Were you lonesome while was
away. Bertram, dear" asked his wife
when she returned from her visit to
her mother.
Yes, love, was dreadfully lone
some," replied Bertram dutifully.
"But, why didn't you write to me
oftener? had only two letters from
you the whole time I was away"
well, you see, my dear, I tried to
write you, but I couldn't make the
you'd discover how lonesome I was
and come right home. I wouldn't have
spoiled your visit for the world, love-"
And he really thought she believed
him.-St Louis Post-Dispatch.

The mourner, sitting his tears. slipped
a sovereign into his hand and, turn
ing to some deckhands, asked them to
carry the box on to the dock As the
melancholy procession was. passing
over the gangplank a man stood on
the dock scrutinizing those who came
ashore The mourner while passing
him put his handkerchief to his face
and sobbed-
A hearse stood near-it had evident
~ been spoken for-and the box was
duly committed to it. The mourner
entered carriage, and the two We
hicles were driven away.
They had scarcely started when the
man who had stood by the gangplank
entered another carriage and told the
driver to follow them. Slowly the
funeral cortege passed through the
town and took road leading to
cemetery. The mourner 80 far forgot
his grief to turn and look through the
glass in the back of the carriage and
saw another carriage not far behind.
Presently the funeral vehicles turned
out of the main road. The mourner
looked again and saw that the carriage
behind also turned. Lowering a win
dow, he said quickly:
Jim, we're gone up!"
"What makes you think so2" asked
the driver.
II saw a Scotland Yard man by the
gangway watching for US. He Is in
that carriage back there"
"Suppose we race him?"
In another moment the melancholy
trot Of a funeral procession was
changed to gallop. As soon as the
new gait was begun the carriage in the
rear also made change. On went
the hearse; on went the carriage con-
tanning the mourner, and on went the
one containing the detective. Seeing
funeral party galloping over the
ground, persons along the road stopped
and gaped- Then when the rear car
rage passed, scattering dust and dirt,
it was evident that there was a race In
progress.
Presently the hearse reached a GENE
tary. The gate was open and the
driver turned in, shouting to several
persons standing about to get out Of
the way. The avenues Of the Enclosure
were tortuous and well adapted to
leaving a pursuer In the lurch. After
making a number of turns on two
wheels, the driver Of the hearse stop
ped before vault. the door Of which
stood open, the mourneF's carriage
came up, the two drivers withdrew the
box and buried it into the vault There
the mourner remained with it, while
the two drivers drove on. The mourn
er listened. In few minutes he heard
a carriage go by Hckety split without
stopping.

the corpse Of his wife. We've won!'
"For heavens sake, get me out Of
this!" said the other in a masculine
voice and broken French. This JOLT

A lugubrious
Race
By ALAN HlNSDALE

A ,hearse drove up to the dock Of
the channel boat at Calais, followed
by a carriage, out Of which stepped
man Of somber countenance, dressed
in funeral black. Summoning a porter,
he engaged him to bring assistants
and from the hearse an oblong box
was removed and carried on to the
boat During the transit one Of the
men carelessly let go his hold, and the
box came very near falling to the
ground
The mourner groaned. do be care
ful," he said THAT box contains the
remains Of my dear wife. She died q
few days ago in Brussels, and am
taking her body to my home in Har-
wich, across the channel, to give It
sepulture."
Sorry, sir, that I lost my hold"
replied the porter, evidently affected
by the mourner's deep grief. Il won't
do it again.
The mourner raised his handkerchief
to his eyes to dry the tears that had
started at the jogging of the dear re-
mains and followed the bearers on to
the boat, where he begged them to
put down the box gently. They all
seemed impressed by the exhibition Of
grief, and when the box touched the
deck not a sound was to be heard.
Wiping his eyes with one hand, with
the other the mourner gave each one
of them half crown, and they dis
persed, walking away with soft tread
as If fearing to wound him by unseen
, ~ noise.
When the boat reached Harwich a
customs officer came aboard The
mourner stepped up to him and, with
trembling voice and difficulty in re-
pressing his tears, said to him:
MY friend, must ask your indul-
gence for one in trouble. That box
contains the body of my beloved wife.

QUEEN CROWNED AND AUTO SHOW
 THING OF PAST

With the crowning of Miss Viola Champie as queen of the auto show last evening the greatest event of To- cal motor circles passed into history. The great crowd slowly dispersed and the pressing of a button placed a pail of darkness over the great building which has housed the com bined genius of Americas S greatest automobile builders for the past four days
 The attendance lasr evening fully if not more than equalled that of the other nights while the interest dis playd was as great as ever. The added attraction of the queens coronation probably had something to do with the size of the crowd last night.
 Up to the closing of the rallot box the voting for their favorite was hot and heavy amongst the friends of the various candidates. Grea: patches of votes which had been saved for the last moment came pouring in and it was hard to tell who had won the honors. The race between Miss Cham pie the winner and Miss Edith Nor tor who ran second was spirited ana the rivalry intense
 At o'clock the judges announced the winner and the coronation pro- ceedings took place, The golden coro- net was placed upon the fair brow oe Miss Champie who presented d queerly picture indeed seated upor her regal throne. The royalty of the automobile world was then presented with the diamond solitaire the gift of the auto show committee and the da mond brooch presented by Mack Gardner local jeweler.

INDIAN AUTHORITY SUGGESTS USE
 OF REDMEN WARTIME SOLDIERS
Edward E. Aver Who Developed Flagstaff Timber and Who Came Arizona in 1862, Contributes Valuable Information to Secretary of Interior with Regard
 to Possibilities of New Use for Indians of the West

Suggesting the possibility of using Indians, in case the United States should go to war, as soldiers and speaking from his wealth of experience, Edward E. Aver who has just left Phoenix for the Pacific coast, has un- doubtedly made a Valuable and inter- esting addition to the store of know ledge about the Indian in a recent ar ticle covering this whole subject.
 MT Aver, who is to return to this city next week, has been closely in touch with Arizona development since 1862 He developed a great lumber industry at Flagstaff finally selling his interest there. He held all the con- tracts for the ties for the Santa Fe and now is one of the largest operators in southern timber. MT. Aver has given much time to public matters and has been of great service to the Field museum in Chicago. He has perso- nally developed a wonderful library on Americana and is also quite well known as an Egyptologist, having se- cured some of the very finest Treasures of Egypt for the Field museum. As member of the Indian commission he is an advisor of the secretary of the in terior and as a student of Indian prob lems he holds a high place
 In speaking of the possibility of mak- ing soldiers of the Indian, MT. Aver writes:
 Having crossed the plains in an em- igrant outfit in 1860, coming in con tact with many tribes of Indians some of them hostile; having served during the last half of 1861 in southern Cali fornia and all of 1862, 1863 and up to June, 1864, fighting Indians in Arizo- na and New Mexico, and having seen more or less of them nearly every year since. collected a great library on the subject, and served on the Indian com mission for several years, 1 have come to the following conclusions of what should have been done or started sixty i years ago, and what would be easy to ! do now
 i l. There always has been first class foundation among the Indians to build upor-first, the Indians great powers Of endurance; second, he is proud of being trusted; third, he is ] truthful and brave. He becomes easily and greatly attached to one who treats him right. As to his endurance, when ever on scout duty in old times in the West he often would run day after day distance. that would stagger one. Ask General Wood and General Hugh Scott about it.
 ,. There is scarcely a record of an Indian not being true to any duty in- trusted to him while he is under agreement or pay. Nearly all the In dian scouts. who ran down Geronimo

MANY PARTIES
 TO VISIT CITY
 IN SHORT TIME

That Phoenix is the Mecca of many at tnls tune ot the year the crowded state of the city clearly indicates ano if added proof was needed, the num- Der ot excursion parties headed in this direction furnishes it.
 TWO important parties from consid- erable distances will be here in the near future. One comes from Fl Paso and the other from New Orleans and, in addition. there are the regular run of excursion organization parties which seldom pass a week without ha Nin2 large delegation in the city.
 The Fl Paso party will reach Phoe- nix. Ii present schedule is carried out. at 9:30 o'clock on the morning of March A. The party only plans to be in the city until 12:30 o'clock the aft ernoon Of the day of arrival but Sec retary Welch of the chamber of com merce is trying to persuade those in charge to tarry until evening. then leaving Phoenix for Prescott. The party will probably detrain at Mesa and come 10 Phoenix by autos While the head Of the delega tion has writ ter that nc special entertainment is expected the hospitality of the Salt River valley would not listen to sucn a proposition here.
 Word came yesterday that the New Orleans party Will remaln Tn the val ley at least long enough to take the Apache Trail trip. The chamber of commerce will also entertain the mcmhers oe this party
 The coming of these visitors to- gether with the arrival of such parties ns the one MT Barbee brought to Phoenix last week cannot help but bring settlers to this section or. at least, wise investors and investments.

of which has been one of the hardest questions ip connection with the h. dian question.
 This enlistiug of Indians is no new question During our civil war good many companies of Indians were mixed with white soldiers. The Menominee tribe of Wisconsin alone gave several companies to their country, enough at least still to keep up a Grand Army post exclusively of Indians on their reservation.
 Urged Rifle Ranges
 Last year as one of the Indian com missioners, I recommended to Secre- tary of the Interior Franklin k. Lane that each prominent Indian school should be provided with rifle range so that. if the government ever wanted them as soldiers, they should know how to shoot.
 l feel sure our government now could get ten regiments of unique sol i diers (especially for our Mexican bor- derl in a very short time and that number could be kept up for an in- definite period. Pay them the same
