Women and Their ways.

A girl doesn't love every man she is
willing to 20 TO a doIIar-and- -a-haIf show
with.
After a woman maTries man she stops
looking wistfully at him and says what
she means.
When a girl hasa photograph taken show
ing q good deal of her shoulders IL is n
sign that she thinks she is pretty.
The average girl may not be able 70

has washed her boys face clean unless

The enjoyment with which a woman
listens to young man reading out loud
is recalled to him painfully after mar

The GirIRachelor

Does it ever occur To you that many n
maiden all forlorn has profited beautifully
by the more pronounced fioiDgs of her sis
ter-the out-and-out girl bachelor? She's
acquired lots of courage; you may even
see her going TO some evening affair in
troley,all by her lonesome. No hired es-
cort for her! Indeed, the mere sound of
the word CRATES on her ear, seeming about
on par with the hired ssa ssin.-So she
pulls her big cloak about her and settles
back coEtentedly under the wisp of lace
which protects her coiffure while the eco
noInieal trolley hurries her onw ard toward
the festive scene. She has even lived to
be envied by the very young girl, who has
some years OF dependence yet upon her
long-suffering relatives, who tire of play
ing chaperon or escort.

Great strength of the Hair.

II is interesting to others than stats

have laborioUsly calculated the number
of hairs on square inch of heads OF diff

area covered, have arrived a. aggre-
gate numbers, which may be taken as
fairly correct. To show the welI-inten-

DYING of Cold in the Feet.

A New York doctor, noted for mis- sSHl
in treating women, says that TO every
one woman who dies of cold in the head
and its consequent ills three die Of cold
in their feet He says that nine out of
ten colds are caught through the ankles,
aud that if the ankles Were always kept
warm and well protected there would be
great decrease in shifting and sneez-
ing. Women must have found this out,
because they are wearing CATERS this
winter more than they have since the
barbarous time when even delicate con-
sumptives insisted upon wearing bow shoes
through the severest weather.

of the head and the neck. This cloak can
be worn for any occasion that requires a

the bones are dev el0ped, the flesh is

 MT Harmon discovered an old water
 way lined with ruins, which takes It's
 course right down and d1agonally
 through the Yaeger section, across
 corner of what is now Zech's land, a
 corner of Gant's section which lies inn mediately west of Zech, diagonally
 through the Daggs section which Is at the southwest corner of Gant's, and diagonally through Miss Seass' quarter section, which is south of the Daggs land. So. it is seen that this was a diagonal waterway according to the cardinal points of the present day and age and that this dead people con- structed ditches where they would sup ply water to all the land whether it spoiled the appearance of section of land or not. Were there no other evidences in the case which took place years after MT. Harmon discovered this ! waterway, this fact alone that the people who first subdued this desert waste constructed canal down this
 ridge is proof enough that this is abso-
 lutely the best natural waterway through that country.
 MT. Harmon began at the corner where the Goodwin ditch turns west two miles south of the end of the south ern branch, and reconstructed this Az
 tee waterway down to the Daggs cor
 ner and watered this land and the Cant land for his sheep. Two years later, in 1890, R. G. Goodwin filed on the Zech section.
 Col Shultz took Valentine Cant out
 and showed him section 26, as MT.
 Cant wanted to buy. MT. Shultz
 showed him the Goodwin ditch which, as has been stated, ended at the cor
 ner of this section and which was in
 good condition. But MT. Cant, who
 was a man of great experience in
 waterways, both for farming and min
 ing purposes, and who assisted in
 building one of the first irrigating ca
 nals in California, said he could not
 get water on enough of the land
 through this ditch and told MT. Shultz
 he wouldn't buy. He was then shown
 this Harmon ditch, which was in poor condition and half grown over with
 brush. On seeing this MT Cant bought the land on the spot, with all appur- tenances thereto" This was in 1892.
 The new owner rented the land to the Daggs brothers and went back to Cal
 ifornia. Fletcher Schureman and R. G. Goodwin put the Goodwin (Zech) section into grain that year and plowed ! in the Harmon ditch, none knowing
 much about waterways, thinking it was a nuisance and therefore thinking
 MT. Cant would have no objections they dug a ditch around the corner
 in order that the Daggs could have water for their sheep. They them selves watered their grain from a ditch
 which they built straight south from the point where the Harmon ditch in- tersected the east line, what is now the
 Yaeger land.

couple of troopers who had put into loses with lamed and useless horses Randy would have gone headlong to the ground. They caught him just in time, and bore him inside the ranch, where the sight of his death-like face drove Jose almost frantic. But the troopers knew what to do for their officer and speedily brought him round, and when he asked for Dr. Gould they told him of his going, and Randy's next demand was for coffee and fresh horse.
 And while he was slipping the coffee and resting on bunk in the main room. Mrs. Hayne came hastening in with out stretched hands and eyes still dim with weeping. She was shocked at his haggard appearance. She could only press his hand in silent sympathy and struggle hard to beat back the tears that would have flowed afresh. "You will stay here with us now until Dr. Gould returns," she said. "I look for him any moment"
 ''I? No, indeed. I go on at once, as soon as they can saddle a fresh horse for me. She must be more than half way to the cantonment by this time, if Mignon hasn't given out.'
 And then Mrs. Hayne sobbed aloud. "Oh, Randy, Randy. Haven't you Eeard? Floy never regained the road at all. The mail carrier from Cata- mount got in an hour ago and saw noth- ing whatever of her."

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
CHAPTER II.

About this time trouble began to brew in that otherwise peaceful and happy community. Trouble which cost Mr. Cant many tug at the heart strings, many a tug at the purse strings, many a tug at the old mares tug and many a mile of travel. Trou- ble that actually threatened to in volve the whole neighborhood. It is a long story and the bottom of 1t all might be called 'The Ditch That Cant Bought"
 In 1886 the Goodwin boys went out south of Tempe and constructed a ditch from the end of the southern branch of the Tempe canal two miles south, thence one mile west and thence one mile south. In 'S8 Lon Harmon rented the section of land which MT. Cant now owns and also the quarter section which is known as the Daggs land and which lies at the southwest corner of the Cant section. MT. liar mon could not get water enough to suit him on the Cant and Daggs land through the Goodwin ditch. so he con- structed a ditch of his own.
 i For the benefit of those who are not 1 informed it will be stated that the Salt River valley was once inhabited perhaps by more intelligent race than that which now gains subsistence in it. The handiwork of this extinct race can be seen everywhere, cut deer into the surface of the valley or piled conspicuously high above it in the form of great canal systems, through sections which as yet this civilization has utterly failed to water because ot it's great elevation; sections, too, whict 1 if watered, would be as valuable as any farming or orchard land on earth 1 in the form of silent, sombre ruins o public buildings, homes and worl shops In this district, which is un der discussion, these proofs of the pas are exceedingly numerous and grea many pieces of pottery, axes, skele tons, ornaments, household imple ments and many other things hay,
