"One of the funniest sights l ever saw
was "a South Sea islander with his first
chunk of ice, - remarked the captain of IL
trading schooner. Il was lying at anchor
at one of the Navigator islands once when
some natives came aboard 1t was an aw-
fully hot day, and l had just been getting
some ice up from below. The natives look
ed at it curiously, and SO l handed one Il
chunk. The moment it touched his hand
he dropped It like II hot shot and looked at
his palms to see if they were burned.
"After deal of iabbering they all sat
around il and watched it melt. They
couldn't understand it at all, and when
there was nothing left but wet spot on
the deck they sat around it and discussed
tho phenomenon.
~ put n piece of Ice in my mouth and
then gave them some. They shifted it
from hand to hand like IA hot coal. put
the tips Of their tongues on it gingerly
and finally swallowed the chunk. 1t was
"a source Of great wonder to them. San

feels compelled to resort to that, he will
hunt for some other occupation. Our
way is straight from the shoulder. For
instance, Captain Thompson, our be-
loved county register, borrowed $40 of

Not a Gentleman.
As the acknowledged head of society
in this town we were given charge of
Mrs Colonel Clark's birthday party,
held the other evening. A part of our
duty consisted in cOurteously requesting
all gentlemen to leave their guns in the
hall as they arrived, and there was only
one single objection. Mr.. Hiram White,
who claims to have led society in Omaha
and Denver for number of years and
to be high authority on all matters Of
etiquette, refused to give up his gun, and
when we pressed the point he called us
a vulgarian and liar. In Difference to
our hostess, we passed the matter over
until the party broke up. Then we in
vited Mr.. White to fight or retract, but
he ran away and has not appeared on
the streets for three days. Mr.. White is
no gentleman. In fact, Mr.. White is a
loafer, cad, prig and several other
things, and if he will kindly tell us
where to call for lock of his hair
We'll get most of the bristles on his
head before we stop using the shears.

THE ARIZONA KICKER
COLONEL WHARToN'S TROUBLES IN
THE CIVILIZED EAST.

An UnhOly Critter With a Holy Panorama
0ueers this Editors Lecture-Another
Tenderfoot PIanted-JournaIism That
Does Not "Allege."
We learn from a private letter that
Colonel Wharton, who went to Chicago
on business two weeks ago, is in trouble
in that town. No sooner had he landed
there than the police took away his two
guns and knife and lasso. At several of
the hotels they warned him that he
could not enter the dining room in mis-
red shirt and with his trousers tucked
into his boots. When he finally went
out on the street with his blankets to
camp down for the night, he was run
in and given so days in the coop. We
warned the colonel before he left here
to stop at Prescott and give up his guns
and put ON a boiled shirt and a celluloid
collar, but he either forgot it or thought
he could bluff civilization on two pairs.
1t seems hard that one of our people
can't go east as far as Chicago and
shoot out the gas, lasso carriage horses
and utter a warwhoop ON the street,
but It is something we must submit to
with the best grace possible. The colo
mel went away to see civilization and
get polished up, and it will be as good
as circus to listen to his story when
he returns.
The Affair at Pilot Hill.
We were invited over to Pilot Hill

poetry had got to come out this week or
he'd shoot, and as he had the bulge on
us and appeared to be deeply in earnest
we stopped the press and inserted the
seven verses as he directed. 1t is the
first poetry we have published in seven
months, and if pair of navy revolvers
hadn't been watching us this stuff
would not have appeared. 1t was shot
in, so to speak, and we can't help but
say that we like Mr.. Hanna's pluck. A
man who will spend a week writing a
poem and then ride IA miles and hold
up a newspaper Office to get it published
has got some good stuff in him. It's our
idea that he ought to leave poetry alone
and become a road agent. The next man
who tries US may not succeed so well,
as we were busy and not looking for
callers.
He Was Failure.
A man, supposed to be Pete Fra
ger, who was warned out of this town
two weeks ago as a duffer, attempted to
hold up the Pine Hill coach last
Wednesday evening at Club run. He
might have made big haul, as there
was plenty of money aboard, but as
soon as Hank Green, the driver, yelled
at him he made dive for the bushes
and was not heard of again. Hank has
got roar ON him like wounded bull,
and his yells that evening were heard
three miles away. If the man really
was Pete Frazer, we hope he was not
scared out of the country. He would
come in very handy by and by when
our vigilance committee had nothing to
do and wanted to keep their hand in.
Should the Pine Hill folks get hold of
him first, they will please remember
that our people have first claim.

owns it-but the crowd counted US in
and fired us out of the window, and as
we galloped homeward a number of the
boys followed us for two or three miles
and wasted great deal of lead in try
ing to tumble us out of the saddle.
After this we shall add to our address
that the way to succeed is to keep clear
of holy panoramas run by drunken men
and to steer wide of such towns as Pilot

Not Used to the Climate.
A cowboy named George Swift called
at The Kicker office yesterday to report
that there was a dead man lying beside
the highway at the top of Grizzly hill,
on the Santa Fe road. Mr.. Swift didn't
get off his horse to make a close exam
ination, bat it is his opinion that the
man was tenGerfoot, unused to the
climate, and that qfor the walk M hill
he fell dead The coroner goes out to-
day to hold an inquest, and it is our
opinion that he will discover two or
three bullet holes in the body. The high
climate has more or less effect on stran-
gers, but it seldom kills them and folds
their hands across their breasts at the
same time. We were told the other day
that the boys over at 2 by 2 ranch,
where Mr.. Swift belongs, had planted"
nine different strangers this year, and
it might be we'll for the legal authorities
to make few inquiries.
Not Any For Us.
We have received the prospectus OF
the Great Jupiter silver mine, located
somewhere or other in Colorado, and
now almost ready to turn out 1000,
600 worth of ore per week. We have
further received an offer of $50, 900
worth of stock to publish the said pro-
spectus one time. The management will
please accept our redhot thanks, but we
are not in the business any more. In
our greenhorn days we gave up our
columns to p1ospectuses and accumulat-

DREISS HILL VICINITY,
A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL MEETING
HAS CLOSED.
Young Folks society-WOuld Be BiCy-
olists - General Batch Of
the Weeks News.

The week has passed of quietly,
with the exception of one social
function, which was quite credit
able, and the revival at the South
blackberry street Methodist church,
which Rev. r. l.. Selle, of the Trim
ity M. E. church, has been con-
Quoting for the past two weeks,
and which closed Friday night.
The meeting was well attended
by both young and old and many
conversions and accessions to the
church was the result. During the
past week the meeting was better
attended than the week before, the
young folks turning out better and
showing more interest in the ser
vices. Beside this, the Hill was
very quiet. The largest attend.
ence noted during the revival was
that of Thursday night.
Following on the heels Of the
English revival just closed at the
blackberry Street M. E. church,
Rev. John STREET., pastor OF the
German congregation Of the same
church, will begin revival tomor-
row night to continue two or three
weeks. In consequence of this the
Epworth League will meet In Rev.
Smiths school house, corner Mon
tana and Monumental streets next
Friday night, instead at the church,
the entire time being given over
to the Germans for their services
as was done by them during the
two weeks of the English revival.
The League business meeting will
be held at Z 80 and the devotional
exercises afterward.
The Westminster League Of the
Pine Street church held it's regular
weekly devotional meeting Tues
day evening, the exercises being
led by Mr.. Charles Gillespie, who
made quite nice little talk. The
meeting adjourned in time to al
low the young people to attend
part of the revival services at the
Methodist church. This was also
the date for the monthly business
meeting of the League, but as a
quorum was not present, owing to
the threatening condition Of the
weather, the president, Miss Nell
lieAndrews, postponed it until next
Tuesday.
The chief social affair of the
week occurred at the residence OF
Mrs. Murphy, on Montana street
Monday night. Mrs. Murphy is a
great friend of the yourg people
and whenever she undertakes to
entertain them, which is quite Of
ten, nothing is left undone to
make the affair a success and the
one she gave Monday evening was
one OF her best efforts. 1t was
given for the purpose of raising
money to purchase the young
folks a library and fit up room
for their social enjoyments. She
has a neat little one-room cottage
standing in her yard which she
proposes to fit up especially for the
young folks of Dreiss Hill during
the coming winter. 1t Is her pur-
pose to give an entertainment once
a week, and serve refreshments to
the young people, taking the pro-
ceeds and devoting them to fur
nishing the room with tables,
chairs, games, reading matter ETC.,
she being custodian, and al
lowing them to congregate there
to spend the winter evenings. All
the young folks are enthusiastic
over the proposition and it will
certainly prove success.
