showed those working with him that he did not want either their help or advice, and as good judgment dictated it was withheld and he was allowed to follow his own pace.
 Then things began to happen. The fact that he was too small for the place he was attempting to fill became very o0vious to the head of the firm and the young mans troubles began. When som of his associates. as heads of de- partments, were called in consultation in the firms attempt to try to find why certain progress was not made. none of them attempted to show up" the inefficient youth. but each attempt ed to shield him. In a burst of anger the employer exclaimed, You needn't make excuses for him. I've been watch ing. He's incompetent, and I can't for give that"
 Any wonder this youth felt he was losing his grip. A position a little bet ter than the ones he had ever held be- fore had destroyed his mental equi- librium. and instead of accepting the help and counsel of those in a position to give both. he had elected to alien ate it from him and he failed where he had every chance to make a bril- liant success.

LOSING HIS GRIP

I'm losing my grip. I haven't the influence I had" Rather a sad dirge for a young man to begin to play. as one recently began to play it to me.
 Why was he losing his grip?
 He had come to a new concern high Iv recommended. He was industrious. He worked hard and patiently and he tried to make things go and to earn the good will of his employers by re- suits. Then why should he feel that he was not standing high with his em- ployers or with those associated with him?
 He had started in on branch of his particular wOrk,a little higher than he had ever attempted before. He was thrown in with associates who had stood by the concern through times of stress, persons who had given their loyalty and ability under circumstances which were particularly trying. Most of them had earned their positions in the business world through years of nerve-racking experience and of close application to the tasks of mastering the intricacies of their calling.
 They knew as soon as the new com CT got fairly started on his work that he was trying to swing job too big for him." but instead of endeavoring to spoil his chances. instead of trying to bring his delinquencies to the atten- tiOn of those in authority. they tried to help him overcome his deficiencies and to bring himself to such a state of proficiency that there would be mol question about his ability to fill his place.
 What did he do? Repay kindness with consideration and appreciation? Did he show the others that he was willing to accept their friendly offers?
 No. AS soon as he thought he was firmly seated in his place he began by all sorts of wiles and trickery to destroy the confidence of his employ CTS in those who had tried to help him. He assumed an attitude that clearly

THE GOLDEN HARP OF BABYLON

AdOwn the wanderings of the wind Ah long ago. how long ago; Where Bel and Ishtar were enshrined Was heard their musics throb and
 flow
 What time the vermelI sunset glow Upon the hanging gardens shone. Voicing the joyance and the woe, The golden harps of Babylon. And when the stars above were kind And the new moon silver bow. And torches, tossed and rose en-
 twined,
 The dancers footed to and fro. Still. still through aisle and poTtico Their maze of lyric rapture won Loud plaudits from the high and low. The golden harps of Babylon. Alas. the ways of fate were blind The ages come. the ages go; Where proud Belshazzar ruled we find The desert sand in eddies blow; Sooth. there are only shards tO show, Pale silence has her mantle spun; Through fancy only may we know The golden harps of Babylon.
 ENVOY. Masters. the seeds of song We SOW. The chords ye fondly play upon One day will futile seem as though The golden harps of Babylon Clinton Scollard. in New York Sun.

The Census.

The census bureau announced at noon yesterday the revised totals shown by the census of 1910.
 Uncle Sam. according to this count, has a continental family numbering 91,972, approximately 92,OOO,O people. Including Alaska and the island possessions, the total popula- ton is slightly over 1O1, ,OOO, ,OOO-the census bureau says it is about 1O1,- 100000.
 Of the states and territories which show a notable gain in population since the census of ten years ago. Arizona is among the foremost. The population of this territory in 1900 was 2,931. By the count of this year it is 1854, an increase of 662 per cent.
 Only four other subdivisions of the Union show a greater percentage of increase than Arizona: Idaho, wi;h 1913 per cent; Nevada, 934 per cent; Oklahoma. 1O9.7 per cent, and New Mexico, 67.5 per cent-and New Mex ico squeezes in ahead of us by barely 1 per cent
 And it is an interesting coincidence that in the census of 1900 but four other commonwealths were ahead of Arizona in the percentage of increase The census of ten years ago showed that during the period of 1890 to 1900 the population of Arizona increased 393 per cent. Idaho, with an in crease of S2.7 per cent; Montana, 7O.3 per cent; Oklahoma, 205.6 per cent, and Wyoming. with 47.9 per cent, were alone ahead of us in 1900. It is notable that but two states held their lead over Arizona: Oklahoma and Idaho.
 This is a showing of which Arizona is justly pro-d. We are cc.filcIt that the census ten years hence will again show Arizona among the lead CTS in the percentage of increase, for the industrial development of this wonderful commonwealth is only fair Ky begun.
 One of the facts as to the increase of Arizona's population is especially gratifying Foreign immigrants ac- count for comparatively small pro portion of our increased population. Our new population is made up of the very best Americans, who have come from every state.
 So far. Arizona has had no reason to look with apprehension on the enormous immigration to the United States from foreign countries. While a million foreigners-too many of them exceedingly undesirabIe-landi upon our shores every year, but few of them come to Arizona.

A 4RAGEDDY
How One Man Vas Injured, a
Other Man SCairt Most to
Death Trying to Kill a Deer

The law is now of on deer. In
other words the close season Is open
* in this connexshion we desire to
give a thrilling account Of almost a
trajeddy which took place in our very
midst last week before the law was of
about 10 a m. in which one man was
injured. another man scarf most TO
deth and eritter shot in the vitals
as you might say.
Hank Dewberry was the heroine Of
the traieddy. Hank hasn't had no
steddy Job lately on account Of his
roomytis and about all he has did is
to take a gun out into the woods and
hunt for squirrels. Last Wensday,
as ushual Hank he took his gun and
left Bingville about o'clock which
is a early start for Hank, thinkin he
would shoot s~squirl or two if possible
or more If he saw them. so Jest before
he got to Lem Sawyer's strip of woods
Hank he loadened up his gun witch was
that old muzzel loader he swapt off
bull pup to with Ranse Hillyer &
the pupp dide on Ranse's hands s.
Hank has had the gun ever sinst.
Well, after Hank had went into the
edge Of the woods he set down on a
log and waited to see if he could see
any squirls working amongst the oaks,
but he didn't see none and being as he
only got about p hours sleep the night
befoar Hank he gets drowsy and drops
off to sleep. He thinks he must Of
been sleep bout half hour when he
was woke up by something walkin
along the clearin at the edge of the
woods. Hank cooked his ear & lissend
and heard the twigs snap and cokt
his gun and waited.
He hadn't long TO wait until he got
glimpse of something through the
leaves which he was surprised to see
was a big buck deer. Hank could see
a part of the deer's side, but that was
all. He knowd the law wasn't of on
deers and wouldn't be for a few DAVIS
but Hank he thought Il over and he
made up his mind that he mightn't
get q chance TO shoot deer again In
coon's age and he made up his mind
he'd take a crack at that buck law or
no law. Hank says to hisself, "ITl
probably miss the critter anyhow and
there wont be no harm did," so he
took careful aim throsgh the brush
at the deer's side and puld the trigger.
There was a loud report, and befoor
the smoke OF battle had cleared away.

Being as this is the first Of Oct,
we are a going to write editorial
on Autumn-its cause and effeckt.
This is a good subjeckt for a
editorial, and we are glad we
thought about it.
Autumn is something which
comes every year about this time,
sometimes it is earlier and some
times it is later, but it never
misses. What would fall be if
there was no autumn? We answer
that it would be a failure.
Some great writer once, but
his name has slipt our memory
for the present, wrote the follering
about autumn
The melancholy days has come
The saddest Of the year,
Wich makes a person awful blue
And feel all out of gear.
Whether or not autumn is mel
ancolly depends on how you look
at it. Some peepu1 might think
it is melancholy, but as for us we
don't-if a man amt got his
winter wood cut, nor his potatoes
dug, and his crops has failed then
no wonder he feels melancholy and
we don't blame him, but if things
all turn out right then autumn amt
SIGH a bad time Of year, after all.
We guess it was Shakespeer who
got off the follering sonnit about
autumn, viz, to wit:
When the frost is on the pumpkin
And the folders In the shock
And the half-froze bee is buzzin'
Round the apple butter crock.
Now that's what we call poetry.
Miss Sally Hoskins, who is our
local poet and pome writer, could
Mt do no better than that f she'd
try, although Sally has wrote out
some turrible Mise peeces about
autumn, some of which has been
published in the Bugle. Sally is
at present working on another fall
pome which we hope she will let
us print in the Bugle perviding she
gets it done before spring.
Autumn should remind us all
that winter is near. The summer
has went and it won't be long
until the family circle will be clust-
cred around the fireplace roastin'
their shins with their backs cold
as a dead fish. But what do we
care. Let winter come. Let the
snow fly and the slay bells Jingle.
We have past through a good
many hard winters and We CAL
kilate we can stand another ono.

a charge Of squirt shot into Lem Saw
yer and LENS off OK. Peter, which was
drivin 70 drag down along to his
wood lot for load Of wood.
When Hank come out Lem was roll
ling on the ground and scratchin hisself
20 beat the nashion and the old OK
Peter was kckin in the yoke and
bellerin.
What the tarnashion was you
shootin' at" says Lem when he seen
Hank.
Hank told Lem he thought the OK
was a deer and Lem said he'd better
be almighty keerful when he shot at
deer after this, becus if he ever shot
him again he'd have the law on him.
Hank helped Lem on the drag and
driv the oxes back TO the barn and got
Lem 20 bed in his own house and then
sent for Doc Livermore. Doe re-
sponded promptly about shutdown and
when ne examined Lem he caldlated
he would haft 10 perform q operashion
at once to remove the shot. SO he went
70 wosk with knife and a screw
driver. After Doc had eouged out
two shot, Lem askt him how mepnv
more they was and Doc said about 80,
and then en- told Dor he o,,AcsA6
he'd got enuf out. being as he had
made up his mind the shot would feel
better inside OF him than out, so Doc
returned home. The OK will recover.
The moral Of this peece is that peepul
ought 10 be more careful when they
shoot at a deer.
