THE AGE OF ANN
That Artful Girl Needn't Try to Con-
ceal 1t Any Longer.

The age of Ann. which that female.
after the manner of those of her sex
that is, those of uncertain age-has
been concealing so long. has at last
Nbeen disclosed, and she may as well
own up. The average man never would
have found out, but DIR. John A. Lentz.
who has acquired the art of telling the
age of people by the teeth as some
people are able to tell the age of
horse. has let the cat out of the bag.
though he pretends that it was done by
an algebraic trick, which he demon
strates as follows:

"To the Editor of the Republican:
"Sir.-I notice in todays' Republican
the statement that the Mary and Ann
problem is an impossibility. 1 offer
the following as a simple, and L be

as old as Ann was when Mary was as
old as Ann is now.

JOHN a. LENT"
The finding of DR.. Lentz is corrob-
Grated by "A High School Girl" who
arrives at the same figures by the use
of only one unknown quantity. high
ly logical proceeding, since there was
only one thing to be found out. He
solution is as follows:
Ann is eighteen.
Mary is twenty-four years old. She
is twice as old as Ann was when Mary
was as old as Ann is now. How old
is Ann?
Solution:
Let x equal AIMS age now.
Also equal Marys' age when she
was as old as Ann is now.
% minus equals difference between
Mary's age now and her age when she
was years old

Thus ok minus 24) equals "a.

Eighteen years is the age of Ann.
Proof: Mary is twenty-four years
old
Ann is eighteen years old.
Ann was twelve years old when she

eHce in years between AIMS age now

VIOLATED POSTAL LAWS
Inspector Sharp Places Definite
Charges Against A. A. Pratt.

Sometime ago Sheriff Roberts went
to Salt Lake City, arrested A. A. Pratt,
former resident of Wickenburg and
brought him back to Arizona on a
chorge of swindling. There WIS an
air of mystery about the proceeding
and the name of his victim and the
method of Pratt's operations We're not
made public, in fact do not seem 10
have been made public yet and prob
ably will not be till he comes to trial.
The story of his arrest was printed in
The Republican at the time and caused
considerable interest from the factthau
Pratt was we'll known, both in Wicken-
burg and Phoenix having been at one
time acting postmaster at the former
place, and having a considerable nuni-
Der of friends. Further when he left
these parts it was with no attempt at
secrecy and his arrest therefore oc-
casioned great surprise. But while the
original charge against him is still
more or less wrapped in mystery, it was
stated at the time that other charges
were pending and some light on their
nature is thrown by. the following III

All oil offered for sale must bear tag with the fac simile of the signature of the Auditor and of the State Chemist, Professor B. B. Ross of Auburn
 According to the law these tags are to be sold to wholesale dealers at half a cent a gallon. The wholesaler buys the tags and puts them upon the vessels holding the oil when he sells 1t to the retailers.
 Any firm or corporation selling illumi- mating oil in Alabama may have It's oil tested by the State Chemist Heavy penalties are provided for the firm. per son or corporation which sells oil that Is not up to the guarantee. Nearly all States, 1t is said, have oil inspecting laws.
