Turning Back the Calendar Seventeen Years Ago Today in Bisbee
(FrOm Daily Review of Saturday August 16 1sO2)

new forest reserve was created in Co chise county. It embraces five town ships in the Chiracahua mountains and will be known as the Chircahua forest reserve.
 P. G. Poore, who has been in the pest house with small pox for the past two weeks, is getting along as well as could be expected. This is the only case that has developed since those early in the spring.
 F. V. Pinney, who is interested in the Bisbee Daily Review, and who was compelled to leave Bisbee on account of his health last year, will return to- day from Eos Angeles ready to again assume the position of manager of the job printing department of this paper.
 One thing that should be looked in- to by the water company is the clean l ing of the tanks. ITO my knowledge" said leading citizen yesterday, ''the tank on the hill has not been cleaned for the past five or six years. At a At time when fever is so prevalent there should be the utmost care ex- ercised in having the purest water that it is possible to obtain"

young ladies. that such things must

fight or to the meeting at Bristol
There is no one left TO take the warn

The girls listened with wide eyes as
they were dismissed for the day be-
cause Marin Jenkins must see to her
wounded nephew. But their eyes
would have opened wider had they
seen the doings of Matilda Pole in her
funny bonnet, after she was escorted
to her own front gate. The fact was.
Matilda had an idea. She knew that
if she told anyone she would never be
allowed to carry it out as they were
strict with girls in those days. and It
was not proper. Oh no, not in the
least proper But oh, how she loved
the cause of liberty for which her
brother and father were drilling at
Bristol.
God moves in a mysterious way"
she said piously. "Mayhap was meant
to lose my hair so 1 could help the

Died July 4. 1926.

% UST fifty years after the signing
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Thomas Jefferson, the an
thor of the famous document,
went quietly to sleep from which he
never awoke.
In a graveyard in Monticello. Vir-
the inscription:
Here was buried
THOMAS JEFFERSON
Author of the Declaration of indie
pendence
OF the Statutes of Virginia for Re-
ligious Freedom
And Father of the University OF
Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson, THE Friend Of
the People" was born in 1743. His
schooling was scant, but he was very
fond of books and determined to At
himself for college education. Like
George Washington, he endured the
hardships of pioneer life surveying
the uninhabited American lands. and
in his odd moments he devoted him
self to his books. At college he made
MANY friends. for his cagerness and
warm heartedness won the admtra-
ton and love of all who met him. All
through his life Jefferson was kind
and true. Politeness was his watch
word. and his charming manners wen
for him the devotion of his friends,
the respect of his enemies and the
alteration of his slaves. The story Is
told that one day Jefferson and his
grandson were riding together whom
a passing negro bowed TO them. The
Young man paid no heed to the greet
ing. but Jefferson politely retiir Led
the bow. His grandson looked at him
in surprise. why did you bow 10
theSoId man." he asked. Would you
permit a negro to be more OF a gen
tIeman than you are?" Jefferson re-
piled.
Another attribute OF the great JEFF
ferson was his simplicity. He was
one of the first men of high political
power to abandon the elaborate dress
OF the day-the beruffed shirt and
knee breeches-and to adopt the
plain garb which is not unlike that
worn by men today. He believed
that rich and poor should be equal.
and that pomp should be done away
with. on March 4. 1901. he tied his
horse to a fence and entered the Sen
ate Chamber to be sworn into office
as President OF the United States.

told of jefferson during the years of

ALICE LEARNS A LESSON

Now. here's a secret about Alice.
Mother knew 1t and that is why she
looked so sad when Alice made her
little confession.
Alice-pretty, brown-eyed Alice
was selfish! She always ran off by
herself to eat her candy When she
got a new book or doll she slipped
of alone and read or played. She
never wanted to share her goodies"
with her little sister and brother.

would say, lis my daughter going to

Of hrecrackers went off with a
snap. The bright red paper be-

curied up and blew away. Her party
seemed over as Alice turned to go into
the house. over by the tree-box she
spied one little firecracker which had
failed to go of.

Marin Patience. IF your heart be
right what matters your locks?"
Which might be true enough but
not very consoling. The young
danes" of the school. however. were
soon at their TASKS when suddenly a
loud rap sounded at the door. Marin
Patience looked frightened and one of
the girls screamed because those were
troublous times and one never could
tell If a rap meant friend or foe. Marin
Patience's good maid Mary went
creeping along to answer the knock,
carrying a poker half hidden under
her apron.

want?" shouted Mary in as gruff a
voice as she could muster.
"A friend" answered a faint voice
Mary opened the door a crack and
whom did she see but a pale and tat
tered agure-Miss Patience's nephew?
30 goodness meH' screamed Mary.
Walk in. Mr.. James,"
The school room was Miss Patience's
parlor and the girls could see all that
went on. Their teacher rushed out
into the hall. the lavendar ribbons
on her cap fairly flying. Then she was
seen TO help the young man upstairs

~HIS is tho time of the year
M when every healthy boy wants
to get out of doors and be there
most of the time. Judging from
my own experience, I believe there
are very few boys who do not want
to play around the water-or in 1t.
One of the finest and most interest
ing sports for real boys is the max
ing and sailing sof boats, for there Is
just as much pleasure in making them
as there is in sailing them after they
are constructed.
1t is rather difacult to preserve the
exact lines and equipment of the large
boats when making a small one like
this. but I think YOU will agree that
the copy is rather a good one. 1t will
give you a chance to do some good,
careful work.

indeed, with the results. They will
be worth all your time and effort.
When the hull has been completed
to your satisfaction, locate and bore
a hole for a piece of hollow curtain
pole. This piece of metal is placed
as indicated to prevent water from
getting into the hold of the boat.
Through this metal piece the rudder
post is fitted. The details OF the rud-
der and post are shown in detail and
they may be made next and fitted into
position. Next make the sticks for
the support of the rigging and sails.
The arrangement of the string Is
shown clearly on the drawing and a
careful study of it will enable you to
rig the ship so it will look much
like a regular sail boat. Be very
careful in getting out pieces B. d. Z,

made and placed as shown in the pic
ture. Detailed instructions as TO these
is thought unnecessary. so are not
given.
The Boat should be well painted for
protection against the water. The
color scheme is left entirely with each
individual maker. You might try your
skill at camoufage. Perhaps you may
not like this variegated color scheme
and will prefer to do Just straight
painting. A little thought will give
you a very nice looking model.

a man who spoke very bitterly against
the President. Are you acquainted
with Mr., Jefferson" the President
asked. II am not, neither do I wish

man. Then" suggested the Presi-
dent. "if you will go to this house

When the following day the man
learned that he had been speaking
with no less person than Thomas JET
ferson, the President. he was so struck
by the charm and pleasing personality
OF the fair-minded President that he
ceased to rail against him and become
his fast and Arm friend.
After Jefferson left the White House
he lived at Monticello. where he kept

He was forced to sell his library
which had taken him almost fifty
years to build up, but even the money
raised in this way did not help him

relief that they planned for him..
