A few citizens never lose an OPP
portunity to give our town and the
business men and people in it
dig" of some kind. Did you
ever notice that these people are a
class that would not be much miss
ed in any community? A class
who have nothing whatever to keep
them here, but stay because they
want to stay? A class who never
did anything for The town in which
they live nor any one i'll it except
themselves? They never put their
shoulder to the wheel and help to
raise it out of the mire into which
it might have sunken. They never
do anything but howl and find
fault with what others are doing.
You will find them in every town.

How Carp Thrive in Arizona.

About a year ago a little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Van Kirk
picked up a little fish on the desert
north Of town. That is, it was
formerly a desert, but has been re-
claimed, and the fish probably
found his way into the field through
an irrigating canal Anyhow, he
was a lively youngster of the carp
variety, and the boy was very proud
of him.
Fhe fish was thrown into a pond
in a nearby pasture and 10 more
attention was paid to the fact except
by the child, who during the year
has caught sight Of the fish oc-
casionelly while he was playing
near the pond. The pond has been
gradually drying up since the
shortage OF water IL the canals,
and yesterday it got so low the fish
was seen laundering around and
finally captured.
From a minrow it had grown in
q year to 81 pounds, and there was
a FISH carnival a the Van Kirk
ranch last evening In justice to
the reader it should be stated chat
these facts are unimpeachable, as
they are furnished by Mrs. Van
Kirk and not by her husband. who
might be less accurate in the mat
ter os weight, being engaged in the
cattle business Arizona Republi-
can.

PAUPERS STRIKE
Inmates of Jersey City Almshousc Are
Dissatisfied.

New York Considerable merri-
ment has been caused by a strike
of paupers IN a county alnshouse
just outside Jersey City. The men
detailed to act as bakers organized
and elected a walking delegate.
who notified the county board in
charge Of the institution that his
fellows Would not knead The aims
house dough until their names
were put on the pay roll with the
attendants and other employees.
The delegate explained to the
committeeman that the bakers were
entitled to pay, because, unlike
many other paupers, they do not
desert the institution during the
summer months to recuperate at
the sea shore and in the mountains,
but remain at their duties in the
bake shop and work faithfully for
their county. The committee re-
jected the demands and informed
the strikers that they would be put

they do not return to work in the
