came more civilized, and the Africans now are ambitious to enter the service of the Europeans on the coast. Those who are not fitted for assistants in trade or for servants live in the forests, gathering ivory and rubber for the white trader. N Cocolo, being too young to be of use in mercantile way, lived in one of his nncles' huts in the village of Melisse.
 MT. Steckelman came to America, and went to Columbus, Ind, when he was quite young. He afterwards went to Mayumba, and engaged in trading trips into the interior. Some young Africans who had gone to Europe or to America had learned great deal, and had gone back to become accountants in the coast trading stations. N Cocolo's parents begged Steckelman to take the boy to the white mans land, and to teach him to read and write, in order that when he returned he might be a bookkeeper. This may not seem very digniied position for prince of the blood, but 1t is better than living in hut in the forest and gathering ivory and rubber. Steckel- man brought the boy with him to Colum- bus, Ind. There the trader has a store of African goods which be has sent on from time to time.
 N Cocolo was taken to this store, which, when he arrived, was partly used for Christmas goods. It must have been a singular sensation to the boy to be set down among so many toys, The people in Africa go wild about a few trinkets. So great is this passion that explorers take with them immense coils of brass wire, which they give to the natives to make ornaments of. One may imagine that an African boy, 9 years old, placed in Christmas store, would almost burst with pleasurable though avaricious emo tions.
 The youngster took position in the back of the store, where he at once be- came an object of great interest, espe- cially to children. Some of them thought he wouldn't understand their remarks, but party of boys and girls who were criticising him one day were surprised to hear him sayi

Steckelman expects to re- turn to Africa next summer, and will take N Cocolo with him. After the boy is sufficiently instructed he Is to be Mir, Steckelman's bookkeeper. He is dressed in white mans clothes, which he takes to quite naturally, except the shoes. Although he wears sizes altogether toe large for him, he prefers the barefoot system of his native land. He thinks 1 America is a fine country, but he re gards the climate cold. There is certainly enough influenza, catarrh, bronchitis anC other kindred diseases in America-es pecially in winter-to impress boy who has lived in tropical Africa with nc rainlent save broech cloth. As soon a! the youngster got to living in houses heated by modern improved processes and to wearing good clothes, he caugh tremendous cold.

OfInterest to Nlormons.

The following is petition which is being circulated in Graham county with view of seeking redress from the legislative assembly:
 To the judiciary committee of the fifteenth legislature of the territory of Arizona:
 We the undersigned residents of the county of Graham, most respectfully request that you will investigate and afford relief to the citizens of the coun- ty from the action of the Mormon priesthood now residing in our midst, who by commands and falsehoods, so impose upon the people under their charge that by compelling them to cast their votes as unit, they can and do nullify and make of non-effect the will of the gentle citizens of the county. We call your attention to the fact that the Mormon priesthood use all their arbitrary powers to ac- complish their ends, and that this un- American institution as it exists at this present time acts as barrier to the prosperity of Graham county and the territory at large.

In tle face of such an ssertion the leading party press has ,roduced statistical columns of figures O show a net democratic gain of 'oles at the last election. By the Worlds measure of partisan accessions loes it mean to include these ad- htional voters in its bill-of-sale cata- oguei The idea of triumph of the CIV over the masses" is simply ab- surd. The result of the count of the sotes cast shows quite the opposite to oe true. It was triumph of the mass es over the few. Itis true that not able instances are fresh in the minds of the people where the flow triumphed over the masses, but they were in- variably in the interests of the party the World represents. The wholesale manipulations of the ballots in San Francisco; in West Virginia and in Arkansas have created scandal that has oven led to bloodshed, and nc decent person can endorse such wan ton reversal of the public will. Il seems somewhat strange that Q news paper of such prominence as the New York World would assume to arrogate 10 one political party all the virtues and to the other all the vices of oul political system. We do not believe that either party endorses willful frauds at the ballot box, nor the wholesale bribery of which the World intimates.

a True Statement.


A writer in an exchange very aptIy
states: ''The country printer is often
the suffer from competition with cheap
city offices, which many times secure
local work which rightfully belongs
TO the home establishment and none
other. In our town firms from neigh
boring cities have sent their repre-
sentatiYes around to our merchants
soliciting work at non-livable prices,
and in some instances these men of
business who are dependent on the
growth of our town for their pros
perity, to save a few nickels, give
their orders to the foreign firm and
then when they wish tour home in
dustries'' doomed expect the home
printer to do the booming free gratis. :"

PoETIcAL.
how the BABY came.

The Lady Moot came down last night
She did. you NEEDN'T doubt it,
Alovely lady dressed in whites
TTltell you all about it.
They hurried Len and me to bed,
And Aunty said ''Now may be,
That pretty moon overhead
Win bring us down baby.
''You lie as quiet as can be,
Perhaps wen catch her peeping
Between the W indow bars, % SEQ
If all the folks are sleeping,
And then, # both Of you keep stil1,
And all the room is shady,
She'll float across the window sill,
A bony white moon lady.
''AcroSs the sill, along the floor,
You'll see her shining brightly,
Until she comes to mothers door,
And then shc'l vanish lightly;
But in the morning you viii find,
If nothing happens may be.
She left us something nice behind,
A beautiful star baby"
We didn't just believe her then,
For Aunty's always chaflng;
The tales she tells to me aud Len
Would make you die a-laughIng;
And when she went uut pretty h5oH,
Len said: That's aunty hummiug;
There amt bit of lady moon,
Nor any baby coming"
Thought myself it was a fb,
And yet wasn't certain;
So kept quiet in the crib,
And peeped behind the curtain.
didn't mean to sleep wink,
But all without warning,
dropped right off. and don't you think
never walked till morning.
Then there was Aunty by my bed,
And when climbed and kissed her.
She smiled and said: ''You sleepy hcud!
You've got a little sisterl
What made you shut your eyes so soon
I've half mind to scold you
For down she came, that lady moon.
Exactly as told you!"
And truly it was not joke,
In spite of Lens denying,
For just the very time she spoke
We heard the baby crying.
The way We jumped and made rush
For mothers room that minute!
But Aunty stopped us, crying, ''hushl
Or else you shau't go in it"
And so we had to tiptoe in,
And keep an awful quiet,
AS if it was mighty sin
TO make bit of riot:
But there was baby, anyhow
The funniest little midget!
just wish you could peep in now,
And see her squirm and fidget-
Len says he don't believe It's true
He isn't such gaby-
The moon had anything to do
With bringing ms that baby;
BUTT seeems 70 me it's very clear,
As clear as running water
Last night there was 40 baby here,
So something must have brought her.
