COIOred Man
 With a Razor

Winslow, Ariz., July .n5LAbout 100 o'clock Sunday morning some of our cit izens were awakened from their slum- -bers by pistol shots. Later twas learn ed that the pistol shots came from the redlight district Investigation brought to light the fact that Dave Hosen, a colored man, working in the round house or ma chine shops, was visiting the tenderloin
 strict that night and that he called oae of the denizens of the place to the door.
 That when the ebony-hued damsel join ed him at the door, Hosea forthwith drew a razor and thereby began slashing.
 That he. cut the swoman's throat, nearly cutting the ijugular vein, and though not necessarily fatal, was very nasty and blood letting wound, requiring a good many stitches to close.
 The frantic screams of the woman soon brought Night Marshal B. F. Ketchem to the spot. The assailant, thinking dis erection. the better part of valor took to his heels.
 The marshal called a halt, but the darky evidently didn't see it that way and therefore put himself through the paces accordingly.
 The marshal fired two shots, the sec ond of which brought down his man, with a bullet through the fleshy portion of his thigh, ranginging downward and coming out of the front part of the lower limb.
 Both the injured parties are getting along nicely. The man languishes in jail, awaitingi the action of the grand jury. Hosea evidently didn't know the marshars name was Ketchem, otherwise he wouldn't have attempted to escape.

Our Three FoIIies
(From Daily Examiner)

A wise Yuma woman astonished the Examirer Saturday afternoon when she said that three follfes of man had always amused her.
 The first was climbing trees to shake the fruit down, when if they would wait long enough the fruit would fall itself.
 The second was going to war to kill one another when if they waited they would die natural death.
 The. third was why they should run after women, when if they did not do so, the women would be sure to run after them.

AN OLD Time
THANKSGIVING

An aged lady recently contributed to
the Brooklyn Citizen this description
of a New England Thanksgiving three
quarters of II century ago, when life
was simpler and suncr than today:
The house was cleaned from the
roof to the cellar the week before, as
Thanksgiving In New England was a
greater holiday than Christmas or New
Years and it must be observed by
everybody. The house was full OF nice
Odors. One day 1t was mince pie ana
fried cakes. then 1t would be sweet
pickles and election cake. then pump
kin pies-my sister Persis counted ten
ill., row then plum pudding and
Wednesday night chicken pie that
would almost crowd the top of the
oven and would come Oh to the table

every Sunday till the next year. 1t
held the plumpest chickens and sweet
apple quarters that had been half
dried, and the meat and gravy were
sweet as the apples, and spices and
other goodies, and all in large milk
pan, with a f1aky crust at top and bot
tom a quarter of an inch thick.
To make that crust Persis and had

tie and gather up the ashes, aud moth

strained the liquid and stirred it into
some buttermilk. and that made 1t bub-
BILE and fzzie Just as soda nowadays.
Thursday morning we were up bright
and early. ard mother read chapter
in the Bible. Then we all stood up
while father prayed for us. and l felt
almost like crying. 1t was so solemn,
but forgot all over the nice breakfast
and the walk of mile to the church
and the music and the return at noon
to dinner smoking hot on the table.
Mother had arranged a party for us
that evening. but we could not wait
for that, so our sleds were brought
out, ond we climbed the long hills with
N group of girls and boys and seated
ourselves, letting one boy ride with us
on each SIDE to steer It,
The parlor was all in order. The
floor was covered with white sand
swept into curves. The woodwork was
a bright blue, white sash curtains at
the windows and plain stand with
green haircloth on it anC large
Bible resting on that. Six wooden
chairs and a stiff backed rocking chair
composed the furniture of the room
Stiff and formal as 1t looked, that was
not the place for party or party games

The gleam of the day and the stars of the

The flowers of our youth and the fruits of
our prime
And blessings e'er marching the pathway
of time.
We thank thee. o Father. for all thai Ii
The sob of the tempest. the flow Of the

For never in blindness and never in vain
Thy mercy permitted sorrow or pain,
We thank thee. o Father for song and

For never a blessing encompassed thy

But thou in thy mercy looked downward

We thank thee. o Father Of all, for the

OF aiding each other in lifes darkest hour.
The generous heart and the bountiful hand
And all the soul help that sad souls un-

For hopes that our future will call US to
thee,
That all our eternity may form through
thy love .
