 The Good Templars last night de bated the subject Resolved, That Bachelors Should Be Taxed. Rev. R A. Hopper said they should be and the taxes should go to the government to pay for the protection they received Harry Hendrix answered that if men were going to be taxed for protection the married men were the proper sub jects for taxation. G. P. Pitkin, a bachelor, remarked that such matters should be left to legislators who knew best how to decide in all matters. As Assemblyman J. c. Goodwin, a bach elor, did not introduce a bill in the legislature year ago to tax bachelors 1 it was his opinion that the negative should have the decision. There was a young lady who made a short speech on the subject. As it is not known what she said, her name will not be published. The reason it is not known what she said is because the two young men of whom the reporter was getting his information were utterly unable to remember what it was This was no reflection on the young lady, but was owing to the fact that whenever the minds of the young men went to the speech it was only to produce a revert }, which to the questioner seemed almost ecstatic, and all that he could learn was that it was a fine speech. It is noticed that the ethics class at the normal will begin the review of the subject, Love" Here are two sub jects which offer a splendid oppor- tunity for review.
 There are two prominent ranchers who live a short distance south of town who do not think a great deal of each other. The other evening one of these men was coming into Tempe when he discovered his CT nemy's COW down in ditch. The COW could not set cut. so the traveller stepped and assisted it out. There is nothing Of thrilling interest, but when so good an illustration Of practical Christianity happens, more should be known of it.
 Perhaps the public has never heard of the TWO A. Us" It has been no ticed that when A. J. Chandler during the last week was passing from the head Of the Consolidated canal to his several sections of wheat on the des- ert, that he pushed just little harder on his reins than his usual hard push: that he was bent forward a little more eagerly; that there was a pc culiar arch of his mustache and con- traction of his eye. and that his horses feet were Q little liehter than their usual featherweight It was be- cause it rained, During the last week whenever A. T. Peters was seen he was absolutely tearing his way through the air. He calculated his orders to his men, passed his friends as though they were stumps, his writing on his shipping bills was all straight lines which had to be taken for what it meant and not for what it was. one moment in one corner of the town h was heard to snort, the next in the opposite corner he was heard to bray. When asked what was the cause of all this stupendous energy, he would an- swer: Don't bother me; I am in a hurry; it rained; don't yo zee?"
