THE ARRIVAL OF JACK FROST
How Queen Rose Warned Her Subjects
Against His Bitterness.

1t was late in the month of Septem-
Der when Queen Rose summoned her
subjects to tell them something very
important. They came quickly, and
when they were all comfortably seated
at the foot of her throne she spoke to
them in a low, sweet voice.
MY dear, loyal people," she said,
'let me warn you against a very wick
ed man who is soon going to come and
destroy every one of us that he can
find. His name is Jack Frost"
at the mention of this name the poor
little flowers shivered for fright, but
the Rose claimed them.
"Never mind, He shall never find
u.s. she said. His chilly, icy fingers
shall not touch US if you will do as
say.
"Soon the snow will begin to fall,
and if each of you will make sure to
nestle down and hide beneath the soft,
warm fakes Jack Frost will never find
you"
The good flower children obeyed their
queen, and when Jack Frost did come
clustering about, searching in every
nook and corner for them, they were
all cozy and warm underneath the
swansdown blankets of spotless white
snow. The louder Mr.. Frost howled
the faster and Ticker the snow fell
and the more the flowers were hidden
from this naughty fellow.
By and by spring came. bringing
bright sunshine with her. And cold

north
Then the warm sun rays melted the

Episcopal General Convention.


Trustees of the Cathedral of St John
the Divine, New York. have taken the
first step toward preparing for the
Episcopal general convention, which
meets in New York in October of 1913.
They have started work on a synod
hall to cost 100000. located on the
southwest corner of the cathedral
grounds, at Amsterdam avenue and
One Hundred and Tenth street. The
architectural effect will be like that of
the cathedral, and the material will be
stone, with some brick of light
shade.
There will be n main hall seating
800, small committee rooms and a
hall that will be used for banquets.
While built at this time to prepare for
the general convention. it is to be of
use to the diocese permanently for the
holding of banquets. mass meetings
hall and annual meetings of the dioc-
esan convention. ]. Pierpont Morgan
is chairman of the general convention
committee on location, and it was he
who recommended New York at the
last convention as the meeting place
in 1913. 1t is stated that he will as
sist in defraying the cost of the new
hall.
The present synod hall will be used
during the convention and will then
be torn down to make room for the
south transept of the new cathedral.

SYSTEM IN MENDING.
Adopt 1t and You Will Feel the Home
Burden Lighter.

There is nothing on earth like sys-
tenn, and nowhere do you realize this
more than in matters of dress The
tiny hole in your stocking that you
might have mended in two minutes
grows into an undarnable rum; the
rip under the arm in your new blouse
extends alarmingly; nothing that must
be mended stays where it is put
The remedy for all this is regular
mending day or regular mendlnS
evening if you are a business woman
AS soon as a garment needs mendlnS,
if it be only a button or hook that
must be replaced, put it aside unless 1t
is so necessary that you must attend to
the trouble at once, and when mendlnS
day rolls around do the required sew
ing. You will be surprised to find how
much lighter your work becomes when
YOU can thus catch rents and tears at
their start instead of at their dlsas-
trous finish The other point to re-
member is always to have your sew
ing implements where you can get
them and in perfect order.

FIRST WILL EVER WRITTEN.
Ono Found In Egypt Holds Record.
Other Ancient Documents

Some OF the most ancient wills in
the world are described by Virgil NJ.
Harris. According to Mr.. Harris. the
Mussulman claims that Adam himself
left Will and that seventy legions of
angels brought him paper and pens all
the way from paradise and that the
Archangel Gabriel set his seal to the
document
1t is also recorded that Noah left a
will. He divided the known world at
that time into three parts and left one
to each of his sons.
There exists curious and ancient
testament of Job discovered and pub
lished by Cardinal Mai in 1889. says
the New York Sun. In it Jobs faith
full wife when reduced to the lowest
depths of poverty is represented as
having sold her hair to procure bread
for her husband.
Jacob. the third of the Hebrew patri-
archs, died in Egypt at the age of 147,
but was buried by his sons in the cave
of Machpelah. at Hebron. in Palestine.
the traditional burial place of the
prophets and other Biblical characters
of their time.
1t can be stated that the very ear
lest reference to an actual testament
patriarch:
"And Israel said unto Joseph, Be
hold, 1 die, but God shall be with you
and bring you again unto the land of
your fathers.
Moreover, I have given to thee one
portion above thy brethren, which 1
took out of the hand of the Amorite
with my sword and with my bow.
"And Jacob called unto his sons and
said, Gather yourselves together that
1 may tell you that which shall befan
you in the last days.
In the forty-eighth and forty ninth
chapters of Genesis are these words of
the dying patriarch, and here is found
not only the disposition of portion
to Joseph, but the character of each
son is shown, the virtue or fault of
each described, to each a symbolic en-
blem is assigned. and to each a future
is prophesied. Here is a will in fact
and in prophecy.
William Matthew Flinders Petrie,
the English Psychologist, unearthed at
Kahum a will which was $500 years
old. There seems no reason to ques-
ton its authenticity or antiquity. The
will therefore antedates all other
known written wills by almost 1000
years.

Towels of Paper.

Absorbent paper towels are useful
not only for the automobiliSt and tray-
eler who occasionally finds himself
with scanty toilet outfit, but they are
also of the greatest use in the kitchen
for drying green salads and vegetables
after washing them, for draining fried
foods, for wiping the fish or chicken
after it's cleansing and a hundred other
purposes. A roll of the towels in the
kitchen for the ordinary uses of a
towel have the advantage of always
being clean and of saving laundry.

had appeared before the committee on
Indian affairs regularly for years, and
the members of that committee had be-

Two or three years ago Uncle Sam
issued mandate to the effect that the
Indians in the future should take unto
themselves but one wife. explains Lip

the committee, told its members that
many of the men of his tribe had
more than one wife. He was admon-
ished to go home and tell them that
this condition of affairs could no longer
exist and that the surplus wives must
be sent home to their parents.
Last session Parker again appeared
before the committee, and the follow
ing conversation took place between
him and a committeeman:
Ibid you tell your bucks that they
must have but one wife, Parker %
Yes, me tell 'um," responded the In

VELVETS NOW THE GO.
Fashion Runs to Soft Material In After
noon and Evening Frocks.

noon ana Evening frockS.
The evolution of velvet is one of the
most interesting of the seasons dis
closures. There is nothing like it, is
the unanimous declaration of those
who have seen the wonderful sheen of
the supple, clinging velvet which seems
to have usurped the field of both even
ing and afternoon gowns and which
has been built into some of the smart
est street dresses and suits seen in
many a day
Not a trace of the old. rather heavy
and decidedly clumsy velvet of bygone
days remains. The new fabric has all
the clinging quality of chiffon, with
suppleness added. The handsomest
pieces are satin backed, the satin in
contrasting material. The paIest of
bronze greens with dull blue satin
back, rich golden brown and forest
green, deep crimson with gray, black
with royal purple or American Beauty
and navy with cherry red are among
the most striking of the combinations.
True, the double faced velvet is ex-
pensive, but it is worn absolutely with
out undermining or slip, and so is really
the price of two garments converged
into one. The material is made up to
show glimpses of the satin here and
there and requires very little trimming
There is the daintiest of the diapha-

Arizona Oranges First.

Three carloads of oranges were shipped to the eastern markets yesterday (Nov. 2O,) by the Ari zona Orange association of Phoe nix. This makes eight carloads that the association has shipped to date. Carload shipments will continue to go forward at the rate of about one a day until the 9th or 10th of December.
 This means that Arizona oran- ges will reach the markets be- fore Thanksgiving and be sold at the very top prices; it also means that the last of the crop will reach the markets before Christmas. All indications are that the growers will realize big profits from their crop.
 No California oranges have been shipped yet and there will be none on the Thanksgivi g market, because the crop is late in ripening. Pros pector.

State Highway Work December |.

Lamar Cobb, state engineer, who last week visited southern Arizona in the interest of the state highways, when in Tucson Saturday stated that it is the intention to begin work on the state highways in Pima county about December 1st, or at least begin making the actual plans for the work by that time.
 The $15, GOO for Pima county from the state fund will be due then and it can be used to i'm prove the state roads.
 It is said that the supervisors of Pima county intend to spend $5OOO of the money on the road between Tucson and COchise county, $5OOO on the road to No gales in Pima county, and $5OOO on the road to FlOrence. The law requires that this $15, ,OOO from the state fund be spent on the state highways, and the county roads must be cared for out of the fund the county has for this purpose.

Earhart Wins Last Heat.

Last Saturday the Supreme Court decided the ChenOweth- Earhart election contest, and now R. R. Earhart is in undis- puted possession of the office of treasurer Of Santa Cruz county, and he will receive his salary, which has been held up since he took office last February.
 At the election last December Earhart, Democrat, beat his opponent, Harry K. Chenoweth, b, Republican, by six votes, and Chenoweth contested the elect ion on the ground that the election at MOWry was illegal, because the election was not held in the building designated by the official notice.
 After Earhart had won all de cisions, even in the Supreme Court, Chenoweth's attorneys asked for a rehearing in the Su- preme Court, which request was refused last Saturday, and now MT. Earhart is in undisputed possession of the office for which he had to fight at great eX- pense.
 We congratulate both Treas urer Earhart and his attorney, Judge w. A. O'ConnOr.
