A correspondent of the Prescott Courier calls attention to the change in the election laws as fol- lows: From my reading of the new law and such opinions as I have heard and read, it seems clear to me that the voters in the next following election, if the law is not changed, must vote in precincts where they have residences and where they are registered. I think it is a good law. Would it not be a good idea to call the attention of the people to this fact, especially as a radical change from former practices. Much might be said in favor of the change, but presume there will be no opposition, as it is, so far as know, only conforming to the usages in other states"

Sharpneck's mill near Kirkland is reported to be in running order again, and Mir Sharpneck deserves great credit for his energy and patience in putting the mill up without resources or assistance ex- cept from his son. It will make a great difference in the immediate district and will aid materially in the growth of Kirkland.-Prospe

The two brothers gave Lazy tbs

Lazy, grinning, walked around Il

LAZY LOCHLIN'S LUCK
The Story of Man Who Didn't Know
When He Was Well Off

was entering the Bon Ton. 1 Joined
him, and asked him if it was his idea
to put the Bon Ton out of business on
his 81 note
" Nope, ne replied, being amiable
under all kinds of kidding; I'm only
going to cop out enough to take the
trail on a choo-chOo car for Arizona, if

and he walked over to a table where
a dealer was shutting the deck pre-
paratory to running out a fresh boxful.
There were four chubbers sitting at the
table sloughing of two-bit chips, and
Lazy stood behind the chair of one of
them and studied the deal for a few
minutes. Then he produced his greasy
two spot and plunked it on the six open
The six showed up on the correct side
after a few passes. and the dealer
threw out a clean - bill on top of the
greasy one LOckiin picked no the 81

ter under way LOcklin. keeping his eye
on the cases being kept by a man in

little 81 wad on the six to win. The six
dropped Immediately, and Lack tucked
50 into his vest pocket. Then he strolled
over to another table, waited as be-
fore, for a new boxfuI and this time
he coppered the IS which he put on the
six. The copper won out for him, and
he stuffed SIC into his pajamas. Then
he moved on to the next table and re-
peated the performance, again copper
ing the six, and when the card came
out that way he had $32 wherewith to
hit up the next table in his progress.

He played the six to win at the next
table with his S32. and inside of about

low him around. He had stopped jam
ming his winnings into his vest pocket,
but just gathered them up in a wad to
carry along to the next layout. He
coppered the six with his $54, and the
card came out to the left almost as soon
as he got the money down.
With his s12S clutched in his hand
he paraded on to the next table, the
high limit layout where the big totens

action. There was no sign of six
until the box was mighty thin-looking,
and it looked as if, even If the card
did come right for Lazy, il would have
to be the top boy of split But it
came out right, and it wasn't on top
of any split, either. A king was un-
derneath. and there were three skies,
the last cards in the box, beneath the
king Lazy gathered up his $256 in
both hands and started for another

and ne shook himself loose from the
clutch 1 had on him.
There was a 5000 limit on the high
play table, but Colonel Janison, who
had been watching I,ocklin's play with
a good deal of amusement over its OBJ
vious amateurishness, passed the word
along to the dealer at that table that
the limit was removed for the circus
wind TANNER. Jamison, naturally
enough, figured that the cornet player
was bound to drop the whole bundle
on the next play or so. Locklin pinched
out $50 and put the money away, and
then he slapped $500 on the six to lose
after watching three quarters of box
full dished out. 1t was his'n, and the
dealer tackled $500 onto the 5000 that
Lazy had dropped onto his favorite
card. Colonel Jamison looked a bit
surprised by this time. and he followed

Jamison.
"Jamison nodded, and Locklin hickec

Allowing for each of these congested
crossings a loss otCfive seconds owing
to the blockading Il vehicles and the
jam of pedestrians on the cross walks,
there is a loss of 1925, 900 seconds, or
little more than 1872 days of ten hours
each says the Chicago Tribune. This,
in the working year of 800 days, would
mean the aggregate loss for one person
Of more than 100 years, OF, to the social
body, the wearing out of nearly three
lives a year in standing waiting for a
clear crossing down town.
Reducing the time to money, the re-
suits are even more startling. In these
throngs that wait for the opening OF
the crossings are men who are earning
nothing and men who are producing
hundreds of thousands year. Women
and children who are not producers are
among them in vast numbers. but so
are the clerk, the bookkeeper, the gen
eral utility man, all of whom make
salaries above the normal. Counting
the average Of time that goes to waste
as worth $1,000 a year, down town Chi.

tablespoonfuls Of butter, one table

pieces, chop the onion finely and mix
with the meat, adding salt and pepper.
Roll the crust rather thinly, cut il in

Traps a Condor in Txrol.

Last simmer, according to the Taeg

repeatedly saw two large birds Of un.
known species lowering over his flock
Then he missed u sheep, then another
and in a little while four had been
killed by the birds OF prey. The shep
herd constructed a trap, baited it with
the half eaten body Of enc of the
slaughtered sheep, and soon captured
one of the marauders. He took it to

was pronounced to be young female
condor. 1t measured eight feet from
tip to tip Of the wings. Though some
of the naturalists were inclined to be-
iieve the bird had flown to Europe
from the Andes, one professor stoutly
maintained that such a flight was i'm
possible except for such a bird as the
albatross, which had spread Of wing
Of thirteen feet and is fish catcher
and that the condor must have escaped
