A HIGHWAY INCIDENT
Attempt to Hold Up Congress Stage
 Thursday Night.

Nose Lutfy, the stage driver and mail carrier between Congress and Martinez. came up to Prescott today and swore out a warrant for the ar rest of Juan Valencia, charging him with attempting to rob the stage Thursday night, says the Journal Miner It seems that as the stage was taking the mail from Martinez to Con Sress on the night above mentioned, q Mexican, whom Lutfy recognized as Valencia, stepped out into the road and pointing a SiX-shooter at him con- manded him to halt and come down. Lutfy thought at first that it was d joke and started the horses up a little, at the same time dodging down in the, gun, the ball shrinking in the wagon bow just above his head and just miss ing him. the only thing that saved his life being the fact that he had dodged down. The shot scared the horses and it was no trouble for the driver to ge: is Lufty positive of the identity of the attempted robber, .but the whole trans action was witnessed by d Mexican wo- man who identifies Valencia as the man.
 Constable Bosche was ordered to ar rest Valencia this afternoon and bring him to Prescott tomorrow. It is likely the government authorities will take the matter up.

 Well, there isn't any
 Very good There hasn't been any since President Mckinley was killed, has there?"
 Well. no," I admitted reluctantly, because l could see that my better half had been reading political science for q purpose and that purpose was to. get the better of me.
 There hasn't been any vice president for year or two, then?'
 l was forced to admit that such was the fact.
 And the country seems to get along all right without one?'
 But the president might die
 ITO be sure. but the law places others in line of succession, so that there wouldn't be any real vacancy, doesn' t it?"
 "Yes. of course. but
 "There are no buts about it; you pay man sS.OOO a. year to hang around ans do nothing but wait for another man to die. which happens perhaps once in q generation. Now, is that business sens or needless eXtravagance?
 I didn't know what to say, and so said nothing. and my wife continued to hit man after he was down, a very unsportsmarlike, but very spOrtswo- manlike, act on her part. "Yes, you men pay a man $S,000 d yea: for doing nothing, and then make d big fuss because a woman pays d few pal try dollars for a new hat.

A NEIGHBORHo0D DISTURBED
By the Continuous Correction of an
 Unruly Lad.

Captain Hi Mcdonald has been d peace preserycr in this town for more than generation and he has generally performed his functions well. His lat est exercise of his authority occurred in the vicinity of his own home near Five Points. A family had recently moved within q block of his house The family consists of ] father who is away from home the most of the tine five or six children of various ages and Q young woman, q relative of the family. The neighborhood at once began to be disturbed by the howls of one of the children, and it turned out that the young woman was licking him. The first day the punishment was continu- GUS, but it stopped at nightfall only to te resumed the next morning. There was hardly break in it that day, and it was carried along a little further into the night. The third day there was another continuous performance between the boy and the young woman and then Captain Mcdonald believed that the time had come for interference.
 He went over to the place of dis turbance and called the young woman to account. He told her ttat the thing would have to come to a stop or she would be arrested for cruelty to chill dren and animals and for the further offense of disturbing the neighborhood. About this time some of the neighbor- ing women began to arrive and told the captain that his interference was ill . timed; they said the little devil ought to be killed; they knew all about him. but they did not know why God had created him in the first place.
 The captain said that did not greatly alter the situation with respect to the disturbance of the neighborhood He was in favor of killing the boy if he needed it, but he would insist that it should be done quietly. and if neces- sary he would assist in the slaughter but he would not be kept awake while he was being slowly beaten to death Since then he has heard no further noise in that quarter and he has reason to believe that the boy is dead.

 You mean that?" said the actress.
 "Assuredly," replied the manager, continuing to laugh.
 Well adiGs," said the actress, and she raced into the water and swan straight for a white steam yacht that was anchored about three-q quarters of a mile from the shore. She had already made her plans to go abroad in that yacht and all of her clothing and other baggage was already abrcard Of the yacht She reached the yacht, climbed aboard the gansway. the anchor was hauled up, the tunnel began to belch smoke and cut of the harbor the yacht moved.

 The manager cabled her that sha could collect the two thousand from his London agent without making any draft. and added to his cablegram:

Relation of the Vice Presidency to the
 Price of Women's Hats.

It doesn't pay to argue with a woman. The other night when 1 arrived at home I found that my wife had bought new hat which may have fitted her head all right, but which was several sizes too large for my pocketbook. My previous experiences should have taught me wis dom, taught me better than to discuss the matter. but the trials of the days business had made me irritable and ! feit like complaining about something. and so l naturally complained of my wife's eXtrava gince.
 She answered the charge by saying You men are always charging us wo- men with extravaganza. but you neve- seem to think of your own failings in that line
 T don't know what you mean," l re- piled.
 Well, I'll tell "ou. You men run this great and glorious country. and you d. ways have, and you are, therefore, re- spcnsible for all it's weaknesses. Now

 The ministerial looking man said nothing and edged his chair little farther away.
 Just then the waiter appeared with a bowl of bean soup for patron on the other side of the table.
