pLlNY CREDITED WITH YARN
Ancient Roman said TO Have orIgIna-
ted Remarkable Story Concern
ing Habits Of Tiger.

According to Pliny, when a hunter
wished TO catch tiger cubs he must be
provided with a very fleet horse, and
have another in reserve. "When the
tigress finds her lair empty she darts
forth and tracks them by the smell.
When she comes up to the hunter he
throws one of the whelps to her, with
which she returns to her lair. Then she
rushes back. and he throws another to
her; and this goes on till he reaches
his ship"
Equally interesting is the account in
the "Physiologus" which explains that
sthe hart desIreth the water brooks"
because It had been inhaling the breath
OF dragons. So having filed its stom-
ach from the brook, It browns the
dragon out OF Its hole and Stays 1t with
It's antlers.
Uniforms seem to have given much
trouble In those days, and were exter-
minated In a most unsportsmanlike
fashion. '@The hunters place a virgin
near the spot where the unicorn has its
Abode. The unicorn, seeing her. runs

ton proves his undoing. for ''then CON-

BEG|NS HIS
 SECOND YEAR HERE

James A. Staveley, D. D., pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal. church, Second avenue and Monroe street, will preach his first sermon of the new conference year this morn ing. It was the unanimous wish of the fourth quarterly conference, held tendent, pr. A. w. Atkinson, that Dr. Staveley be returned to Phoenix for this year.
 Dr. Staveley came to Phoenix one year ago from Kansas City, Kan., where for number of years he was district superintendent of that dis tr1ct. His success during his first years work in Phoenix is shown by the annual report of the conference held in Los Angeles last week. All of the organizations of the church, including the Sunday school Ep- worth League, Ladies' Aid society, Women's Home and Foreign Mis- sionary societies and oy Scouts. have done spleBndid work under his lead- ershlp during the past year and are all looking forward to greater work for the coming year.
 The membership of the First Meth odist Episcopal church is more than 1000, and with the splendid leader ship of pr. Staveley for pastor, and with the splendid feeling of cooper alton that exists between pastor and people, no doubt much lasting good will be accomplished for the com munity. The church is to be con- graduated upon the return of such an able pastor for their leader.

 The officers of the Blue Triangle for the year are Miss Eleanor Will kinson, president; Miss Margaret

 AUTUMN
 By Gertrude Bryan leeper There's lit in the air and a woodsy
 brown smell As we dream around the srnoldering
 fires,
 And the blood's all a-tingle From the frost in the dingle, And the tangy smoke closes the eyes. Entertainment holds sway in the dark
 ening forest, As the wind slips quietly along, And the white star lamps Lights the sleeping camps, As the night birds pipe their song. Life may be gay in the glad spring
 time, And filled with joy all the year, But the wild things call When the year furns fall Makes my heart leap forth to hear.

BARNETT WANTS MORE MONEY


 From the New York World.
 Jackson Barnett, the richest Amer ican Indian in the world. is in Wash ington to get a larger allowance from the Indian bureau to build himself and wife a more pretentious abode. He and his wife now receive s2,500 month. but they declare they need more to keep up appearances at Hen- ryetta, Okla. where many rich h. dlans live.
 Barnett would not take an allot- ment when Indians of other tribes were grabbing at them, and the gov ernment forced one on him. Now he revels in wealth because of the oil be meath his land, which nets him large ro- alties. He has S1,01S.000 in government bonds, which the interior department bought for him during the World war at par.
 The big Indian had a romance last year. Am ie L. Lowe, an aggressive and attractive white woman, ran away with Barnett and they were married in Kansas. Barnett's guar dian tried to prevent the marriage and later annul it. but failed in the attempt.
 The Barnetts announce they de- sire a fine residence, to which their means entitle them, but they cannot move without the acquiesence of the federal government, which looks after all the Shoshone tribe. Barnett is 72 years old.
