 Without babies, fathers and mothers would be out of a job and Roosevelt would be shorn of one of his pet hobbies.
 No home can be happy where there is unknown the batter of little feet, the artless prattle of baby tongues and and childhood's happy laugh that springs from innocent and care-free hearts.
 As some author has said, children are the link between heaven and man, and no home can be forever happy without these little cherubs those whose lips lisp the cute little things we like to tell the neigh bors.
 Babies are delicate little tendrils and easily bruised. Deal with them gently and carefully.
 Babies are the sunshine of life and no clouss should be allowed to come Ill and shut off the light.
 Childhood has no forebod- ings. The simple faith O f childhood would be worth much to many of maturer years.
 Children are human mirrors in which are reflected the con- ditions of the home.
 Babies are told so much nonsense that the wonder IS that they ever grow to an in- telligent citizen.
 A person that is a fit asso- ciate for his children need have no fear of hell.
 One who enjoys the com panionship of innocent Chil- dren cannot be wholly depra- ved nor irretrievably lost.
 The great agnostic, Inger- soil, was like the Savoir, in that he loved little children.
 Make home t Il e loafing place and playground of your children, and ten chances to to one the little feet that have tracked your floors with mud will not leave their footprints along the paths of vice and crime; the sweet faces of your  boys that have been such a | joy to you in their childhood will not adorn the rogue's gallery; the little hand that has so oft pressed to your lips will not push chips across a gamblers table, the chubby arms of your daughters that have so oft entwined your neck will not be employed to embrace a street rowdy and their lips will not be pressed to those befouled with obscene language, nor sip the wine that leads to shame.
 Babies are little human morning glories that spring from the soil of love, climb up the trellis-work of affection, entwine themselves about the hearts of the parents and send out the little fellers, the little clingers, that reach from one heart to the other, draw

BEGINNING OPERATIONS.

The train consisted beside the engine and the baggage car of two coaches, one a mixed baggage and passenger coach and the other a day coach. They began operations in the forward coach on Conductor Woodcock. One of the boys. with a gun in each trembling hand. covered the ear and the other cooler told the conductor to divest him. self of his wealth. When the conductor first saw the guns he supposed that the bandits were among the numerous deputy sheriffs who are just now pass ing over the line. Any suspicion he might have had of the serious intent of the youths was kept down by the time of the day and the place.
 When he was therefore told to hold up his hands he smiled. He was quick ly convinced that the young man was in earnest and he complied and also permitted a search of his pockets. In the hurry of the moment, the robber neglected the pocket in which the con- ductor carried the most of his money. so that yielded little revenue.

THE HUNT STARTS.

Crossing the bridge, the train stop ped and Section Foreman Morgan. with four Mexicans. all armed, started in pursuit They were not more than five minutes behind the robbers.
 A message was sent to Superintend- ent c. M. Scott. The robbery was briefly related along with description of the robbers. Mir Scott proceeded to the burning of wires. Messages were sent along the line so that all tram crews and officers on the main line might know but, first of all. he wired Mccarthy at Florence to go in his au- tomobile to Sacaton and have Agent Alexander turn out all his Indians to SCOUT the desert.
 Mir. Scott also began the organiza- ton of a posse from here to leave as soon as possible with horses that the trail of the bandits might be taken up early in the morning. such net was quickly thrown out that it did not seem possible that the robbers could escape.

THEY KNEW THE SIGNALS.

When the job had been completed the train was approaching the Gila crossing one of the robbers told Brakeman Sparks that since he al- ready had his hands up to reach little higher and pull the signal cord for an immediate stop. The brakeman complied to the extent of giving the cord two jerks. That signaled the en- gineer to stop at the next station The robber knew something about railroad signals and sternly ordered the brake man to give the cord three jerks which meant an immediate stop. We want to get off right here" said the robber.
 The brakeman might have stalled but just then an excited passenger be- gan jerking the cord and the train be- gan to slow down. The bandits jumped from the train and one of them. point ing his gun at the head of Engineer Goodrich. told him he needn't wait. The train went and the robbers ran down the track By that time some one had found gun and fire was opened on the bandits who fired three shots in re- turn and went on.

iT LOOKED LIKE HORSE PLAY.

This robbery took place at the mid- dle door of the mixed coach. In the passenger department of this coach were seated Attorney General Wright. beside Deputy Sheriff Ralph Sturgis of Gila county. who was on his way to Florence with couple of convicts. MT. Sturgis was reclining easily in his seat with his gun lying on the seat behind him He saw the play at the door and saw the conductor smile. At that time the robber was standing with his back to him and he could have shot him but he, too, thought it was a bit of horse play The robber with the trembling hands and the guns was at the rear of the coach unobserved.
 After the conductor had been robbed he could have given a warning but he realized that if shooting was started there would inevitably be loss of life of much more value that loss of property. The conductor was directed to stand still and the robber passed on.
 Mir Sturgis was not convinced that the thing was real until he had gun thrust into his face and he was di- rected to stand up. He was despoiled of SIT and his gun. Even his prisoners were made to hold up their shackled hands while the robber went through their pockets.

 The brakeman was whistling gaily about the work and when he had fin ished the rear car he threw the door of the next one open with an abandon that suggested that he might be a son of President Robert S. Lovett. He looked into the barrels of the two re- volvers in the hands of the trembling one.
 Hands up.' said the robber. Up they went Hold ;;oud f.and:. still. said the brakeman who declared after ward that he only feared that he would be shot by a nervous man.
