The camp has been laid out in regular military style and the soldier boys are performing the rou tine duties of camp life, squad of them dropping into Prescott every now and then by the way of recreation.

Nice Round Hole ResuIted

The Williams News chronicles the fact that W. A. Wiggett met with an accident at Cinder Pit one evening last week. He was examining a sawed-off shotgun, when it was dis charged, "the load boring a nice round hole through the top of one of his feet" The gentleman was fortu- nate indeed that the nice round hole did not penetrate the bottom of either of his feet. Just Ia nice round hole" through the top of his foot should not seriously interfere with MT. Wiggett's usefulness.

THE COCOON CRADLE
MODE or WRAPPING UP THE LITTLE
REDskiN PAPOOSE.

Bead BedeeIed BucIzsIzin Bag In
which the Indian Baby Bunting
Grows and Thrives-Origin Of This
queer Cran,ped Cradle.
Fancy a tiny copper colored papoose
buckled up snugly in a queer buckskin
bag that resembles nothing in nature
so much as the coy cocoon cradle Of
a baby butterfly and then draw upon
your Imagination still further pictur-
ing this odd receptacle swinging from
the leafy canopy of an Indian wickiup
or brush arbor, and you have before
you an Indian baby and his wonderful
cradle.
Gorgeous yellow butterflies and
brown Kiowa babies are seldom linked
together in song or story, yet in real
life their wrappings while in the chrys-
ais state bear a remarkable resem-
blance TO each other.
The cocoon cradle proper and its
various notifications as found among
the different tribes Of North American
Indians are constructed from the skins
Of animals. And right here we may
pause and trace the origin Of another
famous nursery rhyme to the Indian
cocoon cradle, for did not the father
Of Baby Bunting go a-hunting to get a
little rabbits skin to wrap that myyh-
ical baby in2 All full blood Kiowa
babies are born into the phO-h-yO-ye,
or rabbit circle and are taught to
dance in the mysterious circle Of rab-
bits as soon as they learn to toddle,

appropriate wrapping for a Kiowa

tiful, but very elaborate. The Sioux

TIGER HARD TO POISON.

Lion Usually rails an Easy victim,
as He Eats VOraciousIy.
Wolves, tigers, Ieopards and other
carnivora are dimcult to poison be-
cause Of the power which they have Of
rapidly getting rid Of the drug. Lions,
on the other hand, are very frequently
poisoned, as they eat vOraciously and
quickly, more like a dog than the other
large felidae. It is said that a good
many lion skins, especially those
brought back by foreign counts and
others from Somaliland before the re-
grettable misunderstanding between
whites and blacks had begun in that
region famous for large game, were
obtained by the unsportsmanlike meth
Cd Of poisoning carcasses and leaving
them for the lions to devOur.
Cattle which have no less than four
stomachs. are hopelessly poisoned if
once they have swallowed a dose,
whether in a toxic plant or otherwise
IT is this curious arrangement Of their
interiors which makes 1t such a diff
cult matter to give cattle medicine at
all.
In common with human beings, ami
mails seem to DE affected by poison in
certain forms when in a particular con
dition Of health. AT other times they
can eat the same plant OF shrub with
impunity. In certain states OF health
a man can eat pork, Holsters, cookies,
scallOps and other somewhat risky
foods without bad effects. At other
times the same edibles would produce
on him the effect Of ptomaine poison
ing. Two persons may eat Of the same
food at the same time, and while one
is perfectly well afterward the other
may become violently ill.
The curious cases OF yew poisoning
among cattle OF horses seem to be
somewhat analogous. They viii some
times browse on shoots Of yew and
take no harm whatever. AT other
times they are obviously made very

The Pensacola Journal Of the 29th
ulL contains some very interesting
figures relative to the outbreaks Of
yellow fever in that city in 1882 and
1905. with comparisons that are ex-
tremely instructive. At the former
date there were only one-fourth 50
many people in the city as now The
epidemic appeared in both years
about the same date In 1882 the to-
tai number Of cases were 2.347. while
lbs year up to October 2Sth, only
527 had occurred, with the barest
possibility of reaching $50. The con
clusiCn arrived al by The Journal is
that The adoption of the mosquito
theory and the treatment based there
on is the cause of the reduced mum
Der Of cases. incidentally, the ce-
TelOpments of this years campaign
go to strengthen and approve the
theory. TO is noticed that since the
regular and somewhat general efforts
al Immigration were adopted this year
The number of new cases decreased
very ially-showing that if the
fumigation had been universal and ef-
fective the fever would have been
wholly stamped out.
Had the fever had the same free
run in Pensacola this year that it had
In 1882 the cases would have number
ed FIVE or six thousand. or about ten
times as many as aid actually occur
There are two conclusions which may
be reliably drawn from the facts and
figures and other circumss ances Of
the two fever years. One is the abs0-
lutte correctness of the mosquito
theory. and the other is that safety
lies in combating the insect and TAX
