WRITES FROM THE GRAVE OF A BOOM.

Councilman C. F. Derby writes from Los
Angeles. bearing date of the 10th inst,
that he is sitting by a coal oil stove trying
TO keep warm in the glorious climate of
California" The mercury chased down
into the bulb and in the language of the
coast liar. it's the coolest day every known
in that country. Mr. Derby don't seem TO
put much faith in the attempts of the ma
tives to explain away the climate. He
writes that the banana crop will be behind
time this year, and in fact, no hopes of it
arriving until the next. The orange crop
is also a failure as result of the cold
weather. IN summing up the situation
Mr.. Derby writes: ''ln fact this is the
most sorrowful looking country ever saw
as well as the most overrated. Trains de-
layed five days and the boom dead, dead,
dead. We will start for Gods country as
soon as we lind train that's coming
through"

SUICIDE.

Through telegram message from Pratt
yesterday it was learned that George K.
Bowers. agent of Kingman, Pratt and
Western, at that place, had committed
suicide the evening before. As near as can
be gathered from the meagre information
received it seems that Bowers was sitting
at the supper table and without saying a
word to anyone placed revolver to his
head and blew out his brains. No reason
is assigned for the deed other than that he
was suffering from a fit of mental
alteration

MY LITTLE FRIENDS.

No matter where go;
Ny heart toward them in fondness tends
And they love me, know.
Each day when on the street,
Myself they chance to see,
With shout, and laugh, and flying feet
They hurry up to me.
There's merry Maud and happy May,
With eyes as black as jet;
And Susie B., and winsome Fay,
And Grace, my blue-eyed pet.
And there is Blanch, my golden hair
With such wreath of tresses;
And Bertha, too, to claim her share
OF candy and caresses.
Then toddles up the smallest tot,
To join the other Misses,
And asks eXpectant: What's 'ou dot
Oh, is they tandy tisses?

Though none OF you are mine)
And keep you through the coming years,
So pure none can malign.
