LUCY REJ0ICES IN
VISIT FROM PET MONKEY
EE0H H

EkOH, MoTHER!" cried Lucy,
jumping up from the supper
" table as she heard music in the
street. MY old organ grinder man and
the dear monkey have come!'
Mother went to the window, and,
sure enough, there was the organ
grinder man who used to come the
summer before, and while mother was
looking out of the window the monkey
climbed to the porch. He wore little
blue jacket, red breeches and a round
red cap.
Mother and Lucy went out on the
porch and gave the monkey a piece of
bread. He nibbled at it happily enough
until a sugar cooky was handed him;
then he carefully laid the bread on the
porch railing. He had a tiny fiddle,
and after he finished the cooky he be-
gan to draw the bow across 1T, but in
a solemn manner as if he saw no fun
in it himself, but was willing to pay
for his cooky.
Lucy ran into the house and brought
out a handful of cookies, which she
gave to the organ grinder. He stopped
right in the middle of a tune to take
them, which made the music change
to a groan. Then Lucy wanted the
monkey to play on the fiddle agaln,
but the man said: mo. Monk work
hard all day-he tired.," and patted the
little monkey kindly
''Too tired,'' repeated the man; ana
the monkey sprang up on the organ
grinders shoulder, put both arms
around his neck and blinked soberly
from under his cap. The man nodded
and smiled. and started off.
When they came to turn in the
road the organ grinder stopped for a
moment, and the monkey raised his
red cap and waved it toward Lucy

THE COMIC CONCERT

Everyone in the company chooses
an imaginary musical instrument. one
may be violin, another piano,
harp and so on. The leader of the band
also chooses one. say the flutes He
begins to play this imaginary instru-
ment, running his fingers up and down
it and footing away in representation
of the real instrument. AS soon as he
begins the other players must follow
suit; the piano player begins to strum
an imaginary piano, the violin player
to WELD his bow and so on-not only
must the players initiate the actions,
but also the sounds which proceed from
the various instruments.
During the concert the leader will
suddenly cease playing his flute and
commence playing the violin, when the
violin player must take up the leaders
discarded flute playing. Presently the
leader will change again. Any player
who fails to take up the leaders in
strument must take the leaders place
and likewise pay a forfeit.

All the closely guarded secret OF BUDS

Suggestions are given for interesting
study of the trees, both in summer,
when each twig is set with it's bios

the branches are bare. The finding out
of tree names in winter is described
in so alluring a manner that one is
convinced that no better outdoor sport
can be found.

this in her discussion of trees, how

early settlers had with the giant for

several kinds of which have now be-
come exceedingly rare. She also tells
of the fight which interested men and

 Red Skins

 The notification of appointment was accompanied by the request that Finch telegraph his acceptance at once This was done yesterday and it is expected that his commission will be here within the reXt few days.
 While Census Supervisor F. F. Towle was somewhat at sea regarding Finch s position, when advices regarding his recommendation for appointment were first received here, the matter was clear ed up yesterday, when Finch was noti- fled of his appointment.
 While he will have charge of the Indian enumeration throughout the ter ritory, he will work under the drec- ton of Supervisor Towle His appoint ment has been made to relieve the reg ular Arizona enumerators of the task of taking the Indian census.
 Finch will begin his work on April l5 and will be given three months in which to complete the work which has been allotted to him.

SALOON AT COPPER
 HILL REFUSED
Mandamus Suit of Kochevar and Puhara Denied by
 Judge Lewis

In an effort to secure saloon license at the Big Johnny mine, near Copper Hill, Mark KOchevar and John Puhara yesterday attempted to secure a writ of mandate from the district court, compelling Sheriff Henry Thompson to grant the license.
 The petition was denied, after Judge F. w. Lewis had heard considerable testimony on the matter in chamber. A well signed protest had been filed against the granting of the license and as the result, the applicants were un- able to secure the desired permit.
 Copper Hill is "dry' precinct, as the result of a local option election held some time ago. The statutes provide that no saloon license shall be granted within one mile of towns or cities in which saloons have been so abolished, except with the consent of the residents of the town or city affected. The pro- test against the much wanted license made its granting practically prohibit i've.
 In Judge Hinson Thomas court yes terday, Kochevar and Puhara, who were arrested last Monday, on charge of selllhg llquor at the Big Johnnie with out license, were given hearing. The testimony was very strong against them.
 The only defense offered by the de- fendants was to the effect that Pete Puhara, brother of one of the defen- dants, had been left in charge of the saloon, with orders to sell no liquor, but to serve those who visited the place without cost. They held that if he had sold liquors against their instruc- tions, they sould not be held respon- sible.
 If found guilty, Kochevar and Pu- hara will probably be assessed not less than $500, the annual license fee, to- gether with the court costs, as sentence for such violation of the territorial license law is so fixed. Judgement will be rendered today by Judge Thomas.
