KRUcER's JOKE ON THE BoERs

The two latest anecdotes about Pres
ident Kruger are given by the Cape
Times, in a recent issue of that jour
nal to hand by the South African mail.
The first illustrative of the kind of in
cident upon which Dom Paul's reputa-
ton among a number of his burghers
as a Solomon rests, and the other is
proof that the old gentleman is fond
of a practical joke on the more illit-
crate section OF his admirers:
Two brothers had inherited a large
farm, which they were anxious to di-
vide. But the one did not trust the
other, and in the end they went to Pre-
toria to ask the president for his ad-
vice, which was that the elder should
make the division and the younger
should have the right of selection.
Their fellow burghers remarked There
is no question of it; the old presidents
equal to the dead
. The second anecdote is briefly as fol-
lows: Half a dozen back country
Beers had come to Pretoria to see the
wonders of the capital. With charac-
teristic familiarity they paid the pres
ident a visit at the early coffee drink
ing hour, and later on during the day
he showed them over the government
buildings. In one of the rooms an cleo
trio lamp was burning. and as they
were passing out the president, with
his hand on the switch or button, asked
them to blow out the light from where
they stood. The one after the other
drew a deep breath, blew out his
cheeks, and sent forth a tremendous
puff. but all in vain, the light burn
ing steadily as before. Then the pres
ident babe them look, and blowing out
his cheeks, slyly turned the switch
blew, and out went the light. The
Beers were amazed, and as they left
the buildings one of them, who mad
been more observant than the rest. re-
marked. THE president must have d
wonderfully strong breath, for, did you
notice, the light was entirely inclosed
in glass. London News.

skunk trap is the latest innovation
recorded for Mesa. The circumstana res
of the invention are these: One of
Mesa's prominent citizens returning
from abroad recently, found a family of
skunks strongly entrenched under the
gallery of his house. Not approaching
their presence a council of war was
held, and the result was a trap labeled
as follows: skunk trap, made and
patented by Pritchard and Elder. All
infringements prosecuted. Made for
the Electric Seal Co. of Mesa. The
trap was put in place and the skunks
live there just the same.
A ripple of excitement was caused
in Mesa on Tuesday by Indian Jim, a
Maricopa finding horse he claimed
had been stolen in the possession of a
son of ]. b. Wallace, who had ridden
him 10 Mesa. Complaint was made, but
Justice Pomeroy advised him to wait
until tomorrow and the father would be
present also. Yesterday at 10 a. m. the
parties met and Mr.. Wallace explained
that the horse had come to his hay
stack some ten days since. He had
tried to run him off, but finally tied him
up and yesterday his son rode him to
. Mesa for the first time.
