Interesting Case of Adoption in Probat.
 Court

Interesting Case of Adoption in Probate
 One Of the most interesting official acts that has occurred here perhaps in years was done by Probate Judge Wood yesterday.
 It was the legaIizing of the adop tion by F. G Hermosillo of Rosaura Leon.
 MT. Herm0sillO is one of the leading citizens of Nogales. He is 58 years old, banker, and besides being worth from sl5O,0OO to s2OO,0O0, be Is a very excellent gentleman, respected by all who know him. Mrs. HermU- siIlo is a very excellent lady. They have no children of their own.
 Some years ago Rosa Leon was in their employ. Three years ago she became the mother of sweet girl baby, and the little one soon had the tender hearts of MT. aud Mrs. Hermo- sillo tightly in the grasp Of it's chubby hands. So that when the mother came to Tucson some time ago to live, Mr. and Mrs. Hermoslllo insisted that baby should remain with them, aud so it did.
 This love for the little one grew with the days, and finally they con cluded that they would legally adopt the child as their own. which adup- tion was formally done yesterday.
 This is q case in which one scarcely knows whether to congratulate MT. and Mrs. Hermosillo ppon their ac- quisition of a daughter and heiress, or the child on the rare good fortune Of finding loving and wealthy parents. Doubtless both are to be congratula- ted.--Star of April 22d

ogenus region one February he was
out prospecting for timber tracts. The
snow was deep, with light crust, just
strong enough to hold up a man on
snowshoes. Coming upon little rise
Of land in timber swamp one day he
saw two wolves little way ahead OF
him. The crust would not bear them,
and they could only wallow along in
the snow. Seth would tackle anything
that ever ranged the woods. He had no
gun, but he set out after the wolves
with his axe. What did those wolves
DO but circle round until they got
back upon Seth's tracks. You know
how in light snow the steps Of a man
in snowshoes will pack down the snow.
Once the wolves got to Seths tracks
the slotes (snowshoe prints) held them
up and they Just ran on them in a
circle till he gave up the chase. He
was so near that he could almost have
thrown his axe to them, and he
couldn't get step nearer. Seth said
the wolves sat on their launches and
laughed at him when he had to give
up and start along"

The LenlSy Missouri River.

F. r. Spearman writes Of Queer
American Rivers" in st. Nicholas. Mr..
Spearman says:
With all it's other eccentricities. the
Missouri River leaks badly; for you
know there are leaky rivers as we'll as
leaky boats. The government en-
gineers once measured the flow of the
Missouri away up in Montana, and
again some hundred miles further
down stream. To their surprise, they
found that the Missouri, instead OF
growing bigger down stream, as every
rational river should, was actually
10000 second-feet smalled at the lower
point.
Now, while 10000 second-feet could
be spared from such a tremendous
river, that amount OF water makes a
considerable stream Of itself. Many
very celebrated rivers never had sc
much water in their lives. Hence
there was great amazement when the
discrepancy was discovered. But OF
late years Dakota farmers away to the
south and east of those points on the
Missouri, sinking arteSian wells, found
immense volumes Of water where the
biologists said there wouldn't be any.
So it is believed that the farmers have
tapped the water leaking from that
big hole in the Missouri River away ur
in Montana; and from these wells they
lrrigate large tracts of land, and, natu-
rally, they don't want the river-bed
mended. Fancy what blessing it is
when the weather is dry, to have a
river boiling out of your we'll, ready to
flow where you want 1t over the wheat
fields! For of all manner of work that
river can be put to, irrigation is,
think, the most useful. But isn't that
queer way for the Missouri to wan
der about underneath the ground?

TOLD BY THE CIRCUS MAN.
Che I;ig Girafre's Usefulness In Carrying
Torch for the Cailiope PLAYER.

Che I;ig Girafie's Use fulnc,s In Carrying n
Torch FOR the Caiiiope PLAYER.
I'm all night parades," said the old
circus man, Eve used to have big
eighteen-foot giraffe carry torch, and
there wasn't anything in the whole
procession that attracted more atten-
tion We had a torch made specially
for him, with an extra long handle
with a grip piece abort midway of its
length which the giraffe held in his
mouth. The handle rose six or eight
feet above the giraffe's head, so that he
carried the big torch about twenty-five
feet above the ground. The lower end
Of the handle was steadied by means
of strap made fast to 1t and buckled
around the giraffe's neck.
eve had at that time a steam cal
liope, one of the first ever carried In
a circus. don't know but what 1t was
the very first, and we used to have the
giraffe, carrying the torch, march be-
side the caliope. You've seen men and
boys marching alongside the band at
night carrying torches for the music
ians to see their notes by? Well, we
had the giraffe march beside the cal
liope to light the music for the calliope
player. In order to make the calliope
outfit fit the giraffe we had a wagon
built with a broad wheel base, SO that
we could safely carry the platform
that the calliope stood on up high; but
1t looked as though we had the giraffe
carry the torch for the player because
that was the only way we could get the
light up to him.
"You know, the calliope in those
days used to get the people tremen-
dous; the calliope itself was
great card; but when you come to see
the professor sitting up there on the
platform playing away on the key
board, with his gaze fixed on the music
In front of him and every now and
then turning over a leaf and then
pouncing down on the keys again so
Us not to lose the time, while all the
while the giraffe was marching
solemnly alongside holding the torch
as near as he could so that the pro-
lessor could see the music! Um--m,
Well! The people Used to just go wild
over it, and I'm not so certain myself
but what it was the greatest thing we
ever taught the giraffe to do"

Tipping Very Like Gambling.

New York caterer, when speaking
Of the tipping evil the other day, said
that he would like to abolish 1t in
his place, but that this couldn't be
done.
Il give my walters s25 month and
their board" he continued" If were
to offer them $50 with tipping pro-
hibited they would one and all go
away. Yet l doubt whether they
average 81 a day, which is less than
the difference in tips. My place is a
modest enc, you know, and few tips
are higher than 10 cents. Many OF my
customers, too, are women who seldom
tip at all.
I'm my opinion tie attraction In tip
ping to waiter, that is, the reason he
prefers it to higher wages with 1t pro-
hibited, Is the element of chance. He'd
rather have 81 day and the possibil-
ity of making 81 or SO more in tips
than certain 81, not so much because
Of the additional gain involved as be-
cause of the uncert rtainty. 1t has the
zest of gambling. Ee counts each dime
he gets during the day, and when the
aggregate reaches the higher figure
just named, il not the lower, he feels
all the triumph OF {, gambler who has
broken the bank. Take away tipping
and you remove t!sis stimulus which
has added interest to his days work.
and deprive him Of what has made his
toll comparatively pleasure. Even
when he gets less tEan the sum think
my walters average 81, he feels like the
gambler who considered that next to
the pleasure OF WANING was that OF
losing"

Some Common Mistakes.

1t is mistake to work when you are
not in fit condition to do SO; to take
off heavy underclothing because you
have become overheated; to think that
the more a person eats the healthier
and stronger he will become; to believe
that children can do as much work as
grown people, and that the more they
study the more they learn; to go to bed
late at night and rise at daybreak and
imagine that every hour taken from
sleep is an hour gained; to imagine
that if little work or exercise is good,
violent or prolonged exercise is better;
to conclude that the smallest room in
the house is large enough to sleep in.

RElNlkABOO, A NEW WORD.


Washington Is Its ] irthplace and News
paperdoin Itj Stronghold.
"Reinikaboo" is entitled to place
in the next revision of the dictionaries.
1t has grown into She degree of usage
which warrants formal recognition in
the language. Re nikaboo is noun.
The derivation MY be a matter of
some doubt. The definition is clear.
A reinikaboo is newspaper publica-
tion of a certain cl aracter that can be
best illustrated BY something that
gained currency recently. The state
ment was sent out that Secretary Gage
had rendered his resignation. 1t was
as a fake pure and simple The fake
is publication o. what purports to
be news, but which is wholly fiction.
The reinikaboo is not fake.
The Secretary of the Treasury, when
some Of the pronounced bimetallsts of
the Republican patty were criticising
his financial views as not being in &C.
cord with the Adm inistration, said to
the President he hoped he would not
let his position e.nbarrass him. II
the President had been offended with
the Secretary's course and had been
looking for an opportunity to tell him
that his resignatic was desired, the
Secretary's remark would have opened
the way. But 10 wasn't, and he
promptly told the Secretary that he
was not embarrass ed in the slightest
degree.
On this trifling incident was built
the dispatch that the Secretary had
rendered his resig nation. 1t was a
reinikaboo-a statGment of news out
of all proportion and almost out of re-
lation to the facts, and yet having a
certain origin and shadowy foundation.
No other word than reinikaboo quite
describes the kind of publication. Just
why reinikaboo docs so would be diff
cult to tell. AS q word reinikaboo
exists, and applies by common usage.
In the classification of the Washing
ton newspaper man, there are fakes
reinikaboos and real news. The paper
which INDUCES too often becomes a
reinikaboo newspaper.

CHEAP SEWING MACHINES.
Trick Two sharpers Played on the tuiieIoss
Sioux and Chicago White Mon.

Trick Two shnrpers Played on the GuiIeIess
Sioux and Chicago White Men.
Two months ago two young men,
giving the names Of Paul Ray and
John d. Jones, OF Chicago, went to
Rushville, Neb., as agents for a we'll
known sewing machine company, They
we're apparently selling high-grade
machine for $40. They declared that
this was an exclusive offer made to
the Sioux Indians and would not ap-
ply to the whites. They explained
that the scheme was promoted by re-
iigious society in the East, which was
paying the difference between the
manufacturers cost and the price de-
manded of the Indians for the ma.
chine.
One hundred and sixty fine sewing
machines we're sold by the enterpris-
ing swindlers. For each machine $40
was collected. Now collector of the
company has arrived to investigate
the situation. IIe has 100 leases for as
many machines, on each of which $40
has been credited as first payment.
Fifty dollars is still due on each.
The swindle was very smooth one.
In each instance the Indian purchasers
we're required to sign testimonial" in
order that the religious society might
have evidence that the machines had
been placed according to the sales
mems statement. These testimonials
now prove to be the leases which the
investigating agent is looking up. They
are the regulation leases that go with
all machines throughout the country
where they are purchased on time. No
title Is vested in the holder of the
machine under this form of lease. The
Indians who secured machines under
the deal merely rented them, signing
contract with the company by which
they were to secure full title whenever
the money paid in rent, from month to
month, equalled the full selling price
of the machine. Now the agent has
the worst contract of his life trying to
explain the situation and secure the
return of the machines. Under the
company's rules the fist $40 collected
on the sale of a time" machine always
goes to the selling agent, so the head
quarters agent shipped the whole car
load of machines, the young swindlers
delivered them, collected their $40 on
each machine, and Immediately disap-
peared

Tanned by tae Current.

Perzon, the great French lion tanner,
owed his success to the use of electric
ity In tanning his beasts. When a
wild lion or tiger was to be tanned,
live wires were firrt rigged up in the
cage between the tanner and the ami
NAL. After time Perzon would turn
his back. and the Wild creature would
invariably make leap at him, but en-
countering the charged wires. would
receive a paralyzing shock sufficient
to terrorize 1t forever This lesson
would rarely have to be repeated, as
the mysterious shoak was not readily
