THE NARCOTIC HABIT.
Excessive Smoking Said to Lead to In
diligence in Bad Drugs.

We have largely abused the good gifts
OF nature by employing as daily luxuries,
and in time as artifcially created neceS-
sarles, things which, if kept in their right
places, would have been reserved as re-
sources III emergency or in Distress
We are told by those who take it that
tobacco is an eminently tranuuilizing
and soothing agent, capable of sOftening
down many of the aSperities of life; but
Il Is manifest that ii can no longer eX-
ert this influence or fulfill this purpose
IN the case of consumer who is never
long without it, even when the ways
which he is called upon to traverse are
entirely smooth If difficulties come to
him the tobacco fails of its effect. and
something more powerful, or to which
he Is less Infatuated, must be-or at
least too often is-resorted to.
We are strongly inclined to the belief
that the excessive smoking of our time,
under conditions which do not seem to
afford any sufficient justification for it,
must to some extent be blamed for the
manifestly increasing prevalence of "hab-
It's, and that, If the comparatively mild
and harmless drug were used discreetly
and IN moderation, the necessity or fam
cied necessity for the stronger and more
harmful one would be far less likely to
assert itself AS a matter Of fact, the
absolute need for either one or the other
can only seldom arise in the conditions
of modern life, and the daily use of the
narcotic can hardly be looked upon in
any other light than as a piece of un-
necessary self-indulgence. That this is
so is abundantIy shown by the example
of women who smoke but rarely, and
whose want of a panacea against the
smaller Ills of life, the worries of a
household, the cares incidental to the
possession of children and servants, is
certainly far greater than that of their
husbands. Possibly many women who
have now fallen into habits" might
have been preserved from them if they
had smoked: and it seems certain that
many men would have been preserved
from them ii they had used tobacco with
out abusing it.-Hospital

They PLAY Chess.

There is in Hungary a village proba-
bly, unique among the worlds townships.
in that it not only encourages chess as
pastime, but insists that the king of
games shall be played by every man.
woman and child in the place.
1t is just as necessary in this out-of-
the-world spot for the inha bitants to be
proficient chess players as it is for them
to be able to read write and cipher.
Prizes are given 10 the school children
for proficiency in chess. Problems are
given TO the scholars that they are ex-
pected to take home and work out in
their spare hours in addition to their
other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for her
chess players. Indeed. this little village
has, as can be well understood. turned
out more than one player who has been
considered fit to rank with such giants
as I.aSker. Steinitz or Tchigorin
Every Christmas a great tournament
is held in the village. and the burgomaS -
ter gives prizes for the best juvenile and
adult players. Weekly.

PRESIDENT DIAZ.
The Mexican Executive, Though Aged,
is a TirelesS Worker.

Il am inclined to think that if our
hard work he would die" remarked Juan
Cortiza of the City of Mexico, who is
now in this city. AT half-paSt every
morning Gen. Diaz goes to his office and
works until about 100 p. IN. At 400
he goCs back again, and scarcely ever
leaves before II, and often not until mid
night. His time is spent in the hardest
sort of labor, and the President would
he miserable if he could not carry out
the daily programme
That is the reason why, in my opin-
ion, he will never make any trip to for
elgn countries. \ journey of any mag
nitude would break into his settled hab-
its. He is n remarkable man in his per
sonal habits lie takes no Intoxicating
liquors and is never known to partake
of food at a banquet. Whether he will
serve another term as President rests
with himself. The people want him TO
stay in office as long as he lives.
The City of Mexico is being made
into beautiful capital, much after the
fashion that eN-GOv Shepherd employed

were torn down. and the costly National

HOW PoRCUPINEs FIGHT.
Do Not Shoot Their Quilts, but Drive
Them in with the Tail.

There is something about the porcu-
pine which draws the interest ia great
many persons. according TO the attend
ants at the New York Geological Gar
dens, in The Bronx. 1t is one OF the first
animals for which youthful visitors ask
when they come TO the park, and many
Of their elders also want to be directed
TO the porcupine pen. Some OF the visit
ors have strang ideas about how the por-
cupine came to have quilts and what he
can do with them.
See the pins sticking out of that lit
| tie black ball" said fond father who
was giving his young hopeful a lesson
in natural history. That's a DorcupiDe,
| and it fights with those quilts When
| the dogs come it raises its quilts and ar
the right time shoots them out, just like
the powder shoots the bullet out Of the
gun"
1T does, does it," exclaimed an old
man. who was peering through the bars
! at the same pOrcupine.
The father looked up quickly. and his
glance asked And who III the dickens
are yOu?"
I've lived most all my life up in the
Adirondacks, where porcupines are
thick explained the old man. land I've
| hunted them many times. It's Il mistake
| about their being able to shoot their
quilts"
but I've seen dogs with the quills
driven into nose, chest and legs" re-
turned the father. How do you account
for that?"
Most people do not know" continued
the man from the mountains, that the
porcupine fights with its tail, using it as
| a man would a club. The tail is heavy
and well covered with quilts, and the beast
has perfect control of it when it comes
| to purposes of defense. 1t can strike a
blow with sufficient force to drive quills
into a stick. of hardwood, TO say nothing
of a dogs flesh.
when the porcupine turns tail it is
time for the enemy to retreat, for the
defense is about to begin. The blow is
delivered quickly, without warning, and
it leaves a bunch of quilts wherever it
strikes. This method of fighting with its
tail is responsible for the theory that
the porcupine can shoot its quilts. New

THE COMMENCEMENT SEASON

Standing with reluctant feet
Where the brooks and rivers meet"
See the sweet girl graduate
Iearning for a whack at Fate
In the great world which so far
Has been to her a distant star.
Hear her read her essay through,
Tied with ribbon, pink or blue;
Did you ever chance to meet
Any living thing so sweet
And so very, very wise
That you gaze in dumb surprise
At her as she reads the thought
Out of her experience wrought.
She will know more, by and by,
But at present let her fly
Just as far up In the blue
As her wings may lift her to.
There Is nothing half so sweet,
Anywhere that you may meet.
Nothing half so wise and great
As the sweet girl graduate.

Conditions in Glls County.

Live stock conditions in Gila county are Tn very promising condition, ac- cording to report from Major A. J. Howell, who was down from Tonto a few days last week, and who called at this office on Saturday for friendly chat.
 "The calf crop will be an unusually large one." says the Major. "The win. ter's precipitation has been very fair, but the country can stand more rain and snow before the coming of the spring"
 The one disturbing element in the section of country represented by Major Howell consists of the travel. ling bands of sheep en route from the northern counties to this valley.
 Major Howell was accompanied by his son, driving across via Reno Pass, us,ng three days in making the jour ncy. They left for home on Monday, after spending several days in the cit! on business, where they have many friends, and enjoy the fullest conf dence of all our business men. Phoe- nix Steckman

TOM HORN.
Accused of Killing Three Men for Hire He
 Formerly lived in Globe.


 A recent dispatch from Cheyenne states that Tom Horn has been held on the charge of murder to await the action of the grand jury, and bail de nied. He was tricked into a confession while two witnesses, one a stenogra pher were concealed in an adjoining room. and his statement taken in short hand.
 The alleged testimony of Horn impli- cated John c. Cable. manager of big Wyoming cattle ranch. Horn was in the employ of Gable and was hired by him to kill two men named Powell and Lewis, who were in the way. This occurred in lS9i. The cattle company has employed five attorneys to repre- sent Horn and has raised S25, coo to pay for the expense of the trial and clear him if possible
 The Tucson Citizen says Tom Horn, who is mentioned in the above dispatch, is well known by the old timers of this section. He was for years a prominent figure in the country around Globe and Mammoth, and was for d long time chief of government scouts. He was widely known as the best shot in southern Arizona. Stories are still told of his wonderful feats with six-shooter, and his equal has never been seen in this part of the country He was prospector in the vicinity of Globe for long time and later went into Mexico with the Geronimo expe- dition headed by Captain Crawford. In the skirmisb in which Captain Craw ford was killed, Horn was shot through the arm. He returned to this section and left for Denver some time after the Geronimo expedition of lsgs Horn was always known as square fellow in this section of the country and many friends among the old-timers will re fuse to believe that he is guilty of the crimes charged against him. That he was handy V ith a gun while in this country, none will deny, but he was always known as a bad gun man on the side of the law. Those who knew him here will be interested in learning the result of his trial
