Trapping u Robber.

A curious story is told by the Vienna
correspondent of the London News A
young man, the representative of a
large firm, who carried large sum of
money with him, recently spent the
night at hotel at Presburg. AS usual,
he. remained some time smoking in
bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell
to the floor. He bent over to extin-
guish it, when>he saw hand projected
from under the bed to put the cigar
out. 1t made him very uncomfortable.
He lay awhile and then saying, aloud:
''How very cold; shall get my fur
coat" he jumped out of bed, flew to the
door and called for help. The would
be robber was caught. He confessed
he knew the occupant of the room had
money, which he hoped to get while he
slept. He had been a fireman former
ly, and could not resist the impulse to
extinguish the burning cigar.

LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.
The S. F. P. g. P. Survey for
the Extension
Will Be Begun Within Four Days
and Continued Without Ces-
sation to Mesa at Least.

The survey for the extension of the
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad
will be commenced within the next
four days. A corps of engineers in
charge of William Gwin will be put
into the field under the general super
vision of Chief Engineer Drake.
The survey will be completed to Mesa
at once, possibly as far as Florence, and
it may be pursued even farther without
cessation.
This survey was made contingent up
on the raising of a certain amount OF
money by the towns of Phoenix, Tempe,
Mesa, Florence, Tucson and other towns
along the route. The money asked by
the company was not wanted 30 much
for the purpose of paying expenses as
for indicating the interest of the people
in the railroad. 1t could not be ascer-
tanned at the company's office last
night whether the full amount had
been raised, but some time ago it was
pretty much all subscribed.
The fact that the survey is to be I'M
dertaken leaves no reasonable doubt
that Phoenix will not long be the south
ern terminus OF the north and south
road.

An Old Custom Revived.

At the first diplomatic dinner given by
the new president of the French repub-
lie NJ. Felix Faure created quite a SEN
sation by inaugurating a new custom,
or rather by reviving an old one which
had long fallen into disuse. All the
ambassadors and ministers present, to-
gether with their attaches, both civil
and military, had been requested be-
forehand, through the medium of the
"Chef du Protocole, otherwise the mas
ter of the ceremonies, to don their gala
uniforms instead of the customary
swallow-tail and white tie. According
ly, everybody who was entitled to wear
one was attired in gold or silver
braided coat-even French officials
and as the ladies had seized the oppor-
tunity to put on their gayest dresses
and their most sparkling diamonds, the
general effect was quite magnificent

He Was Particular,

An old fisherman in Nartle, Devon,
made it one of the chief ends of his
life to keep his boat immaculate. On
one occasion, gentleman had hired
him to take himself and a young lady
out for an afternoons fishing. The
boat could not be brought near enough
to the shore for them to step in; so the
old sailor removed his shoes and stock
ings, and taking the young lady in his
arms, was about to deposit her on
board, when he caught sight of some
mud on her pretty pair of boots. In
stantly he stopped and dipped both her
feet up to the ankles in the sea, pad
ding them back and forward to remove
the mud, in spite of the protests of the
the owner. His only remark, as he
finally put her on board, was: "Bles?
yer, miss, salt water won't give yer the
snuff1es."

TRY Fodder for Dairy COWS.

The quantity of dry fodder given to
COW may be fifteen to twenty pounds
daily. 1t depends on what other food
is given, as if part of the food is ensil-
age, or roots, or much grain is given,
less hay will be needed. But if hay
and grain are used, the feed may be
ten pounds of each, or two-thirds of
hay and cDe-third meal. 1t is best to
have tbs grain ground as finely as pos
sible, and the food is best digested when
the hay is cut into chaff and wetted and
the meal is mixed with it. The food is
better masticated; and this first di-
gestive process when best done, aids
the other digestive organs to do the
work.

YUMA SCHOOL ELECTION
Candidates Own Wife Refused to
Vote for Him.

The school election last Saturday was
quite warmly contested and called out
an unusually large vote. Up to the
day before it looked as if there would
be no opposition to F. L. Ewing, but
on Friday afternoon Robt. Hornbeck
consented to 90 into the contest. A
hustle" for votes ensued, but the solid
work previously done by Mr.. Ewing
and his friends remained firm with the
result that he received 100 votes to go
for his opponent. The number of
American ladies who voted was com
paratively small, but over one hundred
Mexican sei1oras deposited their ballots
all but three of which were for Mr..
Ewing. An amusing feature of the
contest was the refusal of the wife of
the defeated candidate to vote for him,
as she is opposed to female suffrage

Rubbers for Dogs.

Rubbers for dogs are the newest
companies strew salt to melt the snow
and this makes the feet of dogs sore.
But these canine rubbers are high priced
and each dog needs two pair. In the
Arctic zone the toes of dogs that are
used to pull sleds are protected by a
sort of leather toe piece fastened with

When does advertising pay?
when the darkness follows day,
When the winter pEeeedes spring,
When the song birds Ii arm to sing,
When the deaf no longer hear,
When the anarchist loves beer,
When the chickens feathers wear.
When the sailor learns to swear,
When the shiftless go in debt,
When the running streams are wet,
When the tramp for leisure yearns,
When the ice no longer burns.
When the business man is wise
Then's the time to advertise.
