4 TRYING POSITION
Phoenix Readers Will Appreciate
 This Advice.

A constant itching tries your pa tience.
 Nothing so annoying; nothing so irri- tating as Itching Piles or Eczema.
 To scratch the irritation makes it worse.
 To leave it alone means misery.
 Some Phoenix citizen can tell you how to be free from these troubles.
 Read the following:
 T. w. Hanks, of S01 North First st., for years employed with the Mccormick Implement CO, says: "I consider Deans Ointment one of the best preparations on the market. I was annoyed with itching hemorrhoids, commonly called piles. for six or seven years, latteriy continually. Sometimes the itching was so intense that it fairly set me wild, despite the fact that used everything I read about recommended for such ail- ments and everything which my friends advised. Finally my brother-in-law ad- vised me to take a certain course of treatment. and when I went to the Brisley Drug Co.'S store for it MT. Lar son advised me to try Doan's Ointmen-. l did so and l have never regretted taking his advice. The first application so soothed the irritated parts that I knew l had at last obtained something with more than ordinary merit. A con- tinuation of the treatment absolutely stopped the attack. A short time ago l scalded the toes on my right foot. Do3n's Ointment healed the burned part rapidly. When I say it beats any thing l ever tried or heard about for giving positive relief I only half state the facts.

GOOD MANANA STORY
Mexican With a Great Head but a
 Little Slow in His Movements.

An incident nicely Illustrating tine proverbial "slowness" oi the average Mexican. occurred at the Phoenix post office. He was close on the trail of twenty-five dollars in good American paper money but as usual he was a little too slow. The incident also illus trates that there is at least one honest man in Phoenix.
 Thursday afternoon a gentleman handed two ten dollar bills and a five dollar bill through the general delivery window to Clerk Reynolds. saying he had picked them up in the lobby of the pOstoffice and if was very likely the loser would be back and make some inquiry regarding the money when he could give it to the owner.
 The wait was not a long or tedious one fJr in less than fifteen minutes a well dressed lady, wearing a look of pain that could be seen a mile ap- preached the general delivery window and asked if anybody had said any thing about finding any money there about. MT. Reynolds gave her one quick glance and needed no further Identification. Anybody could have told by her countenance that she had
 
 Mir. Reynolds mind was whether or not the amount in his possession would cover her loss for the expression on her face suggested that she had lost a million. As a mere matter of form he asked her how much and what kiuI Of money it was and she answered promptly when he handed 1t over About fifteen minutes later a MeNi- 1 can approached the general delivery window and asked Mir. Reynolds ii he could speak to him privately. In the | interview that followed he told in | whispered tones how he had dropped | two ten dollar bills and a five dollar | bill somewhere in the postofiice lobby an hour or so before and he was won dering if anyone had picked it up and | left it with the clerk Co keep till he l called for if.
 | MT Reynolds gave him the best imi- | tation he could of a horse laugh and | the Mexican went away. He had over heard the honest finder telling his story

G. II. FOWLER SAFE
Avoided the s. P. Wreck and Also a
 Smashup in Mexico.

Considerable excitement was oc- casioned here yesterday morning by the publication in a contemporary of rumor that G. M. Fowler was prob ably one of the victims of the wreck at Vails station. MT. Fowler is in Masdalena. Sonora, and letter re- ceived from him yesterday announces that he was safe ,and sound at the time of it's writing)
 He did. however come upon the scene of wreck near Magdalera. shortly after it occurred, which was of more than passing interest 10 him in view O.: the fact that about a dozen residents and former residents of this city were on board the train, though none Of them were hurt. A full ac- count Of that wreck is given in another column from the pen of Chaplain Scott who was one of the Phoenix people re- ferTed t2.
 The movements of Mir. Fowler were so nearly connected with the incidents Of the Southern Pacific wreck that it is easy to see how the rumor started. He left here Monday night for Sonora. stopping over one day in Tucson. Tues day afternoon he took the Nogales train. better known as the burrO. which leaves Tucson q short time ahead O.; No. 8. He had told a party in Tucson Tuesday afternoon that he was going east that night and as the Tucson man thought it was then after the hour for the departure of the burro, he as- sumed that Mir. Fowelr took the next train and so informed MT. Fowler's relatives in Phoenix:
 An incident Of interest in connection with the death of Engineer Bruce in the s. P. wreck. is the fact that he was the engineer that pulled the Mckinley presidential train through Arizona.

Hov B. statue Started.

Very warlike is the aspect of singu- Jar equestrian statue in Belgium, yet yhere is no cause for alarm, since it is nothing but tree. Some ten years ago a police officer retired from the force and went to live near Charleroi. Be- ing an amateur horticulturist, he busted himself good deal with trees and flowers and one day as he was trimming a hawthorn in his garden it occurred to him that it would be a novel idea to train it in such a man. ner that it would eventually assume the figure of cavalry officer. At once he went to work, and after ten years labor he succeeded in transforming the tree into a perfect picture of m mounted soldier. The tree is known in the neigh borhood as "Gen. Hawthorn" and hardly day passes that strangers do not come from a considerab ble distance in order to view this wonderful ex- ample of horticultural art.-Detroit Free Press.

M'AvOY OF TRUCK 3.

Whether or not Fireman James Nc. Avoy wins department medal for the heroic rescue of his comrade, William McNally at the fire at Fifteenth street and First avenue on Sunday, is a mat tar for the future determination of those who have such business in charge. It is of no great importance anyway, for no bit of metal can en- phasize the splendid character of his feat. For the intrepid fireman it is enough to know that his fellows in the department, used as they are to daily acts of bravery, willingly and ungrudg. ingly concede to him the right to wear now, and for so long as he lives, the fame-forged badge of courage. Mo Nally may die as the result of the in juries he received before his comrade ~ould get to him, but the deed of Me. Avoy will live and brighten the record of the department. so rich in the achievements of heroes.
 From the days of Huais. the Irish king, the McAvoys have been a great sect in doing the strenuous things of life. Never, however, was there a Me. Avoy in Queens of Westmeath a finer broth of a lad than the McAvoy of Truck 3, county New York. To the whole line of them, long life and more power.-New York Sun.

ssFIoating Gardens" of Mexico.

Nature and man work together with uncommon accord in forming the cele- brated floating gardens" of the Lakes Chalco and Xochimilco, near the City of Mexico. An English naturalist, who recently visit ed them and found them a paradise, tells how they grow. Float ing clumps of entangled peat, moss, rushes and grass are caught, com bined and anchored by stakes, or long sap lings of willows and poplars, which are driven into the muddy bottom, where they soon take root. Fertile mud is then ladled up and heaped on the float until 8 real island is formed, which is quickly transformed into a garden where are grown flowers, melons, gourds and other kinds of produce which are daily carried to market through canal leading into the city. There are hundreds of such gardens on the lakes.--Youths' Companion.

NEW LIQUOR TAX LAW.
Governor Odell Signs the Greene Elk
 ciSe Bill

else Bill.
 ALBANY, N. Y., May Ex-Governor Odell has signed Senator Greene's bill amending the liquor tax law in the re- spects asked for by the state excise commissioner. It authorizes the ap- pointment of a second deputy commis- sioner at salary of $3,5OO and under bond of $20,OOO. It changes to half and half in accordance with the division of the excise receipts the proportion of various expenses to be paid by the state and localities and authorizes the employment of special assistant district attorneys to conduct excise litigation when required by district attorneys. The most important change involved In the new law is the estab ablishment of system of stamp taxes or druggists sales of liquor. Under this provision druggists may sell i'll quantities not ex- ceeding one pint without physicians certificate, but each such pint must bear ten cent stamp to be furnished by the excise department. Only one such sale may be made to any one per- son on any one day. The sales are sub- ject to all restrictions as to hours, no license votes and other matters, and record of names, dates and quantity sold must be kept. ..sr The bill also reduces the penalty on a tax bond to the amount, plus one-haf, of the tax for one year at the place li- censed provided that no penalty be less than $500. The police are to be mo- tified immediately of the revocation of any license The bill reduces from five to three years the time after conviction of violation before a new certificate can be issued, and it meets recent court decisions by striking out the require ment that the certificate holders an- swer to complaint must be sworn statement certifying guilt or innocence. It also comedies to the liquor dealers that second conviction for violation in order to effect revocation of license must be the second within the same li- cense year A further concession at1- thorizes the court upon conviction for single sale of liquor without license to impose minimum fine of one-half the regular tax for that place for one | year.

All you have to do is to tuck it away in an attic somewhere and keep it for about 200 years, by which time 1 will have become one of the old masters. Then you can sell it easily for 5000 You see, know the rules, but unfor- tunately I am not in a financial posi- tion to carry them out.
