CALIFORNIA HORSES
 AT PHOENIX TRACK
Arrival of H. H. Holman and Home Rutherford, With Their
 Time Eliminators.

Among the latest horsemen to arrive here with their racing strings are two of the leading California owners. One Is Homer Rutherford who has been a pretty regular attendant at the Ariz ona fair and who is the owner of Jos ephine and other good horses. the names of which have illumined the racing cards. 4--t-
 The other gentleman Is Henry H. Helrnan.. secretary and manager of the famous Pleasanton race tarck. MT. Helman inspected the fair grounds and says he is well pleased with the plant and considers the track one of the fin est he ever saw in his thirty years ex- perience in driving. for it was just thirty years ago that he drove in his first race. He is enthusiastic over the coming meeting and says that with the excellent racing plant and the fine lot of horses that will be here 1t will cer- tainly be a notable event.
 Mir Helman brought with him two horses that are designed to furnish some amusement for the race lovers. One of them is Kid Wilkes, a trotter with a record of 2:09h and is entered in the Copper Stake and naturally ex- poets to nose in among the money win ners. The other horse is Demonio Wilkes He is a pacer with record of 2:IIh and is entered in several of the races Harry Friedman, president of the Humane society, is personal friend of MT. Holman having met him on one of his trips to the coast. Yes terday Mir Friedman looked over the California stock and said it was all right, he couldn't find any excuse for ordering any of the horses shot
 MT. Helman is also the owner of a promising young horse. Alconda Jay sired by Jaybird and the son of a mare by Byron Wilkes. Alconda Jay, wa
 bought at Lexington at the same time Justo was bought for Mrs. J. C. Adams of this city. Incidentally MT. Helman practically owned Justo for one night just beofre that. A friend had asked him to buy good horse and he picked out Justo and told the owner he would take him. Knowing the owner the us- ual payment to bind the sale was not put up at the time as MT. Holman and | his friend expected to come back the next day and get the horse and pay | for him. But the friend was otherwise | engaged for the next three weeks and 1 when he got around to talk horse again ] Justo had been sold to the Phoenix
 buyer.

THE MODEL WIFE
Some Mems Ideas of a First Class
 Heipmeet.

Some interesting masculine views as to what constitutes an ideal helpmeet were stated last evening by the Rev. pr. Forrest E. Dagger of St. Paufs Re- formed Episcopal church. Broad and Venango streets. who preached on "A Model Wife" At his request various male members of the congregation sent him letters expressing their opinions on this interesting subject. and these he read, to the great wonder and edification of the large number of women present. Some of the views expressed follow:
 An ideal wife should not spend s25 week on a s20 salary"
 One that does not spend three parts of her time gadding with the neigh bors"
 one that has the breakfast dishes washed when her husband comes home for supper"
 "One who keeps her home neat and tidy"
 "One who does not harass the life and soul out of a man"
 "One who enjoys his prosperity and | is ready to sympathize with him in ' anu Np NAAN hOAhN ! happy"
 one who thinks more of her chill i dren than of bull pup" 1 "A woman with more gray matter in her upper story than red paint on her busybody face" "A woman who dresses well and is remembered more for herself than her | clothes"
 "A woman who cares more for her home and children than for afternoon bridges and parties "A woman who realizes .he value of peroxides as a disinfectant. not as a l hair dye I "A woman who does not consider her home complete when it consists of herself. her husband and dog"
 "A woman who reads, understands and obeys her Bible" | Dr. Dagger in his sermon advocated | combination of the ideas presented. | Especially should a woman be neat | and tidy. keep herself nicely dressed. | always have the meals ready when her husband arrives home, love her | children and home. read her Bible faithfully. and go to church regularly. l-Philadelphia Record.

THE BRIDGE OF YEARS.

When I was six and she was four, the
 midge, We used to play about the old red
 bridge. And often dug in sand for half the
 day; Twas then we made it spades as
 one might say. We quarreled fiercely once, as I re-
 call: She said a word-'twas not polite at all; She said it thrice to make her mean
 ing clear. We came to blows, i've made it
 clubs I fear. Long Afterwards we played at bridge
 Fl lost, Lost all, yet played on reckless of the
 cost: Then asked her. with the courage of
 despair, "A diamond may I make it-soli-
 taire?" Sae said a word: she said it very low And only once: it didn't sound like No" n was-and am-the happiest of men. For we have always made it hearts since then. Prank NJ Bicknell in November

ASKS ABOUT BETHANY

MY Lear MI. w aGSOn:
have just finished Bethany"
and desire to thank you for this sad,
sweet book.
To me you appear very different in
this book from what you do in any
thing else you have ever written.
have long admired you, and some
times condemned, but never before
reading Bethany" did | have the
feeling Of love for you. I think if our
people would all read this touching
story, and, in it, the authors own
heart and soul, you would be better
understood, or, at least, sometimes
less harshly judged.
desire to ask if the killing Of the
North Carolina soldier, who deserted,
in the presence of his wife and two
little girls really happened as related
Also if General Johnston killed the
gallant soldier boy in the West as
related. These. incidents are so hor-
rible and inhuman that I am con-
strained to ask you this, though I
note you say it is "a true story
Again, was Uncle Ralph your I'M
Gle, really?
1t seems to me [ recall that your
father died a few years ago? [ sup
pose this (your orphanage) devia-
ton from real life. Your pathetic lit
tie boyhood arouses such a deep in
terest in you that I ask.
Yes, in justice to you, Mr.. Watson,
| think the people Of the South, at
least, ought to read Bethany.
It shows better than anything the
softer, tenderer side of You, the side
that may naturally not be seen or
discovered by those who see you only
in the carnage of conflict.
There are many things | could ask
you about in Bethany, but it would
take too much of your time.
(Answer: The facts about the
North Carolina soldier, who was shot
in the presence Of his wife and chill
dren, were given me by Adolphus E.
Strother, Of Lincoln county, Georgia
He witnessed the tragedy.
The facts Of the numbering Of the
soldier who transferred himself from
the Confederate infantry to the Con-
federate cavalry, were related to me
by Capt. Phil Carroll, Of Augusta, Ga.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
Mr.. Strother and Capt. Carroll served
as Confederates, and that two drawer
men never wore a uniform.
In the letters Of Maj. Jos. B. Cum
ming, published in Jeffersonian Maya
zine of February, 1909, Capt. Car
rolls story is corroborated in all es-
sential particulars.
My father was removed from the
scene, for the purposes Of the story,
and my own age was advanced several
years, but, with these exceptions, the
story told in Bethany is true one.
"Uncle Ralph was William A. Wat
son, my youngest uncle. On his death
bed he gave me his gold sleeve-but-
cons, and one of the cruelest sacri-
