A Sure Way of Killing Owls.

Frost Bunker, of the Dead river re-
gion, is a guide who, it is said, is a sue
ceSsful rival to James a. Smith, of Phil
lips-a Rangely g1ride-in story telling.
Frost is intimately acquainted with
John Smith" who is well known in all
parts of the country. He says he was
with John on a hunting trip once on a
time, when they came upon a man who
had fred at an owl (perched in a big
tree) about dozen times without sue
cess. As they approached the stranger
offered John five dollar bill if he would
secure the owl. John cooked his rife
and walked around the tree.
The owl turned his head in the same
direction as far as John walked. John
kept on going around the tree. the owl
turning his head all the while Just as
John completed the tenth circuit the
owls head was twisted off and he fell TO
the ground dead. John said small owls
couldn't be killed that way because their
feet would fly up in turning.-Pmllips

three thousand pounds upon a revival,
and this was considered marvellous in
those days. Messrs. Irving and Wilson
Barrett have more than doubled such
sums Again. salaries were incompsra-

who played second to kean, received
Only three pounds ten shiIlings week

about equal position was in the receipt
of eight pounds, he threatened 10 break
his engagement unless kis salary was az

The Rose of SHARON Nct a Rose,

The anemone coronaria commonly
grows wild about Smyrna and in Asia
Minor, spreading far and wide as the
most beautiful of spring blossoms, grow
ing ON chalk soil along the edges of
shrubbery. We cannot wonder that it
was already in ancient times a favorite
of the inhabitants and excited in poetic
minds sensations such as can only be ex-
cited by surprising beauty. 81 am the
rose of Sharon and the lily of the val
legs" sings the first verse of the second
chapter of Solomon's song, and there can
be no doubt today what is here meant by
the rose Of Sharon.
1t was an American, Fiske P. Brewer.
who decided this question, Narcissus
Tazetta, which likewise grows in Pales-
tine, having previously been considered
the Biblical flower. This gentleman, &C
cording TO the Edinburgh Review of
1886, while travelling in the year 1859
from Jatfa to Ranleh, came upon place
where considerable expanse Of ground
was half covered with brilliant red
flowers. AT the sight of them some Of
his native companions Immediately ex-
claimed, Roses of Sharon" and when
he inquired about the name he was told
that the anemone was there universally
SO called.
In truth it would not be easy other
wise to speak of a rose in Palestine. for
native roses do not exist there-at least
not where they would justify the aSsoci-
alton of the plain of Sharon with their
name. Wild roses are found in Pales-
tine only on Lebanon. or where. here
and there. r. centifolia is cultivated for
the production of altar, as in the Wadi-
el-Werd (ROSe-valiey), near Hebron.
According to Ebers and Guthe, in their

THE ARIZONA KICKER.

Only the Hustler Can Succeed in the
West.
| We extract the following from the last
issue of the Arizona Kicker:
In TOWN.-We received call yesterday
from Major Jim Porter, of Deep Cut. who
owns the biggest mule ranch in all Ari-
IONA, and who will probably be our next
governor The history of the major is that
of other hustling, energetic men. Failing
as lawyer in Chicago he came west, killed
man at Cheyenne, bought an old mining
claim in Nevada, shot another man in
Idaho, ran for sheriff in Colorado, killed a
man at Tombstone, and finally settled down
on ranch at Deep Cut to enjoy the fruit
of his labors and take things easy. His
case is one which the youths of our coun-
try would do we'll TO emulate.
A NEW ENTERPRIsE--The Kicker is
proud to announce in its present issue that
Colonel Gilders, the interchangeable and emf
nent president Of the Great Western Faro
exchange, will begin the erection of a hand
some block of stores about April l, 1891.
This news is exclusive with The Kicker,
as all important local news is.
Colonel Gilders came TO this town so
poor that he had 20 borrow a sandbank to
sleep on. His qualities were first brought
TO public attention when he broke the post
masters jaw. He next killed a cowboy
over on SCOTS Run, followed it up by
planting Mccoy, the halfbreed. in good
shape, and in year had won high place
in the esteem of his fellow townsmen.
Nothing succeeds like success and nothing
brings success so rapidly as hustiing.

way of trimming hat; and vet, upon an

Seaside clothing while not more expen-
sive than any other dress material, re-
quires little more attention, because the
sea mists are so destructive to the welfare
of feathers and laces, that one may look
very shabby and badly dressed, even with
a really elegant summer outfit, if one has
not taken the precaution to choose the out
fit with special reference to seashore eli

slightly because the wearer evidently has

The waist of the gown is cut blazer fash

This china silk front is hooked in under

of pale yellow silk braid extend around
the cuffs, down the lapels on the front of
the REFER and on the coat-tails. The back
of the jacket is laid in close fine pleats.
With this costume is worn a yellow
straw hat, sailor shaped, caught up at the

White suede gloves, white suede shoes. a
