Of life of labor there rarely awaits prizes that many people envy.
 The concern of men and women about the working day should he about the working day Of those who labor with their hands and physical strength. A proper limitation of the hours would bring grsater happiness to the workers and corresponding increase Of efficiency. The worker with his brain should concern himself with his own hours, using them, and himself, as well as his employer, fairly, In this time Of rush after riches and advancement overwork ia no idle menace.

MATER AND ICE.

Of course it Is good idea to have the water which, when frozen into ice is sold in this city, analysed. But 1t must be remembered that even impure water might become better ice through the destruction of some of the germs in the process of freez- ing. As city and looking at the matter selfishly, we are not concerned with the water in these ponds from which ice is harvested, after the ice has been cutAprovided the ice is pure.

SPEED REGULATIONS.

Any time the Chief of Police of tho
 city announces that he will see to il
 that some special law or ordinance
 is to be more rigidly enforced com-
 mendation should be expressed. The
 laws and ordinances are made to be
 enforced, and while there seems to
 be less reason for complaint as to
 the speed which drivers of cars in
 New Britain take. Chief Hart would
 not undoubtedly have made a point
 Of emphasizing the speed rules here
 had there been no occasion for the announcement.
 Frequent occasion has been taken to commend New Britain drivers Of
 motor vehicles for the moderation which>seems to be habitual with most of them. It is comparatively rarely that a driver is seen to exceed the Is mile an hour speed required by our law in built-up sections. But those rare occasions when drivers do exceed that limit are the sources of Trouble which make this announce ment timely.
 Despite the increasing number of accidents drivers as q rule are learn fi ing the wisdom of careful driving. When the automobile was less com mon than at present it seemed impos- ssible for many to refrain from dem- onstrating before an awed group of sonlookers just how fast they could drive, anywhere, everywhere. People were more respectful and fearful of them and always watched out" when the honk of a horn was heard. Today pedestrians simply cannot stop to look about them every time an auto- mobile horn is heard. They, the pedestrians, would never get any where for the honk of the horn is a continuous sound. And the drivers sof cars are learning that they are not "the only pebbles on the beach" They must keep their eyes open, too.
 Today automobile drivers must ob- serve the speed laws or walking will become practically Impossible. Care iful observapce of these regulations is becomihg the mark of decency and courtesy, as stepping aside, in a crowded place while a woman passes, used to carry that distinction. It is for the well-bred person especially to show decency and consideration as they drive their cars.

WITNESS TELLS HOW
 BROPHY LOST HIS LIFE

Details hetherto unknown were brought to light during the hearing for the probate of the will of the late William H. Brophy, former Phoenix and Bisbee banker, who was drowned in the Gulf of California November 13 last. The petition, heard before Judge Frank C. Lyman, was brought hy the widow, Mrs. Ellen Brophy, through her attorney, John E. San ders of Bisbee.
 A number of witnesses were called. The first was Edward M. Mather of Nogales, who was with MT. Brophy on the fishing and hunting trip. In opening, he stated that eight were in the party as follows: Leslie Hardy, Otto Herold, .Dr. V. A. Smoker, Ferd Van MOurick, F.. B. Sloan, Robert Howell, Mr. Brophy and himself.
 He stated that they were on a voy- age to Tiburon island and intermediate points in the gulf. Since leaving the port of Guaymas early in the morn- ing, they had been fishing, he said, and only casual attention had been paid to the lines thrown over the sides until dusk, ten miles off shore, when Mr. Brophy and MT. Howell went to the stern of the ship to haul them in for the night, taking the port and starboard sides, respectively.
 In a lurch of the vessel Mir. Brophy was thrown against the rail and, in trying to recover his equilibrium, his feet slipped on the deck, wet from the spray. On the return lurCh of the boat he was thrown over the side. The ship was brought to a stop in a few moments and the other members of the party called MT. Brophy. He answered seven or eight times in 9 clear, strong voice, as if he had com Pletc control of himself.
 The prOpeIlers were reversed mean while and his later calls seemed to be close by. Darkness had completely fallen by the time the ship had re- turned and the search was made un- der trying difficulties. The party and crew searched the surrounding water for 90 minutes or so, but it was be- coming rough, as the choppiness of the sea had increased with the min utes, and they were forced to abandon the search for the night. The witness said he and his companions favored but the captain of the yes sel opposed such a course, pointing out that his ship was shipping heavy seas while she stood idly by and the winds coming up, predicted storm of more or less serious proportions.
 FenwiclI G. Hamilton, of Douglas, as a witness on behalf of the petition CT, stated that he went to Guaymas November is and that he searched for the body until November 30. The search is still on, he said, with light house tenders constantly on the look out. A reward of $1,O00 for the re- covery of the body at any time has been offered. He said that the gulf is shark infested and that it is doubt ful that the body will ever be found.
