called Mr.. Carnegie's attention par
ticularly to this detail of DR.. Grenfells
activities, as I knew it would espe-
cially interest him. He insisted on
knowing who furnished the funds for
the work in general. and the exact
amount subscribed by each OF the
larger contributors. The information
must have been satisfactory. for he
put himself down for 1000, and init
mated that the gift might be made an
annual one.
Sure enough, a check for the same
| amount was forthcoming the next
year, and DIR. Grenfell happening to
be in New York not long afterward I
took him to East Ninety-first
| street, and introduced him to the
donor. Mr.. Carnegie seemed to be
much taken with his visitor, whom /

barrassment) "the finest fellow on
Gods footstool." We were admitted

negie walked down stairs with us and
through the long hall to the front
door: and on parting he urged the
missionary to come and see him again
when next he was in town. Within
less than a year, however, he cut down
lis contribution to the work in Lab
rador from $1,000 to $250-and my cry
OF anguish left him unmoved!

to his means, but to the needs Of
the beneficiary. Yet some who eX-
pected little were surprised by getting
much.
Mr.. Carnegie once consulted my
brother as to the ACCESSIBILITY of PEN
sioning a certain man OF letters and
as to the amount necessary to relieve
him of anxiety. After considering the
case in all fits aspects, the adviser
who was the soul OF generosity
named an income that seemed to him
fully adequate. ooh, Gilder!" ex-
claimed Mr.. Carnegie, why not make
him happy?" And he fixed the peli.
sion at twice the rate suggested.
From many a friends widow Mr..
Carnegie took in trust the small funds

death of dear friend. Mr.. Carnegie
made inquiry as to the exact amount
of the widows income. Her family
prepared a rigidly correct statement
and submitted 1t to him. Before he
had taken action a copy OF the state

Clever man that he was he pointed out
two or three items which, he thought
might have been conscientiously
omitted, but unfortunately, as II
seemed, it was too late to revise the
list. The actual figuring, however
proved to have been most fortunate
for instead OF adding enough TO bring
the income up to a given amount Mr.
Carnegie simply doubled 1t.

Some time later a friend of Grenfell's
sailed for a visit to Skibo Castle. His
kindly offices with the Laird had
been sought by many friends with
axes to grind; but he assured the mis-
sionary that he meant to ignore all

 Q. Have men ever carried parasols? N. $. W.
 A. Yes. It was not until the 18th century that the parasol became dis tinctly an article of feminine costume. Large and elaborate parasols have from time immemorial been a mark of honor and official dignity in the Orient. In India in 1877 when the prince of Wales made his famous tour, he was com pelled, that he might properly impress the natives, to ride upon an elephant and have over his head a parasol with frame of gold, and with a covering stitched with precious jewels.
 O. What is the best way to clean tobacco pipes? E. F.
 A. The following is one of the sim plest methods of cleaning a tobacco pipe: Cut one-half inch from the end of an ordinary cork and fit it tightly into the bowl of the pipe. Then with knife cut hole through the cork wide enough to admit the nozzle of a water tap with little pressure; turn on the water gently until the flow through the stem is sufficiently strong and let il run until the pipe is clean.

Treatment of Prisoners

law should be enacted making it a felony for officer to abuse by force or words a prisoner either in confinement custody. A man has just been sentenced to state prison for years for slaughter which is said to have grown of such abuse. During struggle between an officer and the defendant in jail for the possession of the of ficer's gun in nearby town men were killed. The defendant claims that he only acting in defense of his brother whom he says the officer maltreating and who one of the killed
 The testimony the trial did not indicate that an escape had been planned that the defendant was man of vicious disposition In the county jail of this county less than year ago deputy was attacked by some prisoners and severely stabbed in the of what might have been an attempted jail break though that not made clear
 Some of the prisoners said that the deputy at tackled mistaken by them for another who us. ually locked them up at night and uniformly in suited and abused them. They expressed regret at the stabbing of who had always treated them with consideration
 A deputy or other peace officer has no more right to abuse prisoner than any outsider has. He has other business than to see that the prisoner does not escape from jail. In the discharge of that business he right to exert force against him except to prevent him from escaping or to compel obedience to reasonable rules, and he has right in any circumstances to belabor him with words.
 The administration of the third degree" in cer- tain circumstances is improper but it should be conducted only by the proper officials. The jailor is not a proper person And such a proceeding is never proper unless the prisoner is charged with very serious crime and then it should not be marked by violence and brutality.
 We are pleased to announce that under the administration of Sheriff Montgomery the abuse of prisoners is forbidden.

Effect of the Late Suit

The suit brought to prevent the transfer of title of the Central School property but chiefly block the million dollar hotel enterprise not without good result It has probably forwarded the enterprise if it needed forwarding It disclosed such sentiment throughout the city in favor of the hotel must have surprised the promoters of the enterprise. Otherwise they might have known how vitally and deeply the people of Phoenix were concerned in the hotel project.
 And this sentiment which may have been awakened in large part by indignation against the measures adopted to prevent the building of the hotel-will not die out with the withdrawal of the suit.
 Many citizens who had previously not felt a great deal of interest in the project whose interest in it remote, feel that they have personal interest That is to say the suit has had the effect in way, of converting it from private project into a semi-pubc enterprise.

THE SONG OF THE STARS

 A new-nade world heard the Shadows say thousand thousand years away, With desert-paces in dim review (The dust of stars we never knew): You're a wonderful world In your wide wide sweep And you startle the stars In the spaces deep But dreamed all that Ere went to sleep You have shaken Times Shadows wide awake With thunder of heavens the heights you
 take, And you hold the heights in the blaze the lights. And you order the days. bind and loosen the
 nights. You're wonderful wordl Like the Light in your leap To the gates where the keys Of all wanders they keep; But dreamed all that Ere we went to sleep. We climbed you climb in the years without date Since the First Man waved farewell to Eden's lost
 gate; And we said to the starlight that kissed dust and
 clover,
 That God Himself envied the earth we'd made
 overl Twas a wonderful worldl- Back to rest shall creep. For we dwet with old wonders, Now Time -hidden-deep: We were weary of wonders, And God gave us Sleep' Frank l. stanton in the Atlanta Constitution.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it proper to typwrite a per- sonal letter? F. s.
 A. It is proper if you do the typing yourself but much more personal to write it in long hand. A strictly per- sonal letter should never be dictated.
 Q. Is there any way to prevent ,chig- ger bites when going blackberrying? N. F.
 A. Buy about ten cents worth of flour of sulphur from a drug store and rub the sulphur on the body, especially around the ankles.
 Q. From what plant are panama hats made? H. C.
 A. Panama hats are made from the unexpanded leaves of the stemless screw pine (Carludovica palmato), a native of Central America and Colom- bia. After special treatment to remove the soft parts of the leaf, the fiber is soaked to render it pliable and the weaving is done under water. The hats most valued are made from single leaves. The plant from which the hats are made has been introduced into Java, while experiments for it's intro- duction into the Philippines have also

 Last month the 4th division was re- leased from the 3rd army (Army of Occupation) for return home, but ;he order was cancelled when tke peace treaty was not signed, as a result we are still here and many of the boys have re-enlisted again as they figured we might stay here another year and they might just as well have the ex- tra. money.

 That would be a natural effect upon the price of cement in competition with brick stone and um- Der. Here with the manufacture of cement, troIed by the people there could be such compe- tition and the valley would be forever assured of low priced the most enduring building material
 We do not think the people will let this chance pass by. We have immediate opportunity of saving more than a million and half dollars in road building alone within the next two three years. It would mean saving of other millions in the completion of entire county road building program providing for a paved road system reaching into part of the county where people live. And then, too there will be cement at low rates for state road construction the saving of many millions to the taxpayers of the state among whom the farm CTS of Maricopa county.
 This is the biggest thing we know of. for the people of this county-it offers the biggest saving and saving is better than making In the very na- ture of things, unless cement is produced at home it must always be high priced here-higher than almost anywhere else in the United States Even if the cement trust were to content with moderate profit still would have to pay a high price.
