 The people of Patagonia are prepar ing for big celebration on July 4th. A big picnic, ball, etc, are projected. Many are coming from Tucson and elsewhere to j,ip in the festivities, and big time generally is assured.

A Gond Plan.

The California c Jnsolidated Petro- ieuT Company has issued d folder cnncisely setting forth it's objects, which Is the prett'est piece of print ing yet seen in connection with the oil industry, and it is we'll worth read. ing and passing around.
 The plans of this company are more extensive than those of the ordinary oil company, in that they insure to the holder of its stock, profits in all the oil fields of the state, as it owns large holdings in all the fields. It owns the only hydraulic rotary drill- ing rigs ever brought to California and will lead all others in the development of oil. It will keep twenty drilling rigs in operation in twenty fields bet ween Oakland and San Diego. On the first strike of oil its directors are con. tident it's stock will jump above par value, as 1t has her resources of re. venue to raise values. One of these iS royalties 1t owns on 5O00 acres leas- ed to capitalists for development.
 Still further, the California Conso- lidated Petroleum Company has in its treasury two million, five hundred thousand shares of the stock of fifty of the leading oil companies of the state.
 This plan gives the stock holders an interest in the earnings Of all the diff ferent fields. From the view point of the investor this p affords the sur est. safest opportunity for profit it is possibly to adopt.

writer upon naval affairs. Col. 'Hig-

Capt Mahan were Of rather personal

said that "a rawhide In the hands OF Q

In criticising Capt. Mahan's late

was never any more difficulty about

The bees in seeking honey from the

Col. Higginson is one of the old-style
abolitionists Of New England. His
career has been full of struggle, adven-
ture, activity in many lines, and sue
cess in a few He has now reached the
grand old age of n, yet his mind is as
quick and responsive as it was when
he was adjutant on the staff OF Gen.
James H. Lane of Kansas, nearly Az
years ago. He was born In Cam
bridge, Mass, was graduated from
Harvard in 1S41, and from the divinity
school in 1S47, and at once took up the
pastorate of the First Congregational
church at Newburyport. In 1850 he
left the ministry and became the free
soil candidate for congress. Failing
of election, he took the pulpit of the
Free church at Worcester, but a few
years before the opening of the civil
war he discarded the cloth a second
time to devote himself to the agitation
against slavery.
The beginning of the war saw him a
soldier in active service as captain in
the Fifty-first Massachusetts infantry.
He was afterward colonel Thirty-first
South Carolina volunteers-the first
regiment of freed slaves taken into the
service of the Union, He took the town
Of Jacksonville, but being wounded at
Wilton's Bluff, he resigned his COM
mand in 1864. For fourteen years he
made his home at Newport, but in 1878
removed to Cambridge, where he has
since resided. Col. Higginson's fame
depends chiefly on his articles in peri
odical literature and his poems in his
first volume entitled "Thallato."

AUSTRALIANS HADTO GET BEES

Failure.

Failure.
Eyes, sir, some mighty queer things
occur In the horticultural world" said
the florist, who had just been telling
how chrysanthemums were bred very
much like animals and how it was pos
sible to put stripes on them or MAKE
them almost any shade desired. you
probably wouldn't think that the pres
ence or absence of bees would guaran-
tee the continued existence or the dis
appearance of an agricultural staple
like clover, would you? OF course,yon
wouldn't, and If you tell that fact and
the circumstances OF an actual case
to the average layman he Will think
you are telling him hand-raised, n.y.
brid horticultural joke. 1t isn't joke.
An experiment down in Australia
years ago proved that nothing was
farther removed from fiction. Origin
ally there was no clover in Australia
and not bee was to be found in the
whole country. The people found that
clover would be most desirable addl-
ton to their agricultural products
Glover seed was brought and soWed
The climate and soil were everything
that could be desired and a beautiful
crop of clover was the result. Glover

NEGRO SUGGESTIONS.
Manifold Arc the Evil Omens That Be-
set the Africans Pathway.


Negroes are the most superstitious
race on the earth today. In Africa, IN
The southern states, in the West Indies,
superstition is universal 1t Is note
worthy that all the supernatural ele-
ments, the evil eye, the voodoo, birds
of evil omen and thousand and one
other things that make the negro
yuake, are evil. All spells come OF the
devil and work for harm to the human
race. In all the wide range Of negro
superstition there is nothing which
will be productive of beneficent re-
suits, save only few love charms AMI
dreams which tell the dreamer how he
may find money. Otherwise 1t is all
gloomy and hurtful. Many evil spirits
come to trouble the darby. Borne on
the winds of the night, they are seen
Pickering in the black shadows OF the
trees, in the moonlight, they turn up
leering, hooking, drowned faces from
the eddies and whirls of the great riv-
ers, they abide about lonely plantation
cemeteries and lurk in the deeps OF
woods so massive and thick that
among them is twilight all Of the day.
The bite of "blue-gum niger is as
fatal as the bite of cobra. Nearly
every bird has a supersttious signifi-
canoe attached to it. The heron is
called the DEVILS doctor and is fami-
liar of Satan. The yellow hammer is
under the special protection of his sa-
tanic majesty, who visits his wrath
upon the slayer of the bird. The
screech of the owl near house is the
! precursor of a death in the domicile.
All birds of dark plumage are in league
with the devil. Mocking birds are
kept closely Gagged, as they are regard

go about the country telling all they
know about the family. "Tattle bird
is the vernacular name for the song
ster. The wild goose is a bad-luck
fowl, pigeons are Stunned. The jay
bird is the Evil Ones particular ia

dence between the two. The jaybird
makes trips to hades on one Friday in
every seventh month, carrying in Its
beak material to freshen the fires down
below, and whenever the boss stokel
of hell's furnace can get day off he
comes to earth and consults with the
jaybird about how to proceed to gel
the darkies in his clutches. The jay

Pouring oil on the surface of the
sea when the wind is high has proven
of great service on many occasions.
One difficulty lies in putting the oil in
the proper location. One of the ordi-
nary methods is to sling sack con-
tanning oil over the side of the boat,
This is good as far as it goes, but does
not seem to fill all the requirements of
the situation. A new idea is the prep
aration of capsules made of glass or
other brittle material. These are
thrown from a sling or catapult far to
the windward, and break when strik-
ing the water. The strength of the
shell must, of course, be regulated with
the utmost nicely in order to insure
the breaking of the parcel at the proper
time.

Several members of the Chicago
board of trade have been indicted by
the federal grand jury for defrauding
country patrons. This is wholesome
sign. Only few years ago it was es-
teemed a great honor to even possess
the aroma of the board. The thought
that a member could be convicted of
fraud never troubled anybody. Today
members of the board who induce
others to lose money in fictitious trans
actions are prosecuted like ordinary
criminals.

AOUARlUM'S HAR3OR SEALS.
Ever Playful and by No Means Lacking
In Intelligence.


Lately the ever-playful harbor seals
at the aquarium have been fed partly
on cut-up strips of Goldfish. Their food
is varied from time to time, according
to the market supply of fresh fish, and
according to the. requirements of the
seals themselves. Just now they are
getting some smelts, which the seals
don't like as well as they do Goldfish.
The food they don't like is always fed
to them first, else they might not eat
that at all, but they let it alone as
long as they can without running the
risk of getting nothing. Thus the
other day when the smelts were dealt
out to them the seals dawdled over
up their noses, as though they were not
hungry. 1t seemed as though it might
be necessary to let them have their
way and give them other food entirely.
But presently, when they had discover
ed, and had realized, as indeed, they
quickly did that it was smelts first or
nothing, they nipped them up prompt
ly as fast as they were tossed in. They
might prefer something else, but there
was no doubt about their appetites.
And the harbor seals intelligence, as
well as their playfulness, is something
remarkable. 1t is common thing for
two of the seals to seize the same piece
of fish and tug on it till they pull it
apart, or one pulls the whole away
from the other. The other day when
they were esting smelts, the smallest
of the three seals happened to seize a
smelt by the tail, getting about quar-
ter of the little fish in its mouth. Mel
lie, the biggest Of the three seals, and
the one that has been longest at the
aquarium, tried to take this smelt
away from the little one, but the latter
was too quick; it swung its head away.
along Nellie's side, with the sniclt still
in its mouth, and apparently safe, but
as it came that way Nellie struck it off
with her flipper close to the little seals
nose, and then swung her head round
it and nipped it up and ate it.-New
York Sun.

That the laying of a cable to Manila
will prove to be good business" be-
sides facilitating the sending of army
news, is shown by the strenuous oppo-
sition recently made to it before the
senate committee on commerce by a
representative of British telegraph
company, which claimed to possess
concessions from Spain giving it eX-
elusive landing rights in the Philip
pines until 1918. Of course there is lit
tie hope of the concessions now stand
ing, in view of the complete transfer Of
the Philippines to the United States
but it is interesting to note that shrewd
capitalists see possible dividends in q
Philippine cable.
