 Another was a message from l.. H. Condon who is stopping at the Russ house, San Francisco, and who was de- sirous of locating the family of James Muse. The marshal had not succeed ed in finding the family last evening and any one who may chance to know them might confer a favor on interest ed parties by reporting to the marshal.
 Another was a letter from F. T. Howell of Flagstaff who informed the marshal that he had written an import ant letter to man named Dan Phil lips whom he requested the marshal to locate and encourage to send to the postotfice for his mail. His last in- formation concerning Phillips was that he came here from Flagstaff suffering of rheumatism and entered a Phoe- nix hospital for treatment.

LINE FROn MATT CAVANESS
One of Arizona's Earliest Pioneers,
 Now Living in Gila Co.

The Republican has received letter from Matt Cavaness which locates him at Gisela pOstoffice, Gila county, Ari- zoE1. Though the letter is concerning business matter there is incidental mention of many old timers hereaboHt that will be interested in knowing that MT. Cavaness is still in the land of the living and presumably prosperous.
 Mr. Cavaness writes that people in that section are feeling joyful since the late rains and that the ranges are now covered with grass, ample to fatte1 what stock is left. He says, though, that the stockmen previous 60 the rains lost possibly forty Ier cent of their horses and cattle.
 Or the old timers MT. Cav1ncss speaks most kindly. for he was one Of the early settlers Of Arizona. He writes that he has learned with great re- gret of the death of his old friend, John Y. T. Smith. He also makes kind ly mention of George l.. Mowry, J. D. Monihan. C. H. Gray, and various Dth- or rioneers Of the earliest times.
 It was August l, 1884, forty yeaIs ago. when MT. Cavaness first found himself in Prescott and thereafter he was through all the Indian troubl's of the territory. h1ving visited this valley long before it's first settl lemcnt. He says that at that time Fort Me DoweIl was furnished with wild hay, cut with hoes and that the goveru- ment furnished the nay cutters with military escorts 10 keep the red men from confsca ting the hay teams. He says that many a time he has gone through Mcdowell canyon with bis hair standing as straight as :he quills on Q. porcupinc fearing that each min ute would be his last on earth.

CARPET BED GARDENING.
Beautiful Effects of Color and Design
Produced with Nom Blossom
ing Plants.

Everybody who passes the Jersey
City hall this summer has something
pleasant to say about the large flower
beds which were laid out in the sur
GROUNDING park, says letter to the New
York Sun. They were laid out upon an
unusual plan, and in their quaint formal
lily of design and subdued richness of
color they are peculiarly grateful to tho
| eye.
They are examples of what Is known
among gardeners as carpet bedding.
The plot is marked of in convenient de-
signs, exactly like rug. Scrolls are
traced on it. hearts, diamonds, and the
figures that carpet weavers and wall pa
per designers delight in are marked out,
and then the eptire ground is hidden
with plants, generally of small leaf and
close foliage, so that at short distance
the effect OF complete carpet is secured.
No blossoming plants are used for this
style of gardening. Everything depends
ON foliage color. Masses of brown pur-
pie achyranthes form body color; sando-
line is used for scroll patterns In green
gray; altematteras give deeper pur-
pie, and coleus in various shades is much
used. For borders and for outlining
elaborate patterns the various sorts of
house leek or s'hen and chickens" are
specially available, and dracaenas and
other thick leafng plants of low stature
give variety to the effects.
The Jersey City beds were designed
by a Greenyille gardener who learned
his art in the old country. Carpet bed
ding, he told Sun man day or two
ago, Is the favorite method of laying
out grounds in Germany, France and
Austria, bat is not much used elsewhere.
1t has been introduced in some of the.
cemeteries here. but has found little
favor in private gardens.
One Dson why it is not taken up"
said he. lis that it is expensive in the
first outlay. A circular bed, say 20 feer
in diameter, will take from 900 to 5000
plants to fill it. Then it has to be
watched all the time 1t takes the most
careful wedding, and the foliage must be
kept close trimmed The minute you
allow anything like luxuriance of
growth your pattern is gone. So, bed
of carpet work will take as much of q
mans time as quarter of an acre OF
ordinary garden
But, on the other hand, 1t is one of
the most satisfactory ways of laying out
garden, for the further along in sum-
mer you get the better your bed looks.
There is no repianting, no whitening.
The plants grow closer and closer, the
pattern is better and better designed;
the coIors deepen, and the effect is al
ways artistic, neat. completely satisfy
ing to the eye.
1T Is great art one of the most
beautiful forms of gardening, and /
think as the love of fine garden work de-
velops in this country, it will be exceed
ingly popular"

ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME.
Fishing and Hunting Rights Bring
Sole Revenue of Many Titled
English Families

Were it not for the enormous sums
paid for fishing and shooting rights,
many people of ancient names and good
ly title would, in the most literal sense,
have no mans of livelihood whatever;
and only the other day, says London Tit
Bits, one of the best-known property
agents of the West End of London drew
up for the writer list of dozen people
mixing in society of an exclusive kind,
every penny of whose income is derived
from the letting OF sporting rights.
Nearly all the money thus expended
has been made in commerce, and the
agent referred to above showed docu-
mentary evidence proving that there are
lots of men who did not mind paying as
much as E100 for every deer, f3 for
every trout and ego for every salmon
they kill. plus the sport of killing them.
One of the most remarkable features of
this letting is the fact that only about
one in every hundred of the owners of
ancient sporting rights ever enjoys his
privileges as a sportsman. He either
prefers to, or is compelled to, part with
such privileges; and those who take adj
vantage of them are nearly all people
In business
This renting Of fishing and sporting
has even extended down to comparative
ly humble people in the provinces. In
places like Leeds, for instance, halt a
dozen small tradesmenbuyu up the shoot
ing and fishing in remote parts of York.
shire, the one idea being to get out of
the turmoil OF town life with some dis
tinct object in view. Many a small
Yorkshire farmer is being kept, and well
kept, not by his farming, but by the let-
ting Of some comparatively insignificant
sporting right that was not thought to
be worth sixpence ten years ago.

II you have them or to stave them on
If you feel them coming on is to put ON
all your best clothes and wear them
until the spasm passes on. The girl
who told me about this said that no
sooner did she perceive that she was
beginning to think what an unsatis-
factory world this was and no sooner
did she feel that all was vanity than
up to her room she rushed In a hurry.
"Once there she would arrange her
hair as deliberately as possible and put

and veil that she possessed. A pair of

Then she would go out to walk and as
she walked the benefcent effect of her

The effect of good clothes on self-re-

LOUISIANA

Do they call you ''countrified?"
Let ii be your Joy and pride.
You. who love the birds and bees.
And the whispers OF the trees!
Trust me. friend Of flowers and grass.
Little brown-faced lad or lass.
Naught In all the world beside
Equals being "countrified."
Up OF mornings when the light
Reddens on the mountain height;
Hearing how the bird-throats swell
With the JOY they cannot tell:
Conscious that the morning sings
Like a harp with unseen strings.
Over which the breezes glide.
This Is being 'countrified-
Roaming far, on summer days,
Or when autumn woodlands blaze;
Learning how to catch and tell
Natures precious secrets well;
FILLED with sunshine, heart and face,
Or, where branches interiace,
Dappled like the shy trouts side;
This is being ''countrified."
What though little At TO pose
In the city's ways and clothes?
There is vastly more to love
In the brown Of Natures glove.
Health and happiness and tan
Are best fashions for man,
All who near to God abide
Are, In some way, "countrified."
