HOW TO GET A RUGBY RIDE
Novel Idea of Young Lad to Crafty His
Desire for a Ride.

There is no end TO the genius Of young
Americans. A few days ago wee small
boy called at the Sedgwick block. say
ing he was lost and wanted a nickel TO
buy piece OF bread TO appease his hun
ger.
Where do you live?" asked one of the
ladies in the building.
II don't know the street or number,
ma am, but l would know the place if l
saw it,
DO you want TO go homer" said the
lady with a soft, sympathetic voice.
The lad put his fists 10 his eyes and
rubbed them until they glistened. The
poor lady simply melted with sympathy.
do you think you could show me
where you lived if I would drive you
around?"
Indeed. could, ma am. Think said
the youth.
The lady ordered her horse and buggy
from the livery stable, entered the vehicle
with the boy and drove out about
mile.
Il think it is over there said the lad.
The lady pulled on the ribbons. gave
the horse smart touch Of the whip and
spun along eagerly. She was so delight
ed at the thought of restoring a lost child
to the arms Of distracted mother. She
the boy. He wore feigned look of dis
appointment on his face and asked the
lady 10 drive in another direction. They
drove in all six miles and wound up in
front of the Sedgwick block and she hail
ed policeman 10 pour into his delicate
ears the sad story of the lost boy. The
policeman took the lad by the collar and
after shaking him once or twice told him
to go home or he would lock him up.
The lad showed a clean pair of heels and
never looked behind him. That boy"
said the policeman. Lives a few blocks
from here. He knows where his home is
as we'll as you know where yours is. It's
his trick. He is fond of buggy riding and
that is the means he adopts of getting
one"
The lady felt sick and sore at heart
when she found that the boy was a trick
ster and that there was no broked-heart-
ed mother at home awaiting his arriVai.

$1O,OOO.OO.

Ten thousand dollars is quite sum, more than the most of LIS accumulate, still that amount is very conserva- tive estimate of what the various ex- cursionists who left Phoenix during the past week will spend before they return. Ten cents is a small sum, still when expended judiciously it will buy more pleasure in proportion to it's size than the $10,000 will. For in stance, during the sultry evenings in vest in few rides on the electric cars. There is nothing more exhilarating, nothing so cooling as a dash into the western suburbs through the very loveliest portion of Phoenix or out to the eastern terminal where is located Phoenix park and the baths. For Sun day recreation the electric cars are indispensable

A NATIVE INVENTION.

John Martin Luther, peter known to all Hassayampers as Martin, has lately returned to Phoenix after an absence of six years, mostly spent in the east. He is at present engaged in introduc- ing a novelty of his own invention in the shape of fire lighter, a most use ful article, simply made of asbestos and wire. A peculiarity of asbestos is that while it can be lighted and ex- tinguished as readily as a candle it is never consumed and when lighted the heat thus produced is so intense that coal, coarse wood or any other com bustible, is quickly ignited without any kindling whatever. To the thrifty housewife the utility of this invention is apparent. It never wears out and entirely dispenses with all kindling. Martin, the inventor, is also sole man ufacturer, which he, accomplishes la boriously by hand, as old age, rheu- matism and palsy have dealt harshly

WAS A MARRIED MAN.
A Cycle Expert Who Wheeled Under
 False Colors in Arizona

Several months ago Harry Brown, a well-known and well-respected young bicyclist of Phoenix, left Phoenix for a tour of the United States awheel, in the interest of new anti-puncture compound invented and owned in Phoenix. As a travelling companion he had A. L. Hendricks, a young man who had been employed around the bicycle shops of the city and who had been resident in Phoenix for about year. Hendricks was of good ad- dress and was not averse to society and had succeeded in engaging him. self in marriage with an estimable young lady resident on the south side of the river. The boys had pro- gressed on their tour as far as Red Bluff, in northern California, when Hendricks accidentally encountered wound woman and several children, who severally claimed him as hus- band and father The case appeared a plain one, so Brown promptly ad- vised Hendricks that he preferred to travel alone, rather than in the con- pany of such man, and left him.
 Yesterday the following letter was received in Phoenix:
 'Red Bluff, Cal, July ', 1896.
 "Anti-Puncture Mfg. Co.,, Dear Sirs: Pardon me for addressing you, but I. wish to ask a few questions of inn portance, which I hope you will be kind enough to answer. Is my hus- band, A. Leroy Hendricks, still in your employ? If so, where is he at the present time?
 ''He came through this place about one month ago in company with a young man by the name of Brown, but have heard nothing of him since he left Red Bluff. What salary do you pay him, if any?
 "The reason I ask is that am here with four small children in destitute circumstances, so if he has any money coming to him I need it very much. Do you know whether he intends to return to Phoenix or not, or if he left his effects at that place?
 'If you will be king enough to give me tined esired information you will greatly oblige,
 MRS. A. L HENDRICKS,

 A RIVAL to peppermint oil rejoices in the title of methylic-decahydroquino- ine-carbonate, and has no nickname.
 THE cheer "Hurrah!" sounds to French ears like "Au Rat!" or ''To the Rat" In the Napoleonic campaigns the French soldiers responded with "Au chat!" or "To the cat!" which must have sounded like: "Oh, pshaw!' and not so very inappropriate.
 Gold in the Ocean.
 That gold should exist in the ocean is an induction that Dr. Henry Wurtz claims to have presented in 1866, and in 1872 the discovery was announced by E. Sonstadt. A careful computation with the best data obtainable, on the basis of O.9 grain of gold per ton of sea water, about the proportion assigned by Sonstadt, shows that the great ocean should contain gold to the amount of over $50, ,OO0, ,0OO, ,OOO, ,O0O, ,OOO The getting of some of this by electrolysis, Dr. Wurtz now predicts, will be one of the prob lens of the future.

The stream is still dry at the Gila crossing as was noted Friday by Superintendent Shamp and Roadmaster Porter of the Maricopa & Phoenix railway, who were making handcar inspection of the road. All that was noted out of the common lay in the presence on the bridge, in close proximity, of a snake, a turtle, two doves and couple of wildcats, forming happy family that was disturbed by the arrival of the railroad party.
 For nearly a year there has been pending an application for the estab- lishment of old McDowell as a town site. A score or more of buildings or remnants yet are there and would serve as nucleus for the city that is to be. The matter was referred to Probate Judge Grouse and by him to the officials of the land office. The decision is that no townsite may be es- tablished at McDowell till all the property of the government at that point has been sold and the govern ment has ceased to possess any prop erty save the usual interest in the land.
