THE TALE OF A
 LITTLE RED HEN
It Flew Into the Night and Cut Its Throat on a Stove pipe At Least, That's What Two Men Now Say.

Parolman Behny was taking a lit tie walk for himself and his job Wednesday evening. He was east on Madison street when two men passed him One had piece of stove pipe Under his arm; the other evidently had something under his coat.
 What have you therc?" asked the policeman.
 oh sir" replied the other, that's none of your bloomin' business"
 Whereupon the blue coat used l little rhetoric and persuaded the hos tile gent to show what he had.
 It was a red chicken. It was a dead red chicken. It was still warm.
 'Where'd this come from" asked BehnZ
 Twas this way" caroled one of his hearers, we were coming along the street carrying this section of home destroyer commonly known as stove pipe. Out of the darkness comes a feathered catapult. Bing, Into the sharp end of the pipe it flies We investigate. You see-the result one dead chicken-throat cut by q midnight flight against piece of sheet iron"

MYRTLE ElVYN

The gifted American pianist, Myrtle Elvyn. will apear at the Arizona School of Music the coming Tuesday evening. It is an event for Phoenix to have the privilege of hearing this fam ous artist One of the leading music critics of America says Miss Elvyn plays with that authority which only success can give. The cultured audi ences and critical reviewers of Europe have enthusiastically endorsed the yer dict which America pronounced on her gifted daughter. Her late appearances abroad have been a continuous tri- umphal tour. She was everywhere ac- corded the most tumultous applause and the highest recognition. The pub lie. the press, and the Royal Courts united in acclaiming her as the lead ing woman pianiste of the age. She has elevated music to greatest heights and given it to the world through the medium of her genius.

SUPPLY OF SABLE CUT OFF.

The true Russian sable being in danger of complete eXtermination. tn. duma has passed a bill prohibiting the tramping of sable from Feb II. 1913 till october 29, 1916. Hitherto there has not been even closed season, and sable have been caught when moulting and with young in such a reckless fashion, especially in the Va koo,sk. Lena and Amoor districts. that their numbers have been stead fly decreasing for years. says the New York Sun The sable is the true mar ten, a variety of the pine marten. and the size of the skin rarely exceeds eight inches by twenty inches. The bluish tint of thc Overhair and the softness of. the peIt distinguish the real from the imitation sable
 Orly d few hundred belts of the choicest kind are trapped in the year. but no less than 10000 so-called sable skins are sold annually at jhe Irbitsk fair. The majority of these are the skins of squirrels from Tartary and Siberia, dyed to initiate the genuine sable

 Francis was the coolest man in the crowd. He walked slowly around his machine, testing twisted stay here, breaking off a shattered part there. He had little to say, except that he was not hurt. He posed for a photo graph and said it would cost him whole lot to repair the damage. He said that weather conditions were to blame when a man asked him if it wasn't the fault of his motor After while he lighted a cigarette and walked back toward the grandstand while the mechanics dragged the en- zine out of the splintered wings and made sure that it was not injured
 Bryant was viSibly shaken when he rushed through the crowd and made sure that Francis was uninjured. But he went back to his Curtiss flyer and prepared to go up. At twelve minutes past two he rose from earth. circled the grounds twice and alighted after being in the air five minutes. In an- other quarter of an hour he was up again winging out across the city to- ward the capitol with note congrat- ulating Governor Hunt on Arizona's new ranking in the union ready to be dropped when he swept across the state house grounds.
 And then Brong commenced to warm up his Case car. By the time

Bryant had made the big turn and was heading back toward the fair grounds-looking like big bug in the bright sunshine-Brong had his ma chine ready for the mile spurt against the biplane.
 Bryant worked his way to the eX- treme eastern side of the grounds and as the stripped automobile tore down the back stretch the shadow of the big man-bird covered it. They were together at the wire and went the mile in good shape. the plane losing heavily on the turns and gaining cas- ily on the straightaway stretches. The mile was reeled off in a little over a minute with the automobile winner by lamp.
 Then the biplane described couple of shorter circles and slid down through the air to its resting place

 More motorcycle races and another trial between the auto and biplane are scheduled for today

When things are going well. we usually go up twice each aft ernoon, making four flights in all.

 Francis did not jump. He had no time. He stayed in his seat and kept his motor humming until he was thrown out and the machinery stilled by the shock. When he did go it was more fall than a jump. By mere freak. it seems, he threw himself-or was thrown-to the left, and while the heavy sixty horsepower motor mashed the seat into the earth, he fell beneath the light radiator and was practically uniniured

FOR COUNTRY LIFE.

one of the most important of the general recommendation made by President Tai, relates to the better ment of country life conditions in America and the promotion of agri- cultural conditions, says the Baltimore American. Here is a country that has that the state of Texas alone, it is assorted could. if properly cultivated, furnish sustenance for tne entire world. Yet the agricultural areas are but scratched over, and immeasurable tracts are not susceptible of cultiva- ton under present conditions. Mary land is not one of the major agricul- tural states, but it is one of the most important in respect tO the variety and diversity of it's agricultural con ditions It is a state that is rich in agriculture and rich in possibilities of it's country life. There is no req son why there should not be steady stream of immigrants into the state whose addition to the productive ele- ments of the counties would greatly enhance the value and attractiveness of Maryland soils.
