STORY OF scHIEY
A Bull Dog That Is Able to Travel on
 His Face.

J. A. Plattner raised a bulldog named Schley. It Is an exceptionally good dog and one thpt commands the respect of and creates desire for ownership by every person. who secs 1t. John Rock, now in Sonora. but formerly city zan- jero, took a great fancy to thed og Some months ago the dog was left in the care of Jeff Duncan, who drives the fire engine. and Jeff thinks so much of him he considers himself a kind of d godfather lo the dog.
 The dog was great fighter and would scrap With anything of Che dog kind except old Jack, who was killed by the ire engine. They were intimate friends and would fight for each other. One day Schley was stolen and taken to Prescott. His friends never rested till he was brought back to Phoenix.
 A few days ago MT. Rock wrote to Mr. Duncan that he needed a dog, and just such dog as Schley. Mir aPlatt- ner was finally persuaded to let the dog go to Mexico to protect John, provid- ing he was returned when conditions changed and he was TO longer needed. After the dog was sert to MT. Rock a buggy belonging to the latter was raf- fled off. M. Duncan had charge of the raffle and he said he thought the least he could do would be to allow Mr. Plattner the price of a ticket for his kindness in sending Mir. Rock the dog. He did so and as everybody knows. Mir Plattner won the buggy.
 Tho manner of his winrig 1t was rather odd. too. He was not present to shake for himself. so Mir. Duncan shook f,r him Jeff was one of the strongest stockholders in the enterprise. and beat himself at his own game. Yesterday whe-i MT Duncan was con- graduating MT. Plattner the latter told him that he could not sec any reason for congratulation, as the dog was worth more than the buggy and any time Mr. Rock wants the buggy back all he has to do is to send the dog.
 Incidentally. Mir. Duncan got a let ter from Mir Rock yesterday saying that the dog had heen stolen and re- covered four different times while on his way to Mexico. And, further that he had not been in the camp five min utes till he had matched himself and whipped the best dog in that part of the country.

GIRL KILLS A LYNX
Miss Van Fossen Has An Exciting
 Experience.

Miss Elizabeth Van Fossen, the l6- yoar-old daughter of H. s. Van Eos sen. a rancher on the Yuma road, five miles west of the city, had an experi- ence few days ago, which most slris would not relish, but which showed q vast lot of pluck on the part of MISS Van Fossen. She is a student at the high school, and when she returned home one afternoon last week, she found no one there. She sat down to read, but was aroused by snort tune later by tremendous commotioh among the poultry in the barn yard Glancing out the window she saw an immense lynx near the wOod-pile. Grasping her fathers gun, which had both barrels loaded with heavy shot she hurried out. Instead of running away. as is the habit of the lynx. this particular wildcat refused to Vamoose the rancho and crouched as if to spring at Miss Van Fossen. She was apout forty feet from the brute and fearing an attack she threw the gun to her shoulder and fired. Until then MISS Van Fossen had never become ac- quainted with the kicking propensities of a breech- loader. In her haste she pulled both triggers and got double action, both on the lynx and upon her shoulder. The recoil threw her backward and she thought for a mo- ment that the lynx had struck her. Hurrying to her feet, however, she saw the big cat writhing in it's death agonies. The heavy charge tore big hole in the beast, but not enough t1 injure the skin, which will doubtless always serve to remind Miss Van Eos sen of an interesting time In her career.

CAMPAIGN AFFABILITY
Difference Between Casual Acquain
 tance and Legal Identification.

F.. F.. Jack, q Glendale former, who has a good head on his shoulders and has it filled mostly with memory. learned something last Saturday about campaign affability that he never knew before.
 He had urgent business at the court house Saturday morning, imagined all the county officers were in league to throw him down and left the place in a way that "a woman scorned' would twist herself out of shape trying to initiate.
 His prospective bride arrived from the east on the morning train and he got up early to get marriage license. He reached the office twenty minutes before o'clock, which, as most people know, is just twenty minutes before county officer can be persuaded to think about business. But Al Arthur was not feel ing well and happened to be at the re- corder's office a little early. The Glen dale man asked for the probate judge who, when shown the door, said it was locked. MT. Arthur told him the judge would be down in twenty min utes. Mir. Jack could not wait so long, so he applied to the sheriff. The sheriff could do nothing for him. and by that time Superintendent Fulton was unlocking his door. He gave out the same unsatisfactory information. The groom insisted that he could not wait and inquired where Judge Lang ston lived. While the various. officials about the court house were caucusing to find out just where the judge lived MT Langston appeared on the scene.
 This relieved matters somewhat and they repaired to the office, where the applicant filled out blank. The judge then said. MT. Jack as I am not ac- quainted with you I'll have to ask you to get some one to identify you"
 Not acquainted with me?' the man replied. ''The devil you're not ac- Quainted with me. You fellers have a mighty short memory sometimes, don't you? l remember you all right. About two weeks before last election you shot your mouth off in Glendale and then when the meeting broke up you slid down the aisle and stuck out your fist and said, why good evening. MT. Jack, I'm tickled to death to see you and a lot more campaign talk about ac- commOdating officials, etc, in the county offices. Oh yes, you knew me

William Mckinley led beautiful life.
No need to specify those particulars in
which it was beautiful. They are
known to all men, his devotion, his un-
wavering tenderness, almost something
motherlike, for his afflicted wife through
long years. William Mckinley was, so
far as any great American ever was, an
ideal Christian gentlemen, faithful, con.
slderate, pure. And he died beauti-
ful death, death that in it's resigna-
ton and trustfulness touched the world
to something like the glow of old time
faith and by its serenity almost eclipsed
the horror OF the act that brought the
end. The man who knew how to live
knew how to die with a grandeur of sub.
mission that yet had a little OF the
aching pathos Of the simplicity of
little child. Americans. even in their
sorrow, are proud Of such an American.
As an official he was truly the servant
OF the people in sense more strict than
might apply in the case of many of his
predecessors. As man he was lead
or, an instructor Of the people and, his
life was an example Of every virtue that
civilization holds in honor. He is fell
low to the finest, rarest, sweetest, strong
est souls now or ever to be "citizens of
eternity. w. M. Rsedy in The Mirror.

THE FALLEN LEADER,

So much has been said, and 30 vel
said, in thousands of publications con-
srning the career of William Mckinley
that one were fatuous to attempt to say
anything new upon the subject upor
which all Americans feel alike. The
Presidents career is now history. His
tory will place him high on the roll oil
the nations great men. He was great
man, indeed, because he mastered his
own life consistently to high ideal Of
ambition-an ambition noblv to serve
his country and mankind. He was a
patient man. He waited for the peoples
will to express itself. While he waited
he strove earnestly to shape the popular
thought and feeling into accord with
his ideas and he usually succeeded be-
cause he invariably took conservative
ground. He was great maripulator OF
men because he inspired confidence in
them. Men gave him power because
they felt assured he would not misuse
it. Mr.. Mckinley was simple man,
and it was this simplicity which made
many people deem him darkly deep.
He was frank man, 30 frank that he
feared not to reverse himself to gain an
end. He was a man who grew in his
ideas until, just prior to his death, he
stepped cut away beyond his party and
himself and foreshadowed a generous
measure of abandonment of doctrines Of
which he had been for years the most
conspicuous representative. The man
of one Observation-Disclosures Pres.
ident Of splendid scope and strength.
The man who was once believed to know
nothing other than tariff schedules,
handled Senate and House so MASTER
fully as to make both content to ask Of
him only what he would and he should
have it.
The man who was dubbed a COM
mercialist led the country in war for
one OF the truest ideals of humanity and
inspired whols country by the massive
nobility Of his sentiments. That man
gave tie war a elimination impressive
in its magnanimity to the vanquished.
The black republican. Mckinley was
hailed by the south as its best friend.
By his tact, his grace. his kindness. his
sympathy be wiped out sectlonalism in
this land. In his dealings with REBEL
ion in the lands newly added to the ma.
tons domain he preserved the poise of
Lincoln, eminently sans, supremely
patient with those who knew not what
they did, but never did it approach
tyranny.
He waited upon time and the prev
alence Of right reason, and he went
ahead with the work or organizing gov
eminent in the serence certainty that
his principles would prevail here and in
the archipelagos where the flag had
been unfurled. Gradually William
Mckinley won the love of the people as
completely as he compelled the respect
and admiration Of the world. He won
this love and respect and admiration by
his tirmness, his restraint, his reserve,
his sincerity. All his words were words
OF benevolence and good will. All his
actions but interpreted the honesty and
warmth and courage of his heart.
President Mckinley was no orator
like Lincoln and yet his speeches had
something in them. of late years, OF
that tenderly solemn quality. that strain
as OF prophecy which We note in the
utterances Of the great emancipation.
There was on him, too, something Of

The Drivers Point of View,

The hotel coach was filled with a
crowd of happy, jubilant visitors, and
the horses toiled splendidly up the hills.
AS each eminence was reached and at
every turn in the road the crowd would
burst forth into cries of wonder and
delight at the magnificent scenes
which burst upon their view. The
mountain jehu alone preserved a dig
nifty and silence which rather awed the
others. At length, after a particularly
lovely view had been passed, one of
the guests at the drivers left hand re-
marked:
"You don't seem to take much inter-
est in the scenery. No doubt it's an old
story to you"
The driver shook his head.
mo, that's not It," he answered. 81
just don't care" Then he leaned lit.
tie closer and whispered, But knows
just how you folks must feel. You all
come from a long distance just to see
things, and you're bound to enjoy II
anyhow SO as to get your moneys
worth and not feel as though you was
cheatin' yourselves. Oh" said this
driver in superior tone, 81 don't MIND
1t when / understand how 'tis."
