IN THE
 LOCAL CHURCHES

Easter Sunday was appropri- ately observed in all the local churches in the city of Winslow. At both the morning and even ing services held at the Catholic church an excellent musical pro- gramme was rendered in addi- tion to the regular Sunday Mass. Much time had been spent in preparation by the partici- pants as was manifest in the able and skillful manner in which each number was render ed. Due credit must be given the master minds who so carefully selected the numbers and ar ranged the programme conceed- ed by all who heard the soft strains of muslc and soothing helpful words of the sermon, to be the best arranged and ablest delivered Easter entertainnent ever undertaken in the church history of Winslow.
 Following is the programme as rendered at the morning mass.
 The Opening-"To the Even ing Star"- Wagner, violin solo, Miss Fisher.
 The Intr oit-"Haec Oies''- Kapp. vocal solo, MT. Weinert
 The Offertory-"When 1 Sur. vey the Wondrous Cross"-Ira Wilson, vocal duet, Messrs Spell nire and Smith, violin, Miss Fisher.
 The Elevations-"O Salutaris' -Gounod, vocal solo Mir. Spell mire.

PASTURE LANDS
 OF THE WEST

The settlement of western lands can be greatly accelerated 2 and each of the western states containing large amount of public land may be benefited, if Congress would pass a law in. line with the resolutions unani- mously passed at the Billings Dry Farming Congress, provid- ing for the classification of the rough mountainous lands that are valuable only for pasturage, by a commission to be appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, and such lands sold out in such sized tracts as would be neces- sary for the support of the aver age American family. That Is, lands to be sold on ten years time, in ten annual payments, and not permitting a transfer during the ten years time and requiring the purchaser, when making final payment, to show that he has pasture6 the land to a reasonable extent.

Corrected Time

There is nothing like having timepiece to correct the mistakes of others. Those people who keep a clock in every room of the house will be glad to learn of the expedient adopted by an old colored janitor in an office build ing in Chicago. A man whose office was under this janitor's charge, asked hlm if he had the exact time.
 Just a moment, sir, he sail, and pulled out a battered silver watch, looked at 1t, put 1t back and then took, pencil and jot- ted down something on the back of an envelope.
 Next he produced d second silver watch from his trousers pocket, looked at it and began to figure out some thing on tiie paper. By and by he said:
 When you asked, sir, 1t was just 27 minutes past 8. That is exact"
 "Much obliged, said the oth- CT, who had been lingering Lis watch nervously. But will you please tell me what you were do- ing all that arithmetic for?"
 "Why, you see" said the old man, "this watch that L carry in my vest is mighty good watch, only it gains 10 minutes every day. And this one is a mighty good one, too, but it loses 10 minutes every day. So I just look at them both and then strike an average. You'd be surprised, sir, to see what a simple matter it is"

Very, Very Bad Men.

It is plainly evident that nei- ther Navajo county or Yavapai county elect men merely on ac- count of their good looks. Now Cocorino county is more apt to work the combination, for offic- ials are bright, handsome, in- tellectual and industrius- lust recently the district attorney of Navajo county and Yavapai county, both men of high mental evolutions with polished address that have that old nut, Chester field, backed off the board, were travelling on the limited train. To while away the scenery they began playing a game of au- thurs, or some card game like that, and invited an old gentle man to join them. The old gen. tleman sized them up and called the conductor to have the bunco and "come-on" men put off the train, for he knew what they were from sizing them up, aside from experience on Mississippi steamboats in the early days
 We will not mention their names for fear of hurting their feelings, but one was district attorney ot Yavapai county and the other district attorney of Naval 0 county. The conductor offered to keep the matter quiet tor $5 but neither would come through
