that the shop in which Edwin Forest

Bakers were importers of German
goods, and the elder member of the
firm sadly shook his head at his
young clerk, who was accustomed to
pass more time in the company of a
play book than he was in his duties. It

SIX HUSBANDS, AND ONLY 30.
And Unless Present Spouse Reforms,
 Mrs. White May Seek a Seventh.

Il am going to do my wifely duty by Bill White, and secure his release from the workhouse. If, after he gets out, he don't treat me with more consideration, l am going to leave him and eventually secure a divorce. and try to find a soul mate. which have thus far failed to do. not withstanding that my present mar riage is my sixth.'
 This unique statement was made by Mrs. White, who says she is re- lated to a former president of the United States. when asked how she was endeavoring to secure the release of her husband. William G. White, proprietor of Turkish bath. who was recently sentenced to the workhouse for six months for beating his wife.
 From recent developments it ap- pears as though White may have to serve his term. and in addition face other charges on his release
 Last week Assistant District Attor- ney Ralph Given was asked by a New York woman to issue a warrant for the arrest of White on the charge of bigamy, saying she was married to White twenty years ago and is the mother of his eight children MT. Given informed her he was powerless to act, inasmuch as the marriage ceremony to the present Mrs White was performed in Baltimore. The woman who claims to be wife No 1 threatens to visit Baltimore and lay the matter before the district attorney there, and in the meantime wife No. is doing her utmost to secure Whites release from the workhouse.
 Mrs. White said to be No. 2. in continuing her story, said: T cer- tainly drew a half dozen lemons in the matrimonial orchard.

The Republicans synopsis of the | speech of Rev. J. F.. Crutchfield, one of the delegates from this county in the constitutional convention. was a misconstruction of his remarks as is shown by the notes of the steno- grapher.
 It is quite difficult for the re- porters in the gallery, on account Of the confusion on the floor. as well as the confusion which some times reigns in the gallery. to hear distinctly what is said on the floor
 The language of MT. Crutchfield. regarding the instructions given the MaricOpa county delegates. follows:
 As l understand the platform on which l ran as a delegate from Maricopa county our instructions were explicit and plain. It read something like this: That we should make it mandatory on the legislature to pass a suitable Recall measure ] think that in their expression there was not the shadow of doubt as to the purpose of the people. They elected us by large majorities. upon this platform. and l do not be- lieve our pledges would be carried out by separate submission of the question.

It may be that I am influenced in this by an entire indifference as to po- litical fortunes personally, but I be- lieve We should use our judgment as to policy. and the instructions of our people in reference to the principles are explicit and plain"

High School Notes.
(By Principal A. L. Pearca.

Some weeks ago the science notebooks
were sent to the state department of edu-
cation for inspection. The work OF the
school must not merely meet the approval
of the high school faculty. but of the state
authorities as well. Our graduates Of this
year are approved by the state school
officials
Although the weather is very warm the
manual training boys have worked with
great zeal and perseverance. This is one
great lesson the boys have gotten from
the manual training work: that they must
persevere and hold on to a task if they
wish to succeed. They realize more than
they did before the value of close applica-
ton We all know it takes grit and per-
severance to meet the problems in life
after school days are over so why not
give the boy broader education so he
will be prepared to meet such problems.
Not only is the boy benefited in this way.
but in the manual training shop he is
forced to apply much which he has learned
in other classes. What good is it for
boy to be able to deal with numbers if he
can not make practical application of
what he knows? 1t is one thing to know
how to do task, but an entirely different
thing to do it and do it well. 1t is the
purpose of manual training to teach him
this
Passing further into the subject, a
knowledge of the different trees of the
state is gained A study is made of the
different kinds of grains and the finishing
of same. The experience in the care and
use of the tools alone is of great value to
the boy, even though he does not intend
to become a master mechanic. He will
in time wish to use some of these tools.
Had he not as well learn this at school as
to learn where the battle of Bull Run was
fought or where Washington spent the
winter, which he will never have any use
for? The purpose of our educational sys-
TEN is to prepare the boy Or girl for life
and its work. Everything which will aid
in doing this is of value educationalIy
Next year more boys should come to the
| high school so as to take advantage oi
this work.
