 Let the fun be unreStrained '" That seems to be the motto which the author had in mind when he constructed the playlet which is re- ceiving attention at the hands of the Bowker Musical Comedy Co and which received it's initial at the Empress last evening, to run for the balance of the week. At all events. the fun is unrestrained and joy reigns supreme during the atcion Of the bill. The scene is laid in a cafe The opportunity for amusing situa- tion is plenty in a cafe, and the members of the company take ad- vantage of them every one Claude Kelly is again up for an Irish char acter reading, which he does in the true Kelly style, which has made his engagement welcomed from his first appearance with the present company. As an Irish comedian Mr Kelly is hard to beat, and in this bill his quaint humor serves him well. Running MT. Kelly a close second, is MT. Lawson. Versatility seems to be MT.

VERDE FLOOD
 MENACE NOW
Instead of Blessing Work on Joint Head Dam in Stage Where High Water Would Work Severe Mis- chief

A rumored rise in the Verde having been proved false. Engineer Ad Far ish in charge of the construction work on the joint head dam, allowed his brow to smooth and he lighted a cigar from sheer relief. With water rising in the workings so it necessi- tates the almost constant use of two power centrifugal pumps, a flood in the river bed at this stage of the game would set the dam back weeks.
 Why cant those peslly floods be real and happen up on the water shed?" queried the worried engineer yesterday. And echo answered lisp mgly, T should-also like to know
 The trench in which the foundation structure of the new concrete joint head dam will lie is cen now brimful of water, and it takes the engines hours to get it cleared SO the muck CTS can get to the sand. In case of a rise in the Verde, too big to be handIed at the canal heads, and aI- lowed to go down on either side Of the river. it will be necessary to cut q flood by pass either through or around the present WoIk and to re- inforce the present dam with enough material to keep the bulk of the water off the temporary sand heap dams at the trench.
 Copious rains were reported at Roosevelt yesterday but the flood did not prove heavy enough to make an appreciabIe addition to the water bank. Light rains fell in several di- rcctiOns. and there was some talk of a cloudburst north and east If Phoe- nix. Tempe and Mesa were well moistened in the early hours of yes terday morning, though all Phoenix got was the echo. of the thunder that accompanied the storm.
 The gates at the dam are closed until there is but d tlicllIe of water coming down. This is to accommo- date the startling slackcEing in water use coming with the first Of tlfe month, the first of the official wear and the first of the executions of the closing down threats accompanying non payment of water service charges The outflow from the reservoir yes terday was but 113 acre feet. while the normal for the month has run around 2.50O to 29OO acre feet daiIv There is not more than the ordinary flow in the Verde. though there is quite large. service on both north and south sides.

IMPROVEMENT !. OF 1. A. RANCH
Board of Trade Contem- plates Radical Changes in Bureau in Coast City - Favors Support of State Commercial Bodies

The complete encouragement of the Los Angeles bureau of the Phoenix board of trade, it's strengthening by the addition of statewide support , and, finally, substantial additions to it's exhibit were all planned at the regular weekly meeting of the direc- tors of ther board of trade last night Realizing that the bureau is doing an immense good for the board. and that it's effects are felt throughout the state, the board decided last night to call a meeting of delegates from all the commercial organizations of the valley and state to consider enlarg- ing the branch as it's field demands.
 The exhibits maintained at the Los Angeles. branch have to compete for notice with the products of the en- tiEe< state of California, which con tains- regions that rival the Salt River valley for richness. Being nearer, it is much easier, for instance, for the farmers of the Imperial valley to dis play their cotton at the board of trade building and on Dr. Dennett's word, that cotton exhibit is q dandy, Said the doctor last night:
 "Phoenix ought to help supply a cotton exhibit for the branch office.
 
 the Los Angeles vicinity if we get some good material from the cotton planters. And that is just what I want to see done. Let the cotton growers get busy and send us some exhibits We will see it well placed in the gallery of products.n
 Tempe Bridge Opening
 The board accepted the invitation of the town of Tempe to be present at the opening of the Tempe bridge on october 14. Barbecue, speaking. bon fires and other forms of jolIity will be indulged in mildly by the south siders as a demonstration of joy over the opening of the last link of the route between the two cities
 Gates for the Central avenue rail road crossings were recommended by the board. which will put the matter up to the railroads
 The board will shortly issue regular nan-size certificates of membership the same to be hung in the offices of the owners, all same diplomas and chromos.

to duty, let me, in conclusion, Of this
hasty letter, inform you that nearly a
hundred years ago there was q day OF
remarkable gloom and darkness-still
known as the dark day, day when
the light Of the sun was slowly eXtin-
guished, as If in an eclipse. The leg
islature Of Connecticut was in session,
and as its members saw the unexpected
and unaccountable darkness coming
on they shared in the general awe and
terror. 1t was supposed by many that
the last day, the day Of judgment, had
come. Some one, in the CONSERVATION
Of the hour, moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan leg
islator, Davenport, Of Stamford, and
said that II the last day had come he
desired to be found at his place doing
his duty, and therefore moved that
candles be brought in so that house
could proceed with its duty.
There was quietness in that mans
soul, the quietness of heavenly wis
dom and inflexible willingness to pres
ent duty.
Duty, then. is the sublimest word
in our language. Do your duty in all
things like the old Puritan. You can

mother wear one gray hair for any
lack Of duty on your part. Your af-

Clothes and the Man.-It Is doubtful
IL Uncle Joe" Cannon ever owned a
silk hat. Nobody around Washington
remembers seeing him wear one. Next
to his cigar, nothing is quite so famil-
lar to his friends as the type Of black
soft hat which he has made famous.
It recalls an amusing incident that oc-
CURED in the old Arlington hotel a
few years ago.
Mr.. Cannon strolled into the place
one evening with his secretary, L.
White Busbey. Now It happened that
Busbey was always a good deal heavier
on dress than his chief. This particu-
lar night he was immaculate.
A man in the lobby was showing a
visitor the sights.
There's Uncle Joe Cannon" he
said, nudging the stranger.

Sailors Odd Customs.-The sailors
broad collars were devised so that the
jowder or tar on the wearers' queues
should not come off on the blouses. In
those days, says The Dundee Advertis-
er, every sailor wore his hair in a
queue, and either had the queue pow
dered or held together by tar. This was
not good for the blouse or jacket un-
derneath. So detachable broad collars
were added.
Sailors stopped wearing queues a
century ago. But they still wear the
wide collar. When Lord Nelson died
the British navy went into mourning
Cor him. Sailors put broad, black rib
bons on their caps and black rib
bons on their blouses. And the ribbons
remain to this day, not only on the uni
forms of British sailors, but on those Of
other navies as we'll
The broad bell-shaped ends Of sail
ors' trousers legs were thus shaped so
that the wearer might more easily turn
his trousers up above his knees when
he had to swab the decks. Deck swab-
bing was a hateful and supposedly de-
grading task. Hence the sailors called
their enemies "swabs" as a term Of
contempt.

His Son in 1852.
The death Of General G. W. c. Lee,
eldest son Of General r. e. Lee, chron-
icled in the Sun Of February 1s, re-
called to mind q private letter Of the
famous general written to this son,
under date of April s, 1852, when
Custis Lee was a cadet at the United
States military academy at West Point
and which was found at Arlington
House during the civil war. The let
ter throughout Is characterized by con-
ciseness, concinnity and clarity, and
on this account should find a place In
any anthology as a masterpiece OF
correct English and a model OF pa
rental character building advice:
Arlington House, April 5, 1852.
MY Dear Son-I am just in the act
of leaving home for New Mexico. Ny
old regiment has been ordered to that
distant region and I must hasten to
see that they are properly taken care
of. I have but little to add in reply
to your letters Of March 26, 81 and
2S. Your letters breathe q true spirit
Of frankness. They have given myself
and your mother great pleasure. You
must study to be frank with the world;
frankness is the child Of honesty and
courage. Say what you mean to do
on every occasion, and take 1t for
granted you mean to do right. II a
friend asks favor, you should grant
1t, II It Is reasonable; II not, tell him
plainly why you cannot. You will
wrong him and wrong yourself by
equivocation of any kind. Never do
wrong thing to make friend or keep
one; the man who requires you to do
so is dearly purchased at sacrifice.
Deal kindly, but firmly with your
classmates. You will find 1t the policy
which wears best. Above all, do not
appear to others what you are not. II
you have any fault to find with any
one, tell him. not others, Of what you
complain; there Is no more dangerous
experiment than that of undertaking
to be one thing before mans face
and another behind his back. We
should live, act and say nothing to the
injury of any one. It Is not only best
as a matter Of principle, but 1t is the
path Of peace and honor. In regard
