the case have come to Tombstone
during the past few months to gath
er evidence from oldtimers. Mrs.
Cockburn was born in Tombstone
while Jack Crabtree was living in a
mining camp. Old timers havelsworn
under oath for Mrs. Cockburn's coun-
sci that she is the daughter Of the
actress brother and of his common
law wife.
The high point in the arguments
is to be presented before Judge Prest
I is expected to be the actions and life
of the brother. Dispositions taken
here from pioneers and silver miners
of two score years ago allege that
Jack Crabtree was somewhat of an
errant member of the family, with a
decided leaning toward horse racing.
No marriage license is Of record here
between Jack Crabtree and the wom-
an who mothered Mrs. Cockburn, but
the evidence collected by Mrs. Cock
burns counsel is intended to show
that her mother was Jacks common
law wife. Crabtree, the dispositions
say, deserted his wife and daughter
and roamed about the country, only
to return to the west again He died
in this part of the country.
Mrs. Cockburn at present is living
near Los Angeles.

Anyone familiar with telegraphy
will realize that the letters 't" and
81 are somewhat difficult to distin-
guish between over the wire. An
amusing illustration Of this fact is
clearly shown by the following Incl

An operator at one station sent this
message over the wire to another sta
ton;
Foundation under platform in bad
condition. Wire instruction"
The receiving operator, mistaking
the "t" for an "l'' Tin the first word)

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The Boston wool trade reports a
fairly active demand, centered princi-
pally in territory and fine combing

occasional indications of slightly high

indicates that good woods cannot be
obtained any cheaper than at present,
and mills have been covering current
requirements in fairly large volume.

Blessings on thee, little car,
Gears all stripped and seats that jar.
Knocks are many, springs are few,
Chassis broken, far from new.
With thy two speed, slow and stop,
Cutout open-darn the cop.
Lively pickup as it whirls,
Picks up tacks and chorus girls.
Paint all gone-now girls, don't scott,
You'd look worse with your paint off!
Which reminded me that Walter

the new ones he had collected:
Many-from one original.

A Fierce Arrow, with a culver.
Little Bo-Creep.
An accident going out to happen.
No one injured in this wreck.
Friends, Romans, countrymen -

You are cordially invited to our
next blowout.
The only time we pass a car is
when it's going the other way.
Another gnash.
Churning just for you.

have a change New Years, wheth-
er happy or not; as she not only
impaired a piece of her mind, but
also set certain measures in mo
ton. She provided enough con-
v~ersation to make the mealtime
lively, turned all the pantry pa
pers upside down, cleaned the H.
brary herself, invented enough err
rands to occupy her spare time,
hustled meditations into attention,
began to look after household and
business matters with interference
and advice, until the miserable
man was fairly goaded into prac-
ticality. When they wished him
a happy New Year he had expected
to have it, but he failed to get it.
1t could not be denied, however,
that at its end he felt that 1t had
been the most useful and pros
porous year OF his experience. The
neighbors had been observing and
accounted for things by saying that
a shiftless dreamer and useless
theorist had been cured by a SEN
sible wife. After q year or two
more Ephraim thought so himself.

ed to their feet abruptly. Daniel
had picked up the phone. Soon he
was listening to a woman's excited
voice saying: Claude Is quite ill,
in fact the doctor thinks there is
real danger tonight, and he is beg
ging for you to come. Won't you
please relent just that much, Mr..
Trent?' Then Daniel heard Elsie's
voice die away in a sob, as he abb
ruptly hung up the receiver.
Then for a few minutes the great
house was startled. Never before
had 1t heard Martha's voice as it
was now raised. With d strength
born of m%other-love she argued and
pleaded for her boy, with a voice
trembling with emotion she told
Daniel of his real duty and of the
misery he was causing to them all.
In less than an hour they were
on their way to Greenfield. And
when they reached Claude's bed
side Daniels heart was as tender.
and as full of forgiveness as Mar
tha's.
AS all the world knows, love is
a wonderful tonic, a potent, health
giving agency that has no rival, and
before many days had passed
Claude had responded to its power.
But still Daniel and Martha lin
gered in the little cottage. They
were 10th to leave the place where
so much happiness had come to
them all, and when they did finally
go Claude and Elsie accompanied
them.
And now the big house in Tren-
ton is no longer filled with silence
and gloom. Love and happiness fill
1t with their song and cheer.
