dere.'
 That is human nature, and if that golden yesrning fo. the lowest of the lowly habitstions is strong enough to draw out such a sacrifice, what bar. riers would man not s1Imount, what perils would he not face, what tortuies would he not endure and what fortitude would he not put in evidence, to "git back home" when that'home wass a typical Tombstone Home? .
 Half of our citizens do not realiae what a parsdisical heritage they have in Tombstone. Let them travel, let them sample the heat of the south land, let them feel the chill of the surf saturated air in California, let them go to the mighty cisiee of the East where S7 degrees kill the people of like flies, let them sample ague ol Illinois, the cyclones of Kansss, the drouth of exas, tine snows of Colo rsdo, even let them test the climate oi every ether locality in this matchless territory. Then, as they step of thu train, and the perfume of the flowerl bathe. their yearning olfsctoriesss anC tine glorious shade invites them home ard the emerald trees wave them a welcome in tLe soft zephyrs, and thu air is pure and cool, and the waters oI the Huschucss taste like sparkling burgundy, and aii is health. and per feet beauty with white clouds eailip: scruss an azure sky in mighty fleets which the imagination could easIl, transform into the great squadron sailing across the Pacific, and he lie down on the blue grass, and rolls it natures lar, and thanks Heaven tha he is once more back in DesYl Olt Tombstone!

 DOUGLAS, ARIz.. Oct. l, 1908.
 MAYOR WENTwoRrH-Te youlper. sonslly, and through you to the good people of Dear Old Tombstone, 1 de- sire to extend my heartfelt corgrstu. tions on the happy termination of the late county seat Kidnapping scheme.
 The incident, have discovered in my rsmbles throughout the county has borne good fruit. It has demon strated that designing combination cannot prostitute the rights and the interests Of the people to their own prlvate mercensry ends. It has dem onstrated that our chief judicial off, cers can neither be bribed nor bull- dozed. It has, demonstrated that the spirit of fair play is not dead in the land.
 It has established the fact that the old iraternal spirit not only blooms as freshly in the pioneer heart as ever. but that 1t has descended to the rising 1 generation, and that the fire of old frontier manhood and enthusissm cannot be extinguished in the haleful | breath of modern ehicanery: above all it has proven once for ell that Tomb stone has more lovers than the fair l Penelope, and that their old regard i will assert itself, wherever they nesy be, when the rights and interests ot the Garden City of Arizona are men aced.
 God reigns and the county seat iu Tombstone still lives.
 All thanks to oar host of friends on the outside, who were marshalling to defeat the iniquitous scheme he'd it come to vote.
 With best regards, 1

To demonstrate to the attorneys on .he opposing side in the county seat removal effort that Tombstone enter tains no acrimonious feeling or embit- tered hostility and also to show spirit of hearty and genuine sppre- citation to the members of the Tomb stone bar for their signal victory, snmptuons banquet was rendered ID honor of the eminent disciples oi Blackstone at the Lswry Ca'e last evening.
 J. \. Gaines acted as toastmaster and proved happy choice. Ills friendly sallies placed all at ease, and "the flow of wit md reason" in the responses to the toasts made the occs. sion most pleasant event. To the toss.maeter's inherent chiv- alrous inclination and model early training to always accord company ! first consideration was due the fact that hs called upon Mayor Neale of Blsbee first to tell iust what climatic 1 conditions are essential to a county seat. The Mayor responded in happy vein. He made some embarrassing confessions, yet likened the desire of Bistee to acquire the coveted prize to | 6 worthy ambition that found a coun- | terpart in TombstoDe's determination i to hold it fast. His expressions were i in a cordial spirit.
 1 M. Connell made some obserys- 1 tions on court house needs ~ith rel erence to enlarged facilities that were pertinent. He felt that perhaps the best had been done for the time being in retaining the court house here and l while assuring his hearers that there existed no i'll feeling on his part, left a yelled implication that another effort might be made for Bisbee in the future.
 Geo. B. Wilcox felt that pennant had been won in an athletic contest,

 mediate response in the hearts of his
 hearers. Allen P. English feelingly
 referred to the early day sentiments and deslred to spare the invited and
 honored guests vf embarrassing county seat removal allusions. 8 A. D. Up ton pictured Bisbee as proud daughter of Tombstone. wearing long .kirts and looking slightly with dis dain on her parents, but the fond and tolerant parent being ofcharitable dis position rather than in a mood for I chsstisement.
 MT. Bell, a visitor from Honduras, s. A., and guest of the occasion. congratulated the gathering on the spirit of iriendline.s shown in the wordy bout of the banquet board Judge Dsniel Mcfarland spoke briefly, as did Chairman Riggs of the board of supervisors. and Messrs.

Tombstone Feels Grateful.

There is little probability | that ever again will the right of Tombstone to remain the county seat ofold Coehise be questioned or an attempt made to remove the same. The ef | fort on the part ofa few Bis bee cormorants to accomplish this latter purpose ended in failure so dismally complete that it will not he repeated from that quarter again. Well may its instigators repent them of their sins in sack cloth and in ashes-their own town turned them down.
 And Tombstone, dear old Tombstone, the "city of clas- sic traditions, as an esteemed contemporary puts it, failed not of friends in her hour of need. They came from every camp and hamlet in the coun- ty, from every town and city strong, brave, loyal friends, They hesitated not to set their hands to the work, nor falter- ed in their zeal in Tombstone's cause. It may have been largely sentiment, but it was of that sentiment which makes mems hearts beat faster and inspires them to nobler pur- poses: that sentiment which engenGers loyalty to friends, to home and to country, and which is as great a civic virtue as it is a private one.
 In Tombstone it sprang up spontaneous a n d universal, there. was not one dlscordant note, the merchant, the' mec- hanic, the laborer, the pro- fessional man, each and all were animated by the one sentiment-loyalty to Tomb stone.
 The Tombstone Bar, on whom the brunt of the fight must fall, whether to defend the cause of the city in the courts or on the hustings, un- animously volunteered their services, scouting every thought of recompense, save the consciousness of duty we'll performed to the town they love so well. Diligently they set themselves to work on the task before them, and at the first onset the enemy was SC completely routed that he can never marshal his fO re s again.
 To all its friends, but es- pecially to the members of the Tombstone Bar, whorendered hersssuch signal and gallant service in her hour of trial, Tombstone feels deeply grate- ful.
 Gentlemen of the Bar, in the self imposed task which you undertook, you have serv- ed the city faithfully, loyalty and with distinct honor to yourselves, and the thanks of our citizens are due you. Tombstone is proud to VII in its citizenship such a brave, gallant assemblage of men

SLEEVES SAVE THE GOWN.
Change in Style Frequently Makes En-
treIy Original Model.

Much of the trouble in making a
gown look well lies in the sleeves.
Often one can change a dress, which
is old style or which one thinks not
becoming, into an entirely different
style of dress by remOdeling or putting
in entirely new sleeves. Luckily for
those who have to wear their evening
frocks two seasons, the sleeves can be
taken out and new ones put in, which
do not have to match the rest Of the
gown except for color. The sleeve can
be literally made of nothing; it is not
necessary in the least that it be like
the frock; it can be different, so long
as it is more or less the same color as
the trimmings of the gown.
A net, wolfe, silk, or cashmere dress
can be remodeled with sleeve made
entirely Of lace and chiffon. The
foundation is cut smaller than the
usual dress sleeve at the top and this
upper portion is covered with eight
rows of lace, about three-quarters or
an inch wide and the rows sewed
close on top of each other, the edging
of one just covering the top edge of
the row below it. The lower part of
the sleeve is a full circular piece which
is made of chiffon and is trimmed with
successive rows of the lace. The lace
in this case should be sewed on an
inch or an inch and half apart.

Il was clear enough that Angis's
fears were not shared by Martin.

her is pTeposterous. 1t would wreck

But what about Chip" returned
Martin, who had broader views of life.
You brought her here to Christianize

Writer'S Idea Which Is at Once Orig

Scheme for Pretty and APP
propriate Decorations.

A letter from Mrs. S. j. ID, asks my
advice in the matter of furnishing a
room, she says:
Please tell me how I can change a
room which is meant for dining-room
into cheerful waiting room, leading
into a physicians Office
The room at present is in dark red
tapestry paper, is paneled in brown
oak and has shelf about three feet
from the ceiling.
The Office has a deep yellow
cartridge paper and mahogany stained
woodwork.
There is another room papered in
light pink and cream color, which
shows from this old dining-room and
suppose this should blend with the
other two rooms"
l will give you a scheme for this
room which may startle you by it's
originality, but l assure you, you will
find it effective and thoroughly har-
monious.
l would advise you to use blue
dark rich blue-with your red walls.

son wool terry at SO cents a yard,
laid on it two of these Indian rugs,
and hung my windows daringly with
blue and white Japanese crepe. The

more and his own plans; but 1t was
not the Chip of old who listened, but
quite another person.

uncle and aunt" he said at last and
mean to coax them to take you along.
You have been shut up in school so
long it will do you good.

about it," she urged, in hurt tone, for
it will do no good. | wouldn't go, any
way"

of hers-and her please don't say

Another and even greater shock
came to Ray when late that evening,
on the porch, he essayed to kiss her.
NO, no; please don't she said with
almost a sob, pushing him away. ITS
silly now, and-and-you mustn't"
A week later school closed, and
Chips conduct was then also a puzzle
to Miss Phinney. AS usual on these
occasions, when the hour came, each
pupil, young and old, filed past the
teacher at her desk, the boys to shake
hands, the girls to be kissed, and all
