The listener put out her foot and shut
the register noiseIessly. She had had a
surfeit OF disagreeable truth for that
time.
Yet it was truth. every word Of it.
She was a mean-sDirited hanger-on to
her brother. She was incapable Of
earning a livelihood by other means
than those he had named. Her mode of
life from her infancy had untitled her

Dead Stock

Saturday morning I had a 10 a. m
appointment with Chicago man and
he had telephoned that he would be
an hour late. After debating in my
mind and waiting twenty minutes
decided to borrow paper and find a
desk and start this subject After
writing a few words a man came in
and laid a package on the desk and be-
gan talking with a man at a nearby
desk. Thinking he used the desk

Beat The Wheel.

In Douglas the roulette dealer in the Abbey saloon was held up by a bold highwayman Sunday night. The robber entered by the back door to the saloon and commanded all those in the saloon to line up against the wall. He told roulette Dealer Naser to hand over all the money in sight, which was promptly done. The amount taken by the robber is said to be over 5000. He then backed out of the door mounted a horse and crossed into Mexico. It is thought that he caught a train and went into the inter- for with large number of prospect ors and miners who left on the morn- ing train for the new gold field.

 Perhaps the heaviest casting ever made in Arizona was turned out of the Arizona Copper campany's foundry this week. It was a drum for the Longfellow hoist, and weighed more than four tons. It was made under the direction of Walter Stine, foreman of the foundry, who was assisted by Billy Roach. This immense casting was turned out without pebble, and the boys have reason to congratulate themselves upon their success-Cop- per Era.
