THE ARIZONA "KICKER."

Poor SHOOTING.-As we were COM
ing across the sand lots the other
evening, after spending a couple of
very agreeable hours at the adobe
residence of the Widow Jackson, some
wouldbe assassin who was in hiding
fired six bullets at US from a revolver.
We think it was Tom Bigelow. We
think SO because Tom has shot at
everybody In this town and never hit
any one. He didn't hit US. Being
armed only with bowie knife, we lit
out as soon as the shooting begun, and
the last bullet went 10 feet above our
head.
We did think of hunting Tom up
Yesterday and splitting his ear with
bullet as great moral lesson; but on
second thought we concluded not to
waste the time. He'll keep on blazing
away around this town until somebody
gets vexed at the noise and then he'll
suddenly go hence. We don't want
his funeral expenses on our hands.
HE'S A SUBsCRIBER.-Last week, as
noticed by our contemporary in a
double loaded article with three scare
heads on it, Jim Renshaw, who owns
the cactus ranch out on the Tucson
road, refused to take his copy of the
Kicker out of the postofice. Jim
not only owed us $3.50 on subscription,
but refused his paper tc hurt our teel-
ings. He's been sore on US ever since
We refused to lend him our white shirt
the only one in town-to go on a
drunk in.
We want to show an accommodating
spirit toward all, and we have the name
of beng good fellow, but we want to
say right here and now that we believe
common wool shirt is plenty good
enough for any man IN this town to
get drunk IN.
If it isn't he d better stay sober.
When we saw Jm's little game we
mounted our mule and rode over to
interview him. He was expecting US.
One bullet went through our hat and
another raked orr mule, but after that
Jim lay down and we dug the bullet
out of his shoulder and helped him
into his dugout. He not only paid
US all arrears in spot cash, lat dollar
on advance subscription, and as soon
as able to move about he will personally
canvass for subscribers.
We SHALL GET THERE.-Last
Friday evening we were nominated for
mayor on the Democratic ticket by
acclamation. and this is equivalent to
an election. We don't deny that we
sought the nomination. We haye had
our eye on it for year past. We
shall also do our level best to snow our
opponent under. We have been
moved to this course by a desire to
see the town we'll governed and because
we believe the mayor should be the
representative man of the town. We
are that man. There's no use in fill
ing and backing and talking abb
modesty and self conceit and all t
We lead this town. We know

A GIRLS NECK.
lie service

Very few women know how impor-
tant the nape of the neck is. If there
is one pon of the body that the
average girl neglects ard the wise
beauty cares for it is this spot.
Why, there is nothing, said gor-
geous example of the sex, that finally
completes beautiful womal'S triumph
as does the nape of the neck. If the
line is graceful, if the skin is pure and
the small accidental rings of hair that
fall there are artlstically managed, the
spell that this part of woman exerts
over a man is tremendous. | must say
that few women have good napes. A
girl who always wears her dresses cut
high to her hair will usually be dark
and unattractive there.
There's nothing like the air to purify
the skin, and the more a girl lets her
neck catch the breezes the fairer it
will get. To be white 1t must be kept
free OF woolens and the hair. Once
gwen good skin the rest is easy. OF
course the neck shows to the best ad-
vantage when the hair IS brushed up
and away from it, but there should be
some tiny little stray thistledowns OF
hair falling away from the rest.
They must be natural, mind, or at
least just separated and curled with the
fingers. Oh, the horror of the girl that
has curled that part OF her hair with an
iron, and, oh, the crime of girl who
has made a bang there. If the hair is
skillfuily managed and the skin white
then the only thing desired is good
line. A woman whopresses her chin down
and holds her held stif1ly cannot have a
good line at the neck. The chin must
be raised little and the head carried
somewhat up and pushed forward.
This gives a perfect angle from just
between the shoulders to the hair, and
when it looks as have seen it you
would rather press kiss there than or
the sweetest par of lips that ever hell
themselves up to the attack. w. /

The First Worlds Fair.

A man of forty.five is not so very
aged, yet worlds fairs have become SO
common that some people suppose the
first one must date a long way back.
But man now forty-fiye was born be-
fore worlds fair had ever been held.
The first one WAS opened May 1st, 1851,
in the Crystal Palace, ut London, by
Prince Albert, the consort of Queen
Victoria. That was the first time that
the nations of the world had mel for
competition in the arts of peace. Then
these great exhibitions followed each
other at intervals of u few years. The
two Paris eNpositions, that 1T Vienna,
the Centennial of our own country, and
soon will come the largest of all. the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
There is no need to urge any one to go
everybody is thinking of it, but we
will remark that wherever you live, in
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota,

Juvenile Purchaser.

One of the most striking features in the
poorer regions of the city is the early age
at which children are made useful in the
household. In my rambles about town
have seen children-puny, understood
children too-of four and five years Of
age carrying milk, meat, groceries, etc.,
having just performed that part of the
family marketing. Step into any of the
Seventh avenue butcher shops, bakeries
or groceries and you will almost invari-
ably see children of from four to eight
years old purchasing family supplies.
l have seen children whose eyes were
still on level with the butchers chop
ping block buying five cents worth of
odds and ends of meat for the family
stew, and paying for it in pennies care
fully counted out into the butchers big
brown hands-pennies hard earned, no
doubt. One time the child couldn't talk
distinctly enough for the man to under
stand.
"How much money have you got?' he
asked.
The little thinly clad tot opened a
chubby and very dirty fist and displayed
four cents. Whereupon the butcher, his
diamond pin sparkling in the rays Of his
bright cleaver, scooped in the pennies
and chopped him Tor her of fragment
Of bones and gristle and threw in q
chunk of fat,

comment. ''These children commence
running errands as soon as they can
walk. At six and seven the girls do the

boys sell papers and play craps. Por-

Wool and Rags on the
Free List-Ma1asAGac
Iz1.ed WOolcn& 5D
DeI. I.ccnt. Tariff.

Speech of Hon. Martin N. Johnson, of
North Dakota, in the House of Re
representatives., Wednesday, April 6,
1892:
Mr.. JOHNSON of North Dakota,
said.
Mr.. CHA1RMAN: We have heard
anuch talk here to the effect that putting
WOO upon the free list will not lower
the price of wool. That talk is evident
sy intended for home consumption
among the wool-growcrs Of the interior
districts. 1t will deceive nobody in my
distrlct; and will tell you why. live
within 20 miles of the line between our
country and British America. For $50
s,1iles, between the district l represent
and the province of Manitoba there is
only an imaginary line indicated by
iron monuments at every mile. There
as the same prairie country, the same
climate, the same kind of people, and
the same kind OF sheep on both sides OF
that line.
Now, last year we sold our wool on
the south side of that line for from
to II cents a pound more than they did
>on the north side Of that line. You
-need not tell the farmers of North Da-
'kota that the tariff did not make that
difference. There is no mountain OF
ocean or other physical obstacle be-
-Sween us, not even wire fence
nothing but that imaginary line marked
sby those iron monument.
have statements here from ou1
consul at Hamilton, in Canada, written
"a month ago, showing that the same
condition of things prevails there on
the line between the province of On.
aario and the state of New York as
with us on the line between Manatobs
and North Dakota. He says that the
wool that the Canadians raised last
year sold at Hamilton for from 1S4 to
90 cents, and was shipped across the
aine and sold on our side, duty and
freight paid, at SO cents, II cents being
the tariff, and the 2 to 81 cents covering
the costs Of freight, commission, and
. other incidental charges. [Applause on
the republican side.l The extract re.
-ferred to is as follows.
UNITED STATES CONSULATE, Hamilton, Cana.
Wool has held its own fairly well notwith-
standing the increase in the duty; the de-
crease in exports is but nominal. The clip
aaSt year was up to the average, and the
movement in the last few months shows some
demand for Canadian wool, which sellsi in this
market from 1917 to 20 cents. and is sold, duty
Sand freight paid, in American markets for 3}
scents, which leaves very narrow margin for
Canadian dealers.
The renewal Of the tariff will cqualize
these prices; no doubt about that. You
will either level up or level down. You
need not tell US, however, that the ef-
feet would be to level up the Canadian
wool, for that would necessarily imply
carrying all the Australian. African,
and South American wool also up to
our prices.
There could be but one result of such
an experiment. By passing this bill you
remove the only barrier that exists to-
day between the wool-growers of our
country and the cheap pastures, the
cheap labor, and the cheap civilization
of the countries just nsmed.
