THE BETRAYAL OF HUGHES

abet his ambitions for the Repuhli-
can nomination for President in 1920
by killing off Mr.. Hughes. Ii IS hard
TO believe that Mr.. Johnson would be
so silly as TO have attempted 20 pull

the communication OF Il resident or

he supported johnson twice for Gov

1912. He adds:
1T was asserted boldly and openly by
Johnsou's supporters before the election
that Mr.. Wilson'S victory would pave
the way for Governor Johnson in 1920

Order Your Trees, Now.

Arbor Day is still month away but month is not too soon for get ting in your orders for trees for spring planting. Every tree that grows adds to the beauty and value of your lots and is a benefit to the town in general A great many trees were successfully planted here last year and it is to be hoped that yet greater will be set out in 1916. Mir. T. H. Cureton offers to take orders for these trees, after the same plan that he has followed before, and MT. Cureton has a thorough knowledge of what is needed to make trees grow. All those inter- ested should confer with MT. Cure ton at once. Drop him a card and he will call upon you Saturday..

He said that he had spent a few years in the Philippines and that he knew from personal bserva- tion, that two drinks of that bev- craze made people vote the dem ocratic ticket and bolt the repub- lican. And so there you are, both right and both wrong, but all agree that the Moro's drink is not wanted in Arizona.

handsome, big, fluffy cat, with nine
lives and a baritone purr, died like a
dog, in a manner of speaking, yester-
day in a chimney flUe at No. 202 w.

bleat or neigh of BIackie had gone up
the fiue, the fire, health, tenement
house and police departments had
sent representatives. to look down the
flUe, and the whole matter was final
ly taken to court. Some aver that
the remarks made by the official fiUe
peekers were calculated to blot out at
least eight of BIackie's available
lives
Miss Mabel Godfrey, who lives on
the fifth floor of the house featuring
the fatal fiue, arrived home on Tues
day evening to learn that Blackie had
climbed into the fireplace on the fifth
floor and had disappeared. Bulletins
coming from the neighbOrs in various
floors indicated that the cat was
slowly going south, stopping at each
floor. AS the the cries reached each
floor the tenant shook his own fire
place in an effort to dislodge the
noise-maker, and by midnight, when
Blackie was in exceptionally good
voice, the whole house was shaking
like a Jelly. Persons placed their heads
into their own frepIaces and remark
ed at the top of their lungs to whom
it might concern that they were go
ing mad. There was no halt in the
music.
Miss Godfrey went to the landlord
in the morning and explained that
BIacBie was in the chimney, which
fact had been impaired to him at an
early hour by at least eight tenants
who seemed to consider BIacIie any
thing but a pet. Miss Godfrey sug-
gested that the chimney be taken
down at once, or that holes bemadein

force him to show cause why the
chimney was more to be considered
than Blackie. He arrived and made
it clear that he had hired a plumber
to open the bottom of the chimney in
her presence, and that they had been
just too late to save BIackie, who had
suffered privations and a bad fall.
Miss Godfrey wept and the land
