By O. H. Heyneman

TWAS a pretty young kid when the
late Chief of Police Isaiah w. Lees,
then captain of detectives, made me
his private secretary. The chief
was at that time past three score
years, but acted and looked like a
man in the very prime Of life. Being
young and observant, and thrown con-
stantly with him, day and night, for a
: period Of 10 years, l learned both to
know and love him.
To describe his characteristics would
be will nigh impossible. There were
as many different phases to his char
acter as there are colors in the rain
COW. Ellis methods of deduction and
ferreting crime were so startling and
original as to create open mouthed
wonder. Rough, uaccuth. perhaps even
brutal at times, when absorbed in
some strenuous criminal problem,
there were moments when he became
as pliable and lovable as child at
play. A man of practically no school
ing, self-made, well read, book lover,
a marvellous reader of human nature,
he possessed one of the keenest and
mos wonderful brains with which l
have ever come in contact.

hundreds of excited citizens vainly at

ARMAD|lLO HAS STRANGE
 ENCOUNTER WITH ROOSTER
An Almost Unbelievable Tale Told of
 haffner's Odd Pet.

: Theodore Haffner and family moved ! to their ranch yesterday and left the ! Ford hotel to the new management. MT. Haffner took with him Jock" the armadillo that formerly created amusement for the Ford hotel guests. Jock was temporarily placed in the
 chicken coop till better quarters ar e made for him. He got into trouble almost at once. The chickens eyed him with displeasure and occasionally took peck at his boiler plate. The armadillo didn't even feel the pecks
 and went on picking up bugs with his
 long slender tongue that looks just like
 watch spring unwound. He rambled about the coop in search of game and
 finally without malice or forethought approached the big Minorca rooster
 The rooster had his eye on a mealy
 bug and so had Jock. The Minorca's attention was distracted from the bug as the armadillo bore down on him like a toy battle ship on four legs.
 Suddenly Jock shot out his long slim tongue-eight inches of it-and nailed the mealy bug on the end. The roos- ter saw this slender. writhing tongue and said to himself, An. ha, an angle worm. and out of the season at that," So he at once seized on the delicacy-- his end of it-and swallowed it in gulps. Then the rooster found himself face to face with the armadillo
 Jock looked the rooster in the eye and made a low, whining noise. The rooster returned the look and would not let go. He could not let go for he had swallowed most of it As he could not bite it off or swallow the arIra- dillo he just glared and Jock glared back.
 MT. Haffner was attracted by the scuffle in the chicken yard and opened the gate and went in. At first he did not quite realize just what had hap pened, but presently he saw about an inch of tongue that the rooseter had not swallowed and that bound the two together
 1t is with deep reluctance that the conclusion of this sad tale is chron- icled. for some might think that the halo of Ananias and the medals of Baron Munchausen had passed to [ worthy citizen of Phoenix
 Mir. Haffner had no desire to am putate his pets lingual apparatus. SO he hurried back into the house and quickly returned with a small can of Cayenne pepper.

OR. ELIOT AND THE DIRECT
 PRIMARY.

In the face of all the plaudits of the populace. the general assertion that di- rect primaries have transferred back to the people the powers taken from them by the bosses. Dr. Charles w Elliot. formerly president of Harvard has come out flatly with the statement that the new system is expensive and absolutely futile.
 Dr. Eliot points out that the direct primaries virtually call for two cleo tions to carry the candidate into of- flee. This simply doubles the trouble of the voter. It is hard enough to in- duce the average citizen to go, to the voting booth once without increasing the burden. Incidentally, the cost is doubled
 The real object of the primary cleo tons was to take the nominating power from the hands of the bosses. The city boss had become a remarkable

The 'inde- pendent" voter. never too ready to run to the polls. now remained even more obstinately in his home. because the work Of voting was doubled. So the bosses had things their own way.

THE MAKING OF AN AMERICAN

1 It is a matter of everyday observa- ton that the first generation born oi 1 foreign stock upon our soil shows ar
 extraordinary change in manners and appearance. Perhaps the change in l dress accounts for a good deal of the
 alteration, and the American speech
 and slang. so readily acquired by chill dren born here, count for much. But
 some change in features and express
 sion is usually to be noticed; and not
 infrequently the alien nationality
 seems wholly lost, save as a remote
 suggestion.
 All these rough impressions are now in a measure confirmed by the recent report of the immigration commission.
 The statistics apply to too small an
 area of investigation to warrant con-
 elusive findings, but as a tentative
 generalization the report is of striking
 interest. The investigation has been conducted under the supervision of
 Professor Franz Boas of Columbia university. and has been confined to this city, and to two types of aliens. Siciiians and East European Hebrews. The summary of the conclusions in dicated is as follows:
 American environment can. of course, exert only a slight influence upon the adult arriving in this coun- try; and even the child arriving on our shores is not very much modified in it's development. The investigations have. however. given the entirely un- expected result that the descendant of the immigrant radically changed his type. It is shown that the American- born children of the long-headed Si- cilians and those of the round- headed East European Hebrews have very nearly the same intermediate head form. The children of the long-head- ed Sicilians are more round -headed. the children of the round headed He brews are more long, headed than their parents. Similar changes are traced in the development of the faces of these types
 All this is an interesting and sur prising discovery. Especially is the alteration in the type of head note worthy. Professor Boas goes on to remark that these changes appear in children born almost immediately aft CT the arrival of immigrants and that thereafter the change in type takes place much more slowly. Thus. the conclusion is that the generation born upon American soil. even to parents but newly arrived. displays a marked in type
 As is indicated in the report itself, | caution must be used in dealing with | these conclusions until they are con firmed by more extensive investiga- ! tions. Furthermore. the scope of in- quiry may well be extended into other ' lines of the crossing of races. | all of which matter will have a sig nficant bearing upon the whole prob | lem of assimilation. These prelim- | nary figures. however. are an ex- ceedingiy welcome contribution to the | scientific study of one of the most | as it is one of the most vital. | problems of the nation-New York | Evening Sun |

4 SPECIAL BARGAIN
 IN OSTRICH FEATHERS
From the Big Curio's New and Much
 Larger Stock.

It will be remembered that at the close of the holiday trading season the ostrich feather stock of Balke's Big CuriO store had been all but demol- ished: so nearly so that what remain ed of it was sold at. sacrifice in or der that this department of the Big Curio store might start entirely over again. It has done so; the ostrich plume stock has been replenished, There is a larger stock than ever. Only black and white plumes are kept but arrangements have been made so that plumes of any color may be made up within twenU-four hours. It is only necessary for those desiring col pred feathers to bring the article which they wish to match and it will be done.
 The stock of the Big Curio store consists entirely of native grown feath- CTS and all of them are made up here except the willow plumes. of which there is fall stock. They are hand tied and are therefore guaranteed to last as long as other plumes. Willow plurnes have fallen into disrepute on account of the sloyenly work in the preparation and in consequence some of them have hardly lasted a season. Those of the Big Curio store are guar anteed and purchasers of these plumes as well as on all others will be saved one-third of the price they would have to pay elsewhere.
 The Big Curio store has made this special feather offer which will be good for only one week: A beautiful 5r, acrfh from ten to twelve inches wide will be sold for SIG. but not more than one to the same person.
