sweetest girls | have ever
seen. She came into the
office of the little variety the
atre of which | was the man.
ager about twelve one morning,
and whatever trouble she was
in had not affected her beauty,
although it wasn't hard to see
that she was laboring under
severe mental strain.
Il shall appear very imperti-
nent to you, I'm sure" she be-
gan "but l have a favor to ask
of you, and have to tell you in
advance that you simply MUST
grant it.
l informed her that | was at
her service, and would be glad
to accommodate in any way l
could.
We'll, you're showing a pic
ture here this week of tour
through the sights of the city.
It's supposed to have been taken
at night, but, of course, that
part isn't true. But in it is
shown some one very dear to
me-some one who shouldn't
have been there-and / simply
MUST have a copy of a part of
that film. In fact, what it costs
makes very little difference
I've simply GOT to have it -
l explained to her that the
films were merely rented to US
by a syndicate, and that this
one would prove very expen-
sive, being entirely new, and
something near nine hundred
feet long. Also, that under the
circumstances l was powerless
to be of any help whatever to
her.
| did, hwever, give her the
name and address of the picture
concern, and suggested that she
write to them.
"Oh can't you see that won't
do at all?" she said, beginning
to sob convulsively.
Now, when a woman cries,
that's enough; but when she's
very young, and strikingly hand
some, and is crying to NE, she
gets what she wants if have
TO give a second mortgage on
the theatre to get it for her.
Just suppose you tell me a
little something about this, and
exactly what it is you want;
then, perhaps, I'll have better
idea of how | can help you," 1
suggested.
We'll, I'll tell you, although
1T hurts to have to take any one
into my confidence regarding
this affair"
Il don't want to pry into
your affairs" l replied.
"Why, it's my husband-you
understand = he's shown in
that picture-at least, I've been
told he -is-and the picture
shows him coming out of a va
riety theatre-well, where the
picture was taken, you know
with an-er-anothe woman"
"Oh! | see," | replied, for
the want of something better to
say. "And you want to get one

Celebration July Fourth

Though little late in making
a start the Order of Owls have
appointed a committee to ar
range for a Fourth of July cele-
bration at Winslow. To make
it good there will be two days of
it, Sunday and Monday, July
4th and 5th.
The celebration will consist of
baseball games, foot races, horse
races, Indian races and many
other forms of amusement which
will go to make pleasing enter
tainment for those who stay at
home.
The committee is now hard at
work soliciting subscriptions
from the various merchants of
the town and are meeting with
hattering success. Owing to
their hardness in making their
arrangements it will take some
hard work and conscientious
hustling to make success of the
affair and a little help from all
approached for a donation will
somewhat tighten their burden.
Boost, everybody, and lets
have a bowling success at home.
AS the affair progresses the
MAIL will keep its readers fully
posted.

spoke a few words to the gradu-
ates and presented each one with
diploma for their good work.
Miss Lenora Daze presented
the teachers with gifts from their
pupils, Miss Buxton receiving a
beautiful turquois ring, a heart
locket and a souvenir spoon;
Miss Todd a souvenir spoon, and
Prof. Waters an elegant necktie.
The programme was closed by
the orchestra after which the
graduates were the recipients of
the congratulations of their
many friends.

The Aridome Amusement Co.

go.round. The Pittsburg Glass
show where every visitor will be
presented with beautiful glass
souvenir and a number of other
attractions, pleasing and anus

Texas Laws

Texas is the only state in the
Union that enforces it's laws
against malefactors. The fact
that criminal may be wealthy
and he member of a powerful
corporation does not prevent his
conviction ard sentencing if
found guilty. This method does
not obtain in the other States,
rather 1t is that the wealthy GRIM
inaI can always come clear by
use of his money and position in
society. In Texas the people
make the laws and enforce them,
and when the powerful magnate
is found guilty and his lawyers
appeal to the Uuited States Su-
preme Court, they suddenly be.
come aware that the highest
court in the land decided to up
hold the Texas. law, which is
proof that Texas laws are good
laws and will always be upheld.
1t would be a SPLENDID idea if
the people of Arizona would re-
solve that in entering statehood
they would be even better, if
possible, than Texas, in making
laws that will deal justice alike
to the rich and the poor criminal.
Texas is a great state simply
because the people. and not the
corporations, rule. Arizona
should prepare to do the same
thing when she becomes a State.
No man should be elected to the
legislative who is in any way con-
.nected with corporation, for it
is. the corporation that will rule,
not the people, when It's tools are
selected as lawmakers. Stafford

At the Opera House on Thurs
day evening the Commencement
Exercises of the graduates took
place, there being four boys and
seven girls in the class. The stage
was beautifully decorated with
evergreens and flowers. At eight
o'clock the graduates took their
places on the stage. The orches-
ira opened the program.
Miss Stella Allen gave an essay
on the Grand Canyon, which was
very good. 1.-The Early Pioneers
of Arizona" by Ada French, was
enjoyed by all. "Our Northern
Neighbors" by Nellie Henderson,
was we'll recited. Life is His
tory, Not Poetry" by Amy Dagg,
was very effectively rendered.
"Infunce of Literature Upon
Character" byArthur aPrade,
was well given and pleasing to
all. "Class Song" composed by
Nellie Henderson, and sang by
the entire class, was very fine.
The young lady deserves credit
for composing such a pretty
verse. Glass Prophecy" by
Margaret Morrison was very
amusing and interesting, and the
old maids will still live through
it. "Our Flag and Valedictory"
by Temple Penrod, was well
worth mentioning, and enjoyed
by all.
Professor A. N. Taylor, of the
Normal of Flagstaff, delivered a
very interesting address and
spoke very pleasingly to the
children and parents on the value
of education. He addressed his
remarks particularly to the boys
to lead an honest and upright
life and not do anything that
they would be ashamed of Pro-
fessor Taylor's address. was very
pleasing and was enjoyed by the
parents and children. At the
close of the address the Professor

School Exercises

70, at the W1nSlOW opera MOUSE
the closing exercises of the Gram
mer Schools were held. The fol
lowing program was rendered by
the children:
Fan Drill" by the small boys
and girls; very prettily done.
"The May Pole Dance given by
the Mexican children made very
pretty effect, the children and
teacher deserve much credit for
having taken their part SO well.
"Dollie Stop Weeping by II lit
tie girls was sang very sweetly.
"The Dolls HospitaP' was very
laughable, and the children took
their parts well. "Uncle Sans
Brigade" given by the boys, who
deserve credit for their good
work. Their marching and sing
ing was well done. Our little
colored boy, Hollis, took his part
we'll; his song and little roast to
"Frisky' were enjoyed by all.
"The Flag Drill" is worth
creditable mention, the little
children of the Mexican school
deserving great credit for the
way they carried the American
flag, and their marching and time
was perfect. "The Little Moth
ers" sang their part we'll. San
dy's Romance" by Bernetti
Smonson was recited very effec-
lively. The Dumb Bell exercise
by the larger boys was enjoyed
by all, and boys living in our
large cities could not have done
any better than our Winslow
boys did. Drifting Out to Sea"
by Ada Dagg was well recited,
and literally applauded by the
audience. "The New Church Or
gan" by the seven old maids was
certainly fine. The costumes
were perfect and the old maids
acted their parts to a finish. The
ladies of Winslow will have to
take their fashion from the old
maids from now on.
The orchestra closed the pro-
gram, after which the people re-
turned home from pleasant
evenings entertainment.
A pleasing feature of the even
ings entertainment was the pre-
sentation to the boy and the girl
standing highest in each class of
a meinento of the occasion, the
presents being donated by Mr..
E. Y. Malich.

Schools wish to thank Miss Day,
