HE FOUND HAPPINESS ArLAsr.
An Elderly Traveller who Was Puzzled to
Find Something to Kick About.

An Elderly Traveller who Was Puzzled to
Find Something to Kick About.
He was large, elderly man, with an
expression of discomfort in his face, and
when the porter had deposited his travel
ing * in a section of the sleeping car
the elderly man looked around at the
vent lators, then critically at his neigh
Dor across the aisle and then he said to
the porter
"Where do we stop for supper?'
Dining car on the train, sIr," was
the answer.

The elderly man looked over his spec

then said

"H'm-does that Cleveland train pass

Yes, SIR"
"Wbat time 7"
Six forty-three."
How big a town is DunklTk ?"
About 10 900 inhabitants, sir"
The elderly man seemed to be annoyed
about something, and as the dialogue
continued he became more so. He eyed
the porter again and asked:
What time does the train reach
Erie ?"
Three minutes past s, sir"
How much bigger is Erie than Dun
kirk 2"
About four times. sir"
This concluded the interview. The
porter walked away and the elderly
gentleman sat down; but he didn't seem
to feel easy. He glared at the passenger
across the allie, then he took off his
overcoat, sat down and commenced
reading the evening paper but threw il
aside almost Immediately and, rising
again, walked glpoInily 10 the b ok end
of the car and looked out Of the window
Then he went back to his seat and sat
there sullenly until the porter came that

Chicago for a northwestern train that

The elderly man eyed the porter
fiercely for moment through his spec
tacles, then over them, and then he said
sarcastically:
"You don't kr ow ~
"No, sir. You see"

 The Los Angeles Times says: Arizona has almost as great q va riety of scenery and climate as California. It includes within its limits one of the largest pine for ests in he United States, immense coal fields and high mountain re- gions covered with oak, juniper and other trees, where, during the summer season the sportsman can shoot wild turkey, deer and other game, catch trout from running streams of llmpid water and sleep comfortably at night under pair of blankets. Arizona is one of the lea known political divisions of the United States. It would ay our merchants and board of trade to give more attention to a terri tory for which this city is the nat ural supply point"

White Swelling.

MT. NJ. S. Hanlin, one of the best known insurance men in North Caro- lima, writes from Winston, as fol- lows: ''Ever since I was seven years of age I have had what the doctors call hip disease, and which I call white swelling My hip was drawn out of place. There was swelling at the knee joint, where there is n profuse running, which has been there for ye'rs. Of course this has greatly depleted my system, together with surgical operation on the leg bone. I tried every known blood purifier to build up my system, but none did me good until took S. S. S. I use it every spring. It always builds me up, giving me appetite an.i digestion, and enables me to stand the long, trying, enervating, hot sum- mer days. To me there is no such medicine for purifying the blood and building up the wasted system as s. S.S On using it I soon became strong of body and easy of mind. My color changed from a Iale, worn look to a healthy, robust complex. on."
 MT. G. N. Frizzel. of Farmersville, Texas, writes: "About August l, 1865, an eruption appeared on my arms and legs, which pained me much and seemed to effect my phys ical condition generally.

The Tombstone Epitaph asserts that the cattle outlook in Arizona was never so bright as it IS to-day. There is plenty of fat beef on the ranges, asd no loss whatever from cold weather is reported. While of course it is the proper thing to condole with cattle men in the northern territories on account of their great losses the present and the past winter, yet it is impossi- ble not to feel a sense of gratitude that we are so much more fortu- nately situated. Instead of being known as the land of the cactus and Apache, Arizona is fast gain ing a worldwide reputation as the best all-the-year round grazing country under the sun. Montana, with its rich bunch grass, may ex- eel us for summer fattening, but the winter losses more than make up the difference. The black and white gramma, which grows luxuriantly throu. h lut Arizona, is good enough, as the ndition of the cattle will show, while the increase is ten per cent greater here than in any northern territory. Then again prices are steadily advancing, and they will probably never again be as low as at the present time. The range is constantly growing smaller and the population larger, which, taken il connection with the fact that hundreds of thousands of cattle have been frozen to death on the noI thern plains the present winter, and It is plain to be seen that the outlook for good prices is very bright.

Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, il

Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in a private letter to friend, gives a concise estimate of the Presidents character. He says: 'We are still waiting for the President who moves with great deliberation, listens to everybody and does as he pleases, His principal nomi- nations so far have surprised the Democrats as much as Republi- cans, but they are generally strong men, whose selection will be ap- proved by the conservative forces of the country. He has no imagi- nation or sentiment, and his policy will not be sensational or startling, but if he keeps on as he has begun his administration will grow in popular favor. He is self-pos- sessed and confident, and exhibits no perturbation of mind and is a good humored President through out. though there is much grum- bling among Democrats at the de- lay in turning the rascals out; but if Cleveland can stand the racket for the next twelve months he will bring the party to its knees and be strong leader. He has a great opportunity and evidently intends to improve it.

Doc Smart, convicted of the Pantano train robbery, recelved a life sentence. George Green, who confessed to participation in the crime, was sentenced to five years Smart made a determined attempt at suicide on the night of the 27th inst. by firing three shots from a 3S-cal. bulldog pistol into his head. The bullets fattened against his skull, however, and at last ac- counts he was still in the land of the living.
