The Latest Grist From M. Quad's'
 Arizona Kicker"

Thousands of people in Persia, India, Africa, and other countries across the water are asking: What is the Ari- zona Kicker? Who is it that runs the western half of the United States?" We propose to devote a column of space to answer these questions and post in- quirers. t.
 In the first place, the Kicker is the greatest weekly newspaper on earth.
 We founded it on the ruins of a eu- chre deck. and two old horse blankets and yet the third number had scarcely been issued when good share of the American continent began to tremble.
 Our first issue consisted of only 150 copies, while our last lacked only d few of the billion-dollar mark.
 Our first press was made of blanks and beams, and we worked it ourself Our office is now equipped with sixty six rotary presses, each one of which is capable of turning out 1,000.OO0 copies an hour and we employ 132 pressmen.
 We had to run in debt for half bun dle of white paper for the first issue. l issue was printed was $253 2S4. and we paid for it in advance. Those rolls of paper. if pasted together. would reach sixteen times around the earth and have enough to spare to print all the daily papers in America for a week.
 Over 5000 persons are employed in our office altogether, and the editorial staff numbers $40 geniuses, who are paid from $500 to 5000 per week salary.
 In getting out an issue we use seven dictionaries. five encyclopedias. fifteen histories. forty family almanacs, over fifty biographies and something Ike 2,OOO war maps.
 It takes 1S0 men ten hours per day to open our mail and enter the sub scriptions, and twice per day our money is taken to the bank in a four-horse moving van. Our private vault at the bank is fifty feet long. twentytwo feet wide and eighteen feet high, and at the present writing it won't hold over three or four more bills.
 Subscriptions are being received ev- cry two or three minutes from every part of the known world, and we keep a staff of forty four linguists to read and interpret the various foreign let ters. It takes 312 typesetting machines to set the type for each issue, and our staff of artists, each one of whom is under yearly contract, numbers 210.
 As to the Kicker's political influence, we may modestly mention that it elect ed Mckinley twice. It brought on the Spanish-American war and freed Cuba and licked Spain. It brought on the Boer war and licked the Boers. It has bluffed England. threatened Germany, and made up faces at Russia. It has elected or downed over 200 members of congress, and passed or defeated over 800 important measures.
 The sultan of Turkey and the shah of Persia subscribe to it because they fear it. The Kicker hobnobs with may ors. sways governors and advises the president, and for six hours previous to each issue 10000, 900 people in Amer

MURDERER WAS LONESOME
Was Not Seeking Blood Nor to Escape
 but Wanted to Talk.

''The primeval simplicity that existed some years ago and still exists to coli siderable extent in Charles county" re- marked Maryland man in a Washing ton hotel, was illustrated in a murder case in the neighborhood of Port To- bacco," says the Washington Post. "A young countryman named Cooking was arrested, charged with having killed his wife and sister-in-law, who were found dead in bed. Suspicion pointed to Cock ing because he. was the only other per son living in the house. and there were rumors that he and has wife had been on bad terms.
 Cooking was brought to town under "a guard of deputy sheriffs, of whom i was one. We put up at a local inn, and one of the crowd produced a deck of cards and everybody proceeded to make himself comfortable. Those who did not care to play went to their rooms, and one of these was an artist on a Baltimore paper, who had come down to draw pictures to accompany the story that his colleague, the reporter, was to write.
 "The artist was not very sleepy, and about o'clock in the morning he was

ica hold their breath and feel an uneasy movement of the earth.
 The number of advertisements pub lished in the Kicker last week was not far from 5000, 900 900, each one of which returned the advertiser 1000 per cent profit. Send your copy in early and avoid the rush.
 That's about all in regard to the greatest paper ever created by human hands. Remit by draft, check, or mon ey order, and don't attempt to work off any confederate currency on us.
 AS to the owner. editor, proprietor and boss of the Arizona Kicker, his name is James Hellso-commonly known as Jim. The name of Hellso dates back to 4.2s0 years B. c. It IS generally accented on the first syllable.
 Our first ten years were passed in a cooper shop; our next ten in a cheese factory. Having thus fitted ourself for the editorial harness, we came west and established the Kicker.
 Our genius was acknowledged after we killed our third man, but was not fully recognized until our fourteenth was laid away.
 
 graveyard in the world. We bury all of our victims at our own expense. We always ride at the head of the funeral procession. Our arsenal consists of two quick firing six-pounders, one bomb mortar, one seacoast gun, fifteen Win chesters, eighteen revolvers and two dozen bowie knives. and we are pre- pared to turn loose at moments mo- tice.
 We are mayor, postmaster. senator, game warden, deputy United States marshal, colonel of militia. foreman of fire company, fish commissioner, leader of a church choir owner of the only opera house and confidential ad- wiser of the governor.
 We are the It.
 The Rocky mountains extend a trife farther than we do. but that is sim pie detail.
 The United States might not go to smash in case of our death. but there is no doubt that war and panic would follow.
 The world at large tried for several years to do without us. but she had to come to time at last. Our personal in- fuence Is now felt as much in Con- stantinople as in Giveadam Gulch. We own the bey of Algiers just as much as we do Mark Hanna. There are would be imitators,. but they are not sue cess. There is only one It. and we are the critter. Don't let your druggist sell you something "just as good" De mand the original and only, and take no other.
 P. S.-We stop our sixty-six presses and $40 editors to announce that our circulation has gone up another bill lion, and that we must add seventy five more presses and 800 more editors to our outfit.
 Later-We have also been appointed as notary public by the governor of Arizona.

guard-The right-hand swing is practi- cally the reverse of the left It Is better blow, however, and it must be delivered from a greater distance, since the left of the body is always forward in boxing.
 A boxer must be very sure of being able to deliver this swing before trying it. He must also be careful that his forearm does not strike the elbow of the opponents guarding arm, if he cares to escape an unpleasant surprise.
 To guard. throw up the left arm Il, little further in front of the face than the right when guarding a left swing Place the elbow at the height of the eyes. and the instant that your oppo- nent's right comes in contact with your forearm, raise and slant the arm we'll so that the momentum of the blow will be carried away from the intended mark
 Right-hand swing and the dodge 1T the opponent has a habit of hitting with the straight left-not the swing watch for such a chance, and when his fist almost reaches your nose, simultan- eously throw your head to the right ard
 
 This will cause the opponents fist to shoot harmlessly by to the left of your head over your shoulder. Then, while his body is still being carried forward by the momentum of the misspent blow. straighten up and throw the right fist, in sort of half swing. into his face
 This is an effective blow, but as it is hard to deliver. 1t takes practice. and. therefore, is splendid for purposes of physical culture.
 To guard. simply raise the shoulder over which the right has to travel to reach the face. Nothing could be easi- CT. and it effectively keeps the fist from fulfilling it's ambition.
 Back-hand blow - There is much pleasant diversion and surprise in the back-hand blow.
 The opponent will often lean his body and head back, as you swing for him, and enjoy your discontinue as your fist passes harmlessly in front of his face. And perhaps at the same time he quick ly straightens up and tries to land a blow.
 In that event, if you have swung the right arm, bring it back from the left ol biC OBpOAChA . OONS Aoil0 tAS back of your fist squarely on his jaw, or do the same with the left arm, if it has been swung.
 The back-hand blow can be easily avoided by bringing up the right arm and hand a little higher when ducking back out of the way of a swing; or, do not straighten up and throw the head forward too soon.
 Right and left-hand swing-Your op- ponent may be enamored of the habit of lodging and ducking and leaning back, especially when he is tired. Right here watch for a good chance to deliver right and left hand swing, which is ex- ecuted as follows:
 Land a half left-hand swing with moderate speed, and the instant the left has done it's work and is coming back to guard, rapidly shoot in right-hand swing on the opposite side of the oppo- nent's face.
 AS the rapid jerking of the head, ne- cessary to lodging and ducking, makes a boxer more or less dizzy, the oppo- nent will be taken off guard and so sur prised that he will make scarcely any attempt at retalia ton, and if the. blows are rightly delivered, he will ask leave to take a rest.
