1.-THE CATHEDRAL OF THE
STORES THE deIuded NUT who
STORES"

STORES" THE deluded NUT who
wrote the poem, "The Cathedral of
the Stores" will some day realize
what an intellectual prostitute he is,
and will more than likely feel like
hiring some one to give him pun
melting for it. l visited the "Cathe-
dral Store" last week. l found the
girls discussing a small slip that had
just been handed each much-driven
slave on which was printed the fol-
lowing notice:
eff your sales each week do not
amount to - hundred dollars YOU
may take it for granted that your dis
missal is certain"
l presume the same huckstering
that marks the Boston Store will pre-
sently prevail in the Cathedral of the
Stores"
The slaves stood in groups and dis
cussed the fact that the Cathedral
Store" gives it's hirelings two weeks
vacation with pay. But when bust
ness in certain departments is slack
the girls are told to take two weeks
off without pay. There are sales for
which no special help is secured, and
just when the tagged girls are start
ing for their lockers they are ordered
to right about face and fold the sale
stock, which detains them 80 min
utes longer.
About the time for raising salaries
there is usually a number dismissed
from This "cathedraTC'' cpTvicn ond
these bemoan their pittance through
these lordly halls. Thus it is, per-
haps, that those who are entitled to
a raise will be intimated and deferred
from seeking for it.

Murder is committed
by reason of a cause Change is the
cause-change in the locality.
The worst class of murderers causes
these cheap murderers to exist, which
always without fail are punished,
while the real ones go free.
The ordinary murderer is first him
dered in life at birth and during boy
hood days, expresses fighting spirit
(of course) for action. This action
should be turned toward education
and athletics. The environment lacks
these good things; thus the boy is de-
prived of necessities and is consider
ed bad. What he needs is lift, a
helping hand, because he is already
handicapped for making living, and
is mentally and physically unable to
care for himself. 1t is not ignorance
that is the chief cause of his unfit
ness, but it is means to purchase food
and clothing for his body, books for
his mind and a home that are lack
ing. Our bigger and worst murder
ers don't want to share alike with
the ordinary murderers in their daily
hold-ups, this is the chief incentive
for murder, in order to exist.
Every being born upon this earth
by nature is entitled to live and full
fill it's purpose till it dies by the hands
of nature. No man should interfere
with that being, regardless of how de-
formed it may be- For the hand of

The election in this precinct went off very busily but quietly, there being a steady stream of voters coming and go- ing all day, and the workers for the different candidates and parties get ting along in a friendly way with but little friction. The only unusual eX- citement of the day came about 3:30 in the afternon, when all parties mixed up till you couldn't tell who was who for several minutes, over the fact that Rose Etter, the four year old daughter of Robert Etter, had swallowed a Hughes" pin. The republicans thought it a shame to lose such valuable piece of jewelry, and the democrats thought it must have been a bitter pill to swallow, but all agreed in feeling sorry for the suffering child and her nearly distracted mother. A doctor was i'm mediately telephoned for and in half an hour had the cihld home and the pin up.

OUTLAW STALLION
 CAPTURED AT LAST

No longer will the sorrel stallion of Cananea play havoc with law abid- ing and gentle animals of his kind; no longer will the horse herds of the Cananea Cattle company be stampeded and lost for days and days; no longer will the American cowboy and Mexican vaquero of northern Sonora tell TO- mantle stories Of this justly celebrated horse in the past tense; for he has been captured, says the Douglas h. ternational.
 Roland Curry, foreman of the Can anea Cattle company, accompanied by ms Mexican cowboys, captured the handsome sorrel a day or two ago in the foothills of the San Jose moun- talns. The animal is now in the cor rals at the San Pedro ranch.
 For years the sorrel has been the ob ject of search on the part of the em- pioyes of the Cananea Cattle com pany and has been the background for many stories told of his prowess. He has been compared to the hero-h horse of one of Thompson Seaton's animal stories. His record, if it could be transcribed to paper, would probably brand him as a particularly bad out law among horses; and one who has caused more havoc among herds than any other stallion in the state of Sonora
 For several years he has been seen at various times in the San Jose mountains Usually he led a band of outlaw horses, seemingly holding ab- solute sway over their goings and of { ha 1f. FoI have been captured, but up until this time no punchers had been within roping distance and upon but few oc- casions have they been able to get within shooting distance of the leader.
 During the several revolutions which have shocked Sonora in the past five years. the big sorrel has figured prominently in several stories 1t has been said that on one occasion the corrals of the San Pedro ranch were opened by a score of bandits and all of the mounts driven off. They passed by the foothills of the San Jose mountains. At this juncture, ac- cording to the story, while the sun was just leaving the western horizon for visit to the far east, and the last rays of the day were Hitting on the western slopes of the mountains a phantom sorrel horse, with head and tail erect, poised himself on a raise some distance from the driven band of horses. Suddenly the horse neighed Tie hedr stopped. Then of a sudden the phantom darted into the canyon and :he herd broke and followed him
 The bandits were so frightened by the sudden appearance of the sorrel that for several minutes they made no attempt to follow. When they did the herd and its leader were far into the hills and the loot gone Cowboys of the Cananea Cattle company later rounded up most of the mounts. but were unable to catch the leader.
 Many another story of the stallion's oItlaw career might be told. Of his lineage nothing can be learned There are many guesses, hut they sound toe fictitious to repeat. What will be done with the animal. now that he is cap- tured, can only be conjectured. It is improbable that he can be domestic ated and 1t Is also doubtful whether any of the Clusters" of the gig cattle company will make much of an at temp to handle him.
