Exquisite Legerdemain.

chase OF the law library by the
board of supervisors, but the lat
est turn is the most ridiculous
one so far advanced. 1t is the
filing for record of a bill Of sale
for law library as per inven-
tory" executed by the Merchants
and Stockgrowers bank, D. j.
Thomas, cashier, toiNavajo..coun-
ty, and acknowledged before
County Attorney Jordan as the
notary.
Extracts from the official rec
ords of the proceedings of the
board of supervisors will now be
interesting reading. Under date
of March 3, 1915, Judge Sapp
filed with the board a written
proposal to sell his library to the
county for $500, and submitted
an alleged correct inventory. At
the same meeting of the board
three appraisers were appointed.
Judge Sapp had a library to sell.
March 31st, 1915, the three
appraisers reported, striking out
several volumes from the list
submitted, as books belonging to
the county, and submitting an
appraisement on the library at
SPILL, and recommending pur-
chase at 80 per cent of the ap-
praisement. Judge Sapp owned
some library.
April meeting of the board
appraisement was returned for
further correction. Appraisers
reported back, striking out 100
volumes Of American Reports as
county property, but no new ap-
praisement was submitted. Ev-
en- at that Judge Sapp still had
some library left that he wanted
to sell.
January (1916) meeting Of the
supervisors Judge Sapp filed a
demand sworn to under oath that
the law library as per inven-
tory" had been sold and deliver
ed by him to Navajo county.
Judge Sapp still owned library.
January 4, 1916, in the after
noon, demand in favor of Sidney
Sapp was approved, allowed and
warrant ordered drawn. Judge
Sapp had sold his library.
But this record so accurately
compiled from the supervisors
proceedings must all be mis-
take. The Merchants and Stock
growers bank, by D. j. Thomas
as cashier, execute bill of sale
to Navajo county in considera-
ton of $1,000 in hand paid, COW
ering law books as per inven-
tory" on file. Did Judge Sapp
sell a law library he did not own,
or is buying libraries a habit
with the supervisors?
But let us dig into this new
situation that is brought forward
to relieve the supervisors of the
sad predictament in which they
find themselves. When this IL
brary was offered to the county
the supervisors were supposed to
appoint three disinterested ap-
praisers to ascertain it's true val
ue. and as legal appraisers they
should have been sworn to be
unbiased, unprejudiced, and have
no real or pretended interest in
the property. D. J. Thomas,
cashier of the Merchants and
Stockgrowers Bank, was one of
the three appraisers. Did the
supervisors know that the Mer-
chants and Stockgrowers bank
owned the library when they ap-
pointed Mr.. Thomas, the cashier,
as an appraiser. If they were
deceived and imposed upon, why
don't they get busy and investi-
gate the appraisement returned,
and protect the interests of the
county? Are the supervisors 60

galTroN A HITTER

Jack Britton is a devoted student of pugllism. Its his profession, and he has made an exhaustive study of the art of hit, duck, counter and block. There are not many tricks of the trade unknown to Britton. And combined with his knowledge of mi mute details. Britton has studied the weak points of opponents anatomy
 Possibly boxing fans are unaware of the fact that Britton aims 20 per cent. Of his punches for the body Among pugilists Britton is known as "a body fighter" This means Brit ton tries to land telling blows be tween the belt line and the chest or flush to the stomach. Invariably Britton iabs for the head and then falls into a semicliach and works both hands in piaton-rod fashion foi the body. He can strike three or four times, usually with short jabs to the body before the other fellow can cover up.

The Names of the Months.
The names of the months are Lat

The names of the months are Latin
in their origin. The particular deri-
vation of each name is as follows:
January, in honor of Janus, who pre-
sided over the beginning of every
thing; February, from the word "feb-
ru,' to purify, because the puriflca-
ton of women took place in that
month; March, from the name of the
god of war, Mars; April, from "ape-
RIO" to open, because that is the
month when the buds shoot forth;
May, from the name of the goddess
Maia; mother of Mercury, to whom
sacrifices were offered the first day
of this month; June, from the name
of the queen of the gods, Juno; July,
named by Marc Antony in honor OF
julius Ceasar, who was born in this
month: August, named by Augustus
Caesar. in honor of himself, because
in this month he celebrated three
distinct triumphs, reduced Egypt to
subsection, and put an end to civil
war Tin Gaul and the more remote
Darts of the Roman empire the month
was known by its ancient name OF
Faust or Aust, the word for harvestO
September, October, November, De-
cember, the seventh, eighth, ninth
and tenth months (names from the
Roman numerals,) so-called because
previous to the addition of January
and February by Numa in 713 B. c.,
the calendar year began with March.

NO PRIVATE HOUSES.
New York Decentralization" Strik-
ingly Characteristic.

1, In one respect-a point not so fiat
tering to metropolitan complacency
New York is unique among great
cities, writes James Middleton, in the
March Worlds Work: Manhattan is
a city without private houses. In the
last fifteen years few private dwell
ings have been built, except those of
millionaires. In that same period
thousands of the old browrstone
fronts of previous generation have
been dismantled to make way for
tenements .and apartments. For for
ty years the city has been undergoing
a process of "tenementization.' New
York is city almost exclusively of
tenements and apartments Shat is
its most striking architectural and
social characteristic.

Charitable Journalist.

The proprietor of the London Daily
TELEGRAPH, who passed away few
days ago at his country house at Bea-
consfeld, Buckinghamshire, was a
man whose life of eighty-two years
was one in which a kindly philan-
thropy was never lost sight of in busl-
ness. This was Edward Levy Law
son. Baron Burnhan, born of Jewish
parents. December 2S, 1888, and edu-
Gated at University College, London.
TO him has been given the credit OF
discovering, at least in Britain, the
utility of newspaper as a medium
for the distribution Of charity. 1t
was in 1864, fifty-twO years ago, That
this practical philanthropy began
when he organized a collection
through the Daily Telegraph for the
relief of the cotton spinners of Ian
cashire. rendered destitute by the
civil war in the United States, which
had cut off the export of cotton. 1t
was in the office of the Daily Tele-
graph that the expedition of Henry
VI. Stanley into central Africa was
first planned, to be followed by the
opening O. the dark continent to
civilization. Mr.. Lawson was raised
to the reerage in 1892. He had been
created a baroret in 1892. He bore
the prouder title Of ''the grand old
man of British Journalism.
