The Tempe pubic enjoyed highly novel experience Monday afternoon for half an hour. What gave promise of being a terrific rainstorm turned out to be hailstorm. The hail was % fine that it amounted to practically a snowstorm, and for few minutes the ground was white. For half an hour or longer the pubic forgot all business and pleasure pursuits and devoted it. self exclusively to snow wballing.

Phoenix practically belongs to the Shriners today, and will continue in the same hands tomorrow, says the Democrat. It would be extremely pain ful to the initiates, as well as quite un- necessary, to mention them by name and tell of the unmentionable things they are compelled to do right out in public. But fair idea may be gleamed from the fate of one unfortunate who is sell ing merchandise on Washington street dressed in the handsome garb of a Hebrew peddler, and of another the manager of a telephone company, who is parading with a sign on his back which reads: "Hello, Central, give me h." That is quite enough.

Want to Build Bridge

The Fl Paso Iron Works has replied to an inquiry by Clement II. Colman, secretary of the Yuma Commercial Club, that they can construct the Colorado river bridge on the eantilever plan with a span of 800 feet, exclusive of the masonry, for about 2s,000.

 FROM STAFFORD

1 SAFFORD, February 24.--Notwith- standing the very disagreeable weather and unfavorable condition of the race
 track, the grand stand at the Athletic park was filled with eager spectators at an early hour Tuesday afternoon. The wind blew a fierce gale from the snowy | heights of old Mt. Graham, but prompt 1 ly at the appointed time the racing be- gan and continued until the shadows be. gan to lengthen. The excitement was intense. The pacing race was especially interesting. Rex, owned by Mrs. Ella Madsen, won; time, 2:46; purse, $75. Idle Boy, owned by George Birdno, fol. lowed close second, winning the $25 purse. Tommy, belonging to Tip Hen derson, of Globe, came in third. Jun bo, the beautiful thoroughbred owned by Dr. J. G. Belt, won the $75 purse in tho trotting race; time, 2:55. Black Mare, belonging to George A. Olney, second money and Tip Henderson s black, third.
 Only two. were entered in the bronco busting, which was won by a c. c. G cowpuncher. The Stafford band played stirring music. Many visitors from Globe and the valley points were pres. ent. The festivities of the day closed with dance at Todd s hall in the even ing, which was largely attended. The sound of the fire bell on Tuesday night added touch of horror to the otherwise pleasurable day. It sounded at the hour of 10, as the merrymaking was at it's height in the dance hall and the participants made rush for the exit, giving the impression to those outside that the fire was coming from within, but it was soon located m tn, residence portion of the town in a building occupied by Professor Walter Rhoads and family. The fire boys, aid ed by outside help, fought fercely. The fire, however, had gained such headway that there was little hope of saving the building and for time it seemed that the entire block would be consumed. Most of the furniture was saved The home of c. F. Pearson on the west side was saved almost by superhuman eff fort, the boys being hampered by the scarcity of the water supply. The grain. cry on the east was completely destroy ed. The origin of the blaze was though. to have been defective fue. The family were asleep when the fire broke out and all escaped unhurt.

In Justice To Xanthippe.

To speak i'll of one who is dead and
cannot defend him or herself is gen.
orally conceded to be a disgraceful
deed. Yet from generation to genera
ton this has been done in the case of
Mrs. Socrates (nee Xanthippe), says
Katherine Smith, who undertakes a
defense of that much-abused lady in
the Smart Set.
Xanthippe's parents were poor but
proud when Socrates sought her hand
in marriage. She began life hampered
with many drawbacks. There was her
name, long, and beginning with that
rarely beard consonant, X. She was
the youngest of noble family, and
the rest of the alphabet had been ex-
hausted in providing for her % broth
ers and sisters.
What could be her endearing nick
name? Was it Xannie? Could it be
Thippe? Not at all. The modest,
shrinking child grew up to woman
hood as Xanthippe, lived as Xanthippe,
died as Xanthippe. Centuries after
her death the word is used to illus
trate the alphabet as one of the few
words beginning with the mellifluous,
but seldom encountered, letter X. She
has, at least, that individuality, poor
woman.
Socrates was an old man when he
married, and far from a. beauty.

ably have taken pride in the comeli-
ness of q husband, but Socrates welt

toise in Modern Version.

A Hare meeting Tortoise one day,
remarked as he looked at the Tor
toise's heavy shell and short feet: II
think could beat You in a race"
''All right" answered the Tortoise,
ut is not every race that is won by a
'hare.'"
At the hour appointed for the con-
test the Hare soon left the Tortoise
out of sight, and, feeling sure of win
ming, lay down by the roadside to take
a nap. After a half.hour's sleep and
rest he resumed the race. But the
Tortoise had turned into a wayside
garage and hired an automobile; and
so he soon overlook the fleet-footed
Hare.
The Hare was going At the limit OF
his speed, but the Tortoise was going
at the speed limit, and won the race
by three miles and seven laps.
When the Hare, in the course OF
time, arrived at the post, he said with
a sigh: you'll never catch me in an
endurance race again."

New York.-Adyanced ground in in.
dustrial educational work has been
taken in Fitchburg, Mass. Educators
In all parts of the country are watch
ing the development of the ambitious
undertaking with more than passing
interest, as upon the success or fall
ure Of the departure will depend
whether or not the plan is adopted
elsewhere. This fall the second-year
high-schoolboys received the privilege
OF learning metal trade by going
into the factories of the town to work
one week at regular factory hours and
to return to the schoolroom the fol-
lowing week, thus alternating between'
factory and schoolroom throughout;
the year. Twenty boys were elected
to take the new course, and the re-,
ports for the first three months Of
the experiment are altogether favor

shown any desire to abandon the COM
bination of schoolroom and factory,
work.
It is the first attempt of the kind in,
a public school. A course similar to
this one has been in operation at the
University of Cincinnati for older
boys, and the Fitchburg experiment is
patterned after the Cincinnati idea.
The course is one of four years, the
hrst year consisting exclusively of
schoolroom work and the three fol-
lowing years of theoretical and prac-
tlcal training equally apportioned!

wife was of tender heart is evinced by
her naming her first child Lamprocles.
1t will be seen that her object was
to find name capable of pretty and
endearing diminutive. Here was a
woman who, even if she felt inclined
to use an endearing name toward her
hat-nosed, thick-lipped husband, would
be obliged to call him Soc or Ratty.
Is 1t any wonder then that she loneed
for some euphonious nickname for her
tirst-born? Lammie it was, but ira
dition hath it that this petted and
spoiled son repaid Mrs. Xanthippe's
kindness by saying that though she
had been a good mother to him-"did
not kick him, did not bite him-yet
her tongue was worse than her teeth. -

are cooperating with the ScnOOl de-
Dartment, say that the high-school-
boys are making better progress than
the full-time apprentices, and Superin-
tendent Joseph G.. Edgerlyt of the
Fitchburg public schools reports that
the schoolroom work of these boys is
fully up to the standard.
The success of the Fftchburg plan
seems so we'll assured that steps are
being taken in number of other
cities, whose school authorities have
been in correspondence with Superin-
tendent Edgerly, to begin similar
courses next year. Superintendent
Edgerly and Principal John G. Thomp-
son Of the Massachusetts, State Nor
NAL school at Fitchburg, who has
taken deep interest in the working
out of the plan. believe they have gone
a long way toward solving the prob
lem Of how best to keep the boys in
the high school for the full four years
course, problem that has been the
despair Of educators in all manufac-
turing towns, such as is Fitchburg.
The belief of many parents, whether
right or wrong, that their boys, who
must eventually find their way into
the shops, were wasting time in school
when they could be learning a trade
has been the chief cause of. the falling
of in the enrolment of second and
third-year high school classes.
Inability of parents to support their
boys during the four years they were
in the high school has also unquestion-
ably been a big factor, but this has
been eliminated in Fitchburg, as the
boys who take the shop-work course
will be able to earn enough to clothe
themselves, and even pay board, with
out interference with their school
work, since they receive regular ap-
prentice wages for the actual time
they work in the factories. The first
year they receive ten cents an hour,
and they work approximately 1850
hours. Working the same number Of
hours the two following years, they
receive II and 1914 cents an hour, re-
spectively, and they are as we'll fitted

operation of lathes, planners, drilling

such other machine work, according to
the ability of the apprentice, as per-
