Why Go on
To Phoenix Town =?

An effort will be made to induce the
Southern Pacific to run its Nogales local
to Phoenix. The effort cannot be made
too soon.-Phoenix Gazette.
We have not heard OF the effort
which the Gazette mentions, There
does not seem to be any good reason why
the Southern Pacific should exert itself
to shoot the Cannon Ball over the desert
wastes to Phoenix. The chief desire OF
the people OF Sonora and Southern Ari-
zona, who are the patrons Of the Can
non Ball, was to reach Tucson-they did
not care for Phoenix. They do not care
now for the city of the salted waters.
The hope was realized when Tucson was
brought into rapid transit connection
with them.
Tucson is the metropolis of the south
west; that is substantial fact spread
upon the records Of the census bureau,
and the Gazette cannot deny it. Now,
why should the people of Nogales who
come here to trade, think for little
minute OF going to Phoenix? 1t is cool
here; in Phoenix it is hot and mosqui-
tos go with tho heat. Here we have
breezes straight from the snow-capped
peaks of the Catafinas and Old Ealdy.
No, Cannon Balls are never shot with
out aim; the Southern Pacific never
wastes its ammunition. The train might
go on to Phoenix, but the patrons from
Mexico and Southern Arizona would get
off at Tucson, The Southern Pacific
knows this.

The opera house was filled with home
audience last night to Witness home
production. The entertainers we're the
graduates OF the Tucson public schools,
who we're guided and directed by the

their work with credit. Grace Holla-
day made an especial hit in rendering
her "Sail Ho" song, and was called back

ARSENIC EATERS.

Many OF Them Found Among th0
Peasants of Syria nnd the Tyrol.
White arsenic Is the form In which ar
senic is eaten by the peasants OF Styria
and the Tyrol. Professor Schallgrueber
of Graetz was the first to call attention to
this practice, In a report which he made
In 1922 to the. Austrian government ON
the cause Of the numerous deaths from
arsenic poisoning in those districts. He
found that arsenic was kept IN most Of
the houses in upper Syria under the
name of "hydrach," evidently corrup-
ton Of "Huttcnrauch," or furnace smoke.
His statements were subsequently con-
6rmed from personal observation By a
DR.. Michigan Of Edinburgh, but for
many years afterward the arsenic eaters
were generally disbelieved In. and It was
not till 1860 that G. Heisch published
convincing evidence.
Arsenic Is principally eaten by hunters
and woodcutters with the object Of ward
ing of fatigue and improving their stay
ing powers Owing to the fact that the
sale of arsenic Is illegal in Austria, with
out a doctors certificate 1t Is difficult to
obtain definite information OF habit
which Is kept as secret as possible. Ac-

The calf. having nursed sufficiently and
feeling his baby legs tired Of the weight
they had not yet learned to carry. laid
himself down. On this the cow shifted her
position. She turned half round and lifted
her head high. As she did SO a scent of
peril was borne in upon her fine uostrils-
She recognized it instantly. With snort
Of anger she shifted again. then stamped
q challenge with her fore hoofs and lev
eled the lance points of her horns toward
the menace. The next moment her eyes,
made keen by the fear of love. detected
the black outline Of the bears head
through the coarse screen Of the juniper,
Without a seconds hesitation, she flung
up her tail, gave a short below and
charged.
The moment she saw herself detected
the bear rose upon her hind quarters.
Nevertheless, she was In a measure sur
prised by the sudden blind fury Of the at
tack. Nimbly she swerved to avoid It. aim
ing at the same time a stroke with her
mighty forearm. which, II 1t had found
Its mark, would have smashed her adver-
sary's neck. But as she struck out 10 the
act of shifting her position a depression
of the ground threw her off her balance.
The next instant one sharp horn caught
her slantingly in the flank, ripping Its
way upward, while the mad impact threw
her upon her back.
Graphing, she had her assailant's head
and shoulders In trap, and her gigantic
claws cut through the flesh and sinew like
knives, but at the desperate disadvantage
of her position she could infict no dis
abling blow. The COW, on the other hand,
though mutilated and streaming with
blood. kept pounding with her whole mas
sive weight and with short. tremendous
shocks crushing the breath from her foes
ribs.
Presently, wrenching herself free. the
COW drew of for another battering
charge, and as she did so the bear hurled
herself violently down the slope and gain
ed her feet behind a dense thicket Of bay
shrub. The COW, with one eye blinded,
glared around for her In vain, then. In
panic of mother terror, plunged back to
her calf.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.
