self. he will discover an agricultural editor
dead to the call of mercy. He will open the
door to find that shotgun looking into his
left eye.
About two months since Mrs. General
Caruthers of Apache Heights gave swell
birthday party. She had been introduced
to us. While we are no hand at scraping
and bowling and paying fine compliments,
as is true of most agricultural editors de-
voted to their profession, Mrs. Caruthers
knew us to be respectable and worthy of
an invitation. She not only gave us the
cold cut, but we overheard her observe that
it would embarrass her very much to have
a person at her banquet board pull pillow
case from his pocket to wi pc his mouth on.
We bowed our head and received the cruel
blow in silence. 1t Jared Us from top to
bottom, and we have not felt well since,
but the big wheel has also turned for Mrs.
Caruthers. We now beg to announce the
fact that for several years previous to her
entree into high society in this town she
sang sad songs and passed around a poor
brand of lager beer in a concert hall in a
town on the banks of the historic Missis-
sippi river. Her husband, who has also
taken occasion to snub US three or four
times a week for the last two months, is a
gambler, confidence man and all around
swindler, and we don't know grass seed
from grizzly bears if he doesn't find it
good thing to make change of climate in
less than fortnight
A continuation of this list will be found
on our fourth page, and we surmise that it
will prove interesting reading. When the
editor and proprietor returns, he won't do
any shooting-not at us. He will find our
resignation lying on the editorial table, but
we shall be far away. We are an agricul-
tural editor who knows his business.

tapioca pudding, because we are going to
have it today" Well, of course, you know,
not supposing there was any joke about it,
/ said yes and, WELL l rather dilated upon
the fact, wishing to make her thoroughly

ordeal ahead of me. l noticed that the

didn't dream it was a joke.
Mrs. Twickenham-Then it was joker
Castleton-Oh, yes; decidedly so. You
see, there was no tapioca pudding, and it
was all put up job. You can imagine my
feelings and the embarrassing position
was in after trying to be SO polite by lying
out of it.

A room is ventilated best by opening the

Silver should not be put in wooden bags,

Never oil the cake tins with your fingers

A useful article with which to scale fish

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.
It was in the early summer when my love and
first parted.
She the seaside sought and left mo in she city
broken hearted
to swelter through the summer, she on sea
kissed shore to wander,
But her last words gave comfort-"Absence
makes the heart grow fonder."
How loved the little letters that from time
to time she sent me!
AS read it seemed that they momentary
breeze lent me-
While she wrote of picnics, bathing, yachting
trips, then babe me ponder
Well the truth of that old saying, Absence
makes the heart grow fonder."
Oft she spoke of her admirers, how she made
them dance attendance.
Fewer still were now her letters, and she wrote,
I'm very busy"
| Notwithstanding my maynard,
witching Lizzie
Once moro came the same old answer-any
other seemed beyond her
Don't you know, you stupid Willie, Absence
makes the heart grow fonder?'"
One more letter yet she sent me while she at
the seaside tarried,
Laughing at our mild fiirtation," telling me
that she was married,
And twas thus her note concluded-as l read
my face grew yellow
"'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'-
fonder of the other fellow"

THE ARIZONA KICKER.


Few Old Scores Paid OF by the AGricul-
tural Editor.
This article is not written by the editor,
publisher and proprietor of THE KICKER,
who is also mayor, territorial senator and a
candidate for the postmastership, but by
his agricultural editor, whose salary is 81
per week and whose duties mainly consist
Of writing up biographies of the cactus and
hunting for a new breed of mule grass. The
proprietor left for Tombstone the other day
to meet an editor who had challenged him
to a game of draw poker-best three out of
fve-$50 ante and no limit to the game.
Our chief will return home with his hat on
his ear and his mule on dead run--a con-
quering hero We know it, because he took
along six packs Of marked cards, and be-
cause he can do more bluffinG on pair Of
deuces than any man in Arizona on three
aces. He will not only return with all the
cash the Tombstone editor can rake and
scrape, but with valid mortgage for at
least 81 900 on the newspaper outfit.
Having been left in charge of TIE KICKER

we desire to pay our respects to Colonel
Saunderson, whom the people of this town
were idiotic enough to make city clerk. He
was never elected colonel of anything ex-
cept a demijohn. We don't know what
state prison he halls from, but we feel NOR
ally certain that he had from three to five
years more to serve when he escaped. On
various occasions he has visited the editori-
al rooms of this Office and given us the cold
cut, and we now take pleasure in denounc-
ing him as a snob, cad and a conceited
idiot Should he want anything of US before
the editor returns. he will find us in the
main sanctuIn, our heels on the desk and
double barreled shotgun leaning against
the wall within reach of our right hand.
Next on the list comes the fat and fussy
Judge Gildersleve, whose object in coming
to this locality was doubtless to lose his
identity. We don't know whether he stole
horse or cow or ran away from his fam
lily, but he looks like a man who'd commit
all three offenses and rob a blind man to
boot. If we can get the members of the
vigilance committee together this week, we
shall advise that the judge receive official
notice to skip. When he sat in this Office
one day last week and obsCved in our hear
ing and for our benefit that an agricultural
editor who couldn't command a salary Of
over 81 per week was poor guano for mule
grass, he forgot that the wheel Of time turns
slowly round, but turns just the same.

tus. Alderman Williams, as we have his

lars TO cents that he is arrested and taken
