Eating MarnalAde Win the Kurd..

The Kurdish chief and his elder sons Stroked their boards and calculated ''Mashallahi' whenever their European guest put his fork in his mouth. "My father, why does the Firengi eat with a hook?" little Kurd asked at last, but all the answer he got was . smack from his father, at which he cried bitterly. To console him I gave him a spoonful of marmalade, which terrified him; but, fearful of being punished again for bad manners, he seized the spoon and gulped 1t down like a pill, saying, 'AvollA Efendiru." He must have liked it all the same, for soon after ward the father came and asked me what the 'tatli" was. I gave him the pot, which he emptied. Murad then cleaned the knife and fork and shut them with Q click into a patent clasp knife. This put too great a strain on the chiefs curiosity, and be asked to see it clcse. After a careful examina- ton be remarked oracularly, ''In truth, only in Firengistan can they make such things of beauty. "-Clive Bieham's A Ride Through Western Asia"

HAVANA, Feb. 25.-The United States light house tender Msngrove is still here and the naval court of inquiry continues its usual sessions today. Its members hope to go away to Key West late this evening or early tomorrow, but they are not sure which it will be. It is probable that the testimony of the civilian witnesses did not add to the courts knowledge of the circumstances at tending the explosion, the cause of which these witnesses could know nothing, as they were quite dis tance away at the time of the oe- currence.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-[Western Union Bulletin, ? p. m. l-The result of the investigation of the Maine disaster will probably be made pub lie on Monday. Secretary Long says that matters are improving, while the government is making all prep arations for war, he does not expect that it will have to resort to it.
 The Associated Press clings to the idea that the whole matter will be adjusted without war, while the Evening Journal, on the other hand, says that war will inevitably result.
 Highly Sensational 1T True.
 NEw YORK, Feb. 25.-The HMail and Express" prints the following dated Havana today: "While the members of the court will not talk for publication, I am informed on the highest authority that the evil dence of Diver Morgan as to the condition of the Maine shows the Maine was blown up by an outside agency. The Morgan report is yer flied by other American divers who descended today. The court will finish here tomorrow and proceed at once to Key West, to take the testi- mony of the survivors there. It has also been decided not to return to Havana It is believed the decision has been practically reached. The court has decided against any at tempt to raise the ruined battIeship. The Spanish authorities will be in formed If they wish the wreck re- moved from the harbor that they must attend to the work themselves. | This decision gives a better idea of | the terrible havoc wrought in the Maine than columns of description could

 Spain Wants War.
 London, Feb. 25.-According to a special dispatch from Madrld the reports received there from the United States to the effect that pub lie opinion in the latter country is becoming more excited owing to the impression that the loss of the Maine was not due to an accident, are restirring popular feeling here and the conviction is increasing in ministerial circles that the worst must be expected. Continuing the dispatch says: The government has no choice if the United States as sumes threatening attitude, for a prospect of war is popular with all parties and more excitabie newspa- pers are already urging the govern ment to take measures to enable Spain to strike first and give a de- cisiye blow.
 Preparing to Raise the Maine.
 NEw YORK, Feb. 23.-There was unusual excitement about the Merritt Chapman Wrecking Station at Stapleton, S. l., today. Stores were being taken aboard the big wrecking tug I.

In 1891, Mir. Brodie received a touch of the old spirit and was ap- pointed by Governor Irwin to the coloneley of the first regiment, N. G. A. The field was a poor one to operate in however, owing to lack of interest in militia matters and on the executive resigning, Colouel Brodie likewise retired. In case of war he says he will ask Governor McCord to recognize the right of Arizona to muster a regiment of cavalrymen, and with that endorse ment will further request President Mckinley to place the regiment at the disposition of the government at the front. From the feeling man ifested among the hundreds of this old officers acquaintances here and the reputation he bears elsewhere as a man capable of handling men in any emergency, and the good words he has to say of the men who will make up our first regiment, there is no doubt whatever if the occasion comes but what Arizona will move forward with an invincible body and sustain her fair name in having in her First Regiment-stayers.

Colonel Brodie, whom every per
 son in Northern Arizona knows, has
 been resident of the territory for years. He graduated from West
 Point in 1870. and was assigned to
 the lst U. S. Cavalry. h the build ing of Camp Apache he was placed
 in charge of that work, and though fresh from the military college it
 was here that his first stroke in army life gave to him enduring fame.
 With only a detachment of nine men he was surrounded near that post by two hundred Apaches, and after two days siege fought his way out and back to the post. This act was especially commended bJ the secretary of war and official pub lication was made and read before the cadets at West Point. After wards Lieut.. Brodie was stationed all over Arizona and became favor ably known to civilians everywhere. The Indian troubles of the north coming on in the early '70's and the Apaches being subdued in Arizona. be with his regiment left for Wash ington, and in the Bannock and Neg Perces troubles won additional fame as daring cavalry officer. In 1877 he resigned and since that time has followed various callings in civil life. Col. Brodie has been the SUD- erintendent of the Walnut Grove Water Storage Company, and at present is successfully developing l the Crown Point mine, one of the | gold bonanzas of the west. He has also been recognized politically in | many channels, and is with all true and energetic citizen.

WILL ANSWER THE NATIONS
 BUGLE CALL!
The Patriotic Spirit of an Old Soldier Living in Prescott is Aroused by the Danger Which Faces
 the Country.
Ready Again to Heed the Long Roll and Followed by the Firm Tread of Hundreds of the
 Old Guard.

The recent publication of an asso
 ciated press dispatch from this cIty
 detailing briefly the probability ol
 the organization of a cavalry regi.
 ment in Arizona, in case of war with Spain, has been the theme of con-
 versation since its receipt and ere ated likewise lively interest in the
 hope that it may prove to be a real Ity if the sinking of the Maine jus tifes declaration of war. Back ot the patriotic sentiments of Ari- zonars on every hand and the desire to fall in" from every section, a keen and fervent appreciation of the abilities of men to command and lead naturally runs hand in hand with the desire to go to the front to such an extent that capable man those iD short who can command feeling of confidence all along the line-are few in numbers among the military men of Arizona. With the sentiment now prevailing, however, that war seems inevitable, and that this territory will demand the same regard other commonwealths ask, the formation of the Flying First cavalry will be undertaken at the right time and Colonel A. O. Brodis will be at its head. A feeling of pride seems to manifest itself among many recruits" who already have been heard from. while down the line of veteran ranks, applications are pouring in for the muster roll under Colonel Brodie's command il agaIn he is called to the saddle.
 Yesterdays brief but loyal tele- gram was received by this old officer from Ogelsby, California, from the old first sergeant of a troop of the lst U. $. Cavalry, again offering his services to his commander, and say ing further he was ready to come to Prescott at once for duty. This old trooper is on the retired list, but like many veterans the spirit of devotion to a sacred cause burns fercely and they again fall in. From every part of Arizona likewise are mes sages being received by Colonel Brodie offering assistance, and if Arizona is permitted to furnish her quota of men we will have one of the strongest and best fighting cay airy regiments in the service, Lot to mention also an organization that will be ofhcered by careful men.

Not Because They Might, Hut to Silence
Their OuackIng.

A baggageman on the Santa Fe. who
runs into Kansas City from out in the
western part of Kansas, has lost lots
OF sleep. 1t is doubtful If he can ever
catch up with it. He leaves Hutch
inson at night and reaches Kansas
City in the morning. Nearly every
night he brings in his car two or three
coops of live domestic ducks. During
the night, when he has no baggage to
deliver at small stations, it has been
his habit and privilege to lie down
on an improvised couch and doze.
With the advent of the ducks the doz-
ing stopped. The almost constant
quacking of the ducks, who could not
understand their strange environment,
would not permit of sleep.
For many nights, as he lay awake.
he planned relief He thought of
strangling the ducks or chloroforming
them. But neither expedient seemed
good. One night bright idea came
to him. After he had put it into exc
cution the ducks were silent.
The next night he had two coops
Of unusually vociterous ducks. AS
soon as it came time for sleep he
wrenched slat FROM one of the coops,
reached in, and pulled out duck.
From his pocket he took small rub
ber band, which he slipped over the
ducks bill just back of the nostrils.
The duck tried to quack, but the rub
ber band, while 1t stretched little.
would not permit the duck to open its
bill far enouuh to use its tongue. Only
a murmur came from it. One by one
the ducks were muZzled, and the bag
gageman rested comfortably
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received a lot
of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills, and when the bands were
removed the shouts of protest from
the ducks were deafening.
