A dumas story.

The younger Dumas once went TO
Villers Cotterets, his fathers native
village, to the unwilling of a statue to
the creator of The Three Musketeers."
At the banquet in the evening the
younger Dumas sat next to one of the
oldest Inhabitants who In perfect good
nature, but without any tact. began TO
tell story OF Dumas pere.
"Ah," said he, "he was a gay soul,
your father! How we loved him. He
was so kind hearted and generous. The
last time he came TO Villers Cotterets
he gave banquet in the Hotel de
Vile. He forgot for some time after
to pay the bill. See that fat man over
there? He was the butcher who fur
nished the feast. | should not be sur

LINTON. Tblrd Challenge.

1t has been announced by q member
of the New York Yacht club who has
just come back from England that Sir
Thomas Lipton's third challenge for
the Americas cup may be expected in
side OF ten days.
Sir Thomas wishes to sail the race as
early In the season as possible so as to
avoid the fiuky weather of the fall to
which he ascribes his defeat last year.
Under the conditions governing the
races for the cup the challenger must
give ten months notice, SO IL an early
race is desired the challenge may reach
New York at any moment.
In English yachting circles 1t Is said
that, at the request of Sir Thomas, Mr..
George L. Watson has turned over to
Mr.. Fife all the data relating to the
design Of Shamrock H., so that he may
choose In the lines of Shamrock III.
There Is no truth. IL is said, in the re
port that the new challenger is to be
the joint production Of the two famous
Scotch naval architects.

Expert sportsmen who know by
actual experience say that the species
of duck known as the fish-duck when
they get well along in years have
teeth not unlike a fine cut saw and
their meat is tougher than raw-hide.
Another peculiar feature in their or
ganism is the porcupine-quill like pin
feathers and the fishy odor of the
flesh. An emenent physician who
is supported in his statement by his
wife, having had considerable expe ri
ence along the line of dissecting and
cooking one of that variety state that
the tish-duck is probably a mongrel or
cross between dog-tish and snap

has been given any number Of new
turns which we In England had never
dreamed Of. l cannot but admire the
cleverness with which some Of the
shots and their application in a holly
contested match have been worked
out.
my criticism of the American style
and its future must be left to more
mature consideration Of the subject.
Il will say this, however, that think
the Americans depend too much upon
scoring quickly upon a single stroke.
They do not play safe as we try to do
and then try to score when the open
ing is made. Nearly all of the Amer
lean experts take too much out of
themselves by trying to use great force
without anything else to back It. This
uses up strength at a consequent loss
to their game the further Ii progresses.
"An example Of what mean can be
had from the five set match we played
against the western champions, Collins
and Waldner. They had burned them
selves out in the first three sets, and
my brother and / had little difficulty
In taking the fourth and fifth sets be-
cause we had saved our resources and
strength for the real test of the match.
Malcolm ID. Whitman is the great
player of the American tennis courts
today because he plays In this way.
That is my idea, and until the Ameri-
can learns to save himself he will not
be successful In long and trying con-
tests"

"Self-government for the Philip
pines" is beautiful sounding phrase,
but is as empty as the heads which
have wrnng the changes on this much
abused theory of ''rights.s'
That Oriental people are less trust
worthy both in politics and business
than either American or European, is
a fact learned from history, and study
of their present status. Their stand
ards of morals are entirely different
from those of modern civilization.
The experience of other countries in
dealing with such races has demon
strated their absolute unfitness for
self-government for two reasons
First, mental and moral warp, and
second, lack of Observation-Disclosures
ence. This latter reason may be
overcome in time by giving them OPP
portunities on small scale, such as
participations in village govern
ments to acquire the needed familiar
ity with the workings of government
affairs. But the first mental and NOR
al obstacles, would seem almost insur
mountable. To teach them to sink
the personal in the interests of the
whole; to seek the be nefit of all i'm
preference to self, will require ages
OF contact with true civilization.

AS result of high price of coal,
due to the recent strike, the atten-

oil as fuel. A great many oil burners
have been fitted in private houses,
and are apparently giving satisfac-

the coal operators will not be able to
maintain the monopoly against which
there has been so much complaint in

MERGER OF THE LIBRARIES.

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir: The article entitled Merging of the Libraries" in Saturdays Republi- can is entitled to some consideration by the patrons of the school and those in- torested in school matters. It should be remembered that the library is the property of the schools and cannot be bartcred or given away. It was bought with funds raised by the children glv- ing entertainments. by donations, and by $50 each year of the school fund. School libraries in other cities are cared for and superintended by school authorities and kept in the school buildings for the exclusive use of the children. Can We not keep abreast of the times in this line.
 The reason given is that there is no one in the school who has time to care for and superintend the distribution For years this has been done and if 1t cannot be done by the present faculty let us not make. the mistake. beside violate the law by giving away the li- brary but next year try to procure faculty that will give 1t attention. Possibly the next school faculty and the next board may have a different appreciation of books, so why not keep the library where it belongs and not rob the school children of what right fully belongs to them. I say again the school authorities have no moral or legal right to present these books to the city of Phoenix. H. A. HUGHES.

THE CANANEA COMPANY
A Member of it Spending the Holi-
 days in Phoenix.

Joseph Fifield who is in charge or the carpenter work of the Greene Con- solidated company at Cananea. has re- turned 10 the city to spend the hOli- days with his family. This is his frs; visit to Phoenix since he entered upon the Cananea contract. Cananea. he believes. is one of the coming towns or the country. There is more business there in a day than there is in many larger places in d month. The place seems homelike on account of the great number of Phoenix people wno are there. A man suddenly disappears from Phoenix and none but his most intimate friends know what has be- come of him until some one comes up from Cananea. Among those Who are there in the carpenter department are John Hall formerly with the postofiice here, the Merriams. father and son. George Grosvenor, Phil Sheridan. J. J. Cottrell and many others.
 There is a strong disposition there, as there was here by the friends and ac- quaintances of Mir. Sheridan, not to take him seriously. There is a notice posted in the carpenter shop warning all who may be concerned. against the repetition of any statement made by MT. Sheridan. The penalty for It's violation is s American money. There is a notice of 8 fine for believing any statement he may make on any subject. So far. MT. Fifield says no fines have been collected for the latter of fense In the meantime MT. Sheridan is going ahead attending strictly to business and making statements.

HOW zoos GET ANIMALS
The Bait Used by Recruiting Agents
 and Travellers.

Getting recruits for the Bronx zoolog- ical park is not by any means the easi- . est thing in the world. though the ar- thorities themselves do not bear mucn of the trouble in this connection. The work is mainly done by travellers and natives of the countries from which the wild beasts come, from whom the vari- ous geological societies of the world buy, except when the purchases are made from professional wild beast dealers.
 Some Of the latter employ regular re- cruiting agents, whom they send out whenever they receive orders which they cannot execute from the stock which they have in hand. If the park authorities order an African lion of dealer and the dealer has not a suitable beast on hand. re- cruiting lions in Africa begins at once, and continues until a good specimen has been obtained. The different meth ods by which the various wild animals are captured in their native state are interesting. Lions are generally caught by being tempted to thrust their heads through nCOSeS or SIIOnS COTuS COHl- posed of twisted hides. Pieces of meat are used for bait, but frequently the hunters have many days of hard cnas ing before the lion can be persuaded to try the moose. When he does the cords are pulled quickly around his throat, stifiing him, and other stout cords are then bound around his legs. Restora- tives are then administered to revive -I, 4. Fr.1 self from the moose have brought on exhaustion, and he is carried away and put in a specially constructed cage for shipment. Tigers are more savage than lions, and can rarely be captured when full grown. Recruiting is accordingly carried on among the cubs, the paren, tigers being killed and the young, left, without protectors, being easily caught The cubs readily accustom themselves to captivity.
 Perhaps the most difficult of all wild animals to capture is the giraffe. In addition to being very rare, giraffes are exceedingly timid and are very swift footed. There is no special way to cap ture giraffe, as almost every way has been tried, and all have been almost equally unsuccessful. The method which has occasionally resulted in n capture is by using a long cord, al eacn cid of which is a round weight. This cord is thrown by the hunter in such a manner as to wind around the animals legs, either bringing it to the ground or rendering it incapable of escaping before it is made prisoner. Most of the giraffes in captivity have been caught by chance when yOung.-New York Times.
