KPLING'S ART EDUCATION.

The Authors Debut as an Illustrator
Recalled to a schoolmate the Days
of "oId Timbertoes."
The wide interest aroused by Mr..
Kipling's debut as an illustrator of his
own writings was the topic of discus
sion at a little gathering of friends
who wrote or painted or otherwise did
things" His excellency of Rotting-
dean was spoken of frequently at these
meetings. for one of the lights of the
circle had been the great mans school
fellow at the United Service College,
Westward Ho. and he declared it his
mission, ever since. to flicker in the
greatness of his p1aymate's glory.
Il remember. one time, at the coll
lege," began this fountain of anecdote,
that Kipling developed a great en-
thusiasm for art. This wasn't due so
much, however, to the delicate sensi-
tiveness of his own soul as to the pc
culiarities of Old Timbertoes, the mas
ter. Old Timbertoes was not very
fiattering designation for a professor
of fine arts. but such was the nick
name given to the master of painting
and drawing at Westward Ho by Kip
ling and his two particular chums.
"Kipling, or Gigs, were always quick
to detect peculiar characteristics IN
anyone, and fortunately or unfortun-
ately old Timbertoes was a ready
mark for youthful ridicule. In the first
place "Timbertoes' differed radically
from the generally accepted type OF
an artist. He was short and stout,
with exceptionally well developed hands
and feet. He always wore large, doubt
less comfortable shoes, and stepped
lightly about the class room as
troubled with corns. Then. too, Tim
bertoes' possessed a broad Devonshlre
accent, and adopted the peculiar habit
of solemnly pointing finger at a re-
fractory pupil, instead of delivering an
ultimatum with the swish of the cane

PERRY POLK IS WILLING
There is no Further Obstacle in the
 Path of Statehood.

Perry Polk says that if congress will
 only take his word for it, the enemies of statehood may disabuse their minds
 of the fear that Arizona hasn't suffic-
 tent population to entitle her to statehood. The census of the territory
 has not been taken for eighteen months
 and he feels sure that he has imported
 enough of his friends from Kansas
 since then to fill up at least one con
 gressional district. The only trouble
 was that he did not realize till lately
 how valuable a few thousand people
 might be in d statehood fight. so as
 fast his friends from the east showed up he tried to initiate them into the Mystic Order of the Knights of the
 Brush. After every ceremonial there
 was q stampede, and some of his Kansas friends have not stopped run ming yet.
 But since the statehood fight is on he has quit all that business. and is
 now making it pleasant for all the sun flower immigrants. He says that if congress will only make this a state he will guarantee to have enough re- publican voters in here by the first state election to line up the electoral
 vote for MT. Roosevelt for president in 1904.
 Mir. Polk came from Kansas himself, and he says he has shaved the face of the whole state from Kansas City to the Colorado line. He knows every body and everybody knows him. some people even that he wishes would for
 get him. He says that in that country all the statesmen know him profes- sionaliy. all the ladies refer to his cake-walks as models for the young dancers, and all the old grandmammies take the children on their laps and tell them about Perry Polk, the man that could shave in more languages and do more fancy dances than any beau along the length of the santa Fe trail. The result is that Jerry Polk has become an unofficial inmigra ton agent and whenever a Kansas man gets tired l of his surroundings, the first thing he thinks of is where is PoIk?'' The next thing he does is to come here. Now that he has decided to allow col ored immigrants to lay around and sort of "corgest" til! Arizona has all
 she needs for statehood purposes. the Washington committee will have noth- ing much to do but tell congress that Polk is looking after this end of the line.

WELLS AS RABBIT TRAPS.

Nelson Poleyette. while hunting on his fathers farm near Westover, casu- ally glanced into an unused well and saw a great many dead rabbits in it. Such old wells as this have been the graveyards for rabbits. This well in particular was formed of barrels set into the ground, one above the other
 so that the rim of the uppermost pro- jected ouly a few inches above the ground. During the recent drought. when all the ponds and ditches were dried up. the ra bbits went into this well for water and were unable to get out. Mir. Poleyette took seventeen rabbits from the well. and there were doubt less more at the bottom. In all prob ability an examination of other unused wells would bring to light hundreds of rabbits which lost their lives during the long dry wea eather.-Baltimore Sun.

MURPHY'S ADDITION
City Engineer Parish Has Nearly
 Completed His Survey.

City Engineer Parish has about com pleted the work of resurveying and reestablishing the corners in the Murphy addition.
 This has been in progress for some time and was a very important mat ter. as all will realize who owned prop erty in certain sections Of the old town site. When the old town site was platted, a half section of land was set apart and it was assumed that the lines surrounding it were accurately established. But when the plat was laid upon the property. or rather when an attempt WAS made to put the city into the slot that had been mortised out of the surrounding country for it's accommodation it was found that the plat did not fit the hole. It Was lit tie toe wide at one end and little too narrow at the other. Therefore. in order to keep the town site from shift ing around in an unstable sort of a way, it became necessary for d care ful resurveying, and the result of that was that at the west end a little pack ing was necessary to-filf up the joints. while at the east end there had to be some judicious trimming done.
 In other words, the lots at the west end of the old town site were made d little longer than they really should be. and a-t the east end there was q cOmpensating shrinlzage. for the sec ton lines could not be changed, anc the town site could not be left stick ing up in the air. Even with this care full engineering it became necessary to wipe Harrison street off the map, in order to get in the full complement of lots on the south side of the plat. Harrison street which, theoretically. lies just south of Jackson. and which is so located on the early maps, is therefore, only memory cherished by the old-timers. But they don't cher ish it very hard. for it was always oc- cupied by the old Dutch ditch. which was q reality they were glad to get rid of, and so odoTiferouS q one that many citizens can smell ii yet. There are four tiers of lots between Jackson and Buchanan streets. or double block, and even then the lots are shorter by few inches than in other parts of the city.
 It was to prevent any such state of affairs in Murphy's addition that the survey now in progress was ordered by the council shortly after the incOrpo- ration of that addition. The addition had, of course, been previously sur veyed at the time it was plated, and since then, but not being under the care of d city engineer or anyone else except the property owner, who usually pays little attention to such things. many of the corner-stones were de stroyed or removed. MT. Parrish says that he finds the preceding surveys unusually accurate, and he isin this sur vey placing new corner-stones at the intersection of all streets, sinking them below the surface. of course, so that engineers who may succeed him will have accurate and an ample number of points to work from.

Jones Burial When He Revived.
 East Hampton. Conn, Jan. 3.-F'or some time Henry Jones. a veteran of the civil war, has been suffering in the village Of Westchestsr with what seemed to be consumption. He and his family lived in what is. known as the Water Hole district" MT. Jones seemed to fail gradually and as Christ mas drew near the family did not ex- pect to have him with them over the usual holidays. In order to make his last days as pleasant as possible it was proposed by his son, William H. H. Jones. to take his father out for a drive. This he did one fine afternoon. When a few miles from home his father sud denly choked up, grew black in the face. and after a few short breaths to all appearances died in his sons arms.
 Driving home as hastily as possible, the form of his father was taken from the carriage and placed in the house. Preparations were made to lay out the body and the sexton was notified to dig ground. As Mrs. Jones was getting out the clothes ready for laying out her husband she entered the room in which the body lay and with cry gave way to her emotion. As she gaZed at the face the eyelids slowly opened and MT. Jones looked at her and showed signs of returning life. Hastily they assisted in bringing him to and today he is up and around. although the doctors say his days are numbered.

MURDER OF A MINERALoG1sT.
William McMillian Crawls Down From
 The Mountains.

Cumberland. Md. Jan. Civilian McMillan. a mineralogist of Barton, this county. who has been missing for five days, was found this morning in an unconscious condition and died g. few minutes later. The circumstances surrounding his death are mysterious, it being the general belief that he had been held a captive in the mountains by band of robbers. He left his home on horseback on Tuesday intending to be gone only a short time. Although q constant search was made, nothing could be learned about him until he was found this morning in a dying condition at the foot of a mountain. five miles away from his home.
 MCMillan had evidently crawied down out of the mountains. He did not believe in banks and always car ried a large sum of money with him. While there were outward signs of Vio- lence. it is thought by the officers that McMillan was also druSged. He was 76 years old. His family never knew how much money he always carried with him, but it was the savings of q life time. Both the horse and money are missing.
