HAD SOME FUN TOO
N c. Wilson's Trip Not Confined En
 tirely to Getting Lost.

N. C. Wilson, whose awful experience described at length, has been kept busy since his return answering the ques- tions of his many friends and receiving their congratulations. He says he has had a most enjoyable time ever since he succeeded in finding himself at Camp Verde, with just enough hard ship to keep up a good appetite.
 After he rejoined his party George Lyke was sent on to Globe with the wagon and camp outfit and MT Wilson and Allen James went across the cOun- try on horseback to Camp Apache where they were hospitably entertained by A. A. Armstrong, the Indian agent, and a former resident of this city. So pleasantly were they surrounded that they simply laid around and rest ed and got fat, confining their hunting experiences to the time spent in travel ing.
 Incidentally. Mr. Wilson plead not guilty when asked about bear and lion scalps, but he said they had plenty of venison and during their travels killed the old. original turkey that came over in the ark. They boiled him for four days and then he was so tough they could not eat him.
 From Camp Apache they came across the country to Globe and joined MT Lyke and the camp outfit Leaving Globe they started out the Riverside road but at Dripping Springs were caught in a terrible rain storm that washed away what little road there was to begin with.
 MT. Wilson then told his companions they would have to work out their own salvation. but he was off for Phoenix. so he took a saddle horse and rode into Kelvin, where he purchased a pick and shovel and other necessaries for build ing a wagon road between Dripping Springs and Phoenix, sent them back to the boys and came on through alone.
 Messrs. James and Ly1e are expected to get here sometime with the camp outfit but just when is a matter that depends entirely on the weather and how hard they work.

HOW McKee's Cash Store can sell ArbucBle Coffee for 15c when others ask 2Oc.
 WHY they are selling Battle Axe To- bacco at Ale when others are selling at soc.
 WHERE in thunder do they buy q fine Plug Tobacco they can sell at 2Sc? WHEN are they going to stop selling Star Tobacco at 4Sc a pound?
 WHAT kind of a pull have they got with the soap company that they can sell 6 bars of Gala Lily Borax and z bars Laundry Soap for 25c?
 WHENCE comes those Little Gem Hams that they are giving away for 12c pound?
 WHICH is the man to make money faster-the one who pays cash or the one who buys on credit?
 When Murphy, Wilson and Smith are all elected we will stop these slauSh- tering prices, but now they go as long as the goods last or till our inventory on October 15.
 One or the other of these candidates may pull out of the political fight. But we never will on the fight for low prices at the Store That's Always Busy.

Lookinr out For Alma Mnter

No doubt the casual observer has Of
ten noticed how increasingly bequests
flow into the treasures of certain uni
versities. but he may not know that
the alumni of those institutions, partic-
ularly the lawyers, have it always on
their minds to secure, or at least to
suggest, bequests.
One of these men, a prominent cor
poration lawyer of this city, was speak
ing of the custom the other day. He
explained that a lawyer and his client
usually sit down to talk over the gen
eral subject of a will. If the client has
more than enough money to meet the
actual needs of his family, he common
ly says something of charitable or edu-
cational institutions, generally in a
vague way, which makes it quite nat
ural for his lawyer to suggest as a def
inite object his own alma mater. The
lawyer referred to had himself secured
several bequests, one of them for the
sum of 100000. But" said he, smil-
ing, "a young lawyer in my office has
Just cut me out of 100000, which he
put in will for his own alma mater.
1t was very good stroke on his part,
the more 80 because our respective uni
versities have been bitter athletic ri
walls for years"-New York Mail and
Express.

The Stag Beetle.

AS you walk by the hedgeside a
strange noise suddenly arrests your at
tention. 1t is the buzz of an insect,
but loud enough to startle you. 1t
might be mistaken for the reeling of a
night jar, but it is perhaps more like
the jarring hum of fastly driven mo-
tor car.
The reason of the noise is that the
beetle has with great pains climbed up
a certain height from the ground, and
in order to ascertain whether he has
got far enough, he erects himself on
his stand, lifts his wing cases, shakes
out his wings and begins to agitate
them violently, turning this way and
that to make sure that he has a clear
space.
If he then attempts to fy-it is one
of his common blunders-he instantly
strikes against some branch or cluster
of leaves and is thrown down. The
tumble does not hurt him in the least,
but so greatly astonishes him that he
remains motionless a good while; then,
recovering his senses, he begins to as
cend again. At length, after a good
many accidents and adventures by the
way, he gets on to the topmost twig,
and, after some buzzing. to get up
steam, launches himself heavily on the
air and goes away in grand style

After a Battle.

In the first aid that is rendered on
the field after a battle nothing is at
tempted beyond the arrest of hemor-
rhage, the application of temporary
splints for fractures and antiseptic
dressing. There is no washing or ex-
ploration of wounds. The clothes are
merely slit up with scissors, not re-
moved, thus insuring protection to the
patients body and saving unnecessary
disturbances. The sergeant in charge
of the collection station has field
companion, a water bottle and a small
reserve of bandages and first dress
ings in his care to replenish the sur
gical haversacks with which the bear
ers are supplied.
Triangular bandages are chiefly used
on the battlefield, made from SO inch
square of linen or calico, cut diagonal
ly into halves. Almost anything that
comes to hand may be used as impro-
vised splints-sticks, telegraph wire,
bark of trees, straw, rifles, bayonets,
lances and so on. The splint, If neces-
sary, is padded with straw or leaves
or grass and is fastened with straps
torn from the soldiers equipment or
with strips of shirt, securely bound
with the triangular bandage. Bound
up with the rifle splint, a wounded
man is made so secure that he can
hardly move a muscle. One leg is
firmly bound to the rifle, and the an
kles are tied together, so that the in
jured limb is almost as rigid as the
rifle at its side.-London Standard.

KILLED CIasricaI auotation.,

In tracing the decline of the use of
classical quotations In legislative bod
les the Boston Herald cites the case of
Edward Everett, who once concluded
a stately speech in congress with a
long, sonorous and superbly modulated
citation Of passage from Tacitus and
then took his seat. No sooner was he
through than up sprang burly men,
Der from what was then a frontier
state Of the west. He had once been
an Indian agent, and no sooner was he
on his legs than he began to pour out
a vehement harangue in Choctaw.
After awhile the speaker called him to
order.
'T don't see why my freedom of
speech should be abridgedw he cried.
''You let the gentleman from Massa-

Rather Cold Blooded.

OF the tactics of infantry there is
no end, but there are some simple
rules for the individual foot soldier to
remember when lost in the chaos of
battle. If you cannot bayonet your
enemy, shoot him. If he goes away,
aim at the base of his spine. But do
not let your attention be distracted
from business by the consideration
that other people are making mark
of you. 1t is your duty to kill the
highest possible number of those op-
posed to you, not to save your own
skin.-"How Soldiers Fight" by F..
