  A reader of this column writes to ask which is the choicest sample of broken English" on record. As the querist, in addition to her hardihood casional contributor, we dig up the following:
 The conductor of an orchestra, nam- ed Arditi, yelled at second violin, who was arguing with him: "If you | no like, you wentp An enraged Portuguese told tor mentor: eff I did know ze English for ze box, I would blow your nose, by dam I amp
 A Swiss waiter explained: Tongue is no more, schicken never vos! How you like your ekks boilt, tight or loose ?"
 Fred Breen says that Ed Babbitt says: "No real shivvariee is real without Lizzie-flivver to detone and tincantinnate the hull circumambient circumstance. The Lydia-pinkham compound in tubercular Liz-fliv can contact and disintegrate a soprano burro's vocal manifestations at a thousand yards---regardless of whose yards. It has piccolo punch which perfectly penetrates." The man who applied for naturaliza- l tion here the other day and in reply to questions told Judge Jones that Mir. Harding was president and Mrs. Harding vice-president wasn't so far off the main idea. Ali Dickinson recalls the famous response of Fred Mcclure of Doney Park who was asked by a tourist while Fred was hauling water for his family and stock the dozen or so miles from Flagstaff to his ranch why he didn't dig we'll:
 "Hen! Whats the use? It's just as far enc way as the other!"
 "Yes, he charged me for breaking the appointment at his office," Flag staff man said the other day about Doc Tex Mackey, the dentist, "but it was worth every cent it cost" Jim Lucero told a friend the other day who was roasting Jim for not putting up bonds to get him out of jail that he would gladly have done so "only I didn't have no place to lock you up myself"
 Attorney George Lewis. recently ar rived from "'way down scuth," tells of darkey woman servant who when she was about to be married entrust- ed her mistress with all of her saw ings. The latter asked hci why she didn't keep the money herself, and the darkey retorted:
 "Does yuh spose I'd keep all dis 1 money in de house w'd dat strange nigger."

Kingman has new fire engine just like Flagstaff's. A few days ago when baker shop and its adjoining storeroom and small shack caught fire they had chance to use it.
 The engine did not arrive until af- ter lot of spectators did. Then it breezed around, siren blowing, and was stopped a few feet from the blaze, which by this time was a big one. The chemical hose was run out, though the fire was far bigger than any chemical hose could handle, and it did no good. Soon it dawned on the fire company that the fire engine was too close to the flames and might be damaged. Someone ordered the fire engine pulled away. Followed a long argument as to who in hell was the fire chief, anyway. Ultimately the chief got the best of the argu- ment and the engine was removed, the chemical hose left lying there. Then came plans for further battling with the busy flames. 1t was decided to turn water on them. A hunt was begun for the only fire hydrant in tIle tOWfl, loCdtcu uoWH pSIiiiu q gar age, four blocks away. The firemen began srringing out the hose, begin ming at the fire and working toward the hydrant. When they had the hose strung it developed they had only half enough. A Ford truck was sent to a warehouse for more hose. In the course of time everything was coupled up and ready, but by that time only a few uprights of the three burning buildings remained standing.
 Kingman has couple of dozen new hydrants ordered, and soon that part of their trouble will be eliminated. And their volunteer fire department is made up of good, live men who with a little more drill will be able to get on the job with dispatch and effic- iency.--Mohave.

OBITUARY.
DIR. FREDERICK A. DAVIS.

DR.. FREDERICK A. DAVIS.
DR.. Frederick A. Davis, formerly
of Ellsworth, died Friday night at his
home in Boston, after an illness of
four weeks, following shock. DR..
Davis was native of Surry, but his
boyhood and youth were spent in
Ellsworth, where his parents moved
when his father, the late James w.
Davis, became register of deeds. DR..
Davis was one who always retained a
love for his home town, and his in
terest in Ellsworth people, so that
while he had lived elsewhere since
receiving his medical degree, and his
visits here had been infrequent, he
kept in touch with Ellsworth, and
had many close friends here. He
was one of the active promoters of
the Ellsworth Reunion association in
Boston, and former president of
the organization. Those who saw
him during his visit here in June
last remarked upon his appearance
of health, and it seems hard to be-
ieve that he was so soon to be
tricken.
DR.. Frederick A. Davis, son
of the late James w. and
Margaret Harrington Davis, was
born in Surry, March "a, 1861.
He was educated in the public
schools in Ellsworth, and was gradu-
ated from theHahneman medical col
lege of Philadelphia in 1884. He
began the practice Of his profession
in Belfast, continuing there until
1889, when he moved to Boston.
Since then he had specialized in dis
eases of the stomach, and had charge
of clinics at the Boston Homeo-
pathic Medical Dispensary for ten
years, and lectured four years at the
Boston University School OF Med1-
cine.
He was a member of the Massa-
chusetts Homeopathic society, Bos-
ton Homeopathic Medical society,
American Institute of Homeopathy
and Massachusetts Surgical and
genealogical society, of which he
was president one year. DR.. Davis
also belonged to the Boston Athletic
association, Boston Yacht club and
Boston City club He held member
ship in Mariner lodge, F. and A. M,
of Searsport, Me-, the council chap
knights Templar, of Belfast. He
was also a member of the Odd Eel
lows lodge at Searsport.
DR.. Davis married, March "a,
1885, Susie Blaisdell Goodell, daugh-
ter of the late Capt Daniel and Mary
Grant Goodell, who survives him,
with one son, Arnold Boardman
Davis.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1922.


President Harding's plan for the
settlement of the railroad strike
threatens to be wrecked on the ques-
ton of reinstating the striking shop
men with full seniority rights. The
railroad executives accepted two of
the three conditions of President
Harding's proposal, but emphatically
rejected the proposal to reinstate the
strikers with unimpaired seniority
status. The strikers have virtually
agreed to accept the Presidents pro-
posal. The general public has not
seriously felt the effects of the rail
road strike as yet. The real pinch
will come this fall, with a shortage of
cars to move much-needed coal. 1t
is a pretty safe bet that the unoffend-
ing public. as usual, will pay the
piper" in the end.

THE ORACLE SPEAKS.
Extracts from Old Ellsworth High
School Paper.

The American has received from
Dr. Edwin A. Clark of Akron, Col,
four pages of the Ellsworth High
School Oracle, printed in 1854. 1t
was apparently an eight-page paper,
but pages l, 2, Z and are missing.
The editorial board consisted of
Helen F. Hopkins, Mary Ann Greedy
Carrie B. Allen, Harry w. Royal and
Justin Hastings Carrie G. McFar-
land and Agnes e. Hall were bust
ness managers.
Even back in those days, the high
school paper was boosting" a new
high school building, but then the
high school was held in what is now
the board of trade room in Hancock
hall and when the school was moved
to the old court house on the hill it
must have seemed palatial. But the
Oracle editors were not mealv
mouthed in their demands for better
school facilities, for they close their
editorial urging it as follows
'If the men of this city thought half
as much about the health and comfort
of the school children as they do about
eTectioneering and wasting money for
buying votes. we would soon have a
new schoolhouse.
The Oracle contains story, mel
lies Moonlight Ride" by Miss M. A..
Greedy, and an obituary of Edward T..
Mcdonald of the class Of 1881.
