The Hussars.

The Hussars, the third number of
the Lyceum course, were il Meade
Wednesday evening. For time ii
was thought thu the company
would be unable TO get here, oI, ac-
count of The bad condition of the
roads, but about five o'clock a mes
sage was received that they were on
No. [ which was SIX hours late.
This information was rapidly cir
culated aud at eight. thirty the lar
gest audience that had been il at
tendance at any number of the
course, had assembled. The at
traction was unusually good and
well rendered.
Two members of the company,
Mr.. Cragun, the trap drummer, and
Mr.. Ingram Forde, the cornetist
we're known to some of our people.
Mr.. Cragun is Kingman boy and
is an acquaintance of J r. Watson
and wife and school mate of Prot.
Hamilton, vile Mr.. Ford, an En-
poria boy, is a school mate of H.
X. Jones.
As we stated above, the attraction
was unusually good, but the one
member of the company who early
in the evening became the favorite
of the audience, was Mr.. Ingarm
Forde. He gave a reading, sang,
led the band, was responsible for all
the wit and humor of the entertain
ment, and in fact, was the most i'm
portant member of the company.
This attraction was secured by
the Arena Club alta great expense,
and they are to be congratulated on
selecting this number.

gins its thirteenth year. Twelve
years ago (January IL 1900
IN the building just south of the
Stevens Watson Mercantile Co,
on an old Washington Hand
Press, the first issue of The
News was printed. At that time
it was edited by J. d, Wchrle,
now of the Center (Colorado)
Post Dispatch.
The plant remained in the
same building until 1905 when
due to the fact that the building
was too small, the present loca-
tion was purchased and the plant
moved. Here, under the same
management it continued to pros
per until 1909 when it was sold
to stock company and on June
3rd of that year Incorporated.
AT that time the old hand press
was replaced with Babcock
Reliance and other new equip
ment added, which has made
The News Office one of the best
equipped offices in this section
of the state. The politics of the
paper we're at that time changed
from Democratic to Independent
The News has always enjoy
ed its share of patronage, has
always endeavored to give you
full value for every dollar paid,
prints all the home news, and
stands for the betterment and
upbuilding of Meade and Meade
county.
The year just closed mas been
most prosperous one, and our
prosperity is only measured byI
the amount of patronage given
us by our patrons, so when we
say The News has had a pros
porous year, it is our patrons
whom we must thank. This we
do. We appreciate your patron
age, be it every so little, for it
has been said that in this life i'll
is the little things that count.
1t is the intention Of the man
to treat everyone fair;
if we make an error we are ready |
to correct it; we extend to every
one the same kind consideration
which we appreciate having eX-
tended to us. We are all human i
and all have feelings, and since
It requires no greater effort to
say something good than the re-
verse, and since good word has
50 much the better effect, it is
the policy Of The News to say
good word If such can conscien-
tiously be said, and if not, to say
nothing.
In conclusion we desire to
again thank all those who have
in any way contributed toward
the support of The News in the
past and ask that you continue
your same liberal support in the
future. We will continue to eX-
tend to you the same courtesies
in the future that we have in the !
past and trust that the coming
year may prove to be q most
prosperous one for each and
every one of our patrons.

ARIZONA DEFENDED
 BY CALIFORNIA POET
Postmaster J. w. Wood of Pasadena Gives Utterance to His Senti-
 ments in Verse

J. w. Wood, the postmaster of Pasadena, Cal, is a pretty good plugger for Arizona even if he does not live in the state, and resents like a native some of the harsh things said about the state by the erstwhile tourist writers who pass through it and just see enough of it to get the local color for a good hard knock. Recently he was passing through the state on a train and picking up the Atlantic Monthly found a long whine written by a pessimist who sought the sunny cline of the southwest to | recover the health destroyed by his previous life in New England. The arraignment of Arizona was so caus- tic MT Wood was outraged and seiZ- ing a pen, he summoned his muse and wrote. mid the roar of rumblinS wheels, the following verse which he forwarded to Postmaster McClintock of this city. Mir. McClintock has passed it along for publication: You kin talk about New England, with it's fields and runnin' brooks In the most highfalutin' language which is found in fancy books;
 
 the shady windin' lanes, Until you've throwed and branded 'em with heaps of fancy names; But just give me Arizony with its everlastin' hills
 An your welcome to your Draggin' an a putin on the frills; For if this here ain't Gods own country. then it's surely close of kin An I've never seen no better, least wise nowhere that I've been Just to sit on quiet evenin's and to watch the twilight glow Of the sunset on the mountains as the orb of day falls low, An to watch the evenin' glories as God paints them on the hills Oh, it makes me glad I'm livin.' just to feel them tender thrills! Maybe rattlesnakes ain't comp'ny for tender-footed guy,
 But to me they seem real friendly when no other compn'y's by; And I like to hear the scamper of the lizards OCT the sand. For they surely love to frolic in the sunshine of this land.
 But say. about the climate, Just permit me for tO show That THIS hits us fine and dandy. if you really want to know! For we've any kind to suit you. be it cool or be it hot. Which jest goes to show our system, which we play it quite a lot. Cause there's some that's never sat isfied. no matter how We try An I've even hearn some people claim that AriZony's dry, Gut this jest shows their foolishness, and of course I won't complain. For I've heerd of other places which are 'ncedin' far more rain, But anyway you find 'em it's fer me to tell you SO

story The name Frank Sells ap- pears both in the head and in the body of the story. Now, there is no Frank Sells" in Phoenix. so far as The Re publican knows. So far as this paper is informed. there never was such man here. At all events there certain ly never was such a man as the one here depicted.
 Then, gentle reader. just take off the first letter and the last letter from the name and what do you have?
 Rank Sell.
 | That is what was perpetrated on the Gazette.
 And this Frank Sells Crank selD came from "Waterloo." Waterloo, you know. is a synonym for disaster. But the Gazette never "tumbled."
 once more, it is to laugh.
 Then, take The Republican story again The first word in the first par agraph is another; the first word in the second paragraph is rank; and the first word in the third paragraph is fake"
 Put them together and what do you have?
 Another Rank Fake"
 That is what the Gazette-the i'm maculate pulls paper"-has per petrated
 Once again, there was no Frank Sells; there was no highwayman; there was no hold-up at Fifth avenue nor anywhere else; Frank Sells didn't give up 20 cents; he didn't have $25 lin the watch pocket of his trousers: the highwayman didn't shove a gun into his face; Frank Sells didn't re- port the story to the police, because there was no Frank Sells and no story to report.
 But the Gazette stole that story from The Republican and gave it to it's readers, believing it to be true.
 Will the GaZette-the 'peepurs pa per'-do what The Republican is do- ing? Will it inform it's readers that the story is a fake? Will it do what any decent newspaper would do-will 1t apologize to it's readers for It's wretcheJ hypocrisy? Will it admit, what has been absolutely demonstrat- ed. that it consistently engages in the practice of lifting stories from the columns of The Republican?
 Does the Gazette call this sort of business honorable? It is selling pa pers to it's readers and taking money for those papers. It professes to give the news That is what it's patrons think they are buying. It would be in teresting to know just what standard of honesty actuates a publisher who deliberately pliers the news from the columns of another paper and sells that news as the product of his own efforts.
 Of course the Gazette way Is the cheap way; but is it the honest way?

And what do the Gazette readers think about it, anyhow?
 And here's an apology to the chief of police. The "highwayman" story was used not because it is the chiefs business to look out for high waymcn, but because The Re publican desired to publish - for once-the rankcst fake it could think of. If it had been dealing with a real journal and not the larcenous pee pui's paper" it would have used an other kind of yarn.
