A SMOOTH ONE
Does .hc Town and G. Cs vii;
 Many S.eck'ts.

Many in To ,.5.t' n vii flca'l a visit the pas, We !, iru.u "A soapman. He will be remembered as pleasant sauve gent, and smo Jth oily talker who was interducing an article in the soap line, that he guaranteed would eradicate any grease spot etc. and was always ready 10 p;ove its efficacy by rubbing his soap over some dirt spot on the clothes the meanwhile giving intructions for u-ins IL He sold about $75 worth of lis soap to the bushes 5 men, while his wife worked the resi- dence precincts to perfection, telling a pitiful story how her husband was a druggist in poor health, and she was endeavoring 10 support the family by selling this soap. She also met with great success, finding many sympa- thizers and making many salee.
 The fellow also would sell the receipt for making his preparation at non,- inal cost. Now his receipt is out, and we will venture that very few can be found after reading this that bought any soap at all.
 A customer was in the store Of Geo. H. Fitts yesterday morning making purchases and casually spoke Of the aforesaid soap man, telling tha. he bought cake of lis soap wrapped in tinfoil with printed label on it, and was nearly talked ito buying the re- ceipt also. While talking the tower ing form Of the soap vendor passed the door. He was pointed out 10 the round and jovial grocer when the lat ter burst out into fit of laughter almost bordering on mysteries. Up 10 that moment he did not know that any one was selling small cakes of soap around town, but .he secret of the soap mans receipt flashed upon him. Why" said the smiling dealer in gro ccries, "I have sold that same man nearly Sl0 worth Of Almond-borax soap the past two days, and he was in this morning for another batch."
 It was made apparent that the manufacturing" of the glib takers soap is done in each town he strikes On the road, all that being necessary is plenty of borax soap, mould to cut in small cakes, tinfoil and labels. Yankee ingenuity, and there's mil lions in it.

HELPING BUFF ALONG.
The Stranger was SD Cordial That Buff Accepted -an
 Invitation.

A good story is told by Mir. Dave Burlington who has been visitor for the past few weeks and who has been spending seversl months at the vari- ous ranches in the country enjoying our climate solely for the benefit oi his health, occasionally coming to town for a short trip. He is j0vial. well-met gentleman of happy di-posi- ton, and is a man of means. He was relating story of his own experience tha. happened last week, to party Of three last evening, at which our sport ing editor was present. The story was made doubly entertaining and laughable by the humorous vein in which it was told.
 He was out hunting afoo', had crossed one Of the big washes or gulches and was out several hours, when he was ready to return to the ranch he discovered that the gulch which he had crossed not very long before was now raging river. MT. Buff ngton is no tenderfoot and knew something about Arizona washes him self; he therefore sat down to wait un- til the river lowered considerable. In due course of time a rancher who was returning home from town hove in sight.
 "He was the most genial fellow l ever met" said Burlington. Il never saw him before in my life, that know of, but he knew me-"
 Hello Buff" the driver said cher rily, "get in and I'll haul you over"
 Burlington did not like the idea very much for the reason the water was still high and also the driver had aboard considerable load Of elixir of life and was feeling particularly strong and brave. "How:ver," continued Burlington, in relating the story, "h' greeted me with such hearty cordi- ality ,ha. I accepted the invitation. He drove into the water, and not knowing exactly where the best ford ing place was, he soon got Tn up to the hubs and then over the wagon bed."
 Buff, old boy, you'll have to hold your feet up," he said.
 "Then the wagon bed was sub merged, and the water came over the seat"
 Buff, old boy, guess you'll have to stand up."
 "I stood up.
 "The fellow by this time had lost his bearings completely. and we went into a plout hole about 10 feet deep, and the horses had to swim. As the wagon box went beneath the water he yelled with the same cherry voice:
 Buff, old boy, guess you'll Lave to swim."
 "S Opth swan out; oAN oi'ei 'A4N fellow had his hosre safely landed oD the other side he said, ss he climbed back into the wagon:
 "Well, Buff, old boy, you got wet, didn't you? Good bye, Buff, old boy
 'I ought really to have killed the fellow, but he was SO heartily polite that l couldn't even swear at him. Since that time l am little wary of people who get too friendly on short acquaintance"

SMALL BEGINNINGS

Make great endings sometimes. Ail- ments that we are apt 10 consider triy- ial often grow, through neglect, into strocious maladies, dangerous in themselves and productive Of others It Is the disregard of the earlier indI- cations of ill health hich leads to the establishment of all sorts of msladies on & chronic basis Moreover, there are certain disorders inciien; to tie season, such as malarial and rhumtaism against which it Is always desirable to iortiiy the system after exposure 10 the conditions whicd produce them. Cold. damp and miasma are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. After you have in cured risk from these influences, a wineglassful or two of Hostet,er's Stomach Bitters directly afterward d should be swallowed. For maleria, dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney snh bladder trouble, nervousness and debr ilIty it is the most deservedly populs- of remidies and preventives. A wine slassful before meals promotes appe- tIte.

An Intercstiu. Interview

Today as we were vending our way to the Justice court for an item, We were accosied on the street by lady who proved to be the heroine of the horsewhipping contest mentioned in last nights PRosPEcToR. We instantly had presentiment oi impending trouble. We feared not her wrath on the score Of mentioning names in our description because par ticuiar pains was taken 10 leave that out, but our efforts to sileirack our readers by saying she was "fair fat and ftrty" when ID reality she was a beauti- ful looking and graceful lady, who still retains 8 youthful flush and d oe not look over-well, gay 20, was, we were afraid, not appreciated, but she modestly refrained from referring to that subject. She harraDgsd us a bit in the same gentle voice that she spoke 10 her husband on the memor. able night of the horsevhipping cpl code. We felt relieved considerably when we saw she had not her favor;te weapon with her, but as she was talk. ing twinkle in her eye did not make us feel altogether right, and as a resul, we were fervently wishing for it tc rain. A solemn promise was wrunl from us never to mention any name connected with the affair aud VI
