Warming the Eaos.

There was once an old lady in
Scotland who kept n few hens. As
she lived close to the house In which
a church minister lived. he asked her
to send him two new.laid eggs every

them.
So the old lady sent her girl to tho
ministers house every morning with
two eggs. and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm, AZ

hens nest
But one day the eggs were cold. 40

Washington Dispatch on
Statehood Question
THERE IS WIDE VARIANCE
Between What Was Printed
in Unreliable and Scurril-
Gus Afternoon Sheet and
What Took Place, Accord
ing to the Record.

On June 23rd there appeared in the
Arizona Gazette this characteristic
Washington dispatch relating To the
statehood hearing. filled with abuse OF
Delegate Cameron and praise Of Eu-
gene Brady O'Neill, presumably the
author:
Washington, June 23.-The hearing
on the statehood bill before the senate
committee on territories was concluded
this morning. Eugene Brady O'Neill ap-
pearing for Arizona. Delegate Ralph
Cameron pleading against the admis-
sion of the territory he represents, and
New MexicO's- interests cared for by
Jones, FAN and Spies.
Mr.. O'Neill made a strong appeal for
the admission of Arizona, pointing out
To the committee the great desire of
the people of Arizona for the constitu
ton which they adopted by a majority
vote Of eighty per cent, and the neees-
sity for admission because of the great
benefit the status will give her in finan-
cial commercial and colonization ways.
O'Neill has been working with all his
might since his arrival here a few days
ago and had the satisfaction today of
being told by several members of the
committee that his efforts in behalf of
Arizona had borne such good fruit that
there no longer remains the slightest
doubt Of the approval of the bin by the
committee.
Delegate Cameron. who was expected
To defend the constitution and urge the
immediate admission of his territory,
took the same line of opposition he re-
Gently adopted in congress. denounc-
ing the constitution of his territory and
declaring that President Taft would not

Vanced against the admission Of his

the world, Cameron had borne down
