Ralph II. Cameron of Flagstaff, Arz.,
delegate to Congress, who takes his
seat on March 4, is making arrange
ments to return to his native town Of
plans to purchase the old homestead
located on the west side mature, it is
probable that Mr. Cameron will make
many improvements and repairs and
turn it into a delightful summer home.
Mr.. Cameron, although a very young
man when he left Southport to seek
his fortune in the far West, has never
lost sight of his former birthplace and
his boyhood friends frequently hear
from him and will be glad to give a
JOYOUS welcome to him in the advent of
his return. Since locating in Arizona
he has become a Republican leader in
a Democratic stronghold. Since he has
been elected a delegate to Congress he
has become especially serious in regard
to statehood for Arizona and is going
to work in a very determined way.
The correspondents speak of him in the
highest terms and like the manner in
which he is acquainting himself with
the leaders of Congress, and the good
taste he manifests in always speaking
a good word for statehood at just the
right time 1t is expected that Dele
gate Cameron will at least pay a visit
to his old home upon the adjournment
of Congress and after returning TO
Flagstaff may come back here to spend
his summer vacation.

The club women are now making
ready for the mid-winter meeting ut
Augusta, to be held at the State House
on January the goth when there will
be a large attendance of club women
from all over the State. So many
questions come up at the annual meet
ing these days that the mid winter
meeting seems very important and
calls out large representation of ill
fuental women while it fills in the
break between the annual meetings
and gives the members another OPP
portunity to familiarize themselves
with the different phrases of important
questions.

Happy lott is talking up a Maine
league. Bangor, Old Town, Augusta
Gardiner, Portland and Biddeford
would be the proper circuit, he thinks
and he suggests that each team should
plank down $1,000 before the season
opens for a reserve fund to keep the
league from going to pieces. lofts
energy is such that maybe he would be
willing to come up to Biddeford and
collect that $1000.-Biddeford Record.
And after he gets through at Bidde-
ford. it would be the fun of lifetime
to watch him tackle Augusta.

A large number OF crows were forng-
ing for food not long hgo close TO the
house Of farmer IN West Virginia
They were unusually bold, as though
hunger had driven them TO forget their
usual shyness and diBtrust OF their
natural enemics-men.
Two OF them aiighted close 10 the
back door and picked up the crumbs
with an apparent assurance Of their
safety not easily accounted for. The
farmer was telling a neighbor about
tho tameness Of the birds, and the lat.
ter remarked:
"You won't see them fooihardy to-
morrow"
why not tomorrow as wen as to-
dayT
Because today is Sunday, and these
crows know It They know that one
day In seven they are not popped at
by boys and men. They can count,
crows can, and they know that on the
seventh day they are exempt from per
gecution.
Il once lived near swamp where
thousands Of crows made their rooat-
Ing place, and early In the morning
they used TO start for tho mountains
for their food. was often out with
my gun trying to get a shot at them.
Week days they were shy Of me, and
! seldom got shot at them, but on
Sunday morning 1t was different Then
they would iiy low and close to my
house, their wings almost tapping the
ridgeboards Of house and barns. Do
crows know when It IL sunday7 OF
course they do."-E Exchange.

In a certain private school there Is a
small boy who is always cheerfully
miles behind everybody else. lie "a
not dun boy. but learning does not
appeal to him as being a thing espe-
cially to be desired. Recently the
teacher told the class In composition
that on the next day she would expect
each OF them TO be able to write a
short anecdote. She explained with
great care the meaning of the word
anecdote and next day when she eelied
the class up to write all but the lag
gard went at once to work.
why don't you write an anecdote.

II forgot what an anecdote is," said
Rob, undisturbed-
Il explained to you yesterday, Rob,
and you ought to remember" said the
teacher. bit out Of patience, "An
anecd9te is tale. Now write"
Rob bent over his slate and, with
much twisting Of brow and writhIng
Of lip. ground out his task. When the
states were collected his was at the
very top Of the heap. The teacher
picked 1t up. and this Is what she read:
Yesterday we had soup made from
