WHY THEY BARK.
A Good Story from Hardy Illus.
 trated by Local Application.


 to repeat l,lle hisiory1 In an carly day in Arizona, when Arizona had no railroads, had business 10 San Fran cisco. The Southern Pacific railroad was completed to a poin, opposite Visa Ina, in California. To reacs that point saddled my favoute horse and started across the desert in a nouhwesterly dl rection regardless of road or traIl. l reached Vislia safe in SIX days and took the cars tor San Francisco. On re- turning found my horse in inc tix and determined to make as many miles per day as po'sible on my way home. l left l Vlsalia at Ia M and rode unti near night when a storm came oa and l sought shelter with rancher. As l rode up to the house the rancher made some excuse about living, 'but, sad he, "fhere is plenty of hay ard grain for your horse.@ That settled matters, for I could live where others lised il my horse could fare we'll, and rested con- tent. As removed my saddle from my horse the lady of the house rode up. She had been out calling on a neighbor- 1 ing woman. Soon alter gong into her house she returne to the doo' and eill- ing her boy John saio: John, what have you been doing1 l though. you had gone over to your Uncle Ike's or l would not have left the house
 A, these remarks the boy, lad of about Is yeas, began regular bark, like dog-bow, WOW, WOW; hoT WOW WOW. Sud the lady agaln: 'You wcrt no, satisfied with having your own way, but you got To, Pete anu Al to help Y u and you have got away with my pies, cakes and preserves, and ransacked the house and destroyed cr stolen every thing in reach. You have broken all tue locks in the house ard everything is confus on. What shall l do with you1' At this the rancher cameup and pick- ing up whip started for the boy, when he curled up and whined like whipped puppy. l lookad on with smasement and surprise. Rain commenced falling and led my horse into the corral near by The rancher followed me. AS we go, out by ourselves l enquired: "Whal a,ls that boy. He acts slIangea
 Said the rarcher: "It is not the boys fault nor his moSher's nor mine, but Il was a sad calamity" continued the rancher. "A shorl lime before the boy was born his mother was out riding and a barking cur frightened her horse and II ran away and frightened his mother The dog followed her home and still kept yelping and barking. l got whip and went after the dog, when he made the same noise y,u he ,rd the boy make as drew the whip on him. The hoy looks Ike a human icing, but ne has a dogs disposition. He IS always in sasue thieving tricks. When cor, ec.ed by me or his mother he barks and whincs ike a miserable cur. We have to watch him very close He makes US agrest dea of trouble and We get al ,ng with him tho oes, we can. IL do-s no good to whip him."
 Can the editor of the Republican or anyone else exp'aln the reason why there should be several demoorait editors i0 Arizona that have he,n SO un. fortunate1 They are to be piried, not punished; they are no, to blame 10 their mama for barking If they O, their party are accused of stealing CT getting of wrong they viii bark for al | answer. One democratic edit r when his party was accused of doing wrang | said for an answer and excuse: "Old Hardy once sold tobacco for & pe pound and cook stoves for Saoo each. Bow, WOW, WOW; bow, WOW, WOW, Old 1, Ha dy IS an old fool.' Other democratic l eoi,nrs break out in similar strains. "Oll Hardy should be sent to the asy- urn Hardy IS sn old blstherskii,; fool, and al sort of names a,e oaled, virtually amounting to bow, WON, WOW. These fellows should be pnied. l. wss not iher faulr; It was a sad ca amiiy that beiel their mothers. Some of ih,s editors have the park of a yellow "pirk, but there Is DO harm in them. Some democrats may look upon these ba,ks and yelps as an answer to charges mace against the leaders of then party, but otbe s agree that it IS merely yelp whine. They canrot be called monde script, but dogs iu human form. Watch their sheets as they appear few days hence. Judge for yourself. Read their editorisls and form your own conclusion 1 of the CUTS. WM.
