ScHooLMA'AM WAS PLUcKY
Journey Of 1900 Miles In Arizona
to Take Examination.

In Arizona it is the law that
prospective teacher, lacking normal
school or college credentials, must
stand examination at the county
seat. This necessity for appearance
for examination at Flagstaff, the po-
htical center Of Coconimo county,
lately confronted Miss Carrie E.
Fish, a young woman who came
from Ohio two months ago to teach
at Fredonia, the northernmost set
Element Of Arizona.
Mainly populated by Mormon
stockmen and their families, it is sit
uated on Kanab Wash, only three
miles south Of the Utah line. Flag
staff is to the southwark 100 miles,
but direct passage would be possible
only to bird, for between is the
Grand Canon Of the Colorado river,
a mile deep and ii miles broad.
The only road to Flagstaff is 235
miles long, by way of Lees ferry
across the Colorado and through a
desert, dangerous and almost min-
habited country for almost all the
way, the trail rarely used by any
travellers save Navajo and Mopui In
dams, through whose reservation it
passes.
So the little schoolma'am bravely
started northward for Flagstaff by
stage to point on the Salt Lake
railroad in Utah, transferring to
the Santa Fe system at Barstow, Cal.
The round trip was one of 1900
miles, consuming ~ days, the cost a
serious tax upon her salary for the
term. But she passed the examina.

STRANGE ROMANCE IN ITALY
Young Fisherman at Bari Is DiscoV.
cred by His Now Wealthy Parents
Who Abandoned Him at Birth.

There is material for a thrilling
romance in the remarkable story
which comes from Bari, in Italy,
concerning a fisherman who, though
twenty years of age, has just found
his father and mother. Twenty
years ago, a young wife from Stras-
burg gave birth to a boy in an hotel
at Bari. The child was so weak that
it was not expected to live. The
mother herself was i'll, and her hus-
band had her conveyed to Germany.
The parents did not want to be
bothered with the ailing child, so
they confded it TO an orphanage.
The couple proceeded to Strasbprg,
where they prospered in business,
making a large fortune. 1t now oc-
CURED TO them TO inquire after the
fate Of their child whom they feared
must have died. To their great sur
prise they learned through the Ger
man consul that their son was not
dead, but was earning his living as
a fisherman. His mother arrived in
Bari, and found in the young fish
erman a strong resemblance 10 her
husband. The young man, who does
not understand a word of German,
was at once rugged out in new
clothes, and proceeded with his
mother TO Germany.
