A Curious PRAYER.

In the State OF Ohio there resided
family consisting of an old man by
the name of Beaver and his three sons,
all of whom were hard pets" who
had often laughed to scorn the advice
and entreaties Of pious though very
eccentric minister who resided in the
same town. 1t happened one Of the
boys was bitten by a rattlesnake and
was expected to die, when the minis
ter was sent for in great haste. On his
arrival he found the young man very
penitent and anxious to be prayed
with. The minister, calling on the
family, kneeled down and prayed in
this wise:
ooh, Lord, we thank thee for rattle
snakes; we thank thee because rat
tlesnake has bitten Jim. We pray thee
send a rattlesnake to bite John; send
one to bite Bill; and, oh, Lord, send
the biggest kind of a rattlesnake to
bite the old man, for nothing but rat
tlesnakes will ever bring the Beaver
family to repentancev'

FLOWERS IN MEXICO.
Natives Inherit Their Love of Them

Natives Inherit Their Love of Them
from Long Line of Ancestors.
AS a people the Mexicans are very
fond of flowers, and every village,
town and city has its place where
flowers are sold, and many of the
larger places have extensive flower
markets. Often the flowers brought
to the market are wild, specimens
found in the woods and the fields, but
all are beautiful. In many of the
smaller towns and villages the public
parks and the sidewalks Of the streets
are used as places for tAe sale of flow
ers. Everywhere they may be bought
at surprisingly low prices So plenti-
full are flowers, they are used for great
public decorations. Sometimes whole
parks and the fronts Of buildings for
many streets are covered with floral
decorations on fecst day
The Mexican love of flowers has
been inherited from a long line of
f1ower-lov1ng ancestors. More than
thousand years ago the chief feature
Of worship among the Toltecs was the
great floral offering which was made to
the fair god once year, and which
lasted for a whole Mexican week.
During this festival one Of the fea-
lures was great floral procession,
which traversed the principal streets Of
the city to the sound Of musical instru-
ments. Everyone in the procession
carried flowers to lay upon the altar
of the god or to place upon the steps
or walls Of his temple. In this process
sion were princes, mobiles, priests and
commoners. This floral festival was
an expression of the love Of nature for
which the Toltecs were noted. Until
they came into contact with the Aztecs
later on in history they were purely
nature worshipers, and flowers and
fruits formed the chief part of their
offerings. SO the Mexican comes by
his love of flowers honestly.

The Word Picnic.

The derivation Of the word picnic Is
uncertain. In London Notes and Que
ries Of 1853 attempts were made to
trace it's origin.
One correspondent says:
"Under a French form the word ap-
pears in a speech Of Robespierre, 'C'est
lei kqu'il doit m'accuser, ct non dams
les piquesniques' An earlier instance
occurs in one of Lord Chesterfeld's
letters, dated October, 1749"
Another writer Of the same date
tries to trace the word from France
into Italy. Starting with the assump-
ton that piquenique in French implies
party at which each guest provides
some particular dish or performs some
special duty, he finds the italian ex-
pressions nicchia duty and piccola "a
trifing service), and from these he
coins piccola nicchia Cpicnic).
A French encyclopedia, 1S43, has it
that the word is compounded Of the
simple English pick Ito choose) and
nick Gin the nick Of time, on the spur
of the moment). In France the term
is also used for indoor picnics.

BILE, received shock four years ago
that left me in such condition that
my life was despaired Of. I could get
no relief from doctors nor from the
numberless heart and nerve medicines
I tried because l didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the doctors could put me ahead.
FINALLY at the request Of friend
I left off coffee and began the use Of
Postum, and against my convictions
gradually improved In health until for
the past six or eight months I have
been entirely free from nervousness
and those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
OF coffee, which had drunk from
childhood, and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the use

SHE WOULD BE A WIDOW
Mrs. Clarence Jones, Formerly of Phoenix Tried to Kill Her Husband.

Clarence Jones, a former Phoenix boy. was nearly murdered by his wife at Tucson last week. Mrs. Jones then capped this crime by eloping with Ia Southern Pacific engineer. Jones received injuries by a knife which has laid him up but it is not thought that they will turn out to be more serious
 This affair of the Joneses will not surprise any of their Phoenix ac- quaintances for the whole six years of their married life had been made up of a series of quarreis more or less violent Mrs. Jones was Kate Raby who was raised in this city from early girlhood.
 Jones who is a bricklayer, left Phoe- nix with his wife for the southern part of the territory about year ago. They were at Douglas, Blsbee and Naco and had recently moved to Tue son. The attempted killing was pre- cipitated last Friday by a woman of the town, an inhabitant of Gay Alley by the name of Red" The Joneses had lately rented a lodging house where Mrs. Jones was frequently visited by the woman from Gay Alley against the objections of Jones who did not want his children raised in the kind of atmosphere which sur rounded Red" One day when the woman was at the house he ordered her out. The woman then began to urge Mrs. Jones to make a widow of herself and the arguments which she | brought to bear were so forcible that Mrs. Jones attacked Jones with a butcher knife. Red" meanwhile standing by calling to her to cut his | heart out.
 Jones received several bad cuts but | he succeeded in fighting his wife off and later he procured the arrest of ! Red" who was fined. Jones had a bank account against which either he or his wife could draw. The wife first drew enough to pay the fine of the woman and later depleted the ac- count entirely.
 She returned to the lodging house gathered up the clothing of her two children, aged respectively three and five, burned it and packing her own clothing into a trunk along with that of Red left the city in the company of the engineer. This was on Satur-
 day night. The trio was last seen al | Benson.
 When Jones was a boy it was not predicted that he would develop into very useful citizen but as he grew older he grew steadier and having learned the bricklayer's trade he fol- lowed it industriously. He was also ar active member of B company, N. G. A. and rose to official rank.

"The letter of President McCurdy of The Mutual Life Insurance company of New York lays down principles that are of large application to the special problems of the day" says The Wall Street Journal in protesting against the rampant autocracy of the German government, which is goading Ameri- can insurance companies to withdraw absolutely from the empire The best way to reserve the republican system in corporations and thus to maintain their independence is by comprehen- sive and fair publicity by which pub lie and investors may have a clear insight into their affairs.f This pub licity implies a certain degree of gov ernmental regulation. But this regu- lation should not go so far as to de- stroy the independence of the corpora tions."
 In his letter President McCurdy says: We are confronted, as sine qua non for admission to the empire, with the demand that the management of the company shall be practically turn cd over to the authorities of the Ger man empire. This we respectfully and positively decline to do."

Mrs Smith on Smith street just re- gently purchased a Square Rotary Yanaersrift Washing Machine for Slf.e5. She is delighted with it's ops- Taticn; says it saves her work, and MT. Smith says she is not nearly so cross an wash days now.
 IF the lady on Blank street who was recently Kicking about high prices in Phoenix will stop trading at the credit stores and buy at Davidsons' Cash stores she will notice quite saving in the cost of her kitchen things. It pays to pay cash these days.
 A big fat woman stepped into Day. idson's Cash Store the other day and asked for a bottle of Blue Seal Vase line Laying down a dime she started out. Don't forget your change" cried the clerk. They ain't any change" said the old lady, tits ten cents isn't it?" "We sell it at five cents bottle'' replied the clerk. Whats the matter with it?" said the woman, eyeing it critically. Nothing" replied the clerk, five cents is our price" 'Well, I've always paid ten cents. I never do buy anything here but save money. Guess I'll have to do all my trading here. It was warm. but she walked out smiling. "Got any tents here?" asked man the other day as he stepped into Cash House Furnishing Goods store on West Washington street "Yes, sir" replied the clerk. ''Well, want two tents and a whole camping outfit, steve and Some s,Dts. Here's the list want prices on. I'Ee been around town for prices. buff snine one told me to come to Day. tdsop-s Cash Store and I'd save money" I,afsf: G,ustomer-"Well, get the goods out on the walk, I'll be around to load them this afternoon some time." "All right, sir" said the clerk, at the same time signing up the sale. "We will have your goods ready for you" And thus another sale was made in com petition with the credit stores for cash.
 It is a noticeable fact that the care full, shrewd buyers are supplying their needs at the cash stores more and more each year. The expense and losses attending the credit system rem der it imperative for the credit mer- chant to make those who are good pay bear the losses resulting from thosa who never pay and it always ranklss in the breast of a man who meets his bills to be taxed to keep up the dead beat and the delinquent.
