COLONEL EPES RANDOLPH.

In a recent interview, Colonel Epes Randolph, the we'll known, patriotic Arizonian who com mands the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, said:
 II believe that the work of the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis Association as outlined in their program for this year is excel lent and peculiarly adaptable to our State, which is blessed with a health giving climate. Hun dreds of people afflicted with tuberculosis seek refuge here every year. and humanity de- mands that we do whatever we can to help these sufferers. l can conceive of no better way in which to raise funds for this purpose than to ask our people to buy Red Cross Christmas seals. It is democratic method because in this way every man and woman can contribute in accordance with their respective means. I feel sure that Arizona will do her share in promoting this good work"

ATHLETES OF REMOUNT
HAVE STELLAR NIGHT.

The atmosphere Monday night at
Remount was full of Thoroughbred
pep" The hop. skip and jump contest
started the ball rolling and Long
legged" Sehr was victorious. '.a
The team burden carrying race was
next. Each team was composed OF
three men, two of whom carried the
third man on their hands. which were
crossed in the form Of a seat. Sehr
and Stifel, carrying ODonnell, came
in winners.
Third on the. list was the medicine
ball backward throw. The contestant
had to throw the medicine ball back
ward over his head, and Bartonce
won.
The cock fight was a comedy all by
itself. The men were lined up In a
circle in squatting position, with
their arms locked around their legs.
The object was to bump into their.
opponents, thereby either knocking
them over or forcing them out of the
King It would give any spectator
the Impression of a, war between the
toad and frog families. The only
man who could stand the ordeal was
Sehr.
The one-foot hoping race. Each
participant held one foot with his
hand, hopping along on the other
foot, and the hopper that hopped the
fastest was Hamilton.
Boxing, blindfolded. was the sixth
event. The two contestants put ON the
boxing gloves and then were blind
folded. Next the men were tied
around the waist with the opposite
ends of a rope, leaving about five feet
space between them. At the signal they
started, and at the psychological mo-
ment a third party stepped in. equip
ped with pair of gloves. and would
first give one fellow a gentle tap, and
then the other would receive his
share. You know, just to liven things
up a bit. Oh, boy! You should have
seen those two blind scrappers swing
their arms. Believe me, ODOnnel
and Delaney could show Willard and
Dempsey a few pointers.
The stone race was conducted on
the same plan as the well known
potato race, only instead of potatoes
being used stones were substituted.
as they are more plentiful at present
in this region. Glendenning was the
winner.
The thirty-yard Virginia reel dash
was a new one. The men got lined up,
and, at the signal, turned around
quickly eight times: then endeavored
to run straight ahead for thirty yards.
This stunt. is very apt. to make a fell
low dizzy and causes quite an amount
of merriment and excitement for the
spectators. O'Donnell came in first
and Delaney was a good second.
The next race was of the same ma
ture as the last mentioned. This time
the men had to circle twelve times
and run straight ahead for fifty
yards. Frigault came in a winner.

proven one of the best officers in the

anything for him." This. he de-
clared, was the test of a good officer.
If the men were with him. he could
accomplish anything. Col. Knowles

said, were great fighting leaders"
In the diary of Lieut.. Sheppard, kept
since the early days of life in Camp

lights on the war. He describes the
visit of Canadian officer to the camp

few of the 315th officers would ever
return. I'VE all laughed heartily at
this statement" was his comment in
the diary. showing the wonderful
spirit which dominated the men.

vein. He declared that the boys "sa-
luted the G-I cans that went by and
spoke of them as express trains with

A SOLDIERS STORY.

Dreading more, what's In the future.
Sudden as 1t came. Ii left MS

TO the dangers Of snOw-blindneSs.
Tllen the sun, AZ II in pity
Dropped below the far horizon.
80, with every dog In collar,
TN the trail again we're stPaiMing,
But our search was near Its ending.
Just ahead, tilted dogsled.
In its lee a huddled bundle,
And we knew that II was lifeless.
80 that QCiet form we lifted
TO our sled. Bound II securely,
Turned our faces once more hOmeward.
Swiftly-o'er the snow we glided,
Came at last upon the gold camp.
Eagerly we asked for tidings.
This the story that was told Ms
Man and wife they were. this couple,
With little, prattling baby.
Loved and trusted. each. the other,
Till the coming Of the gambler.
He, with promises Of riches,-
Had. at last, luFed her from duty.
From her husband, and her baby,
To life degraded, shameful.
They had come up to the klOndyke
Followed by the furious husband.
Then fed blindly down the Yukon.
And on past the Port St. Michael,
Followed swift by the avenger.
TIL they met inside the SkOOkum,
Where the treil abruptly ended.
1t was then the woman tainted,
Aud twas hours before O doctor
Cnnld he brought In to attend her.
Told her that her horrs were numbered,
Then, TO him, she told the story.
In the same grave both are lying,
On the open. treeless tundra,
And the bowling northern blizzards
Play across the grave, q requiem.
And upon their common headbOard
Is the one word: 'Retribution."
