SECONDHAND STORES.
Modern Houses Vastly Different
From the Old Time JunkNhOps.


"One of the curious aspects &C mod
ern business conditions" said a philo-
sophie business man, is the growth of
what we call the secondhand business.
There are more secondhand houses
now than ever before. and attribute
it to the changes in style which are
constantly taking place in all things
which enter into the social life. When
one speaks Of secondhand store,
there afe many persons who viii think
simply Of secondhand furniture. bu-
reaus, wnrdrobcS, tables, beds and
things of that sort. But the business
has become 50 extensive that one may
find almost anything in either the use
full or the ornamental line in these
places.
II am not speaking Of the curio
shops either, where YOU can find any
thing from an Anticipated penny TO the
rarest and most elaborate thing in an
artistic way. old pictures and new
ones, old books, old anything you may
call for. | have in mind the regular
secondhand houses which do com
plete and up 10 date secondhand busi-
ness. Go into one of these places and
see for yourself the changes which
have been wrought in the business.
Time was when one Of these places
was a junkshop merely, a sort of old
furniture hospital or almshouse
place for chairs with broken arms and
tables with broken legs and beds with
SCARED heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing hands and
all that sort Of thing. But the condi-
tiOns are different now. You see, peo-
pie want TO keep up with the process
sion. Styles are always changing A
new kind OF furniture comes in. The
furniture on hand is good as new, but
one must have the new thing. this new,
magnificent kind of sideboard or this
new colored bedroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stun
IL sold and the new kind bought.
This is one reason, and the main rea-
son, for the growth of the secondhand
business. OF course the change has
not affected merely furniture and
household goods. 1t has applied to all
the utilities and all the ornaments, and
hence vast variety of things may be
found in the secondhand store. New

Couple OF RObberles
Edrlu Sunday Morning

Two bold robberies occurred in the
heart OF the business district early yes
terday morning. Abadie's old liquor
store was closed about IL o'clock, and
shortly after some one gained entrance
through the rear door on Maiden Lane.
| The robbers were evidently looking
for ready money" only, because none
of the liquor was disturbed. About
$3.50 was taken from the cash drawer.
1t seems that the burglars had
planned to raid several places about
the same houf!. The back door OF the
st. Charles restaurant was forced open
along about l o'clock. and the place
was left in a dsorderdly condition. The
cash drawer evidently resisted the eff
forts of the robbers to open 1t. A
cleaver was then procured from the
kitchen. and the counter was split until
the cash could be extracted. About 81
was secnfd Mr. Schaffer usually
keeps a larger sum In the drawer, but
Just by luck he had removed the gold
on the previous evening. The bur.

and departed
| The police are In the dark as to who
the lntruders might have been. They
left no clew behind.
| The Citizen warned the people of the
city some time ago about the unusual
number of hobOes In Tucson, and these
occurrences of Sunday morning can
probably be laid TO this source.

Apache RdtiOnS Cut OF
And TrOuDIc Is Feared

Reports of disquieting nature re-
2drding the Apaches have been com
ing to Tucson for few days.
These reports can not be called
alarming at this time, but there are
fears that serious conditions NAV re-
suit 4ater On.
tn the first Of this month the GOV
trnment closed up its indian boarding
mouse, so to speak. and the aborigines 5
must now hustle for their own chuek.
Tn" Apaches do not taEe kindly to the
Ecw state of things. According to re f.
rorts they are not i'll disposed toward
making their own living by farming
and stock raising, but the claim is
mace HAT there is not water enough
ir the reservation to irrigate a qua--
ter OF the land to raise food enough
for the Indians.
They have no means of earning a
living, or at least do not know how
TO go about it.
They have been doing a good deal Of
growing since the shutting Off OF their
rations, and making threats that they
did not intend to starve. They have
held several meetings and it is sad
that angry speeches have been made,
and an intention declared to go off the
reservation and get food If it would
not be supplied to them at their homes.
1t is understood that the attitude OF
the Indians hase been communicated to
the proper authorities, and that the
commanding officer at Fort Huachuca
has been directed from Washington to
keep close watch on the situation.

successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told 9 good sto-
fy on himself IN his youth in con
junction with his brother John be
wrote many poems with which he af-
fiicted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals.. The effusions always
came back. The editor OF one maga-
zine was an especial target OF the
Stocktons. but as none Of their poems
WAS ever accepted the brothers came
TO the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
TO prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known. by Milton. Within two days
they received check and letter OF
thanks. II came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw

VALUE OF COW-PEAS.
A Georgia Farmers Testimony to
the. Value of Cow Peas as
a Land I~mprOver.

viii you let me speak a few words
to your thousands of readers n Geor-
gia about my experience with COW
peas.
In its totality it is the most Won
derful of any known plant in Ameri-
ca, Within the range of my knowi-
edge there is no other plant that
EQUALS it. 1t is a wholesome food for
man, beast and mother earth; it adds
to all and takes from none. Wher-
ever a pea grows, the soil is benefited
beyond a mathematical calculation,
for nature has so fixed it. Its cult
walton is now being extended into the
north, west and east, and in many
sections it is taking the place of
clover. 1t requires less attention than
any other summe crop-but little to
do except plant and gather. 1t will
grow and mature on soil too poor for
a profitable crop of corn or cotton,
and prepares the soil for a good crop
of either the following year.
Experience has taught me that one
bushel of peas sown broadcast in
corn or cotton from first of June to
fifteenth of July, or after wheat OF
oats, is worth more to the following
crop than 200 pounds of the average
commercial fertilizer used direct
when planting.
l have improved my land with peas,
but l have never been able to improve
it with common fertilizer alone.
l never fertilize peas, but plant peas
for a fertilizer.
Peas make the best of hay. They
add fertility to the soil if all are cut
off, but they are worth as much again
if all the vines are left on the ground.
The pea is too valuable to let waste.
Nothing fattens horses, mules, COWS
or hogs faster. They will in my judg-
ment henceforth command a dollar
per bushel or more at planting time.
Don't depend upon buying, but gath
er your seed. | prefer the Unknown
as an all-round pea.-Wm. L. Peek, in
Southern Cultivator.

Of cor there is need for the planting

tended that people eat something be-
sides meat and milk, and that grains,
vegetables and fruits must be taken
away from the farms producing them
Ii that be true it is a narrow view
that is taken by any one urging all to
feed their farm products for the sake
of the lands fertility. Other ways
of maintaining it are open to US, and
Prof. Whitney's statement indicates
a leading one. Half of the fertility of
the crops now fed on the farm fails to
get back TO the land through the ma
nure on account of careless methods.
This is woefuIwaste. because the plant
food in it is so readily available, but
it is mentioned to show that many a
stockman is far dependent upon
the natural strength of his land for
plant food than he realizes, and that
which he does in part, and often un-
knowingly, another may wholly do by
keeping his soil in good physical con-
dition through sodS and fertilizing
crops without any feeding upon the
farm. The method is unsafe in care
less hands, and a good supply of ma
nure is the best key for unlocking adj
dltional soil-fertility; but the chief
need of farmers to-day is to recognize
the Importance of a good physical
condition of the soil, and to regard it,
rather than the amount of plant food
they may be putting into the ground
or taking out of it.-Farm and Fire
