FROM CIVILIZATION

james Oliver Curwood, author of
"The Flower of the North" tells
the following story about the men
to be found in TIE country about
Hudson Bay, where the scene of
his story is laid:
l was at Prince Albert. The saws
sitting on the veranda of the
little old Windsor hotel, facing the
Saskatchewan. During the few
days previous number of factors,
trappers and half breed canoemen
had come down from the north.
One of these men had not been
down to the edge of civilization fol
seven years. Three of the others
had not been down in two and this
was the annual trip of the other
eight for,there we're just eighteen
of us sitting there together.
1--WE were smoking md talking
when a young woman turned uI
the narrow walk leading to the
veranda. Immediately every voice
was hushed and as the woman came
uD the steps those twelve roughly.
clad men of the wilderness rose tC
their feet to man, each holding
his cap in his hand. Thus the,
stood, silent and with bowed heads
until the young woman had passed
into the hotel. 1t was the most
beautiful tribute to womanhood
had ever seen. And /, the man
from civilization was the only one
who remained sitting, with my
hat still on my head.

SKINS ON THE BARN DOOR

In view OF the many tSrrlhr
onslaughts which have and now are
being made in the campaign, just
read "Bill Simpson Pup" and see
if it reminds you of anything or
anybody:
Bill Simpson had a NANCY pup,
A fierce and strenuous cuss;
Aad every time the moon came up
He made a roaring fuss.
Bill thought he had a watchdog
SIRE,
And when he went to he'd;
He felt so safely and secure
He called his barker Ted"
Bill told his neighbors that he met
About bis canine prize,
And in his zeal about his pet
He told u thousnd lies.
He told about his killing skunks,
And driving thieves away;
And tearing wild cats up in chunks,
While keeping wolves at hay.
But when his neighbors saw no
hides
Nailed on Bill Simpsons barns;
AS trophies of his NANCY prize,
Some dared to doubt his yarns.
One night when Bill was fast
asleep
A wise old skunk came round:
He knew the place where chickens
sleep.
And barks are naught but sound.
He pulled the bullets from their
pole,
And killed them every one;
Then went and set beside his hole
To watch the rising son.
The uther evil beasts around,
Encouraged by the scoop
pulled off upon that dog of sound)
In William Sim5on's coop.
Pounced down upon his calves and
sheep,
And took 'em by the neck;
They didn't'Ieave thing to peep,
But left the ranch wreck.
Wild stock broke in and ate his
corn,
While thieves drove off his mules;
But Teddy barked from night till
morn
Like other barking fools.
MORAL:
SO when you hear q barker blow,
With loud progressive wind;
With not blooming thing TO show
OF skunk, or trust, that's skinned.
Don't bet your coin upon him, boys!
But coolly keep your head;
Nor get excited by the noise
Although his name is Ted"

MESA RIFLE CLUB
 WILL BE FORMED SOON
The Sharp Shooters Of the Town and Country Will Get Together
 Next Week to Organize

Edwin M LeBaron. Guy Collins, Water Nash, and several other of the crack shots of Mesa and vicin- ity, have received so much encour- aEement as to the formation of rifle club for this section that a meet ing is to be held at ArmOry hall some day next week to perfect the organization.
 And why not? The rifle team of Of Mesa company. National Guards, contains several of the best shots in the state. especially at long range Last year the Mesa team bested the Phoenix guards team by two points at 200 yards, and at that time sev- cral of the men had not had prac- tice for months. They have taken part in the state journeys, the big meet at Camp Perry, and rifle meets elsewhere. Tn addition to the guards men there are some forty or fifty expert shots in town and the sur rounding country that need only the regular practice for short time to be able to stand up and hold their own with any team in the state A number of the best shots are business men or employed in the bUSlneSS houses m town, put the propretors will no doubt be willing to give a portion of their time and grant leave to their employees for so laudable a purpose as the build ing up of a team that can take at least a high place in the rifle shoots of the state. IL is a business prop osition. Bisbee, with it's crack team gets enough advertising to more than offset the time and money expended in maintaining the prestige of it's riflemen.
 The promoters of the rifle team proposition say there will be no diff ficulty in getting thirty or more men here who, with practice can carry off some the the best prizes offered in this state. They are hopeful of starting out with an enrolment of forty or more riflemen. The army gun will be used and the club will be able to get it's ammunition at act ual cost. The armOry hall over the Mesa Furniture store will afford splendid place for practice and for holding meetings and the National Guard target range can be used for long range practice. If the business men will give their moral support to the club, there is no doubt of it's success.
