Akers accompanies him with money and surplus of that com modity commonly referred to as nerve. While Mir. Aitken is the fleet one of the pair, MT. Akers also has blood in his eye, backed likewise with 8 little grudge against several Phenicians, and is willing to settle old scores by having any bicycle bag In town who weighs not less than he does-200 pounds-race from five to ten miles for any sum from five up. Mir. Akers en- joys the distinction in Prescott of being the cleverest trick rider on bicycle there, and considering his weight has that agility which permits of the per fornance of such feats in a graceful way, as riding down a steep hill with his head on the saddle and his feet on the handle bars, besides performing other feats that rank him high in the prof sssion of bicycling.

ALL ABOUT MEAT.

Some Phoenix Ladies Who Know
 Every Cut In the Critter.
 A good looking young fellow was cut ting steaks yesterday afternoon in one of the leading butcher shops when 8 REPUBLICAN man noticed that while they resembled closely good slrloin steaks there was something suspicion s about them.
 What kind of steak is that?" he asked.
 "Oh. that's shoulder steak or chuck steak, the cheapest kind of steak. We sell it mostly to Mexicans."
 The inquirer being one of the restless and migratory army of restaurant and boarding house patrons thinking this was good opportunity to gain g little inside information regarding the nature of the viands which are daily set before him. remarked casually:
 II suppose you sell good deal of it to the restaurants"
 ''No, sir; the restaurants buy whole rounds and Joins and cut them up themselves. We sell few of these to the lunch counters, where they have a class of trade that isn't very particu- lar."
 Don't the lunch counters buy any good meat?"
 They buy some of the very best. You see in the lunch counters it's just the same as it is with us they size up the customer Some of lem will stand tough steak and some would never show up again if they got one of these fellows. Now in the last place I worked, the wife of man connected with one of the banks used to come in three or four times week and always called for very small porterhorse steak, not to cost over 15 or 20 cents. The first couple of times we gave her the small est porterhouse we had. but there was no profit in it and nine times out of ten after that we'd just cut small piece a little larger than your hand out of one of these chuck steaks from along side the bone and we never had single kick on it.
 "Then there was another woman who used to come In regular and talk about meat until you couldn' t rest. She's the wife of one of the leading lawyers here and said she knew every cut in the animal. l took considerable stock in her at first aud always gave her the very finest, but one day she said there were but two cuts in the loin that she could ever use and described how near the shoulder they were. She was about four feet out of the way. The other feller and I could hardly keep our faces straight until she got out of the shop. She was a great snap after that. I tell you the ones that say they know all about meat and think they do, too, are just .he ones who don't know thing"

Two of Them En Route to Phoenix
 From Prescott.
 A letter received at this office yester- day from Prescott states that c. H. Akers and J. M. Aitken. two prominent members of Prescott Lodge No. 1, Knights of Pythias. will leave that city on Friday afternoon to attend the an- nual meeting of the grand lodge of that order, as delegates, which will be held in Phoenix next Monday. These young men have adopted the novel idea of making the trip on bicycles and have chosen the Black Canyon stage road. They intend to made the trip in less than three days, or arrive in the city during the forenoon of Sunday, their last ride being made from New River station, twenty eight miles from Phe- nix, which point they intend leaving at daylight on Sunday morning. The route these young men have selected is 8 familiar one to many Phenicians who have made the tedious stage trip over it, being a heavy road at any season of the year from the long mountain chains which intersect it.
 While these young Prescottites come as representatives of their secret order and expect to take part in the de- Alterations of the same, one of them, Charley Akers. is equipped with 8 big fat sack, which he is willing to drop in

A cnild, with face all sunny bright,
Stands knee deep in the tangled grass.
He sees wondrous thing of light
And grace and wavering motion pass.
An instant--then the baby hands
Reach for the dazzling golden wings.
So near they fly that, where he stands,
He grasps the dainty, fiuttering things.
With fingers close upon his prize,
Lest it should still escape his hold,
Straight to his mother then he flies
To show the lovely wings of gold.
Alas, for all his childish trustl
Alas, that bitter tears should fall
Within his palm some golden dust
A bit of crumpled gauze-is all.
Poor little butterfly, thy fate
Isone with hopes of larger size!

And fame and honor thus should fall
