PASSING OF CHAS. ABBETTE

The inqury published in yesterday's Republican respecting the whereabouts of Charles Abbette or if dead the par ticulars of his passing. was fruitful of some information. At the same time it shows how quickly time erases from the public mind the memory of incl dents, however, tragic. There are many people here who have lived in Phoenix for twenty years or more yet Joe Porterie is the only one seemingly who recalls the incident of the death of MT. Abbette and it is likely that he would not. only that he chanced to be member of the coroner's jury that deliberated upon his case. for in those days nearly everybody who died here at all died tTagicdlly-

Last night was the regular drill right of B Company N. c. A., and 1t was also the thirty-ninth anniversary 2 Captain Lamson's birth. The sol diers oi his gallant command therefore showed their appreciation of his inter- est in them by presenting him with q new officers khaki uniform complete from hat to ankle The uniform was sent to him earlier in the day so he could appear in it at the armory last night where the official presentation was made.
 The hat is the regulation officers hat and the uniform is the regulation khaki trimmed with all the badges of the captains office On either side of of Arizona. The uniform is compl7t tc and the crosced guns. On the shoulder the captains straps. and down the front are the regulation gold plated buttons on each of which is the seal of Arizona. The uniform is completed with d new sword belt and pig skin legsings.
 The captain of course is as prOId as any boy could be of his birthday present but unlike ths child. he is more sratified at the spirit O. the boys in his command. which prompted the Si1t- than ne could De or anything they might tender him.

Stuck to His EyeaIass.

Recently party from the embassies
ut Constantinople went to inspect the
International lifeboat service on the
Black sea coast. At one of the life
saving stations they thought they
would like to test the conditions of life
boat work, so. ;lothing themselves in
bathing costum IS and cord jackets,
they each took an oar in a lifeboat,

embassy Is never seen without an eye
glass, and is said even to sleep with
it. On this occasion he was faith
full to his eyeglass and solemnly en-
harked in cork jacket and eyeglass.
All the proper exercises were-gone
through. and finally the boat was cap
sized and righted again by it's own
crew. AS they crept out from under
tie capsized boat a howl of surprise
came from the Turks, for the secre-
tary's head appeared. with the eye

ton, it's owner taking it as matter Of
course that it should be there.

Several years ago considerable was
being written about the Tamworths as
the only breed that would make good
bacon hogs. 1t is doubtless true that
this particular strain is best suited for
the purpose, but, on the other hand, it
is question if it ever paid any farm
er to raise them exclusively. True,
there are specialists who have made
money in catering to the fancy bacon
market, but they found it profitable
only after long years of experimenting
and fully learning the secret of feed
ing to produce certain results. With
the average farmer. who raises what
pork he needs for home consumption
and perhaps a dozen head besides. it is
doubtful if it pays him to experiment
much with breeds, beyond getting some
strain that will give him the best re-
turns in weight at the smallest expense
for feed. If one is raising swine with
an idea of selling the progeny when
young to other farmers, then consid-
erable care should be taken to secure a
breed for which there is a demand, and
then to breed the animals on the plan
that will give strong, healthy and pure
bred young, and in this way work up
reputa ton. 1t must be admitted, how
ever, that there is demand for fancy

How to cond ct a stock Sale.

HOW 60 AOnu CT d oISSh SdASs
A brisk demand for well-bred stock
OF all kinds, particularly Of the beef
breeds, has encouraged the sale of
such stock by public auction, the prices
being quite satisfactory. These live
stock sales first became popular i'll the
West, but are now fairly common ev-
erywhere in the stock-growing sec
tions. A cattle dealer of long expert
ence lays great stress on preparing ami
mails especially for the sale. Even If
an animal is we'll bred, has a good out
line and other requirements, If its con-
ition is unsatisfactory in any way, it's
good qualities will be overlooked. The
cattle must be fed into good flesh and
must be we'll groomed and thoroughly
cleaned. This expert believes in judi
cious advertising as a means of promot-
ing a sale. He advises that the sale be
held under cover, in order to be prepar
ed for any kind Of weather. The con-
struction of temporary sheds of Il few
boards and props will make the buyers
comfortable. Before the, sale begins,
coffee and sandwiches, or food of SIM
liar kind, are passed around. Well
fed people make lively buyers. Finally
provide a good auctioneer, one who
knows all about stock and pedigrees
and how to describe them to the best
advantage. Good assistants should be
provided to handle the animals in the
ring. The sale is carried on briskIy;
no unnecessary pauses. These sugges-
tions apply to general public sales of
any ykind.-American Cultivator.

why Don't the Boys Ride? ?

Why is not something more being
done to encourage horseback riding
among the boys on the farm. Compar-
atively few farm boys can ride grace
fully and with ease. They get astride
the old mare, and jog along to and from
the stable and pasture, and call it rid
ing horse. 1t is as far from real gen
uine horseback riding as day is from
night.
No class of horses sells better on a
market to-day than first class, well
broken saddle horses. There are deal
ers, who make a business of training
these horses for the purchaser. Why
could not the farmers boy do this
work instead. If he were given some in
formation as to what the requirements
of a good saddle horse were, and how
to train such horse for riding, 1t
would mean money in the farmers
pocket.-Farm and Home.

Farm Notes,


To have clean, smooth-barked trees,
whitewash them.
A lighted lantern under the lap-robe
on very cold day will help to keen
you warm.
If you did not cut out the borers
from peach, ounce or apple in the
summer or fall, do it now.
Equal parts sifted coal-ashes, salt
and clay moistened with a very little
water will cement cracks in stoves.
Do not let the apples freeze either in
bins, or on the way to market. They
may tell you it will do no harm, but

Small apertures in the walls of build
ings often admit draughts of air suffi-
cient to cause great injury to stock,
especially the dairy cow.
Some people study how to get along
with but very little feed in the dairy
barn. 1t is far better to study how
much can be given to good cows and
have them assimilate it. The more
feed digested the more butter.
: Give geese a dry shed from damn
ness and drafts. They will stand al
most any amount of cold if their
quarters are dry. Whole oats and
corn, some cabbage or boiled vegeta-
bles and plenty of pure water make
the best rations.
A woolen rag moistened with castor
oil rubbed over the harness will keep
mice and rats from gnawing them.

How to Treat Heaves.

How to Treat Heaves.
In answer to an inquiry as to the
treatment Of heaves, a correspondent
of the National Stockman writes as
follows: ''To answer you in relation to
what you particularly wish to know, I
would have to know the age of your
horse and manner of breathing, that I
might locate the trouble which pro-
duces his irregular breathing. 1 will
say, however, that all forms of heaves
are incurable. The best that can be
done is to alleviate In old chronic
cases of so-called bilious heaves the
first thing to do will be to regulate the
feeding by feeding hay very sparingly
and oats plentifully. Wet all hay with
lime water and give Fowler's solution
of arsenic In tablespoonful doses three
times per day. This is best given by
mixing with half pint of water and
use to wet the grain feed. So-called
bronchial heaves can be relieved by
feeding as above recommended and CIV
ing in the grain feed tablespoon of a
mixture of powdered elecampane root
3 ounces, ginger 2 ounces, powdered
squills 2 ounces, powdered lobelia 8
ounces, fenugrec 2 ounces, chlorate Of

A Novel ARricuIturist.

Among the many curious insects
found in Texas is the agricultural
ant 1t is truly an agriculturist,
planting, tending and harvesting crops
as regularly as any farmer in the
land.
When getting ready to do it's plant
ing, this queer little farmer makes a
circular clearing, from ten to twelve
feet in diameter, sometimes in the very
heart Of a cotton field or corn field,
sometimes in rough, wild pasture land.
it's size, is really marvellous, for with
it's teeth it cuts through tough, thick
stems, and by twisting, pulling and
biting, finally clears away everything
that would be hindrance to its crop.
If a fruit tree is near and shades
the ant farm too much, the ant sets
to work and strips the tree of its
leaves. Its farm is kept clear of all
weeds and other growth, until the
crop is ready to harvest, which is in
the latter part Of June, and consists
of tall, yellowish grass. With great
care the ant cuts the seed from the
stalks and stores them for it's future
sustenance. The harvesting done, the
dry stubble is cut. and the weeds once
more take possession Of the ground.
Agricultural ants frequently injure
fields and destroy many an acre Of
produce, for, when making their clear
ings they ruthlessly cut down corn,
cotton, wheat, or anything else that
chances to be. in the way. When once
they take possession of a piece Of
ground they absolutely refuse to be
driven away until they have harvested
a crop of "ant-corn."

A LITTLE THING TO DO.
But It Was the Kind that Tests Man

But It Was the Kind that Tests Mans
| Breeding.
'There are some lovely men in the
| world, even If they are scarce"
1t was a pretty girl who thus philo-
sophically mingled optimism and pes-
simism in her view Of the less assuring
half of humanity. She proceeded to
illustrate her position as follows to the
New York Times:
1.-THE other day I had to 60 down..
town by myself. I am not so very used
to going down town, and there is a
preponderance of masculinity down
there that always scares me a little.
This time I went on the elevated and
got off at Rector street. 1t was about
10 in the morning, and the train and
station were black with men.
There was not a woman, sister
woman, to be seen when the lace of my
skirt caught in something just as
was leaving the car, and with loud,
triumphant z-zip-p ripped off to the ex-
tent Of about two yards. There was,
all this white stuff hanging, and had
to get rid Of it some way. I stepped to
one side and began trying to tear the
lace across, but 1t was as strong as the
sewing proved weak; not thread Of it
would give. Every one Of the stream
of men passing turned his head to look
at me struggle, and could feel my face
crimson with exertion and mortifica-
ton.
THAT kind of situation has hash
eesh effect, and, though it seemed like,
hours, 1 suppose it was only minute,
till a gentleman, busily talking to
companion, passed close to me, and,
hardly turning his eyes my way, held
out an opened pocket knife; then he
walked on very slowly and apparently
absorbed in conversation. 1t was the
work of second to sever the lace, roll
it up in my bag, and return him his
knife.
my gratitude was too deep to ex-
press itself in what the plays call the.
smooth, hollow phases Of society
am not sure that opened my lips, but
I am sure that looked things unutter-
able.
"He took the knife with just the
slightest bow, and, touching his hat,9
returned to his muttons with his
friend.

but it was just the kind of little thing

what they need. Everybody who raises
fowls should make provision for some
green stuff for the winter. A little
patch of winter grain, alfalfa, rescue
grass, turnips, beets, cabbage or any
root or vegetable that fowls will eat
is good for them and will encourage
hens to lay. Hens have no almanac,
and the only way they have for distin-
gushing the seasons is by the sort of
stuff they have to eat. Feed spring
Victuals and give physical comfort, and
you will have eggs to eat if not to sell.

A head of fluffy yellow curls, two
big blue eyes, a turned-up nose, but
tonhole for a mouth,-that was Dorry.
The very sunniest little fellow in all
the world.
Always ready to drop his playthings
to run Of errands, that was the rea-
son he was asked so many times a
day by papa, mamma and aunties.
A new aunt had come to visit them,
and Dorry was not surprised to see
her approach him with a letter in her
hand.
Dear little Thistledown, will you
take this to the mail-box for me?"
Dorry tossed aside his spade, took
the letter, and ran to the corner. But,
when he got there, he was puzzled; /;
for there were two iron boxes instead
of one. Which was the letter-box?
One had a door, so he opened it, put
the letter in very hard, so it would
stay, and shut the door.
Hark! What was that noise? Away
down the street came the sound Of bell
and gong. Nearer and nearer, until
up dashed a fire-engine, the smoke
pouring from it, and the firemen in
their great hats ready for work.
Dorry was surprised. Where was
the fire? Around the corner came a
hose-cart followed by another. The
firemen ran from house to house, look
ing for the fire. The neighbors Won
dered If it could be in the house next
to theirs.

the boy who sounded the alarmr' said
the fire-chief; and all the little boys
trembled in their shoes at the sound
of his voice.
IT have found what the trouble is,"
said the fireman, holding up letter.
Il knew it would be the way when
those new boxes that could be opened
without keys were put up"
''Why, that's my letter. cried Aunt
Fan.
Dorry's heart gave a great throb. 1t
was the very letter he had taken to
the corner a few moments before. He
had put it in the fre-alarm box in
stead of the letter-boX.
'Will they put me in jail?' he whis-
pered, creeping close to Aunt Fan.
..Not this -time," said the chief, ''be-
cause you made mistake; but, If you
should ever do it again. I cannot say
what would be DONE"
But Dorry never did it again.-Our
Little Ones.
