 The forty persons whose time was occupied listening to the dry-aB-dust phrases of the legal red-tape con nected with the trial includeds The Recorder the Mayor, the Clerk of the Peace, the Chief Constable, the UsheF, the Doorkeeper the Grown Counsel and Solicitor, the Court 5tenographers the Prosecutor, three court attend ants, thirteen grand jurors, twelve petty jurors, and two witnesses. The prisoner was sentenced to one days imprisonment without referring the case to the jury. The cost of the pro- cedure to the country was estimated at about 200 pounds.
 The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said it was a small matter to summan so many people together and take them from their various occupa- tions. Probably many people would think it absurd. With that view he himself agreed, but he said there were many people who took the other view.

There is a tombstone in Orient Cemetery, Harrison, Mo, that puzzles scientists. The tombstone consists of a pedestal on which rests A ball Of granite two feet in diameter. With the exception of the spot that rested on the pedestal, the ball was given a high polish. Now the ball has turned until the unpublished spot has moved about one-sixty fourth of the dis- tance of the complete circle. A Harrisonville mathematician aacer- tained the exact hour the monument was set and by his computations de- clares the ball will make one reVolu- ton in one hundred years.-MilWaulkee Journal.

What the army needs at this time
(for the army alone must face the fir

men who can and know how to do
things. What I would like to see the

come out and say to the men who join
the army, "Boys when you return home
with honor, your former positions are
awaiting YOU. This can be done with
out any compromise or egoism. A SOL

will appreciate any kindness the indi-

been sorely neglected for the soldier

at one time. No provision was made
to find employment for them and it
can for job. Their former places
were filled by others when most of
them returned home. The consequence
was that they thought no one cared Tor
them and it left a very bad impression

I believe every man in Arizona who
employs from one man to 10000 will
cooperate to boost the army at this
time and take a deep interest in any
men who joins out of ther employee

1t is reported that 25 men from
amongst the enlisted men Of the First
Arizona will be sent to Presidio,
California, to the reserve officers

Edmun B. Kasold are the two men
slated to go from Company H Both of
them will give a creditable account of
themselves.
The officers and men of the First

work preparing for larger events that

be among the finest horsemen and

Apaches vowing allegiance to the gov

A RESTRICTED PRIVILEGE

A colored parson was in trouble
His offense had been called to the at
tention of the board of deacons of his
church. He was summoned before the
deacons to hear the charge against him.

cons, in a solemn voice, you stan's

for moment. An expression of rev.
ercnce wes upon his face
"Brothuh JONES'" he said at last, with
great dignity, 81 think you will fin
dat dc Good Book says d'it de shepherd

The deacons ushered the parson into
another room, and continued their
momentous deliberations. After con-
siderable delay they calico him in
again to hear their verdict.

NEWSY NOTES OF
SMELTER TEAM

Although the result of this game was
unfavorable to the Smelter, it is not to
be supposed that it was due altogether to
bad playing. Bad luck had lot to do
with it. Owing to the teams late
start, its organization is still defective,
and it is out of reason to expect a
team comprising some new men who
have been on the ground but short
vim that they will afterwards display.
We predict that when the Smelter
team gets into shape they are going to
make us sit up and take notice, as they
did last year when they gave Ray such
a close race for the pennant Of the
new players who have just arrived or
Smelter, the following should be noted:
Buster Callan, catcher, was in the
Old Rio Grande League; sent by
Cleveland (American League) to New
Orlean (Southern League). He was
here year before last, and with Oak
land until his arrival here at this time.
Ted Easterlys catcher, Coast League;
American League (Cleveland); Chica-
go White Sox; Federal League during
the baseball war. In the Coast League
previous to coming here.
Oscar Horstman, pitcher Coast

to the Sa. Louis Cardinals, but comes
here in preference to the Coast.

Sir: Quite a number of the militia
boys who refused to sign up on April
14th are signing up in the face of war.
They are the right sort and I believe
that when all the men of the First Ari
zona who refused to sign up under
stand that the regiment has it's assign
ment made amongst the regular army
units, for active service, most of the
ment will return and sign up with the
regiment. When it looked like trouble
last July across the border, these boys
were ready to go and face the music
and now they are ready again. if as
sured that it won't be a game OF watch
full waiting for scrap to develop.
Any one who has ever been a soldier
and been in action, knows how high
his nervous system is keyed up before
and during the fight; but when no fight
takes place the reaction takes the vim
out Of him until the next time. l be-
lieve most of the men who elected not
to sign believed that the First Arizona
would be kept on the border another
year without any active service. Every
man Of this regiment who responded to
the call of the President in 1916 was
willing to face anything that confronted
him and the men who did not sign UP
on April 14th will be found in the
front rank of the battle line when the
signal is given to charge.
I don't believe that any soldier is try
ing to exact a condition from his gov
ernment or the community in which
he resided for the service he will rem
der his country at this time. Patriotism
is one Of the greatest virtues, but pa.
triotism is not always armed with a
rifle, neither is it's possessor always
target for bullet. That this is pecu-
liarly the case just at this time is
brought forcibly to our minds when we

hobo. Weary Willie has forsaken
the "side- door Pullman" as means of

The fact that all approaches to rail-

unhealthy occupation. He faces the
