Pm crazy to see our old home once
again."
s'Your old home is going to be
your new home some day, J. hope"
he said, giving heT one lingering,
loving glance.
II hope your hope will come
true," she said, placing her hand
tenderly on his shoulder.
As they neared the house Annie
spied the tree, which seemed to be
waving its leaves to welcome her.
'That dear old tree has been watt
ing for me all these years" Jump
ing out of the car, she ran toward it.
Standing under the branches, she
looked like some pure white flower.
Percival could not resist the temp
tation to kiss her.
ssI'm so glad,' she whispered, as
the moon above smiled upon the
two lovers under the green canopy,
s.that our first kiss is under my dear
old tree. 1t makes it so sacred, Per-
cival," she said. cam I the only
girl you ever kissed under the pro-
tecting shadows of this tree?"
II can swear to you by all that I
consider holy that you are the only
sweetheart I've had as long as that
tree is standing there" answered the
young man, "and my love, like the
oak, will stand for years to come,
hardy, firm and strong"

THE TRAVELLERS COMFORT.

! A slipper without heel, which is
so soft that it can be folded and put
into very small space, is a new i'm
vention designed for the traveller.
We have had cretonne hats and
coats, cretonne covers for the furni-
! ure, and now cretonne slippers are
among the latest things. A woman
was making pair the other day
without pattern. She bought
ipair of soles, such as are used fol
1.-THE crocheted slippers, put her foot
,on the floor, fitted the cretonne over

;She bound the top of the slipper and
sewed the lower edge to the sole. 1t

wear in the sleeper during the night

much" directed Hazel, thinking,
Certainly it isn't necessary to stay
home to watch that man."
Hazel was much disturbed upon
her return to meet her brother, who
looked as distressed, excited and an
CRY as it was possible for young
man to appear. ''Hazel, in heavens
name-there's nothing but the roots
of that tree left. The old imbecile
bungler chopped it down. How
could it have happened? I'll have
that brute arrested! Aimee loved
that tree and I believed she loved
me. because 1 loved it too"
ooh! Percival, it's all my fault.
Pm so sorry"
81 should think you would be.
Annie will never believe that tree
ever stood there since we moved here.
She'll think Pm a deliberate de-
ceiver, a liar and everything in the
category Of deceit. If that sturdy
old oak was only standing there, I'd
give every cent l possess, or expect
to earn"
''Why not have another one plant
ed in its placer" suggested Hazel.
"Great, immense! I'll send the
man to the woods tomorrow to fetch
one"
A few days later, when Percival
met the "only girl in the world fol-
him" at the depot he said, Jump

A delegation of citizens from
Isabel came in Wednesday night
and remained over here until the
next day when they proceeded on
their way to Mobridge to meet
one of the railroad commissioners
and the Puget Sound officials at
that place about making a special
effort to get a train through. A
meeting was held here Wednesday
night and Messrs PARROT and Fain
joined the party. Several travel
ing men were also in the crowd
having been at Isabel since the
last train out which was on Dec.
~. Word received from the par
ty after arriving at Mobridge was
to the effect that they had a hard
trip and all of them were more or
less frost bitten.
The latest report is to the effect
that rotary pillow has been order
ed from the main line and dash

Last night was one of the cold
est ones in the state for number
of years, if not the coolest since
a record has been kept. 1t was

81 at Aberdeen. The air was so
cold little after supper time that
one could almost break it into
chunks.
The driver who brought Mr..

the next Morning taking with him
as passengers B. M. Herman, Mrs.
Fred Ward and Miss Hardy who
had been waiting here several days
for train to return to her studies

Its odd nomenclature is derived
from the fact that prior to the war

1T the duties of lawmaking and
interpreting the laws are pushed upon
the people of this country, one-man
rule will inevitably result. The COM
munity is bound to center its conf.
dence in certain men who represent
their sentiments at the time. The gov.
eminent will eventually become q
one-man system, and this man will
have behind him the power of the

From signal from Milliken that he ! had closed in, the Chinese were ston- | ped by one of the inspectors where
 they were, and the other started after the guide; but he sought safety in flight, throwing away his slicker and
 a parcel of lunch he had prepared for
 use on the road.
 At the immigration office the guide captured gave the name of Manuel
 Miranda, and stated that this was the 1 first connection he had ever with Chi
 nese smuggling operations, and th2t
 he had ben induced to go into it by the man who had escaped This
 morning the Chinese were examined by the immigration officials, through the official interpreter, Lee Park Lin,
 who had been summoned from Tue
 son by telephone. They stated that lthey had engaged the two men Ito guide them from Nogales, Sonora, to Tucson. Three of them had been in ] the United States, having with them valid certificates of residence. All four will be held as witnesses against the guide, who will be given examina- tion in due time. When the federal
 authorities are through with them as
 witnesses they will be returned to Mexico, and the certificates of resi-
 dence appropriated, as the holders
 have forfeited them by leaving the country without permission

 Have never missed a chance to place a bet on Roosevelt add never lost"
 The whole convention and galler- ies then joined in singing America and they did it with fervor that was relig- ious. It did not at all smack of the usual spirit of political conventions where delegates have gathered only to ratify nomination made by national Vommittea. This was followed by Dixie, which also made a hit.
 Then came Roosevelt and ponde- monium broke loose. The Colonel tried to stop it, but ther was no stop to it.
 As he drum corps of the southern veterans struck up Dixie the colonel tapped with his foot and then in delir- ium of joy the delegaes started the day. Colonel Roosevelt was escorted to the coliseum soon after noon.

ARIZONA NEWSPAPERS IN FIGHT
 FOR ROOSEVELT AND PEOPLE
OPINION NOT TIED TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF ULTRA CONSERVATIVE CORPORATION NEWSPAPERS. NOTABLE Ex AMPLEs OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT CREATED RY>sMALL NUMBER OF PROGRESSIVE NEWSPAPERS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT.

The Globe Weekly Republican, off
 cial paper of Gila county, has an
 nounced for Theodore Roosevelt of
 America" and platform, "Thou shalt not steal;" and so the good work
 goes on. The Globe Daily Silver Belt 1 is opposed to both Taft and Wilson;
 but has not as yet thrown up a Roose- welt flag at the masthead. The Apache
 Weekly Observer of St. Johns de
 clared for Roosevelt some time ago, but the Examiner is the only daily
 of the dozen in the state that declared for Roosevelt at the beginning oI the. flight.
 Either Arizona's newspapers are ul- tra conservative and corporation ruled
 pr lack convictions on the vital issues now confronting the American people, Newspapers may oppose public senti-
 ment for the filthy lucre that there is in it from the t''invisible govern ment" source, but experience has shown that such newspapers lose in- fluence and carry little weight when great questions arise though they may
 be extensively read for the news they contain.
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-08-08

The American people are wiser than they used to be and generally know when a newspaper fighting for a principle or waiting for the graft that there is in it. It is always true that "a handful of fearless and inde- pendent newspapers can control more public sentiment than a band wagon full of corporation and graft ruled sheets. A striking example of this is found in the overwhelmingly pro- gressive state of California where it may be said that the largest newspa- -pers were opposed -te Johnson and are now opposing Roosevelt. Another Another very noticeable case is that of Missouri where the Kansas City Star and it's fearless editor, Senator Nelson almost single handed opposes all the other big newspapers. The same thing holds good in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland
 and a dozen other big progressive states. The large daily newspapers are almost unanimously opposed to any change in existing political con- ditions or to any genuine peoples rule if it can be prevented.

RACES BETTER THIS YEAR THAN
 EVER |S BILLIARDS STATEMENT
ATTORNEY GENERAL BACK THE AUTOMOBILE DEALERS REGARDING DESERT RACE AND THINKS IT WILL BE GREAT. SAYS WILL BE FIFTEEN CARS IN IT,

Phoenix, Aug. 6.-"There will be at least fifteen cars in the next Phoe- nix race, and look for the greatest contest that has ever been held any where between racing automobiles. y Thus spoke Attorney General Bullard today. MT. Bullard has just returned from Los Angeles, where he did his usual amount of work with the auto dealers, to insure the success of the desert classic.
 '"The purse this year will amount to $6,5OO, and will be divided 65 per cent 10 the winner, 9 per cent to second and 10 per cent to third. Of this amount $2500 will be raised by the towns between Los Angeles and Yu- ma, and $2O00 in Phoenix. In addition to this there will be at least fifteen cars entered, each one of which must pay an entrance fee of $10O. This money will also be added to the purse added Mr. Bullard.
 "The course this year will not be through San Diego, for the simple reason that the people there do not seem to care to assist in making our race a success unless they get all the advertising and glory from it." he added. In other words it appears that San Diego will not invest cent to assist a neighboring city unless it is apparent that there money will be returned a hundred fold.

Then followed the four con- traband celestials, and behind them at a distance was the other guide.
 By the time the rear guide had crossed the line and was in a situa tion to be intercepted to prevent his escape across into Mexico, the leading guide had passed the second party of inspectors some distance, and the Chinamen were right abreast of them.
