What do you make them Off" ask
ed Lucy.
We mix water with zero" said the
Man. Have you ever been in the land
where the zero crops grow? No? Well,
you have missed a very interesting
where the North Pole sticks straight
up in the air. The North Pole, you
know, is my own improvement. l
planted it up there to train the zero
vines on. They grow much better that
wav.
1--WE use up terrible lot of zero
every year, but the crop is very good,
and we always raise enough for the
demand. In fact there are many peo-
pie who don't demand any zero at all,
but we aim to send them some just
the same.
when I started in the business, we
didn't really do anything with it. 1t
used to run wild. But now we have
agencies all over the world except in
the tropics. l can't get anybody TO
do any business down there. Lots

with whole loads of icicles seem to
have disappeared entirely, icicles and
all. | really can't understand ii"
Il s'pose that they melted said
Lucy.
Melted! Goodness" exclaimed the
Man Who Makes the lclcles, 'don
talk about it. It's our family disease,
and we never mention it. It's coIita-
gious, you know"
Il don't see the use of your bust
ness at ALL" said Lucy, who was not
polite enough to hurt. What good
are icicles?"
Lots of good" said the Man indig
nantly. They hang on the roofs, and
when the sun comes out they drip
water down persons necks. Sometimes
when we hang extra big ones, they
fall on people and hit them on the
| head in the most cunning way. What
good are they? That's the good they
are! Besides, what use would it be
for me to be the Man Who Makes the
Iclicles if 1 didn't make them? Tell
me that" he demanded triumphantly.
Lucy's ready conversational powers
failed her for once. While she was
still bordering over the question, the
Man Who Makes the Icicles suddenly

Lucy. and I will tell you the history
of my sad but meritorious life
Lucy hesitated, but the Man Who

for another brushful of paint. There

The atmo- sphere and surroundings are military picturing. The varied characters from the commanding general to the hum ble orderly, the social and professional life of d soldier. the stern demand Of war and the many funny incidents that invariably accompanied the life of a soldier in field or society. r
 No doubt the theater- going public of Phoenix will take advantage of this rare opportunity to see the perform ance of this clever company. and it is said that it's productions are com plete in detail both in costumes and scenery comparing favorably, with any or the present metropolitan com panies which is a guarantee thdt they are beyond the average.

CHA VALLEY GOING DRY Four Towns Vote for Prohibition and
 Two Remain Wet.

The question wet or dry" was de- cided in the Gila valley on Wednesday and the prOhibitionists scored a vic tory. says the Solomonville Bulletin. Out of s-N precincts where an election was held. four precincts voted in favor of local option. These precincts were Thatcher. Pima, Central and Hubbard. The wet were: Stafford and Eden. Solomonville and san Jose did not vote.
 The election passed of quietly. especially so in Thatcher. Pima. Cen tral and Hubbard. These places were absolutely without any excitement and apparently there was no interest manifested. The sentiment in these places was certainly on the side of pro- hibition. At Pima the greatest victory was recorded. where out of a total oC lO2 votes there was only one VCts recorded against prohibition and it is thought that this person marked his ballot wrong.
 At Eden there were g votes. 19 for prohibition and II against.
 At Central % votes were cast. of which 2I were for prohibition
 The result at Thatcher was 113 fo~ prohibition and & against.
 Stafford furnished the real battle ground Of the day. and outside of Eden, was the only precinct below Solomonville that the prohibitionisrs failed Co carry. The vote was 109 for prohibition and S2 against it. Although the saloons were closed in front back doors were open and there was con- siderable drinking during tho day.

OWNEY OUT OF TROUBLE
The Prescott Cases Against Him Were
 DiSmissad.

Attorney w. P. Richardson returned yesterday morning from Prescott, where he went to adjust the affairs of J. w Owney who was arrested here twice last week on telegraphic warrants from Prescott. one charging him with felony and the other with a misdemeanor. Owney said at the time that the prosecution was only an attempt to collect a disputed bill which il was claimed he owed the wholesale grocery firm of Stetson. Preston & Co, Los Angeles. Owney having been discharged on a writ of habeas corpus went on to Los Angeles. MT. Richardson said that on his ar rival in Prescott he could find nobody interested in the prosecution of Owney and both cases against him were dis missed. He found the following state of affairs: The Los Angeles firm had branch business there which had been conducted by man by the name of Hamilton. assisted by another by the name of Wallace. Owney had paid Hamilton various sums of money amounting to about S200 and had taken his receipts. Some timeS ago Hamilton left Prescott and soon after that Owney began to receive duns from the Los Angeles firm to which he paid no attention. The firm sent representative to Prescott to adjust matters there and he arrived about the time that Owney was preparing 70 leave. Supposing that he was going away to defraud his creditors, the rep resentatives swore out a warrant for his arrest.
 On the arrival of Owney in Los Angeles after leaving Phoenix, he called on the firm and showed his re- ceipts from Hamilton whereupon the firm wired to Prescott ordering that proceedings against him be stopped. The cases had. however, been dis missed before the receipt of the tele- gram.

It was thcE too late to save himself and he died on the right of way. But even had this bad play been eliminated, in all prob ability the result would not have been changed, though Phoenix might have got another run or two.
 HartWeH was something of a dis appointment, though the result is easily accounted for. It was his first. game in four months, or since he got his hip hurt. and it was an experiment with him. rather than d game. His arm was not properly limbered up yet. When he threw swift he went wild and walked the batteIs to first, and when he was cereful to get over the plate he was shy on his curves. But with 8 little mdre practice he will be able to show how the trick ought to be done Lo- man, the catcher, was also playing his first game for year or two, though he was formerly a league man. Hartwell was hard to find especially as it was their first game together. Loman did good work. however, and seldom missed what he went after. But unfortunately one of the very few balls he dropped, let in a man from the sage brush.
 Wemp, the Glendnle crack, did ex- cellent work and is entitled to special credit, as also is Davis who worked be- hind the bat although his whip was a httle off on base throwing. The score by innings is as follows:

One argument used by the "antis" was that if local option carried, Stafford would lose its last chance of ever becoming the county seat. as people who had busi- ness at court would never vote in favor of a dry town.
