MEXICAN BUYS BABY AND PRESENTS
 BILL OF SALE IN DOUGLAS COURT

Two Mexican $ came into Judge Rice s court yesterday morning, with a strange tale, says the Douglas Dispatch. They stated that they were in posses sion of baby, which one of them had had since the eighth day of May, this year, and they had drawn up a paper which they wished to have recorded so that the child could not be taken away from his adopted foster father.
 The father of the baby, the foster father explained, lived in the Chirica- huas, where the Mexieans also reside. The father is described as hard drink CT and unable to support the little one. The mother, separated from her husband, eloped with another man, and the child was left in the care of the dissolute father. Then it was that Jose Provencia, according to his own story, went to the father and made deal for the child.
 cowboy, A. E. N. Rodman, drew up a bill of sale in English which Proven cia presented before Judge Rice for record. His honor explained that the only way he could hold the child was to go into probate court and adopt the baby according to the law laid down in such cases.
 Provencia then explained that though he had kept the child since May, its father yesterday came to the conclusion that he would go back on his bargain, and demanded the return of the child. Judge Rice advised Pro. vencia that in ease the father made de- mand for the child, it be given up at once, as it's father was the only person that at the present had a right to it., the. bill of sale and agreement stand ing for nought.
 "If l return the child to its father, could 1 demand payment for it's keep and care since last May2" Provencia asked. He was informed that probably the father would pay for that, but Provencia said that the father had nothing to give, and that he preferred to hold the child as hostage. He was informed that he could not do this, no matter how much the father owed him, on any bill whatsoever, in the United States, and left the court.
 The agreement which Proveneia pre- sented in court is unique, and is given verbatum here as follows:
 To whom it may concern;
 This agreement, made this Sth day of May, 1909, between Antonio Valcn- cia, the party of the first part, and Jose Proyencia, the party of the sec ond part, both of Chiricahua, Arizona, witnesses: That the party of the first part, in consideration of covenants on

The building can be cleared in a very few seconds. with little possibility of holocaust. iu ease of fire, which in itself will be a neager possibility, owing to the fire proof construction of the building.

SULTAN STORE HALF FINISHED

The new home of Sultan Brothers store is practically half finished, ;hc olth half of this building having been moved into yesterday.
 The lower floor on this side is prac- heally completed, with the exception of the work of the decorators. On the second floor, this work has not pro sressed 50 rapidly, owing to the fact that the efforts of the workmen have been concentrated on the business room, putting it in shape for oceu- Pancy.
 The work of tearing down the re nainder of the old building will be commenced Monday. It will be mat Ter or only short time until this o1ldiug is removed. The work of ex- awaiting the remainder of the base nent will then be commenced.

RUSH AMsTER PROJECTS

Work on the new Amster building, at Broad and Oak streets has been recon. menced in earnest, with the arrival of the long delayed structural steel.
 The stability with which the first floor is being constructed gives evi- dence of the thorough manner in which this building will be erected. The main floor joists are two by sixteen inches in size, laid on close centers. This should provide a floor capable of with. standing any ordinary strain.
 Much of the material for the erection of the new building is already on the ground and as a big force of men is at work on the building, it's completion should be matter of only few weeks.
 From the plans for the structure which were drawn up by Engineers Sultan and Wayne, the new building should be a particularly handsome one and credit to the business distret of this city.
 Work on the Amster building at Broad and Bailey streets has progress ed to stage where its completion is assured within a month.
 On the first floor, the plasterers will begin work the first of the week The second floor is practically ready for the fathers and a months time for the completion of this work is apparently all that will be necessary

BIG RETURNS EXPECTED FROM VALLEY TOWNS RESULT

The ten-day contest for the beauti- ful gold watch in the Silver Belt s pop ular subscription contest will close promptly at noon tomorrow
 To the young lady securing the great est number of subscription points--a point for each month secured, and no subscription for less than three months
 will be presented this pretty time piece.
 In order that the Solomonville candi dates may have an even break with the Globe candidates the count will not Globe on Wednesday evening. It may be possible that the result cannot be announced until Friday morning, as of ten the mail is not distributed until a late hour.
 While the vote has been comparative ly small during the past few days, the candidates have all been active, and there will he a down-pouring of ballots before noon tomorrow. In Globe alone there are more than 100000 votes out standing which will be cast before the appointed hour Ii will be surprise if the valley girls do not come through with tremendous vote.
 That something is doing among the candidates the contest editor will state that number of enquiries have been made at the office for the votes given on a fifteen year subscription. As the Silver Belt has never published this figure, we will state this morning that the candidate securing a subscriber for fifteen years will be given 10000 votes. As matter of business, how ever, the Silver Belt would prefer fiji teen one-year subscribers to one fifteen year subscription, as the object of this contest is to increase the newspaper s circulation. However, there is no re- striction on fifteen year subscriptions and the award will be l20,000 votes.
 The contest editor has sufficient in- formation at hand to warrant the as sertion that it will take some tall rust ling to win the gold watch to be award ed Thursday or Friday. and the young ladies will do well to put in every min The standing of the candidates is un.

PROFESSIONAL LADIES' ANSWER
Washington Feminine Lawyers
Point to Consideration in Which
They Are Held.

CHICAGO, October 3O.-"You can't be
theologians. because you haven't the power
OF analysis: you can't be lawyers, because
you are devoid of the reasoning faculty:
you are not successful scientists. because
you can consider only one detail at time:
you are only occasionally successful in
business. and you succeed only in those
branches of medicine which call for the
exercise of the nursing instinct.
Federal Judge Peter S. Grosscup told
the women of the Ossoli Club, the wom-
ans auxiliary of the Highland Park Club.
all these things in an address at
the first meeting of the club this sea-
son In the clubhouse of the mems organ
ization. But he evaded the vengeance that
might otherwise have been wrought upon
him by telling the women a lot of things
they can do and which they must do If
this old world is to roll along unchanged
In the course mapped for it.
His Analysis of Woman's Work.
But" he said. Il wish to present an
analysis of woman's work from my point
OF view. The only woman lawyer I
know who is success in her profession
began her career by being put in Jail for
contempt of court for throwing a pitcher
of water at judge who overruled her
motion.
I'm law. theology and medicine she
rarely succeeds; she can't be a scientist.
because that involves Il multitude of de-
tails. and while woman is essentially
creature of detail. she can consider but
one detail at time, and not many in
their relation to one another.
iii tell you what woman can do The
feminine mind is the complement of the
masculine mind. With but one of them
In existence. the world would soon be-
come a dreary place, and in few gen.
erations it's population would disappear"
