PoUNcED ON POOR JEANNE.

but for the first time on record grief
followed the move. Pierre and Jeanne
were taking their usual morning game
in the sunshine of the little shop door,
when a big brindle stranger appeared
on the banquette without. Straight as
a die Jeanne was in her cage and Pierre
had gone in hot pursuit of the brindle.
The chase was a hard one, and Mann
zelle says Pierre must have been gone
a long time, but she was busy serving
customers, and by and by noticed
Jeanne hopping about the counter.
Thinking, of course, that Pierre had
returned, she took no further notice
of the bird. \ little later, however,
hearing a dreadful connection on the
banquette she rah.ou to witness the
sad little tragedy which I, too, arrived
just in time to see, but too late to PIE
vent. Taking advantage of Pierre's
protracted absence an ugly-tortoise-
she'll from the next block strolled to
the little shop in search of Jeanne.
Finding her out hopping about unpro-
tected, he began siege at once, no
doubt. Mam'zelle and arrived just In
time to see the tortoise-shell pounce
on poor Jeanne as she sat perched on
top of the swinging cage and bear her
with him to the pavement. Before
either of us could interpose the deed
was done, and then in a moment there
came Pierre rushing round the cor
ner, and as quick as flash he had
taken in the situation. With one fierce
bound he sprang upon the tortoise
shell and swept poor Jeanne from his
clutches. For brief moment he sat
guarding her, but that moment was
long enough to tell him he was too
late.
Then letting Nam zelle take the little
corpse from under his paw, he swooped
down upon the tortoise-shell. It was
only for a little while, and when the
battle was over both cats lay dead on
the pavement. Pierre had laid down
his life to avenge Jeanne's death, and

DISCUSS IT CAREFULLY.

The deceased wifes sister bill comes up annually in the English parliament, and, while up, occasions what might well be termed queer argument. The English bishops are and always have been adverse to it, and Gilbert calls it the "annual blister" In bible times a widow could take her dead husband s shoes, and, placing them before her brother-in-law ask him to marry her. He was compelled to comply or give her a money equivalent. No such pro- vision was made for a mourning wid- over to force himself on his wife's sister. This was not fair play, either to the widower or to the deceased Wife's sister. In this country the rights of the entire family are recog- nized, and the mourning widower is or can be, handed down from sister to sister as long as the family looks up on him as an object without which it could not be happy, or as long as a single sister remained whho cared to listen to his sweet tale of woe
 Two serious questions will arise in Che thinking mind relative to this whole business. Of course it is under stood that the thinking mind will fol- low the possibilities to the utmost log fcal conclusion Can a man legally marry his mother-in-law? If so, does he want to?

HEADLESS BIRD.
Young Quail Whose Neck Had Been
 Wrung Flies Away.

A gentleman living near this place recently netted dozen quails, says a Taylor dispatch to the Philadelphia Times. When he was killing and dress ing them the following strange occur. renee transpired: As he went to wiring the neck of one of the birds the head slipped off in his hand, pulling about two inches of skin and feathers along with it.
 Turning moment later to pick ut the bird from where he had thrown it. the gentleman found the little fellow flying and hopping about as though nothing untoward had happened, his bare neck sticking up gaunt and head less.
 Thinking the birds activity resulted from a posthumus contraction of the muscles the gentleman attempted to pick him up, when the little fellow mounted in the air and flew away, fut. tering and quiyering now and then, but when about 200 yards from the house he disappeared into asmall pine thicket flying to the last.

 started the somersault cure for wo- men who desire to improve their fig ures. Sometimes" she says, ''it takes logic and patience to persuade stout, dignifed lady to turn somersault, and in the preliminary trials difficult object has to be helped over. At 45 you know, such an action seems an awful and awkward enterprise, but once you learn how to turn somer- saults, even at 50, the exhilaration of it grows on you" Such action would seem to be in direct opposition to the scripture, which saith: 'fShe that standeth upon her head and waveth her heels in the air perverteth herself

The above heading may at first ap- pear to readers of these lines as mis- leading, but on second thought the ap- propriateness of it will be apparent. To be sure it does not herald the fare well of some famous theatrical or pu- gilistic star, but the event that it does announce is of equal importance. Alkires, finding that they are altogeth- CT too heavily stocked at this season of the year with white wash goods an- nounce from this date special closing out sale of all goods in this line. Prices will cut no ice in this sale, the sole object being to dispose of the goods for some consideration. It has long been business policy of Alkire's to never carry from season to season unstaple lines, hence these great drives. The boys sell summer goods in the summer time and winter goods in the winter time. In no sense of the word is this sale of remnants.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits."

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Sulphur Valley News: The s. P. company is replacing many Mexican laborers with Indians along the road in the western. part of the territory. The first consignment for this division arrived at Railroad pass last Friday and came near precipitating serious trouble. It appears that the old hands had some difficulty with the foreman regarding their 'itime" and the fore man was compelled to take refuge in the section house and send to Wilcox for aid. Before the relief party ar rived, however, the trouble had been settled
 Sacramento Bee: The Bee in heart and mind believes, as it knows thou sands through out the Nation believe that the influence of the gold gamblers convention at St. Louis and affected its deliberations. The Bee has long been convinced that the Republican party has been getting farther and farther away from the masses, and nearer and nearer to those classes whose interests are not those of the country. Whether the policy of the Republican party will lead to it's own ruin is something which time, and a short time, will tell. Meanwhile, The Bee awaits further developments in the making of platforms and the nam ing of candidates.
 Los Angeles Express: More than ever it becomes clear that the only policy for bimetallists who are Repub- licans to pursue is to vote for McKin- ley and silver congressman. In states like this, where a senator is to be chosen, members of the legislature should be pledged to vote only for sil- yer men for the United States senate. The friends of the white metal must hold on to the senate, try to capture the house of representatives and trust to McKinley's personal record in favor of silver to do the rest
 Salt Lake Tribune, It is reported that several banks of Louisville, Ky, have requested some of their patrons who are pronounced silver men to withdraw their accounts, explaining:
 
 ests, and we must protect ourselves. We desire to have nothing more to do with you" If that could only become general it would come very nearly electing silver candidate for presi- dent this year.
 Tucson Star: The Arizona delega- tion at the Chicago convention should be urged by telegraph to refer the se- lection of the National committeeman to the territorial convention, which will meet to elect a delegate to con- gress. The unfair means which is be- ing used to misrepresent Judge Barnes by the Smith faction, ought to be thus summarily dealt with. Democrats be- lieve in fair play, and they will have it in Arizona

 Florence Tribune: Cochise county has added more than one hundred million dollars to the worlds wealth of gold, silver and copper, yet the val uation of its property, while doing this, has dwindled from nearly fifteen million dollars in 1883 to less than three millions in 1895. Isn't this a sermon in itself on the financial uues- tion? And yet there are people who expect us to blindly follow a policy that has bankrupted us.

 Holbrook Argus: Chief Justice A. c. Baker recently delivered two import ant decisions affecting our territorial interests. Both decisions sustain the governor-one busting P. J. Cole and installing Thos Parish in the of- flee of territorial treasurer; and the other seating T. J. Wolfey as citizen Republican member on the board of control, vice M. H. McCord, the hold over appointee of ex-Governor Hughes in his authority to remove at will any officer, who is simply the creature of the governors appointing preroga- tive; the confirmation" by the legis- latlve council cutting no ice, being merely perfunctory in its practical ap- plication. In principle as we'll as in law Judge Bakers decision is unuues- tlonably right; for, if the governor has the power, done over his signature, to make an officer" out of a private citizen, a priori, he must necessarily be clothed with power to "unmake. , Any other view of it seems out of the question, and we think the law sus- tains this view of the case. The gov ernors, as we'll as the presidents of the United States, as we'll as the prime minister of England, etc., etc., must certainly possess this power.
