n prosperous term. Instead, he re-
manned his few months in the White
House what he had been in congress,
a lieutenant of Blaine, whom he ap-
pointed to the secretaryship of state
with the love of a comradeship of
eighteen years"-and who became at
once the power behind the throne.
The only president to step directly
from the capitol to the White House,
he was without executive experience or
tastes. His whole training had been
to debate and compromise, not to act
or decide on his sole responsibility.
Garfield himself was rather indiffer-
ent 10 factions, liking to get along with
all men. He appreciated Conkling's
reluctant but timely support in the
campaign and invited him out to Men
tor in the winter to talk over the New
York patronage. He thought Of inyit-

Blaine whispered no.

With Garfield's hand, Blaine had
thrown down the gauntlet TO the
naughty chieftain of the "Stalwart"
clan and a duel Of factions was on in
blind fury. The administration sue
ceeded in beating Conkling in the SEN

same kind. Last fall an agent came
along, selling soap that would do
everything you can think of, from
beautffying the female complexion TO
chasing the cows out of the corn The
agent talked as though he had eight
day works In him, like our old grand
fathers clock. and he didn't make any
impression until he said the soap
would heal all skin diseases of man
or beast. 1t happened at that period
that Mr.. Curfew had an imitation bird
dog that he traded good watch for,
and gave dollar to boot, said dollar
having been extracted from my pri-
vate savings, and never returned.

rubbing against everything he could
find, first and last. One day he up
set my parlor table and broke all my

table a few minutes before. He also
upset the sewing machine and the
churn, and don't know what else.
$50 when Mr.. Curfew heard that
ne agenrs soap wouIu cure skin dis

and after he had gone he began to
wash the dog with that marvellous
soap. I don't know what ingredients
said soap contained, but after 1t was |
rubbed into the dogs skin that IN
fortunate animal became frantic ard |
acted as though its reason tottered on
its throne. Mr.. Curfew tried to hold
the beast, and 1t reached around and
bit his ear almost off, and of course
he released it then, and the uproar
he made, as he danced around the
house, holding his ear with one hand,
and summoning the police with the
other was simply scandalous.
Meanwhile the dog ran off, en-
tirely demented. Mrs. Turpentine
was crossing the road pushing her
baby buggy, when the animal collided
with said vehicle, and spilled her OFF
spring into the mud. l am willing
to admit that such an experience was

WINTER CAMPING IS
 PLAN FOR SCOUTS
Outdoor Life Beneficial Two
 Scouts With ShaCkleton


 The usual custom of camping only m summer time is being reversed in hundreds of Boy Scout troops by es- taolishing what are known as week end" and winter" camps. The na- tional department of camping, of which George D. Pratt, the former conservation commissioner for the State of New York, is chairman, is lnaugurating campaign to extend to scouts in 17,600 troops the practice of frequent short-term outings, extend ed during the entire school year, it being generally accepted that during the winter season there is greater need and greater opportunity for healthful outdoor exercises which camps afford.
 A startling announcement has been made that there are more full days of school vacations between the first of September and the last of June than are offered by the entire months of summer vacation time in which to Icultivate the habit of living with safety, enjoyment, and profit in camps There are many advocates of. this modern style of vigorous camping for boys, among whom are: Daniel Car. ter Beard, author of many handicraf, books; Dillon Wallace, author and Labrador explorer; Frederick K. Vree. land, engineer, author, and Alaskan camper; Marshall McLane, president of the Camp Fire Club of America John Burnham, president of the wilt life conservation commission, who hal recently returned from an extended tour in Siberia and Major w. J Welch, general manager of the Palis ades interstate park commission.

 A Good Turn Elected Him.
 James Davis, for years congress man from Missouri, told at a Wash ington sco tt celebration the story of how a typical scout good turn had elected hilh. "One morning." he said, when ] | was about 20, I was riding my horse | into town when I met a boy who had been riding a mule loaded with a sack of corn. The sack had faller | off, and the boy was not able to put l it back single handed. "I dismounted, took off my coat and put tn boy and the corn back or ! the mule. Then I went on, and for got all about it.
 | Nearly twenty years later I was candidate for congress in the primar- l ies. I didn't have much chance ir the 'enemy's country but learned that some one there was very busy getting votes for me. I had no idea who he could be. In the end I wa: l nominated by 47 votes.

THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN SeOWS
THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN,
Carter Should
 Reach Phoenix
 This Afternoon

Matchmaker Williams stated last night that Tommy Garter would posi- lively reach Phoenix tonight or to- morrow morning for his bout with Billy Alger at the Arizona Athletic club arena next Friday night.
 The bout which was originally booked for last Friday was postponed one week to give Carter's tin ear chance to heal.
 The Carter Alger bout has attract ed more attention than any match ever made in the city. The support CTS of both boys are willing to risk the family dinner set that their fa- yorite will win and there is plenty of jack to cover both sides.
 While the last meeting between Alger and Carter was far from being decisive 1t serves to place Alger on an equal footing with Carter and gives his supporters plenty of room for an argument. The bout will remain in the air until after the boys settle the question in the arena Friday.
 Spaw and Scotty will come back to settle an old score in the semi final and two other good preliminaries will start the evening off right. If Carter should reach Phoenix this morning both fighters will give a public workout at the arena this aft ernoon. However. Matchmaker Will Hams has arranged u give several public workouts during the week in order to give the fans line on the boys.

 Crandall has shifted his lineup to make room for two new stars. Charlie Lewis who for several years starred on the Glendale team will play left filling the position vacated by Fin ley westfall who went back to the Sox for Murphy and Cooper Murphy will play right field and Izzy Is slated to cover third.
 Salazar and Wonders will be the opposing pitchers when the game starts at Eastlake park this afternoon rain or shine.

 Arizona Republicans:
 The Mesa baseball team sticks to it's original challenge to play the Phoenix Tigers a three game series on a winner take all basis. One game to be played in each city and the third game to be played in the city winning the toss up.

 "The Mesa team does not care to (for the good of basebalD have any thing whatever to do with a side bet
