FrigtEegea Enjoyed by Western Editors.
We take the following extracts from
the last issue of the Arizona Kicker:

" DdsA0 h44o AO1AJE G4sL as-lt7S AA~AAA
the last issue Of the Arizona Kicker:
EXPLANATORY.
LAST week we announced that we were
on the trail of J. B. Davis, the Apache
avenue grocer, and that this weeks issue
would contain an expose calculated to
startle the community. We had over a
column Of it in type when AIE. Davis
called at The Kicker Office and sub
seribed for the paper and gave us a col
umn ad. for a year.
"AIr. Davis Is not only genial,
whole-souIed gentleman, worthy OF
place In our best society, but an enter
prising, go-ahead citizen who is a credit
to the whole State. When you want
the best of goods at the lowest prices
call on him.
REFORMING SLOWLY.
"When we struck this town the chief
Of police lay drunk on the sidewalk IN
front of the postofice, and the six pa
trolmen were playing pool or poker.
Any one Of the crowd could be bought
for half dollar. We have been peg
ging away for reform with each issue of
The Kjcter, and we are pleased to note
an improvement. The chief hasn't been
drunk for the last fortnight, and yester-
day we counted four patrolmen on their
beats at one time.
"All reforms move slowly. but pa
Eence and perseverance viii accomplish
much. We shall keep at it, and we pre-
dict that the day will yet come when
we shall have a police force which shall
not fear a drunken Indian nor sell out

NOT THIS YEAR.
Considerable anxiety has been ex-
pressed by our many friends and we'll
wishers over the fact that The Kicker
did not get the city printing this year.
In answer to all inquiries we reply that
we did not want it. The total income
last year was 96 cents, while we lent
over $15 to the Mayor and Aldermen
and never expect to get a cent Of it
back. We can't stand that kind of a
racket more than one year.

with bad whisky for the last month to

that the Judge ought to be raked fore
and aft, but we can't do it just now. We
are his creditor to the amount of about
800, and if we opened on him he'd tell US

TWO YOUNG PUBLISHERS.

How Two Young Men Control the Pens of
Famous Authors.
Only those on the ''inside' of New
York literature and journalistic circles,
says the New York Star, know anything
about ''The BOX Syndicate Press a
bureau from which emanate many of the
best and most striking literary articles
by famous authors found in the modern
newspaper. 1t is owned and managed
by two bEothers, Edward W and William
j. Box. The combined ages of these
two young publishers do not make the
figure fifty, and yet within their control
rests one of the most remarkable literary
influences OF to-day. They control the
five of the most famous men
and women of the day, which they
supply to newspapers simultaneously
all over this country and in Canada and
England. Edward Box holds a respon-
sbie position in one of the big New York
publishing houses, and his name is
withheld from the enterprise. William
devotes all his time to the work, and
under his name the business is con-
Quoted. While Edward makes all the
contracts with authors, William stands
at the helm and carries out the ideas of
his younger brother. A better matched
couple of brothers it would be difficult to
find. Edward has a wonderfully extern
sive acquaintance among famous people
He is wei read, has good literary judg-
ment and knows precisely what the peo-
pie want. William is of untIring en-
ergy, and u doubtful literary ven
ture becomes a success in Lis hands.
The brothers are very popular in society,
and one is almost sure to meet them at
any prominent literary or social event
Both are good takers, have pleasant q
manners, and what the one lacks the
other supplies. They have built up their
business from nothing, Henry Ward
Beecher started Edward by making him
his literary manager, and in this way the
bureau began. Now, almost every
author of note writes for the two
brothers. They have no difficulty in Sc
curing writers, for they pay promptly
and manage excellently. Their princi-
pal writers include Grace Greenwood,
Wilkie Collins, Marion Harland, Lew
Wallace, Ella Wheeler, Will Carleton,
Max o Rel and a score of others. They
WORK quietly, the general public hears
but little of them, yet it is doubtful
whether any two young men in New
York have so bright a future before
them

SECURE HOMES.

ApropOs of appeals frequently made by
THE GAZETTE is an article from the
Scranton (Pa.) Truth, and it is pre-
sented for the consideration of all who
wish to encourage efforts looking to the
acquisition of homes by all the homeless
GA conspicuous feature in the many
changing scenes presented in trip
through the Lackawanna, Wyoming and
Lehigh valleys, and one, too, that
attracts most attention and excites
most comment, is the number of
cosy dwellings owned mostly by their &C.
cupants-mechauics, miners, Iaborers
and wage-workers generally. 1t is a
feature that speaks with more force than
words can do of the purpose of n people.
The man who owns his own house is an
example of economy and thrift that none
may controvert. With q small recon-
pense for his labor he has been able to
build himself q house while establishing
a home for his family. OF course it nav
have taken years to do II, but in those
years he was buoyed up by a hope that
he would attain his end, and in this pur-
pose and the subsequent fulffllment of it
he had at once his inspiration and his re-
ward, which have made his rugged toll
and constant application q matter OF en-
joyment.
"The achievement by the American
workman of a home aud house to hold
it, is one that cannot be too often re-
ferred to and too persistently encouraged
in whatever way possible.
1.-the economy taught is worth a great
deal as an object lesson. The people are
also better for it, not merely because
they may become richer, but because they
become better citizens. A man who owns
a house, or is building one, is sure to be
Iaw-abiding and proud of the COM
munity in which he lives. He IS a per-
manent citizen, cannot be turned into
an anarchist, and will prove conserv-
ator of public interests whenever they
are called into question.
''There are many means provided bv
which a provident bread winner can
build himself house. Every enter
prise of this nature should be encour-
aged. There is no place like home.
and homecoming arouses and strength
ems the home feeling. The more happy
and comfortable homes we have the
greater the repression os the forces tor

that are done every day in the year, and
yet people refuse to learn not to be taken
in by the shallow frauds. And It is not
| only the ladies VIII allow themselves to
be duped thus. What man who has an
office has not seen it invaded by mystic
rious individual who has just procured
from sailor lot of Struggled suitings
which be is selling at large discount
under the price for which the
same goods, brought through the custom
house, and paying the regular duty,
could be sold? And where is the man
who has not bought of this goods, only
to find it the meanest shoddy?
There is one way to avoid being
cheated in this manner, and that is to
make all your purchases from regular
dealers. The smoothest gam bier in the
country has rule of negation by which
he saves himself from being robbed.
1t is, Fneyer bet against a man Is
own game The pedd1er is as
smart as you are, and he knows
more about his own business,
and you may be sure he will not sell you
anything for less than its real worth. It
is to his interest to cheat you, for he
wants to make as much as possible, and
he has no reputation to maintain. With
the regular merchant il is different. His
reputation is large part of his capital.
If he sells you an article recommending
1t as first class, and it proves otherwise,
it is to his interest to make good the diff
ference, for he thereby retains your Gus
tom, when he would otherwise have lest
it.
But, laying aside the question of self
interest, and granting that, so far as
price and quality of goods are concerned,
the me1chant and the peddIer are even,
it is stll the duty of the good citizen to
encourage the man who invests his
money in al enterprise that pays taxes
to support the government, and
tends to build up the city and
develop the country. The merchant
who has a suit in court employs
a>iocal attorney to attend to it; if he has
a sick child, he sends for q local physi-
clan, but how is he to pay these bills and
make living if the lawyers and doctors
and other people of the community leave
his goods to grow old upon the shelves,
and buy their supplies of unknown and
itinerants? There is a\re-
ciprocity about this matter that should
be observed for the good of. ali parties

Stop TFotting that Baby.

"Stop trOttinE that baby,'' feel like
saying this whenever I see anyone trot-
ting a dear little darling Of a baby, aud
see the look of perfect misery, or at best
simple endurance, on the tiny face.
Can it be explained why anyone en-
dOwed with reason can imagine it to Do
pleasant for baby to be perched on
some ones knee and a regular get
theTe-Or-die' trOt ruck up that nearly
unhOOks its head from its shoulders, and
almost jOlts the breath out of its little
body and leaves it so tired it cannot even
cry?
Some people seem TO think that when
they take baby in their arms they must
work themselves into a fever to keep it
quiet, when q great many times it would
be glad to be held in quiet
If they do hold the baby they viii wig-
gle piece Of paper or some toy befora
its eyes, which would be uncomfortable tOi
a grown person, especially if it should bsj
something he wished to see.
How beneficial it must be to the eyes
as baby tries to fX them on these waverT
ing objects.
Some other persons have a way of try
ing to see how near they can come 10
either killing or Gripping baby, and not
do it.
This is by balancing the baby Oh one
hand, in an unsteady fashion, when too
small to help itself, or, when a little
older and great deal heavier, to take
1t by the ankles or knees, and say.
Now suffy up, baby, - and up, up il

her supplies economically, has been
taken in by the pack or wagon peddIer
who hawks his wares from door to door.

regular grocery merchant sells them at
1919 cents; chickens bring 90 cents at the
