Dangerous Fluids.

Benzine and gasoline should never be
allowed to stand in bottle or in any
thing else where the hot sun shines on
1t. Not long ago a house was set on fire
in that manner. Never use either Of
these inhammable fluids in room
where there is ever so little fire. A
match will ignite the volatile fumes ex-
actly as quick as base burner in full
blast We make no apology for this
caution, for hardly week passes that
some one, somewhere, is not seriously
burned by careless use of one or tho
other.

Tom and Jerry, were so much engross- ed in the buying of more expensive gifts that the old form of Christmas observance was neglected.
 A man with a tendency to drink and only dollar or two, is likely to spend it for drink He thinks that so small a sum will buy nothing, anyhow, so he sloughs it off. If he has a respectable sum, something worth while, he natu- rally employs it to better advantage. So Phoenix yesterday was too rich to drink much.
 Amid all the joy and gayety of the season there was one as pitiful thing as ever occurred in Phoenix. Mention of it is made here only that one man will read it and, perhaps, be prevented from letting it occur again. No doubt in his present state of mind he is fully determined that it shall not occur again, but it is a long time till next Christmas. This semi publicity may further impress him
 woman and three children stood on the sidewalk in front of the store of R. Hevman & Co. The man came up and the woman spoke impatiantly, he cause. she had been kept waiting Sc long He said something to her in a Row tone and she made no reply. but the three children set ID each d se1a- rate wall. T wanted tfie'" cried one and another. "T wanted that"'
 You can't have anything" said the mother for We haven't a cent"
 The man is a hard-workin- man with q small salary but 2 big and constant hope of supplementing it by winnings from the gambling table. This hope is not based on anything that has ever happened to him, but it is none the less fixed. On Saturday night he drew Ifs wages, little more than $1O and at supper he and his wife and children talked over the things they would have for Christmas, including dinner much more elaborate than usual.
 They came down town and the father leaving his family waiting on the street while he was attending to some imag- mary business, found himself standing by a roulette table. He hadn't really made up his mind to play, but he got to thinking he might make a dime win S. .5O That would mean more Christ mas. The dime didn't win, there were too many other numbers on the table. Then another dime was risked and an other; the impatient children outside little realizing how fast their Christ mas was wasting away.
 After awhile so much of the money was gone that there wasn't enough left to buy half the things agreed upon and the man was desperate. He would win it back or lose it all. That was what he told his wife in a low voice.

MIR. CHOATE FORGOT.
He Wanted Dante's Inferno But Got
 Twenty Years In South Africa"

You know how, sometimes, a word, a very common word, and one that you have used innumerable times in one way or another, will, of a sudden, en- Jirely escape your mind, and slip, eel like further away when you think that, at last you have laid your men tal hand upon it.
 Thus it was with MT. Choate, our pr sent ambassador to the court of St. James.
 Now MT. Choate is quite as good a story teller as he is a lawyer, or an am oassador, either, as far as that goes. He loves a story on himself, and rel ishes the telling. And he loves a story on another quite as well. Here is the most recent effusion of his-an after dinner affair that not many days ago was sprung at a ban quet in London and brought about his ears thunder of applause that rattled the chunk of ice in the punch bowl.
 MT. Choate said that he went into a book store in the Strand a few days before to purchase a copy of Dante's Inferno" It was his intention to pre- sent the book to a young friend who particularly wanted to read it. Much to MT. Choate'S chagrin, the instant he stepped foot in the store the word in ferno" entirely escaped his mind.
 He told the salesman that he'd be back in a minute and he walked away down to Whitehall trying to think of the last half of the book he wanted. Of course it was Dante's something" |" but Dantes "what?" that was the question.
 Finally he gave up trying to recall the full title and went back to the shop. The clerk asked him what he sought. He made a bold stab. T want copy of Dante's 'Hell,''' he re- piled.
 The clerk darted back to the rear of the store.
 By and by he returned with empty hands. T am sorry" he said, "but we haven't got He'll by Mir. Dante, but we've got Twenty Years in South Af- rica,' by Cecil Rhodes, if that would do.''
 And feeling." concludes MT. Choate that that was practically the same thing, took the book."-Kenneth Her ford in Detroit Free Press

CLOSE OF CERIsTMAs
The Most Enjoyable Holiday Ever
 Observed in Phoenix.

The celebration of Christmas in Phoenix, which has been going on since last Friday night, closed last night with the services at the First Methodist church at which a very interesting programme was presented. The churches endeav- ored, as far as possible, not to conflict with each other in the times of holding their services. This, the most enjoyable holiday of the year, was drawn out over three days.
 There was never such another pleas ant recurrence of Christmas in Phoe- nix, as the one closed last night The weather was admirable and there was plenty of money to buy gifts. The merchants, that is those who deal in holiday good or articles that may be used for Christmas gifts, say they never before enjoyed such a holiday trade. Jewellers, dry goods and cloth ing houses, furniture stores and drug gists all said that their Christmas trade was more than double that of the best previous year. Not only was it heavier in the number of the articles sold, but in the character of them. There was a disposition to make more expensive presents than heretofore.
 This improvement in the holiday trade is attributed to two circum- stances. The first is that times are better than they ever were on any other Christmas. Few were so poor that they could not buy something. The other is that there was great deal of money brought in by the re- cent carnival, in circulation.
 Saloon proprietors, on the other hand, say that their holiday trade was lighter than usual, a fact which they can attribute only to the circumstance that the part of the populace which had hitherto been attracted by the se- ductive egg-nog and the congenial

Pev- erill, 15 Concord avenue, Rochester, N. Y" Peveriu says he has served in the .'Sixty-third Halifax Rifles" and went through the Riel rebellion in 1885. He says of his plans:
 'I am acting on my own respOnsibil- ity I hold no commission from any body It is not my purpose to pay 'anybody's fare across the border. When the Spanish war broke out l came over here to join the American army. Now I have a right to go back to Can ada Then if I like I can enlist.

I thought of doing this and it occurred 10 me that others InlSHl Wdul IO uO llle same thing. l am not even sure that will go myself
 A number of men called on Pevreill but all they got from him was advice. Then the matter was reported tc United States Commissioner Stull, who was asked if Peverill was not violating the law. The result was that Peverill was arrested tonight by the United States authorities, charged with vio- lating the neutrality law by seeking to enlist recruits in this country for ser vice in foreign countries. He will be examined before Commissioner Stul tomorrow.
 Peverill is a Canadian. He has been a member of the First Separate com pany for three months. He was 1T Captain Sherry's Seventh battery il the Spanish war.
