The Arizona Kicker.

Following are extracts from late
issue of the Arizona Kicker, copied
from the Detroit Free Press:
A foolish idea: Certain people in
this town are in the habit of shoot
ing into the Kicker Office every night
or two, in hopes to riddle u.s. Some
times they shoot through window
and sometimes through door, and
although they have always wasted
their lead, we are growing tired of
the operation. 1t is foolish idea to
suppose we sleep in any one spot in
the office on two successive nights,
and if these would be assassins
haven't got sense enough to haul off,
we shall go into ambush outside
some night and gather couple more
subjects for our private graveyard.

Giving him show: During the
afternoon Of Wednesday last, while
out with the boys on the great rabbit
hunt in Strawberry Valley. we sever
al times felt the whiz Of bullets and
wondered who could be so careless.
1t seemed that ex-Alderman John
son, who was forced to resign when
the Kicker showed him up as bribe
taker, wasn't shooting at jack rabbits,
but at us. He sent at least half a
dozen bullets in our direction before
the boys caught on to him. Then
they would have hung him up but
for us We believe in giving every
body a show out West. We believe
that is the way to build up the coun-
try. We begged Johnson off and
gave him show to repent of the er-
ror Of his ways, and we hope he will
have sense enough to profit by it.
If not, he will be found playing pen
dulum some morning from the limb
Of tree.

A COwbOuy's Charity.

Last evening a tall, ~well-formed man,
with long hair, a wide brImmed SOM
brero and otherwise of the typical cow
boy appearance, was attentively studying
the bill board and pictures in front of
Niblo's Theater. His hat was turned up
in front, his teeth held firmly a cigar
angled at forty-fve degrees, and his gen
eral demeanor indicated that he was un-
der the influence of liqnor. Presently a
miserably clad woman, with a child in
her arms, came along. She looked wan
and poverty stricken In the extreme, and
her gown was of old and thin stuff, ut
terly insufficient to protect her from the
chill of the night.
She saw the cowboy and hesitated.
Then she approached him and silently
extended her hand. He saw her and
took in. the situation at once.
"Tl be hanged iE faint too bad!
Hold ont" he exclaimed. He ran over
to the flower stand and bought the most
expensive bouquet in sight. "There!
take it-s'all right" he said, handing it
to her, and turning on his heel, rushed
into the theater.-Mew York Telegram.

A Biz Hickory Tree.

Mot many Eastern people, unless they
are. acquainted with tho forests of the
Mississippi Valley, and especially those
found On the higher Allegheny Mount
aims, know what a really large hickory
tree is. The shellbarks of southern In
d1ang are sometimes $50 feet tall, with
trunks four or five feet in diameter, and
bare of Limbs for seventy or eighty feet,
and even larger trees can be found in the
still almost untouched forests of eastern
Tennessee and western North Carolina.
But those large trees are doomed, and
before many years have passed every
hickory tree OF sufficient size and proper
quality will have been sacrificed to
supplythe ever-inoreasing demand for the
wood.

Don't be afraid of breeding too large
horses, says the Western A~gricuhurist
The people Of the present day want them.
The best farmers will have them, and the
heavy freighters in the cities can not do
without them. The size of the horse of
the future will FIX its value. The boom
is up for big ones, SO don't neglect to
breed them. and afterward to feed them.
A big pair of half-breed Normans that
are well matched will bring $500 as quick
" as one silver dollar will bring another.
The best horse for the farmer and ranch
man to raise is the draft horse. The
400 to 100 pound draft horse requires
no special experience or training to sell.
and there is no need of a professional
trainer. A ready market is constantly
open for the draft horse. The demand
far exceeds the supply. The farmer can
turn them into cash at their real value
more quickly than any other class of
horses. While cattle, sheep and hogs
have been so depressed the past year or
two, the draft horse breeders have met
an active demand at big prices; In fact,
they are masters of the situation, and
about the only class of breeders that can
set up their W prices, and get It. too.

ade a Big Affair.
A Wealth of Costumes Shown by

Prizes Awarded to Uncle Sam and
State of Wyoming.

A very peculiar and unusual entertain

1t was conceived by members of the
Cheyenne Mennerchor. 8 social organiza'
ton composed for the most part OF Ger
man citizens, but having on the lists also
a few of other n~ationalities. The plans
formed by the choir were faithfully exc
cuted by the corporation of a large and
jovial force ever prompt in response to
the OF Prince Carnival. This
celebration was quite a gorgeous affair
and successful from every view.
At 9 o'clock the hall was thronged
with ladies and gentlemen Enthusiastically
arrayed. All the characters in the cata-
logue of the costumer was represented
and a hundred original rigs we're shown.
Many dresses elected admiration for their
beauty aud richness. but the majority
were provocative of laughter. Some of
the people acter their characters In this
line the Irish w~asherwoman was a nota-
BILE success.
Up to 1890 the music was by the full
Union Pacific band; hat is. all members
of the baud played. After masks had
been removed a programme of fourteen
numbers was danced to the tuneful strains
OF an excellent orchestra.
A committee including w. p. Carroll,
Ed. Lawler and Mrs. Hader viewed the
dancers officially for the purpose of Sc
Letting the best and next best costumes.
The result was the awarding of hrst
prize to Harry Wilmore who appeared

A Gold Mine is a veritable treasure
house Of comedy and wit and no better or
more skillful magician than Nat Good
win could ever be found to open to the
pleasure loving public its precious sto res
Of sparkling intelligence. Nat Goodwin
as "Silas Woolcot" typifes the ideal
American and Westeruer as we love to
believe him; witty. generous, manly and
irresistible with the tair sex He mingles
comedy with the pathos of the circum
stances of his sale of his gold mine with
a naturalness which makes his acting a
charm. More pathetic than any high
flown scene of a tragedy is the simple
story be tells Miss Tina Foxwood of his
brother and no more delicate or enjoyable
humor has been portrayed than his love
scene with the Hon. Mrs. Merideth.
Nat Goodwin so takes upon himself the
personality Of Isl Woolcot'' that there is
hearty rejoicing among his hearers for his
own sake as well as "Woolcot's" when
his troubles end in a short cut to matri-
mony and fortune.
MIR. Goodwin's support il The Gold
Mine is exceptionally strong. Miss lisa
bella Coe is a charming Hon. Mrs. Meri
deth'' and her presentation of the charac-
ter warrants the display of Isl Woolcot's"
admiration and sacrifices, Mr.. Paul Ar.
thur as Gerald Riodan" is as clever as a
member of parliament and correspondent
should be, and his shadow of a broguC
was deliciously funny.
The Gold Mine is a distinctive Ameri
can comedy and to lovers of crisp, spark
ling humor is a treat from beginning t.
end. There is a racy battle Of wit ii
every dialogue which gives life to scene:
which otherwise might become monoto
GUS and make s a story which in itsel
lacks action decidedly interesting to tn,
hearer.
