Citizens of Arizona Hare No Regard for
Small Change.


Have YOU noticed that men in Ari-
iona do not pay their bills with chicken
feed or small change? asked the Phoe-
nix (Arizona) Gazette. In the older
states when a purchase is made exact
change is usually rendered, and one
thing certain-a bill is not broken If it
can possibly be avoided. Here in the
west any ordinary little purchase ia
made simply by asking for the article,
and when II is passed across the coun-
ter a piece of money amply large to
cover the cost is thrown down. When
change is made the customer carelessly
drops it into his pocket, apparently
without counting it, and goes out with
out once mentioning the cost Of the ar
ticle. He gets just as good a deal as
though he had jewed the dealer fer half
an hour. The custom OF throwing
down a larger piece Of money than is
necessary is not done, as rule, to ex-
hibit the cash, for in this territory
everybody has money. 1t is only to
show apparent Indifference and is a
mark of liberality. 1t may be said
ludl ptHHlSS udNC ho pldCS III
the west, especially in this territory
Even at the postoffice, where every
thing is supposed to be legal tender,
pennies, 2-cent and Scent pieces
are unknown. Change Is made
to the cent by the postmas-
tiers, but they do it with postage
stamps or postal cards. Nowhere else
are odd pennies recognized, even in the
banks. A check drawn for $4.98 would
be paid with S. bill without a word.
The same is true in all the shops and
stores; change is made to the nearest
nickel, sometimes only to the nearest
quarter or dollar. Poor Richards say
ing Take care of the pennies, etc. does
not apply to Arizona, as small change
anything under a dollar, is by most
people considered only as trash of little
value.

The Young woman was good looking

The young woman was good looking
In spite of the necessity of having a
false set of teeth. The dentist was as
affabe as you please and could not say
enough to impress the young woman.
All the time he was talking he was
making a plaster of paris cast of the
young womans mouth. He grew elo-
quent and stopped in his work to eluci-
date some point that the young woman
did not appear to understand. Sudden
ly he noticed that the young woman's
face was unusually red. She appeared
to be trying to speak. He hastily
thrust his finger in to withdraw the
cast, when to his horror he found the
cast had hardened and would not bulge.
He was frightened and called in the
professor Both were frightened, as the
young woman seemed about to choke.
Nothing was left for them to do but to
get a chisel and hammer and chisel the
cast out When this work was finished
they besought the young woman not to
mention the matter and told her to cali
around the next day. The plate, she
was told, would not cost her a cent.

Neither Actor Nor Gentleman.

Did you ask him to leave his name,

Eyes mum; but he said you wouldn't

Maybe he's changed it."
Eyes, num-

Neither, mum; he waa VARY nice; ne

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-What appeared to
be another earthquake shook Chicago at
4 o'clock this morning AMI made the
country tremble for miles around. 1t
came not 10 the low, long, rumbling n an
ner IN which real earthquakes occur, pIt
with great boom. The disturbance was
caused by fonr tons of giant powder,
which was accidentally ignited near t. 9
little town OF Romeo, on the big new
drainage canal which ia in course OF con-
struction.
Throughout an area of about fifty miles
square, from Waukegan, ILL.,. on the north
to kankakee, ILL.,, on the south and from
Rockford, ILL.,, on the west to Michigan
City, Ind, on the east, the shock was
heard. At all these places it seemed TO
be great explosion, and anxious inqujl-
les were sent In all directions to learn the
cause of the shock. No one was killed
by the explosion. 1t occurred 10 the
powder house near Romeo about so feet
froal the canal. Throughout Chicago
windows shook aud ratified and buildings
seemed to rock. Probably as many as a
million people were awakened by the
shock. Tue explosion occurred in the
same place where last week number OF
workmen were killed and injured by a
similar accident en- a smaller scale.

Somebody remembered after he had left

THE CAREER OF SCHOMBURGK

AID interesting fact in connection with
the famous Schomburgk line, which has
escaped observation, is that the man who
provided the British government with
that boundary came to this country from
Germany when he was % years old, and
after working for some time as clerk in
Boston and Philadelphia, became part
ner in a Richmond (Va.) tobacco manu-
factory, 10 1923. The factory was burned
and Schomburgk drifted to thu West
Indies, where after unsuccessful ventures,
his botanical work attracted the attention
of the London geographical society, and
secured himmeansto explore the unknown
regions of the Orino 90, where he travelled
from 1888 to 1899, end where he dis
covered the Victoria Regia lily and
numerous other plants. This work led
the British government to commission
HIM to suggest boundary between Vene-
Zuela and Guiana, and to make further
explorations. The line was drawn, and
be was knighted by the queen for bis
services. Schomburek until his death, 10
1866, continued IN the British consular
service, but devoted himself chiefly to
geographical studies, being a member OF
the principal American and European
learned societies.

MANITowoC needs an anti-slang society
The language of young people is becom-
ing SO sadly perverted that it is begin
ming to have the flavor of the slums
There is more diligence used 10 pickloe
up and using the latest slang expression
than there is IN acquiring correct forms
The worst feature is that the younger
people are encouraged by the example
OF the older. One cannot b. within
hearing of the conversation of school
boys and school girls without feel
ing disgust al their language. The mature
person having powers of expression suffi
cient to make himself understood who
uses slang, should be debarred from good
society.

he served under Capt Van Horn. He
says lie was at the Caster massacre and

and robbed Reuben Clarke, an Ingle
side racetrack employee, of $1,000 have
been arrested. The discovery of a
pouch con aiming $500 which was
buried in the sand near the Cliff house
led to the capture. The police buried
the sack where it was found and then
lay IN wait with Winchesters for the
bandits. After dark John Middlemass
and Harry Gardiner approached the
spot and were about to unearth the
treasure when they were arrested.
Patrick Walch, who is believed to be

Zeitoun by the Turks, Semi official
advices from Zeitoun sey that the
Armenians lost $500 killed during the
engagement and that only $50 Turks
were killed,
The narrow pass between the bills
leading ont OF Zeitoun is said to be
crowded with Armenians, men, women
and children. and it is feared they
will be massacred. The ambassadors
of Great Britain, France, Russia,
Germany, Italy and Austria sent tn cir
dragomans to the palace today in
order to make representations with
the view of preventing the Armenians
from being massacred and pointed out
the gravity of such a deed. Little
hope is felt. however. that the repre-
sensations of the ambassadors will
avail, and the general belief is that
the survivors of the Armenians of
Zeitoun have already been killed.
