AN lDYL OF THE SPRINGS.
The Man who Thought He owned
Them Was Mistaken.


Them Was Mistaken.
Some years ago a company made an
overland trip through the west, says
the Phllistine. The guide was one
Rattlesnake Pete. AS the party jour
neyed they became very thirsty. for in
certain parts OF Arizona water Is
scarce. All day long they iourneyed
and animals and men were nigh per-
ishing, when, 10! Il was as the guide
had foretold-they reached cooling
spring where the water gushed forth
from under n great rock. But there was
a man with a rife in his hands and two
pistols in his belt, and this man said he
owned the spring His price for water
was 81 for BUCKET. So our friends
purchased water and drank and gave
to the animals Rattlesnake Pete re-
marked, as he went away, TO the gem
tleman who owned the water: ANY
man who jumps one Of God Almighty's
springs would sell water to his father
in hell" Some months after Rattle
snake Pete went back that way with
his friend AlkaH Smith and the man
at the springs died, and Pete and his
friends buried him in the valley down
below the spring, and over the grave
they heaped a pile Of stones; and then
they set n stake I'm the center OF the
stones and on the stake are these
words: THE gent under these here
stones thought the springs was his'n
but he were mistaken"

oNce A ROYAL SPORT.

In England cock.hghting. perhaps
the least manly Of all the sports. has
been for many generations associated
with shroye Tuesday. the explanation
given being that the Growing Of a cock
prevented the Saxon ancestors Of tho
Englishmen from massacrlng their
conuuerors, the Danes. on the morning
OF a shrove Tuesday while asleep In
their beds. It is said cock-fghting was
invented by the ancient Greeks.
According to one account Themis-
tocles, the great general, while lead
ing his army against the Persians came
across some cocks fighting Calling
his troops be said These animals
hght not for che gods OF their country,
nor for the monuments of their an
cestors, nor for glory, nor freedom. nor
for their children, but for the sake OF
victory and that one may not yield to
the other" II is said this speech had
an inspiring effect on the Athenians
and annual cock fights were thereupon
established as an act Of thanksgiving
u was only natural that the Romans
should copy the sport from the Greeks.
but with them IL was only a brutal
amusement. The Romans brought the
idea to Great Britain though the date
is unknown. About the middle OF the
twelfth century, however. this sport
was INDUCED In at Shroveide; school
boys brought gameboeks 10 school and
spent the whole afternoon watching
them, the schoolroom serving as a pit
the sohoolmnster as director OF the
sport. An interesting survival of this
remained in England until a recent
day, when children brought a cock
penny" as a present TO the school
teacher at shrovetide instead OF the
live cock Of former days
Two royal names stand out as espe'
cially associated with this sport--those
of Henry VIII. who built a royal cock
pit. and James l.. who ordered cock
Tight twice a week There were also
pits at Drury Lane. Jerwin street and
Shoe street. Charles l. was also favor
able to the sport and appointed a
cock master general. with q salary OF
500 year.

HAD HIS LEG PULLED.
A Young Hopeful Startles His
 Aged Mother.

These are slangy days and idioiic expressions are frequently used by the best of us even little children who are jus. able 10 lisp simple words par alyzs their mamas by telling them "ihey ar. not She only cigar stumps in the gutter" or "the only tin cane on the dump" The mammas are shocked and rtproye their offspring, but the innocent tots return 10 the streets and bring home more bomb shells in the shape of slaug.
 Hearing these phrases continually, it is quito relief to run across an in necent old soul who knows nothing of these things We hear on the street. A generous old mother of Phoenix, says the Gazette, whose hopeful soa is in the east enjoying himself, shocket his aged parent the other day, and at the came time afforded some amusement Ter the up 10 date members o! the family. The boy, who is making the money fly, telegraphed home to his father for more "scads." The father did ne, relish the touch" and brought the telegram home to mCthter. The mother adjusted her specs and read:
 Had my leg pulled. Broke. sead me fifty by wire"
 The good old woman was startled. "My poor darling toy," che moaned, Che must bsve been in one of those cable car things. Send him a hun dred. father, and tell him to get the best doctor in the city"
 Father grinned, but sawed wood" and did as he was b:d, while the daughter of the family, although choking with laughter, tried to con- cole the heart-broken mother.
