the conditions and scanty development and seemingly insurmountable diff culties which the first inhabitants en- countered in homemaking and com- uIunity building. From ten o'clock till noon the time was devoted to this pleasant diversion.
 The dinner was spread under the open air pavilion upon tables provid- ed for that purpose, and 1t was pro- nounced by those who partook of the feast as most sumptuous and hunger satisfying. From the many large bas- kets the amazing variety of good things which Salt River valley can prepare were forthcoming in quanti ties that left nothing to be desired except larger storage capacity.
 The crowd then assembled under the pavilion to listen to the addresses The program was introduced by sing ing the favorite song for this char acter of meeting, Auld Lang Syne. and old Folks at Home byJa volunteer choir and the audience. Rev. Crutch- field. presiding elder of the South Methodist church in Arizona was the first speaker. He indulged in remin- iscences of the progress of church work in both Texas and this territory. The early missionaries and pastors had hard struggle in building up the churches, not so much because of the happy-go- lucky nature of the people and the alien influences, but they were unprovided with suitable buildings for such meetings In shacks and in the open air and in one place, in hotel or any shelter that could house a small crowd, were the only available places of worship in those days. Contrasted with the cOnr ditiODs in those times he dwelt briefly on the progress seen all over the ter ritory. In behalf of the church he welcomed the old settlers to the camp meeting grounds and whatever advan- tages it possessed for their purpose
 Capt Crenshaw made a fine ad- dress. He said he hardly felt like an old settler. for the reason that when hc came here some 21 years ago, many of the first settlers were still living, whose knowledge and acquaint- ance with pioneer days antedated his own experience Among them he re- called Capt Hancock, c. H. Gray, Judge Tweed and others.
 He described the country .as it was then, and the changes that had occurred in his residence here of nearly a quarter of a century But its past progress was not to be compared with the future which he sincerely be- lieved was yet to become reality. The dream of empire which the early set tiers had had, was to materialize and flower as even they had never fore seen.
 Col. McClintock. who came here in 1879, was the next speaker. He said the early settlers were men who went out into the arid desert with eyes of faith and won a great battle Tn con quering the forces of nature. and to them is due more credit than they who subdue nations by force of arms. Referring to 'early scenes, he recall ed his first sight of an Arizona bedt

THf FRS! PICNIC OF
 OLD SETTLERS SOCIETY
Was Voted a Most Enjoyable Day. Speeches, Stories and Big Dinner.

The first old Settlers picnic In Ari- Zona was held yesterday at the camp meeting grounds at the end of the Brill car line and was attended by fully 400 people. Of this number about 200 registered as old Settlers, the re- quirement being that of a residence in the territory since 1888 or of twen- ty years. It is thought that quite a number did not remember. to register and that the total might have heen ma terially increased. orlando Allen was the earliest pioneer present. having come to Arizona in '63, to the county in 'SS J. E. Montgomery and Bill GilsOn who were here in '64. were the second longest in the territory. while there were a number Of others who came along about the same time and a little later.
 The book revealed the names of five natives. born previous to 'SS. A record was kept also of the states from which the residents came, and it was shown that California either fur nished the most old timers or a larg- CT representation of Ca4ifornians were there. the total being 19, as against F rom aMlSSOuTl, WnlCn StOOd next. rex as. Illinois, New York and Pennsyl vania ranked about the same. The southerners were not as numerous as might have been supposed. There were II foreign n-born citizens and four Canadians all of whom fulfilled the 2O-year limit.
 Though old settlers picnics and re- unions have been frequent events in older and eastern states, yesterdays was the first of the kind in the terri tory. Hassayampa day at the territorial fair might be considered somewhat along the same line. though not devoted to a good old fashioned spread out-of- doors with the custom ary speechmaking and telling of tales of the early days. Perhaps the most enjoyable portion of the days pro- gram was that before the dinner hour, when the pioneers gathered and un- wound the yards of yarns, recounted the frontiersmen who had passed and the history of their deeds. the Indian outrages, the bad mans eScapades.

ASLEEP UNDER WATER.
One Of the Funny incidents Possible in
a Divers Life.

From THE Divers OF a Navy and Their
Adventures" In August st, Nicholas.
AS showing how much at home a man
may be today under water, / may re-
late an amusing story. Some months ago,
while the great battleship D~readnought
was at Malta, one OF the seamen drivers
went down to clear her propeller from
some fotsam that had become ~entangIed
and he failed to come up. 1t CHANGED that
the rest Of the battleship's divers were
ashore, and grave concern was felt on the
ironclad for the missing worker. Signals
by telephone and lifeline were sent be-
low, without avail. In the launch above
the throb, throb OF the eir pumps cylin-
ders went on: but the endan ts looked
at one another In dismay. fearing some
strange tragedy deep down In those heay-
ing green seas.
The worst was feared when some big
brushes and other tools came floating to
the surface: and %thereupon the navigating
lieutenant sent ashore an urgent message
for one OF the other divers. The man
came ON board. dressed Immediately, and
went below. only 10 come up full of in
.dignation.
why, that fellows been alseep all this
time!' he said. wrathfully. 1t was true.
The man had just had his lunch, and
fnding the work much less serious than
he had thought, he finished 1t in a few
minutes and then sat comfortably or
one OF the giant blades OF the Dread
nought's propeller and went to sleep, with
inquisitiye fishes swarming around him.
attracted by the dazzling s~earchiight on
his breast. The officers were so amused
at the occurrence that no punishment was
inflicted on the lazy one.

MAN ENGAGED TO
FOUR IN A WEEK
Each Was to Be Installed as the
Mistress of $4,000
Mansion.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Special: Within
one week four u women or TINS
city became engaged to a man from
parts unknown who had promised 10
install each of them as mistress or the
~unoccupied ~Seasongood mission on
Walnut street. which he said he had
bought.
The range who gave the name OF
Frank Bissinger, became acquainted
with the women through their answer
ing his advertisement for q housekeep-
er. He lost no time I'm engaing their
services, and showed them In relays
the interior OF the mansion. Bisslnger,
in order TO win their confidence. per-
mitted them to suggest the ann In
which the house was to be furnished.
In this way he leaped into their good
graces at the psychological he
proposed to them. He told each or the
four that he did not want TO install
them as his housekeeper and then
marry them as his employee. They saw
the position in the same light and then
made arrangements for their trosseaux.
Bissinger told the women that he had
purchased the mansion for $40, 600. The
same story was told at John Ali
brandt's saloon, where he had a room.
While he was engaged in winning the
women Bissinger was busy with ex-
cuses to Chas. L. Nourse or real
estate firm OF Cleaney az Nourse,
agents for the Walnut Hills property.
Innumerable times he made arrange
ments with the croker to close the
deal by the cash payment Of $1,000, but
he failed to keep his engagement,
usually telephoning Mr.. Nourse and
stating that the money had not been
forwarded by his bank In a a
cisco.
Then a day was set for the consum-
nation of the transaction, and the real
estate firm privately made UP its mind
that 1t would have nothing further to
do with Bissinger IL he failed to make
good on tina date. The expected hap
pened, and all negotiations were de-
clared off.
Last week numerous telephone calls
were answered by Mr.. Nourse, the
speakers at the other end of the line
being women who wanted to kno IL
Mr.. Bissinger had purchased the prop
erty. He answered I'm the negative.

BORAx IN The DAIRY.
A Matter Of Profitable Interest to
the Farmer and Dairyman.

The problem OF keeping sweet all the
utensils used In connection with milk
and e selling, and butter making,
has been a serious one with the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest faint or hint of staleness left
In a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole
output; that the faint which Is left il
In the form OF bacteria which grow and
multiply In milk or butter, producing
disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy resi-
due in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, II any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and It Is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for q
dairy cleanser and sweetener that VIII
meet modern requirements.
A few Of the largest creamery estab-
lishments have called experts into con-
sultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon q pro-
duct OF nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax as
a cleanser. a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer OF bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that Is harmful
and promotes and preserves freshness,
sweetness and purity, relieving the

Its ~cheapness and value should give
1t first place in the necessities or every

healthy and smooth condition by wash
ing Ii with borax and water, a table
spoonful OF borax to two quarts ee
water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make

worry to the mixer.
The modern cleanser OF all dairy
utensils consists of--one tablespoonful
OF borax to every quart Of water need

BASS AND A GREAT MUSkIE
LANDED ON THE SAME LINE

Kalamazoo, Misunderstanding to
Theodore Fenker, Norman English. q
Chicago man, is the hero of a remark
able fish story involving the capture of
a 33-pound muskellunge at Gun lake.
''English.% says Fenker. made a
catch which has them all beaten for tho
novel in which the fish was
landed. He was trolling for bass. Get
ting a strike. Mr.. English began haul
ing in his line and had the fish about
10 feet from the boat when q mammoth
muskeliunge grabbed the small bass
which had taken the spinner. and then
Iensued 81 hard struggle. Finally the
big ,nuskie WAS brought TO gaff and on
being brought ashore and weighed
turned the scales at SO pounds.
Just above the spinner which Mr..
English was using he had placed a lead
sinker TO give weight to the lure. The
muskie in seizing the bass, which had
been caught on the tait. got his teeth
tangled in the line and the lead tinker
prevented It's pulling away, so muskie,
bass, sinker. and spinner were all safely
landed"

kiplins's Tale to Students.

Rudyard Kipling concluded his re-
cent address to the students of McGill
university with an attack on smart
ness" He said:
Whenever and wherever you find
one OF your dear little playmates show
ing signs of smartness in his work,
his talk or his play. take him ten
derby by the hand, by both hands, by
the back of the neck, If necessary, and
lovingly, playfully, but firmly lead him
to a knowledge of high n more in
teresting things"
Afterward Mr.. Kipling told a story
about q smart man.
This man. he said, owned a dry
goods store, and one day, to his great
disgust, he heard a new clerk say to
a lady:
mo. ma'am; we have not had any
for a long time
With a fierce glance at the clerk the
smart employer rushed up to the lady
and said;
I'VE have plenty in reserve, ma'am;
plenty upstairs
Lady and clerk looked dazed, and
afterward the smart proprietor learned
that the clerks remark had been made
in answer to the lady's: We haven't
had any rain lately"

est paint manufacturers set about 10
make paint buying safe. They first
adopted a trade mark, the nov famous
Dutch Boy Painter and put this
trade mark. as a guaranty of purity, on
every package OF their White Lead.
They then set about familiarizing the
public with the blow-pipe test by which
the purity and genuineness of White
Lead may be determined, and furnished
a blow-pipe free to every who
would write them for 1t. This action
was in itself q guaranty of the purity

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and q woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians ON our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to tee women
of the world q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years l had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what / suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia 4. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
