fl MUNICIPAL MISTAKE
Bennett Addition Found to Be I'm
 properly Annexed.

It transpires that Bennett addition is not a part of the city of Phoenix. It is a good thing that this was not found out until after the taking of the census for it is feared that the town will rot make a good showing at best
 A quo warranto proceeding has been begun by Attorney General Ainsworth at the request of Thomas D. Bennett requiring the city to come into court and show by what right I; Is holding Bennett addition. City Attorney Bull lard and the city council. after having examined the claims of the petitioner have come to the conclusion that the city has no rights. An answer will be filed within day or two admitting all the facts and Bennett addition will be out again.
 Bennett addition was annexed by an ordinance drawn by City Attorney Darby last spring. This was an incl dent of the general rush in which it aD- pears few things were done properly. It appeared upon the face Of things that majority of the property of the addition was represented in the ped- tion for annexation. but in the quo warranto proceedings the petitioner has gone behind the face and has shown by means of abstracts, as the city might have learned. that a major ity of the property was not represented. The same condition of affairs may be found tp exist with respect to other ad- ditiuns taken in by ordinance and tu | aypfd llopll1 S9Ot and eXpeUSiv.. conn plications which may come up in the future it is probable that d general in Vestigation will be ordered.

DOGS KILLED BY A
Humane Method OF Disposlng OF Them
Adontad in Checago.

~A0ko0A18 ga M~
Adopted In Chicago.
The Chicago Humane Society has at
last hit upon a novel but effectual
means Of disposing of vagrant ours be-
fore the heat Of summer sets In. They
are being gathered up from the streets
and asphyxiated by gas. Calls are re-
sponded to by the Humane society
when made by residents Of the city
who may be bothered by stray dogs.
A number of women, who may be actu-
ated by humanitarian impulses, are CO.
operating with the society to gather
up the animals left to wander and
starve along the thoroughfares. 1t is
largely due to their repeated requests
for a milder means of destroying dogs
that the new scheme of determination
by gas has been brought about. They
consider death by shooting an unnec-
e~ssarily painful process. A small
metal tank closely sealed with a tight
owe Is filed with common illuminat-
ing gas admitted by a tube. A small
aperture in the cover permits the air
to be forced out. Into this tank, one
at a time, the dogs are dropped, the
gas is turned on. and in thirty seconds
they are unconscious and In less than
q minute they are lifeless. Two feet
of gas Is considered sufficient quantity
to kill a dog, and the expense amounts
to practically the same as the bullet

wHYTHIs SHOWER OF oARrERa
In Unusual Numbor or h Articles
Lost and Sought.

An Unusual Numbor or the Articles
Lost ana Sought.
Twice in the last week Chicago has
bsen startled by advertisements for
lost garters. This breaks all known
records for one week. Now and then
9 Vagrant "lost" ad. setting forth that
q garter which was once the secret
pride and boast Of some fair one has
slipped its moorings and fallen into
profane hands and that a suitable re-
ward will be given for its return. But
two In one week seems to be excessive.
There must be something the matter.
1t is not a question of locality, for the
drst garter thrust upea the public mo-
tice Travelled south side streets and
b~oulevards in its proper station In life
and 1t was on the south side that 1t
9Rrst all bounds and started forth into
the world alone, without its mate.
The latest claimant for public atten-
ton in that line formerly resided on
Tower place, away over on the north
side. The latter one had something
OF a bulge on its predecessor, mas
much as 1t boosted a gold buckle that
the lady owner is particularly anxious
TO recover. For the garter per Sc she
cares not whit. But gold buckles
do pct grow on every bush, not even
or Tower place. and therefore the lady
is anxious that the honest person who
picked up the gold buckle should waive
all sentimental considerations and re-
turn it. Why are garters dropping
right and left at this season OF the
year? Is 1t s~uperinduced by a falling
on In embonpoint on the part of the
fair wearers of the ornaments or is a
trust manufacturing the elastic and
making 1t Of such an inferior material
that the very necessary articles are
easily lost? These questions positively
shrek for a solution. At the same time
It might be remarked, honi soft qui mai
y pease. This remark, in fact, should
have been made It the outset, but it
Is v too late to say it. Why should
carriers have gold buckles? And why
should this be open season for g~arters?
Once more. heni soft qui NAL y pense.-

One OF Lffe's Little Tragedies.

| Life is full of little tragedies that the
busy world takes no note Of. The
world has other things to think about,
and the humble actors In many a pa
thetic little drama of real life live and
love and suffer and die, while the
world goes merrily on. There were
two funerals in q recent week in an
uptown block. one on Thursday and
the other on Friday. They had been
boy and girl lovers, these two. He was
not yet twenty-one, and she was about
a year younger. Ever since they had
been old enough to talk they had been
constant companions. He was not a
robust boy, and cared little for the
games into which his companions en-
tered with such zest. He preferred to
be with her. And SO they grew up to-
gether to young manhood and young
womanhood, with no other thought
than for each other. A year ago the
doctors said he had consumption. He
! took the announcement calmly, and
seemed quite resigned to his fate until
the Other Man came. He was older
and richer, and was able to give her
everything her heart desired. She was
young and unused to the ways Of the
world, and so their engagement was
announced. Then the boy gave UP
hope, and showed no inclination to
battle for life. But they were not des-
tined to be separated. The girl con-
tracted typhoid fever, and last week
she died. They told him about it at
once. sit is Gods WILL" he said sim
ply. That was all, but his meaning
was obvious. The next day he, too,
was dead.-Philadelphia Record.

20 days, while It would take A hours
to travel it's length behind the fastest

there are 100000 dozen balls used q
year.at 81 a dozen. This gives b little

weight of 2,e66,66B pounds, or 1923
tons. If these were carried in one ton
carts they would form q line which
would reach 53,325 feet, or 6 1-3 miles.

ably average to pay at least $35 a
year apiece, or $6,0O0,0O0 in all. The
expense of keeping up q course Is tire.
mendous. It will average about $4,000
a year apiece for the hoo clubs, MAX
ing d total Of S4,400,O00 a year, while
in land, houses and other adjuncts
American clubs probably have $50,000,-
900 invested.
A golf bali measures 81 inches in
circumference. Therefore il all the
balls Americans will use this year
were put END to end they would reach
7954 miles, nearly from New York to
Chicago.
The average course covers forty
acres Of ground, and there are HOO.
Therefore $4,000 acres are used in the
game, or about sixty square miles.
If ali these golf balls were made into
one it would be a sphere 228 feet in
diameter, extending from one street
to another in New York's short blocks.
1t is estimated that all the energy Of
golf players in swiping the ball this
season would dig the Nicaragua Canal
in three weeks.-New York Journal.

deliberate Purpose i'm Animals.

An amusing incident, which shows
that animals r subject to feelings
very like those which occasionally
rufie the bosoms of men. occurred
some little TING ago at thu Jardin des
Plantes In Paris NJ
A large elephant, f4sby the CEN
tire of attraction, fl educaf supplant-
ed in public favor Ha new arrival
"a young camel. The camel was the
latest acquisition, and very naturally
engaged the attention of visitors.
The elephant for a long time showed
signs Of dissatisfaction, and ut last
it's jealousy reached a point where it
must find expression. When the usual
crowd gathered about the camel, the
elephant prepared for action. 1t
filed Its trunk with water, and with
deliberate aim discharged the water
all over the people who stood looking
at the baby camel.
This method Of throwing cold wa
! ter upon the admirers Of q rival
brought q laugh even from its vic
tins.
Equally wise in making its calcula-
tons was a cat that chose a peculiar
spot for a bed. Comfort was the cats
object, and the chosen spot did not
seem to be calculated to afford it. The
cat was found fast asleep In a large
ship-building yard. lying on what
seemed to be a very muddy path.
1t was found, however, that the spot
chosen by the cat for its couch wal
the point at which a hot steam-pipe
passed under the road. SO that the
mud was baked into a warm, dry

"a musical festival that, out on the

The growth of the audiences In this

their hearts. The one cherished day
