HONESTY is The BEST POLICY.
II You Are Dead Broke own UD Like
Little Man.


Little Man.
Dead broke is not an accurate term.
II is relative. A millionaire considers
himself dead broke when he finds shat
he has only V in his pocket. Men of
less means think they are dead broke
when they can find but a quarter or a
half in their pockets. But with the
mass Of people who haven't very much.
even when at their best dead broke
means that condition in which man
finds himself without a nickel in his
pockets. Pennies don't cut any ice
Even three of four of them won't pay a
car fare, and when n man hasn't car
fare the walk to Cumminsviile AT mid
night seems long-awfully long.

Then 1 thought of the old motto: Hon

"I'm dead broke. old man. Let me

A ravorito Occupation.

In England. as elsewhere in the
world, good-behavior convicts and
those whose terms arc soon to expire
are put at work that is lighter. clean
er and generally more pleasant than
that which the less favored unfortu-
naies have to do. Moving hay with the
old-fashioned scythe is one of the
choice occupations in the carly summer
with those of England's wards who are
deemed available material for extra
consideration. Still moving with q
scythe is not at all easy work. and
the armed guards watch over these IA
vored few. as over the unjust and un-
trusty.-Collicr's Weekly.

FOUR MEN FLOGGED.
SHERIFF FLINN OBSERVED THE
LETTER OF THE LAW IN LAYING
ON THE LASHES.


SHERIFF FLINN OBSERVED THE
LETTER OF THE LAW IN LAYING
ON THE LASHES.
The four remaining conyicts of the
Court Of General Sessions who had not
yet suffered the corporal punishment
connected with their sentences were
publicly fiogged in the county Jail yard
at noon to-day, Sheriff Finn observing
the letter of the law that lashes shall
be on the bare back and "well laid on.
Edward Williams was the greatest
sufferer. He was Obliged to stand in
the pillory an hour while the crowd
stared at and guyed him. Then he was
whipped with thirty lashes, which gave
his back an ashen hue. Williams had
been convicted of entering the house of
David Ficklestein to ransack and rob IL
on May %. Ficklestein had to get up
in the night to get a drink and he step
ped on the man, who to-day writhed
under the lash and will spend four
years in prison.
Andrew Higgins received punishment
that ranked next to Williams in sever
ity. He was whipped sharply with
twenty lashes His is the case in which
q strong fight was made before the
court and several postponements were
granted.
William Robinson also twisted under
twenty lashes from the sheriff's strong
arm for stealing his neighbor's goods
Philip Purnell, whose failing for good
chicken blasted his hopes for citizen
ship in Delaware, brayely endured his
ten shorp lashes.

The only native copper discovered
in northern Arizona cones from the
Buster mine, in Bradshaw mountains.
The native copper is taken from the
ground in solid nuggets and leaf like
sheet, the latter from four to six
inches wide, from six to fourteen
inches in length and from the thick
ness of knife blade to one-quarter
of an inch. These leaf like layers run
in veins through seams in the ore,
which is more in the nature of de-
posit than vein and crops out oIl
top of the mountain. A tunnel driven

mel driven in the side of the mountain
$50 feet below the apex struck the
ledge, and it is from this tunnel that
the richest specimens come. Another
tunnel will be run in 700 feet lower

that point smelter awill be erected.
The ore runs from fifty to eighty per
