Butforgood ? axcusesMr. Woods wins the silver plated ear muffs. He said that he had to take Boy to the cir cus. Now the truth is that Roy is almost as tall as his father and we are sure is perfectly conversant with the ordinary procedure of attending a circus. But that was the best excuse he could think up on the spur of the moment, and so we'll let it pass. Miss Olive Clark and Miss Sue Thomas also had business in the Railroad City that day. Kathryn Rees al so journied westward on the early train destination unknown, but we could guess.

The doctor advises that some of the small bones in his foot are more than like ly broken. Mr. Miller is very lucky in not being more ser iously hurt, but doesn't think that crutches are a good substitute for feet.

All present were delighted with Picture Canon, which is indeed a beautiful spot. There is a running stream of clear water in the Canon. The high Canon walls are covered with ancient Indian heirogiyphics which add a great imaginative interest to this picturesque spot.

Mrs. Bond was" riding at the time of her death and was struck by a bolt of lightning, which killed her, but which merely stunned the horse upon which she was mounted. Mr. Bond is a poet of some note. One of his poems last year was copied by The Lit erary Digest, and we have had the privilege of offering several of his best ones to the readers of these columns. SPENDSUNDAYATLAKE SIDE ANDCOOLEY A crowd or HolbrQok peo ple spent Sunday in Lake side and Cooley, starting from Holbrook at five o'clock that morning. They had breakfast, which was cooked over the campfire, just the other side of Taylor, and then continued their drive to Lakeside. Between Taylor and Lakeside they experienc ed quite a bit of car trouble, and we'll leave it to Mr. Funk to judge whether or not he would like to own an aeroplane. , - , IT HELPSA LOT A letter received just this week from Mr. F. Vernon Barber of Littlefield, Texas, contained as" well as three silver cart wheels, a very encouraging paragraph.

' FIRE ATTAYLOR The Taylor Cash Store at Taylor had a rather serious blaze last week that threat- ened for a time to destroy the entire building. The gas tank in front of the building was being filled with gas oline from a barrel on a warm day. A casual stroller passing by struck a match to light a smoke, and the re-, suit was an explosion which wrecked the gas pump arid set fire to the building. The entire front of the building was destroyed. Fortunately no one was injured. ' Lloyd Henning was a visitor in Winslow on last Saturday.
