Egypt is probably traceable to the fact
that the fly is sacred in that country.
1t is said that a mother will not kill

A. The constitutions of Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, and North
Carolina, all adopted in 1875, contain

liberty of the press. With the adop-
ton of Article One, amending the
United States Constitution, in 1871,
the principle of free press and free
speech was for the first time written
into the organic law of an important
nation.

Ripping Rhymes

DOING 1T WELL

When I was busy shearing sheep
did the work so we'll that other shear
ers used to weep, and wiring their
hands and yell. And when 1 started
painting pumps, so we'll l played the
game my salary kept taking jumps
whenever payday came. Whatever
chore l had to do did it with a will,
and often, when the day was through,
I'd earned a dollar bill And now I'm
in my green old age. no wolf is at my
, door; of coin, which seems to be the
rage, l have a goodly store. My cred
it's good, and when l croak The Daily
News will say, "He surely left trail
of smoke along life's toilsome way"
The needless fellow does his tasks
in such lazy way! And every hour
he stops and asks the boss for higher
pay. He has no longing to excel, to
more than earn his mon, to do his
work each day as well as it was ever
done. And every day there is a
chance to take an upward step; but
trifling fellows won't advance; they
have no use for pep. When I was
washing Maltese cats, l did the work
up fine; l soaked them in the sudsy
watts, and hung them on the line.
Whatever work had to do, bumped
on buoyant feet, and now. the journey
nearly through, live in Velvet street.

IoW.RRoWEn sPooks

Camille Flammarioa, the celebrated
something's has issued an i'm
portant statement to the effect that
The spooks who communicate with
earth beings are of the low-brow or
common variety.
This is no slap at Conan and his
trained troupe. We doubt if Camille
and CoaSn have ever met.
The spirits of low mentality, says
Camille, linger in the lower strata.
while those of high mental horse
power go to higher strata, where
they do not have the time, inclination
or curiosity to monkey around with
people on earth.
The people we hear from are. &C
cording to this scientist, the ones who
were boobs here on earth. We have
often thought so, judging by the mes
sages we receive.
1t has never seemed that intelligent
ghosts would be content with scratch
ing on states in almost illegible writ
ing and poor grammar, pounding tam
bourines and ringing dinner bells.
Their favorite indoor sport, smashing
furniture, leads US to believe that, in
life, the majority of them must have
been moving van men.
Perhaps among our celestial cor
respondents there are also a few sub
way guards, taxicab drivers, baggage
smashers, theatre ticket spectators
and apartment house janitors.
After thinking of some of the writ
ten messages we have seen, we be-
lieye Camille is right, and this is the
only thing we think is right or sane
about the whole theory.

No. 212-To Drop a Glass Without
Breaking 1t

A tumbler. when dropped to the
floor, is usually shattered into many
pieces. Accordingly, when you calmly
allow tumbler to fall from your hand
a gasp of amazement viii arise when
the glass merely bounces across the
floor without breaking.
Be sure to drop the tumbler on a car
pet, and be careful to pick fairly stout
glass. Hold the tumbler, as shown in
the figure in an absolutely Vertical DO
sition. Drop 1t so that it strikes per
fectly upright, and it will not be in
jured in the least When a tumbler
falls from a table 1t will turn over in
its fail and will invariably be broken.

PROGRESS IF
 PRESCOTT |S
 DUE TO ELDERS
By A. C. GILMORE

When E. A. Rogers arrived in
 Prescott, after many hundreds of
 miles overland travel from Dead
 wood, S. D., he found a settlement
 which was about one-seventh its pres
 ent size. To him, and others like
 him, is largely due the progress
 which our little city has made since
 that time. The same steadfastness
 which he had shown when, as a young man, he traversed the almost pathless wilderness from the pan
 handle of Texas to the far north by bull team, thence to Prescott a few years later, has been manifest in his career as one of Prescott's most use ful citizens. Steadfastness: what bet ter trait can there be, when it is welded to honesty of purpose? Dur ing a quarter of century l worked elbow-to-elbow with my good friend who has passed on, and as the months and years rolled by 1 won dered at his tenacity of purpose, his perseverance at the allotted task, his determination to complete whatever he undertook-andh he undertook only that which would benefit his country, his town, his friends, his family. As an employe, working at his trade, he was steadfast-as much to be relied upon as the rising of the sun; later, as employer, he was more than mere employer, he was the steadfast friend of the men who worked for and with him. Just how much he accomplish ed by his 40 years of unceasing work in and for Prescott can never be known. Certain it is that he was sin cere as well as able in the Yielding of his pen for the betterment of his home town, and certain it is that he has very greatly aided in the upbuild- ing of not alone Prescott, but the wide west. His was the courage of the quiet kind-the power to do and to keep on doing. He was one of those who came up through adver- sity. The end of the civil war found him an orphan lad, stripped of for tune. Handicapped at the start, he has abundantly made good, by being fair to his enemies, square with his always.

ROBIN HOODS MISSED
 GETTING THEIR CANE

The topography of the Sycamore district and the Bradsllaws is conSid- .crably more. familiar to Dr. Saxton T. Pope of San Francisco and w. I. Compton of Visalia, Calif., his com panion, in their prolonged bow-and- arrow hunt for big game, than it was before they landed in Prescott some weeks ago. Otherwise, the hunters had no luck.
 As reported here recently by Bob Merrill and Robert H. Young, two other members Of the Robin Hood party, who returned from the hunt with 'Dr. Pope to go to Congress Junction and then California, no mountain lions were seen, although a couple of small bear were Killed. 4
 The testimony of Merrill and Young that they saw plenty of tracks, and covered lot of territory, but failed to get within bow-dnd- arrow distance of cat, was substan- .tidted by Dr. Pope. It was of course natural that the uniqueness of hunt 'erS going after big game with ar rows should attract many oniookers. Merrill and Young reported when they came in that the hunting parties were made up of too many people.

MISSING COAT
 BRINGS CHARGE

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Dol lie Heisler, of Roberts & Heisler. millinery dealers of 21O West Gurley, lost fur coat. Yesterday, Julia Aragon, Mexican, was seen wearing a garment which answered the de- scription of the one Mrs. Heisler complained had been stolen from her, and was placed under arrest, charged with larceny.
 Mrs. Heisler, according to the story told Undersheriff John Dial, was in her shop Saturday afternoon. She heard the screen door open and close, and went out to the front room, thinking customer had come in and, finding the place apparently empty, had left again. She looked out of the door and saw two Mexican women going up the street.
 Later in the afternoon a woman came in to look at the coat, and it was then that Mrs. Heisler missed it and notified the sheriffs office that she believed it had been stolen.
 When Miss Aragon was taken in- to custody, Mrs. Heisler was called and identified the coat the defendant wore as the ore she had missed. Miss Aragon protested that she had bought the coat Saturday night from a Mexican man, for SIS. When Undersheriff Dial examined her room yesterday he found three or four extra buttons, which Miss Ara gon told him she had removed from the pocket of the coat after buying it.
 A hearing in the case will be held later.

ONE MORE NEW
 BRIDGE ADDED

Another bridge has been added to the new structures going up in the county. Although it has not yet been accepted by the board of super visors Git probably will be at their next meeting), the Miller Valley bridge is now being used by the public.
 This handsome concrete bridge is 38 feet long, and replaces the un- slightly wooden structure which for merly caused automobilists going to and from Miller Valley to lose their tempers daily. At present the ap- breaches are being graded up with rock secured from the old Simmons quarry on the Frank Denny ranch. It was from this quarry that the na- tive granite of which the court house is built, was secured.
 Over 100 automobiles probably will go over the new bridge every day, Supervisors. L. S. ColweII and C. C. Stukey said yesterday. Supervisor Stukey counted 90 in an hour last Sunday. The structure is located at an important crossing, since traffic will go over it to reach Miller Val ley, Mint Valley, Williamson Valley, Simmons, Camp Wood and clear to Seligman.
