Ht ST0LE HOT COOK
 STOVE AND SOLD IT
Housekeeper Who Called Him Bad Names.

Because the housekeeper in the home where he was living applied un- printable epithets to him when he came around, Charlie Davis called on
 Marshal Moore Thursday and had her arrested. Then while she was in jail
 he went over and stole her hot cook
 stove, which was full of baking bis
 cults, and her refrigerator which was full of ice, and sold them tc the
 auctioneer He made $15.15 on the deal after the express charges were paid.
 Had it ended there it might have
 been wei! for Charlie, but it didn't, for when the housekeeper put up her $1O | bail money and was released, she found that the kitchen had been ma rauded. She at once applied to the police station and Marshal Moore sent an officer out to look up Davis and
 have him brought into court. He was located and when confronted with the fact that his deed had been found out,
 he confessed and agreed to make the property good, return the money and take a floater out of the city.
 Charlie appeared twice at the po- lice station Thursday and on his second complaint that there was no peace to be had at home, Officer | Tourtman was sent to the vicinity of the house to overhear the disturbance when Charlie came marching home What he heard was plenty. and the arrest of the housekeeper for disturb 1 ing the peace was made.
 The cook sto"e was not yet cold from the fire used in preparing the evening meal, but that was no ob- stacle. for heavy rags were at hand to
 use in lifting the stove to the express
 wagon. The refrigerator was less of Herculean task, though heavy enough. When Davis appeared at the auction house the proprietors had no
 idea that it was stolen property. Charlie said he wanted to sell them and buy
 better ones. The trade was made. When the officer appeared to investi- gate the case the auctioneer was much put out. He said he had unwittingly several times bought stolen goods, but that that was the first time that he
 had ever been sold a hot cook stove full of hot biscuits. They opened the door and there were the biscuits. That was the limit.

OPENING OF ARIZONA
 SCHOOL OF MUSIC
It Will Occur on Sept. 21-Mention
 of the Fifth Year Faculty.


 The fifth year of the Arizona September 21. Mrs Shirley Christy,
 the director has employed a corps of instructors in the various depart tments of study who are uneXcelled
 in the southwest. All the teachers
 in this institution are highly educat-
 ed and experienced in their profess
 sions and yet the rates of tuition charged are extremely reasonable.
 There are very few cities in the
 United States of the size of Phoenix
 where one can secure such a thorough
 musical education, and at low rates
 of tuition, as he can at the Arizona School of Music. The faculty for
 the coming year includes the well known artists J. Homer Grunn,
 Thomas Francis Hughes and Frank Lloyd Stuchal, the directors of piano, voice and violin, who have been con- ducting a successful summer term in Prescott but who will soon return to take up their work here.
 Miss Gertrude Trump, the gifted pianist, will return from her home in Missouri, and Mrs Myrtle Stuchal from her summer at Iron Springs. Miss Grace Abbie Andrews, who has
 been granted leave of absence for study in Europe, is at preesnt tour
 ing Switzerland but will commence her studies the middle of the month
 in Leipsic, Germany. A valuable ad- .dition to the piano force is Mrs. .Maude Pratt Cate, who recently jeanne to Phoenix from Michigan. Mrs. Cate has had much training under
 Madame Bloomfield -Zeisler, and was Ia pupil of the late Dr. William Ma Ison, one Americas greatest men in
 music. Mrs. Inez Francisco Hughes.
 an experienced vocalist and public reader who already has many friends
 here, will succeed Mrs. May French Cooley in the department of Elocu- Ltion and dramatic art. Mrs. Cooley, iwhose superior talents have long been
 appreciated here, resigned from the school with regret to accept a posi- tion in a San Diego seminary where she can place her young daughter in school.

MEN OF EARLIER AGES.
Were They the Mental Peers Of the
Men Of Today?

Men of Today?
The general idea that our enormous
advances in science and command over
nature serve as demonstrations Of our
mental superiority to the men of ear
lier ages is totally unfounded. The
evidence of history and of the earliest
monuments alike goes to indicate that
our intellectual and moral nature has
not advanced in any perceptible degree.
In the second place, we find that the
supposed great mental inferiority OF
savages is equally unfounded. The
more they are sympathetically studied
the more they are found to resemble
ourselv es in their inherent intellectual
powers.
Even the so long despised Australian
savages, almost the lowest in material
progress, yet show by their complex
language, their social regulations and
often by an innate nobility of char
acter indications of very similar in
ner nature to our own. IF they pos
sess fewer philosophers and moralists,
they are also free from so large a
proportion of unbalanced minds-idiots
and lunaticS-as we possess. On the
other hand, we find in the higher Pa
cific types men who. though savages
as regards material progress, are yet
generally admitted to be physically, in
tellectually and morally our equals, If
not our superiors. Thirdly, we
have no proof whatever that even the
men of the stone age were mentally or
morally inferior 70 ourselves - fired

Instinct is the generic term for all
those faculties of mind which lead to
the performance of actions that are
adaptive in character, but pursued
without necessary knowledge of the re-
lation between the means employed
and the ends attained. Reason refers
to those actions that are adaptive in
character and that are pursued with
knowledge of the relation between the
means employed and the ends aimed
at. Such is the technical statement OF
the difference between instinct and rea-
son, but the real. basic difference be
tween the two faculties is unknown
and probably unknowable-New York

A Curious Grace.

The most curious form, or, rather,
expression. of grace after meat which
l have ever come across was that Gus
tomary at Cliffords inn. one of the
vanished inns of chancery. The soci-
ETY. consisted of two distinct bodies,
the principal and rules and the Kent
ish mess, each body having its own ia
BILE. At the conclusion of the dinner
the chairman of the kentish mess, first
bowling to the principal of the inn,
took from the hands OF the servitor
some small rolls or loaves of bread
and. without saying a word, dashed
them several times on the table. after
which they were taken away. Solemn
silence relieved only by the thumps
prevailed during this curious substi,
tute for a verbal grace.-Cor. London

Blakeley. chief of the Indiana depart

with letters from people who protest
against fire hazards in school build

urgent necessity for looking after the
construction of the school buildings,
Mir. Blakeley has decided to send in
spectors as promptly as possible 10 all
cities. 1t is probable the school build
ings in the larger cities of the state
will be inspected first.

NOT MERELY IDLING.
, Wherein the Writer RssembIed the
Man on the Buoy.

Man on the Buoy.
That writer" said a publisher. re-
ferring to an author who seemed TO be
idling away his time, rs in reality try
ing hard to work. to get his ideas flow
ing, but he is stuck.
He said to me himself that he re-
sembled a man who made bet one
summer day at the shore that he
would swim out mile and half to a
certain buoy. The bet was accepted, and
the man stripped and plunged in. His
friend retired to the hotel to watch his
progress from the window.
From the window with a tieldglass
the friend saw the swimmer reach the
buoy in due course. draw himself up
out Of the water and sit down COM
forta bly,, with his legs dangling over.
So far so good. Evidently he was rest
ing, well pleased with his feat.
Some minutes passed. and the swim
mer had not moved. The watcher re-
turned to his book. But every now
and then he looked up, and still the
swimmer sat in the same position on
the buoy.
An nOuT, Two hours went ny. SuIi
the swimmer remained. A white, slim
figure seen against the oncoming dark,
he sat on the buoy's edge. His feet
dangled in the sea. He seemed to be
musing.
FINALLY it began to grow quite dark,
and, thoroughly alarmed at last, the
watcher got a boat and a couple Of
bargees and rowed out to his friend.
"Out there the mystery was soon ex-
planned. The man was stuck fast to
the buoy, which had been freshly
tarred that morning." - Washington
