The Little Breeches. !,

d. It was during Governor Ben For
A5er's schoolboy days that the Incl
dent occurred whose relation in the
newspapers years afterward won for
him in his first gubernatorial cam
paign in 1888 the sobriquet Of Cit
tie Breeches.''
One very busy Summer when Ben
was eight or nine years old and going
to a Summer school, his pants gave
out. They had previously been
patched by his Industrious mother in
The late evenings after Ben had gone
90 bed. But now they had given out
1 II eyo1ll the possibility Of any more
/ catching.
y The day this happened, while poor,
blushing Benny was studying at
school and trying as best he could to
hide the rents in his pants, his loving
mother was planning and contrivine
how she could rig him out with a new
pair.
Her sister, Julia Scott, had come
over that morning to bel 10 with the
days work. So Julia Scott and
Maggie Foraker put their wits to
work to see what they could do in
the matter of breeches for Door Ben,
my.
"Haven't you any cloth at all in
the house?' asked sister Julia Scott
no old thing you could make over
no nothing"
NO; nothing but that Jeans in the
loom, and have no time to weave. u
Now, Maggie, just think" per
sisted Ben's sympathizing Aunt ] ulia,
"haven't you any old bag that we
could cut up?'' .,-
"Why, we bought a new sack OF
coffee when the men were coming to
tx the dam. The coffee sack is
double, and the inside sack is pretty
!. strong, good stuff"
\, ''Get it," said Aunt Julia, "and I'll
help you make the breeches. Well
make it do somehow
That night, when bushing and hon
est-hearted Benny came home from
school, he was told that he would
have a new pair Of pants in the
morning.
The next morning Ben put them on
with some disappointment in his
and heart cOuntenance.
While his mother was putting up
mis- dinner for him to carry to school,
Ben sided up to her, and, with tears
Il his eyes, a tremble in his voice,
Etnd deep sorrow in his sensitive soul,
he said: ( Z,
d "Mother, I can tswear these breeches
to school. All the~hoys and girls will
laugh at me-"
''Oh, never mind,' said the CHEEKY
voiced mother, kindly hiding g.
m!otherly sympathy that Was pain
ing her own heart
''Never mind. Let'em laugh if
they want to. You just study hard,
=, and when you get to be a smart and
.ilearned man nobody will ask yos
what kind of breeches you wore when
you went to SCHOOL,
So Benny went to school with his
coffeesack breaches and 'let EN-
laugh"

Greeting of old Friends.

Hon. John W. Darlington, editor of the SENTINEL, at Yuma, one ot best papers in the Territory, and the oldest, not counting the Citi@e'e, came in on yesterdays train on business with Maj. Fred Smith, Ex- Receiver of the Land Office, who has been in California for two weeks. MT. Darlington is one of the prominent men of the Territory and member of the Territorial council. He has recently improved his paper by adding new dress. His visit here at this time will af- ford him the desirable opportunity of attending the annual reunion of the Society of Arizona Pioneers, of which he is an honored member. The proposed opposition in the business at Yuma is not causing Mir. Darlington to lose sleep at nights; many newspaper have began and ended in Yuma, and the SENTINEL has never been seriously effected by them.- Tucson Citizen, Dec. 31st.

A Trip Up Lake Horicon, New

Written for TIE SENTINEL by Horcon.I EDITOR SENTINEL:-ln our trip up Lake Horizon, we did not mention
 the great point that "tourists" most
 delight in, the old Ticonderoga Fort,
 which Ethan Allen once summoned to
 Surrender ''In the name of the Great
 Jehoiah and the continental Con
 gress," but we will retrace our steps
 and take glance at its ruins, and as
 the steamer has been put at our ser
 vices, we need not hurry, for the
 Captain says he will signal us in time,
 so we will visit the Fort. As you
 notice, you see the Fort was built to
 command the entrance to the deep
 waters of Lake Champlain, and the
 outlet of the waters of Lake Horizon,
 Here the waters of Champlain begi1

Amoug the ruins in and Iround the Fort, are to be found pieces of bayonet, flint lock, parts f muskets, fiints, grape shot and can lon balls, etc. As We leave the Fort nd take the overland route to Hori. on, we ascend 230 feet in a distance f three miles, to the pure waters of 1oricon.

numbers engaged that those days re- cord. We must not fail to take a look at "Old Defiance" that forms the high point between the lower end of Horicon and Champlain, and over- looks Fort Ticonderoga. The French had supposed this mountain inaccessi- ble for troops and cannons, and neg leeted to fortify and hold It, which could readily have been done at little cost; but the cautious, sturdy Eng fish commander, while approaching the French forces in the Fort, sent a detachment up the western slope of "Old Defiance, and placing his guns in position, compelled the foe to evac uate the Fort, or take what else might follow, and hence the Fort passing into the hands of the English, and their successors, the heroic "American Yankee" The outlet of Horicon is one of the most magnificent water powers of the Eastern States. It has a fall of 230 feet in distance of less than two miles, and is divided unto what is called the upper and the lower falls, and saw mills, cotton mills, wood pulp mills, paper mills, graphite works, iron works, and the different manufacturing establishments form a busy hive of industry at Ticonderoga. On the north shore of the outlet is to he seen the plain marble monument of small dimensions, that marks the ex- act spot where the gallant Lord Howe fell. Rev. Joseph H.

A correspondent of the Chino
 Champion gives the following valuable
 hints on pineapple culture: The
 pineapple is quite susceptible to cold,
 but will stand light frost. This is
 the way raise them: 1 plant them
 from two to three feet apart and fence the place where they are planted
 with board fence, the inclosure to be not Over forty feet wide. When the
 weather begins to get cool I put a curtain of canvas around the fence, leaving the bottom of the curtain un- fastened so that it can be raised up during warm weather and let down when the windu are cold. Length wise in the center of the pineapples I put down few posts on which place a ridgepole, and then from either side place stripes four inches wide from the sides to the center, leaving the strips from three to four inches apart. When 1t gets cold 1 cover these strips with light covering of hay, and when it gets warm l take the hay of, leaving the strips for shade, as the pine does better little shaded. The pine will bear ruit in about eighteen months after planting. The stock that bears the ,ine dies and the snckers that come lp from the sides from the new pine.

Yuma and MarIcopa Counties.

Twenty years ago the energies of
 almost the entire people of Arizona
 were devoted to pursuits other than than that of agriculture. Mining was
 nearly the sole industry, and from
 that industry, in connection with
 governmental expenditures by reason
 of the presence of United States
 troops, radiated all resources ot sup
 ply, ana demand. Agriculture was
 not seriously thought of except in
 few isolated places near where troops
 stationed, and where there was rain
 fall suGcient to raise those cereals
 necessary in filling Government con tracts, which contracts created the only then existing market for agri- cultural products. At that time the Salt river valley was desert, arid and heated in summer and bleak in winter. Nothing in that wide stretch of barren land suggested aught of soil
 tilling except those canals that were
 constructed and deserted by race of
 people whose history is lost in the
 void of oblivion, and those but seem ed to proclaim the wreck of an effort
 to create an lmpossibility.
 Some nineteen years ago few ad- venturesome spirits settled upon land in the valley and, as time passed, others joined them, taking out com munity ditches for purposes of irri- gation. Still, for years progress was slow, owing to Indian troubles and other reasons, but today this once barren land is radiant with agricult- ural and horticultural, wealth and beauty, and inhabited by progressive, industrious and happy people. It presents living, glowing and realistic advertisement of what the arid lands of Arizona will produce when brought under the influence of water.
 The vast valleys of the Colorado and Gila rivers, lying within the limits of Yuma county, possess equal advantages Tn the way of quality of soil, and greater in water supply and character of climate. The same pro ducts as are grown in Salt River val | ley thrives as well as in this county, but the raising of citrus fruits there has proved to be but an unsatisfactory while here 1t is a demon success. Another advantage rests in the fact that all our products rlpen sooner, thus assuring an earlier demand and better price. It is true that Salt River valley is in the bloom of cultivation, while the valleys of Yuma county are only in the blossom, but through the influence of capital and industry already applied the blossom will soon expand into a rose that will attract the world. Virtually We only began to try and cultivate our years ago. Let it be understood hat Yuma county has no interests to by detracting in any way rom the wonderful resources of Iaricopa county, and there is no such intention. On the contrary, the of both sections are identical. nd they should move hand in hand in very effort looking to mutual and increase of property. Only Maricopa can produce larger pump in than Yuma, it will only have an ncentively good effect to publish it, nd Yuma has as just right to brag her oranges, lemons, lines and ananas. {

THERE has been much complaint lately about the irregularity with which mail matter is received here. The fault is not with the postal clerks, but, is caused by the small force employed in the railway mail service. Owing to the late wash outs several carloads of delayed mails have accumulated and it is being handled as quickly as pos sibly by the few and overworked postal clerks on the Southern Pacific road.
