CHARLIE IS LOST.
And His Dear Aunt Mopes For the Re
turn of the Wanderers.

And His Dear Aunt Mopes For the Re-
turn Of the wanderer.
Charles aunt came into police head
quarters the other day and wanted the
department to 60 out and hunt for Char
lie, whose last name is O. Brien. Miss
Ing children are reported every hour Of
the day at headquarters, and they did
not see anything unusual in Charles
disappearance until the facts came out.
They turned Charities aunt, who lives
at 12 Sheldon street, over to Detective
Swan.
The detective, with due regard for
the sorrow at the thought of the lost
Charlie, prepared to ask number OF
questions. Tears almost welled up in
his eyes as he pictured the little lost
one wandering helplessly about in the
streets Of great city.
"What time yesterday did you miss
him?" he gently inquired.
"Sure, it wasn't yesterday at all !
missed him., said Charles aunt.
"How long ago was it?" softly asked
the detective.
"Three years ago come last Monday"
was the answer.
Mr.. Swan fell back in his chair with
a dull thud. ''Three years, did you
say?" and he looked out Of the window
SO he could havea laugh all by himself.
"Have you a picture Of him?" asked
Mr.. Swan, and the caller produced
tintype Of clever looking little chap.
"That was taken some years ago."
said Charles aunt HE was years
old them"
"And how old was he when he disap-
peared?" asked Mr.. Swan.
"He was over IT." was the answer.
Mr.. Swan gasped again. "And then
he's about 81 now, he remarked. "And
then he's been missing three years, and
you don't know where he is, and we've
got the picture Of q boy 6 years old to
find him with. That picture looks about
as much like Charlie as do. The best
thing you can do,if you want to find
Charlie is to advertise. "-Providence

Bangor Girls.

You've heard Of the Bangor girls?
They are proverbial. Metaphorically
speaking, every daughter of Eve in the
Queen City wears bloom Of health, a
pair of large. speaking orbs and two
lovely breakdown cheeks. Whether
this is due to the ozonic influence of the
atmosphere or the unusual richness Of
the soil, certain it is that Venuses and
Dianas and Hebes come marching up
the street some days in solid phalanx.
There are girls upon girls, and they are
all handsome. -Biddeford Journal

Since the death of Seyffert, the Wen
ma executioner, the authorities have re-
ceived scores of applications for his
place, Of which the most curious is that
of a pretty woman, who sends her pho
tograph with the following letter:
81 am Is years old and possess great
physical strength. My sex and above all
my beauty fit me for the employment /
solicit. The fact is that the last person
on whom the condemned man fixes his
gaze is the executioner, who nine times
out Of ten is repulsively homely. How
much more consoling it would be for a
criminal before entering into eternity to
have the. knot adjusted by the soft hands
Of woman. whose bewitching glances
would cause him to forget for an in
slant the terrors Of a moral agony worse
than death. Vienna Letter.

I'd my friend has said that am a poor
hand to quote Scripture. will try it
again, however. It is said in one Of the
adrnoni.ions of our Lord, AS your Fa-

perfect. The Saviour, suppose, did
not expect any human creature could be
perfect as the Father in heaven, but he
said, AS your Father in heaven is per
feet, be We also perfect. He set that up as
a standard, and he who did most i'll

FROM nearly every town in the ter ritory comes reports of the depreda- tionS of thieving hobos. Flagstaff has suffered from their operations along with other communities, and it is about time that stringent measures were used to stop the lawlessness of these nomadic petty criminals. Every aid should be extended to worthy men who have been made wanderers by the hard times, but when tramp who is troubled with cramps in his fingers is caught, his ailment should be treated with heroic remedies, as the contrac. tion of the muscles of the digits gen. orally occurs with fatal results to the property which the victim invariably has in his hands at the time.

THE Durango. Flagstaff X San Diego railroad has many salient points in its favor. It has two important objective points, Durango at the east and San Diego in the west. It runs through a productive country in minerals, agri- cultural. horticultural and vitIcultural, grazing and timber lands, with the towns of Flagstaff. Phoenix, Jerome and Yuma along the way. Beyond all this it runs through some of the most chai m- ing scenery on the American continent and from all these sources it will draw handsome revenue SO as to make il one of the best paying roads in the country. And now that it has been demonstrated through actual survey by a first class railroad engineer that the route is feasible and cheap. the work should be commenced at once.

MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS.

It is the duty of every citizen of Flagstaff to attend the mass meeting to be held next Saturday night at Bab- bitt's hall The town has commenced to forge ahead this spring with ra- pidily which it has never before ex- perienced. The expansion is natu- ral. hoalty one, not created by boom methods. and the permanency of it is assured by its stability. There is no doubt but what the city will some day become the distributing center for the country many miles around, large manufacturing community because ot the many coal, iron. copper. and other minerals that lay practically at her door, and summer resort on account of the delightful climate and scenery which she possesses.
 The reputation of Flagstaff as de- lighlful spot for tourists is already es. tabished and during the coming sum- mer several hundred visitors will bt here from the southern part of the territory, California and other places throughout the country. Some oi them will build cottages and Chau tauqua village will undoubtedly be or gauized. In anticipation of all these things both waterworks and light ing system should be established These Improvements are badly needed and would soon pay for themselve, through the diminution of the danger from ira. the reduction in the rates of insurance and thousand other ways. If the same progressive spirit IS shown in advancing the city as was displayed in arranging the prelimina ries for Fouath of July celebration, Flagstaff is bound to eventually be- come the metropolis of Arizona.

TIE route of the Durango, Flagstaff & San Diego railroad between here and Jerome has been surveyed. The engineer declares that the road can be built without meeting any obstruction along the line which cannot be easily surmountcd. The projectors should forge ahead and have the new railway well under way before the summer is over. It will not only be a benefit to Flagstaff, but every town with which it will connect from Durango to San Diego will profit by it.

FLAGSTAFF will continue t0 have the greatest Fourth of July celebration in northern Arizona. That was demon- slrated at the citizens meeting held last Tuesday night.

Prescott and other towns that are maK- ing abortive efforts to get up blowout should cease their futile attempts and make up their minds to come here and see 3 display which will eclipse any thing between Kansas City and the coast,

The city council is to be commended

The city council is to be commended for the progressive spirit it displayed at the meeting of last Saturday night. The ordinance creating q district in which no frame building can be erected is good precaution against fire and with a good fire department the danger of Il general conilagration will be reduced to minimum. With the facilities for subduing flames which Flagstaff will soon possess and the building restrictions imposed by the council, insurance rates should be so materially reduced that the difference will more than pay for the cost and maintenance of the fire apparatus.
 The measure 10 place the street grades on uniform level is also a benefcicial one and when the work is done. Flagstatf will re the finest look ing town in Arizona.

IF the board of control want to work the convicts there are several ways of doing it without forcing honest labor into idleness. One manner in which they can be thus employed is in dig ging irrigation ditchcs in sections of Arizona where It could not other wise pc protitably done. There are many localities of this sort within the territory that would make excellent farming lands were they placed under water system. The expense of doing so, however, is too great for private enterprise, and unless it is done by public means it will lay idle and un- reclaimed. There is plenty of similar work which could be done by the pris- oners without interfering with the employment of honest men, and there is no necessity of putting them to labor on the reform school grounds. That is work that can and should be dope by free cilisepa
