early days of July he will put a large
drugstore stock into it. His fixtures will

aging thing he discovers is the healthi-

for those remaining. 1t would be an
equitable distribution, too, as it would
fall alike upon the rich and the poor,
male and female, young and old. It
would be much more humane than war;
as we could die at home surrounded by
our loved. instead of the bloody field of
battle. amid the roar of cannon and
musketry and surrounded by strangers.

For more than thirty years ALLCooR's
Porous PLAsTERs have been doing their
beneticent work, relieving pain, inspir
ing men, women and children with new
hope and new courage.
Pain is a great discourager When all
the muscles are sore, it is hard to keep
up hope. ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs
and pain have no affinity for each other.
one or the other must yield, and pain is
the one to be defeated.
Placed high up between the shoulder
blades and on the chest they are a sure
cure for coughs; the pit of the stom

muscles they relieve strains and stiffness.
Wherever there is soreness, they soothe
and cure.

all around the circle before he discovered that it wasn't loaded. It was the same to us, however, as he couldn't do anybody any damage except with pitchfork. We rolled him through a mud puddle and headed him for home, where he sat down and wrote dispatch to a Chicago paper to the effect that we had made our sev- enth attempt to assassinate him.
 Friday forenoon we missed our office dictionary, and upon making inquiry learned that it had been taken away by the county clerk. We went Syer to his of flee to get 1t back, and some hard words were exchanged. He punched our left eye, and we chewed his right ear. Later on he apologized for his conduct and bought a beefsteak for our optic, while we sent onr own surgeon to fix up his ear.
 Saturday opened auspiciously-that is a man named Glover, who lives over near Blue Hen creek, called at TIE KICKER office to shoot us for publishing an article to the effect that he had been hanged for horse stealing. As we didn't happen to be in, our agricultural editor disarmed and booted him outdoors. Just before noon four cowb boys rode into town and began to paint things red, and while we were as sisting the city marshal to discourage
 
 another grazed our arm. We had scarcely finished the monday meal when we were served with notice of q libel suit, with damages at S20, ,0O0. and we wended our way to the office of Lawyer Henderson to demand further particulars. He received us in a naughty spirit and reached for his gun. We reached for him. It was mixed up affair for about 10 minutes, but when we finally got on top Mir. Henderson was perfectly willing to explain matters. Not only that, but he expressed his desire to discourage his client from going any fur ther in the case, and we let him up and took a drink with him. Saturday evening old John S1mcOe, who used to run this part of the country, objected to our wear ing a red necktie on q moonlight night and started to shoot it off our neck. In the row we lost consderabl whiskers and had two teeth knocked out, but there ia no question about our coming out ahead. People who have an idea that an Arizona editor has nothing to do but sit on hair cloth sofa in boudoir and dictate to con gress how the affairs of the nation shall , be managed have got a wrong conception of the situation.

haps know, de grocer leaves his bar'l ot kerosene outdoahs. When Brudder John son reached de bar'l, he was purvided wid a gimlet an funnel. If de bar1 had bin tapped, it was all right; if it hadn't bin, he use de gimlet, an in de co se of few minits transferred two gallons of ile from de bar'l to de can. Den he plugged up de hole an walked softly home an made all de dark co'ners of his ole cabin as light as day. De nayburs used to wonder at his extravaganza, an de grocers used to do some powerful kickin agin short measure to de marchents of Cincinnati.
 IA few nights ago Brudder Johnson rig up from his bed at de usual hour. His kerosene can was empty an mus be filed He left his wife an chill'en sound asleep an kissed 'em goodby. As he skated soft ly frew de darkness he invented two other methods-one to git his vinegar an de od- der to git his 'lasses in de same way as he did his kerosene. He knowed 'zactly whar he was gwine to, an in due time he got dar wid boaf feet to once. A fresh bar1 of kerosene sot by de back doah of Misser Stebbins' grocery, an as de bells struck de solemn hour O midnight Brudder John son might hev bin seen fussin wid dat bar'l In fact, he was seen. Misser Steb- bins had got on to his method in some way an hid hisself in nearby shed. Mis- ser Stebbins had a shotgun wid him an was wide awake. Bout de time Brudder Johnson begun to bore wid his gimlet Mis- ser Stebbins begun to shoot wid his shot gun, an it am needless fur me to add dat de places which once knowed our fellow member now know him no mo- He was shot wid a handful O birdshot, an when Misser Stebbins got to him his soul had winged it's flight to odder lands.
 My fren's, in de midst of life we am in death De torpedo chicken an de shotgun warn us dat we know not what a night may bring fo'th. We will set aside page in memory of de deceased, but we won't pass any pertickler resolushuns on de sub jec'. De widow ob our late brudder has written to ask us fur de sum of $25 with which to buy gravestun. While we sym pathize wid her in her great bereavement we can't forward de money. It's agin our constitushun. De secretary will advise her to erect headbo'd an paint on it, "He sleeps we'll, an let matters stop right dar. Perhaps Misser Stebbins hisself would be willin to furnish de bod, being as he will save at least two bar'ls of ker- osene year from now on. We will now put out de fiah in de stove an go home"

He was about to reply when he ob- served that she was gazing mp the road with an air of annoyance and embar- rassment. Following her glance, he saw Ralph Monckton approaching on horseback at an easy canter, looking wonderfully fresh and cool in his ele- gant riding suit.
 In an instant the mans whole being seemed to undergo a malignant trans formation. The softened expression passed from his features like a mask that has been snatched away, and the eyes in which the tears had stood a mo- ment before glittered like those of a wild beast.
 "Tell him. ." he muttered, pointing at Monckton with shaking finger, what has just passed between us two. He will see the humor of it. Tell him, too" he added sternly, that there are healthier climates than Monckton mines for such as he. And without waiting for reply he turned roughly away just as Ralph Monckton drew rein op- posite the agitated girl.

The men Sco1rlCd or SnCCrCd in his f0cc. ly warped and suppressed? At times a word. look, had startled her with the surprise of discovery, to be followed by some drawling sheer or vapid jest. On the whole, if she had been asked her opinion of Ralph MoncktOn, she would have answered that she despised him. But, as she discovered, at some period of his life he had read much and thought deeply; he had travelled exten- sively and observed acutely, and when, at rare intervals, he consented to talk he talked well and interestingly. He piqued her curiosity; he was perplex- ing problem, which accounts for the fact, no doubt, that she came to expect his afternoon visits and to feel irritated if by chance he failed to present himself.
 During the first few days the great strike at the Monckton mines pro- gressed without incident. The men maintained a resolute but orderly de- meanor, and even the detested Joyce was allowed to go and come without molestation. But as their scanty sav- ings began to give out, and want, the inevitable accompaniment of such struggle, showed its grim visage in their poor homes, the first symptoms of serious trouble manifested themselves in petty depredatiOns on the property of the owner. One night the grounds of the Monckton mansion were invaded and the flower beds trampled into ruin. On another a valuable young orchard was destroyed. Fences were thrown | down, cattle turned loose, and a hun dred such outrages were perpetrated, trivial in themselves, but indicating the growth of a spirit of dangerous law | lessness.
 Joyce fumed, investigated and threat ened dire Xengance without avail. The men scowled or sneered in his face, and even yentured on one occasion, while | he was haranguing a party in the viii lage tavern, to hustle him, not without damage to his clothing. His angry complaints to his employer elicited only unsympathetic requests not to trouble him with matters strictly within his own province.
 But, sir,' insisted the overseer in great indignation, they have destroyed your property. The garden, the or chard''--
 Hang the garden and the orchard! Have them repaired and set a watch over them. Let out the dogs. Do what ever you like. Why the deuce do you bother me with these things2"
 And the unhappy Joyce was con- | pelled to retire in discontinue. CHAPTER VIII. AN OMEN OF DANGER.

He Got Something.

About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, as sat smoking on the hotel veranda, an old negro man, with the inevitable umbrella in his hand came along, shaking his head and muttering to himself. When he look ed up and saw me, he halted and eXclaim ed:
 "Boss, dar's gwine ter be awful change in dis town befo' many days-a mos awful change, sah!'
 "HOw do you mean?" l asked.
 "In dat possofs nber dar. Yes, sah gwine to be de terriblest change yo' ebcl heard of!''
 "What's the matter with the postof fce?'
 "Heaps, sah. I dun can't git muffin when I go dar Bin dar 10 tirhrs today but de possmaster he keeps right on sayin muffin fur me. Got to bea powerful change over dar, sah."
 But if there isn't anything for you the postmaster is not to blame"
 "No, sah but I'ze suah dar's sunthin fur me. Of co'se dar am. Whats de possoffis fur? I'ze jes' gwine to raise a powerful row about it. "I'd try once more before raising q row Perhaps you have been too humble about it. If you insist there's something there for you, you Il probably get it.' "Jes' go right in an talk loud an say I'ze gwine to stay all night if l dOan' git sunthin:" he queried.
 "Yes v
 'I'll do it! I'll jes' walk up to dat win der an tell de possmaster 1 won't leave it till l gifts sunthin. Good eavenin, sah. Much obleeged fur yo'r advice.'
 He returned up the street, and waited the result with considerable curiosity. Twenty minutes passed, and then heard great chatter on the sidewalk. My friend was coming back on the jump, .4at ill one hand and mbrella in the other, and close ? behind him was short, thickset man of his color who was employed as janitor at the postotfice. The short man seemed to be playing football and to be enjoying the game far more than the other. In d few seconds they were up to me. The man who was going to raise a row at the post office didn't pause in his gallop, but he looked up at me, waved his umbrella anc shouted as he flew past "White man, knowed dar was sunthin in dat possoffis fur me, an now Tze dun got it at last!'

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
An Interesting Week Is Described by the
 Editor.

An Interesting Week Is Described by the
 Editor.
 A BUSY WEEK.-While there is always plenty of amusement to occupy the time of an Arizona editor. last week par ticularly busy one for us. As we reached the office Monday morning we were hand ed note from Mir. Horace Yates, man. ager of the Great Arizona Irrigation com pany, in which he called us a liar for some remarks made on the editorial page the week before. We at once mounted our cayuse and rode out to the office of the company and asked for an interview with MT. Yates. He was surprised at our prompt response. He had lived most of his days in the east, where you can call an editor liar every day in the week without bringing response. When we put the muzzle of gun to his right eye and asked him to look down the barrel and discover Ananias, he failed to find that celebrated character and made the most ample apologies. We took his sub scription to TIE KICKER for the year 1894 and rode away, leaving him with fara- way look in his eyes.
 Tuesday afternoon old Jim Wheeler made a bet of $3 with some of the boys at the Red Front saloon that he could scare us out of our sanctum. We had just seat ed ourself at the editorial desk when he kicked the door open, uttered yell that would have clipped the ears of a bulldog and opened fire on the clock, the plaster bust of Romeo and whatever else seemed to be a likely target. MT. Wheeler ought to have known better. The doctor has succeeded ill getting the bullet out of his hip, but it will be long weeks before h~ can walk, and then he will have to swing his right leg in half circle to the end Of his days. No; Mr. Wheeler will never chase the bounding antelope again, and aa he has no wings to fly with he feels badly cut up about it.
 Wednesday morning a copy of THE KICK FER, addressed to Colonel Joe King at White Horse Ranch, returned to us marked, "Refused-go to grassn' We slipped 30 extra cartridges into our pock ct and galloped out there Any subscriber to THE KICKER can stop his paper at any time, but we insist a personal inter- view and a reasonable explanation. The colonel was expecting us. We found him in a rifle pit in front of his house, and the way he fuslladed lis beat ordinary Fourth of July.

With the opening of the Spring Season We would call attention to one of the finest selections of Imported and Domestic WooIens ever placed be, fore the public.
 Determined to merit a continuance of the pat, ~onaoe so literally bestoW, ed on Us in the past, We shall continue to lead in the making of Garments in Excellence of Quality, and Moderation of Price.
 For instance, our 2O44t is a fine Clay Diagonal in deep black or blue black, of which We will make Suits toorderin the most approved style and perfect workmanship for $25.
 Our 2O38 and 2O29 are respectively a fine i'm. ported Yale Diagonal and Birds Eye Worsted, of which We shall make up suits in same manner, and for the same price.
 Our 2187, 2177, 2O89 2OoO, and a great many others, are strictly all Wool black idbits, ChcV, ot or fancy Cassin0e-es of which we'll make up Suits To order from SIS to $2O.
 Realizing that We have just passed through a serious business depres- sion, and that it would therefore be inconsistent for some of our patrons to pay for a suit of Clothes all at one time, we will in the future, as in the past Deliver Garments on small weekly payments.
 E> By request of great many of our patrons we have arranged for a department where we will do Repairing, Cleaning and Pressing of Garments at the Lowest Prices and at the shortest notice.

 They are human beings, as we are, :" returned the girl seriously, with the same capacity for suffering and happi- ness that We have, though in our deal ings with them we ignore or forget the fact There is not more faithful, honest set of men in the world than these miners are, and none that receives worse treatment Helpless in their ignorance and poverty, they are ground to the very earth by their heartless mas ters. They bear their wrongs patiently until they may be borne no longer; then they rise in mere brute strength and strike blindly. Who can blame them?"
 She spoke with unconscious vehe- mence, and her companion, watching her face under half closed lids, thought among the many beautiful women he had known this one was the most beau tiful Her youth, freshness and sim rlicity affected him like the delicate perfume of the mountain flowers he had loved in his unspoiled boyhood.
 What is it you wish me to do?" he asked, with far more earnestness than he had thus far exhibited.
 Do these poor people justice, was her quick answer. "Give them the protection they ask. Investigate for yourself and then act according to the testimony of your own eyes and the i'm pulses of your own heart"
 Il think" he said slowly, II could do much to please you. ."
 And you will overlook the rudeness of Matthew North today?" she asked, bending her head to hide her confusion.
 She did not observe the change in her companions s manner as she spoke North s name. The slight show of feel ing which had momentarily appeared in his face faded away, leaving it col orless and apathetic as before.
 You need be under no apprehen- sion," he replied, with a touch of haughtiness in his tone. Il attach no importance whatsoever to the incident. !"
 She raised her eyes with quick, in quiring glance, but he was not looking at her, and his handsome features wore their old bored, indifferent air.
 Thank you" she said curtly, and
