ADJUDGED INSANE
The Penalty Paid by a Missourian
 Who Never Tasted Whisky.

A showing was made that. while until recently he has been comparative harmless. he has lately been making himself obnoxious to his wife, who has been living apart from him in this city for several years. Clarks insanity, if he is q little more insane than other men, resulted from an injury received few years ago while working with a Eay-baler. He is a tall man with q long red beard, given to much talk. Those who have sat around listening to him phiiosophize hardly thought he was candidate for the insane asylum, yet yesterday after the nearing was over said they could have brought in stronger evidence of an abnormal men, tai condition than had been adduced
 Mir Clark is native of Missouri and he frequently stated within the hearing of many veracious citizens or this town that he had never in his life tasted alcohol in any form. He was therefore adjudged long ago by the men wno sat with him in the forum of the plaza to ce peculiar. if not mentally unbalanced

LIFTING OF A DIAMOND
How a Phoenix Capitalist Let His
 Light Sc Shine.

There is q professional gentleman in this town who was the possessor Of q $700 diamond. It was something of a sparkler, more brilliant than an Ari- zona sun in midsummer. It was not half so much of sparkler. though, as a young woman from California, whom the professional gentleman met at an Adams street lodging house. The young woman is now in possession of the diamond. The intricate details of the transfer have not been related b. any authorized deponent. but this much is known: There sprang up be-
 tween the professional gentleman and the coast beauty an aneC tion which some observers said was Platonic; others said it wasn't. Some said there was no affection at all; just q fatherly overlooking of an interesting girl on ore side, and areciprocating expression of respect on the other.
 But all the time the diamond of the professional gentleman dazzled the eye of the Adams street beauty. One after noon she represented to her elderly friend that there was to be church social. a party or some sort of an en- tertainment that night. at which she desired to present the best possible front. She wanted to obscure the rest of the audience; to make it look as if il were eRTeloped in great green shade. so that nobody could see any thing put herself. She thought that S70O diamond would do the business.
 The professional gentleman was
 more than willing 10 encourage his protege to shine in society He gave up the diamond, and the next morning il went north ~on q Santa Fe train. Neither it nor the Adarps street beauty has been seen in Phoehix since
 The next morning the professional gentleman vas stricken with neures- thenia or some other nervous affec- ton. His mind ran mostly on dia- monds He Was q constant reader of the papers. in search of inforrna ton re- garding the progress of the Boer war and the prospect Of reopening opera tions in Cecil Rhodes diamond field He has lately got so he can be up and around but he is still on the bear side of the diamond market.
