NJ. and Private Micky Power of "F" troop. This promises to be an in teresting affair, and a large delegation of Bisbee and Tombstone sports are expected to grace the occasion.
 "Kid' Kennedy is an expert with his dukes" having demonstrated his ability in several contests in the roped arena While "Micky," ss his friends say, has certainly got the wollop," at any rate he has fst on him like sack of spuds, and has not missed meal since he joined the army, all of which goes to strengthen the boys belief that Uncle Ssm's fighting qualities will be ably looked after by this Irish idol. The fact that it will be on St Pstrick's Day is suf- fcient surety that "Micky" will be the victor.

 The concession which Wells-Fargo had on the Mexican Central expired with the close O! last year, and as the Mexican government had declared that in future the express business of the republic must be conducted by one company with its general offices in the City of Mexico, it was believed that Wells Fargo would lose out. On the contrary, however, that corpora. ton -ent it's officials into Mexico, and after negotiations lasting for several weeks an agreement was made with the government wher .by the com psny was to establish it's general offices for the republic in that coun. try and maintain it's auditors and other officials in the City of Mexico in consideration of which the busi. ness over the merged roads was to be given it exclusively.

The Story of
 Saint Patrick

It is a pity that the noble life Of
 the patron saint of Ireland should be
 SO little known beyond his birthday
 celebration every March l7th St
 Patrick was a hero whose life was full
 of romance and adventure, as we'll as
 of self-sscrificing labors for the lsno of his adoption. His birthplace is
 not certainly known, but is credited
 to a part of Italy near Nice. which now belongs to France As boy
 however, te lived in the region ot the
 River Clyde, in Scotland, near the town of Fitzpatrick. We know that his ancestors were among the first to welcome Christianity into Britain and that his father was deacon he himself left on record.
 Tine boy kept his fathers keep upon the lonely moor. When Iu his six teenth year he went out with his sheep and did not return for six long years. IL was not uncommon IT those days for pirates to raid from their ships and carry away cap,ives to be slaves to the Irish chieftains who led so wild life across the sea. A petty chief became his master and subject ed him to many indignitie.. An op portunity finally came for escape and after visiting his parents in Scotland. San Patricio determined to fit him self for preaching. After years spent in study at the best schools in France, he went to Rome, where to his great joy he received-probsbly in the year 43I A. D.-s commission to preach in Ireland. At the end of many years of heroic labor he could count 365 churches founded and l2,O0O persons baptized by his own hand. He did | not die until the land had been en- .irely clesnsed of the darkest of its and cruelty and a new begun. the benefits of which still keep green the memory of | Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland

Big Row in
 Masonic Relations

Again the negro" the bone of con- tention, has been the cause of another
 TOW, this time in the Masonic frater-
 nifty, and now several of the grand
 bodies Of the different states threaten
 to sever all relations with the Grand
 Lodge of New Jersey because Of the reply given to Grand Master Martin
 of Mississippi, who last August wrote to the Grand Master of the Masonic bodies in New Jersey asking if it was true that the Grand Lodge of New Jersey affiliated with negroes, and in reply Grand Master William D. Wolf skel, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, replied "thst there wac a negro lodge at New ark (Alphs 1f6) that was Tn god standing, and that there was no law in the New Jersey jurisdiction denying to negroes full recognition as Masons. A big muss has been stirred up by this reply. The B. P. 0. Elks is the only order which uses great vigilance to protect itself against any infringement by negro imitstOrs, and the Grand Order sppropriates thousands of dol lars annually to protect the Order. For awhile the negroes tried to get up s side issue of the Elks, but the vipor- ous prosecutions which followed put the negro Elks out of business. The of the Elks especially provides barrier against any negroes ever in any way becoming affiliated with that order.

 The paper says the plant, while recognized as a cactus, is referred to a: "cstcuss" because, ss it explains "the bulb, full of thorns, springs like n cat, and it makes its victim. cu--, hence the name "catcuss" Is cohsid cred more appropriate than cactus.
