Is, and his voice was in the transition
stage which made him blushingly self
conscious when he ran up the window
shade In the Pullman to watch for the
earliest morning outlining of old Leb-
anon on the southern horizon.
Homesickness returned with renewed
qualms when the train had doubled the
nose OF Lebanon and threaded Its way
among the hills to the Paradise por-
tai. Gordonia, of the single side-track,
had grown into small iron town, with
the Chiawassee plant fianking good
half-mile of the railway; with Gin
derry street or two, and scummy wave
of operatives cottages and laborers'
shacks spreading up the hillsides which
were stripped bare Of their trees and
underground.
Toms eyes filled, and he was won
dering family If the desolating tide Of
progress had topped the hills to pour
over into the home valley beyond. when
his father accosted him. There was
little shock at the sight Of the grizzlcd
hair and beard turned so much grayer;
but the welcoming was like grateful
draft Of cool water in parched wilder
ness.
Well now then! How are We, Bud
dy boy? Great land o. Canaan! but
you've shot up and thickened out
nightly in two years, SON.
Tom was painfully conscious Of his
size. Also Of the fact that he was
clumsily in his own way, particularly
as to hands and feet The sectarian
school dwelt lightly on athletics and
such purely mundane triviaiities as
physical fitness and the Harmonious
education OF, the growing body ana
limbs.

cracked provokingly in the middle Of
it. Then he asked about his mother.
She's tolerable-only tolerable, Bud.

to keep her dom in the new" Ca
leb pulled himself up abruptly and
changed the subject with a ponderous
attempt at levity. "What-all have you
done with your trunk check, son? Now
I'll bet hen worth fifty dollars we've
gone and lost it."
But Tom had not: and when the lug.
gage was found there was another In
novation to buffet him. The old buggy
with its high seat had vanished, and
in its room there was modern surrey
and negro driver. Tom looked ask
ance at the new equipage.
Cant we make out to walk, pappy p
he asked. dropping unconsciously into
the child time phrase.
"Oh. yes; reckon we could. You're
not too young, and I'm not so terri ole
old. But-get in. Buddy, get In; therell

HUGH CAMPBELL'S
 NARROW ESCAPE

Hugh Campbell, fair commits sioner and big woolgrower. of Flag staff. was a business visitor in the city the first of the week. MT. Campbell met with an accident a few days since and it came near being very serious one for him. While driving through Copper can yon en route to Camp Verde, he narrowly escaped being killed in a runaway.
 At the steepest point in the road the keeper of the neckyoke broke. which liberated the pole of the wagon. Instantly the team started and although Campbell is a strong man, his efforts to check the horses were futile.
 They broke from the harness, and the pole also broke from the body of the wagon. He was thrown into the canyon below and received over a dozen gashes on the face and head.
 Strange as it may seem, the ami mals did not run far but remained within a few hundred feet of the scene. The wagon was found about half way down the grade. and outside of the loss of the pole, was intact.
 Campbell stated that he consid cred himself lucky, considering the place where the accident occurred and the unusual circumstances.

Bishop Hughes responded in his forceful, characteristic way. The Bishop said in part Whenever Methodist preacher comes to town every saloon keeper has an enemy to his business. No boy will fill a drunkard's grave or no girl will suffer the terrors of drunkard's wife if Methodism ca prevent it."
 "Methodism stands for liberty. We gave nearly one half of our best blood that the African might become free man." In hearty way he thanked the good people of Williams for opening their homes so royalty to the conference.

THE ARIZONA
 TERRITORIAL FAIR

 Arizona never had so great an op- portunity as they will have on Nov. 9th at the Arizona Territorial Fair.
 On this date visitors to the fair will see the five fastest and most famous harness horses in the world and will see race between four of the most famous harness horses now in training. Minor Heir, 1:5S4, Hedgewood Boy POI, Lady Maud C. 2:24, George Gano 2:O24.
 This remarkable stable is headed by Dan Patch champion of cham pions and holder of seven worlds records. These horses are owned by M. w. Savage of Minneapolis, and represent a money value of nearly half million dollars. To- gether they form an aggregation such as has never before been gathered together in the history of the harness world. .
 Dan Patch is known every where as the greatest, gamest and most intelligent animal that ever looked through a bridle. He will be on exhibition and ll:hold reception in specially fitted up quarters and in addition will be exhibited, on the track and in front of the grand stand where in his magni6cient paraphernalia he will act as master of ceremony over the performances of his wonderful stable mates. The race between Minor Heir, Hedgewood Boy, Lady Maud c and George Gano will be fight for the race champonship of the world. It will be an extreme test of speed and will be struggle from wire to wire. The horse that wins will be the best horse. He will be the horse that speed and experience and disposition have made the most wonderful racing machine ever known.
 The fair association will appoint at least two of the drivers and this insures a struggle such as has never been seen before on any racetrack. Each one of these horses has won hard fought victories on many tracks. Each horse knows almost as well as his driver what is ex. pected of him. Each horse has thousands of admirers who believe that he can beat any other horse that lives. The result of this con test will be watched with the great est interest Men are already be- ginning to back their choice with hard earned cash. Which horse will win is a question discussed everywhere that men take interest in horses.
 Minor Heir should naturally be the favorite as he holds the present track record for a mile in a race. This mark was made in 1908 when he beat George Gano in 2:024 George Gano however, has i'm proved and will make the great son of Heir-in law pace miles of history if he wins.
 Hedgewood Boy is in better form than ever before in his life and is picked by many to win the race. while the best experts smile know ingly whenever Lady Maud C's name is mentioned.
 To pick the winner in this race seems to the unbiased critic to be an almost hopeless task. Any one of the four may win. Which ever one wins the race will be one of the greatest struggles ever witnessed | h1, o,ox-N
