A Wise Newspaper Man.

A Wise Newspaper Man.
"Who's Hinds?' asked the man upon
whom afterward devolved the duty Of
counting a quorum in the house of repre-
sentatives
Hes n newspaper man who has made
himself the best parliamentarian in Maine
rejoined the friend.
Mr.. Reed sought out Kinds and soon
after their meeting offered to take him
to Washington as his clerk. Before their
friendship had ended Kinds had pursued
his studies of parliamentary law so far
that Mr.. Reed frequently and frankly
admitted himself to be outclassed by his
clerk,
The True Importance of the Position.
Mr.. Kinds had been at his post at the
speakers desk Tor nearly four years be-
fore the house became impressed with the
Importance of his position. 1t was just
before the war with Spain was declared
that this came about. Speaker Reeds
aversion to the meremention of the pos
sibilities of war was well known to the
members. Many of his own party were ruff
fled by his obstnacy and only waited the
time to join with the democrats and fig

ticer in blanket One day there was
hot debate, Senator Il Hey of Texas. who
was then the democratic leader on the
floor. had engaged the house in parlia-
mentaly puzzle which became more and
more evolved as the debate proceeded.
The time seemed suspicious for the toss
ing to begin. Speaker Reed, unexpectedly,
made ruling which, if maintained, would
| put a stop to the disorder. 1t was ques'
! toned by republicans and democrats
alike. but he cited precedents In such con-
fusion that the house was forced to ac-

TIME FOR REPENTENCE
Of Which Liberal Period Was Given
 J. Wilson.

J. Wilson, the bartender, will have plenty of time to repent of spree which until Monday morning had occu pied the greater part of his time for d week.
 He was arrested on Monday morning charged with passing worthless check for $10 drawn upon the Valley bank upon Frank McClintock. It turned out after his arrest that he had passed several of those checks for the same amount upon other persons. w. M. Mayors got one of them and he also made complaint
 Wilson was not greatly worried by the condition in which he found him self he thought he saw an easy way out. He has a wealthy father in the south, anL he had no doubt that requisition for any amount of money would be honored. He expected that the old man would fall upon his neck by telegraph and that, if not a. fatted calf there would be d fat check with which he could square himself with the law. No reply to his telegram had been received yesterday and he was told beside. when he was brought before Justice Burnett, that that fact really made no difference to him. The case had gone too far. Wilson then pleaded guilty and on the first charge he was sentenced to ninety days in county jail and to pay a fine of S30. He was sentenced on the second charge to i'm prisonment for sixty days and to pay $50 fine. It is not likely that the fines will ever be collected, but there is no way for him to avoid the rest of the punishment.
 Wilson said he would not have com mitted the crime if he had not been drunk. At the same time the state ment showed that he was not altogether devoid Of reasoning powers at the time he put the checks in circulation. He was acquainted with the men to whom he gave them, and knowing that he had no money in the bank he figured that though he would have none anywhere on Monday morning, he would have time to go around and see his victims and obtain a further extension of time in which to make good.

 A somewhat unusual communication was received by the council from four men, Messrs. McCann, Ware, Butts, Remson and Lee, alleging the i'll treat ment of horses and men employed by the city by J. Emery corral foreman. They requested an investiga ton. It was ordered, Councilman Messinger having already announced that he was ipquiring into the matter.
 The official bond of the city marshal was aI1rCved and the bond of Building Inspector Norton was handed back for correction as to form. To satisfy the bOndsmen of the city treasurer the recorder was instructed to make the surety company a certified copy of the minutes of the council containing the report of MT. Foster who audited the treaurer's accounts for last year. The reports of the assessor and tax collector for August were referred to the finance committee.

RAISED THE SIEGE.

An irritable old gentleman, whose fruit trees were subjected to frequent pillage, discovered youth secluded ip the branches of one of them.
 'Har" he exclaimed triumpha ntly, T have got you this time, you young ras- cal. Come down at once, I tell youi"
 "Oh. mo- replied the youth calmly; Catch me coming down and you
 Very we'll said the gentleman; I wait until you do."
 All right" was the answer And the pair commenced to eye each other.
 When an hour had passed. and the siege was getting tiresome. a bright idea occurred to the youth. He pluck ed an apple. took a good aim, and hit the old gentleman on the head.
 Whats that for?' demanded the be- sieger. looking up.
 ''Weel, it's like this: I'm going ro pelt you until there's not an apple left. unless you promise not to strike me, for if I'm going to get a licking, I'm going to have some sport for it.
 The old gentleman reluctantly agreed to raise the siege.-Cassell's Journal.

THE ROAD TO TONTO
Councilman Sanders Plan for Aiding
 in Its Construction.

Councilman Sanders is desirous that q road be constructed from Phoenix to the Tonto Basin dam site. He believes that the route proposed by MT. Arthur r. Davis, though perhaps not the cheapest, is the best because it is the shortest and will undoubtedly be the cheapest in the end. MT. Sanders real izes the difficulty of aiding in the con- struction of the road to the extent of slUu,UUU as MT. Davis suggested. He does not believe that it would be pos sibie to raise any sum near that amount by subscription. Nor does he believe that any part of the burden should be put upon the farmers who would derive the least benefit from it, and who be- side have already burdened themselves to the amount of s15 an acre for the construction of the dam.
 The plan proposed by MT. Sanders therefore is that the city, the chief beneficiary of such a. road, should pay the amount required by the govern ment and that the amount be raised by an issue of bonds. Under the pres ent law the councilman says he is aware that the city could not make such an issue since the road would not be in the nature of a municipal improvement, but he believes that the city could order the issue and have the action of the council legalized at the next session of congress.
 H mentioned that that was the way Tucson got it's present system of water works. It had been authorized by q special act of congress to issue bonds for the construction of water works, and after the bonds had been issued it was found that the city could do better

by purchasing the private system. That could not be done under the law by which the bonds had been issued, but congress passed an enabling act allow ing the bonds which had already been voted to be used for the purchase of the old system.

A CHICAGO VISITOR
Alderman II. J. kenna Spending a
 Few Days Here.

Michael J. Kenna of Chicago, accom- panied by his wife and nephew, ar rived here yesterday morning for d visit of two or three days, and are the guests of Gus H. Hirschfeld. MT. Ken ma is one of the best known men in Chicago, influential in politics and widely known all over the country.
 MT. Kenna is a democratic member of the Chicago board of aldermen, and has the proud distinction of represent ing the First ward, which is known as the richest ward not only in Chicago but in any city of the United States or the world. That he is popular person. ally is attested to by the fact that vot- ing for him has become such a con- firmed habit that the republicans of that ward have quit nominating a man to run against him.
 The party left Chicago about six weeks ago for an outing tour in the west, and the time since then has been very busily spent. the itinerary includ- ing most of the notable parts of the country between the rocky mountain region and the Pacific.
 Some time was spent in Colorado Springs and the Yellowstone National park, after which the Puget Sound country was visited. From there they travelled down through California. vis- ited Los Angeles, Catalina Island and other southern California resorts, and then came to Phoenix. From here they will go to the Grand Canyon and then east again. At Catalina Island MT. Kenna landed a sea bass that is said to have weighed better than 300 pounds. He thought it was a whale.
 He came to Phoenix entirely through curiosity prompted by the stories of many of his friends who journey here annually from the windy city and who give this burg the best of recommenda- tions. The best of it is that he is glad he came and is enthusiastic both over the climate, which at this time is not disagreeable, and over the fine ap- pearance of the town. He says he has seldom seen a place of it's size so well laid out, so metropolitan in it's appear ance. and presenting so many modern conveniences He drove over the val ley somewhat and last evening took a horseback ride to the ranch of Thomas McGinniss, northwest of town, MT. Me Ginniss being also a well-known Chi cago man and an old acquaintance.

FINE LEGUMINoUs CROP.
Tennessee Farmer Grows Enth asss
astic About the Possibilities
of Hairy vetch.

After seeing the hairy vetch grown
in a Smell way for two or three years,
/ have concluded that it is bound to
become one of the most important OF
our leguminous crops In this lati-
tude it may be sown n September or
October, and cut for hay in May, thus
giving ample time to follow 1t with
a corn crop. ! cannot say how much
hay it will yield per acre, as practical
ly all with which have dealt has been
saved for seed; but 1 do know that it
will grow four to five feet high on good
land. and this means that it will yield
enough to merit attention.
Analyses of the plant show that it
is very rich in protein, and anything
that will help to balance the usual eX-
cess of the carbonaceous elements in
our rations is undoubtedly needed by
most farmers. For hay. it should be
cut when in full bloom. If sown alone
it will be hard to handle, but when
sown with equal parts of wheat or
oats, it is readily managed.
As a cover crop it is especially val
liable. furnishing pasture in both fall
and spring and adding large quantities
of nitrogen to the soil. Some soils. it
is said. must be inoculated with the
bacteria which produce the nodules
on its roots before the vetch will grow
well; but in my experience this has
never been necessary. 1t grows well
on variety of soils and under widely
far less particular in this respect than
crimson clover. Where few seeda
were dropped in pasture. they came
up and grew readily; and the Arkansas
experiment station recommends 1t for
sowing on Bermuda sods. the two fur.
nishing pasture nearly all the year.
Owing to the high price of the seed
at present. most farmers will probably
find it Improbable except for seed.
We sow it at the rate of one-haf to
one bushel per acre. 1t is cut when
the bulk of the seed seems ripe. and
threshed in an ordinary grain thresh-
er. 1t will yield from six to ten BUSH
els per acre; and the latter figure may
be exceeded on good lands. If the seed
is wanted pure. it must be sown alone;
Put this means some extra labor In
handling. 1t will reseed itself when
allowed to ripen, one piece of land
which was sown only once having pro-
duced two crops of vetch and one OF
corn. and having good stand of vetch
growing on it at present.
In all the southern half of the coun-
try. winter cover crops are a neces-
sity if the land is to be improved. and
for this PURPOSE I know of nothing
better than hairy vetch. This. to-
gether with its value for hay and pas
ture. is my reason for the opinion with
which began this paper.-E. L. Miller,

LESSON FROM NATURE.
How She Il Working Continually to
Maintain the Richness of the
Virgin Soil.

Nature made the lands, in a great
part of our states, rich and fertile.
How did she do it? If we study nature
and note how she is working to main
tain the richness of the land and how
she has been doing to build up the soil,
then, possibly we can, if we will. stop
this waste. For thousands of years
where timber has grown on the land,
the annual crop of leaves has been de-
posted on the ground, and the trunks
and branches of the trees. one after
another, have fallen on the ground and
decayed, becoming vegetable mold.
Occasionally. tree would turn up by
the roots, thus bringing up portion
Of the subsoil and setting it on edge so
that the elements-the air, sun, frost
and rain-could act on it, and make
soluble and available the plant food
contained in it. AS this subsoil,
brought up by the overturning trees,
is crumbled and levele down through
the processes of nature, it buries up a
large amount of the decaying leaves
and wood that have fallen on the
ground, and in this way the land is
