A DOUBLE EVENT

And the right man hasn't turned up

ing her hands in his.
a Not yet, Jim, answered his sister,
smiling Besides, you know, Jim,
am never going to get married any
way until you do, because there will
ma nobody to look after you then.
Jim smiled. I've been looking after
myself good deal since | came to
New York" ne answered.
But anyway, I'm going to stay with
YOU long enough to put your household
srairs in order and-and sew on all
YOUR buttons, replied the girl.
Since Jim left the little town 20 take
nm q position Ill the big city Rita had
worried constantly about him, and at
last she had left her mother and gone
to spend a couple of weeks with Jim.
He was taking her for round OF gay
ety. AS they entered the big roof
garden hotel Jim looked fondly at his
sister. How pretty she was, and how
fortunate the man would be who got
her, He hoped it would be someone
worthy OF her.
II am always so sorry for boys like
YOU who are lonely in great city,
said Rita, slipping her hand into his.
Jim WINGED inwardly. He was think
ing of a certain poker party OF a few
nights before, of which Rita would
never have approved, and wondering
II she suspected that he had a good
many friends.
In the elevator a forlorn-lookins
Young man was standing He, too,
was going up to the roof-garden, and
he was going up alone. Rita's heart
smote her.
He looks as lonely as imagine you
must be sometimes" she whispered to
ask him to join u.s.
Jim looked at the young man. He
was certainly presentable young fell
low, a gentleman, and a stranger to
the city, as Jim imagined. They hap
pened to approach an empty table to-
gether. Jim made some casual re-
mark
Plenty of room here, he said.
The young fellow sat down, and
soon the three were engaged in con-
versation. Jim was not sorry for the
respite from a tete-a-tete with his sis
ter He was dreading the time when
he would have to tell her a very
natural thing from which, Deverthe.
less, he shrank-that he was as good
as engaged to a very charming girl.
Miss Ida Campbell.
by the way, jim said Rita, do
you remember Ida Campbell? Well,
| have got her address, and was
thinking of looking her up. 1t is
somewhere in Sixty-seventh street.
The young man started why,
then she must be my cousin he said
Il am John Campbell My uncle and
aunt come from Bennington"
WHY have heard of you" STAN
mered Rita. How odd! Ida always
used to speak of her city cousin, and
hoped that some day we should meet
But you have lived in the city all your
life"
Pretty nearly" said John. smiling

JUNE RECORD MONTH
IN RECORDERS OFFICE

June was the record month for the
collection Of fees in the office of
County Recorder Owen E Murphy,
when the total OF moneys collected
amounted TO s1253.45 for that month.
Considering the fact that June is
always a slow month for that office.
and that the record of a month pre-
vious has been beaten. it can well be
understood that the year 1916 will be
a record breaking year for that Office
According to the figures compiled
by Chief Deputy Wales there were
100 instruments filed. representing
mostly transfers for real estate and
property within the county January
of this year was the smallest month.
with only sSSOOO in fees collected,
and March was the record-breaker
with s1233.65, until June came along
with s1253.i5.
Tn" business of the reco 'dei's office
every month the fees continue to
has been steadily increasing and with
climb. the work being handled in the
Office with no extra help. Consider
ing that June was not a big month
comparing with other years, the fol
lowing months are expected to break
all records of the collection of fees
in the history of the county, showing
that prosperity is steadoly increasing
in the county, and no better evidence
can be had than is shown by the rec
ords filed of business transactions in
the county.

SUPREME COURT DECLARES
OLD AGE AND MOTHERS
PENSION LAW INVALID

PHOENIX. July 3.-The Supreme
Court this morning handed down a
decision holding that the so-called
old age and mothers pension law ini-
tiated in 1914 is contrary to conssitu-
;ional provisions and cannot become
an integral part of the fundamental
Law of the state.
The decision which was written by
Chief Justice Ross discusses the in
tricate legal questions involved sue
cinctly, and clearly lays down the law
ard the Court rasons for failing to
approve the measure.
With the knocking out of the PEN
sion law but little remains of the
Wanted country saving initiated meas
ures upon which Hunt made his latest
campaign. One after another when
placed beneath the acid test Of the law
they have been thrown into the dis
card.
Briefly four basic reasons are found
for the decision:
First, because that while the act
provides for the sale OF the county
aims houses no one is given authority
to make the sale. and no aid is given
by the general laws in carrying out
the provisions relating thereto.
Second, because me law provides
that it cannot be enforced until after
the sale of the aims houses. ard then
says that pensions should be given
in the absence OF aims houses.
Third. the subject matter abolish
ing aims houses is not contained in
the title, and in this respect fails to
comply with the constitution.
Fourth, the law undertakes to pen
sion not only widows but wives whose
husbands are in prison or asylums
and who have children to support re-
gardless Of whether they are already
in receipt Of competency or not.
Judge Franklin concurs and Justice
Cunningham presents an opinion from
his own pen of especial concurrence,
based on a somewhat different line
Of reasoning.
The case was on appeal from the su-
perior court Of Maricopa county d.
rected against the board Of control to
restrain a payment under operation
