Gray of Phoenix says that other sec tiCns of the country differ materially from Phoenix. He estimates that only about thirteen per cent. of the claims sent in from Phoenix are granted The commissioner recently employed twenty-fOur clerks whose duties ex- clusivoly are to reject applications. If rejections were made on the basis of the Phoenix percentage it would re- quire a small army of these clerks to assist the commissioner of pensions.

Icy. For years the small boys Of the l -ity have guyed this redskin. The In- i iian loses his temper and gives chase i 10 the boys. Tn this way he accumu- ates a large crowd of them. which ire luemtly dispersed by the police Of icerS. But the Indian was never fleet enough to catch one of the boys until asst night. He caught the Mexican boy md calculated to make an example of 1im. The boy fioored him quickly. hen made his escape. This will give to the other boys and at the ame time make the life of the Indian miserable from now on.
