a NEW USE FOR THE AUTO

Mr.. James NJ Mathews, ex-county
commissioner from the fifth district,
was In the city Tuesday. and among
other interesting events in his section
related a little experience which he
and his neighbors had last Sunday.
They went from Fairfield in Mr..
Tate's Brush auto 10 Mr.. Douglass
Fant's place. some miles distant, to
enjoy a drink of cane juice, having
learned that he had been engaged dur
ing the week in grinding cane for
syrup. Judge of their disappointment
on arriving to find that all the juice
had been consigned TO the kettles
and made into syrup. OF course no
one was disposed TO hitch up a team
90 the cane mill on Sunday after the
faithful animals had just completed a
hard weeks grind; but. have cane
juice they must.
MFR. Tate. not to be outdone. invited
his companions TO rest easy while he
solved the problem. In a short time
he had attached his Brush TO the pro-
polling device Of the cane mill Then
there was a "merry-go-round" (one)
auto race in which the Brush came
out victorious. and then everybody
had all the cane juice they cared to
consume in a few minutes.
Mr.. Mathews says that he is now
satisfied that an auto can be made an
exceptionally useful article on the
farm. though up to Sunday he had

THE MIs-sPELLED WORD CON
TEST

The contestants in this novel con-
test need not feel badly because they
have missed several OF the worls, as,
after checking over the coupons last
week. there was not a perfect score
in the list.
While quite a few tied by getting
four of the worls. this only brings
them on an equal basis with others
who in weeks past only missed one
word
One of the contestants only in the
entire list made a perfect score last
week. but as this one missed one ca
the opening week, this still leaves a
number OF ties less than a dozeu)
for first place.
The contest is now on the last half,
and those who industriously continue
working viii undoubtedly land one Of
the prizes az the final count.
Simply because you have missed
several words in the past is no reason
why you should not come in on the
home stretch II you keep at it. as
those who have been more fortunate
than you may also make further err
rors between now and the wind-up.

a MERvv GIRLS BOLD ROBBERY

A special from Philadelphia says
that what the police declare TO be one
of the boldest and most carefully
planned robberies committed there in
recent years was perpetrated Satur-
day by a beautiful 2l-year-old girl.
who. impersonating an inspector In a
department store. collected 5000 in
cash from Eve cashiers.
The girl preceded the regular in
spector who daily collects the cash
BY only a few minutes. So close was
her calculation that while she was
getting cash from one cashier the reg
ular inspector was collecting from an-
other cash register.
The girl began operations in the
basement There. about 4 o'clock,
without coat or hat. she made her way
20 one Of the counters. She said the
regular inspector had been discharg
ed. and she would In future make 1ai-
~ collections Without a word the
cashier turned over about $50 in bills
at small denominations
The inspector" affixed the sigma
ture 20 the cashiers slip, put the bills
IN a small tin box. which was a duoli-
cate Of the one carried by the regular
Inspector. and. taking up the sched-
ule OF the days sales. went along.
The same performance was repeat
ed AZ one OF the counters on the main
floor. There the cashier, seeing the
girl with the cash box. turned over
about sl25 In bills.
EmbOldened by her success, and
with the schedule OF the main floor
counter added 20 the one she had al
ready obtained. the girl made her way
10 the suit and coat department. The
cashier there became suspicious and
refused 90 turn over the days pro-
ceeds. which amounted to more than
$4,000.
The girl did not demonstrate, but
saying she would take along the
schedule of the days bushes went
90 another counter on the same floor.
There the cashier. seeing the cloak
and suit daily schedule and catching
a glimpse OF the already well filled
cash box. turned over the entire days
proceeds. amounting to about 1925.
The same performance was repeat.
ed at several other counters. and in
each instance successfully.

During an exploring expedition Tn the arctic regions. some years ago. the men spent considerable time hunting polar bears. One day a party in an oRen boat saw a big bear with two cubs on the ice net far distant As the boat drew near. the sailors threw them great lumps of walrus flesh. and these the old bear divided among her cubs, Teserving only a small portion for herself. Then, while all three were feeding in a bunch. the sailors fired. instantly killing the cubs and severely wounding the dam. It &C., tuaily excited pity to see her be- hayior. Though fatally wounded, she tore another lump of meat in pieces and laid it before the cubs. When she found they would not eat, she tried 10 raise them up. all the while moaning piteously. The men fired another vol ley. and then she fell between her cubs, and died licking their wounds.

 Along with many other delinquent subscribers he was sued last sum mer In his answer to the complaint he raised the point that his subscrip- ton had been secured by misrepre- sentation to-wit; that be was told that the. purpose of the organization was to facilitate the spread of morality and Christianity
 The defendant is a man of extreme and almost painful religious views, one who holds that whatever act Is not specially authorized by the scrip lures. is to be considered as forbid den. That is, he is a strict construc- tionist
 Therefore. when some time after his subscription had been secured, he learned that among the facilities Tor the spread of Christianity and moral. ity, there were to be installed in the Y. M. c. X building, pool and billiard tables, he felt that he had heen inyeigled into promising sinews of war to the devil in his never end ing fight with righteousness. There fore, he sought to recall the promise.
 So far the citizen, whether right or wrong concerning pool and bil- Hard tables as means ot grace, was within his rights but of late he has fallen into what ve believe is seri- ous error. The case a few days ago was set for trial at an early date and thereupon the citizen defendant con stTucted a prayer and caused it 10 be printed in the Phoenix papers and by T those CngodIy vehicles had it con. veyed to the holy of that community.
 The burden of the prayer in which all the rightminded are expected to join, is that in the forthcoming litiga ton between righteousness in the per son oi the defendant, and the forces ol evil and the Prince of the Power oi the Air in the guise of the Phoenix Y M C. A.. righteousness may triumph
