A STAR REPORTER.
The Texas press is passing around
the story of a young man who thought
he had a call to journalism. He prob
ably got the idea from having once
been the correspondent from Backout
to the Bungtown BaZoo before the
woods burned. He applied to the ed
itor of a daily paper for a position as
reporter and the following is his
first and last report for that paper:
"A bad boy caught a dog with freckle
face and red hair bent on having fun.
after fixing him up to his liking sent
the poor creature down the street
bowling at every jump. He ran over
a horse with tin can tied to his tail
and the horse took fright and tore off

rying bucket of milk with a buggy
wheel and broke her ankle at the cor
ner of Fifth street. and doing other
great damage besides splitting the
milk. which was not stopped till the

stroke of lightning with a fence rail on
his shoulder, so far back that, but few

THE GHOST WALKS.
A ghost has made its appearance at

habitants in that section of the terri

throws stones. This should not ter

The ghost should walk regularly in ev-
cry print shop and throw out the rocks
to the hungry printers. In some shops
the ghost doesn't walk as often as ~
should, but that is the fault of the de-
linquent subscriber. Perhaps If these
printers of Arizona who have not seen
the ghost walk in so long a time that
this one terroriZes them, would in
duce this stone-throwing ghost to go
chase up the dennquents they would
have more chance to form the ac-
quaintance of regularly walking

where the rollers get as hard as roll

be a day set apart for the ghost to
walk and he should have his pocket
full of rocks when he starts.

About Thermometers.

OF all liquids used in thermometer,
mercury is the most useful, because IL
is easily obtained pure and because its
expansion between-36 and 100 de-
grees centigrade is regular, that 10.
proportional to the degree of heat.
But for temperatures below-36 de-
grees centigrade (-32.S Fahr.) the al
cohol thermometers must be used.

especially used for low temperatures.
for it does not solidify at the greatest
known cold. 1t Is as a rule reliable.
but the law Of expansion OF alcohol In
glass at low temperatures is not
known with such precision as to make
the lowest readings entirely trust
worthy. This, of course, applies to tho
best thermometers, those in the manu-
facture OF which the greatest precau-
tons have been taken. In making the
cheap thermometers no such care ia
taken, and the result is that while two
or more of them may agree at or about
the freezing or the boiling points,
which are the standards, there may be
very wide divergences at intermediate
temperatures or at temperatures be-
low freezing.

WAGERs TO AVOID.

Bets That Are Sure Things to One tide
~ Indicated Here.
Bets to be avoided by those who arr

those relating to athletic feats. Il
would seem that a good runner cou16
easily give fifty yards in a hundred to
a man who was doing tho fifty BY
hopping on one leg. But few runners,
If any, can afford to give that amount
of start to any man who is at all
strong on his legs. For tho first five
yards or so they 60 at practically the
same pace, SO that to run ninety-hve
yards while his opponent is hopping
forty-flve he has to go more than
twice as fast, and 1t is a weak man in
deed who cannot hop fifty yards in ten
seconds. An ordinary wooden match
is easily broken in the fingers, but al
though there are many who will bet
they can do it, none succeed in accom-
plishing the task If the match is laid
across the nail Of the middle finger Of
either hand and pressed upon the first
and third fingers Of that hand, despite
its seeming SO easy at first sight. No
