PATRIOTIC c APTAIN DAVIS.

From the Arizona Kicker.
We notice that Captain Davis of this
town has telegraphed to New York pa
per that in case of war with Spain lie
can raise 500 stalwart men in this locality
to follow him to victory or death. That s
very patriotic of Captain Davis, and
looks well in print, but it causes gener-
i smile here. He couldn't raise over
fifteen men 10 case of war. We believe
he could raise fifteen men and no more,
and the fifteen would follow him to the
front in hopes of getting back money loan
ed him when he got his first months pay.
The captain is natural born leader. We
are one of the crowd who has been fol-
lowing him around for year past, but
all our efforts to get our 81 out of him
have been futile. Should the gallant Off
Ger take issue with US in this matter he
will find us at the Office any time after
s o'clock in the morning.

The evolution of tho sideboard.

The dresser began service in the
kitchen as table, advancing until it
was composed Of top and two shelves
below, supported by four legs. 1t was
then used not SO much as a place for
dressing the meats as serving table,
on which dishes were placed before be-
ing allotted to the members of the
household. At later period portion
of the dresser became inclosed, and aft
or that an extra shelf, with sometimes
hood, was placed on it. 1t was not
then an article of kitchen furniture, but
stood in the hall or living room. AS
result of the desire to reduce the guam
tity of furniture in thehall the credence
and dresser were combined as one arti.
Gle, with closet and shelf below and
several shelves above, the whole sur
mounted by canopy. Then it was like
some of our sideboards, though 1t wal
not known by that name until the eight
eenth century, when 1t assumed tht
long, low table form, with drawers ant
cupboards below. The name sideboard
prior to this had. however, been applied
to tables as early as the sixteenth cen
fury. -Architectura Record.
