DAILY NEWS MEANS
OF REUNlTlNG FRIENDS

It is the disposition of human na-,
ture, more or less, to cry down or
.undervalue its own. not because of
anything inherently unkind, but rath-
er that Familiarity has a leveling
tendency, and so the Daily News
sometimes comes in for its share of
criticism and Il never have-time-to-
read-it' talk.
Several good stories have been told
the past season which proved the
value of the Daily News. as an adver-
tising medium. but on last Saturday
night it stood for something more
in bringing together friends long
separated; friends, who, but for it,
must have passed as "ships in the
night" without so much as a signal
from each to each.
Here is the story: Mr.. and Mrs.
! G. w. Boston, of Lewis, Ind, arriv-
ed III Daytona late Saturday night
| and were accommodated in one of the
many boarding houses Of the town
! Mr.. Boston, who is here with his
wife on account of her health, chanc
d to pick up a copy of the Daily
News OF Thursdays issue, and the
first item his eyes rested upon was
the obituary notice on the death oi
O. A Hitch, a first cousin OF Mrs
! Boston, and dearly beloved by botf
of them. Mr.. and Mrs. Boston hat
lost sight of Mr.. Hitch and famil!
/ since their removal to Florida, fac
they both regretted, more especlall!
after they decided to come to Florida
Imagine their surprise, their dee
regret and satisfaction to find that
while they had lost their friend an
relative they could at least enJo
and be a comfort to his family. The,
lost no time Sunday morning in flno
ing the Hitch home, and are now es
tabIished with the family for sever
al months which they will spend /
the South.

SUSPECTED MURDERER
 DETAINED FOR AWHILE
The Supposed Slayer Of Bustos at
 Ash Fork.

The sheriff's office thought they had murderer yesterday afternoon, one Moreno who fatally shot a com panion, Bustos at Ash Fork on the night of August F at Ash Fork. Bustos died the following night at the county hospital at Prescott.
 Sheriff Smith of Yavapai county sent out circulars describing him, in every direction and one reached the office of the sheriff here last week Ever since then the local of ficers have been on the lookout for a Mexican that looked like Moreno.
 Yesterday afternoon they found one. He not only resombled the fugitive in every point that had been described but moreover. he looked as if he could kill a man and not worry about it afterWard.
 As soon as he was arrested the of flee of the sheriff at Prescott was communicated with with the result that 1t was ascertained that the man in custody was not Moreno. Not withstanding, it was judged that a man of his appearance must be wanted somewhere for something. there was nothing for which to hold him and he was discharged.

MANAGER ALVORD'S NINE
 GETS \ CHALLENGE
Points Past Victories.

Present prospects would indicate that Billy Alvord's path is strewn with roses and daffodis He and his baseball nine have met with nothing but encouragement and financial con tributions since he started in a week ago tO organize a bunch of ball play CTS that are really going to clean up everything in the neighborhood That iswhat they say and it really looks that way.
 After spending day or SD visiting the merchants who used to play ball when they were boys and who still like to watch the old game. C. K. PishOn, president of the baseball association and Manager Alvord gathered in about $500 for the use of the nine The money will be expended in purchasing suits, bats and balls, etc All contri- buttons were turned over to Henry BasWitZ, the treasurer. The boys need about another hundred and then there will be some real baseball.
 Practice continues each day Dyer, the young pitcher from Washington, is showing up in fine form. He losses a pill that starts out easy-like and gathers speed as it goes. Those who have tried to bat it say it is rather puZzling like trying to hit a jack rabbit on the jump. The other play CTS are getting that get-to-g -gether spirit and with a few more days Of practise play ball will be the word.
 The first acceptance to Manager All worlds challenge to any nine in the ter ritOry comes from Florence From theI letter received yesterday the FlorenceI boys seem to think their confidenceI has been betrayed. They write that the Maroons of Phoenix, or some of them. played there saturday and onlyI got one hit. They don't seem to think the Maroons are quite in their class and they want a real ball team to come over.
 The letter in part is 2s follows:
 Florence, Aug. 2$
 MT Alvord-I note in Mondays Re- publican that you are rejuvenating thel ball team and would like to hear from outside towns.
 We have a pretty nifty bunch of ball players here and would like to ar range for a game in Phoenix about a | week from Sunday. We were tO play ! the Maroons of Phoenix here yester- ] day, and a team did come over but I without three of their best players ! What We did to them will probably | teach them lesson.

THE GOOD GREEN CANOPY.
Half an Acre the Health Breathing Surface Of the Leaves on
 Large Tree.

The fact is, tree is built up far more by the sun and the atmosphere than it is by the soil from which it grows In the delicate structure of the leaf, which, upon close examination, we will see is composed of a complicated network of nerve-like veins. carbonic acid gas is broken upon into carbon. which is retained by the tree to form it's woody structure. and into oxygen. which is libera q and passes into the atmosphere. Each leaf, therefore, is a builder and an air-regulator of na ture which is beneficial to us. Its ca pacity for heat and sunshine is some thing astonishing. l have estimated that a certain sugar maple of large proportions, which grows near my cot taSe puts forth in one season about four hundred and thirty-two thousand leaves; these leaves combined present a surface to sunlight of about twenty one thousand six hundred square feet. or an area equal to pretty nearly half an acre Every inch of this expanse breaths in life for the tree, and out health for man. while it absOrbs in the aggregate an enormous amount of heat and unlight. In the time of rain it also holds the moisture, and allows it to evapOrate by slow degrees when hot days return. The forests are vast spOnges which through the agency of leaves, soak up the beneficient rain drops and compel them to pass slow ly through shaded channels to the parched lands beyond. It is indeed quite impossible to Overestimate the value of the billions and billions of leaves which work and build for the benefit of humanity. Only 40 per cent of a tree is utilized by the wOOdsman; the pity of it is that the waste is so pitifully out of proportion to the gain. I do not say that a waste of leaves is a very serious loss, but I do say that the wantOn destruction of more than half the tree with it's thousand of leaf workers, is inexcusably careless From Familiar Trees" by F. Schuyler Mathews.
