CREDIT WHERE DUE.

Tn the hurry of recent events in this Territory with especial refer ence to the prompt response of the . people to the quotacall of President . Mckinley scarce time was given to note properly the credits due in particul.r. The confusion has zone with the departure of our brave boys, and calm consideration may now enter in calculating those credit marks.
 First, always first, prominent and supreme, is the deot of grati- tude and honor the Territory owes to the men who hesitated not m answering the call. Even though many struggled to be first, and the demand was greatly exaggerated by the supply, this does not take for an instant the reflection of the glory of those chosen. Arizona is indeed to be envied because of her record in this war
 Frst to respond! First to com plete her quota! First at the rer- dezvousl First at the front. These quick movements have won for Arizona the recognition of the United States, and today we ale reaping reward Tn the knowledge oI duty we'll performed, and in the acknowledgements and encomiums of the people through the medium of the press everywhere.
 There is a guiding hand in every move of life, a master spirit at the helm in every emergency. Where necessity arises there also looms nI the man for the occasion, Any other man in the same official po- gition might have accomplished al as much, and as quickly, perhaps

STRANGERS visiting Arizona, who obtained their opinions of the country from reading the Arizona Kicker and similar literature, are always surprised at the real con dision of affairs here and of our .wonderful resources. When you tell them that Arizona today has the largest unbrokcn forest of pine timber in the world, they look upon the statement with the greatest in- credulity. yet such is the fact. The forest extends along the Mogollor
 mountains, reaching for fifty oI

DoN'Tjudge a man by his clothes.
 God made one and his tailor made the other. Don't judge 8 man by his family. Cain belonged to a good family. Don't judge a man by the house he lives in, for the rat and the lizard often inhabit the grandest structures. When a man dies they who survive him ask what property he left behind; the angel, as it bends over the dying man, asks what good he has sent before him. Judge a man by his actions.

Adventure with u Snake.

Some OF the branches of the Orinoco,
though very deep. are narrow. so that
the tops of the trees meet overhead,
producing the effect upon the voyager
OF passing through q tunnel. From
these overhanging branches the great
water boas hang head downward, wait
ing to seize any prey that may pass on
the current beneath them. "A party
OF u.s." says a recent traveller, were
coming down one of these streams in
. courel (dugout). padded by Indians.
and, from time to time, an English
man OF the party. named Yeo, fired his
rife at some snakes. The rest Of Us
had cautioned him never to fire at my
snake until after w had passed II: but
with true English self-suflciency he
acknowledged our advice by firing at
q large boa hanging from n limb Just
as the n was beneath 1t. He hit
the snakes body. but did not break its
limb the boa dropped plump into the
boat. AS nobody cared to share the
canoe with a writing. t~wenty-foot boa,
every man went out Of the craft as
suddenly al the snake had dropped in.
The boa glided into the water as soon
as he could pull himself together, and
made for the shore. Those OF us who
were on the same side OF the canoe
with the snake made haste to swim
around TO the other side, and We all
got safe aboard before the alligators
found out what vas going on. Yeo,
who had swum to a dry tree root and
perched himself upon It. was the last
man to be taken In. We didn't hurry
a bit about going for him, but gave him
q full half hour there to reflect upon
the wisdom Of sometimes taking ad-
vice."

AT HOME IN THE WATER.

A souti, sea Islander Who Swims
Like ~ Fish.
A native living In Nawiliwili, district
of Lihue, OH the island of Kauai. whom
every one knows as Johnny, but whose
family name is Kualoki, is a peculiar
character. says the Hawaiian Gazette.
Johnny Is a remarkably good swimmer.
and. it is said, was at one time very
much addicted to the habit Of stealing
ducks from various people. His method
was very simple. He would hide III
the bulrushes along the edges of the
duck ponds and would from time to
time dive out where the ducks hap
penod to be. snatch n or two from
the surface, push them into a bag and
swim back again to the rushes, there to
take breath for another sally. In this
way he succeeded in making quite a
comfortable living. However, he has
given up his crooked ways and now re-
sides like a peaceably inclined citizen,
relying on work that Is given to him
from time to time. When out on n
hunting or fishing expedition there Is
no better man on the island OF Kauai
than this same Johnny. B%arefooted,
he will climb all over the dangerous
pals that fall away abruptly and end
thousands of feet below in the sea. The
festive goat itself is not more active.
and when hunting for this kind OF
game he Is an Invaluable man to chase
the animals round to q point of van
tage. AS a diver there are few natives
even who can beat him. In diving af-
ter Holsters he has the very uncomfort-
able habit Of swimming a great dis
lance into the caves that have no open
ing above the water. Beneath the
rocks of these places he will feel
around, never failing to come to the
top bringing with him something to
make glad the hearts Of the house.
