The present visit to this city of l'rol
Pierre PiancIli, maitre d'armeS of Bos-
ton is a reminder of the organization
iii March 1908 of the Pianellf Fencing
Club, which owes its formation to the
interest in the sport caused by for
mer visit to this city of Prof. Pianelli.
He is accompanied on this visit by
his wife, who is an accomplished plan
list and has pupils from the best fam
lies of Boston. During their stay
here Prof. and Mrs. Pianelli are d.
yiding their time between the homes
of Charles d. White and Melvin e.
Sawtellc, two enthusiastic members of
the Pianclli Club From here the
Pianellis will go back to Paris, which
city they have not visited for several!
years.
Augusta is the only city i'm Maine,
which boasts of q fiouriShing club de-
voted exclusively to the art of fencing
and some of the best known business
and professional men of the capital
city are enthusiastic devotees of the
shining foil. In the last public fenc-
ing contest held in this city, which
took place April 80 at Woodmen hall
the Pianelli Club defeated a team of
fencers from Bowdoin College by d
score of 5 to 4.
Prof Pianelli is the instructor of
fencing at the b. A. A. in Boston and
also favoritc with the Harvard men.
He is not only the one for whom the
club is named and to whom the mem
bcrs extend a sort of worship, but
he is also it's mentor. On previous oc-
casions when he has been the guest
in Augusta of Mr.. White he has given
private lessons to nearly all the lead
ing fencers of the organization: He is
doing less work than formerly on his
present visit. Fencing much too

sisted member of the club in giving
a lesson.
Pierre Pianclli is Il native of Corsica
and at the age of Is entered a fencing
school. The foil came naturally to
his hand and it was no surprise to the
instructors when he entered the SER
vice Of France as the youngest maitre
i'armcs in the army. In his second
year he stood the eleventh man in d
school of go pupils.
Honors came to him rapidly after
his graduation. In a competition en-
bracing the fencing masters of 81 regi-
ments he came out seventh in fencing
and fifth in point of skill as an in
structor. For The work that he did IN
the French service he received the
cross of the Legion, and his book OF
records, certified bya the adjutants OF
the regiments with which he has
served, is one that would make many
a man vain of his proves. But Plan
ELI is Il very unassuming man even

Our Arizona Christmas.

Human emotions are so unavoid- ably affected in large measure ey environment and physical conditions that it seems easier in Arizona than elsewhere to adjust ones self to the true Christmas spirit"-to that feel ing of peace on earth and of good will to men which is one of the most precious heritages of that benignant Spirit whose birth anniversary all the world. regardless of creeds, delights today to honor. Easier, because grim winter is not the season in which heart beats are the most cheery, and ours is not the dead and solemn win ter with which most of our country men are familiar. A Christmas In the spring-like and genial sunshine of the Salt River valley is not the Christmas of tradition. nor the day of bleak December weather which practically all of us knew in child hood and until recent years. But II is nevertheless, a Christmas that we have grown to love-a Christmas which floods the heart with an inner sunshine that is typical of the sum- shine which floods all outdoors.
