Act of Despicable Creature.

Sheriff Roberts, of Prescott, is learn ing something new every day about the misdeeds and crookedness of Sias, who was his trusted deputy sheriff, says the Prescott Herald The more he probes into affairs, the more he finds to regret that he ever allowed such man to enter his office as a trusted employe. He has found that certain entry in his book, under date of June 23, was false, and that no amount of money as represented by the entry had ever been deposited by Sias in the Bank of Arizona to the credit of Mir. Roberts. The entry showed SS3l.60. H. H. Carter is at present exporting the books of the office, and it is safe to predict that the shortage, or rather the stealings, will run up to at least 5000.
 One of the worst features of the de- parture of the reptile is the leaving of the wife and small children to look after themselves.

The August American Boy.

The August American Boy, pub lished by the Sprague Publishing Co.,, Detroit, Mich, is noteworthy especially for it's account of American Boy Day at the St. Louis Exposition, July 9th, which was planned and carried out by the publishers of that periodical. Nearly 5000 people participated in parts of hour program on that day under the chairmanship of the editor of the American Boy The partici- pants in the program were mainly tall ented boys from various sections of the country. Half a dozen pages of the American Boy are given to de- tailed account of the proceedings, splendidly illustrated. No boy, and indeed no adult, can read this account without feeling something of the in- spiration of the occasion. The pub fishers of the American Boy also an- nounce in this number that they pro- pose to try to make American Boy Day a permanent American institu- ton in every city and country town in the country.
 This number also contains further chapters of "The Blue Dragon Kirk Munroe's sl, ,0OO story; a story by w. Edgar Simpson entitled Skipper Dawson's Peril;" and one by the cele- brated English writer for boys, Will liam Murray Graydon, entitled "A Piratical Iramp;" Johp Dicks Howe presents an interesting article entitled "Six Months in the Ute Country" which boys who like Indian stories will be interested in.

A Poor Term for Lawyers.

The Tombstone Prospector sums up the financial distress of the disciples of Blackstone thusly: |" This term of district court has been failure for lawyers. he court appointed eight tenths of those who defended criminal cases. In such instances the client might give his attorney a sack of Spuds, or calf, or an armload of ros hears, or sixshooter, but the lawyer fought all day for an indigent client, then went to bed hungry. In the well-to-do criminal cases it was in- yariably contingent or a manyana proposition. In the civil cases, in- volving wealthy litigants, they almost invariably compromise, and the law yer is out, while the cheaper cases are not worth the ribbons it requires to record them. Everything considered, the way of the lawyer has been ex- ceedingly hard this term. m."
