And saw. within the moonlight in his

Making it rich, like a lily in bloom,
An angel, writing in book Of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Bill Buck

And, to the presence in the room he

And with a look made of tall sweet

Replied the angel. William spoke
more low,
But cheerily still; and said, 81 pray

Write me as one who tries it now
and then"
The angel wrote and vanished. The

And 10! Bill Buckwheat's name led

Loco Foco

Having had occasion recently to
use a term in common use in 1910
and some years later, but which |
find has become obsolete, I find many,
in fact great many people, do not
know what it means. 1t is simply a
nickname given by the Wings to the
members Of the Democratic parity
They, the Democrats, were called
loco focos. To say man was loco
foco was as much as to say he was q
Democrat, and the old doggerel used
to read:
United we stand,
Divided we fall;
Four years more loco foco
And the devil take us all.
Meaning four years more Of Van Blu
rem rule and "the devil take us all"
The name stuck to the party for many
years, but finally became obsolete a
fact | did not recognize until my
89-year-o1d penmanship made me
aware Of it. PETER RICHARDS.
Lodi, Wis.
Editors Note: According TO the
International dictionary the term was
first applied to self-lighting cigar,
with a match composition at the end,
invented in 1884 by John Marck in
New York and called the loco foco
oSoor IN fr,oi+a+iou of fhn locnm0-
tive, which by the uneducated was
supposed to be self-moving. Later
at Democratic meeting in 1885, the
regular, or Tammany Democrats, put
out the lights and the meeting pro-
ceeded by using candles and loco To-
cos. Afterwards this branch OF the
party were called loco focos, and the
term came into general use.

 Duty As Soldier

When Harold L. Altenburg ap- piled for a marriage license yester- day, he informed ''Cuoid" Johnson that he was not marrying to es- cape military duty. In fact, Altcn- burg offered his services to his country before he pledged his heart to the pretty girl whose name ap- peared on the license as Ada E. Hulsey.
 AItenburg was one Of the first tc enlist, but the authorities refused to accept him because he did rot measure up to the weight required by law. A member of the Rifle club and the police reserve, the patriotism of the young American is unquestioned.
 Altenburg gave his age to the license clerk as that of 18, and his bride elect as r. It was neces sary to record the written consent of the parents Of both.

J. l.. Raynor of Avondale

 his nelghbor, J. L. Raynor, an Avon dale rancher shot and instantly killed Calvin Heath. Although there had
 been no previous trouble between the two men, both of whom had passed midle age, few angry words were ex- changed before the tragic end. The shot took effect in the lower jaw and tore away the left side of his head. Raynor was brought to Phoenix last night and placed behind the bars of the county jail. This morning a murder charge will be lodged against him.
 Although the shooting occurred at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the word did not reach Phoenix until yesterday and then only meagre reports drifted over the telephone wire, which was out of order. County Attorney L. M. La ney, accompanied by Sheriff W. H.
 Wilky. Deputy Sheriff Charles Mai ginger and Coroner Frank De Souza left at once for the scene of the crime and it required all the daring of the officers to reach their destination. The
 county car by which they made the trip had to be left on this side of the
 Agua Eric river while they walked across the railroad bridge. The bridge gave at practically every step, some of
 the piers they reported washed out
 while the bridge itself has sunk two feet. On their arrival in Avondale, they learned that Justice of the Peace
 Mitten of Buckeye, fearing they would be unable to cross the river, had held the inquest. They remained several hours, however, during which time
 County Attorney Laney gathered evil
 dence which will be used Tn the mur- der trial.
 The officers allege that there had been no past trouble. no motive, they declare prompted the murder other than the water difficulty that arose on that one occasion. -Raynor and Heath had frequently exchanged neighborly courtesies, witnesses are said to have told the authorities.
 Calvin Heath, according to the tales told by Eeighbors of the dead man, lived alone on his 160 acre ranch. He built dyke at the upper end to divert the water of the Agua Eric over his land. At the lower end was another dyke which rave way and allowed the l water to run over the Raynor land l flooding the pumping plant.
