A TRAGEDY.

He was just a dog, Mister-that's all; And all Of us boys called him Bub; He was curly and not very tall And he hadn't a tail-just a stub. His tail froze one cold night, you see, We just pulled the rest of him
 through. No-he didn't have much pedigree Perhaps that was frozen off, too. He always seemed quite well behaved And he never had many bad fights. In summer he used to be shaved And he slept in the woodshed
 nights. Sometimes he would wake up too soon And cry, if his tail got chill; Some nights be would bark at the
 moon.
 But some nights he would sleep very
 still. He knew how to play hide-and-seek And he always would cone when
 you'd call; He would play dead, roll over. and

 And learned it in no time at all Sometimes he would growl just in
 play,
 But he never would bite, and his

THE CLEAN SLATE" HABIT
Here's a Good Hint to the World of
 Girls and Women

Here's a Good Hint to the World of
 Girls and Women
 Are you one of the girls who are given to moping, to looking fearfully into the future, or to lamenting the past? There is no surer cure for these unhappiness breeders than to cultivate the clean slate habit.
 What is 1t?
 Live a day at a time Start each morning with a fresh record to be with the bluTs of yesterday nor the possible blots of tomorrow.
 The girl who gets the clean slate habit, realizing the value Of living but a day at a time, determines to make that day as bright and helpful as she can. She seeks to write upon it only pleasant things, says the Chi csgo Tribune. If the disagreeable ones must go down, she looks for ward 10 the morrow, when they can be rubbed out. though perhaps they must be rewritten.
 The girl with the clean slate habit does not force early wrinkles by dread of the morrow. She takes all the fun Of the present until it be comes a habit-such a strong habit that even the worries as they come fail to blurr the slate.
 Try it, just for one day. Begin this morning to rub out of your recoIlee ton the things you failed to do and the things you may fail in doing i Determine, until you go to bed to i night, to live for the next thing al well and as cheerfully as you can. If a day spent is not entirely as you would spend it, at least the ay craze of happiness is higher than il 1 you passed the hours in vain regrets and vainer forebodings until nc strength is left for sane living.

CONTESTANT
 IN THE DESERT RACE
President Reno of Copper City Brewing Company May En- ter Los Angeles to Phoe-
 nix Contest

Although he has not reached any final decision, H. N. Reno of Douglas, president Of the Copper City Brew ing company, will probably enter his 5O-horsepower Lozier roadster in the Los Angeles Phoenix race. MT. Reno, who was in Phoenix on Wednesday, told a Democrot reporter that if he can spare the time he will enter the race and drive his own car He has not selected any mechanician.
 The Reno machine is well known here. It has been in pretty nearly every part of the state and was in Phoenix at the time of the last terri torial fair Although it has run a good mapy thousand miles, it's owner says that it is as good as it was the day he bought it. IL is one of the and most powerful cars ill Ari- zona.
 "I certainly want to get into that race" Reno said. "Of course I will drive myseIf-aH the sport is in the driving. But it will take so much time to prepare for the race that am not sure whether I can enter. A driver should go over the course two or three times, at least, and if enter can't possibly do more than go over and back. understand that the route will be well marked, but marks don't do much good when you are making speed"
 Reno says that no one else in South ern Arizona is thinking of going into the race. He has been expecting to hear that some, of the Tucson agents intend to enter, but so far no one in the Old Pueblo has indicated any de- sire to compete.

According to GUS tom an announcement epf the referee such as the one made in this case is accepted as final. and the stake holders should act accordingly but as local bets have already been paid ii would seem that it is now "up to the winners to return to the losers the amount of the bets Whether this will be done or not is Of course a question.
 Many local fans have asked The Review about the division of the re- ceiDts. as they were announced on Tuesday, for according to the report printed that morning, Curley, Hack enschmidt's manager received the largest share. The division of the money as originally announced ana as printed below was correct, and for the benefit of those who have wonder ed at it, the following explanation is offered. According to the articles oi agreement for the match, Gotch was guaranteed S21. .000 and Hacken- schmidt was to have 70 per cent oi the balance after all the expenses Of the promoters had been paid. Mana ger Curiey bought Hackenschmidt's s share some time before the match for sl1,o00 and s2,500 expense money and the Russian paid ali his own expenses.
