 Good Shells . F ..... Of Course You Do.

Are we the only people in town that keep good shells? No. There are sev- eral places in Phoenix where you can buy first-class shells.
 But we want to call your attention to the loaded shell we are selling. It is the Native Sons'' in smokeless and the Prairie and Eureka in black powder.
 The black powder shells, F gauge, are soc per box. The smokeless shells, F gauge, are 65c per box. We have customers who say they are as good as they ever used.
 They are not special loaded nor are they ''hand" loaded Nor do we get them in 10O, 900 lots. But they are first class and the price is right. They are well and uniformly loaded by a ma chine that excels in accuracy any hu- man hands.
 We buy in small quantities and often because it pays us to do so and our stock is fresher.
 Our trade on shells Is large but we want to increase it. We expect to do this by buying the best shell we can get and selling it at price compara- lively low. Honest goods at an honest price brings business.
 We rent guns and rifles. We sell guns and rifles and the prices are low. Savage, Winchester and Marlin Rifles to rent or sell. Tents, Camp Stoves, Cots and Camp Stools are one of our many specialties. Everything for the camp at Davidson's.

KNEW IT ALL THE TIME.-A gentle
man from one Of the near by states who
was in Memphis last week. told good
story which will illustrate the easy
manner in which gossip may be start
ed. He said that several years ago
there was minister Of the Gospel In
his neighborhood who was noted for his
piety. About two years ago there came
4 change, and the minister, whom we
will call Rev. Mr.. Jones, was trans
ferred to a different part of the state.
Only the day before he arrived in Mem
phis there had Deen another change,
and Mr.. Jones was given the chaplain
cy of the state penitentiary.
That day, the Memphis visitor re-
lates, he happened to run across one
of the minister's old parishioners, and,
thinking he would be interested in the
latter's good fortune, said:
Say, Smith, did you hear that Rev.
Mr.. Jones had been sent to the peni-
tentiary?"
Good for him." responded Smith,
laconically, II always thought he would
get there some day. He was always
such an all-fred rascal when he was
around here, knew he would wind up
behind the bars"
When his astonished informant re-
membered that Smith had been known
as one of DR.. Jones' greatest henchmen
he could hardly get up the courage to
tell him Of his error.-Memphls Sclml-

A BARGAIN OFF.-It appears that the
Danish government has been scared
out of its st. Thomas bargain, for the
present at least. The treaty for the
sale of the islands had all been agreed
upon when the clamor in Denmark
against it intimidated the ministers
who had concluded it.
1t is said that there Is much indig
nation in Washington over this out
come, but there is no occasion for any.
Denmark is merely doing what we did
IS years ago, with less excuse and un-
der more agravating circumstances.
Our government had actually signed
a treaty for the purchase of the Dan-
ish West Indies, the people of the is
lands had voted almost unanimously
for annexation, and American flags had
been hoisted over the houses in St.
Thomas, when the treaty was allowed
to die in the senate without even the
courtesy Of a vote because the major
ity there did not like Seaward and
Johnson.
We are now even. OF course, it is a
pity that the sale could not have been
completed at that time, but it will
keep. Economic distress, contrasted
with prosperity in adjacent Porto Rico.
will soon make the islanders clamor
for annexation, and the matter can be
taken up again without the disturbing
influence of an unfriendly sentiment

MERIDIAN OF GREENwIcH.-Green-
wich, as an English town, is nothing
very remarkable. but as the headquar-
ters of Father Time it Is the most i'm
portant spot on the eartn. It's time is
in every longitude of the globe, and
every land excepting Spain, Portugal
and Russia, measures the hours from
its meridian. No navigator on duty is
without Greenwich time in sight, and
every town and geographical point is
known by it's distance east or west from
the Greenwich observatory.
Ask the time, and the answer is al
ways in even hours ahead or behind
Greenwich, or else the exact Green
wich time. In Great Britain, Belgium
and Holland you get the Greenwich
time. One hour before Greenwich time
rules in Germany, Austria-Hungary
Denmark, Italy, Sweden, Norway and
Switzerland.
Two hours ahead Of Greenwich Is
adopted in Bulgaria, Roumania and
Turkey in Europe. Eight hours ahead
of Greenwich applies to the Philippines
Nine hours before the Greenwich time
is used in Australia.
Ten hours ahead Of Greenwich is Of
fetal in Victoria, Queensland and Tas-
mania. The United States, Canada and
Mexico have adopted the fifth. seventh
and eighth hour after.
So it is around the earth every tick
of every clock regulated by Greenwich
time.-New York Herald.
