GENEROUS REQUEST
 TO PIONEERS HOME
(From wednesdaY,s paiIY.l


 It will be learned with pleasure by all Arizonans that the late W. C.. Parsons, has generously remembered the Pioneers Home in this city. mak- ing it the beneficiary of sum that it Is estimated will run to at least $5O,0OO, copies of his will being re ceived in the city yesterday, and conveying this important information. This well known pioneer stipulated in his wild, which was signed at MeCabe in September, 1910, that af- ter certain bequests are made, that the estate be divided into twelve equal parts, and that the Pioneers 7 Home receive twO-twelfths of the whole. If the estate is valued at what is is generally reputed to be, this institution accordingly will re- eeive that sum, and possibly it may. reach to $75,OOO. Major Doran re- eeived a copy of the will yesterday, making the announcement public Later it was delivered to Governor Sloan, and by him taken to the capitol, last night, where it will be officially cared for, until the oces- sion arises for its presentation to the administrator of the estate. In speaking of this munificent eonsidera- tion extended the institution and the cause 1t represents, Major Doran said that the tribute of this pioneer to the pioneers was not unexpected. MT. Parsons informed hin late in 1910, that provision had been made for as- sisting the Pioneers Home, and that it was a pleasure for him to remem- Der the good cause.
 The bequest has oeeasioned little surprise among those who knew MT. Parsons best. He was a stalwart pioneer, generous to a fault, and above all he was a man of deeds and not of words. His unostentatious acts of charity and his remembrance of Hays of long ago, when he was struggling hard against diversity, were never forgotten when old time friends and aequaintanees were in need. He gave freely and with that was never effaeed from memory. he fOrgave, but never forgot. In all he was a man of wonderful personality Rugged in physique, in his early life, he battled with conditions that only the pioneer knows. From one end to the other of the country he wandered, and as peculiar as it may appear, he was unusually successful in mining. From sales he invested in one industry and another, until at the time of his death. his interests extended from Florida in the south to Oregon in the northwest. It is not known what hi. fortune is com puted at, but intimate friends are of the belief that it will range close to one and a half millions of dol | lars.

POLITICAL BREEZE
 SWEEPS OVER DOUGLAS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

NA -C- OdAAy-l
 C. A. Overlook, United States mar, shal, arrived in the oity this morn ing and his appearance caused a DO. iitieal breeze to pass through the city. as it was surmised that his ap- pearanee might be in the way of a political antidote for the tours now being made through the territory by George W. Hunt and Mulford Win sor says the Douglas Internationai. Overlook was for many years and until he received his present commits sion as marshal. the republican DO litieal bellwether of the Douglas C. O. P., and he is a sly old politician if there ever was one. For years he succeeded in leading so-ealled demo- erats in this city up to the polls where they voted for republicans uu- der the guise of independent tick cts" or peoples tickets" and had them under such control that he voted great many of them for Ralph Cameron, the regular republican nom inee in 1908, and induced some to even put up money to aid in his campaign.
 But MT. Overlook declares that his mission in Douglas today has nothing to do with politics, and that so far as probable candidates are concerned ne has no inside information, SO far as the republicans are concerned. He says that he regards statehood as al- most certain for the near future, and that so far as he has heard, there will be little objection to the terms upon which admission will be grant ed by congress and the president.
 Asked if he knew who would be- the republican candidates for the senate in Arizona, he declared that he had heard the name of no one seriously, and that he had no information regarding probable candidates for congress. However he admitted that he had heard the name of Hon. Ralph Cameron mentioned around Tucson as the probable re- publican candidate for governor.
 MT. Overlook stated that good | -ains had fallen all over the terri Ory, according to reports received in lis office, and because of this the alter part of this year should be un- lsually prosperous. He came to Douglas to serve some United States Ourt papers and expects to return Iome tomorrow morning.

BILL INTRODUCED TO
 AID SCOUT MOVEMENT
Contemplates Instruction in Trades And Agriculture in Secondary
 Schools and Colleges

WASHINGTON, D. C., August B. United States Senator Carroll s. Page believes that the Boy Scout movement Is leading in line of educational work and character building that eventually will be approved by con gress through legislation. Before be- coming interested in the, Roy Scout movement he made a study of the methods of educating boys and girls in different countries and now has introduced a bill in congress to pro- vide for the cooperation of the Federal government with the states in encouraging instruction in agricul- ture, trades, industries and home eco monies in secondary schools, state normal schols, colleges and universi- ties. Such bill would call for an appropriation of millions of dollars. The leaders of the Boy Scouts of America and Senator Page will doubt less cooperate in working for this bill because they feel that the Boy Scout principles are along the lines of the measure.
 Speaking of his measure and the Boy Scout principles Senator Page says: ''I am especially interested in the better education of the boys and girls of our land and my bill is in such entire harmony with the work that you are trying to do, that I have thought it best to send it to you. My theory is that after boy has come to the age when he must become in part a bread-winner for the family, that he ought to be examined care fully by expert methods and the line of work aseertained for which each particular boy is adapted.
 "I have no doubt that boy scout IS a better equipped man by far when he reaches the age of IS or 21 than a boy who has not had the benefit of seouteraft instruction.
 "My idea is that the general gov ernment should blaze the trail for the states in such way as to lead up to a fairly decent education in agriculture for the boy who decides to be a farmer, and in trades and in industries for the boys who design to be merchants or mechanics, and it should fit the girl with a practical education on home economies so that she becomes a better wife, better mother and a better housekeeper. "How much of the boy scout line of education could be introduced into | the educational work which my bill | provides for, may be matter of l doubt, but that they are in harmony and work along kindred lines together, cannot, it seems to me, be questioned, and it occurs to me that scout-craft work could be very ma terially benefited by the splendid which seOut-craft would give.''
 Captain Albert F. Love, Medical Corps, United States Army, has writ ten to the Boy Scouts of America giving instructions in regard to drinking water when in camp or on hikes The aim is to prevent the boys from becoming infected with typhoid fever or other diseases. Cap tain Love Says boys should follow the same rules that are applied in the army. He explains it is the custom of the medical department to consider all surface waters such as rivers, creeks, lakes, springs and shallow wells as infected unless the geographical situation shows that the

he sought to arrange In consecutive
order the information gathered by
Donnelly and Carson. The conviction
forced itself on his mind that Misa
Holcomb's arrest was based on cir
cumstance from which more than
one inference might be drawn. The
fact that she knew the combination or
Mrs. Missioner's safe did not mean, of
course. that she took the jewels. On
the surface, It looked as II hers was
the exclusive opportunity to possess
herself OF the gems. outside of Mrs.
Missioner herself But Britt felt that
the depth of the case had not been
sounded. in fact, that the surface had
not even been penetrated.
The only thread that connected
Miss Holcomb with the theft was the
diamond found in her room. But to
Brttz's experienced mind, this circum-
stance pointed rather toward inno-
cence than guilt For, he argued, If
she had taken those Jewels, she would
not have been SO careless as to leave
one Of them in her boudoir. That dia-
mond. Britz was convinced, was
placed there Intentionally and with
sinister purpose by hand other than
Miss Holcombs.

When Bismarck Went Dry.

Bismarck was not without supersti-
ton, and this always was noticeable
on the eve Of the new year. From 9
O'Clock that night until after midnight
he would not take water In any cir
cumstances from glass. 1t was an
ancient tradition in the chancellor's
family that any one who set the legend
at defiance would pass through a seri-
GUS Illness. If another tradition is true
the observance Of the family legend
must have been sore trouble to the
iron chancellor. for the Paris contem-
pOrary from which we take the fore

loved war. but beer and wines. espe-

Quick and Cheap LEGAL Work.


The French tribunal Of commerce Is
presided over by a judge without
jury. The plaintiffs lawyer argues
his own case before the judge, simply
to show that he has case and the
nature of it. The defendant does not
plead, but If he can disputes the facts.
If the Judge considers there is no case
he dismisses the plaintiff. In the con-
trary case he appoints an assessor out
of dozen chosen yearly of the towns
reputed merchants to decide upon it.
The following day the assessor calls
the parties to his room in thecourt. He
hears each Of them separately without
any lawyers. Within fifteen minutes
he gathers their documents and dis
misses them. Two or three days later
he communicates his judgment to the
solicitors through the court, and the
business is ended. The costs of law
yers and the court fees come to about
&c side. The same case in England
would take six months at least and
cost no less than ESQ for a claim Of

Gambling In Wood.

ITO most people my business would
seem to be devoid Of chances" said a
dealer in fine woods, yet as a matter
of fact know of nothing that is more
Of gamble. On every log Of wood we
buy we take chance that the inside
is as good as the outside. At recent
auction Of fine woods in London my
partner and paid $1,000 for mahog-
any log that looked all right so far as
we could tell. If the inside was sound
we stood to make good profit. but
worm holes or rotten spots at the core
would mean heavy loss. Not until
we got the log to this country and got
it opened up could we be certain. AS
matter of fact this particular log
was perfect. and we cleaned up $1,000
on the deal But it was gambling pure
and simple. New York Sun.
