BRIDGES ID BE BUILT
 0N ORIGINAL SITES
Residents of Casa Crande and Florence Are Assured of This by Senator Ashurst
Special to The Review.)

FLORENCE, Feb. 1s.- Residents of the Casa Grande valley are now condent that the proposed bridges on the San Carlos Indian reservation will be built on the original sites chosen and not in the territory de- sired as a part of the San Carlos reservoir as has been sought by Gila and Graham counties. This feeling of assurance results in letters received from the two senators and represen- tatiyes in congress.
 The letter from Senator Ashurst Is identical with that received some time ago by the Commercial Club. Senatcr Smiths letter follows.
 T have noticed the action of the board of supervisors of Gila and Ora. ham counties concerning the proposed bridges across the San Carlos and Gila rivers. Congress passed a law. and 1t seems to me that the Indian agent at San Carlos Is trying to null. lify it. The matter of bridge across the river, or dozen bridges across 1t does not reach one-third the I'm. portance of the preservation of the reservoir site for future use of the Casa Grande valley. l shall insist, and have insisted. that these bridges be built where they will not interfere with the reservoir site"
 In a letter to E. w. Coker under date of February 5. Representative Carl Hayden writes.
 Indian agent at San Carlos has been stirring up some trouble by trying to cange the location of the bridges to be built across the San Carlos creek and Gila river. have been unable to get the expression out of the Indian office because they arc waiting for the San Carlos report and

 Then he spread the ferns and grasses upon the ground in soft. fat bed. and above it he leaned many branches to- gether so that they met few feet over its center. Upon these he spread lay CTS of huge leaves of the great ele- plants ear. and with more branches and more leaves he closed one end of the little shelter he had built

When Bacon wrote, "Reade not to

which most of US might we'll take to

speed is such an important element in
the daily round, this statement, with
all It's force and philosophy, is likely
to fall on deaf ears; for the reading

Ing a taste in general for learning, is
not prone to regard 1t as an art or a
matter for serious contemplation. Yet
this state Of things is to be deplored;
for what greater pleasure is there in
the whole field Of education than to
read a book critically, with the object
not only of getting out of it ali that its
author would convey, but to ponder his
reasoning? The advantages Of a
course of reading such as this may not
at the moment be apparent, but it Will

Sailing for Women.

Every year the number increases OF
women who can not only handle a boat
but who own their neat little craft,
enjoying this latest invasion into man
ly sports.
A group of New York women whose
husbands are members of the Bayside
Yacht club own a quaint little fleet of
sailboats known as the Butterfly
Fleet" each boat being named after a
butterfly, beginning with the YAM
essa" of Mrs. Willard McGregor,
whose husband designed the style OF
boat for his wife's pleasure after she
had learned to handle his catboat.
They are just large enough to hold
the skipper and n passenger, and
It is a pretty sight to see the minia-
ture feet assemble for a race.

Men pitied him because he was so blind.
They wondered why he neither saw nor
guessed;
His wife had woeful narrowness of mind,
And meager were the charms that she
possessed;
To petty jealousies she grlmly chung,
And there was venom on her busy tongue.
Men pitled him because he lacked the wit
To see how shamefully he was be-
trayed,
Because he was content to meekly sit
In silence while her meanness was dis
played,
Because through spite and jealousy and
hate
She caused his friends to leave him to his
fate.
Men pitied him because he lacked the
heart
To suffer through her tyranny no more;
But they were foolish thus to take his
part,
To think his case was one they might
deplore;
Within his corner silently he sat
And thought her something to be mar
veled at.

The heroism of the negro bellboys,
who fought with suffocating clouds of
| smoke while they rushed through mar
row Railways, banging upon doors,
arousing guests and rescuing small
children, probably averted serious loss
of life in a fire of mysterious origin
which threatened to completely de-
stroy the Hotel ellsworth at Atlantic
City, N. ].
Over three hundred guests suffered
heavy losses by the blaze, which swept
through practically the whole of the
fourth floor of the big, rambling frame
structure.
While the fire was at its height
dense clouds of smoke swept into the
dance hall on the Garden pier, three
squares away, where an audience of
fully 1000 people, including guests of
the Islesworth, who knew nothing of
the blaze at their stopping place, were
enjoying a moving-picture show. Some
n yelled fire and the audience
promptly stampeded for the doors. In
the intense excitement in the dark
ened hall forty m tainted and sew
eral were trampled on. while the
panic-stricke nN audience tried to reach
the exits.

The hair is waved and parted a little

waved portion is brought to the back

coils pinned fiat below the crown. The
hair over the ears is separated into
strands and curled in three rather
tight curls. A strand of pearls, fin
ished with three settings at the front,
is clasped round the head. Below it
across the forehead there is a slightly
curled fringe of hair.
Almost any fairly youthful face will
find all its good points enhanced by
a style of hair dressing so remarkably
good that it challenges the classic
models of the Greeks and divides hon

Fire Extlnouisher.

1t was quite by accident that the
discovery was made that ammonia
would extlnguish burning oil. A bot
tie of ammonia saved a family great
loss by fire. The gasoline stove
sprung a leak and the fluid caught fire,
spreading rapidly. One Of the older
children coming into the room could
not reach the sink and get water to
throw over the blaze as he thought
ought to be done, but had enough
presence of mind to pour owe 1t the
contents of an ammonia bottle that
stood near. AS 1t happened. 1t vas
the very best thing he could have
done, as 1t quickly extinguished the
fire which water could not do, Now
the family keeps ammonia On hand in
a two-quart sealed jar, anticipating the
time when it may be needed again
for the same purpose.

over her If that had been her way. 1t
was not and she ingenuously kept to
herself the belief that in her company
at least, when alone with her, Mr..
Joyce was a different person to what
he was amid a group of vain, admira-
ton seeking young ladies.
Rhoda was in charge Of a charity
committee and she had spent some de-
lightful hours telling her hopes and
troubles to an ardent listener and
sympathizer, Mr.. Joyce himself. They
were in perfect harmony. She had
noted his shyness disappearing and his
face brighten when they were togeth-
er.
Then, too, as they grew more friend
ly and confidential, the finer features
of the new minister's qualities had
come out. There was no silly ro-
manc between them. He evidently
craved her company and she was new
er happier than when they were to-
gether.
Then, n day when she accidentally
dropped a rose from her corsage and
saw him furtively secure and hide 1t,
her senses thrilled and she wondered
If in the depths of that retiring nature
there was a secret chamber that cher
ished her solely.
The Rev. Mr.. Joyce took a solitary
stroll one beautiful afternoon. He was
lost In sober reflection all the pro
tracted tramp. Then suddenly he ar
rived at a conclusion.
"She seems to enjoy my company
he soliloquized, "and I-ah! l must
not go on loving her If 1t is to only
meet with final disappointment"
Then, after further deliberate cogi.
tation, he murmured:
Eyes. l will know my fate today"
Mr.. Joyce proceeded straight to the
vine uncovered cottage with its pref
ty garden grounds that sheltered the
idol of his soul. A servant told him
that Miss Evans had run over to a
neighbours, offered to go for her and
led the caller TO a little summer house
where there was shade and GOODNESS.
Mr.. Joyce sat in a comfortable rus
tic chair, though decidedly uncomfort
able himself. He was trying to for
muiate his first appearance in a vita
and unfamiliar line. The prospective
proposal of marriage fairly upset his
usual serenity.
Then casually he noted writing uten
sils on the little table at his side
Rhoda had evidently brought her cor
respondence to this choice retreat to
attend to.
And then his eyes became fixed, de
spite his will, upon a single page OF q
letter that lay o~utspread and held fla
under an ink stand. He could not hell
but trace the lines:

Among the conclusions reached by
Mr.. Alexander Belts of South Caro-
lima, principal Of the Belts academy,
was that flocking to town was funda-
mentally bad for the negro. He con-
stantly affirmed that the best place
for the colored man was on the land
as a tiller of the soil. He was also
certain that labor on the land should
be in%telligently performed, therefore
the young men and women of the race
should be educated according to their
practical needs. Opportunities for
such education existed after a fashion
in the towns and cities. According
to the Belts theory of the fitness
of things, sending young people from
the country to be educated to work on
the farms was logically foolish and
morally mischievous. Reasoning in
rather a straight line, this preacher
concluded that the thing to do vas to
bring adequate educational opportuni-
ty to the people of the country.
He knew that his theory was right,
but applying it was not easy. Belts
believed that part of the business OF
life was to meet obstacles and emer-
gencies and throw them off the track.
Manifestly the first thing to do was
to make a beginning. This he did
by securing enough land for a MI
cleus. This negro preacher knew his
W limitations, and that he did not
know how to manage an educational
institution. His next step was to Sc
lect and equip two young men for this
task. They were. sent first to the
Schofield Normal and Industrial insti.
tute at Aiken, one of the first schools
established in the South for the ed
~ucation of the negro. Then they took
courses in Atlanta university. One
of them died soon after Belts acad'
envy was started.
T~wenty-eight years ago the surviv'
ing young man, Alfred w. Nicholson
took charge of the institution, and
ever since then the story of success
in individual equipment and land de
velopment clusters around this mar
and his wife.
The plant of Belts academy has
been a growth like Topsy. From the
small beginning of one primitive build
ing the plant has expanded into a clus
ter of buildings, plain, to be sure, but
suited, if not adequate, to the sub
stantial educational work which the
school fosters.

Falling or jumping down a 55-foot
well on the farm of his father, the
f~our-year-old son of B. Frank Minch,
neal Beebe Run, showed such pluck
and courage that his rescue was ac-
complished after an exciting half-hour
of work by a brave negro farm hand.
The lad was playing with other chill
dren when some of them dared him
to get into the box about the pump
used for lowering cream and milk into
the we'll to keep cool. Then he either
fell or, under the stimulus of the dare,
Jumped the rest of the way.
The children gave the alarm and
help was quickly at hand. The colored
farm hand climbed down the well by
bracing his feet against the brick
walls, and then he lowered a clothes
line to the lad, who all that time had
chung coolly and courageously to the
pump box and kept his head above
the water, though how he managed
to grasp the pump in his fail is a mys-
terry. The child made the line fast to
his little body, and was being raised
when the line broke and he fell back.
He still grabbed the pump box, and a
stronger line finally got him to the
surface in safety.-Shiloh IN. j. dis
