SLOT MACHINES AND PUNCH BOARDS MAKE
 THEIR QUIET EXIT
EdiCt of County Attorney Ross Receives Prompt Compliance; Some Test Cases Will Be Made.

Yesterday marked the passing, for the time, at least, of all slot ma- chimes and punch boards throughout the district this being in accordance with the edict sent out by County Att torney Ross. That official was in Bis bee yesterday and listened to a presen tation of their cases by several of the proprietors who are affected by the order. The conference occurred at the office of Attorney Flanigan.
 County Attorney Ross did not change his position in the matter. and. ac- cording to his statement. the only chance the dealers have in the matter Is Co make a test case" fight This is what will probably be done in the matter of the punch, boards, although the County Attorney believes that there is nothing to give them better standing in the courts that that en- ioyed by the slot machines. It is also understood that a test case will be brought in the matter of soft drinks claimed by their manufacturers to contain no alcohol whatever.

A small admission fee is charged. the proceeds to be devoted 10 the purchase of suitable pictures for the local schools.
 At the public reception held last evening in connection with the exhib- it Superintendent Philbrook welcomed the visitors in a cordial manner and briefly told something of what such an exhibit meant to those not able to frequently see similar examples of the handiwork of the art geniuses of the world. He also spoke Of the ben eft which Bisbee schools would de- rive from the acquisition of suitable pictures and copies of the masters.

June Thirteenth has Been De- Cided Upon as the Logical Date for the Annual Outing of Organizations at the Lewis Springs.

June 31 is the date selected for the annual outing Of the Eagles and Red man of the Warren District. An inI- tation has been extended, or will be this week, to the Knights of Pythias to participate in the fiesta at Lewis Springs and it is also expected that the Knights win accept
 The Eagles, Redmen and Knights of Pythias are associated in the promo tion of the Auditorium Association and it is entirely probable that the picnic will be more or less of a cele- bration of successful termination of the financing of the project by the three fraternal organizations.
 For the first time the picnic will be dry" and it is considered ex- tremely probable that an even larger crowd win join in the festivities this year than ever before The commit tees in charge of the occasion, are fast getting to work and promise to have one of the best programs ar- ranged in the history of the event.
 No official program will be issued this year but the committee, in charge of the sports, declares that a superl. atiye line of events will be had to lift the day from it's ordinary monotony.

The Last of the Rufus.

In 1852 the rage foI ruffs, such as
are seen on many monumental effigies,
began to decline. A writer in the Lon
don Chronicle of that year says Of gen.
tlemen's dress. Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists, and only the edges
Of their ruff1es are to be SEEN" 1t is
said that a distaste for ruffs was first
created so far back as 1913, when a
woman named Turner wore them on
her trial for the murder by poison Of
Sir Thomas Overbury. The French rev.
olution Of 1889 much Influenced British
fashion, and the picturesque cooked
hat and ruffles then gave way general
" to round hats and small cuffs. The
period of their final disuse cannot be
easily determined, as men Of old fash
toned or eccentric habits have worn
ruffied shirt fronts within quite recent
memory.

An Ancient IradedY.

A historical paper in Lord Montagu's
collection in London tells of a strange
tragedy "dOne in HOlborn, little be-
fore Christmas" several centuries ago:
"a boy seven years old came up into
a gentleman's chamber and prattled to
him and drew his sword and flourished
with it. The gentleman, being in bed,
wondered to see the boy toss his blade
so and said: so, good boy, thou hast
done well. Put in the sword The boy
persisting, the gentleman rose and held
him the scabbard, and the rude hand
ed lad, thinking to sheath the sword,
Justify chopt it into his body. Compa-
ny were called. One offered to strike
the child. Let him alone quoth the
gentleman. God is just. This boys
father did 1 kill five years since and
none knew. Now he hath revenged it.
And the gentleman died the second

Tricky Fox.

A gentleman while hunting near
river one winter day saw a fox run
out on the ice and make at full speed
for an opening in the ice where the
rushing water of the river could be
plainly seen from the bank, says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned, followed his tracks back to the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon a dog
came crashing out of the woods, bay
ing finely, hot on the. fox's trail. Now,
dogs when ON a chase Of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along the ice, head down, and when he
reached the hole he could not stop, but
plunged into the water and disappear
ed forever. Then the fox trotted away
with every sign of satisfaction.

The Wonderful Toad Bone,

All early writer's attribute wonderful
qualities to toads and frogs and the
various parts of their bodies. Pliny
believed, for instance. that if q toad
was brought into the midst of mob
or other large and unruly concourse
Of people "silence would instantly pre-
vail" A small bone found in the right
side of toads "of the proper age" was
also believed to have powers over the
various elements. by throwing this
bone into a vessel of boiling water"
says Pliny, 'it will Immediately cool it,
the water refusing to boil again until
the bone has been removed. To find
this bone, expose the dead toad on an
ant hill. When the ants have eaten
her all away except the bones take
each bone separately and drop it into
boiling water. Thus may the won
drous toad bone be discovered"

Dolly Madison.

The history of the first sixteen years
Of the White House is practically a
biography Of Mrs. Dolly Madison, the
handsome young widow whom the
bachelor James Madison married
long after his friends had regard
ed him as confirmed" I'm his single
blessedness. The first eight years she
was the official hostess for the elderly
widower, President Thomas Jefferson,
her husband being a member OF his
cabinet jefferson was rich, and his
patriotic prodigality assisted her in
uniting the warning social factions Of
the capital In the wilderness" as
Washington was then called. Mrs.
Madison's experience as hostess for
Jefferson was her social education and
the White House was her training
school, and during Madison's own adj
ministrations his wealth likewise help
ed greatly in oiling the wheels Of the
chariot of state. Queen Dolly's" beau
ty, charm and wit were the only
wealth she brought her husband, as
she was in circumstances actually
straitened when Madison married her.

A Xmas Trick.

King Gustavus III. Of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court Of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany, and as soon as the
Duchess Of Mecklenburg heard Of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts of the small rulers,
sent two Of his attendants-a page
named Peyron and Desvouges, valet
who had formerly been an actor-to
be entertained by the duchess. The
two personated the king and his min
lister, Baron Spare, and sustained the
characters throughout. They accepted
as their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Meek
lenburg ladies who were presented to
them, and Peyron went so far as to
ask one of the ladies for her portrait
Meantime Gustavus was enjoying
himself elsewhere in secret

When Cheese Was Vulgar.

There was a time when cheese was
regarded as too vulgar diet for well
bred ladies. This belief is referred to
In Mrs. GaskeIl's wives and Daugh-
tiers" and also in "The Visits Of Eliza
BETH" where Mrs. Elinor Glyn makes
her heroine write: 81 was glad to have
I nice piece of cheese. All the time
1 was with godmamma was not al
lowed to, as it isn't considered proper
for girls" A correspondent of Notes
and Queries for April "a, 1909, writes:
when 1 was living in Jamaica some
years ago a friend Of mine who would
now if living be about ninety-f1ve told
me that before he left England as a
young man it was not the custom for
ladies to eat cheese. Though he had
been in England so lately as 1874, he
believed that ladies suffered the same
privation at that time and almost re-
fused to believe me when 1 told him
that they did not. London Chroni-

The NebuIar Hypothesis.

The nebular hypothesis assumes that
the matter composing our sun and plan
cts once existed as a vast gaseous neb-
ula. spiral in form. having an incon-
ceivably high temperature and slowly
revolving on an axis passing through
its center of gravity. As the mass
cooled by radiating heat into space a
contraction of volume with accelerated
aXial rotation. would ensue, in accord
ance with well known dynamic princi-
pies. The centrifugal force thus rap
idly increased would cause the separa-
ton of large masses which would, by
mutual attraction Of their own parti-
cles, gradually assume spherical form
and become planets. By a repetition
of this process planet after planet
would be thrown Off and the central
glowing sun would remain.

The Conductors Baton.

According to the investigations Of a
Frenchman, the credit of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were in the
habit Of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo-
ton and so used a stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used a pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that it
struck his foot and made a deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton. and it was
ultimately brought to its present form.
