Today In History
 Slightly Jazzed

Robert Leighton. who died 236 years ago today, June 2S. 1884, is about the only man on record who escaped mat rimony despite the efforts of every unmarried female in his precinct. Rob ert's father used to come home from lodge late, sit up with sick friends, or have business down town nights with such horrible consequences that the lad vetoed Cupid early in the game and resolved to play a lonesome hand.
 Nobody could snare him. Finally spinster of his church called upon him during leap year and admitted coyly that an angel had appeared to her and had commanded her to led him with out any unnecessary delay
 She thought she had him until an alibi popped into his fertile brain.
 Undoubtedly, my good sister" he responded, you have done right in telling me of this command from above. but in order that everything may be regular and that we may not mix up any celestial records. do you not think that we had better postpone the orange blossoms until this angel also appears to me and thus makes it unanimous?" 2"
 The spinster waited until death for the bishop to get the message.

 The Sandwich Island sugar cane spoken of in the Herald a few days ago, sent by Major Hooper has been received and mostly distributed by the Herald to whom that duty was en- trusted. There were nine large sacks full, one-half of which we gave to Nj. Wormser and the balance to J. E. Montgomery, William Isaac, Frank PerceIli, N M. Broadway. William Laughlin and Cerd Braue and we still have half sack left If it is proved beyond a doubt that it will flourish here, we may expect San Francisco capitalists to take hold of the matter and put in an acreage and build mills that will make this industry second 10 none in the valley.

CHIEF JUSTICE HAS
 NEVER VOTED HERE

For the first time during his resi- dence in Phoenix, which has been since statehood when he was elected to the supreme court Chief Justice Cunning ham yesterday registered as voter of Maricopa county. He and Mrs. Gun ningham entered their names on the rolls in the office of County Recorder Edith M. Jacobs and as a result will cast their vote at the general election in this city.
 Heretofore both Justice Cunningham and Mrs. Cunningham have returned to their former home in Cochise county to register. Two years ago they were compelled to remain in Phoenix, owing to the influenza epidemic, and so lost their vote at the November election of 1918.
 That is a chance I do not care to take a second time.' said Justice Cum ningham in speaking of his failure in casting his ballot.
 Maricopa is the fourth county in the state in which Justice Cunningham has become a registered voter. He cast his first vote in Arizona when resi- dent of Coconino county. Later he voted in Pima county and still later in Cochise. He has lived in Arizona for g years.
