Range News: In the list of cattle

Range News: In the list of cattle sales published on other page Of this issue mention Is made of several tran sections in whieh the price fixed for two-year-ods was S25 or close to that figure. Stockmen of this part of Ari- zona claim that our cattle are better than the ma aiority of Panhandle stock and are beginning to inquire why they should contract two-year olds at SIS when Panhandle cattlemen re- ceiye s23 to S25. The difference in freight does not begin to account for such disparity in prices Then where does it come in?

HIDES A ND HORNS.

Globe Belt: w. T. Lewis, an old resident O the county, who has lived in the Sierra Ancha for number of years, engaged in the cattle business, died on Monday last at the Globe lodging house, after an illness of seve- ral weeks.
 Globe Times: Robert Sloan, solid COW man from the McMillan range, was in town during the week Bob isn't kicking in the least about getting rained on along the trail. He said those yearlings fairly laughed when the water began to fall.
 Courier: Jerry Sullivan shipped twenty-eight carloads of cattle from Glendale over the North and South yesterday morning It took four en- zines to get the train over the noun tain. This is said to be the biggest trainload of cattle which ever went over the road.
 Tempe News: Lon Harmon and Fred Oliver came in last evening from the Verde cattle ranges where the spring rodeo has just been completed. Mir. Harmon says that the late rains have placed his range in first class condition and that he will have plenty of feed. The calf crop is the best in years.
 Gazette: MT. Cox of Sacramento, one of the largest cattle dealers in California, is visiting Phoenix on business. Mir. Cox is the owner of 75,0O0 head of cattle. Away back in the early days of California the gen. tleman was business partner of k. H. Pratt, the father of B. N. Pratt of Phoenix. The gentleman is here for the purpose of purchasing fat cattle to supply the trade in California.
 Graham BuIletin E. A. Von Ar nim, manager of Col. J. H. Hampsons cattle interests in Graham county, re- turned lately from Washington. DC, where he went to learn the intentions of the interior departments in regard to the granting Of range privileges on the San Carlos Indian reservation. Though accorded courteous hearing, he obtained no positive assurance that the grazing tax would be reduced. Before returning, MT. Von Arnim visited the City of Mexico to confer with Col. Hampson.
 Stockman: H. NJ. Long, promi- nent cattle buyer well known in Ari- zona was ia Tombstone this week after a trip from the valley interview ing cattle owners. MT. Long stated to Prospector reporter that the cat tie in Cochise county could be classed among the best in the territory. They are in better condition generally and easily kept up. MT. Long ac- counts for this because of the fact that Cochse county is more favored with better ranges and more feed. Many of the other counties of the ter ritory are suffering for water and while Cochise also needs rain there is DO suffering or danger of much losses.
 Range News: Alta meeting of stock men held in Wilcox Saturday an im- portaut move was determined upon. The convention was in answer to q call signed by three of the leading stockmen of the district, and the ter ritory which the promoters of the movement sought to cover comprises the valley and adjacent passes from the Chiricahuas north to Sierra Be- nita ranch. There was gratifying attendance and the proposition sub mitted was, after due discussion, en- h,, a1 fnhn nation

needs and requirements of the body.
All its effort was to guide the heart and
mind. The body might stumble along
anyhow, and it generally did.
Many sweet-faced, modest minded
young girl has had her first doubts of
the goodness of Providence come in
through the door of physical suffering.
cWhy must / suffer in this way?" she
asks, vWhy does my back ache, my head
rhrob and my side pain, so that / am
room and forego the pleasures which
belong to my season of life?"
NO ANSWER COMES
as a rule to these questions. The young
woman looks around and sees scores of
similar sufferers. She is told it is part
of the burden laid upon women, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.
This is all mistake. Proper train
ing, proper physical care would many
times prevent these miserable condi-
tons. But in any case, however dis
tressing the present condition, it can be
cured by the Use of DIR. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription, if it is disease durable
by medicine.

..The Gentle Dove"

l am'almost afraid to say that the
great amount Of kind feeling, sympa-
thy and regard bestowed upon doves
in general is wasted upon the unde-
serving. To all keepers of doves and
pigeons the pugnacious disposition ex-
hibited by birds Of this class is well
known, although the means of infiict-
ing injury upon each other is some
what limited in consequence of the
comparative want of weapons. Not
being armed with claws, spurs and a
powerful beak like most gallinaceous
birds, they not only do battle with a
somewhat weak bill, but strike each
other with the wing joint. The heavy
blows thus inflicted by the aid of the
powerful pectoral muscles would per-
fectly astonish any one who received

other, they are prone to quarrel. fight

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is no.
thing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Old-fashioned Training
Its Strong and Weak Points.

The strong point of the old.fashioned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. cBe good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi-
ton. She was good. Her soul was
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was indebted. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the

UNDER THE caves.

Hidden by dusk and dust they lie
Under the spacious caves;
Rusty and broken and all awry,
The castaways Of years gone by,
The gloomy depth receives.
Leather bound books Of quaint design
With yellow and well frayed leaves
(Chiefy telling Of things divine),
A cracked decanter enlabeled wine"
Under the gloomy caves;
A tiny cricket, broken chair,
A brindle cowhide trunk,
A strange old stove, so rough and square,
Filled with rusty cooking ware
And other kitchen junk;
A little cradle, rude and plain
How fancy round it weayes
The tale OF mother Joy and pain,
That all these feeting years had lain
Under the gloomy caves;
And so to each poor castaway
Some tender fancy cleayes,
The gentle voice that oft did say,
"Oh, save it yet another day!"
Under the spacious caves.
