The HORSE STILL HERE.

Mr.. Thomas A Edison announces
that he has perfected a storage battery
which will propel vehicles a hundred
miles before the electric power Is ex-
hausted and the bettery has to be re-
charged. The wizard Is happy and
exultant. Good bye" he says, Ito
the horse for commercial purposes"
For the past quarter of q century in
yentors have been bidding adieu to the
horse. but the faithful animal Is still
with us. No adequate substitute has
vet been discovered for mans best
friend" in the animal kingdom. Per-
haps Mr.. Edison, as he claims, has at
last devised a substitute. His inven-
ton, as he describes it, is certainly a
fascinating one. Instead OF hitching
a horse to a cart or wagon, man will
simply put light battery in his We
hicle. Motive power will be cheap.
A speed of a mile a minute can be OBJ
tained. Heavy roads and steep grades
will not affect the movements OF the
horseless vehicle. In town and in
country the electric carriage, cart and
wagon can pursue the even tenor of
their way, and stand not upon the or
der OF their going until they have run
the distance limit Mr.. Edison sees
the finish of the horse, but perhaps he
is too sanguine. The horse may sur
yive this delightful invention and neigh
in triumph over "the Wizard OF Menlo
Park. -lLjIAE

The TAXPAYERS SUIT.

Chief Justice Kent has decided
the case OF Wilson VS.. Vickers and
Murphy In favor of the defendants. In
making this decision the chief justice
reversed the opinion he rendered some
weeks ago when the case came before
him on demurrer.
We are disposed to think that the
people OF Arizona will not consider
Judge Kent's construction of the law
as either sound or just. The statutes
under which the proceedings were In
stituted are not invlved or compli-
Gated. They are plain and can be
understood by plain people.
The decision will be a disappoint-
ment to the people but 1t is not con-
elusive. We take 1t for granted that
the plaintiff will not accept the de-
cison of Judge Kent, and will carry
the case to higher court. Per
haps the supreme court of the State Of
Arizona may eventually have an op-
portunity to pass on Judge Kent's con
struction of the law.

There are millions of farmers in the
country. Does Mr.. Edison propose 10
equip them with electric plows? Can
his storage batteries propel vehicles
through snow drifts swamps, sand
dunes and miry fields? And where Is
the farmer to have his batteries re-
charged? Shall he hitch the reliable
old horse to the horseless vehicle and
haul the latter to town any time fresh
supply of motive power Is required!
The wizard" is jubllant, but he has
not yet made the horse an anachron-
ism or reduced him to state of in
nocuous desuetude."

A singular Marriage custom.

The kurds have a very curious and
somewhat dangerous marriage custom
which one would think would be more
hunored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. The husband. surrounded by
Il bodyguard Of twenty or thirty young
men, carries his wife home on his back
IN a scarlet cloth and is desperately as
sauIted the whole way by number Of
girls.
Sticks and stones are hurled at the
bridegroom, who, in the coming home
with his bride, can hardly he consider
ed a very happy man, for the irate
amazons often mfiCt on him marks
which he carries 10 the grave. II may
be that among the lady pursu"rs are

use the expression ''fe-faw-fum," or
something like it, when Jack has climb

Possibly it has not occurred to many
to ask where the idea of making bread
out of bones originated. as we do not
often seriously investigate fairy tales.
1t. is a historical fact that during the
siege Of Paris by Henry w, owing to
famine, bread, which had been sold
while any remained for more than 81
a pound, was made from the bones in
the charnel house of the Holy limo

Ever Think hbOut 1t?
Manu- a Resident Of Tucson Will
Tell You.

We are living in a very rapid aga.
Few of us bother our heads about
small things, and so many persons
look upon a pain, ache or lamenoss
in the back as a small thing. They
wait for it to pass off, giving no
thought to the cause. Remember these
i'll portant facts, take a mental note of
them for future use, and when the
time comes use them. The kidneys
are the sewers of the system; they
carry off the impure matter, but sew
ers sometimes become clogged up
so do the kidneys. The kidneys are
located near the small of the back
hence any stoppage affects the back.
This means backache, lame back, weak
lack and many other distressing
symptoms. There is lots more to tell
on this subject, but we won't do it
here, for we want to show you how to
keep the kidneys so the back will
have no cause to ache.
A. S. Sampson of 1929 Forest ave-
nue., Kansts City, carpenter and
painter by trade, says: "It is seven
or eight years since ! first felt the eff
fects of kidney trouble. During that
nave nad some very severe attacks
often being laid up for weeks at q
time not able to work at all. / not
only had pains in my back, but my
head ached so that / thought 1t
would split. l doctored a great deal
and used every kind Of medicine |
knew about, but without relief. I
finally tried Doan's Kidney Pills, and
l continued the treatment until I had
taken three boxes, when the pains in
my back were relieved, my appetite
returned and my whole system was
regulated"
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Tucson. Drop

ask what his customers report.

ODD Club Names.

There are number Of societies in
the world that bear strange names,
but probably one of the most curious
was a club founded in 1856 by an Eng
lish actor. 1t was called the Sublime
Society of Beefsteaks and had among
its members the Prince Of Wales and
other royal personages. They met in
the painting room of the Covent Gar
den theater and dined upon beefsteaks.
The club was in existence for more
than hundred years and became
quite noted because of its odd Gus
toms. Another strange name was that
Of the Scriblerus club, which Swift
founded in 1714 and to which Pope,
Gay and other literary pen belonged.

The Mississippi 10000 Years Ago.
Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition of the great Mis-
sissippi river 10000, 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of it's bed was ac-
complished by a mighty cataract,
which began far down the river, prob
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
PROGRESSION dug out the valleylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenablesmay be in
ferred from the high, wall-like bluffs,
features so characteristic Of the upper
part of its course.
A wearing away Of monster cata-
ract would of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either side.
These are the well known features Of
the father of meandering streams. IL
would seem, according to this theory,
that st. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. Ge-
ologists estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which it now
flows.

than $50 beds were provided for stran-
gers. with superb canopies and curtains

steads of alabaster, quilts of down and
pilloWcases embroidered with silk and
gold. The chairs of state were covered
with cloth of gold; the tables and cab
inets were of the most costly woods.
Much of the splendid furniture was
emblazoned with my lords arms. :"
Everywhere was impressed the car

exceeded 100000, an immense sum for
those days. His retinue of 500 persons,
his kingly stud, his sumptuous open

Napoleon III. and His Cigarettes.


The most obstinate Of cigarette
smokers was the Emperor Napoleon
III. 1t is an error to suppose that he
was ambitious. A fatalist, he fol-
lowed a plan which he imagined had
been traced in advance. At Sedan,
when the end came, he calmly lit a
cigarette. Hngo's epic anger against
him had large element OF irritation
at the mans supreme calmness Hugo
was not a cigarette smoker. He never
understood, he could not understand,
him. Zola, who was a cigarette
smoker and who ceased in order that
he might become a great workman,
understood and described Napoleon
III. in La Debacle' perfectly.
