MRS. THOMAS
 LAID TO REST

Last Friday, December, Eth, Mrs. Minnie Thomas. wife o1 Charles Thomas, died in Phoenix of Menicial Exhaustion.
 The deceased was only a little more than thirty-two years o1 age, and the mother of five chil- dren; all of whom survive her.
 She was kind neighbor, g faithful and confding wife, g tender and loving mother. and was exceedingly popular among her hosts of friends and acquain- tances who deeply mourn her premature death.
 The funeral was held Sunday from the parlors of the Metho- dist church and was one of the largest attended funerals ever held in Holbrook.
 Mrs. Thomas was placed in a beautiful silver grey embossed plush casket, lined with a rich boscue silk lining. The deceased was robed in a beautiful grey silk dress, and as she lay in the casket looked as natural as though she were peacefully sleep ing.
 The funeral services were con ducted by Rev Gr. Ross of the Methodist church, who preached a touching and tender sermon after reading an appropriate les son from. the 14th Chapter of John, the 1st to 3rd verses:
 Let not your heart be troub- led: ye believe in God believe al- so in me. In my fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. And if go to prepare a place for you. will come again and receive you unto my self; that where I am ye may be also. "
 The pail bearers were w. B. Cross, w. F. Williams, s. D. Smith, Dick Grigsby, J. w. Lockhart and Owe E. Overson.
 The remains were carried to the Holbrook cemetery, where interment was made.
 The casket was laden with beautiful flowers, brought by the friends of the deceased. It could truly be said that ''she slept be- meath a canopy of roses. .
 The services at the grave were brief, simple and impressive. {, In this trying hour of darkness and sorrow, the host of friends of MT. Thomas and family ex- tend to them through The News the warm hand of sympathy. MT. Thomas is one of the ener- getic and progressive cattlemen of Holbrook. and the premature death of his wife was a blow to him which few who have not ex- perienced such trials can appre- ciate.
 To the family we can but say: Let not your hearts be troubled; for in our Fathers house there are many mansions.
 J. W. Lockhart.

SCHOOL NOTES OF
 SPECIAL INTEREST

The intermediate and grammar rooms are rivals in the matter of attendance. December 1st and End both had perfect attendance,
 but December 9th the interme- diate had a perfect record while the grammar room had tardy mark as we'll as absences.
 Raymond Parks, of the third grade has moved with his parents to Colorado. Lloyd Rhoton has taken bis place in the third and Don Rhoton has enrolled in the first grade in the same room. The boys came from Snowflake. The second grade have finished memorizing My Shadow" by Robert Louis Stevenson. and have studied a brief review of hls life.
 In a memory contest in the third grade between the boys and the girls. the girls won. and May Smith made 100 for the week of December Is, not re- quiring prompting during the week.
 In the north primary room, in a recent test in spelling, Wm. Smith, Charlie Thomas, Arthur Sharp, and Claude Despair made 100.
 Henry Sharp, of the second grade. who has been sick, is back at work again.
 The Budget, a well-known school journal, has an interesting article this month under the title "Over and Under Pressure in Getting Results. We copy parts of it:
 One thing is certain-every student should he taxed well up toward the limit of his capacity. He should realize that he is ex- pected to work, and that he must dig if he would not fail. This IS in opposition to the idea, so prom inent in recent years, that work should be made easy for the stu dent. Mental strength and pow CT are never developed from the performance of easy work 7 Physical exercise under stress is commended because it not only toughens the muscles, but it puts grit into the mental fibre of the man or woman. It strengthens the will; it steadies the emotions, and it tempers judgement. Men tai exercise under stress has the same resultant characteristics. A schoolroom without a strong element of push in it does not amount to much.
 The teacher who is selecting easy things for his courses in the different subjects is not fit for his job. He is not training for easy jobs. The person nowa- days who is fit to hold a position that is worth while must have sand in his composition, and should bear that Tn mind.
 They forget that strength comes only from honest endeavor and that the honest effort, even f it is followed by failure, adds additional power to the next eff fort, and that only by overcom- ng difficulties that results worth while are accomplished.
 This doctrine is as old as the eternal hills, and it is as sound Is the eternal foundation on which they are built.

CONSTITUTIONALIST LEADER STATES HIS STAND TO COY.
 HUNT


 of the correspondence between the Governor and General Car ranza:
 November IT, 1913. My dear General and Friend:
 The fact that 1 so highly value your friendship and regard you as a great leader bent upon ren- dering distinct service to your country and to the cause of civ ilization leads me, at this time, to address you, not in my official capacity as Governor, but as a private citizen of Arizona, con- corning a matter which, undoubt- edly. heretofore, has had your serious consideration. 1 refer to the unfortunate circumstances which recently attended the cap ture of the City of Juarez by a detachment of your Constitution alist forces under General Villa, when the officers in command of the defeated Federal garrison were led forth and summarily executed. Aside from the fact that the execution of these off, cers is wholly out of accord with the accepted tenents of civilized nations. another very important consideration is that occurrences of this character. if repeated would have the effect of horrify- ing the American people a revul- sion of feeling that would inevit. ably rebound to the disadvantage of yourself and of the Constitu- tionalist cause in Mexico so far as it related to the citizenthip of the United States.
 The reasons above stated have caused me to deeply deplore the execution of the Federal officers at Fl Paso and to feel the utmost solicitude last the cause of inde- pendence in Mexico, as repre- sented by the Constituencies, shall be weakened or jeopardized by what apparently was General Villas ill-advised action in not according all of his captives the mercy and immunity from bodily harm that is almost universally conceded to prisoners of war.
 I fully realize the delicacy in- volved in the presentation of the foregoing statements, but be as- sured. my dear General, that the course have pursued is actutat- ed solely by my friendship for yourself and my ardent desire to see the right prevail in Mexico and the yoke of tyrany removed from a heavily burdened people under the wise leadership of such a noble patriot and brave com mander as YOU have proved your self to be.
 Any change of public senti- ment affecting your cause ad- versely. and resulting from an indiscretion of one of your sub ordinates, would be adjudged a public calamity. and a matter of deep personal regret by myself and likewise by many others among your sympathizers in this State.
 In this connection I would sug- gest, furthermore, that a state ment concisely expressing your attitude towards prisoners of | war and issued by you as soon as possible for publication Tn the press of the United States, would | undoubtedly have the effect of correcting to a great extent any impression that might prevail , among the people of the United | States to the effect that the re- cent executions at the City of | Juarez wsre authorized or sane toned by you as the leader of the Constitutionalist forces in Mexi- co.

The Importance of uncon-
scious personal influence is
better shown by Illustration
than by argument. A profess
sor was once walking
through the streets. at night
when he heard a boy in a
back yard drumming. Being
naturally fond of rhythm, he
fell into step and marched up
the hill to the little fellows
drumbeat. Then the thought
came to him, He doesn't
know what l am doing, yet 1
am keeping step to his mu-

be setting the pace" to lives
we know little about.

Paris, April 24.-Here is
the latest French idea of a
tailored suit.
The coat is the latest fash
ion idea taken from the Chin
csc. These short bobbed-off
mandarin coats, as they
are called-are one of the
smartest notes of the spring
season. This saucy little
jacket, with its crossed ties
of Chinese embroidery, is
made of brilliant red cloth
with trimmings of white
braid and colored buttons.
The draped skirt of white
serge material is managed
most skillfully, the pleats at
the hip giving an effect of
fullness while at the foot all
this fullness miraculously
fades away. Buttoned boots
of patent leather with gray
suede tops accompany this
costume.
A black and white parasol
and a white hat lined with
black velvet and trimmed
with. a brush of ostrich feath-
ers makes this costume par
ticuIarIy chic.

upon his desk. He need not start for
half an hour, or there would be that
much waiting at the station, and he
preferred the silence of his Office. It
seemed like fate, this accident, for he
had not expected to see Mary again
for months, if ever.
They had been married two years,
and had no child. If one had come

ture unkind, but he had spent long
years of selfish bachelorhood, and he
was devoted to his fixed habits Mary
was seven years younger; they had
never managed to adjust themselves
to each other. They had quarreled
over the merest trifles, and their dis
agreements always left them unre-
pentant and moody.
How she had loved him before their
marriage, thought Cleave, as he sat
at his desk. Then she had stTiven at
first to make him happy! And he,
too, had tried hard to be good to her,
for Mary was very lOvable and sweet.
But at last they had both given up
in despair. Cleave would always re-
member the words she had said to
him that night, three months before:
Il can forgive you, John, and love
you, but the memory Of these two I'M
happy years must always be with me.
1t can never be quite the same again.
And after that everything had
seemed hopeless. Things had gone
from bad to worse. And finally they
had decided that Mary should go
back to her mother, to spent the sum-
mer with her. There was to be no
scandal. Their friends had no inkling
of the condition of affairs, but
thought them a devoted couple. They
would separte quietly, to resume
their relationship in the fall if, after
mature consideration, they decided
that such an arrangement would be
for the best. Mary had been on her
way to the station when the accident
happened.
Suddenly there swept over him a
fuller realization than had ever be-
fore come to him of his selfishness.
He had ruined her life, he had killed
her love. Not the blindest and most
devoted love could have survived his
caIlous cruelty and Indifference. If
he could only have one chance more!
He sprang to his feet and hurried

An Addition.
Editor of The Banner:

Editor of The Banner:
In the, paper which you published
last week, "Some Famous Sons OF
Dorchester" tho name of Mr.. John
E. Hurst was inadvertently omitted,
owing to the fact that the history
and biography consulted failed to
state that he was born in Dorches-;
ter county. This being the case,
however, it gives me great pleasure
to add his name to the list, as Mr.
Hurst probably did more for the
county, financially, than any other
person in its history. Although most
of his life was spent in Baltimore,
his native county held first place in
his affections, and he was always
ready to respond to any appeal In
behalf of church, education or phil
anthropy. Mr.. Hurst rendered
valuable assistance in the repairs
and improvements to "Old Trinity"
Church some years ago, and con-
tributed literally to funds which
were raised for Christ Church fur
nishings. He gave the first one
hundred. volumes for the Cambridge
Library, which was organized by
the Woman's Club, and encouraged
them to further effort. By his wise
counsel and financial assistance the
present desirable site of the Cam
bridge-Maryland Hospital was Sc
cured, and by his generous gifts
and splendid bequest the beautiful
building and equipment were made
possible. He was a liberal, broad!
minded, Christian gentleman, whose
great wealth was consecrated to the
service of his fellowmen, and COM
ing years will only add to the high
honor and regard in which his name
Is held in Dorchester county.

ONE-LEGGED MAN
 SMASHES PATRCILMAN
Policeman Merry is Knocked to Pave. ment and He Retaliates With
 His Billy"

When Patrolman Pat Henry at tempted to arrest John Evans, a TO- bust white man who has only one leg, last night about 12:30 o'clock, Evans, without asking any questions or say ing word, knocked the officer down, bruising him up.
 Henry immediately jumped to his feet, however, and in turn knocked Evans down with his club, inflicting a painful gash over the left cheek bone.
 The man, who was intoxicated and who was arrested on this charge, con- tinued to fight until he was locked up in the jail. He will undergo trial this morning, charge of disturbing the peace being docketed against him in addition to the charge of drunken ness. His injuries are not serious.
