THB ERUDlTE DOMESTIC.

When on the LIST Of July Henry
Auchincloss left his business to spend
his vacation with his mother, he was
somewhat anxious as to how ne
should find her. The old lady hat
been struggling with the servant
problem during the winter and re-
ports had come to her son that she
was on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton. What was his relief on his ar
rival to find the house in prime con-
dftion and his mother resting.
"Cornelia looked so respectable,
said Mrs. Auchincloss. that hesi-
tated about employing her. But she
has kept her place, done her work
splendidly and never has any COM
pany.'
The son was delighted and resolv-
ed TO give the new maid sundry tips
by way OF encouragement. She wait
ed on the table. and at dinner on the
evening OF his arrival he looked her
over carefully.
Mother" said Henry one day at
dinner when speaking Of the capital
and labor question. what was the
name OF the league organized in the
eleventh century against the robber
barons?'
Mrs. Auchincloss didn't know, and
Henry was about to go to the library
to hunt for information.

Both mother and son looked up at
her in astonishment
We'll, what is it," asked Henry.
THE Hansiatic."
There was silence for some mo-
ments, when Henry looked at his
mother and said, smiling:
Mother, does it require cyclo-
pedia to run this house?"
What surprises me-" replied the
mother, "is that cyclopedia can run
1t and run it so well. l supposed it
required domestic"
What Is your other name, Cor
nelia?" asked Henry.

He spoke with serio-comic tone and
expression.

maintaining her servants demeanor.
Very well, Miss Yale. I'll not per-
init one who knows more than 1 do

AFTER STATISTICS
 ABOUT TEMPE CROPS
The Farmers Being Visited by Agents
 of the U. S. R. s.

T. W. Bradford and H. M. Bargman of the United States reclamation service are registered at the Casa Loma- These gentlemen are here for the purpose of gathering what is known as a crop report, the statistics of which are carefully kept by the reclamation service for future refer ence
 These same gentlemen took the re- port here last July, and it is probable that for some years to come this will be taken annually. The purpose of the report is to have figures of the crop productions for number of years in advance to compare with the yield after the reclamation project has been completed, thus showing just how much of gain has been made by the use of the additional water supplied by the project at Roosevelt.
 Messrs. Bradford and Bargman have completed their work in the Mesa country and will be here until the rest of the south side Is finished. This will take probably a week or ten days. They will call upon every farmer un- der the Tempe canal. and these farm CTS can materially help these gentle men in their work by having what things they will desire to know all ready looked up. What they will want to find out will be the acreage under cultivation, to what crops planted and the yield, together with the water supply. etc. They spent yesterday picking up data about town and this morning will commence their work fin the country.

given by The Tempe Normal Stu dent" In this contest the representa- tives are from the different high schools of the territory. and 1t is gen erally known as the High School Declamatory Contest" The event this year gives promise of being more than commonly interesting. Several high schools that have not heretofore been represented will have contestants here this year
 The question of judges, medals and tickets has been mentioned previously to this time, but for those who have only lately taken interest in the idea 1t might be well to again summarize the main points. The judges are to be selected by The Student, and to them will be left the method of grad ing. Their names will be announced before the contest. The medals are two, the gold one for first prize. and the silver for second prize. These medals are expected to arrive any day and will be on exhibition in the trophy case at the Normal As on other years, admission will be free, but on account of the limited room in the auditorium. some provision has to be made for seating the audience. As it is not pos sible to have all who would like to come present, it has been decided to follow the plan of other years in giv- ing out the tickets. Two will be given to each advertiser in The Student, one to each subscriber. and the tickets that are left over will be sent out to those who send a self addressed, stamped envelope to the business managers of The Student. The tickets will be sent out this week. The usual musical pro- gram will be provided and for those who have been present on other years, there is no need of further comment upon it. It has always been the best talent of the territory, and the pro- gram of March 13 will be none below the standard of other years.

.DEMENlED MAN CAPTURED
 BY \ MESA OFFICER
Frank Hester Has Hallucination That He is Being Pursued at all Times by lndeseribable Objects.

Trembling from head to foot and white as a sheet, a man giving his name as Frank Hester approached that terrible indescribable objects were after him and that any way he happened to turn he could see them approaching. The marshal took look up and down the street and could see nothing but ordinary in- dividuals, no better looking, but cer- tainly no uglier than usual and he so advised the man, but it was all to no avail, for Hester was sure that he was being pursued. The marshal again tried to console the man, but in vain. He finally requested that he be locked up, thinking that the bars of the jail would keep him from being attacked.
 Hester, after spending some time at the jail complained that there were unearthly noises all about him He states that he has been confined in the territorial asylum at Phoenix, but that he escaped in the night He has no idea of time whatever He can remember places and describe them fairly we'll, but hsi ideas of time are entirely gone. He is a man of about forty-five years of age and states that his parents lived in Ten nessee.
 According to the mans story he has travelled all over Arizona, Texas and New Mexico The sheriffs office has been notified and he will be placed in the asylum for safe keep ing

THE MAKING OF 4 MINE

Work continues unabated on the properties of the, Arizona -Bouse Cop per Company at Bouse. Since our last announcement the force of men at work has been increased and a Fair banks Morse gasoline hoist has been purchasd and is now installed on the Little Butte shaft. This shaft is being sunk rapidly and drifting continues in both directions. The full face of the drifts and the bottom of the shaft are in ore so that no waste rock need be handled. The ore is being piled up on the dump and as it averages 10 to 13 per cent copper, and sS to s1o gold, it will yield a handsome return to the company in a short time. The cars already shipped have netted over s700, after paying the freight and shelter charges.
 HOW TO GET INTO COPPER.
 The time to make money in copper Is between organization and dividends. Before dividends are declared the price of stock is invariably below. par after dividends, usually much above par The man who has a million to invest can afford to buy mine after it has become a dividend payer and often waits until then. The man of moderate means can not afford to buy at the top-notch price. He CAN af- ford to buy stock at the organization price. His enterprise, his judgment and his faith count for as much as his subscription.
 For a few days the price of the Ari- zona- -Bouse Copper Company stock re- mains at Is cents. It will be to your advantage to secure the benefit of the pre- organization price as the stock will certainly advance rapidly.

The Forman revival has reached such a stage of interest and power that a March snap has only a slight effect. There must have been at least 300 out Sunday night, and last night was good. Several conversions and reclamations have come to encourage the workers. The solos by Mrs. Good win Sunday evening and by Miss Pal mer last night were splendid. Tonight the song service will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock. Let every singer who can help be on the program for service. Last night Mir. Forman spoke from Hebrews 9:12-14. with the atonement for his theme. He said in part:
 This subject is one which many people oppose as a bloody religion. But they can't get around the fact that the doctrine of the salvation is Gods plan of religion. The natural man has no spiritual existence Adam and Eve lost their standing with God through sin. and tried for restoration through works in making fig-leaf clothing, but God came and clothed them with the skins of animals. show ing that the shedding of blood was necessary. True salvation is by blood alone and not by works Atonement means atone -meant-at one with God. The infidel says, T don't believe fin the innocent suffering for the guilty You don't? Consider a few. examples. A man commits a crime and is sent to prison. Which suffers most-the man, or his heart broken family? The mother with a drunken son suffers far more than the boy. The young wife with the untrue hus- band suffers more than does the scoundrel. An, you can't argue with sin, my friend. How long shall sin reign? Until the blood of Jesus Christ is applied.
 The Standard oil company some years ago had black on their hands in the nature of a white elephant. They couldn't burn 1t on account of the smoke ordinance, and to bury it was almost impossible, as it accum- uiates so rapidly So they set their chemists to work on it to see in what way it could be destroyed They worked almost day and night Fi- nally one day a chemist came from the laboratory with some of the sub stance in his hand as white as the driven snow. The problem was solved Now the black. crude substance could be used. It was changed to paraffin So with sin.
