MAd=e and Harriet Arrived
 At the Farm

This is rather risky, going in on Mother three hours ahead of time, Harriet said smiling. as we were being carried swiftly through the winding country roads I loved to the farm house which was the dearest to me of any in my life,
 T am shaking in my shoes, I agreed, laughing. She no doubt has planned something unusual in the way of a dinner for our welcome, and is lunching on piek-ups. l sup we ought to have waited until the other train. but the chance of three extra hours with Junior was too great s tempts tion.
 She looked st me oddly. 'ls-it-- like that" sine asked in tense, constrained voice
 I knew what she meant without explanation. Motherhood with its overwhelming love, its fierce a1x- iety, its predominanee over every -lther interest in life. was sealed book to her one which she never would open now.
 "Yes, it is very much like that" I returned. "My little mother used to say that parents never drew a free breath from their first hahy's cry until their own eoffining. and I long since have learned the wisdom of the l,omely epigram."
 T suppose that's true" Harriet replied slowly. "The constant sus- pense over possible accidents or ill., ness must be terrible. I'm just as glad--'
 Mistaken Sacrifice
 Her voice trailed away unstead- fly. and knew that her love of truth had halted her utterance. I'll Harriet Braithwaite ceased to breathe, she would regret bitterly her mistaken sacrifice Of motherhood to her husbands career.
 There's the farmhouse now" I said hastily, glad Of the chance to change the subject.
 A light of anticipation leaped into her eyes, and l saw her hands trem- bling ever so slightly.
 Its a long time snice saw Mother" she said, and l revised one judgment of my sister-in-law in that instant. I had thought her fond of her mother in a dutiful, nnemo- tionsl fashion. and that she had no difficulty in subordinatinE her filial affection to her love for he, hus- band But now 1 realized that though the consuming emotion Of her life was her conjugal loyalty, for which she ruthlessly put every other obliga,- ton aside. yet she had suffered from both her conscience and her affections then she had neglected her mother for her husbands sake,

petent leadership by adults.
DIR. NJ. G. Fronske, chairman of the
boys work committee, told about the
work being done this week by all the
Flagstaff schools in observing Educa-
ito week. He urged every Rotarian
to visit at least one school, as nothing
so encourages the child in his work as
to see that business men are taking
an interest in it. If you visit the
schools it will inspire you and give
you greater faith in the future and
permanency of your country, he de-
clared.
Superintendent John @. Thomas of
the city schools, in the absence from
the city of President L. B. McMullen
of the normal school, told how that
school is observing the week, like the
high school and Emerson and Bran
men schools, giving several periods
during the week expressly to the pro-

GeorgesT. Harrington of the city
school board spoke of Flagstaff as an
educational center and the effort be-
ing made to make our schools as good
as any in the state if not better. He
hoped there would be a housewarm-
ing at the new city high school in a
few weeks. He said that there is a
room in the basement Of the high
school building, he believes, for the
Boy Scout meetings if the room is
found to be large enough and in other
ways acceptable.
Chairman Moran then handed the
gavel back to President Breen,
who complimented him on his pro-
gram.

ians to come out to the football game
Friday afternoon of this week between
the Flagstaff high school and the
normal school, characterizing the lat
ter as the ideal school, and saying
that the main idea in the game is to
promote good feeling and friendship
between the two institutions.
Rev. FIR. G. Vabre, on behalf Of st.
Anthony's school, said visitors are al
ways cordially welcome at any of the
five class rooms. He asked that who
ever does visit the school please un-
|derstand the rules in vogue there. In
visiting schools in Japan several years
ago in company with T. A. Riordan OF
Flagstaff and others, it was noted
that the teachers and pupils kept right
on at their work. Then, at a given
signal, the pupils rose and extended
greetings to the visitors, at once re-
suming their work. He had put the
same methods into effect at st. An

IN THE DAYS OF BILL M'NAI.
ARIZONA'S POET-PHILOSOPHE

The Winslow Sunday News, dated
Sunday, April 81, 1889, containing a
very interesting account of an attempt
on the part of Commodore Owens, a
famous early day official with a long
list Of desperate encounters with gun
men, to arrest Billy McNail for train
robbery which took place at Canyon
Diablo, was handed in by Ed Whipple.
Mr.. Whipple of Flagstaff, then a res
ident Of the flourishing pioneer town
of Winslow. Commodore Owens, fa-
nous 10 the southwest as the quickest
and coolest man with gun an these
parts, is now resting in peace in the
Flagstaff cemetery.
The Sunday News account Of the
brush between Billy and the officers
printed the week after the affair, viii

member Billy, and his facetious poetry
dropped around for officers on his
trail to read.

dations can be traced far and wide

him by firing a few shots from my
Winchester as a salute. Some people
do not admire this style of greeting
but they cannot see a joke. But |
hope you (my cunning fIiends), will
appreciate it at its full value. Some
people say the train has been robbed.
THAT is terrible.) Who robbed it? /
do hope and trust that you gentlemen
will do all in your power to capture
the guilty parties. Run them to their

Such depredations should be stopped
at once. With best wishes, / remain,

r. w. McNAIL,
i. S. You gentlemen owe me a
box of Al cal. cartridges.
After the officers had searched the
surrounding country and finding no
trace, the officers prepared lunch at
the expense of McNail and after being
convinced that he had made his es-
cape they all returned to Winslow.
Speaking of the train robbers cap
tured by Sheriff Bucky O'Neil, after
wards famous as captain in Roose-
velt's Rough Riders regiment, the
News says:
The robbers who exhibited them
selves at the Canyon Diablo hold-up
passed through Winslow last Tues
day morning in charge of Sheriffs
O'Neill and ST. Clair. They were the
cynosure Of a large number Of cit
liens who congregated at the depot
to see them. The sheriffs only had
three of them, one having escaped
while the train was in motion near
Ration, N. M. He jumped out Of the
window and was missed Immediately.
The train was brought to standstill
within a few minutes after his es
cape. Sheriffs Holton and Black
went in search and strange to say, he
could not be found and is still at
large, notwithstanding he was shack
led, shoeless, hatless and coatless.
The editor Of this paper was on hand
when they passed through here, and
recognized all three. These men were
very frequently in our town, in fact
were here a few days before the rob-
berry. All along the line on their way
to Prescott Jail, crowds were gather
ed on the railway platform eager to
see the bold men. They are now safe
ly lodged in the Prescott jail where
their trial will take place next month.
If the new law passed by the Arizona
legislature at its last session takes
effect, it is a sure case that all will
meet their fate dangling at the end
of a hemp rope.

sions in order to broaden the view
point of each member; to eliminate
the spirit of cooperation, substitut-
ing that Of cooperation; to learn
about other lines of endeavor because
in that way the education is broader;
to insure that the club will not be
dominated by special interests or
cliques; so that the conclusions of the
Rotary club on any important civic
affair may be a fair expression Of
the whole community on that subject.
DIR. Mackey recited the third para
graph of the code of ethics:
To realize that / am business !
man and ambitious to succeed,
but that | am first an ethical
man, and wish no success that is
not founded on the highest JUS
tice and morality.
Mr.. Koch recited paragraph 10:
To be not more obligated to a
brother Rotarians than / am to
every other man in human So
ciety; because the genius of R0-
tary is not in its competition, but
in its cooperation, for provincial
ism can never have a place in an
institution like Rotary, and Ro-
tarians assert that human rights
are not confined to Rotary clubs,
but are as deep and as broad as
the race itself, and for these high
purposes does Rotary exist to ed
ucate all men and all institutions.
Mr.. Koch referred to talk given
at the Phoenix club last week by Dis
trict Governor Allie Martin; then said
that one of the best examples Of the
real Rotary spirit he ever saw hap
pened here in Flagstaff just the other
day when, after the fire that destroy
ed Alex Johnston's tailoring and
cleaning shop, a competitor, Rotarian
Loren Cress, took Mr.. Johnston's work
to his own place of business and is
taking care of it for him until he can
secure location and resume business.
DR.. Mackey was called on for an
impromptu talk on Rotary and when
he got through with ten minutes of
wit and hard sense was given applause
that nearly raised the ceiling.
He asked If Rotarians were not fail
ing along the "big brother" lines. He
asked what they had to say to the
average little fellow they saw along
the street, whether they noticed him,
made something of him, cheered him
on with cordial words of sympathy,
good-fellowship and understanding.
He had three big brothers in his own
family, who never failed in their cor
dial attitude toward him, and it help
ed him lot. He especially stressed
the need for good-fellowship with the
boys we do not know; then said that
the "big brother" attitude toward the
boys must come from within, from the
heart. We should be for the boy,
whether he's a Boy Scout or not, he
said.
Mr.. Koch, replying, said Docs talk
was worth thousand dollars. In the
new program, he said, Rotary isn't as
sunling full responsibility for the Boy
Scout movement, but is sharing it
with the Woman's club, the American
Legion and the Elks. There soon will
be, he hopes, meeting OF the heads
of these organizations and the ap-
pointment of rotating committees from
each to visit the Scouts weekly, keep
in contact and show interest in them

George bade them pay a tax, should
not be landed. On December 16 of
the same year 1000 citizens waited
here by candlelight for the return of
a courier who had been dispatched to
Milton to ask Hutchinson for redress.
When he brought word that there
would be none, a war whOop was
raised outside the church and group
of patriots, disguised as Indians,
rushed down to Griffin's wharf where
the ships were lying and pitched the
tea overheard. Another dramatic
scene occurred in 1775 when Joseph
Warren entered the pulpit from a
window above to deliver his now IA
nous grafton on the Boston massa-
ere. The aisles and the very steps of
the pulpit were crowded with red
coated officers and men.
A church with such a history as
this would be more truly appreciated
If it were almost anywhere except
just where it is, for in this part of
Boston it has two rivals which have
been preserved to carry on the very
traditions for which it stands. Fa-
neuil hall, honored throughout the
United States and not unknown In
Europe is today the. fitting meeting
place of idealists and reformers. And
Kings chapel, also only a few blocks
away, is now just as when the be-
ribboned and belaced officers Of the
British army and their Tory hosts at
tended service there dignified and
beautiful place Of worship. Obvious
ly the Old South cannot compete with
the "Cradle of Liberty" as a meeting
place for young America, nor can it
serve in it's first capacity without
many changes and a continuous sacri-
fee on the part of the congregation
in going far downtown on Sunday
mornings. So it has come about that
today the Old South church is for the
average Bostonian only historic and
cherished exterior.

American Consumption Is Stead
lily Growing, Says Head of
Dairy Congress.

Washington.-OnIy the healthy and
growing condition of the American
dairy industry has enabled it to with
stand the drop in exports which came
with the world readjustment. This
also has been aided by a growing
taste of the American people for dairy
products, says DR.. II. e. Van Norman,
president of the Worlds Dairy Con-
gress association. which is preparing
for its international meeting here in
October.
'The United States has reached a
point where the production and con-
sumption Of dairy products are almost
equal" D. Van Norman said, "as
is indicated by the fact that it's ex-
ports and imports of dairy products

and that the Australian cheese on stor-
age amounted to 1000 crates, against

ago; but that Australia had $4,000
crates Of cheese afloat and bound for
England, about 11.OOO crates more than
she had on the water at this time last
year. If we had needed to unload
butter on the English market we would
not have had the same fortune, for the
cablegram states that England has in
storage 423,0O0 boxes Of Australian
butter, an increase Of $4,000 for the
