ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
BY ROY K. MoULToN

A Little Slice o. Life.
The other day a friend
Eased himself into our office.
His necktie was under
His left ear and his hat
Was at an angle of forty-five.
He placed each foot carefully
Before the other when he walked
And finally brought up
At our desk with 1. crash
And made fast.
1t might be alleged, without
Fear of successful contradiction,
That the gentleman
Was carrying contraband.
I'm going to STOP"
He said, just before
Making the usual touch.
Pm goinsh quitsh drinking.
When l shay I'm goingsh stop,
I'm goinsh stop. Y'know me-"
1t sounded interesting,
Tho he had said it often before. D.,
Sure go thish tfme,' he said.
"Ginesh stop forever
when are you going to quit?''
We asked. We always liked him.
I'm goinsh stop Jooly first"
He replied firmly.
And we believed him
For the first time
In his life.

In the full glow of the MONDAY sun
and her hair was flaxen and

A person who was with me said:
Last week she brunette
With her hair like the ravens wing
And now look at hers
1 saw her on the following day
And her hair was red
The red that is in the flag
And in the flannel shirt,
An honest flaming red as one sees
In the Italian sunset.
'.How can such things beg" we asked.
And our friend said:
I'VE will inquire" and he did
How did you get that way, miss?"
He asked politely, hat in hand.
How do you pass from yellow to red:'
She stared at him stoni1y and replied:

We had heard of hennery
But never of a henner shop,
And We can't even find henner

Clifton Copper Era, Nov. 15)

AS a result of an automobile acct
dent on the Clifton Morenci highway
Sunday afternoon between and 6
o'clock, P. B. Scotland, Superintend-
emit of the Arizona Copper Company's
mines, Coronado division, and Mrs.
Scotland, are confined in the hospital
of the company at Morenci. Mr..
Scotland was bruised about the face
and body and in addition had two
ribs broken. Mrs. Scotland also
had three ribs broken and limb
broken in two places.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scotland were re-
turning to Morenci in their Mercer
car after having visited friends in
Clifton and had reached point about
half way between Clifton and Moren-
ci, when, in endeavoring to pass an
other car on a sharp curve, Mr..
Scotland pulled his car out to the
edge of the bank of the cut and in
righting his steering wheel, ran off
the road and down the embankment.
The car turned over twice, going
about twenty-five feet down the hill,
and landing with wheels upright, pin
ming Mr.. and Mrs. Scotland beneath
the running board.
Douglas Pascoe and several others
who witnessed the accident reached
the scene Immediately and assisted IN
reoving the injured to the A. c. Co.
hospital. DR.. T. B. Smith, after an
examination, reported that Mr.. and
Mrs. Scotland were severely injured
and they will be confined to the hos
pital for an indefinite time. The
Mercer car was badly damaged in its
tumble down the hill and it seems
little short of a miracle that the fate
of it's occupants was not more tragic.
Near the scene of this accident
there occurred another in February,
1916, when two of Clifton's prominent
citizens met their death, with injuries
to several others. At the time of go

Select Pictures there have been many
splendid vehicles for Miss Talmadge,
but none has been better suited to
her peculiar type of charm than "Mrs.
Leffingwell's Boots" in which she is
presented by Lewis J. Selznick, and
which will be shown at the Nogales
Theater today. The scenario for "Mrs.
Leffingwell's Boots" is by Edith Ken
nedy, taken from Augustus Thomas
famous play of the same name. The
picture was directed by Walter Ed
wards.
The story is one Of complications
worthy of a French farcical writer,
but it is far less strained than some
of these playwrights' works and
withal carries out a reasonable and
consistent plot to strikinginly origi-
nal denouement.
"Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots" created
furore when it was first produced
in New York as a stage play. 1t
caught the public fancy because it
was so bright, so original and so
witty, The screen version is equally
satisfactory. The support afforded
Miss Talmadge is of the best and the
whole production has been staged on
