signature was forgery. He did 56 and the case was set for trial at St. MichaelS on September r..
 Speaking of sure1hing games, he says it is fact that there is lots of crooked work going on and the unsOphisticated are robbed frequently. As an illustra- tion, he related an incident of a sharper who turned the anxiety of the discour- aged to his own financial profit by using a little wit and lots of nerve.
 There are many whose funds are run ming low, and are very anxious to get out of the country. One day the sharp, who went to Nome with a good supply of counterfeit steamship tickets, opened up an office for their sale and hired d sandwich man to carry q sign bearing the legend First Class Tickets to san Francisco $I0." That was considerably below the prevailing rate and he dis posed of loo tickets. netting him $5,Ot0. That night he took passage for soma- where and has never been heard of since. When the ticket holders began to make inquiry they learned that no such boat at that mentioned on ther tickets had ever cass anchor in Nome.
 Among other things that MT. Freeze has in mind at the present time is 6 possible trip to Siberia. Rich gold dis coveries have been made there lately and it is only a short trip across the Behring sea. He has therefore applied for a passport which will doubtless be issued, giving him entrance to Russian territory and which will be sent to hi n at Nome. If there is rush to Siberia in the spring he may follow the crowd and place himself under the protection of the officials of the czar's domains. Anyhow. he is going to take the long chance and fasten as many strings to his bow as possible.

THE BELGIAN HARE
Many of the Toothsome Animals
 Raised In This Vicinity.

Although tha Belgian hare business may never become a profitable industry in Arizona. the toothsome hare will probably become as common as the juicy bullet, and as popular, as a food. A few days ago a Republican representative mad rough count of the number of rabbitries in this vicin
 ity, and found that not less than one hundred and fifty people in Maricopa courtIy. and in all likelihood as many more, have from one to fifty pairs f hares. Two years ago the B lgian hare was practically unknown in this terri tory. but since then has ingratiated himself with thousands of people who have tasted his flesh. In California the hare business has been taken up on a largs scale ana is greatly overdone. the fear being expressed that the mar velousIy rapid reproductive qualities f the hare will soon cause such an over supply that he will be no longer valua- bIe and thousands of his progeny willbe turned loose on the country will cause such a pest as that of the rabbits which devastated Australian crops q few years ago. No such damage, how evlr. is anticipated in Arizona, and the succulent white meat of the hare is apt t0 continue a luxury for some time. A new field, too. has been found for the product of the rabbitry and the flesh which so much resemblls the white meat Of a chicken, is growing in de- mand from meat packers who put 1t UP and pass it out as canned chicken. There are various methods of cooking the hare and he can be served in as many stylJs as can a chicken. But comparatively few Americans know the meaning of the term ''jugged hare but every true Englishman knows the significance of the term, and appre ci-

DEMOCRATIC INSOMNIA
The Faithful Were Afraid to Go to
 Sleep Last Night.

Wherever one went last night he found democrats. There were long rows Of democrats lined up in front of every bar People coming from prayer meeting found democrats obstructfng the church steps. Some were at the show some were taking rides on the street cars, some Were sitting on curb stones and some Were leaning against telephone poles. All of them were sober and all were awake. A Republ- can reporter met three of them at 3 o'clock this morning. You're up pretty late" he said. Yes" replied one of them. "Ain't you going to work tomorrow?''
 "Oh! yes: we're going to work: you bet your life we're going to work"
 Then why don't you go to bed and go to sle=p?"
 "We ain't sleepy"
 The fact vas, every democrat II town was afraid to go .o sleep. He was afraid some other democrat would cut his throat to hinder. delay and prevent his appearance at the primaries today.

BACK TO NOME CITY
W. A. Freeze Again On the Trail of
 the Aurora Borealis.

w. A. Freeze left for Los Angeles last light and after couple of days visit in that city he will go to Seattle and outfit for a winter season in Nome City. Alaska
 The average adventurer pursues h's course in the direction of natural sug- gestion and therefore travels to an un- inviting cline at the most favorable season of the year, expecting to return at the seasons close, But it will D ? noted that the average adventurer does not make a success of life. Therefore Mir. Freeze has chosen the opposite line of conduct and while hibsrnating und er the arctic circle will try and do som thing for the benefit of his bank ac- count. 70
 Having made one trip to Nome and taken careful note of the conditions as well as having made some investments he is probably as competent as any man can be t. prepare himself for the rigors of a northern winter.
 In short, AIr. Freeze is infatuated with Nome and readily admits it. H. is satisfied there is lots of gold there, though of course there are many claims that will prove worthless. He has an
 
 a good showing during the summer and though thousands will leave on the approach Of winter there are other thousands hat will remain to guard their interests as well as for the ad- venture uf the thing. The novelty 0f d life where money rolls high is in itself an attraction. There is quick action on investments or none at all. To illustrate, the day his party of four arrived he first looked out fer sleeping ace and found 9 cot and blankets-but no pi,- low-fcr $4 per night. Next morning the party breaEfasted on ham and eggs at $2 per plate. Later they put up a boarded tent and managed to fix them selves so they could live for about $2 per day by doing home cooking
 Among other things that attract MT. Freeze to Nome is an interest in q gold claim and a lawsuit. Shortly after ar irving there last spring himself anI partners procured a bond on a claim which joins a property from which $750. GOO was taken out last year. though little work was yet done on this claim. The next day after they secured the bond the owner struck it so rich he practically went crazy and changed his mind about selling. He conferred with his friends, who told hiE to deny hay ing given the bond and to swear the

The in terior of the ball room was elabOrately decorated with smilaX and red carna- tiOls and roses, the color emblematic of the order, and the rose being em- blematic of the order. The chandeliers, shaded by deep crimson drap-ry, cast a soft tinted light throughout the hall. Festoons of red and White hung grace fully from the cer5er to the four cor rers, giving a most inviting appear ance. Upon the stage were tables daintily decorated with fern. smilax, and carnations, and here refreshments were served during the entire evening by Raible & Johnson. who pr2ved themselves to be excellent caterers.
 Each guest, upon er,ering the hall, was presented with a red rose or. car nation. thus welcoming all to the first grand ball given by the Modern Lodge.
