THE LIVES OF o. HENRY

1t appears that the late O. Henry most delightful of

depth of his fall but from the splendid height of his
But neither of these two private lives he has led of
much consequence to the public in comparison with that
third and greater life which he lived, still lives and will
long continue to live, in his charming stories.
This third life is of smiles and cheer sym
pathes and genial tolerance of anothers faults 1t
has given ruer laugh for the joys of life and tncured
our tears for its woes with sweeter resignation.
He has left preserved forever the keen observations

In the jewel treasures of his genius, in the gold and
silver threads he has weaved into the human and

existence just the serene soaring eagle is above and

There's mystery there which the human mind cannot

ONE BITE TO A LAMB
FOR COLORADO
COYOTE

MANCOS, Col, July 27.-The
prevalence of prosperity in this Sec
ton of the country has raised the
standard of living all around, and
the coyote has profited thereby.
In fact, the coyotes around this
section of the country as so very
''finiky" about their eats that only
one bite to each sheep looks good
to 'em.
F. H. Taylor made this discovery.
He followed the directions of the
department of agriculture and built
a coyote tight fence. He had so
many sheep that he had to herd
them all together and build the
fence around them, and among the
sheep there was a coyote that
passed unnoticed.
A few days later he went into the
big incloseure and found several
lambs dead, and on examination
found one little bite nibbled off just
behind the foreleg of each lamb
and the rest of the carcass I'M
touched. Which is going some when
it comes to well appointed, deli
cate meal.
Outside of that Mr.. Taylor found
the coyote fence great invention.

Whether coming as citizens, an ex- hibitor or a salesman, it is all the same to Arzona-he will be welcomed any how, for he is evidently of the sort of progressive stockmen the country needs in greater numbers.
 And finally. if it will pay Mir San ders to travel clear across the conti- nent to show a hog or a COW at the Arizona fair, what shall be said about the stockmen who live only from ten to a couple of hundred miles away and do not regard an exhibit as worth while unless they have stock they are assured in advance will clean up all the money? It is safe to wager that the possible dollars MT. Sanders will get in premiums is the smallest consid- eration in this motives for making an exhibit.

DAIRY STOCK COMING
 FROM NEW AAhP SHIRE
New England Breeder Expects to Make Exhibit at the Territorial Fair.

Herewith is presented a short letter which carefully considered may mean a great deal:
 Frank Sanders, Breeder of Dutch Belt
 ed Cattle, Hamphshire swine. Laken-
 velder Fowl.
 Bristol, N H., Oct. 15, 1910. pr. J. C. Norton, Territorial Veterinari-
 an, Phoenix, Arizona:
 Dear Sir-I am shipping ten cattle, dairy stock of various ages, for breed ing, to Phoenix from Chicago; also four swine. Please send me written permit to go with the waybill as I want no de- lay on the road for l hope to get through for the fair at Phoenix from the dairy stock show. The cattle are tuberculin tested and the hogs are inn munized against hog cholera. Certifi- Cates of test I can furnish as I have them in hand. Send permit at once to me care of the national dairy show, Coliseum, Chicago, IL Very truly,
 FRANK R. SANDERS.
 Dr. Norton knows nothing about MT. Sanders save what is revealed by his letter head and letter, but a great many things are evident. One thing pleasing to those interested in this valley is that experienced and professional stock men in distant parts ore beginning to hear about Arizona as a place to rear good livestock Whether MT. Sanders contemplates coming here to settle and run a dairy. or coming here to sell high class stock or merely to enter the lists for premiums. nobody here knows, but it is sufficient to know that he is coming and it is hoped that be- fore many fairs have passed there will be a whole procession of people en- gagged in work of similar sort
 Another thing noticeable is that MT. Sanders seems to be a modern and up- to- date stockman. He knows what the sanitary laws are and has taken the trouble to post himself as to what they are in Arizona It is apparent also that he is a man who appreciates the value of safeguarding his stock. He does not get a health certificate mere ly to ship with but as he values his stock, so he cares for it before it gets sick. When it is well he wants to keep it so even if it costs a little. That does not apply merely to his high priced dairy stock but to his swine also. The average hog rancher" takes a chance. When his hogs get the cholera he lets them die, but MT. Sanders sees to it that his hogs cannot get the cholera.

WOOD SELLS INTEREST
 IN COLISEUM THEATfR
Popular Phoenix Vaudeville House Is now Owned Entirely by
 A. H.. Reeves

A H. Reeves is now sole propri- etor of the Colesium, having pur- chased the interest of his partner, George H. Wood He will continue to conduct it along the same lines as have proven so successful in the past.
 The Coliseum is reputed to be one of the best paying popular theatres in the southwest and Mir. Reeves has secured full control of a big money maker. It was with extreme regret that MT. Wood disposed of his interest, but he had determined to leave Phoenix and the theatre was something that he could not go away and leave in other hands. Therefore he decided to sell out and his partner. knowing the record of the house, made him the right kind of proposition.
 It has been almost two years since MT. Reeves and MT. Wood erected the Coliseum and opened it as a first-class vaudeville house. From the very beginning it was successful. due to the high class shows that were presented at ten and twenty cents. A standard was set and this standard has never been allowed to drop. Coliseum" and good audeville"-meaning vaude- vile such as is usually seen only in the largest cities-have come to be synonyms in Phoenix.
 Mir Reeves is the original moving picture man in Phoenix. More than year before he opened the Coli scum he established the old Electric theatre, on North First avenue. The program consisted of moving pictures and illustrated songs, and the ven ture was so successful that Mir Reeves soon decided that the thing to do was to build an airdome. which could be roofed in winter, and there present both pictures and vaudeville He formed a partnership with Mr.. Wood and the two erected the Coli scum. It wasn't long before the house had to be enlarged. and they have kept on enlarging and improv ing at frequent intervals ever since.
 Mir Wood has no immediate plans for the future. He may remain in Phoenix until next spring.
