Motley Musings.
In Poetry and Prose by Querque for

Most Of us remember that limp bilgy
piece of paper that formed our first
cigarette. How carefully we rolled,
and patted and moistened 1t. How
fat it was in the middle and how pa
perry at the ends. How we stuffed in
the ragged shreds Of tobacco with a
lead pencil. With what pride we
struck the match, and arched our
hands. How 1t flared up at one end
and grew clammy at the other. How
We ran a strand of grass through to
make it draw. How hard we pulled.
And then, when all was in working
order, how We wished 1t wasn't. How
our usual spring cough came on and
the wind got in our eyes. With what
determination (worthy OF better
cause) we stuck to 1t. till reflection
and our breakfast returned, and we
gasped (splendide mendax) that We
had been feeling-unwell-al ALL the morn.

A False Alarm,

A rumor reached here last Sunday that Ambrosia ArmIjo, who is engaged in freighting for A. & B. Schuster, lad fallen under a loaded wagon and had sustained 8 fracture of both legs, be- sides other serious injuries. His neph- ew, Jake Armijo, immediately started for Fort Apache to render assistance to his uncle, and, if possible. to remove him 10 his home here. When within six miles of the post, Jake met his un- cle driving the freighting outfit on the return trip to Holbrook. Don Abrosio was considerably surprised to learn that he had two broken legs, or that he required any assistance, medical or otherwise. Jake arrived home W ednes- day evening and relieved the suspense of the family, who were, as a matter of course, considerably worried at the re- port. It is now said the whole matter was intended as 'joke on Jake" but NC fail to see any humor Tn starting such idiotic rumors. The perpetrator should have his head rubbed, real hard.

Range V JPvS
 One practical essential to success in the cattle business is that of giving the same attention to a calf as is accorded to COW Or marketable steer. Calves must be branded up closely ifstockman would realize the full profit which the business Of stock raising is capable of yielding. In consequence of the time consumed in gathering and driving to the railroad the steers contracted for spring delivery, some Of our stockmen may be inclined 10 neglect the import ant duty Of branding the spring calves. We style it duty because if you fail to brand the increase of your herd, you practically invite to your range the men who make 8 business of maverick ing or "sleepeyiug. E0u cannot afford to let such characters get a foothold on your range; so. even if you have to buy a few ponies or feed sn extra supply of grain. see that everything on your range is branded-Dot only your own calves, but your Deighb0rs.' It will pay you Ia the end.

The appropriation bills of the Nine. teenth legislature, says the Phenix Ga. zette, disclosed the curious fact that the man who prayed for the depraved legislators received $h50per day, while the negro who cleaned the spittoons re- ceIved S4 per day. No wonder bribery and anti-bulliOn tax sentiment pre- vailed. An interview with the man who did the praying brings to light the fact that $l 50 was full compensation for all the religion that he or any other man could pound into that combination of egotism and ignorance.

The Pull of 8 Fish.
New York Sun i

What I want" said an angler, "is a rigging of some sort to measure the pull of 8 fish. If a pound fish pulls three pounds three ounces I want to know it, and fla three-pound fish pulls only three pounds six ounces I want to know that. too. A joker wrote to a sportsman's paper the other day to tell of an invention to measure the size of tue fish that are lost. That is where the pull. l.measure would be good, too. It would have to be self-regis tering, of course.
 ''Everybodv laughs when any one says he lost big one. Eve lost fish of a size never dared tell of just because of the bad name fellow gets for tell ing such things. could tell of six and seven pound trout in CouochogoIa Lake up Tn the Adirondacks, but what's the use? Why, say, I've seen a trout" Just then be remembered himself and began to talk about a grizzly king fly with yellow tail.

 "Within year, St. Johns, Apache county. will have large tract oI land under canal that is we'll suited to the growing of sugar beets," says Professor Devol, who has just retureed from an inspection of the farming communities of the northwestern part of the territ- ory. He states that this large body of land is to be brought under water by a complexion of large dam across Rio Colorado at Chiquito about five miles above the city. The dam will be about fifty feet high and only about 150 feet long. It being in a narrow place with solid rock walls. Much work has been done, including most of the masonry of the culvert through which the water is to be drawn from the reservoir. Thou sands of acres of the bench or mesa lands will be watered from this reser- yoir by laI ge new canal.
 Although he arrived at most of the towns unannounced, the people show ed their interest in the sugar beet ques- tion by turning out we'll to the evening meetings he held for the purpose of dis cussing the Question. The meetings were announced the day they were to be held, after his arrival in town. yet the professor was greeted by about six ty at ConchO and Woodruff, 100 at Snowflake and 225 at St Johns. There are many names from this region upon the list Of those who will experiment. with the sugar beet this season.

No mystery aboutit. When the Shak- CTS offered some time ago to give away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial to any one who might call at their New York office, there vas great rush and 8 great many people they were crazy.
 Subsequent events proved it to have been very clever advertising trsnsac- ton, for although they gave away thou sands of bottles, 1t was in the end pro- fitabIe; nearly every one that took a free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleasure, saying they had derived better results from it's use then from any other medicine they had even used.
 There is nothing so uniformly success ful in the treatment of stomach trou- bles as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and what is better than all, it relieves at once.
