PRESCOTT GIRL
 WINS MORE LAURELS

Miss Nydia Acker has returned 10 Prescott after a two months en- gagement with the government at Douglas in the interesting work of what is termed "Amrricanizing the Mexican" her duties covering a wide scope of teaching children and in- structing the adult i'll sanitation, the better way of living, and the care of the home. In her efforts to advance this race she states the duty was agreeable, in which her subjects readily and appreciatiyely responded. Also were the American people very much pleased with the teachings of Miss Asker, whose sacrificing work was highly commended.
 During her sojourn in Douglas a crusade against the fly was organ ized, the city health officer co-operat- ing, in which the destruction of these disease carriers occasioned widespread and favorable approval. In fact, as a press account relates, Douglas was cleaned up from cellar to garret, and this young lady was lauded for her efforts. Miss ACker, it will be remembered, volunteered without compensation during the war in the dietition service at Belle .vue hospital, New York, and her se- lection for the Douglas job was due to her excellent record in serving the government so capably. She iS leaving Prescott in few days for the cost to join her mother and sis ter and will enjoy a vacation for the summer. It is quite probable a fed eral position will await her later, in which her high class scientific train ing will be sought.

Prescott's beautiful plaza was a scene of life and exuberant joy last night at the band concert. As the strains of music Aoated out over the city, the boom of an occasional giant ire cracker sounded forth as an ac- compartment to the drum, and the light from hundreds Of "sparklers" in happy children's hands vied with the electric lights.
 The Rough Rider monument stands up in the center like a sentinel keep ing guard over the romping children and the big gray Court House made an excellent back ground to the scene. That's all. Beg pardon. that's getting too near the sentimental

AA/ Americans were still pi0-

The country was full of men
who had seen service in war against

had been all his life soldier. 1t is
not surprising that American officers
felt quite able to handle the military
situation without assistance from the
host Of applicants for commissions
from abroad. Therefore when WASH
ington heard that young Frenchman
named Lafayette had left his wife and
child and crossed the ocean to serve
the American cause as a volunteer
without pay, he muttered: "One more
incumbrance" But Lafayette pleaded: /:
give me q chance; do not want to
be an honorary soldier"
He went to Washlngton's camp and
there began a friendship which ran
through 30 many years like an idyl. In
1888 Brissot visited Washington at Mt

Toward the close of the year 1778,
the duke of Cumberland, who was the
brother Of King George III Of England.
was travelling In France. and one day
he arrived at the town Of Metz. then a
French possession. A certain count De
Br0glie, veteran Of many battles,
was in command Of the garrison, and.
to do honor to his distinguished visitor.
he invited some Of his officers to meet
him at dinner. Now II happened that
the duke Of Cumberland was In dis
favor with his royal brother-he was,
in fact, in banishment. He had lately
received news that certain Of his
maJesty's colonies In America had re-
belled and declared themselves free,
declining to be subject any longer to a
tyrannlcal king. It would seem that
the duke Of Cumberland told the story
with some gusto. as II he were not al
together sorry that his brother was In
trouble. One officer listened with par
ticular attention. He was a youth of
nineteen, tall and thin, with q long
nose and reddish hair. His solemn ex-
preston and his somewhat awkward
manner contrasted strongly with the
frivolous ease and grace Of the other
young officers present. He was a mar
quis Of long descent, connected by
marriage with one Of the greatest
families In France, and he had at his
own disposition a very large income.
He listened intently, he asked many
eager questions. and when he rose
from the table he had made a moment
Gus and historic resolution. He had
resolved to abandon the pleasures and
luxuries Of the gayest court In the
world. even to leave his young wife
and child. and to cast in his lot with
these strange rebels In America. In

American independence, my heart was

painful injuries Monday after
noon when a wagon engaged in
hauling for him ran over his
body.
Mr.. Myrick was riding on the
wagon occupying a position on
one side between the wheels. He
probably became over-beated
which caused him to fall from
the wagon in a faint, the rear
wheel passing over him before
the driver could stop.
While Mr.. Myrick's injuries
were very painful, they were
not serious and he is able to be
out.
