ARIZONA YOUTH
 MAKES GOOD AT YALE
WILLIAM coEsEL PLAYED ON PHOENIX SCHOOL TEAM-NoW VALE GUARD.

The old saying in this territory that whenever an Arizona boy is given a chance h ewill make good" has been proven by William A. Goebel. resi- dent of Arizona. now a student at Yale college.
 Three years ago young Goebel was a student enrolled at the Phoenix high school. At that time the young man had football aspirations. and by dint of hard work and lots of practice managed to make the position of full back on the school team.
 A year later, he left the Phoenix high school and entered Yale as a freshman. He was one of the mem bers of the football squad the first day they went out to practice, and wonder of wonders. the freshie made the varsity team. Goebel played last season as a guard on the first team. and this year again made the team in the same position.
 At the recent Yale-Hsrvard game, Wnlch fale won Dysa score or 70 V, Goebel distinguished himself by mak- ing the first score that Yale secured, a touchback. counting two points for the Sons of Eli.
 Goebel was prominently mentioned last year as member of the All American team. and this year un- doubtediy will gain the honor of be- ing a member of the team picked by the eastern experts as the best in America.
 Goebel is a son of Justin Goebel, a wealthy raneher who resides near Phoenix. and a nephew of the late William Goebel. the assassinated gov ernor of Kentucky

DISPLAY WINDOWS GIvE SIGNS Of SEASON
TOYS OF ALL KINDS SHOW THAT TIME OF PRESENT MAKING IS AT HAND.

With the turning of the calendar leaves to the last month of the year, every store is taking on a holiday decorative appearance in preparation for the usual Christmas rush.
 Each store making a speciality of toys has window displays installed. toy cars, dolls. etc. flanked by the usual tinsei ornaments, cotton. Santa Claus Or two and in some cases Christmas tree: although they are ex- tremely hard to get in these parts.
 Arizona people are shat off from the modes of enjoyment of brethren in the northern states particularly in the Great Lakes section. In wiscon, sin and Michigan, especially. every one at Christmas time literally wal lows in greens from the pine. the ce- dar and various other hardy timbers ! that keep their greenery all the year around and whose beauty is ennanced. if anything by the advent of winter and it's accompanying snows.
 Churches are literally strewn with pine boughs. while cedar-twined chan eels and pulpits are so effervescent with holiday garnishings as to al most obscure from view the pastor and members of the choir.
 In lands like these, however, the lack of the Christmas tree has to be made up in floral and other decora- tions. but does not lessen the enjoy ment of the day in the least.
 Some few trees are shipped in from the northwest but by the time they arrive are minus most of their foliage as the result of the buffetings and baugings they are subjected to en- route.
 Last Christmas a stock company playing through the territory re solved upon Christmas celebration and nothing must do but that sney have a Christmas tree. They tried for a week. but couldn't find one for love or money. They even wrote to remote parts of the territory for a 1 stray pine, but none was forthcoming Finally. on Christmas eve. the man. ager of the company went to a toy store and there saw a toy Christmas tree a foot high, with twigs made to represent pine glued onto the l'tree1 proper, a little stick painted 1.-the regulation color. That had to suffice and around it were heaped tho presents exchanged between members of the company-enough to fill aboCi half the room where the celebration was held.
 There still remains enough cottoI batting in Bisbee's numerous stores however. to cover the town white if i
 is so desired. Meanwhile store man lagements are getting their toy con
 signments properly lined up for dis
 display. hiring extra clerks and gettin
 ready in general for the rush that
 always sure to come.
 i, The windows are already beginnini to attract the usual crowd of youns sters, craning their necks for DO:

New York. Feb. 2S.-New York will soon, be a city absolutely without homes. Even at the present time it may be called the greatest homeless city in the world and estimates based on the latest census figures show that by 1912 more than 6,000, 900 persons. or practically the entire population of the city will be without holmes of their own and that the private house will be entirely extinct on Manhattan Is- land. The disappearance of the ln- stitution known as the Great Ameri- can Home is proceeding rapidly In all the large cities of the country but conditions are such that it is advanc- fng with far greater speed in the me- tropolis than anywhere else. cen tury ago nearly if not quite a major ity of families owned the hoAses in which they lived. Today in all the large cities of the country, not ten percent do so. and in New York the proportion Is only about two per- cent.
