en,.rpri.Ins Holland Reporter.

An amusing story comes from Hol.
fsnd OF Queen Wilhelmina. who was
visiting the peoples eating houses in
Amsterdam shortly before her Illness.
A court lady conducted the Queen
through all the rooms and also into
the kitchen. where her majesty tasted
the food. which she found excellent.
much to the delight of the old cook.
And where do you keep your provis-
ions?" asked the young Queen. Here.
your majesty" said the lady. throw
ing open the door OF huge cupboard.
Then the three women screamed. for
inside the cupboard stood man. The
cook. on being accused OF hiding a low
er. angrily declared she had never
seen him before. and he was forced TO
confess that he was the reporter OF an
Amsterdam paper. who had erept in
there in order to give full account OF
the queens visit. Her majesty. after
a hearty laugh. shook hands with the
reporter on leaving. and told him to
send her u copy OF the paper.-Lon-

cannihal. Arc Epleures.

A story regarding a converted can
nibal is told in the English papers. A
negro clergyman was entertained at
tea by the president of college. The
guest. who came from West Africa.
retailed some particulars of his carly
life. when n woman asked him how he
became a Christian. "The story Of
Jezebel converted me-" he answered.;
you know. we are told the dogs did
not touch the palms Of her hands.
Well, that convinced me of the ruth
of the narrative. for we never eat
the palms of the hands in my toun'

During the reign OF William and
Mary In England worthy bishop
complained TO the latter that tho In.
dies of the court were wont to fx
their eyes on their ncighbors rather
than on him during his discourscs. II
apparently never occurred TO tho d..
vine that the fault might lie In the
sermons themselves. By consent oi
the queen high pcws were introduced
TO prevent wandering eyes. AS for
the young ladies' for whose spiritual
welfare they were devised says u
writer. their indignation was only
surpassed by the rage OF their admir-.

 Bisbee Review: The officials of the Fl Paso and Southwestern Railroad Company, have arranged a holiday excursion to the City of Mexico, for the Christmas season. Many people in Bisbee, Douglas, Gananea and other towns in the southeastern part of the territory, have signitied their intention of taking advantage of the remark ably low rate which is $43 gold for the round trip Others in Tucson may take advantage of this excur- sion to visit the shrine of Guada- lupe. The Pullman fare from Fl Paso to the City of Mexico will be but $9 Mexican money.

Bids for the actual construction of the Tonto Basin dam will be opened by the geological survey January z It Is under- stood that the contract for the whole gigantic monolith structure will be let to d single bidder. It will be in the neighborhood of g. 100000. Thus far the work has been altogether preparatory, in- cluding construction of the cement works, the building of the power canal, the construction of roads anu the digging of the service tun- mel through rocks around one side of the dam site. The rock at the dam site is of the hardest charac- ter and it is not believed that leak age will occur to the slightest de gree.
 Phoenix Gazette: Arizona oran- ges are in demand in New York and the first car of this seasons fruit was shipped out this mornin Ev Secretary Paul Kruger of the Arizona Orange Growers Associa- tion. Oranges raised in this valley have always brought from S2 to S4 per box more than any other on the New York market, and as this years crop is particularly fine 1t is expected that the price will be higher than ever. The most re ,ceived by the association for oran- ges was $960 per box. With 3 larger and sweeter orange than ever, it is safe to expect an advance in price. While the crop is short it is believed that not less than ten carloads will be shipped oul before Christmas.
