Tempe High School
 Suffers a Disaster
MESA TOOK BOTH BASKET BALL
 GAMES.
And in Both Cases the Margins Wore
 Not Especially Narrow.

There was an awful disaster at the Tempe union high school grounds Saturday afternoon. party of young people from Mesa representing the Mesa union high school, came down here for a little visit and when they returned the scalps of the Tempe high school basket ball players hung gaily from their belts. There were two games played during the afternoon. one between the boys of the two schools and the other between the young ladies. Mesa did not show very generous spirit for 1t grabbed both games, and, not satisfied with merely winning. the young people from the Gem City took both games by scores that were de- cidedly one sided to say the least.
 The young ladies played fifteen minute halves with ten minute rests. In this contest B. M. Jones of Mesa was the referee, while Professor Sulli- van of Tempe acted as umpire. The final score was 29 to 6 in favor of Mesa.
 The young men played twenty minute halves. Professor McOmie of the Uni versity of Arizona refereed and Profes- sor Sullivan filled the umpires posi- tion. The young men did not do a great deal better than the young ladies, for the final score was 32 to 13-in favor of Mesa of course.
 Both games, however, were much more interesting and better played than the scores might appear to indicate Both schools made a good many fouls which might be expected from the fact that the games were the first ones of the season. It is anticipated that with more experience the playing on both sides will improve and it is predicted that when the two schools meet again a different story will be told

The Last Tribute
 Of Loving Friends
Funeral Service of Grandmother Moeur
 Sunday Afternoon.

The funeral of Mrs. Esther K. Moeur, whose death occurred Saturday even ing, was held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. L. E. Pafford. It has been long time since a funeral in Tempe has been attended by as many people as was that of Mrs. Moeur. Her many friends testified to the regard in which she was held by them all both by their presence and by their floral offerings. Grandmother Moeur has made Tempe her home for a good many years and was loved and respected by everyone who knew her. The funeral services were participated in by all of the min isters of Tempe, each one having a part in the service.
 The cortege that followed her re- mains to their last resting place at the Double Butte cemetery was long one and those who composed it suffered deep grief at the loss of one so high ly regarded by all.

 New Lecture Course
It Has Been Decided Upon for Decem
 Der IS and IS.

The management of the lecture course that has been promised for Tempe this winter announces that one number has been definitely decided up- on and that a couple more are practicai- ly settled. Dr Baumgardt, a noted lec- turer, has arranged to be here for a double header on the evenings of De cember 15 and 16. One other enter tainment of special merit has been nominally agreed upon but the commit tee has thought best to say nothing about it until everything is positive ly settled.
 There has been a very gratifying in terest taken in the course by Tempe people and enough tickets have been guaranted to fully assure the commit tee of the success of the venture.

Effects of Meat Eating.

The Indians of the plains. who
lived almost entirely on flesh, were
fierce and warlike enough; the Eski-
mos. who also live entirely on fesh,,
are ame2g the mildest and most
peaceable of men. The unfortunate
Armenians, per contra, are period
cally massacred by race of bloc
thirsty vegetarians. The Hindus OF
Bengal are the traditional horrible
example of the effects of living on
rice. But the Chinese and Japanese,
who also live on rice-in sufficient
ouantity-are about the toughest
and most enduring of mankind. Dur
ing the race of the allied armies to
Pekin the Japanese army, on diet
of rice and dried fish, outmarched the
Europeans by fifty per cent. Even
in India, the Sikhs and Rajputs, who
eat but twice day and rarely touch
meat. are among the finest men physi-
cally and the best soldiers on earth.

called his second life The country
round about the little town of Goucy

large forests In which even now men

huts were often for miles the only
signs of human habitation. Monsieu:
Rigaud still clung to the belief that
Goucy remained altogether un-

which passed over the world; but the
railway had reached 1t, and a new
spark of life had rekindled in the
little picturesque old town; but CIV

passing through the town and finally
plunging quite into the forest coun-

chosen a solitary spot for his repose.

Physioue of Young JAMS.

Rumors have been rife that the

are showing an upward tendency on

cause to justify the rumors.

BUTTON HOOK BALL.

An old croquet ball which has
served it's usefulness in the game
might still be of value to the handy
little girl who likes to make pretty
things for her room. After scrubbing
and drying the ball gild it with gold
paint. Then screw into it small
brass hooks, so that they will be in
line right around the large part OF
the ball. At the top fasten bow
of ribbon which has many loops that
cover the top of the ball. One loop
should be made longer than the rest
so that this button hook or key rack
might be suspended. In order to
have this rack match the color used in
the room select ribbon for it the same
shade as that used On other fancy

to the country for a week, and of
course our pet dog, Johnny, went

tricks. He can walk on his hind legs,

would rather do than go to Harvard
he lies down and pretends he is dead;
then, when we tell him he need not
go, he comes to life, sits up and cheers
for Princeton. One evening young
lady who was for Harvard was watch
ing him perform his tricks. After he
had died rather than go to Harvard, >,
she said: ooh, he will do it for any

HOW MIX SAVED THE HORSE.

Down on the next corner the people
keep a number of horses, and also
dog to keep watch over them. The
dogs name is Mix, and he sleeps in
the same barn with the horses. One
night last summer a fire started in the
barn, and the dog saw there was dan
ger and barked for help, but no help
came. After barking for some time
he jumped right through the window
and ran up TO the house. Barking
again he awoke his master. The
horses were all saved, but poor Mix
was badly cut with the glass. His
master cared for him day by day until
now he is a we'll dog.-Ethel Barrett,

ROMAN WEATHER In ENGLAND.
When the Romans did us the honor
of living in England they seem to
have enjoyed better weather than
their successors of to-day. For Mr..
Clement Reid assures us that the fig
and grape seeds which he has dug out
of Roman dust-heaps at Silchester,
Caerwent and Pevensey were the Off
spring of fig trees and vines that grew
on our native soil. Of the plants in
troduced by the Romans these ancient
dust-heaps reveal the pea, the null
berry, the apple; but the peach, the
apricot and the almond see Is are all
missing. The fact that all the fruits
and spices found are only such as
could be grown in Britain now seems
to show that the Romans were not
importers of fruit in the dried state,
and that the mulberry seeds repre-
sent a native growth. - Washington

ADVENTURE IN A

ADVENTURE IN A HOUSEBOAT.
One year we stayed out on our
houseboat much longer than usual.
AS the weather had continued warm,
we delayed going IN to shore and
stayed out in the middle of the bay.
One day there came up severe storm
and, as there were only women on
board, we were very uneasy. We be-
came more uneasy as the storm be-
came more severe and were continual
ly watching to see if the boat had
sprung leak. It was my turn to
take watch. Looking into the hull,
saw that it was fast filling with
water.
After gathering up few Of our
most precious possessions, we went on
the upper deck and called for help.
After while we saw q small row.
boat, manned by three men. Hearing
our cries, they had set out to save US
from a watery grave. We had a cat
on board and tried to get her, but
she spit at everybody who came near
her, thinking that she was going to
be thrown overheard. At last we sue
ceeded in getting her, and kept her
until we got into the rowbOat.
After we got a short way from the
houSeboat it sank. The wind was
blowing such gale that we were al
most upset. The waves tossed the
boat to and fro, but we finally arrived
1T the dredge that the men had como
from. The superintendent Invited as
