THE THREE TRAVELLERS


Three travellers, once on . time,
las ancient story goes)
Together reached country Inn
And sought nights repose.
One was a Judge, OF merry nien,
Attic his locks were gray;
The second was n parson grave;
The third, Captain gay.
"Alackr the civil host replied,
You're welcome TO my fare;
But, on my word, the Golden Swan
Has but one bed to spared"
In such a case it were but just"
The weary travellers said,
" The landlord should himself decide
Which one shall have the bed"
"WclL be it So" mine host replied;
"To m it's all the same;
Now, zen tlemen, I pray, proceed
Let each assert his claim"
The Captain was the first to speak,
And by his sword he swore
That he had lain in garrison
dozen years and more.
His honor then put in his claim:
For twice as long as that
I've worn the ermine Of a Judge,
And on the bench have sat.
The Parson said: IT serve the church;
In this my claim appears
That In the sacred ministry
I've stood for thirty years"
1.-THE case is settledw said mine host;
The Parsons right is best;
To He or sit-'tis very clear
Affords deal OF rest;
But one who like this worthy man."
The laughing landlord said,
Has STOOD God help him y thirty years,
May fairly claim the bedr

Never IrrItale Your Husband.

A wife must necessarily learn to form
her husbands happiness, in what direc-
ton the secret lies; she must not cher
ish his weaknesses by working upon
them; she must not rashly run counter
to his preiudices, her motto must be,
never to irritate. She must study never
to draw largely on the small stock OF
patience in a mans nature, nor to in
crease his obstinacy by trying TO drive
him; never, never, If possible, to have
scenes. l doubt much if real quarrel,
even made up, does not loosen the bond
between man and wife, and sometimes,
unless the affection of both be very sim
cere, lastlngly. If irritation should oc-
cur, woman must expect to hear from
most men strength and vehemence of
language far more than the occasion re-
quires. Mild, as we'll as stern men, are
prone to this exaggeration of language;
let not woman be tempted to say any
thing sarcastic or violent in. return.
The bftterest repentance must needs
follow II she do. Men frequently for
get what they have said, but seldom
what is uttered by their wives. They
are grateful, too, for forbearance in
such cases; for, whilst asserting most
loudly that they are right, they are
often conscious that they are wrong.
Give little time, as the greatest boon
you can bestow, to the irritated feelings
Of your husband. IN. Y. Ledger.

Casa Grande Notes.

Casa Grande is now dubbed the Railroad Metropolis and City of Wind mills.
 For the last two weeks teams have been hauling in heavy wagon loads of Vekol wealth for shipment to the SocOrro smelter. It is estimated that $20,000 worth of ores have been haul ed in during that time.
 The canal men have been very active here withi-l the past few weeks. They promise water from the Gila to the railroad within a limit of thirty days They are held in high favor here, in asmuch as they are the pioneers of what will bring into existence con tinuous garden extending from Flor ence to Casa Grande.
 Many express themselves delighted to hear of the new move made by THE ENTERPRISE in acquiring new press fa- cilities. They class it as credit to l the county, as it is, and predict a pros porous career for 1t in its new clothing ! and also for the county at large, inas- much as newspaper is a mirror of its community.
 Rev. Bishop Bourgade, of the Cath ollie church of Arizona, made trip to Florence and -eturned this week. He is a gentleman of fine personal appear ance and very courteous in his man ners.
 The railroad is doing an exceeding ly large traffic Railroad trains arc numerous and freight is coming in with great rapidity. This is said to be the result of Elliott & Blaine's direct policy of home protection. Vim.

IF 1t proves to be fact that Prison Commissioner Geo. H. Stevens has absconded with large sum of the prison funds, the blame for any loss to the territory will rest largely with ex-Governor Zulick, who vetoed the resolution of the last Legislative As sembly providing for an investigation into the affairs of that institution. It was whispered even at that time that something was wrong with the treas urer of the board of commissioners and the investigation would have led to a correction of such evils as might have existed. But the governor did not want an investigation, probably through fear that something might be unearthed that affected his own inter- ests, and he inlerposed his official pre- rogative of veto to efectually close the doors against any authoritative in- vestigation, upon the most flimsy pre- text imaginable. The result is a vim dication of the legislative efforts and a proper cause for the censure of the ex- governor It is now quite evident that he was aware of the impending scandal and shirked the responsibility of dealing with it in a proper and manly way.

BelIing the Rat.

Dr. McCresswell is troubled with rats that is to say, rats infest his drug store. Every now and then he will find a large rat in the trap. The other day an unusually large one was caught. It was not killed, for the doctor is too ten der hearted to kill anything. MT. Rat was chloroformed, and while asleep q tiny silver bell attached to piece of silk was placed round the rats neck. After painting the day and date of capture on the rats back restoratives were used, and the rodent was soon in a condition to walk about the cage trap. The merry tinkle of the bell produced queer sen sation on the rat. It's fact, the coun- tenance of the rat assumed ivid hue and it became so nervous that its teeth chattered. Then the rat was freed. and darting in its hole disappeared. What effect the tinkling of the bell had on the other rats can better be imagined than described, but all the rats have left the drug Washington Capital.

THE halter is very close to the necks of the five Apache Indians now in the county jaii and convicted of murder. One of the slayers of Diehl recited the details of the killing in a horribly brutal and boastful way He told how he sighted his victim from the rocks above and what a splendid shot he made with pistol, and laughed with fiendish glee at the hellish crime. Like the others convicted of killing farmer Jones near Dudleyville, he said he shot the white man without any reas- on or cause, and only because he want ed to kill somebody. They were all given fair and impartial trial and were accorded all the benefits and privileges of our somewhat lax laws, but there was not one circumstance in their several crimes that appealed for mercy. The effect of their punish ment after so long time had lapsed since the crimes were perpetrated, will be most beneficial upon other Indians, who will realize that justice will sure ly follow the commission of crime and that the reservation limits afford no safe refuge for the fugitives.

TO PURIFY WATER.

Boiling sterilizes water, and within thirty minutes will have killed harmful bacteria
 Drugs and other agents acting chemically, if used in amounts which are commonly safe, do not sterilize water.
 The prolonged heat which water undergoes in the usual process of distillation destroys all germs which may be in the water under going the process.
 The finer the substance through which the water passes and the lower the pressure the more perfect is the action of the filter in holding back the bacteria
 A bad water filter is less desirable than a pure water in its natural state. When, there- fore, Alteration is employed because of real danger of infection, the filtered water should, as rule, be furthermore boiled.
 Filtering is done carefully on large scale through sand beds, upon which fine layer of organic and inorganic matter is expressly produced by sedinentation, because of it's valuable action in holding back the great majority of the bacteria

THE Governor is taking steps to lay before congress strong protest from the people of Arizona against the re- peal of the desert land law which has proved so beneficial in the develop ment of the southern portion of this territory, and has addressed a circular to the supervisors of each county re- questing their views and those of other enterprising citizens upon the subject. The plan of the special sen ate committee on arid lands, as drawn from their observations in central Cal .fornia, is tho repeal of all existing land laws and the substitution of homestead law limiting the entry to to forty, or at the most eighty, acres of land. While this plan is probably the best that could be devised were irrigating canals and storage reser- voirs constructed by the government, it is fatal to the reclamation of the large tracts of arid land in Arizona and New Mexico that require unusual inducements to large capital to sup ply the water. The land is now abso- lutely worthless and no settler nor a score, nor even hundred, could sue ceed in developing an adequate sup ply of water for any lands they might wish to reclaim under the proposed law, for the reason that they do not possess the necessary means for that purpose It would far better pay the government to give away all the land designated irrigating canal will bring under cultivation, upon the condition that every acre shall be disposed of to actual settlers in small tracts for a reasonable price within ten years from the commencement of the work. This would induce capital to at once seek these investments with a certainty of a remunerative return, and the arid  lands would be largely brought under a high state of cultivation within the next decade. Next to this arrange ment the present desert land law has
 the most beneficial effect upon the arid regions, as the developments in this valley and that of Salt river clear ly prove. Gov. Wolfiey has signifed
 his intention of being present in
 Washington upon the assembling of
 Congress, and will urge the retention
 of the desert land law, or at least the
 exemption of Arizona from changes
 that may be made i'll the present land 1 laws.

Cannon Rall Camera.

Capt. Meredith, John Ritchie and George Shields, known as "old hosses" and "old timers" sat around in the Press club one afternoon recently and talked about the times of the war and told of the funny capers that cannon balls and musket balls cut. Capt. Meredith said he once found dead Confederate be- hind tree The dead man was resting on one knee, in position to shoot His musket was in his hands, the butt of the gun was against his shoulder, and one eye was open, squinting along the gun barrel There wasn't mark on the body, but the man was stone dead. There was ten pound cannon ball buried in the tree. The man had been killed by the concussion.
 Mr. Shields said that he saw a cannon ball go into the ground about 200 yards in front of where he was standing. He thought that was the end of the matter, but in about three seconds the ball came out of the ground fifty yards beyond the place it struck. It then in it's flight struck stump, carromed off, broke a soldiers leg, and. rolling on a few yards further, upset camp kettle and scalded mans hands.
 John Ritchie said he saw man hit with a spent cannon ball. He walked over to where the man lay to see what he could do for him-give him drink out of his canteen, or a chew of tobacco, or something but all that was visible was mass of about 100 pounds of flesh and blue cloth, mixed up like sausage with an eye and two teeth sticking out on top.
 Capt. Meredith said that, speaking oi cannon balls, one of the most move sights he witnessed during the war wa; cannon ball about as big as four bar rel going through a horse lengthwise- that is, lengthwise of the horse. There was left of the horse its head, its foul 1 feet and the lower six inches of its tail.
 When it reached this stage I saw tha there was disposition to break dowr the ropes and let everybody take hant in the lying, so got away before l wa crippled. Chicago Mail.

Framing NIosuuitoes.

Three or four men were sitting on the piazza of seaside cottage smoking. It was evening. The stars were as thick in the sky as freckles on red headed girls face. The waves came in on the beach with swish-swash-swosh just as they have done ever since the second day of the creation.
 More piercing than the song of the waves were the notes, and more multi tudinous than the stars of heaven the number of the mosquitoes that haunted that piazza, and every one of them was 'looking for blood" The men had ceased smoking for fun. They now putfed their pipes and cigars to keep the mosquitoes away.
 Something funny about mosquitoes" said one rather absent mindedly.
 "Yes, rather" was the diawling reply.
 Funny how much blood it takes to fill one of them up."
 ''No, but honest, now; do you know that if mosquito d get his bill down into your hand he can't pull it out while you hold your breath?"
 'Don't believe it.
 IL IS hO" CfCA, AOi l 1dNO VI iSO it."
 "Bet you the cigars a mosquito cal take his bill out at any time he wants to do it, and we will try it right here. Is it go?'
 'It is, and I'll let them try" A lamp was lighted, the cigars put out and all waited. In less than minute a mos- quito had placed himself on Toms hand and begun operations.
 "Now," said Tom, and placed the fore finger of his other hand down close to the mosquito. It did not budge He placed his nail against the abdomen of | the insect and whirled it around. Still 1 it remained fixed.
 "You can do it every time" said Tom as he killed the mosquito and drew q long breath.
 It is fact. Go and try it.-Bostor | Globe.
