 SCARED AT HIS OWN FACE. .-- Judge, the Great Dane dog belonging to Ed Ruppert, worked himself up into a fine frenzy yesterday. He visited a tin shop with Mir. Ruppert and the timer held big sheet of the shining metal before the dogs face. It made a perfect mirror and Judge at once flew into passion at the sight of another dog as big and ferocious in appearance as he is himself. He interpreted the nearness of the ghost to be an open challenge and immediately tried to get at him. But like many another great big burly fellow it was all noise. He parked like pack of bloodhounds, but he could not get at the reflected dog In way to do him any injury.
 A PROUD BOY.-Many people be- lieve that pride results alone from civ ilization and culture and that the pride of a child is only a hereditary endow- ment of well bred parents. Those who hold to that theory should have seen a little three -year-old Indian boy who was on the street yesterday with his father and mother. They had just bought him a blue sailor suit trimmed with white braid and little cap with Dewey" printed on the front of it in gold letters. As the party left the store and passed down the street the urchin was the happiest child in the town. He strutted and danced and kicked up his heels and did everything possible to attract attention to him self, succeeding better than many white boys with ten times his advan- tages.
 A VISITING JOURNALIST-O'B Brien Moore, recently connected with the Chicago American, is in the city for d few days visit. He was resident of this territory a great many years ago. and was at one time connected with the territorial press.

At the outbreak of the Spanish war he was ap- pointed a major of volunteers by the president, but the senate refused to confirm him, so he returned to Charles ton, West Virginia, where he had prev iously been in the ne wspaper business, and was made lieutenant-colonel of a regiment of state militia which en- listed in the United States service. but like many another good regiment, never got to the front.
 AN OLD MAIDS CONVENTION It has been denied that there are any 1ld maids in Phoenix, and the casual observer would doubtless so decide in nine cases out of tei4.

It has been further discovered by detective on The Republican staff that they are to hold a convention in the lear future, in imitation of the recent | session of the mothers congress" but | ,f necessity totally unlike thal gath | ring.
