MRS. TAYLOR
 WRITES SONG
Takes Time From Her Tubs to Compose Lines of Bal lad Now on Sale Here Which Promises to Prove Popular

From the lowly estate of a laun- dress to that of a song writer seems a far cry, but that is exactly what Mrs Lola Taylor, wife of James "Chippe" Taylor, now serving life sentence in the state prison at Florence for the killing of Guy Kilgore on August 23, 1911, has accomplished. The sole sup port of herself and her worse than fatherless children, Mrs. Taylor, since the incarceration of her husband, has bent her back over the wash tubs in order that a roof might be kept over their heads and that there might be bread upon the table.
 Subjected to a life of arduOus toll, through no fault of her own, there would be small wonder if the little woman had given herself over to seeing only the bitter things of life. But she seems to have risen at times above her humble surroundings and vocation and to have had moments, despite her grief and almost over whelming burden, when the poetry that is in the soul of every good woman made itself manifest So worthy was at least one of her efforts that a well known eastern publishing house has set to music the words she submitted and has published the work in sheet music form
 The title of the composition is "The Battleship Maine" and there is a beauty and rythmn seldom attained by the amateur writer. The air, too, is catchy and has made it seem likely that the composite whole is likely to i become extremely popular supply of the copies have been placed in the | hands of the Redewill Music company The concern that made Arizona musi- cal has agreed to turn over the gross receipts from the sale of the copies placed in its hands to Mrs. Taylor
 The words of the song follow: The battleship Maine will be raised again,
 And cause many to shed a tear, 1 For the boys who were drowned as
 the ship went down,
 When no earthly help was near. Uncle Sam's men will work on the ocean waves
 We will soon see our ship again; Then in memory of our sailor boys
 we'll save
 The ruins of the Battleship Maine. The Battleship Maine the war with
 Spain,
 And all of the heroes who died, Are remembered today as their bodies
 lay,
 In the battlefield side by side But the boys who sleep in the ocean deep.
 The ones we searched for in vain: As token of love for them shall be. The ruins of the Battleship Maine "Everyone's heard of the Battleship Maine,
 And the sailors who lost their lives, Everyone has heard of the war with Spain,
 | Boys left mothers, sweethearts, wives;
 Some gave up their lives for their | country,
 And some with us still remain; l With the Red White and Blue we long to renew, The ruins of the Battleship Maine"

the process of construction upon the unsusupecting pedestrians below The latest and most spectacular of a long list of such accidents has finally aroused public feeling sufficiently to indicate that something is likely to be done In this accident, which oc- cured as thousands were hurrying home from offices, in the congested downtown district, a workman or the thirty sixth floor of the new mu- nicipal building was crushed to death by a huge granite block partially re- leased by the breaking of a derrick arm. Had the mass fallen to the ravement it might have caused a dozen deaths It has frequently been suggested that the sidewalks adja- cent to buildings in the course of erection be roofed over They would of course provide protection against smaller missiles but would be value less. no matter how strongly con structed against a ton of granite or steel falling several hundred feet. Abolishing the law of gravity seems to be about the only sure protection, but engineers are nevertheless work ing on different plans which they hope may make pedestrians reason ably safe in the vicinity of sky scraper in the course of erection
 The biggest fish story of the sea son un to date has just emanated from the Zoo, and as might be SUD-
Arizona republican., 1912-09-23

posed from this distinction, it is a remarkable one to say the least. The Zoo is now in possession of fish which can climb, a tank containing a dozen climbing perch having just been received there the gift of an Englishman who on his last visit to this city promised to send back any thing which he might run across during his travels. The result is the climbing perch in question which comes from India and is about ten inches in length. They have been placed in a tank around the edges of which is a wooden platform. The Zoos fishkeeper explained that they get their name from hte fact that when they desire to take a nap they climb up the side of the tank to the platform on which to enjoy their sleep. Fortunately the fish are on rublic view so that increduious per sons can inspect them first hand in stead of having to rely on hearsay evidence as is the case in most fish stories. Incidentally the arrival o1 the climbing perch seems likely tt throw some light on the mooteC question as to whether fish sleep.

FIRST GAME
OF SEASON
TOMORROW

The high school team was given
good, stiff workout yesterday after
noon and with light practice tonight
will be in splendid shape for the big
game Saturday with the Portland
Academy. Captain Hendricks says
that in the game tomorrow there Will
be no tie score as has been the result
of all the games played with this ag-
gregation for the past several years,
but that one or the other of the teams
will suffer defeat and that in his
Judgment it will be the academy
The freshmen have lot of material
already ,on the ground for the bonfire
tonight and first-class jolly-up will
be held this evening, The students
will gather at the high school building
and from there will march down town
and through the principal business
streets to give the citizens an exhibit
tlon of the school spirit.
After the parade the pupils Will
again assemble at the school premises
when the bonfire will be lighted and
speeches by prominent citizens will be
made. Responses will be made by
members Of the football team and
members of the faculty.
The game tomorrow is the first
game of the season with an out-of-
town bunch, consequently there Is
much interest in seeing how the team
which is made up of practically all
new material, will stand with Other
teams of apparently the same oppor-
tunities.
The game tomorrow will be called
at 8 o'clock on Willamette field.
