THE BICYCLE STORE,
 TEMPE, ARIZONA.
TO A MAIDEN OF SIXTEEN.

I do not fondly ask from you The qualities of a noble heart, A mind whose thoughts are pure and
 true
 A tongue that speeds no venomed
 dart, A temper sweet or gentle mood, Unselfshness or high endeavor- I do not ask you to ''be good, Sweet maid or even to be 'clever!" I do not ask for poets song, For dreamer's tale, high gifts of
 mind, For orators eloquence fighting
 wrong
 Gifts all no doubt, to you assigned; do not ask for. theories new, Ones powers of comprehension task
 ing, For wisdom or for wit from you CThere would not be much use in
 asking). I do not ask you for the gift All other gifts so far above. I will be brave and make a shift To live my life without your love Not mine to play a lovers part. So, though the omission IS distress
 ing, I do not asK you for your heart, I only ask a minor blessing. I do not ask you when we meet To condescend to notice me, But when kind fate affords that treat Pray bear in mind this modest plea: I do not ask you to sit still, Though in your chair you always
 wriggle, I'd have you do what e'er you will, I only ask you-not to giggle!

PECK'S BAD BOY,

One of Peck's II year old bad
boys was killed at Chester one day
last week by his own experimental
folly. He had been to circus and
was delighted with the way the
cow boys caught objects with the
lassO. He obtained a rope and day
after day experimental. Last
Thursday evening he was standing
at the railroad. He had his lassO
in hand. A Reading railroad
freight train came. As it passed
the boy threw the lariat at the en-
gineer, who had his head out of
the engine window. The moose
fell over the engineers head and
shoulder and frightened. The boy
had one end of the rope tied
to himself. The swiftly running
train quickly took up the slack of
the rope. The engineer could not
throw the moose off and the next
instant the boy was jerked off his
feet and dragged. He rolled un-
der the cars and before the train
could be stopped his life was crush
ed out of him. The boys name
was Frank Beaumont.

/ This is what has made it 30 peculiarly

really been the least important. Land
in parts of Paris and London is as cost

not uncommon in American cities of the

relatively cheap. The causa causans of

WHlSTLING WELLS.
Natural Barometera Which Foretsll Stor,

Natural Rarometers Which Foretsll Storms

A freak of nature which is attracting
considerable attention is series OF
blowing or "whistling" wells located
In the northern part Of the town of Eu.

six of these hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 120 to 160 feet. The one
owned by James Coffin exhibits most
remarkable features. This we'll Is l2O

water placed ON the cover Of the well
will boil. The wind blows out only be-

ration Of the storm are always in exact
proportion to the force of this current
and its duration before the storm COM

Railroad Horror.

A nOrrlDlo run INTO tOOK place on
the Philadelphia and Re elding rail
road, about six miles below Reading,
between 9 and 10 o'clock last Friday
night. whereby 81 persons were kill
ed and fifty odd persons injured.
The passenger train that was run in.
to was behind time when it left
Reading for Philadelphia, and it was
stopped at a place called Exeter for
orders, because of q freight train
ahead to which something had hap
pened. Twenty minutes later a
special train came from Harrisburg
iadened with excursionists who bad
been attending the upyei!iccIs of the
Hartrauft monument. The e1cur-
sion train ran into the train at the
station and plowed through two pas
senger cars. How it came that the
excursion train was not properly sig.
nailed or if properly signaled how its
engineer failed to see or pay atten-
ton 20 the signal is not vet known.
Perhaps the investigation may re-
veal all the blunders that led to the
awful calamity Both the engineer
and fireman on the special locomotive
jumped when they saw the situation.
The tram was speeding along at the
rate of As miles an hour. The engi-
neer in lighting on the ground was
seriously hurt about the head. The
fireman's. back was seriously strained.
There wasn't q yard square left of
the first car struck. All the passen-
gers in the car were injured or killed.
There were few women on the train.
One man taken out had not bruise
or scratch about him. he died from
shock or internal injury. Another
had every bone in his body and head
broken. He was crushed into q
mass az limp IS rag. Some were
pierced through with splinters.
The limbs of others were torn from
their bodies. In brief there was not
an imagined kind of injury that did
not find its real counterpart. There
we're some remarkable mistakes.
Senator Penrose had been in one Ci
the cars that was crushed in the
wreck. He had ridden in it az ia,
as to R. aiding. There be got oui
and lit a cigar. When the train start
ed he went into the smoking Car. Tc
the cigar he owes his life. Had he
gone back to his original seat doubt
less he would have been killed Il
was a sorrowful closing scene of tht
unwilling ceremony of the Hartranf
monument. The most of the people
killed and injured were from Norris
town, Pa, the town in which Gener
al Hsrtranft lived. Many of the pock
cts of the dead and injured were rob
bed of money and clothes and othel
valuables.
