MEETING
 SOMEWHAT FROSTY
Moving Pictures and Candi- dates Combined Fail to
 Draw Crowd

While assuming an air of confidence and eheerfulness the republican can didates who came to Bisbee yester- day to hold a rally at the Orpheum last night had little reason to feel encouraged at the reception which was accorded them in Douglas the night before, according to Douglas ties who were in Bisbee yesterday
 II was not that there was an insuifi- ciency of enthusiasm among those who attended the meeting. but the fact that the crowd was not there.
 Despite the fact that a moving pie ture show was held before the speech making began in Douglas, and the fact that there were on the platform tho candidates for senator, congress nan, governor and corporation com' missioners. say the reports received nere, there were not over 300 in the audience. including women and chill dren who remained after the pictures. The meeting occurred at the Airdome and the regular performance was held first. Following the perform ance about two-thirds of those who had witnessed 1t remained for the meeting and some others came in.. All of the speakers were well received but the size of the audience, for the first rally of the campaign in that city. was disappointing to the candi. dates. who had expected a gathering that would pack the building. No word of complaint was heard from any of the candidates here and the reports came from Douglas people who were in this city yesterday.

Any poultry fsneier--and by fancier is meant one who is really fond or his or her feathered friends-who has not fed his flock ground green bone has a treat in store for himself as we'll as for the fowls, for it IS impossible to witness the enjoyment that the flock will take from the En- expected feast without taking almost equal joy in witnessing it. It would appear that the birds in the pen scent the unexpected delicacy from afar. from the way the rush nut- tering to meet the master or mistress.

It seems to be the rule that be- ginners in the squab business have a desire to own white birds. for those that have followed the bird business for any length of time care little what the color may be so long -as the bird produces light skinned squab.

would utter. The silence down
stairs could have been cut with a
knife.
Another groan, ending with a
wail-such wall as strong man

with the mad waves and sinks to the
bottom of the tossing sea. OF

This signing, wailing, groaning
agonizing sound was made by Miss

her mouth. Somebody downstairs
muttered something about tom cats.

ascending. An electric cigar lighter
