men were sadly in need of clothes and some were sick. On overhear- ing the remarks Mrs. Steele, so his- tory goes, brought forth her savings of many years and presented them to the general saying that he should take them and use them for the needs of his men. He accepted the money, which was in one bag of gold and silver. This one act made Mrs. Steele a hero in eof the war. Other incidents in the life of the remarkable lady also shows her spriit in the grand cause. At the time of the battle of Cowpens her home was hospital for the injured soldiers. In this battle countless numbers were injured. They were brought into her home and cared for, she personally waiting upon them and administering to their wants. Tn re- gard to the money incident it is told that Mrs. Steele said she had been sav- ing the money for old age, during her prosperous years in the inn business, but willingly gave it up for the com- fort of the brave soldiers.
 Many of the members of John Me- Almont Chapter attended the contest and all were highly pleased with the papers of the contestants.
 The judges for the contest were Dr. J. Norris, Dr. J. L. Caldwell and Hugh Fox

 What is the character of this in stitution, which has so strongly com mended itself to governments, to great railway corporations and to good citizens everywhere, and what las it done to be trusted with respon- sibility and with money freely and gladly given by rich and poor alike. While it is benefieient public in- stitution it is not charitable insti- tuition in the ordinary sense It is not narrowly sectarian, but genuinely and liberally Christian in purpose and m operation. To illustrate, tht number of members of the Associa- tion in the city of Chicago who arc ndherents of the Roman Catholic faith is greater than the number of Protest ants. The question of creed or faith or dogma has nothing to do with en- toying the privileges of this associa- ton. The privileges of the institu- ton are offered to all men who broadly come within the general clas- s1f1catlon of law abiding self-respect- ing citizens. It is unique in that it offers to such men the advantages of home and a club combined, place to live in a wholesome, healthful, helpful environment, which makes it easier for men who are obliged to live far distant from the restraining Influence of a family life, to do right than to do wrong; which, in brief, provides for their moral wellbeing physically. mentally, and morally.
 ''The Money that is invested here is invested well' are the words of President Taft when he opened the 6oors of the new Memphis building, thereafter to remain open day and night He further said on that oc- casion: T do not know of opportun- ities for the investment of money that can afford safer and larger return to those who in their investment would help their fellow men. I am glad to see the construction of such buld- ings going on the country over. It indicates that while we as nation are pursuing the almighty dollar there is growing an altruism and a desire to develop the character in the individual, and to offer an equality of opportunity to everyone.

HARD GAME COMING.

The Mesa high school is now pos itively in the lead for The Republican trophy. with an advantage of fifty points over the nearest competitor, the Tempe normal. The game Saturday afternoon, was easy enough for Mesa. It is stated that when Williams once saw that he had the Tempe boys on the run, he kept them going very nice iy with straight balls such as our fath- CTS used to pitch. But every player on the Mesa team is on edge for to- morrow's game with the Indians The latter are mighty good in every de- partment of the game and especially strong in base running. The Mesa team considers the Indians really more formidable foes than the normal. and will accordingly take no chances of a defeat. Ii is believed that the crowd at tomorrow's game, the last of the series which the Mesa team will play at home. will be a record breaker With practically all the stores closed at noon and nearly every one enjoying d holiday. it is easy to see why a far larger attendance than usual will be on hand

DIABETES

It was not easy for us to believe that Diabetes is curabIe. but the first case we came in personal touch with was astonishingly convincing
 We were considering the purchase of Fulton's Compounds and were look ing for cases to try them out on. One of our number knew Charles A. New ton. the yardmaster of the s. P. R. R. Co. at SacramentO-a very worthy man He also knew that Newton had Diabetes and was Tn hospital in the Capital City, and that his recovery seemed impossible when he last heard from him. A letter was written to Newton that Fulton claimed his Dia- betes Compound cured Diabetes and that he wanted to know from OUR friends if this was so, and that if he tNewtonD would take it that we would send him supply of it. Newton re- piled to the effect that some four or five months before we wrote him he had heard about the compound. had taken il. that the sugar was nearly out and he was almost well. His complete recovery followed. and he told an s. P. engineer who had Dia- betes and he recovered.
 We also saw Gen. Theo. Reichert of San Francisco go on this treatment and get complete recovery after physicians had declared that the case was hopeless. Gen. Reichert is a 33rd degree Mason and IS one of San Fran ciscos most widely and favorably known citizens
 We have seen hundreds recover since and there is no longer any ques- tion about Diabetes in people of mid dle age and over being curable.
 For free literature. address John J. Fulton Co. 6i5 Battery St. San Fran cisco. Cal.
 Fulton's Diabetes Compound can be had in your city at all first class druggists.
 We desire all patients to write us who are not noting the usual improve ment by the third week.

Real Estate Firms Profuse Reply to Wisconsin Inquiry Concerning .s
 Drinking Water.

Reference was made a day or two ago to a letter received by one of the local real estate firms from a man in Wisconsin, which letter contained a brief but very direct question regard ing the drinking water in this locality and a casual reference to ice, the ready inference being that even water of rather poor quality could be rendtJed passabN drinkable by fhe copiouS' 'Fe- rrigeratiOn.
 The real estate people recognized their opportunity and seized it before it had t chance to get away They framed up a reply which was q thing "f art m is way.

Dodge As Faust
 Was At His Best
The Appearance at the Normal This Evening of the Company in
 "The Merchant of Venice"

In the selection of Faust" as the play for Saturday evening which was presented under the auspices of the High School Athletic Association. at the Goodwin Opera House. Mir. Dodge displayed excellent judgment. Of the three plays presented by this eX- cellent company in Tempe during its present engagement, Faust was probably the most pleasing to the general public There were pos sibly a few who more highly regard something on the tragic style of "Othell0" or Nero, the Gladiator" but the younger class of people found more favor in Faust" The Dodge interpretation of this well known and popular play is decidedly credit able one. Though none of it's se- rious phases are overlooked. much good humor is interspersed.
 As the flippant, but at the same time cynical character of "Mephisto." Mr. Dodge was at his best The play as a whole was d most pleasing one. and the electrical and other effects produced on the small stage were marvels of theatrical ingenuity
 The attendance was fine: the house was almost sold out and the company the opera house management and the athletic association all profited nicely by the venture.
 The announcement by MT. Dodge that this evening his company would appear at the new Normal auditorium in "The Merchant of Venice" was greeted with great applause. With the splendid stage and equipment of the new auditorium and the special scenery and costumes carried by the company. the play tonight will doubt less be the best of the four.

ALI LIGHT ATTACKS.

. Some alarm was felt a few days ago when it was reported that eight cases of smallpox had been discovered at Strinstown. and when the report was verified it furnished an additional req son for continuing the quarantine still in effect in Mesa. Fortunately how ever, all of the cases have proved to be mild forms of the disease. and most Of those attacked are already able to be out. The Spain home where the disease was most prominent. has been fumigated. No new cases have devel- oped recently
