AN ACCIDENT CHAPTER
Aaron Lange Has Series of Disasters
 In the Mountains.

Two months ago Aaron Lange. d Californian who has been prospecting in Arizona for some time, left Phoenix for q trip to the mining country around and above Globe. He was equipp q with a full outfit loaded on two burros and accompanied by a Mexican whom he picked up at Prescott. The two men were mounted on horses owned by Lange. At Globe, Lange played the faro bank and lost about $100, all the cash he had with him. He sent to Phoenix for more, but the money order sent him r.iscarried and he was de- tained in Globe for a week, and in the meantime lost $50 more. When his re- mittance finally arrived he took his outfit and trekked for the mountains
 After two days travel Lange was bit ten on the leg by a rattlCsnake. and although he cauterized the wound and
 drank a gallon or more of whisky he almost died, and in his delirium walked about during the night until he fell and sprained an ankle. The Mexican loaded up the burros and they started on the return trip to Globe. Half way back one of the pack animals fell from small cliff, broke a leg and was shot
 Lange could not walk and as the load was valuable he insisted that the

SPECIAL DELIVERY LETTERS
Phoenix People Not Yet Familiar
 With Convenience of System.

It is probable that there are few post offices in cities the size of Phoenix where the special delivery service is patronized so little. In all its other branches the local pOstoffice is a very busy institution, but the special deliV- cry department has not come into any thing like general use. Lack of edu- cation in the convenience of the system is the chief reason for this, although the comparative isolation of PhoenlN is largely responsible. It is safe to say that not one person in ten in Phoenix has ever used the special delivery ser vice and knows of the quick action he can get In the larger cities the spe- cial delivery departments in the post office are driving out of business many of the bureaus originally established for that purposefi from the fact that as quick. or quicker, service can be Ob- tained and at a smaller price. Indeed, the system has done wonders in that it has accelerated the speed of the dis trict messenger boy, whose snail-like propensities long ago brought him into disrepute.
 At the Phoenix office the special de- livery stamps are frequently called into use for letters sent to other cities and from one to sometimes two dozen let ters have been received in a day. but local people have yet to learn the value of the system.
 Wilbur Reynolds is in charge of the service here and uses a bicycle to hasten his work. It usually requires but a few minutes before the time a Sppcial let ter is droDDpd in the box a the postoffice until it is delivered.

Ths Jeffries Children.

There are two or three little beg
gars In Mexico who stop strangers and
home people with the story that their
''father has deserted them and they
want help" These children should
be looked after and taken off the
streets. Visitors to Mexico think il
strange that we have such objects Of
charity approaching everybody. In
this connection we want to say that
while these little children r desefy-
ing of charity, to our certain know
ledge the money given to them is
spent for candy and other things
which are not necessities. or course
this is child-like and the little children
are not to blame probably. At the
same time they ought to be taken of
the streets. We learn they are children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jeffries Its claimed
