Case of Diamond Cut Diamond OH an
Arizona Stage-HOw He Lost and
Regained His Seat.

There is at least one old-fa shioned
stage line in Arizona, memorial of
frontier days, says writer in the

fellow citizens who is interested in
great numbering operations in the
Flagstaff territory, land found the
ride on the coach rare treat. On
the front seat there was room for
three. The driver sat on the right.
l on the left, and a stranger in be-
tween. The latter began to look un-
easy after we had gone about Is miles,
and finally whispered to me: I am
afraid 1 am about to be sick, sir;
would you exchange places with me for
a moment? 1 could not make the ex-
change too quickly.
'The seat in the middle was tight
squeeze, but l patiently submitted.
Five minutes passed, ten, twenty, for
ty, an hour. Not a sign from my
friend. He seemed to be enjoying the
scenery. I said at last: II understood
you to say that you felt sick
les, quite true; nau uecIueu
feeling of nausea. But the air out here
appears to agree with me, and the feel
ing has passed off,
"Then you will give me back my
seat
"'Oh, not at all. This is an old trick
I learned in New York; get anything
you can in any way you can, and hold
on to it,

keeled him over by the roadside, re.
marking, as I put my hand on my pis-
toll: That's an old trick l learned
in New York in the free school for
hogs
HE got up, brushed the dust off, and
entered the coach in silence"

Adverse Opinion from Naval Officers
May Cut OF Appropriation for
Further Experiment.

Three important naval officers took
such strong grounds against submarine
torpedo boats in their present stage of
development before the senate naval
committee that it is possible no appro-
priation will be made at this session
for the purchase of craft of this type.
Rear Admiral Bowles thought it mad
visable to experiment further with the
Holland boat, while Admiral Bradford
quoted Admiral Won Tirpitz, head OF
the German navy, as saying: Il am
so sure that they are of no value that
7 refuse to waste any fore time in ex-
perimenting with them" Capt. Sigs-
bee expressed tho opinion that it
would be we'll to g slow for the pres
snt and not purchase 80 or 40 subIna-
zine boats.
