held it at arms length and took two
or three dancing steps. She had
danced once, before circumstances put
a needle in her hand and the garb
of mourning on her back.
The ticket upon the table fascinated
her. She put away the dress and
fingered the ticket. Why should she
not go to the dance? She could sit
in the gallery and look on.
Tired as she was she felt a certain
zest growing within her. She decided
to sew no more that day since there
was nothing pressing. She would
rest, battle, crimp her hair, look for

Her bedroom adjoined her work.

down. In two minutes she was
dreamlessly asleep.
AL the heaviness of the past
months of toll and privation seemed
TO have fallen from her. She felt
light as air.
She bathed and waved her hair by
the simple method of winding a string
round her head and loosening the hair
between. In 20 minutes her hair was
dry and a current of ripples. She had

blue look of wonder in them. The

Lois was altogether pretty when
she was dressed. She went to show
herself to Mrs. Ruggins. who lived
IN the other part of the house. Mrs
Ruggins flung up her hands.

get that dress"
Lois told her, told her all about
it.

You look that young you'll need a
chaperon. I'll go with you myself"
Lois was glad enough to have Mrs.
RugginS' company and they went to
the dance together.
AS they sat in the gallery looking
down at the gay. exciting scene. Mrs.
Ruggins gave an exclamation

ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR FENCES

In old age, as their hold on life
becomes feeble, men turn to an
other world and future life. Sir
oliver Lodge, scientist and an
old man, is criticized by fellow
members of the Royal Society
because of his belief in spiritu-
alism. In a dignified reply Sir
Oliver offers to resign from the
society, if his presence there is
not wanted.
Instead Of criticizing him his
fellow scientists should respect his
belief that supplies consolation.
Perhaps, when all the scientists
Of the Royal Society die, and meet
Sir Oliver Lodge, somewhere else,
they will know that mis- ideas were
as near the truth as their own.
The Princess Murat is selling
: fine dresses for a living. Her
] friends weep for her but need not
weep. Her fate would be described
by MIR. Abraham Lincoln Erlanger
as "ffty-fifty." Having spent the
first part of her life buying and
wearing expensive dresses, she
/. will spend the second part selling
them to ladies that still have their
money. The Princess will find
more real interest in craftsmanship
than In merely wearing fine
feathers.

A charming lady-an American
comes from Europe carrying q
sweet little four-pound black and
tan dog-a refined, elegant little
dog. 1t wore a silk hood on its
head, little flannel Jacket but
toned tightly around its stomach
and chest, cloak of warm wool, a
nice little handkerchief, used by
the maid to wipe its nose and
eyes. 1t had gloves, or shoes, of
the finest kid for it's four little
feet. Once in while it must run
around on the ground and might
hurt its toes. The kid prevents
that.
This well-cared-for dog costs.
the lady says, about $4,000 a year
for upkeep.
Fathers bringing up a family on
$4,000 a year or less are invited
by earnest radicals to think and
roar about this. There is no need
of roaring.
Some that are too rich must
be foolish with their MONEY,
as many that are too poor are ex
tremely foolish with their TIME.
The owner of the little dog
would probably waste the money
on herself, if she didn't spend it
on the dog. What difference does
1T make, whether the money IS
wasted on the black and tan, or
the lady?
1t is possible to be too con-
vlncing. Macario Timon, head of a
Satanic Mystic Order of Lucifer,"
said he possessed "the magic
stone" with which he worked won

course, and no magic stone. But
his foolish followers didn't know
that. They tortured the aged i'm
poster to death to make him tell
where the magic stone was.
Moral: Don't fool your fellow

vance to buy the stolen jewelry.
Why not discourage such enter
prise by indicting the "fences" for
murder? They are as guilty as
the bandits that kill, being sac
cessories before the act"
If each bandit murderer had his
fence as his partner in the cleo
trio chair performance, that would

declared that Jackson should not have
been suspended.
She said that he had apologized to
her for his actions, and that she re.
ported the affair to school authorities
because two other girls who attended
the party were talking about it. She
said she made the report to protect
herself, as she had done nothing
wrong.
The other girls, twin sisters, who
live at st. Louis and who have with
drawn from the university, declared
last night that there was no liquor
served at the party and that every one
behaved lovely
One, however, asserted that Jackson
struck her on the nose when she asked
him what he had done to the Wiscon-
sin girl, who suddenly left the party.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

The question of what constitutes
competency to vote will have to be
threshed out anew in the case of the
Indian as there seem to be no pre-
cedents to guide the Arizona officials.
Insane persons and convicts con-
stitute about the only classes that
have been held incompetent to vote.
Indians cannot be classed with either
of these incompetents. They are ma
tive born, in many instances highly
educated and are wards of the gov
enment, not through choice but by
law.
It will be interesting to note the
judicial decisions that may be hand
ed down when some intelligent In
dian seeks to force the issue in Ari-
zona. While the federal court has
jurisdiction over Indians it is a ques-
tion whether that court could exer-
else jurisdiction over election officials
in Arizona.
On the other hand, if the Indian
sought relief in the state courts, he
might be denied redress on the
groundethat he was a ward of the
government.

(Mohave County Miner)

The attempt of Gov. Hunt to pla-
cate labor by the appointment of Nc
Cluskey to fill the vacancy in the
compensation board, vice Cleve W.
Van Dyke, resigned, has proven fu-
tile, McCluskey stepping down and
out as soon as the board held its first
session and elected Bob Sims chair
man. Of course, Gov. Hunt indicated
that the Craftsmanship did not go
with McCluskey's appointment and
that it was up to the board to Sc
lect its own presiding officer. This
was a rather direct way of telling Nc
Cluskey that he was not to have this
coveted office, and the governor
right-hand man went out. But the
aftermath of this resignation be not
ed, McCluskey going to Van Dyke as
his chief executive in the putting over
of a subdivision to Tucson. But
there will be no more directions from
Van Dyke to McCluskey to Hunt, nor
from some other source to Van Dyke

WARDS OF THE GOVERNMENT
(El Paso Herald)

Arizonans are somewhat puzzled
about the granting of suffrage to In
dians by the federal government.
Registration is being denied Pima In
dians in Pinal county on the theory
that as they are wards of the govern
ment they are not under the jurisdic-
ton of the Arizona courts, and that
their lands are exempt from taxation.
Officials of Pinal county have rails
ed a legal question which does not
seem to be covered clearly by the
constitution.
1t would appear that state was
we'll within its rights to refuse suf-
frage, at least for state and county
offices, to a ward of the government
who lives tax free, and is amenable
to the laws of the state only when
off the reservation.
On the other hand the federal gov
ernment has ruled that the Indians,
being free-born American citizens,
are entitled to vote.
