Fry is not uncommonly used in this sense in the west and southwest of Eng land. It is a local form of prise. to force open by means of a lever. You may "pry up" a nailed box lid with a chisel. ''pry open" fastened door with Q crowbar, etc. Another American in- stance may be found in "Farm Life In New York" Scribner's Magazine, vol ume IF, No l. where a barn which must be moved was "pried up" by levers and jacks to enable a sled on runners to be placed under it

Colonel Mecord,s Regimeni.

The Phenix Herald contains the following very complimentary but merited mention of the troops now stationed at Whipple:
 It IS growing pretty certain that Colonel MeCord and his regiment wIll be retained In the service for some time. The policy of the war department seems to be to muster out those regiments that have be- come weakened by seryIce and those who by majority vote desire to be mustered out. In Colonel McCord's regiment there are few men who could not serve three years fl need he without serious inconvenience. They are almost all experienced DIG neers, fighting men of many an en- counter with Indians, and the form CT lawless element of the frontier. The regiment, if it is eyer called upon to do duty under fire, will make record that will not be sur passed by any body of men yet sent into service. Colonel McCord is himself fearless, cool, cohsiderate man, who would lead his regiment wherever men dared to follow and wherever necessity called. It is to be regretted that his regiment q : not go into service early enough to participate in hostilities either in Cuba or the Philippines, for 1t Is certainly one of the most capable bodies of men ever called into ser vice and ofhcered oy men who are most capable and efficient. The men are hardy, are inured to life out of doors under the most trying condi- tions, for hundreds of them are miners, prospectors, cattle men, teamsters, and that sort of men whose lives are spent amid hard shipt as great or greater than they are ever likely to undergo in the service, and their freedom from lia- bility to attacks of ordinary com plaints would be far more than usual. The regiment should be sent to the Antilles or Philippines.

Rerr.. sscr.. or suossaa.

There was once a man out west of the name of Boggs, and everything went his way. He was So fortunate As to be the object of much curiosity and com. ment among his associates and acquaint- anoes. who asked him how he played his game. Mir Boggs replied that he worked on a theory that was left him as legacy by his father. who was one of the most successful men be had ever known. He divided his property among the other children, and to his eldest son. John Boggs he left the family Bi- ble as a token of his love and confidence and added that within its pages you will find the secret of my success in life"
 Boggs vas a good deal put ont. but he had 0 philosophical temperament. and nobody discovered his chAgrin and his feeling uf envy toward his brothers and sisters, who divided the real and personal property. The next Sunday. having nothing potter to do. he took down the Holy Wand from the shelf snd, turning over its pages discovered . scaled envelope which bore his name written in the well known hand of his father. Tearing it open, be found a shoIt but significant sentence upon ( sheet of paper. In telling his story Boggs said that he had faithfully fol lowed his fRther's dying injunction. and the theory which the old man had prac- ticed so successfully had been equally valuable to himself
 Then, of course. everybody sprang uT and inquired what was written on that piece of paper.
 "Oniy this" said Boggs: "'Lots of good things are lost by not asking fta them. '"-Chicago Record.

A New Wagon Road '.

There Is good move on foot now, and one which if carried through. as 1t DO doubt will be, will rebound greatly to the benefit of Prescott. as we'll as to a large section iu the southern part of the county. IL is for the construction of 8 more di- rect wagon road to the Bradshaw mining district. The road, as con templsted. will leave the Peek road at CampbelPs station on Turkey creek, and will connect at Pine creek with the Walnut Grove road to Minnehahs, Tiger, Rapid Tran sit, Crowned King, Gro Bella, Old Reliable, Star and Eclipse (Luke's) mining camps.
 The construction of this road will effect a saving of ten or twelve miles over the present road to Crowned King and will go around the noun tain at a lower altitude. where it will not be subject to snow block sdes, as the present road is. The cost will be about S50O0 and eiti- Zens of Prescott are asked to cen tribute Sl5O0. The Crowned King Mining company will assist liberaily in its construction, and with this aid to it the supervisors will make a county road of it.
 A subscription paper is being cir eulated among business men here now for the purpose of raising the above amount, and it -meetirs with hearty response.

THE "BLoUNT FLAG" UP AGAIN
An Old Glory Lowered in Honolulu in 1893 Again Floats to
 the Breeze.

The Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu in its issue of August 13 gives the following concerning the flag raised there on the preceding day:
 "When Paramount Blounp or dered the American flag hauled down from the government building in Honolulu, on the lst of April, 1893, it was taken on board the Bos- ton and passed into the possession of Lieutenant Lucien Young, be re- placing it with another. Lieutenant Young was possessed of an abiding conviction that sooner or later there would be a call for that lag to -9 up again, and he has carefully guarded 1t eyer since against the time when it would be needed. Tn May last he was given command of the converted yacht Hist and ordered to Cuban waters. Just be- fore leaving he delivered the prec- ious flag to Lorrin A. Thurston with the request that Mir. Thurston use his best endeavors to have it re hoistsd on the same flagstaff from which it had been hauled down. Be fore leaving Washington MT. Thurs ton saw President Mckinley and told him of the circumstances con- corning the flag and received the presidents approval of the proposi- ton. The Hawaiian executive also took the same view of the matter, and consented to use this flag for the purpose indicated.
 "In April, 1893. the present court house was used as the executive building, and it was from its staff that the flag was lowered at that time.
 At the same time that the Ha- waiian flag. was yesterday lowered from the executive building, its companion on the court house kept it company, and simultaneously with the rising of the Stars and Stripes over the former building. "the flag that Blount hauled down" rose proudly to its old position, and hoated once more in the breeze from which it had been tern, over five years agU.
 "The historic flag will be pre- served as one of the most interest ing mementos of the occasion.
 Lieutenant Young has been mak- ing a magnificent record for himself ID Cuba, but the knowledge that this flag has been used for the pur- pose for which he so long preserved it will give him as much satisfaction as to have a successful scrap with a lot of Spanish gunboats."
