They fear congress will make the two territories one state during the present session, he says. We would rather wait awhile and have Arizona made separate state" said MT.

 DEATH OF AN AGED MAN.-D. P. Kyle has received a letter informing him of the death of his father, E. D. Kyle, who passed away on January 26th at his home in Leavenworth Kas. He attained rather an unusual age as he would have been 90 years old had he lived until May 1st A second let ter was received from relatives in Mis- scuri bearing the same news and en- closing also a railroad ticket which has story. When MT. Kyle was back there last summer he lost his return trip ticket and had to buy another one to get home. The railroad company on proof of the losing of the ticket re- funded him its value Now the ticket which has expired by limitation of time has been found and sent to Mir Kyle. It appears that while he was looking through an old family bible the ticket was in some way slipped between it's pages. After the death of his father on the 26th a member of the family was exploring the bible for the purpose of securing data to prepare an obituary notice, when the ticket was found.
 APACHE BEAD WORK-It is amaz- ing what funny things one can see at curio store sometimes. The Benham Indian Trading company recently pub lished in New York and has on sale at its stores in this city. a paper cov- cred book on the subject Apache bead work. It is an instructive volume and will be great help to those who are studying bead work or who care tc solve it's mysteries. But in getting out the book it was desirable of course and unique as well as instructive. To that end, beside the explanatory illus trations, there was printed on the GOV CT the picture of a beautiful Apache maiden and on enc of the opening pages a picture of the Home of the | Original Beadworker." The joke lies in the fact that the first wide circula- 1 tion of the Home Of the Beadworker
 was in a similar publication called The Papoose" written by Tom Barnes, we'll known here, where the same picture did duty as the Pima Basket Maker at Home" The Apache maid on the cover is in reality a Can adian Indian girl and in the picture l she wears a Sioux apron and Cheyenne mOccasins, while at her right stands a Zulu shield and at her left Pima basket. MT. Benham must have spent ! a great deal Cf time in the Apache country to get a combination so true to life
