Phoenix, Ariz, Feb. 14.-With west

In the ceremonies attendant on the
birth of the state and induction into

military was conspicuous by its alb
sence, the new governor being averse
to ostentation. There was but q
meager display, even of silk hats and
frock coats, which invaded Arizona
only a few years ago.
Accompanied by number of the
newly elected state officers and a few
close friends, Governor Hunt, who be-
gan life in Arizona quarter of a
century ago as a waiter in small
mining camp restaurant at Globe,
walked to the capitol building, which
stands about a mile from the center
Of the city. w. 49,; 80 y 5s .l

brief. After a prayer by Rev. Seaborn
Crutchfield, who was chaplain OF the
constitutional convention over which
Mr. Hunt presided, the oath Of office
was administered by Chief Justice Ed
ward Kent Of the territorial supreme
court, his last official act in that ca
pacity. Then followed the inaugural
address in which Governor Hunt prom
ised the new state golden rule ad-
ministration."
The new governor of Arizona is a

Noted Men Plant Trees.

Reforestation Of the Capitol grounds
by prominent statesmen is the latest
fad at Washington. The old German
custom of planting a tree every time
one is destroyed has been inaugu-
rated, and there is a rush among con-
gressmen for planting privileges.
A purple beach that grew in north
ern New York, near the home Of
Vice-President Sherman now adorns
the capitol grounds, near Delaware
avenue and B street northeast, at the
brow of the hill on the north drive.
Other public men, including Speak
er Clark, former Speaker Cannon and
a number Of prominent candidates.
viii be invited to plant trees, and
there promises to be a lively arbor
campaign. Among the trees that will
be planted are the walnut, hickory
and red oak, each man selecting the
tree under which he loved to linger
IN his boyhood.
Superintendent Elliott Woods is pro-
viding photographs of the recent tree
planting, to be filed away with the Of
fetal records, and reforestation is now
having its innings on the capitol
grounds.-News Letter.

self. Guglielmo Marconi studied at
the universities of Bologna and Padua,
and when only fifteen years old, on
his fathers estate near Bologna, Italy,
plunged enthusiastically into the
dreamland of electricity. In the course
of the next few years he headed
straight for one of its great mysteries,
the so-called Hertzian waves, or cleo
tricaI impulses which could travel
through air without the use of wire.
In 1895 when he was only twenty
years old, his advanced knowledge on
this obscure subject inspired him with
the theory that these waves could be
sent out and received at will, and in
that year he had constructed the first
wireless apparatus, whose efficiency
astonished even his enthusiasm.-F

SWEET MUSIC TO HIS EARS
Orators Revenge on Trousers That
Had Proved Treacherous at
Nest important Time.

Uncle Hank" Barnhart, who rep
resents part Of the state OF Indiana in
the lower house, shook the camphor
out of his dress suit one evening in
preparation for a public address he
was booked for and discovered that
his figure had grown too prosperous
for the open-faced garb that had once
been ample and comfortable. 1t was
then too late 10 get another outfit, and
Barnhart thought that by breathing
only in the upper parts of his lungs
he might avoid catastrophe.
About five minutes before he was
going on the stage where the speak
ing was 10 take place, Barnhart heard,
felt and otherwise became conscious
OF that lugubrious ripping action Of
trousers that one has outgrown. 1t
was an exciting moment. There was
no Retail Dress Suit agency in town,
and no time TO send out hurry call
TO such plant if there had been. The
best that Barnhart could do was to get
a man to pin the hiatus together, and
then murmur prayer that no cata.
clysm should occur.
BY standing sway-backed, Uncle
Hank got through his part of the ex-
ercises without mishap. His perspira-
tory glands were overtaxed, so great
was his apprehension, but the pins did
their work we'll, and when he retreat.
ed he did so in good order.
Then what do you suppose Barnhart
did? He retired TO secluded corner
back Of the stage, raised himself to
his full height and then bent over and
tried to touch his fingers to the floor
without bending his knees. Again he
heard large assure making its way
up and down the seams in those com
modious trousers.
RIP, goldarn you," said Barnhart
'and see If | care!"
"Ah, but twas music" says Barn
hart, telling about it, Ito hear that
low, ripping sound, knowing full vel
| that there was no one around to see."

shouldn't they dine together on week
pearances and they would never let
themselves be seen together in any
public place till they were formally
engaged. The man from New York
was a fiction. She-that immaculate,
perfect girl-had invented him. Domi
nick could not invent anything. He
was not that kind Of a man. But Ber-
ny knew that all women can lie when
the occasion demands, and Rose Can
non could thus supply her lovers de-
ficiencies.
With her Misunderstanding eyes fixed
on the white outside world, her men
tai vision conjured up picture of
them at dinner that night, sitting op-
posite each other at table glistening
with the richest of glass and silver,
while soft-fOoted menials waited OBJ
sequiously upon them. Bill Cannon
was not in the picture. Berny's imagi-
nation had excluded him, pushing rim
out CT the romance into some unseen,
undressing region where people who
/ were not lovers dined DULY by them
selves. She could not imagine Rose
and Dominick otherwise than alone,
exchanging tender chances over the
newest form of champagne glasses
filled with the choicest brand OF cham
payne.
A sound escaped her, a sound Of
pain. as if forced from her by the
grinding of jealous passions within.
She dropped the curtain and rose TO
her feet. If they married it would
be always that way with them. They
would have everything in the world,
everything that to Berry made life

CHAPTER XVII,
Out Of the FuIIness of the Heart.

Out Of the Fullness of the Heart.
That night 1t was Berny's turn to
be wakeful. In the silence of the sleep
ing house and the warm darkness Of
her curtained room, she lay tossing
on her bed. hearing the clear, musical
striking of the parlor clock as it
marked the hours. When the first
thin streak of gray painted pale line
between the window curtains she rose
and took a sleeping powder and soon
after fell into a heavy slumber.
This held her in the dead, motion
less Inconsistencies that a drug
brings, through the long morning
hours. Dominick's noiseless departure
hardly disturbed the hushed quiet Of
the little fiat. The Chinaman, trained
by his exacting mistress to make no
sound while she slept, went about his
work with a stealthy step and cautious
touch, even in the kitchen, shut off by
space and muffling doors, continuing
his care. He had had more than one
experience with the wrath of Mrs.
Ryan when she had been reused from
late slumbers by a banged door or a
dropped pan.
It was nearly lunch-time when she
awoke, slowly emerging from the
black, unbroken deafness Of her sleep
to momentarily augmenting sense Of
depression. She rose, her body SEEM
Ing to participate In the oppressed
discomfort Of her mind. and, going to
