DAVID made no effort to hide
~ his surprise. But st. Pierre's
wife seemed not to notice it. The
puckery little lines were still in her
forehead. and the laughter had
faded out OF her eyes The tiny
lines, deepened as there came an
other wild roar of laughter from
Batesse in the stern.
"Is it true that you have given
your word to fight Batesse?" she
asked.
at is true. Marie-Anna. And l
feel that Batesse is looking ahead
ioyously to the occasion"
He is she affirmed. Last
night he spread the news among
all my people. Those who left to
Join St. Pierre this morning have
taken the news with them. and
there is a great deal of excite
ment and much betting. am
afraid you have made a bad
promise. No man has, offered to
fight Batesse in three years-r1ot
even my great st. Pierre, who
saws that Concombre is more than
q match for him."

r1ttle doubt, as there is betting,

The look of pity which was
clearly in her eyes brought a rush
of blood to David's face. IF only
I had something to wager! he
groaned.
"You must not fight. shall
forbid it!!''
Then Bateeee and I will steal
off into the forest and have it out
by ourselves.
He will hurt you badly. He is

he fights. He loves to fight and

not help himself. That's why the
punishment did no good.
Are you careful about your
children's rights? Do you realize
that their belongings are of as
much Importance to them as your
more valuable ones are to you?
What do you consider more es-
sential, the orderliness of your
home or the contentment of your
little boy?
A little boy has funny fads and
fancies. But the wise mother
who wants his confidence and his
companionship will find some way
to humor his childish fancies, as
long as they are within reason.
Your boys welfare is Of para
mount Importance. Nothing else
matters as much as the happi-
ness and the peace of mind OF
that little boy of yours. At least
give him a square deal.

TO THE

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ l went with a young man
about six months. He said he
loved me and asked me to marry
him.
A couple OF weeks later / went

him every day. He got peeved
because / told him to write often.
When he meets me on the
street now he merely greetS
me with "Hello!'
Does he love me? Will you
please give me some advice as
to whether / should stay at home
and not keep company with any
other young men? Or shall
really enjoy myself? / think the
world of him.
OKEN-HEARTED BABE.

mother found that some small
feet had trampled all over her
freshly planted flower bed. Then
later on a neighbor called David's
mother over the telephone and
said that he had thrown a rock
through the window in her ga
rage.
Yes, David did it. In his rage
at finding his own possessions de-
stroyed, he had rushed out of the
house. to find some outlet for his
feelings. And the flower bed and
the garage window took the con-
sequences.
OF course, David was punished.
But in his young heart he felt
that he had been wronged. only

And then David said something
under his breath that nobody
heard but his young friend.
"She won't let me have a

not let me have that. Aunt May

PRESCOTT TO
HAVE FEDERAL
BUILDING SOON

Prescott is to have new federal
building; one sufficiently large to
house the postoffice department., the
forest service, federal court, deputy
collector of internal revenue and other
federal officers. Steps taken by the
department of the attorney general at
Washington a short time ago to as
certain the space needs of the federal
court in building planned for Pres
colt were followed Friday by inquiries
directed TO Postmaster Warren Day
and Frank l.. Grubb, of the u. S. for
est service, concerning their views re-
garding the proposed new building
Postmaster Day has been asked to
report on the rent requirements OF
federal departments having offices in
or near Prescott, which will be housed
nthe new Building. The inquiry asks
about the space that will be required
by these departments by 1886, in order
to allow for 10 year growth of the
departments. The new building will
house, the postoffice, federal court fed
eral judge, assistant U. S. district at

jury rooms, vaults and store rooms, u.

tural agent.
The federal court division at Pres
colt serves the people of the northern
counties of the state, and in addition
handles business in the hot season
that ordinarily would be transferred
at Phoenix, Globe and often in Tue
son. Mohave, Coconino, Navajo, Apache
and Yavapai counties supply jurors,
litigation and criminal cases for the
Prescott division.
The Prescott national forest covers
an area of 1,365,169 acres, having an
estimated human population of be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 and hundreds
of thousands of head of cattle, sheer.
goats and other range animals. AL.
these create business to be transacted
and records to be kept in the local
headquarters. The utmost in fire
safety, accessibility ana convenience
for the workers and the records is
none too good for this service.
In additional to all federal agencies
so far discussed, there is that of thu,

zoo SEEK OIL
DRILLING RIGHT
ON MEXICO SOIL

Willingness of oil operators in Mex
leo to abide by the new oil and mining
laws is evidenced by the fact that more
than 200 applications for permits to
drill for oil are now on file in the Of
flee of the Mexican department of COM
merce, according to the statement of
Juan Marshall, Mexican consul at
Douglas.
An amendment to article II of the
Mexican constitution has been the sub
ject of protest from many oil operators
during the past months and some con-
cern has been felt by Mexican govern
ment officials who feared that the new
regulations might retard the develop
ment of the country's resources.
The number of applications for per-
mits to drill filed during the past few
weeks is considered by government Of
ficials to indicate acceptance by the
oil operators of the governments poll
cies.
