Swearing Off.

He lived in Globe. He wasn't
good for anything, except that he
was good drinking man. The
Salvation Army and some other
people got after him, and he got to
thinking. They told him he was
spending too much money for
booze. He didn't think so, but
finally struck on to novel plan to
find out. Every time he wanted a
glass of beer, instead of putting a
"bit" into it, he took a drink of
water and went and bought two
cent stamps for the money, At
the end Of two weeks he had an
official envelope full Of two-cent
stamps. At the end of thirty days
his desk drawer would't hold them.
At the end of six weeks the pro-
fusion Of two-cent stamps. became
so we'll known at the Office that a
government agent arrested him on
a charge ofstealing postage stamps,
and now he languises in jail await
ing the next term of the United
States district court in Florence.
All of which demonstrates that

FROZEN AND ROASTED.
Frank Morgan Having Suffered Death
Now Enjoys Resurrection.

Now Enjoys Resurrection
Mr.. Frank Morgan, of Phoenix,
has endured the pangs of death, is
now enjoying the pleasure of his
resurrection and says it feels pref
ty good to be alive again, although
he has some sore spots that will
need nursing for few days, says
the Republican.
He was overcome on Thursday
by the artificial heat thrown off
from the steam pipes in the laun-
dry where he is employed, and the
fact that he is alive Is due only to
a good constitution and the hard
and timely work of the two physi-
clans who attended him.
Mr.. Morgan is employed in the
Arizona laundry and his work is
in close proximity to the steam
pipes above referred to. The
weather at this season is not frigid
and the additional heat fiom the
pipes gradually prostrated the
man, as he had remarked for day
or two that he was unusually warm
and failed to perspire as he ought
to.
On Thursday he quit work and
walked home too greatly exhaust
ed to ride his wheel. He lay down
on the bed, thinking he would feel
better after little rest and object
ing to the calling of a physician.
An hour or two later his sister
found him in a convulsion. The
physicians were sent for and on
their arrival they found his tenn
perature 100 and 9-10 and his pulse
over 100. They announced that
Mr.. Morgan was dead man, but
they would make the effort of their
lives and went to work.
He was packed in ice at the
quickest possible moment, and
kept there till the temperature be-
came normal and the reaction set
in. Then he began sinking to the
other extreme and it was necessary
to heat him up again artifcially.
This was done with hot cloths,
heated irons and whatever else was
at hand that would serve as a radi-
ator. In order to keep his tenn
perature from falling too low, it
was necessary to administer heroic
treatment, and the result Of it is
that he has some ugly skin deep
burns, but they will heal in few
days and he don mind a little
soreness now. He was uncon-
scious all through both the freezing
and roasting process, and Of
course suffered no pain, so he does
not begrudge the doctors any little
fun they had in blistering him.
He was able to be out for a buggy
ride last evening and is practically
well again.

10000 Chinese to Mexico.

The Chinese labor agency, of
which Woo Sen is at the head, in
Hermosillo, Mexico, is arranging
to bring to Mexico direct from
China ten thousand Chinese be.
tween now and the first of next
year. The first cargo of two hun
dred have just arrived at Guaymas.
While they are brought to Mex
leo, ostensibly to work in the
mines and on railroad construction,
it is believed for good reasons that
many of them will soon make their
way across the border into the
United States.

THE INSTITUTE.

The Graham County Teachers
Institute is now in session, with the
energetic, live, enthusiastic, pro-
gressive teachers of the county in
attendance. The institute is by
far the most imp ortant public body
that comes together in the county
each year-important because, in a
great measure, the destenies of the
children are in the keeping Of the
teachers. 1t is largely in the pow
er Of the teacher to make good or
bad citizens of the children. Give
a child a proper education and you
make of him a good citizen. Then
why is not the teachers position
most important and responsible?
And you will find the teacher who
loves his profession and is doing
his duty in the school room in at
tendance at the institute when not
absolutely prohibited. No teacher
is so proficient that he is not made
better by association with his fel-
low teachers, by learning Of the
theories and practices of others.
Parents and trustees, as we'll as
teachers, should attend these in
stitutes and become acquainted
with the educators Of the county.
Encourage them by your presence,
No one stands more in need of in
couragement than the teacher.
The average parent does not real
ize the grave responsibility of the
teacher and therefore cannot APP
preciate what a little encourage
ment means to him. Too many
parents have no more interest in
the school room than as place to
get rid of their "kids" whom they
are unable to control at home, and
no more interest in the teacher
than to attempt to get him dis
charged if he compels the child to
obey while in school.
All this is wrong. If more peo-
pie would attend the institute, it
would bring the teachers and
parents into closer relationship
by which the children would profit.

Reported Murder.

The report was circulated in
town this week that A.. X. Ross,
formerly of Stafford had been found
murdered near Naco, and that the
body had been identified by freigh-
ters from here. Learning that Lester
Bingham had just returned from
there inquiries were made and
Mr.. Bingham said that just before
he left Naco it was reported that
the body of a man, resembling Mr..
Ross, had been found below Naco
and as Mr.. Ross had gone in that
direction it was supposed to have
been him. The whole story was
rumor and it is not certain that
any one was found at all.

An exchange suggests a novel
method of keeping birds from fruit
trees. 1t is to hang a small mirror
on the top limbs of the tree. There
should be at least six inches OF
string to the mirror, so that it can
swing about freely when the limbs
are blown about by the wind, The
flash of the mirror, it seems, scares
the birds away. One or two five
cent mirrors hung on a tree is sufli'
cient.
