PROVIDE AGAINST FIRE.

The fire last Friday ought to serve
as an incentive for our board OF trade
to make some provisions for svs temat-
ic and prompt action In case Of fire,
II few good pumps we're put In near
the centre of town, hundred buckets
and o few ladders kept at central To-
cation where they could be used on
short notice 1t would furnish means
for putting out fire that In nine
cases out Of ten would prove affective
and save considerable property. The
cost Of such an outfit would be insig-
nificant as compared with its value in
time Of need and certainly no property
owner would refuse to pay his propor-
tion of the expense. The board Of
trade is the proper body to attend to
this matter and 1t is OF great impor-
tance that they take some action in
this respect Immediately.

What W. F. Crowley Is Do
ing.

81
W. F. Crowley il the busiest man
around here this spring. He has thir.
teen men employed steadily setting
out trees taking care Of hot beds and
planting cantaloupes and onions-
He received this week carload Of
the finest fruit and forest trees that
were ever brought into this section.
A large portion of them are Carolina
Poplar which he is having set along
the streets. These trees are said to
be much superior to the cottonwood
tree in many respects being moro
rapid grower, more beautiful in sp-
pearance and much cleaner tree.
Mr.. Crowley is setting out forty
acre orchard Of peach and apple trees
on the farm Of w. NJ. Wiley, two miles
northwest Of town, and also has con-
tracts for setting several hve-acre
tracts in town. He is also adding to
the immense orchard on his own farm,
five acres Of small fruits, strawberries.
raspberrles, blackberries, gooseberries,
currants, etc.
Mr.. Crowley has great faith In max
ing q success Of the fruit industry in
this section and is delighted with the
fine stock he has secured for setting
out this spring.

NATURE OF THE ALLIGATOR
The Reptile Described in Detail by One Who Knows Its Habits
 and Peculiarities. u

An alligator is not an attractive crea- ture. He has not a single virtue that can be named. He is cowardly, treach- erous, hideous. He is neither graceful nor even respectable in appearance. He is not even amusing or grotesque in his ungainliness, for as brute-a brute unqualitied-he is always so intensely real that one shrinks from him with loathing, and a laugh at his expense while in his presence would seem curi- ously out of place, says Appleton's Monthly.
 His personality, too, is strong. Once catch the steadfast gaze of free, adult alligator's wicked eyes with their odd vertical pupils fixed full upon your own. and the significance of the ex- pression "evil eye" and the mysteries of snake charming, hypnotism and hoo dooism will be readily understood, for his brutish, merciless, unfiinching stare s>simply bloodchilling.
 ZCologically, the alligator belongs to the genus crocodilus, and he has all the hideousness of that family, lacking somewhat it's sbloodthirstines ss, although the American alligator is carnivorous by nature, and occasionally cannibal- istic. Strictly speaking, however, the true alligator is much less dangerous than his relatives of the old world> and he is correspondingly less courageous.

 Council bill 36 is MT. Goldwater's l bill permitting cities to enlarge their | limits. It was favorably considered by | the whole committee, as was house bill | 57 on the same subject In short terms, bill 36 requires tie outlying ter
 ritory to ask for annexation to the
 city, while bill 57 requires the invita-
 ton to come from the city If both
 bills pass, in accordance with the rec
 ommendation of the house, the ques- tion of enlarging the limits of Phoenix will be in the nature Of complex. The council considered bills in whole committee during the evening hour, but final action was taken on none.
 MT. Adams house bill 161 to amend the reservoir act passed by the present assembly, was defeated in the house. It came up for consideration just after MT. Adams had stormed the house and "bluffed" it, and the members were in a mood to get even. MT. Adams of fered an amendment to the bill, and while he was writing it the motion WAS made and carried which defeat ed it.
 The house had a republican speaker at the evening session MT. Scott was unanimously elected speaker pro tenn, and as a reward to the democratic ma jority he abolished the rule prohibit ing smoking.
 Mr. Carpenter presented a concur rent resolution that the two houses ad- journ at midnight Thursday, according to the watches of the president and the speaker. The house was inclined to amend so as to adjourn by the clock on the wall, but the motion was adopted.

at all discouraged, however, and she is still hopeful of success in this direction. In her personal appearance Miss Wilkins is small and rather slight, with reddish brown hair and blue eyes. She is extremely dainty and trim in every detail of dress and evidently has all of
 a woman's praiseworthy fondness for looking her best. On suitable occasions she dresses very richly and her taste is far better than that of the usual lit erary" woman.
 Thus far Miss Wilkins has steadily refused toappear in public as a reader
 of her stories, alt hough it is known ia [, she was made several tempting offers to do so. Her refusal has been based on. her conviction that she would not be a success as public reader. She is too shy and retiring for platform work of any kind.
 Miss Wilkins is without father or mother, brother or sister. She was born in Randolph and was educated at Mount Holyoke seminary. Her home was in Brattleboro, Vt, for a number of years, but for the past 16 years her home has been in Randolph, where she lives on the edge of the village in large square white and green house the coun- terpart of which may be seen in any New England town. Here she lives her quiet, busy life, going into Boston oc casionally to accept some of the many invitat tions offered her by the social world. Her books are immensely pop ular in London and Miss Wilkins would be sure of a real ovation if she should go abroad. When J. NJ. Barrie was in America he said he would rather see Mary E. Wilkins than any other Ameri- can writer, and when he reached Bos- ton he went out to Randolph to visit her. There is a difference of opinion as to the permanency of her place in American literature and there are those who think that her work is not of lasting value. However this may be, it is worth much to have the place Mary F. Wilkins has in the hearts of the read ing public of her own day and genera tiOn.
