COCOANUT HANDOUTS,
Singular Methods Employed by south
American Indians in Capturing
Monkeys.

The Indian of South America en-
ploys this peculiar method of captur-
ing monkeys:
Taking a cocoanut he cuts a hole in
each end just large enough to enable
a monkey to insert its paws; puts some
lump sugar inside, then places it in a
promising spot and awaits the capture
of his game.
When monkey finds the shell, in it's
greed it inserts paw at each opening,

One way to keep ice in the sick
room is to fasten a piece of flannel in
a deep tin pan or pail SO that it will
sag in the middle, but will not touch
the bottom of the pail. In this flannel
a piece of ice can be put and so
wrapped in its enveloping folds that
no air can reach it. When small pieces
need to be broken off pin, prefera.
bly, a hat pin, can be used.

WHAT POLITENESS DID.
Little Comedy of Errors in Which
an III-Mannered Yellow Pup
Played the star Pnrt

Frequent meetings at the church
guild, at the afternoon card club and a
few calls constituted the acquaint-
anceship of Mrs. Becker and Mrs. Cas-
sell Nevertheless they We're good
enough chums.
They knew each others troubles
with servants, their favorite tailors,
and, as both were dog lovers, had
heard of each others wonderful ca
nine pets. As Mrs. Cassell swished up
the front steps leading to Mrs. Beck
er's house the other afternoon a mis-
cradle, ugly, little yellow dog skipped
up beside her and when the door was
opened shot inside ahead of her. The
animal was an irretrievably common
place cur, and Mrs. Cassell was APP
palled.
The very ideal" she said to herself,
"of her boasting so over her dog. My
terrier wouldn't condescend to look
at him!"
She endeavored to conceal her hor-
ror of the little animal frisking around
the reception room and to veil her pity
when her hostess arrived. To Mrs. Cas-
sells amazement Mrs. Becker endured
with equanimity the dogs careening
across her satin upholstered chairs
with frightfully wet and muddy feet,
and beyond one quick look said never
word when he danced on a white
sofa cushion embroidered in apple
blossoms, but continued her conversa-
ton amiably.
Mrs Becker's housewifely soul was
shocked. Foolish as l may be over
my Fido," she said to her inner con-
seriousness, 81 would not be so ridicu-
lous as to smile while he ruined the
furniture"
When the little dog, with his home
ly face, pranced across to Mrs. Becker
and impudently planted those same
feet in the lap of her delicate-hued
house gown she did not repulse him,
but with what Mrs. Cassell mentally
decided was an idiotic smile, even pat
ted his head and called him fond
names. 1t was too much and Mrs. Cas-
sells opinion of her good friend
dropped to zero with a thud. As she
carried on nSht conversation with
her strangely benighted hostess she
was assuring herself that charming
manners, love for good deeds and
pretty face did not make up for
servile devotion to such ragged rat
of a dog as the one which at the mo-
ment was placidly chewing up the en-
pensive lace curtains and tearing them
with his paws. AS the animal, unre-
proved, swallowed a whole renaissance

When the Children snore.

Snoring is symptom that should

that there is some obstruction to the
free passage of air from the nose to

nasal passage itself, or catarrh of the

YUMA JAIL BREAK.
Hart. Murderer. Escapes. Along with Leivas. a Robber Former Killed
 and the Latter Recaptured.

During the noon hour Sunday a break was made from the Yuma county jail and all the prisoners escaped. Thomas Hart, under sentence of death for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Devanne, and a Mexican named Leivas, accused of robbery, went to the rOundhOuse, took the switch engine that was standing in the yard and started east on the main track. They abandoned the engine and headed for the mountains.
 An engine with car took out posse and horses. They found the eng inc near Blaisdell, and then returned to where they had left the track. As the fugitives escaped and pulled out of the yard a party attempted to shoot them, and as there was considerable blood on the engine one of the escapes was thought to have been wounded.
 When they left here Hart had on an Oregon boot. Reports as to how the escape was effected are conflicting. Hart had been taken from his cell temporarily, and when the jailer went into where the prisoners were he was held up by revolver in the hands of Leivas. He was forced into Hart's cage and locked up. The escapes then went to the sheriff's office and secured two rifles, shotgun and a revolver. Hart and Leivas were well armed and it was thought that probably they could not be taken alive. Another engine went out with more men. As to how Leivas got the revolver is not known.
 The fugitives were caught at For tuna, a mining camp near Blaisdell, Hart being killed and Leivas captured.

Hoey Case Continued.

The trial of. ex-CollectOr William Hoey of the Nogales custom house was continued at Tucson, to December 3. November 4, was the day set for trial and the case was called up. Hoey was arrested, held to the United States grand jury and indited for accepting bribes and for engaging in a conspiracy to unlawfully admit Chinamen into the country.
 The attorneys for Hoey at the last moment filed affidavits of sensational character, charging the government authorities with having spirited away witnesses essential to the defense. It is further set forth in the affidavits that Chinese were unlawfully brought into the country by Line Riders Webb and Hathaway and by sweat-box process were compelled to furnish the evidence upon which Hoey was bound over to the grand jury. It is also al legged that both before and since the arrest of Hoey he has been shadowed by detectives, who have intercepted his mail and seized his personal letters.

Tho c. O. D. Mino.

Three hundred feet from the shaft, on the 3OO-foot level of the C.. o. D.. mine cross-cut has been run off nine feet, aud already four feet of ore has been exposed, with ore still in the breast. The ore is laced together with native silver and ruby silver permeates the rock. On this level the old works missed the ore body only three or four feet. The opening up of this mine shows the lack of foresight in working the property in the early days, as everywhere a crosscut has been run ore is exposed. The mine today shows up wonderful bodies of ore in every opening. At one place the ore body is l4 feet wide, the average of which is very high.-Kingman Miner.

A warning From Kentucky.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 3O.-Allan N.
Cisco of West Liberty. Morgan county,
Kentucky. in an open letter to the Wyo-
ming Tribune, warns the assassins of
Willie Nickel. that friends and rela-
tives of the family in Kentucky will
not tolerate any further attack upon
the Nickel family. After denouncing
the murderers in powerful language,
Cisco concludes his letter as follows:
I'VE, the friends of the Nickel family
right now warn the hyenas who are
seeking the life of Kels p. Nickel and
his little boys that they have gone far
enough, and that we don't intend for
that family to be slaughtered. II such
a thing happens there will be another
day. Again, we say to those murder
ers and assassins, beware"
Kels P. Nickel is rapidly recovering
from the bullet wounds received three
weeks ago, and has been able to leave
the hospital.

ebe youns Mans cbancel.

A western weekly of national circu-
lation has an interesting symposium in
reply to the question, What are the
young mans chances?" The conclu-
sion of the contributors, in which. the
editor joins. is that "a young mans
opportunity in the business world were
never more numerous, attractive or
conspicuous" The Conservative, how
ever, warns young men against the
false notion that success can be at
tanned without hard work. and espe-
.cially does it warn them against spec
ulation, in which where few succeed
thousands fail. The successes are
blazoned to the world, the failures are
seldom heard of; they are the wrecks
that strew the wayside to which small
heed is paid in the fierce competition
of life.
