Two to five hills of cucumbers
usually will produce enough for the
ordinary family. Cucumbers require
considerable space, and for that
reason they may not fit into the
scheme of small gardens. II is pos
sible, however. to plant the cucum-

ing and train the vines on a support
of wire or strings so that they will
not cucumber the ground or occupy
the space required by other crops.

worshipers assembled 10 celebrate the birthday of Christ
 Six hundred years after the mar tyrdom of the man who is reported to have instituted the Christmas ob- servance, the man to whom tradition assigns teh ideas of the Christmas tree suffered a like fate at the hanoe of the Pagan tribes of Germany.
 he legend of St. Boniface and the first Christmas tree has been beau tifully told The scene lives before us:-The wintry night, the swelling hillock crowned with the great oak tree-the Thunder Oak" sacred to the Pagan god, Thor,-the tongues of ruddy flame, the fountains of ruby sparks from the great fire kindled near the altar at its foot, the curved ranks of white-clad warriors, women and children facing the altar, the hoary High Priest and kneeling child the victim doomed to die by the blow of the hammer, a sacrifice to Thor. the Hammerer.
 Then the coming of Boniface, the blow from the Hammer tunred aside by the Cross, the rescue of the boy the fall of the oak before the mighty blows of the apostle, < the story oi Jesus simply. told and how sin, not human life, is the sacrifice He asks
 "And here said the apostle, as his eyes fell on a young fir tree standing straight and green with its top pointing toward the stars, amid the divided ruins of the fallen oaA here is the living tree, with no stain of blood upon it, that shall be the sign of your new worship. See how it points to the sky. Let us call il the tree of the Christ-child. Take it up and carry it to the Chieftain' hall, for this is the birth-night of the White Christ. You shall go no more into the shadows of the forest to keep your feasts with secret rites ol shame. You shall keep them at home with laughter and song and rites oi love.
 Thus did 'the hour of darkness the power of winted of sacrifice, ane mighty fear" vanish before the glao radiance of redeeming love, and the Pagan oak, whose roots were feC with blood, fall before the fir tree which points to the stars"

MANY NEW YEAR
 PARTIES PLANNED.

With Christmas day a more or less substantial memory, the holiday sea son still holds much enjoyment in the anticipation of festivities incl dent to the welcoming of the New Year. The unanimous verdict seems to be that a finer Christmas has sell dom been recorded and not often old Santa's pack been so heavily laden with gifts or the distribution been more satisfactory In fact it seems to be a sort of an echo of Thanks giving in many an instance where the long coveted has come within the grasp. In consideration of these things, the forecast for the New Year is unusually bright ushered in with the hand of contentment and warm with rose colored tints.

Yet, in thy dark street shineth The everylasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years, Are met in thee tonight. How silently, how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts, The blessings of His Heaven. No ear may hear His coming. But in this world of cin, When meek souls will receive Hin

Old Timers of Risbee
 W-GeOrge Dunn

the Indians were runners for Geronl- mo, who was about at the end of his resources and who wished to surren- der. Preliminary arrangements for his surrender were made immediately and Geronimo and his tribe came as near to Fort Bowie as the John Slaughter ranch Here the savages were sold whisky by two Americans, land after drinking heavily, the Apaches arose in the night and stole away.
 For two years after this Dunn spent his time with a government pack train and was employed thus when the fa- nous chief surrendered in truth, came in with his wives and people, and com posed himself to the thought of going into exile in Florida. Dunn was told that the trip was to begin and was then requested to drive a two-seated blackboard in which Geronimo was to be carried to Bowie station. Dunn was not experienced in handling four horses or mules, but he was under orders, and finally the vavalcade was drawn up, with a carry-all or escort wagon preceding the blackboard In the escodt wagon were Geronimo's sQuaws, while the old chief and two other Indians were in the rear seat of the blackboard. During the confusion preliminary to the start, Geronimo dis appeared. A quick investigation found him in the escort wagon, huddled hn to leave. His reason was his fear that during the ride to Bowie station in the blackboard some outraged settler might shoot him from ambush in re- veneg for the wrong done by him and his people. From that time Dunn has called Geronimo a coward.
 Dunn worked for tn egoyernment in various capacities until 1889. when he took up his permanent residence in Bisbee. His father had returned to Connecticut in 1885, where he had i died. Although he had discovered the ore deposits of Bisbee, and had stalk ed George Warren to make locations ! for him, the duplicity With which he had been treated by his partners had resulted in keeping him from any great participation in the financial re- turns from the district. His son, how ever, looked upon the matter philoso- phically, and even now refrains from untoward criticism of those with whom his father was associated. He took up the life of prospector, for which his love of the great outdoors ! fitted him, and since then has taken care of his various claims in southern Arizona, with Bisbe as his headquar- iters.
 l, Dunn still calls himself a young man and in health, strength and intellect
 he is. He is perhaps the best known
 of the Bisbee pioneers in the district
 and numbers his friends by the hun,
 dreds. He retains a great respect and live for his father, and, with the other first-comers here who knew Jack ! Dunn, remembers him as a man of the
 highest integrity and courage. His
 mother died in Bisbee in 1909. MT Dunn is not married-except to the

Among those pioneers who came into Arizona when the territory was little more than a name, and who, drifting southward, saw Bisbee grow from a handful of prospectors to one of the great copper camps of the world, George Dun, son of the dis coverer of the district, should hold a prominent place. Associated with his father, Jack Dunn, in many of the ac tivities of the latter, and having an intimate knowledge of the men and things that preceded the founding of Bisbee, he ha sa special knowledge of the history of the Warren district, and is a special link binding this age to that of the Apache, the stage line and the bad man.
 George Dunn was born in New York City in 1865. At the age Of 16 years after having attended the public schools of New York, he came to Fort Bowie, wheer his father was a scout in the employ of the United States army. He secured the mail contract here, and for two years drove the mail stage. It was during this period that the last stand of the Apacnes was be ing made, and Dunn had many oppor- tunities of assisting the authorities in running to earth the last of the "hos- tiles as the Apaches were known familiarly
 Because of the fact that he held the mail contract and was in close con tact with governmental activities, he had an opportunity in 1886 of bring ing Geronimo and his savages under a whie flag--a feat which would have brought the activities of the Indians to a close 8 full two years before the actuad surrender of the famous chief had not Americans who were selling liquor to the Indians frustrated the plan.
 The story, which is only one of a score of the same kinw that Dunn can recount of the Indians, is as fol lows:
 One day he was driving h1s stage to Fort Bowie, and had come within three miles of the fort when he saw in rounding bend of the road, three Indians standing motionless in it Two had rifles and the third was armed with bow and arrows. Dunn reached for his revolver, but the In dians raised theic hands in the air and walked down to the stage. They spoke to Dunn in Apaches, which he could not understand. and then point ed down the mountin towards the fort Dunn sensed that they wanted the pro lection of the mail stage in getting ino he for and so he drove on, the Indians following. At the sutler': store Dunn met his father, who wa: we'll acquainted with the Apache tongue, and who, after interrogatins the savages, brought them to head quarters. Here it was ascerIained tha
