Resolution made Lily's face
white for an instant, made icy

smiling as she said:
No, I'm going down to the

Millicent stood by Lily, who put

slim figure in the white-muslin
gown swayed iusta little as she
stood there.
I hope you'll excuse me, she
said to Theresa. Thank you for
asking me. The words were ad-
dressed to Theresa, but were
| meant for all of them, also
the proud uptilt of her golden
head, the shining sweet defiance
of her gray eyes, the resolution
of her wistful lips, the proud,
protecting tenderness, as she
stood by MiIlicent. The crowd
melted away silently, each girl
in the class had put aside their
highest honor, and she had chosen
instead-Millicent Harlow!
It is etiquette that nominated
candidates shall stay quietly in
their rooms during an election
A little before eight Lily parted
from Millicent at the reading
room door.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

Even love for the noble cause oi universal suffrage cannot hold the women together in an unbroken pha- lanx when the question of clothes in- trudes. according to charges made by Miss Maude Malone. Miss Malone is 2 New York woman who acquired some notoriety a short time ago by organizing the first open-air suffrage meeting held in the city. She has notified the newspapers of her resig- nation from the ranks of the suffragist organization known as the Progressive Woman's Union, saying that the in fluences now in control have changed its original policy to "one of reaction and exclusion and ito attract a we'll dressed crowd. not the rabble" Miss Malone says that she started the street campaign in the "broadest spirit ot democracy" Imagine her surprise and disgust when she discovered that the matter of clothes was the paramount issue in the minds of some )f her col leagues. Who can blame her for retir- ing to private life?

 which typifies the return of the sun of springtime by a golden egg-eggs being 1 distributed at the early equinox by ! priests to strengthen the hopes of the people that the bleak. cold days of winter might soon cease and a brighter time ensue.
 The Persians believed that the earth was matched from an immense egg on
 Easter morning; the Aryans also be- lieved the sun to be a large golden egg which was constantly rolling nearer to the earth.
 With the Jews, says the April Delin- eator. the egg became a type of their rescue from the land of bondage, and in their feast of the Passover. eggs occu- pied a conspicuous place in the ser vices It was their connection with the
 latter that finally caused them to be
 used by Christians the world over in celebrating Easter-the egg of resur- rection into a new life. bringing mes sage of life from death. as it were.
 The Tyrolese Easter egg is similar to our valentines. for besides being most beautifully tinted they have. in unique lettering. notices representing appro- priate wishes for the recipient
 The priests of Italy bless all eggs brought to service on Easter morning. and each person carries his back home
 where they are placed on kind of altar arranged for the purpose, sur rounded by lighted candles and often flowers: then each member of the fam fly and any guests abiding with them. eat one of these holy eggs as safe guard against disease and danger.

PHOENIX. ARIZ., APRIL 3. 1908.
A CONFUSION OF IssU Es.

Any blow. even apparently aimed at the territorial administration. always lands on "Wags' in a tender spot and produces a characteristic vail. Now there were the republican caucus and primaries in the Fourth Ward which "Wags" had confused with the mat ter or sending delegates to the nation al republican convention at Chicago for the nomination of a candidate for president. when. as a matter of fact, it was intended only to send delegates to a ward convention for the nomination of a candidate for the equally honor able, though less important office of city councilman.
 "Wags" was perhaps deceived by the circumstance that the Colored Taft club and certain members and repre- Sentatives of the territorial adminis- tration had attached themselves to one faction which to "Wags" therefore became the faction of instructions and the administration. When this faction was overwhelmed in the eau GUS. 'Wags" could see in the result of the proceedings only sacrilegious stroke at the national administration policies. when in fact. nobody but ''wags" had ever thought of such a thing.
 The voters of the Fourth Ward met on Wednesday night to consider only the matter of endorsing the official career of Councilman Cisney and they did it against the opposition of the Colored Taft club and certain repre- sentatives of the territorial admins tration. That endorsement was con firmed and ratified yesterday and. un- less somebody succeeds in pointing out to 'Wags" that the action of the Fourth Ward republicans was not antagonistic to the policies of Presi- dent Roosevelt and his purposes with respect to Secretary Taft. we will have a repetition of "wags' mournful wall today
 We would think that the territorial administration would undertake the task of training "Wags" to know that every innocent and natural political move by those out of whose hands 'wags" has not been wont to feed. does not conceal designs against the bone which he guards so jealously. ''Wags" should be made to understand that everything in this world ,ioes not relate to instructions" and national politics. This confounding of things by 'Wags" must at times be embar- rassing to those to whom he has at tached himself so consistently that he is almost regarded as household pet. There must be times when "Wags' walls are disconcerting and calculated to betrsy the movements of his friends who may prefer silence.

CONSCIENCE HIS MASTER

The old saying that murder will out is not relied upon quite so implicitly in these times as it was once, not, we hope. because people have grown more callous. but rather because it is the usual thing nowadays to assume the attitude Of the man from Missouri to- ward old saws. Still the saying about murder was promptly recalled in New York the other day when a man sur rendered himself for a murder he said he had committed in Montreal, because his conscience would give him no rest
 In this case the taking of human life was followed by the horrors of remorse

that are invariably experienced by the villain on the stage who commits mur-
 der. though there have been other in- stances where murders were success fully concealed for all time, and so far as the world ever knew the guilty per- sons did not suffer any inconvenience. Their consciences may have been blunted. but temperament also had much to do with their ability to con- ceal their crimes and still sleep nights.

T0PSY FERRIS SETS STYLE
FOR DOGGIES' SWEATERS
Florence Stones Pet Displays Fastidi-
BUSINESS in Choice of Garment
but Now May Enjoy Late
Auto Rides

Topsy Ferris set the new style in
sweaters for dogs yesterday. The correct
thing is in bright scarlet WOOL with
roll collar of white and white cuffs to
the sleeves. 1t looks very swagger on
Topsy, she being a white woolly pup,
but perhaps If a dog is of other hue,
less prominent shade would be more de
regeuer.
The selection of a sweater for Topsy,
Florence stones particular pet, was
serious operation, and it took about all
the clerks in the Boston store some fiji
teen minutes yesterday afternoon to
make the choice. The dog is very partic-
ular about her wearing apparel, and hard
to please, but by the aid of half dozen
expert filters, together with the assist
ance of Miss Stone, finally a garment
was secured that suited her fastidious
taste.
Following her first appearance in the
garb, Topsy held a reception which tied
up trade till all the young woman clerks
had cuddled her. She was distant and
naughty but graciously permitted her
self to be caressed quite Unfortunately.
Topsy is devoted to auto rides. which
are not the finest thing late al night for
an unacclimated pup. Now, In the glory
of her new sweater, she can occupy the
front seat with no danger Of taking cold

AUDITOR REJECTS
BRENNER'.S CLAIM
EXEMPT BECAUSE REGENTS
HOLD MORTGAGE
Charged That Claimant Slept on
Rights in Failing to Get Re-
dress from EqdaIiza-
ton Board

City Auditor w. C. Mushet yesterday
turned down the demand of Gustave
Bremen for a refund of taxes amounting
to $685.. approved by the city attorney and
allowed by the city council.
Mr.. Bremen gave as his reason for
this refund the fact that a mortgage of
$4,000 on this property is held by the
regents of the University of California
Mr.. Mushet wrote to the council:
L cannot approve this demand as 1
do not consider it a legal claim upon
the city's treasury and beg to quote
you the case of Herne vs.. the county
of Los Angeles l29 Cal, 297, which
shows substantially that taxes paid
under protest by reason by non-deduc-
ton of mortgage to the regents of
the state university, from the total
value of the property, where the
owner neglected to make any demand
upon the assessor for a deduction
from the assessment, until after the
work of the assessor had been per-
formed and he had lost jurisdiction
to corr ect it. and also that he neg
lected to apply to the board of equal
ization for a reduction of the assess
ment until the board had lost juris-
diction of the matter, operates as
bar to any claim for refund.
Auditor Mushet further called the at
tention of the council to the fact that this
demand was approved without its pre-
vious reference to the committee on fin
ance. which is contrary to the provisions
of the charter.
