Whadday Mean, Peaceful Dove?

From the earliest time the poets of all ages, beginning with the Old East. have used the dove as the chief symbol of harmlessness. innocence and gentleness. These qualities were ascribed by the Romans to their "Columbae." One of the characters of Shakespeare could think of noth- ing more soft and guiltless than the sucking dove"
 But they all had the dove ''wrong'' The writer is not a naturalist or given much to the study of birds, beasts or reptiles but he is prepared to prove that the dove is not only fierce, but a carnivorous creature.
 As he was sitting on a front porch yesterday he observed a dove alight upon piece of meat which the household dog had carried out into the front yard to eat in the society of the family and had left lying there until it had reached some degree of putridity. But that did not deter the gentle and fastidious dove.
 While he was so engaged, three six weeks old chickens espied him and his feast and made a hostile rush at him. Taken by surprise, the dove flew to the lower branches of nearby tree. There the full measure of the outrage came to him and puffing out his feathers until he appeared twice his real size. he swooped at the chickens which backed away from the meat to safe distance. The dove resumed his feasts and stayed until he had eaten his fill the chickens meanwhile watching in amazement the bird which had thus contradicted all tra- dition.
 Twas a He'll of Situation
 'Bilf' is three and a half year old living in the neighborhood of the capitol. His name is not Bill; he has a much more asthetic moniker, but his father calls him .Bill" because of a roughness and readiness of expres- sion and the use of language which he never learned at home. where great care is taken to forestall any rCughneck tendencies.
 The other day Bill. with his parents and couple of neighbors were driv- ing about the valley. In the vicinity of Glendale they came across COW which lay helpless in a ditch.
 T wonder" said Bill. "how she ever got in such hell of a fix.''
 He Travelled Some
 O. c. Thompson, civil engineer, called at the office of this paper yes terday and inquired with solicitude after the state of health of the mathematical editor. He was not sure whether he was sick or whether he was asleep or gone on a journey like the gods of the heathen when their priests were engaged in a con- test with Elijah.
 MT. Thompson had read with in- terest and distrust story yesterday morning describing the speed of Ed die Miller, the automobile racing driver. It was stated that Miller car passed over a distance equal to it's length in one-thousandth of a second.
 Estim ating the length of the car to be 12 feet, it would pass over dis tance of 12,O00 feet in one second, which IS more than ten times as fast as sound travels. In minute 1t would go a distance Of 136 plus miles. MT Thompson believes that this is in excess of legal speed limits even on racing tracks.

 What are you laughing at?" de- manded Rumble grossly.
 At you" replied Little Pete, laugh ing all the harder. You seem to think you are so important, when you are really such a little thing. Why, l am ever and ever so many times bigger than you. Aren't you afraid of mel"
 No replied Rumble grossly You are nothing but foolish little rab- day if you live long enough"
 Little. am I?" cried Little Pete, trying very hard to make himself look big and important Little. am F" Take that,"
 As he spoke Little Pete reached out and struck Rumble with one of his little paws What happened then happened so quickly that Little Pete didn't know what did happen All he knew was that he felt sudden sharp pain right in the tip of his wabbly little nose-such a sharp pain that he cried right out It brought Peter Rabbit in a hurry. But when Peter saw what the trouble was he just laughed Yes. sir. Peter laughed
 Didn't I tell you not to meddlt with Rumble the Pee. and that if you did you surely would be sorry?'' ht asked. This is what comes of not minding. Now, go put some mud or your nose and you'll feel better" "rll never, never meddle with other people again. if they are smaller thar me- sobbed Little Pete as he helt some wet mud on his swollen ant aching nose.

VISITOR PRAISES
 CAPITAL CITY BAND

Editor, The Republican:
 Being in Phoenix just few weeks and coming from Chicago, and hay ing travelled with concert and vau- soloist with the Thavio Exposition band and the Chicago band, thought I would be lost without my music when came to Phoenix, as I had an idea there would be little real music in a small city, but to my pleasant surprise l find instead fine city, with a great organization of accom-
 plished musicians and fine array of local talent that 1t may be very proud of.
 I wish to compliment Phoenix in having such an able conductor as
 Prof. F. A. Venne, who is producing
 beautiful music from group of mu-
 sicians who have only been together short period. Professor Venne and
 Manager Davenport have taken an amateur organization and moulded 1t into a band that can be included amongst the leading municipal bands in the country.
 Phoenix should be congratulated in being able to get together an aggre- gation of artists assembled from the ranks of the high school students and business men of the city. The city should see to it that the Capital city band becomes a permanent institu- ] ton and should be maintained 1 throug bout the winter and summer to | be able to give concerts all the year | around. The band would be a great | drawing card for the tourists who | spend their winters in your beautiful | city and would be the talk of the | country when the tourists return to l their respective homes, and am sure | they would spend their winters here | every year, especially real lovers o1 | good and wholesome music.
 also wish to compliment A. J

 ciation was perfect and his baritone
 voice was never better, and on hear.

 eeban and Lloyd at ceIuubia
 George Beban. famous portrayer of foreign dramatic characters, has one of the best roles of his career in One Man in a Million.' feature film play at Mauk's Columbia thea ter for the last times today. A Harold Lloyd comedy. entitled All Aboard" shares honors with the Beban feature for today.
 The story of "One Man in a Mill lion" is told in the foreward which declares that now and then there is born. in . humble sphere, a man who lives in the image of his Maker As Lupino Delchini. . humble Italian, MT. Beban sets an example of hon. esty and love which, If practiced at large. would make for a brighter existence. The picture is far from a preachment and contains a score of comedy situations that are real knockouts.
 Lupino Delchini spreads happiness ness. shown in the early episodes of the picture. brings him a reward in the form of a job as pound master Tn a western town. Then follows a series of scenes wherein Mir. Beban has shown his skill as an author by introducing in the cleverest possible that we like best in pictures There is most delightful love theme which Is really two-edged.
 In addition to the Harold Lloyd comedy. in which Bebe Daniels is CO., starred. the Columbia program for | the last times today includes a Rex Beach Adventure film. a Prixms Natural color film. and a Patht Special. a new screen offering in thi. 1 city.
