A Word 10 Workers

If your avocations are mentally or physically laborious, if they subject you to exposure in indictment weather, if they confine you to the desk, and are of d nature to involve wear and tear of brain, and nervous strain. you may oc- casionally require some renovating tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the arti- cle for you, it stimulates the failing en- ergies, invigorates the body and cheers the mind. It enables the system to throw off the facilitating effects of un- due fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the organs of digestion, arouses the liver when inactive, which it very often is with people whose pursuits are seden- tary, renews the jaded appetite. and en- courages healthful repose. It's ingre- dients are safe, and it's credentials :, which consist in the hearty endorsement of persons of every class of society, are most convincing. Admirably is it adapt ed to the medical wants of workers.

Roundup Notice.

The Annual Roundup of the Apache County Stock Association will begin May 2Oth, at the Meadows, on the Little Coloraeo River.
 Owing to the large amount of country to be covered and the increasing num- Der of cattle to be handled, the Execu- tive Committee decided to divide the country into two general districts and work two parties.
 After driving the country adjacent to the Meadows the outfit will split.
 One party, with Nat Greer Captain, will work down the Little Colorado via Woodruff and Holbrook, driving Dry Lake and Porter Tanks, going down Col orado to Clear Creek and Chevellon's s Fork.
 Working south between the creeks to the old Verde road, and turning east through the mountains via Milford, meeting other party on the Show Low.
 Mir. Greer will send an outfit over onto the Puerco to work those ranges, which will meet him again at Woodruff.
 Party No. ?, Mir. Ernest Tee, Captain, from the Meadows will work over the ranges of the Wabash Cattle Company to Gardiner & Gillies', thence up the Little Colorado river to the Vail ranch.
 From Wall ranch-Mr. Wm. Phelps, Captain-this party will work through Nutrioso to Mangus, and from there to Cow Springs and Coyote.
 From Coyote via Laguna Salada to Show Low, thence down Show Low and Silver Creek-Juan Sepulveda, Captain.
 May 20th means to begin, not to get there on that date.

A Pen Picture orthe Great Rural pastime

On Wednesday, by invitation, we at tended a big corn-shucking at J. B. Affords.
 When we arrived at MT. Affords we found about fifty or sixty of the neigh bors and their hands surrounding immense piles of corn, and the shucks and ears were flying in every direction. We took a turn at the pile, and our hands and wrists ire sore yet from the unusual exercise.
 Gathered around the pile were farm CTS. negroes, a justice of tho peace, q lawyer. a merchant, an editor and a physician. Mir Afford made about l5.000 bushels of corn, besides a full crop of cotton, etc. Very few farmers are as successful as he. His farm is self-sus- taining. and he always has corn to sell.
 Mrs. Afford and her accomplished daughters had grand feast provided for the shuckers at noon, and while the tables didn't groan under the weight of edibles, as the stereotype writers would say, it was fact that they were crowded with everything in the way of good vic tuals to be had, cooked in the best style, and our generous host and hostess did everything in their power to make every body eat hearty and enjoy themselves, in which laudable undertaking they
  succeeded.
 There was old ham, the sort that makes red gravy, and fresh pork and turnips and cabbage and potatoes and chickens and chick pie and oysters and sardines and cheese and pies and pound cake and pickles and preserves, world without end.
 When We left at 3 P. NJ. constant access slons were being made to the shucking brigade, commanded by Major Shelton, and the work went bravely on. It was thought that the corn would all be shucked by l2 at night.
 Mr. Affords family is remarkable. He has eight children, we believe, and not a single member of the family have ever used tobacco in any form, and they are all healthy and fine-looking, from the father and mother down to the youngest child.-l Hartwell lG",) Sun.

Uncle e-samS Publishing Business.

 In the book of estimates for the next fiscal year recently sent to Congress, Sl, ,3S0, 231. .G6 is asked for for wages alone.
 There are on the pay roll 400 compos- itors, besides a large force of superln- tendents, foremen, etc.
 Fifty proof readers are steadily em- ployed, and 45 pressmen, l15 press feed CTS, and 34 ruling machine feeders.
 The estimates call for 100, 900 reams o1 printing paper. or 48,000, 900 sheets, each sheet making eight or sixteen pages.

Discharged for a Good Reason.

The Paris police arrested a female began named Louisa Martin. She stood on the steps of the Notre Dame church, wearing large placard bearing the in- scription:
 "I HAVE NO HOME AND NOTHING TO EAT,
 AND AM 100 YEARS OLD.
 In reality she was only sixty-fve years old. The judge said:
 You have been guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses by making out that you are thirty-five years older than you really are, but as this is the first instance in the history of the world of a woman claiming to be older than she really is, I'll let you go."

Allied Ruiz, our popular and accom- modating District Clerk, met with a se- rious misfortune in the loss of two horses, which had been placed in the corral Tn the rear of the Monarch Saloon, over night. A post mortem examination re- vealed undoubted traces of poison. A wretch who would seek the qualification of personal spite, by inficting agony, pain and death upon an inofensive dumb animal, has so few of the better traits of human being, that if detected he does not deserve the treatment of one. MT. Darling is very indignant and much exercised about the matter, and will gladly assist in meting out open handed justice to the cowardly culprit, if the crime can ever be located.

y There is sharpers game which has
been played for the last 100 years,
and as the turning point in avarice
the game works forty-nine I times
where It falls once. Two sharpers set
out few days ago to play it on a
Wayne County farmer. One of them
came along one day and wanted to
buy the farm. As the farmer wanted
to sell it was quite easy to strike a
bargain. The prics was to be $4,000
In cash, and the man handed $3.50 to
bind the bargain. Within two days a
second stranger came along and want
ed the farm. He wanted it so bad
he couldn stand STILL He found in.
dications OF coal, natural gas and coal
oil, and he was willing to give $65OO
for the place. The idea was of course
that the farmer would be awful sick
OF his first sale and seek to buy the
man on. 1t would pay him to offer
the man $500 to release him.
The second stranger was only out
OF sight when the first one turned up
again. His mouth watered over the
prospect butlnot for long. The farmer
explained that'he had been offered
$1,000 more, and added:
s.But l don't care for money. The
$4,000 Is enough for me, and its all the
OLD farm is worth. When you are
ready to pay the balance we'll make
out the papers,
The purchaser offered to release him
for 81, l,0OO-$7O0-$5OO- but the
farmer didn't want to be released. He
nang tothe bargain money and he's
got 1t yet, while the pair of sharpers
rave and gnash their teeth every time
tney think OF the thickness of his
skull. q 1i8N j,,I
