Provoked B Speech.

A good story is told of the way in which New England senator was once aroused to make stirrinT speech. At the outset of his political career he had been known as a remarkably clever ''orator of the stump" and later on, in the lower house of the legislature, he made brilliant name for himself. But when he became a senator he ceased talking, much to the regret of his friends and admirers. Finally the liquor law came up for discussion, and the wife of friend of the senator, who was much interested in it's passage, was greatly disappointed to see that the brilliant man had no apparent in tention of joining in the discussion. She sat dowe and wrote few words on sheet of paper, which she inclosed ir an envelope and sent by {. messenger to the senator. "Do speak! Even Ba- laam's ass spoke once!" This brought the senator to his feet and elicited one of the best speeches he ever made.

POLAR BEAR AND WAlRUS.
Strange Association Existing Between the
 Two AntmaIa

Strange Association Existing Between the
 Two Animals.
 Old voyagers in Behring sea tell of a strange association between the wal rus and the polar bear. The walrus furnishes the principal foood of this great carnivore, which is his deadliest foe, in fact, yet to see them together, as they frequently are, encountered, one might think they were boon com panions. Lying upon the field ice will often be seen patches" of walrus con- taining from thirty to fifty, and with each of these groups will be found the polar bear. They all are apparently resting together in the happiest sort of unity. Occasionally walrus fops into the water and sinks leisurely into the depths, while others will be seen emerging the~efrom and climbing up on the ice.
 The bear becomes, hungry and de- cides he will dine with the walrus that day He rises to his haunchas and sways himself heavily upon all fours. After yawn and a stretch he saunters to the nearest wair1s and swings his power full paw ill a crushing blow on its head, instantly killing the animal. He then proceeds leisurely to make com fortable dinner off the unfortunate ob- ject of his selection. This perform ance, apparently, does not startle the others. They continue to bask un- disturbed, seemingly indifferent to the fate of their conlrade and awaiting their turn like stoics. !Rhe female wal rus with young, however, does not tol- crate the presence of the bear She regards him with merited suspicion, and promptly takes to the water with her offspring on his appearance.

Japanese Explorers,

Japan has keen explorers. The pro- lessor of astronomy in the University of Tokio, MT. Nomaka, accompanied by his wife, last October ascended Mount Fujiyama, 15,OCO feet high, to make meteorological observations in the course of the winter. A short time ago word was received that the professor was dying, and a relief expedition was fitted out. With great difficulty the members of the expedition reached the snow-covered hut. Prof. Nomaka was found to be exceedingly weak and un- able to move, but his wife had suffered no evil results from the exposure. No maka was taken back to Tokio, but he declares he will return next winter, and his wife says she will accompany him again.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
How Arizona Will Celebrate Liberty's
 Birthday.

l This day is the anniversary of the
 signing of the declaration that made
 of America nation. That act of i'm
 mortal fame was done in the sleepy far eastern town of Philadelphia, a
 matter of 120 years agone, yet the memory is a freshener of patriotism
 wherever waves the Stars and Stripes. It cannot be said that Phoenix in the
 summer time is demonstrative in its expression of loyalty, yet the day will
 be observed. Many of the store fronts
 have been covered with flags and bunt- ing and the National colors will fly from every 1agpole
 In accordance with military regula-
 t1ons, the militia company will parade
 and in the evening will be the cycle
 races at the park. No public pro
 gramme of exercises will be held. The weather not being deemed exactly favorable to processions and oratory and the gathering of the populace in large number
 Elsewhere in the territory there will be great times. Nearest to Phoenix will be the celebration of Congress
 camp. About the whole town will be loaded on cars and taken to the Has sayampa river, about twenty miles dis tant. where under the shade of the trees at Brill's ranch there will be or atory, free refreshments, games, music and all species of jollity. The Mexican
 band will be in attendance from Phoe-
 nix, and large number of local ex-
 curslondsts are expected to board the Santa F'e train that will leave for the picnic grounds at S:15 local time. Prescott is famous for 1ndependence Day celebrations and last year did
 magnificently in the entertainment of
 guests from all parts of the territory
 This year it is different and the task
 of celebration has been turned over to Flagstaff and several other of the ! towns along the Atlantic & Pacific
 Even the firecracker will be forbidden today to the Prescott small boy. Mesa will have exercises in the af- ternoon at the Bowery. The addresses
 of the day will be by Judge Woy and
 Judge Morton and there will be music and the reading of the Declaration of Independence. In the evening will be fireworks.
 Tucson will celebrate. to commend able extent, as will also Bisbee. Over
 in the upper Gila valley will be riv&
 celebrations between the rival towns
 of Stafford and Solomonville, the rival
 ry being over a possible change of the county seat. Governor Franklin has
 been secured as the drawing card at Solomonville, while General Sampson l will occupy the stump at Stafford, just I seven miles away. There will be cow I boy sports, roast meat and fireworks
 and upon the celebrations are expected I to hinge the expectations of the two
 towns with the voters of the county.

Talk! !!

There is so much talk about poisons in food and drink that one is inclined to think there is. either no poison at all in food-that it is ali talk-or else that there is so much poison that the most comfort able way to do is to swallow it and take your chances.
 No. Make a friend of your grocer. Get him on your side. Ask him what food is pure, and what is not; ask him what tea is colored, and what is not. Tell him you like grocer's bills better than doctors bills.

He rose in his wrath and smacked one

and sought to escape. He ran through

up a flight of stairs leading to a balcony

A FRIGHTENED HORSE
Jumps Into Crowd witnessing the Parade
on Broadway

While the parade was passing down
broadway yesterday afternoon just af
ter going through the Herald arch.
an accident occurred which for a time
promised serious results, but fortunate
ly ended all right The bicycle division
was just abreast of the old natatorium
when a black horse attached to light
buggy and hitched in front of one of the
stores on the west side of the street be-
came frightened, lunged, broke his
bride and dashed full tilt into the as
sembled crowd on the sidewalks.
At the point named an impromptu
stand had been made by piling dry
goods boxes upon one another, and into
this the frightened animal dashed,
knocking the packing cases and people
in every direction. BY what seems a
miracle no one was hurt. although it
seemed as if a terrible catastrophe had
occurred. How serious if not fatal in
juries We're not inflicted upon the mass
Of men, women and children huddled
together and into the thick of which the
horse plunged seems a mystery
Deputy Constables Mugnemi and
Quinn were escorting that portion of
the parade and quickly captured the
animal, preventing further trouble. No
damage was done, save broken bride
and some smashed packing cases.

Of the estate of John G. Downey, de-

$3.50 alleged to be due for office rent for

that he rented the premises from month

but says that there would be due and
unpaid $140 but for damages to his eff
