THE OLD. OLD SUBSCRIBER.


How dear to my heart are the old
things in general,
When fond recollection presents them
to view;
Old pewter, old linen, old friends and
old china,
Old books old songs are far better
than new.
And old shoes for comfort 1--WE need
new ones badly
The old corncob pipe ! shall always
hold DEAR
But the old, old subscriber, l mention
him gladly,
Ever faithful and true, he renews by
the year.
The old, old subscriber, the dear old
subscriber,
The faithful old friend who renews
every year.
Old friends and old sweethearts, the
older the better;
The old folks at home-what is home
without them?
The old swimming hole-it must not
be forgotten
The Jewel of Memory's whole diadem;
Old times and old customs, and cen
the old dances
(Well have to admit we cannot tur-
key trot)
But of old institutions, if one must
take chances,
The old, old subscribers the best of
the lot
The old, old subscriber, the dear old
subscriber,
The paid up subscribers the best Of
the lot.

OBJECTS OF CHARITY

Space and copies of his paper
go to make up the newspaper
mans entire stock in trade
These two are all that he has
to offer for sale to the public
and no one has as yet given any
sort of satisfactory reasons why
he should ever be asked by any
one to donate them.
One thing newspaper people
will never be able to understand
is why any person will walk in
to newspaper Office and make
himself or herself an object of
charity and insist upon what
they would disdain to ask for in
any other shop or place of bust
ness in the town. The prin-
cipIe is the same in the newspa-
per office as in the dry goods
store, the grocery, the drug
store and what a great many
people need is to recognize it as
the same and get off one news
paper list.
Advertising space in the
newspaper is for sale,not to give
away. 1t has certain value in
itself that makes it worth
money. Copies of the newspa-
per are for sale-not to give
away. If they are worth hav-
ing, they are worth the exceed
ingly small price asked for them.
The public, or at least a large
portion of it, has some very err
roneous ideas about these mat
tiers, and it is but just to the
newspaper folk that their ideas
be corrected in accordance with
the same business principles
that prevails in all other bust
ness establishments.
In a vast majority of cases
this generous charity on the
part of the newspapers is bliss
fully taken for granted, and the
papers liberaIity is abused.
That which is purely a favor is
accepted as a mater of course,
and what should be requests are
couched as demands.
When the courtesy has been
performed there is rarely ap-
probation and more often dis
satisfaction-generally silence.
The result in many other
towns and cities is that ban
has been put upon all free pub
licity, no matter what it's object
even upon church notices. In
these cities such favors as the
press bestows are properly ap-
preciated and valued.-The
Fourth Estate.

 AM|AbLE GAME
 FROM PHOENIX
Southsiders Hit Barnett Lightly, But Enough to Win - McGowan and Oviedo Keep Local Hits at a Minimum

They don't call them by any high sounding name, and no big league scouts are on any of their trails but just the same and considering the cir cumstances, d pretty good game of ball was put on yesterday P M. in the na- ture of a benefit for the Solons.
 For time it looked as if the game would be called on account of darkness with out there having been any action whatsoever. the Mesa outfit being ex- tremely late in putting in an appear ance They finally stuck the nose of their touring car around the corner, and deployed onto the field for a little warming up. Then the fracas was on.
 For the first two innings the game was repoeing out on the diamond wait ing to be carried off by most any one, seemingly it was not a bit particular who did the abducting. For Mesa But Ter nut over a single in the first, but died on first, when Bond struck out and Campbell flied out to Brown. In the second Oviedo managed to single over second, but politely refrained from scoring when the next two men struck out and Hegi popped up to Warren. Phoenix absolutely refused to make things interesting. every one retiring in regular one. two, three order.
 In the third, Mesa started the SCOT ing when Harris walked advanced to second when Barnett hit Williams, went around to third, when he did the same thing to Bond and came home when the Phoenix players got mixed up on who was really in possession of the ball, and who should have the ex treme honor of holding the pill. Oviedo started the fourth. with a triple. and | loped home a minute or so after, when Finch singled.
 At the beginning of the fourth, the crowd, being wearied by watching IS men play just baseball, took a few min utes off to see a four or five round fight betweerf two youthful aspirants to the paper weight championship. The | fight ended in a withdrawal. The withdrawer. retreated ten paces. espied pitchfork, shouldered arms with it, l advanced on the enemy, who had in

 McGilvray singled. but Stewart hi. 10 McGeehan who begged Mack at second. Lynn walked and Hester followed him on the paths in the same manner Andrada was the bloke that Slagle was aiming at, as not only one of the shortest and chunkiest marks on the Phoenix team except his prototype Demaggio,, but as the weakest hitsman on the nine. But Andrada selected nice fast one and strengthened it out over

 Pittman has had a few days work with the Hayden teams. playing his regular position and smashing the ball hard and opportunely. He has been back from the mining camp for three days, now. awaiting the deal whereby he re-enters the Rio Grande Association.
