Commercial Club Banquet.

crate function in the form of a
banquet ever staged in Winslow
was the Washington Birthday
celebration of the Winslow COM
mercial club, Tuesday evening.
The banquet, a six-course din
ner, was served under the person
al direction of Manager Hollister
of the Harvey House, and his eff
ficient corps of assistants, who
left nothing undone that would
add to the comfort and pleasure
of this most important feature of
the evenings entertainment. The
dining room was tastefully deco
rated with American flags, the
banquet board in the form of a
letter ct" extending the full
length of the room was deco
rated with a profusion Of cut
flowers and potted plants, while
in an alcove at one side, partly
concealed by palms, was station
ed the ladies' orchnstra.
Promptly ats o'clock the doors
Of the dining room were thrown
open, and to inspiring strain Of
the orchestra, the club members
filed into their places. While
still standing, the distinguished
guest of the evening, Governor
George w. P. Hunt was escorted
on the arm of S. w. Proctor to
his seat at the head of the table.
AS soon as the guests were seat
ed President Dunham delivered a
welcome address to the visitors.
Immediately and silently the
corps of white robed mattresses
got into action, and for an hour
and a half the menu was discuss
ed and assimilated. Then at
last came the coffee and cigars,
and for two hours and half the
pent up eloquence flowed and
gurgled along like a babbling
brook. l.. w. Quinlan officiated
as POSTMASTER, and responses to
toasts were made by E. P Con-
we'll, M. L. Vaughan, G. E. Cor
nelius, Judge Sapp of Holbrook,
VIM. Nagle, VIM. Daze, sr., Mr..
Smith of Snowflake, S. w. Proc
tor, VIM. Daze, jr., and Adjutant
General Harris. f.. j. Shindle
entertained with a solo, and for
an encore he led the congrega-
tional singing of "The Star Span
gled Banner" The only set
speech of the evening was then
delivered by Gov, Hunt, and if
he really likes us as much as his
remarks indicated, when he re-
tires from his "governoring" job
we shall expect him to take up
his residence among us. He had
left all his official cares at Phoe-
nix, and was in happy frame
of mind apparently enjoying the
brief respite from his official du-
ties.
Other out-oftown guests in at
tendance were Messrs. Flake and
Smith of Snowflake, Shumway
of Taylor, Braxton, Jordan, Per
kins, Sapp and Newman of Hol-
brook, and Babbitt, Hart and
Fleming of Flagstaff.
An especially pleasant feature
of the evening, and one that
elicted the highest enconiums,
and rounds of applause, was the
almost continuous musical pro.
gram rendered during the ban
quet by the ladies orchestra com
posed of Mrs. L. M. Shipley, vic
lin, her daughters Misses M M'del
and Leorena, cello and clarionet
and Mrs. A. S. Brayman, piano
The talent displayed by this mu
sical organization was certainly ;
surprising revelation to all thu
company assembled, and it il
doubtful if they have an equal il
the state. Winslow has reason
to be proud of her lady orchestra

A Tryat by Proxy.

TT WAS still dark when the Hon. Morrison
i Baynes set forth for the trystlng place.
He insisted upon having guide, saying
that he was not sure that he could find
his way back to the little clearing.
As a matter of fact, the thought of that
lonely ride through the darkness before
the sun rose had been too much for his
courage, and he craved company.
A black. therefore, preceded him on foot
Behind and above him came Korak, whom
the noise in the camp had awakened
1t was O'Clock before Baynes drew rein
in the clearing. Merlem had not yet ar
rived The black lay down to rest Baynes
lolled in his saddle. Korak stretched him
self comfortably upon a lofty limb where
he could watch those beneath him without
being seen.
An hour passed. Baynes gave evidence
of nervousness Korak had already guessed
that the young Englishman had come here
to meet another nor was he at all in
doubt as to the identity of that other The
Killer was perfectly satisfied that he was
soon again to see the nlmble girl who had
SO forcefully reminded him of Merlem,
Presently the sound OF an approaching
horse came TO Koraks ears. She was COM
ing She had almost reached the clearing
before Baynes became aware OF her pres
enoe. and then as he looked UP. the foliage
parted to the head and shoulders of her
mount. and Meriem rode into view. Baynes
spurred TO meet her.
Korak looked searchingly down upon her,

med hat that hid her features from his
eyes, She was abreast the Englishman

DOBBIN AND THE EARTHWORM
BY Farmer Smith

BY Farmer Smith
1t was a spring morning and Dobbn
shifted the soft air of tho meadow as he
grazed lolsurely beside the flowing brook
Just as he started TO eat grass once more
ho heard little voice beside him, saying
DO be careful, Dobbin. or you will step
on me-"
Turning his wonderful eyes in the dlrec-
tion of the voice, Dobbin saw the Earth
worm looking up at him.
"It would not make much difference II
l did step you" said Dobbin. You are
Of no earthly use in this world, and the
sooner you run back into your little hole
the better"
~ cannot rum" said the Earthworm.
You are judging other people by your
self. Horses run, trot pace, gallop cahter
but worms only crawl"
you think you are smart" said Dobbin.

tly, but have lots of time to think down
in the earth whero my mind is not con-
fused by a lot of people putting harnesses
on me and hitting me with whips and Yell

Haven't you anybody to boss you

worm. But l always have to be careful
to see that do not get in the way Of some

Nothing bothers me-" said Dobbin. with
a swish OF his tail.
Indeed !" said the Earthworm. what
was the idea OF moving your tail that
way?"

At was merely swishing a fly out of my
way. But tell me. what good are you in

noon. Korak became hungry and thirsty. He
doubted that either Of the men would leave
camp now before morning 80 he with
drew, but toward the South for there 1t
seemed most likely the girl stlll was.
In the garden beside the bungalow
Meriem wandered thoughtfully in the
moonlight, She still smarted from Bwana's,
TO her, unjust treatment of the Hon.
Morrison Baynes. Nothing had been ex-
planned to her, for both Bwana and My
Dear had wished to spare her the mortiflca-
tich and sorrow OF the true explanation of
Baynes' proposal They knew, as Meriem
did not that the man had had no intention
OF marrying her: else he would have come
directly to Bwana, knowing full well that
no objection would be interposed if Meriem
really cared for him.
Merlem loved them both, and was CRATE
full to them for all that they had done for
her {; but deep in her heart surged the saw
age love of liberty that her years of un-
trammeled freedom in the Jungle had made
part and parcel of her being. Now, for
the first time since she had come to them,
Merlem felt like q prisoner in the bunga-
low Of Bwhna and My Dear.
Like Gagged tlgress, the girl paced the
length OF the lnclosure. Once she paused
near the outer fence, her head upon one
side--listening to the pad of naked human
feet just beyond the garden. The sound
was not repeated.
lHeT sue TeSuIneu neT TeSLleSS Walking.
Down to the opposite end of the garden
she passed. turned, and retraced her steps
toward the upper end Upon the sward
near the bushes that hid the fence full in
the glare of the moonlight, lay n white
envelope that had not been there when she
had turned almost upon the very spot a
moment before.
Meriem stopped short in her tracks,
listening again and snffing-more than
ever the tigress; alert, ready Beyond the
bushes n naked black runner squatted,
peering through the foliage. He saw her
take step closer to the letter. She had
seen 1t. He rose quietly, and following the
shadows OF the bushes that ran down to
the corral, was soon gone from sight.
Meriem's trained ears heard his every
move. She made no attempt to seek closer
knowledge Of his identity. Already she
had guessed that he was messenger from
the Hon Morrison. She stopped and picked
up the envelope. Tearing it open, she read
the contents easily by the moons brilliant
light.
1t was, as she had guessed. from
Baynes.
~ cannot go without seeing you again
Come to the clearing early tomorrow
morning and say good-by to me. Come
alone"
There was a little more--words that
made her heart beat faster and happy
flush mount her cheek.
