The copper era and Morenci leader., 1913-12-19

On Christmas morning Frederick Allison was somewhat surprised when his wife handed him a small plush case, saying:
 "There, dear, is a set of things that you probably didn't think of when you were buying everything you thought l might possibly want to give you for a present. You don't need them yet, but you probably will some day, and thought it would be nice to get them now, seeing that they were offered at a bargain
 He opened the case, looked at the set of teeth it contained and said:
 Lets go to breakfast. I want to bite into something."- :

Ezz:aEak AeYsaax9l Ysax9l A MEMORABLE TREAT

HE colonel sat comfortably in his chair and gazed dreamily through a hay cloud of Hav- ana at the Christ mas crowd. .
 "Ha-ha!. colonel. At last I've found you looking sad!" And a friend who had come up from behind and slapped him affectionately on the shoulder pulled a big chair

alongside and sat down. The colonel leaned farther back in the enveloping leather and a volley of expanding rings poured from beneath the carefully trimmed white mustache.
 |, = That" he said, with a wave of his hand toward the throngs, ."set me to thinking of how in my country school days we big, bad boys sometimes locked the teacher out to make him give us a Christmas treat. At the precise moment you soaked me on the shoulder I was thinking of the time we. locked out our teacher. We noti- fled him, 8 week beforehand that we expected him to give us a nice, sub stanttal treat when school let out as we said, on Christmas eve. He had been good-natured fellow and had succeeded in keeping on good terms with us scamps in spite of us, so as we wanted. for the reason, to let him of as easily as possible we specified only a box of oranges and a box of candy.
 "'I'1l think about it, he said, laugh ing, and we supposed it was as good as agreed to.
 So when on the morning of Christ mas Eve day MT. Teacher arrived without anything that possibly could contain treat, we were hurt-doubly hurt to think that supposed friend would treat us SO. We silently waited till the noon hour, and when lunch cons had been hurriedly gulped. two of us were detailed to get him away from the school house on some pre- text or other. They succeeded, but he didn't stay long, as it was a cold day and there was snow. When he found the door locked he rattled the knob and called:
 "'Open the door, please! It is I, MT. G@!'
 Sorry one of the boys replied through the keyhole, but you'll have to give us a Christmas treat before we let you in
 "'Come, boys, come,' he said stern. ly. It is too cold for joking. Let me in at once!'
 We're not joking; we yelled back We want a treat. Go to the store and get a big box of oranges and a big box of candy and have them here for us this afternoon, and we'll open the door. Or, if you'll promise on your word of honor, we'll let you in.'
 For answer he pounded on the door and thundered:
 Boys, I order you to open this door! Will you obey me" /
 "'Treat!' was our ultimatum.
 "Followed several minutes of silence and suspense, then he called to us:
 Well, boys, I suppose the be sieger instead of the besieged will have to surrender. You may open the door. I will treat
 "The door was opened slowly, eau tiously, for we were doubtful, almost distrustful, but he was milling.
 "It is all right, boys he assured us I have promised. We might as well close now till after the New Years holiday. While am going for

bobSled, drawn by a big, irOn-gray horse, gay with slefgh-bells, glided up before the schoolhouse door. MT, Teacher, looking as pleasant as any of us, jumped out and said:
 Here you are! am going to leave you to yourselves to enjoy your treat, he explained, as he hastily fastened the window shutters and shut up the stove. He then locked the door and put the key in his pocket. By that time the boys had unloaded the boxes and MT. C. at once resumed his seat on the sled.
 "'Merry Christmas to all!' he shouted.
 "'The same to you!' we chorused.
 We immediately assailed the boxes. The lid came off the box marked oranges first, and one was grabbed and the tissue wrapping re moved. Then there was a wild yell Potatoes! Nothing but old potatoes!'
 We glanced sheepishly at the big girls who were holding their breath. In a tremor of dread we took the top of the box labeled candy. Oh, utterly shattered hopes! The box was full of nice white candles!"
 The ample shoulders and girth of the colonePs friend shook freely.

formed her, to last him all winter. Then it was that the iron entered Jul liet Allison's soul. She decided to give up the idea of making her husband Christmas present that would be in any wise distinctive. She would mere Iy get him a pair of gloves and per haps few handkerchiefs. Hardly had she adopted this resolution, however. before he turned to her saying:
 '1 happened to be in Witherspoon's this afternoon to get some shirts, and I thought I might as well lay in sup ply of gloves, handkerohiefs and sus. penders. They'll probably be sent out tomorrow"
 'I'm so glad," replied Juliet "You need gloves and handkerchiefs, too. Of course, I don't know so much about your suspenders, and I suppose you bought all the half-hose you'll"
 "Yes, I forgot to mention that got a dozen pair"
 "And you have all the cuff buttons and studs and such things that you need, haven't you?"
 Enough to last me lifetime"
 She went back to her chair and sat for a long time gazing at the flames which f1ickered around the gas log The daily paper was lying on the table at her elbow, and her glance at length fell upon some large black letters which presently resolved themselves into words. Then she read this adver- tisement:

 It was on the following evening that Frederick Allison suddenly turned to his wife, after dinner, saying:
 .s "Oh, Juliet, want to show you fob that I bought for myself today. It's just the thing I've been wanting for long time"
 Juliet's enthusiasm over 1t was much forced, as her husband might easily have seen, and perhaps did see. After they had dropped the subject she hap pened to glance at his scarfpin and new joy sprang up within her. She would get him a scarfpin for Christ mas, for his old one was rather out of style and never had been an expensive one. anyway.
 By the way, dear," said Allison the next evening, T bought something to- day that I'd like to have you look at."
 Of course, 1t was a scarfpin. Juliet knew it would be the moment she saw the tissue paper package which he f1shed out of his vest pocket She pre- tended, with a brave heart, to think it was very pretty, but she fancied that she could have made a better selection if he had only permitted her to have the chance.
 At the office Allison had told the boys of the splendid plan he had hit upon for the purpose of keeping his wife from buying impossible things in the shape of Christmas presents for him, and it was with great satisfaction that he reported day after day how he was progressing.
 Christmas was only a week away and Juliet lay awake long time that night trying to think what present she could get for her husband. There were the new books, but he had in- formed her that he didn't want books. They had all the standard works in the library, and he never read any of the modern novels. An, happy thought

PONY MAN
Every Vote Will Be Needed-Ad-
yises Contestants to Work in
the Evenings.

How many votes will it take to
win? is a question frequently asked
by candidates in The Georgian and
American pony contest.
The answer is that it will take as
many as the candidates can rake and
scrape together by July 81. Certainly
il will take few more than your
nearest competitor has, and your
nearest competitor is going to get
just as many as he possibly can, and
probably ne is as active and as ener-
getiC and has as many friends as
YOU.
Subscriptions secured now are
worth so much more than they viii
be in a few days, when the bonus Of
fer expires, that you can afford to
waste no time.
Here is a suggestion from a con-
testant who is making a splendid
showing:
Don't stop when evening comes
Evening is one Of the best times for
getting subscriptions. After the late
meal you will find the man of the
house at home. and at leisure. Per.
hape he will be reading the newspa,
proach him, for he will not be in such
a hurry to be rid Of you as he would
be in business hours. Use the tele-
phone to tell him you are coming"
one phase Of the contest which
seems to be misunderstood by many
of the contestants is holding back
votes. II does not pay. II has been
said that all the world loves a lover,
and it is equally true that all the
world loves a winner. Suppose you
have 100 900 votes in hand, and have
voted but 1900 of them. Your name
is at the bottom of the list, while the
leader has voted his fully 10000 It is
natural for anyone you approach to
think that you have no chance, and
no one likes to back a loser. If, on
the other hand you show that you
are right up in the running, every
one will feel more inclined to assist

5-YEAR SECRECY
PHTHISIS CURE
INGREDIENT
"COntratoxin" Is Name Of New
Alleged Remedy for COnsump-
tion-DisCoverer Modest.

LONDON, June 24.-Dr. Frederick
Mehnarto. of Heidelberg, who is now
residing in London. announces in the
latest issue Of the Lancet, the par
ticUlars of a new alleged consump-
ton cure discovered by him and call
ed 'contratoxin."
Two hundred patients are now ap-
parently cured, he asserts, after hav-
ing been treated with this injection
at the Margaret Street and Mount
Vernon hospitals. All Of the patients
were pledged to secrecy before the
experimenting began.
The doctors at the Margaret Street
Hospital, who have been applying the
treatment positively refuse to give
any information or details, as they
do not consider that the treatment
has yet had a fair trial
DIR. Mehnarto writes:
"COntratoxin consists of the blood
plasma Of various animals mixed in
proportions calculated to produce a
lytic action on various micro organ
isms without reducing zysis of the
human red corpuscles. In the pro-
duction Of contratoxin advantage is
taken Of the fact that some reptilian
plasmas act as haemolytic agents,
while others act as coagutant agents.
The practical value of this fact is
that when horses or sleeps blood
is sensitized by a combination of both
types Of reptilian plasma the red
corpuscles are no longer capable of
being dissolved by distilled water and
at the same time the blood becomes
powerfully bacteriolytic."
