THE ARIZONA KICKER
HOW THE EDITOR STANDS ON THE
ISSUES OF THE DAY.

Jim Wbeeler's Call q Failure-A Warning
to Mejor Banks-The Editor Held Up,
but Willing to Admit It-Had a Good
Thing, but Didn't Know 1t.
The mayor of this town (who is our
self was sitting in his office in the city
hall last Tuesday afternoon when a
cowboy named Jim Wheeler attempted
to ride his cayuse up the main stairway
to make an official call. Jim had a bet
Of $25 that he would ride in on us and
Jump his critter over our desk, but he
lost the wager. Hearing the racket ON
the stairs we sailed out, and two min
utes later Mr.. Wheeler and his cayuse
were tangled up i'll a heap in the middle
Of the street. He shot at us three times
during the performance, but no one was
hit by the bullets. The horse was able
to limp away, but the man from Big 3

to the kitchen and pantry he carried out
a bath brick, a box Of stove polish, a
loaf of bread and three nutmegs, and
these things went into the kettle to keep
the old boots company. Ten minutes
later he added a dozen potatoes, and q
little later he chucked in an old straw
lat from the stock in the wood shed.
He was no nearer soap than when the
fire was first lighted, and as he realized
this he flung an old paint key in on top
Of all and muttered to himself:
"By the beard Of my father, but I'll

kicked the kettle off the fire and over

sleepily queried:

Mrs. Bowser wasn't at all enthusiasts
tic, knowing that consequences were
sure to follow, but she helped to hoist
the kettle up OF. some stones and start a
fire. Mr.. Bowser brought the water
from the well, shook in his ingredients,
and presently the twilight fell, and his
gypsy camp fire was lighting up the
back yard like a beacon.

exclaimed Mr.. Bowser as he sat down
On the ground near the fire and looked
around with a smile. Mrs. Bowser,
think of the hot and crowded city-the
bricks and cobblestones, the sufferings
Of the people who can't get away!'
Mrs. Bowser Withdrew, and for an
hour Mr.. Bowser attended the fire in
the most faithful manner. The man had
warranted soap in 60 minutes, but at
the end of that time the stuff in the
kettle was foaming away as at first.
Mrs. Bowser strolled around to have a
look and to say:
"Idon't believe you'll make soft soap
out of that stuff"
"What you don't believe would fill a
big book" sulkily answered Mr.. Bow

in. We always used salt to solidify it. "
Mr.. Bowser got a bowl OF salt and
threw it in, but the only effect was to
make more foam. He went back to the
house for more, but changed his mind
and brought out q box of ginger, a cup
of white sugar and IA package of corn
starch and chucked them in One after
another.
"That will be a curious brand Of
soap, said Mrs. BowseI as she watched
the proceedings.
