Dangers of Gasoline.

With the rapid multiplication OF
ouzz wagons on land and pun boats
on water. propelled by gasoline
power, 1t is increasingly and never
ceasingly important that those who
drive them should understand the
nature of the stuff that makes them
go, says Thomas ]. Fay.
we have to treat with careless
individuals, who for the most part
are careless because, the real fact of
the matter is, gasoline is not easily
combusted and accidents are SO rare
that these gentry become Indifferent
through usage OF bravado."
Tanks and connections cannot be
inspected too closely or too frequent.

for 1t foolishly with a lighted match
lest you find 1t to the sorrow of your
relatives and friends. All risk is not
to be eliminated from aatomobiling
and motor boating any more than
from ocean bathing or trolley trips
or lawn tennis. But the exercise of
a little intelligence and bit of eau.

hap to a minimum. almost nil. Let

country, hundreds sometimes flying

The autumn migration with the robin
Is a vacation affair. as 1t is with the
flicker. In the spring. when he comes.
the robin has the task of rearing his
brood. The first arrivals do that In
this section. The later corners go on
TO the North to rest; but in the fall
the hocks are not hampered by any
paternal Instincts, and appear to be
reading in lelsurely manner for
some section where food may be found
In sufficient plenty. For few weeks
che robin finds good picking in the
Carolina forests, and during that
lime he stays, and is abundant on all
Lands. Then somewhat suddenly his
desire for travel overtakes him, and
away he goes. 1t is said that the robin
winters in the northern and central
parts of South America and summers
IN the extreme north of Alaska, To
make the annual pilgrimage requires
wing journey of some ten thousand
miles. which would seem rather n
task for all that the bird gets for the
exertion. But 1t goes about its mi.
grafton without any nonsense. and in
doing 1t affords for the inhabitant of
the Southern States the spectacle of
spring twice year.
The returning migration of the
birds Is more interesting than the
rotthward movement in the spring.

more apparent. Just now some of
the migrators are everywhere, and in
Erge numbers. They do not come

ANOTHER RUNAWAY.
The Creamery Store Suffers Loss of
 Shoes, Razors and Knives.

Burglars have again made their ap- pearance near here and this time the Creamery store and the Creamery and their operations. Whoever committed the depreciation was an artist in the line and managed to escape without leaving the slightest clue as to his or their identity. The first intimation
 they had that such a thing as a bur glary had occurred was yesterday morning when MT. Blount found some twenty-four empty shoes boxes on the shelves. They were supposed to be full discovered that they were otherwise. He at once began an investigation of the other stock in the store and found that the same trick had been played with the raZors. Five of them had been taken and the boxes nicely ar ranged again so as not to attract at tention. Almost the same scheme had been worked on the knife case and over five dollars worth of pocket knives were missing. It is not known when
 the store was robbed for on account of the manner in which the things were taken their loss was not known until yesterday and it is possible that the articles were taken several days ago, It could not have been earlier than
 Sunday, however, because some of the knives lost were new ones and were only placed in the case Monday morn ing. Their method of entering was also

A BAD TIME TO MOVE

Most people would consider the past few days rather bad ones for moving but from the rigs that passed through here yesterday it seems that there are some who think otherwise. Were inc truth known though they probably started in clear weather. In the morn- ing four four-horse teams came through here. The party was compOs- ed of MOrmons on their way from the San Pedro to Utah. They started from here to the Wilson crossing but are now likely camped on the banks of the river. In the afternoon four more rigs stopped here. They were a party en route from Indian Ter ritory to Phoenix but for the present have stopped here, awaiting the pleas ure of the river. They were well fixed for rain, having a stove in each wag- on and plenty of canvass.

A SECOND SON.

James Goodwin is a man who is al- ways in a hopeful frame of mind and even during the darkest and dryest days Arizona has experienced he has predicted bright and prosperous future. Since the rains of the past two months he has been more san guine than ever and so far as his own family prosperity is concerned, his pre- dictiOns have been fulfilled in abun- dance and yesterday he wore a smile on his face of huge dimensions and one that will not wear off. He now has two sons in his family. The latest addition arrived the night before.

HE woRKED THE cHINK

Several days ago a member of the hobo gentry worked the Chinese cook on the bridge gang to perfection and thereby gained several square meals a day for four days in succession be- fore he was caught. His method was to wait until the members of the gang had gone to work after a meal. when he would hurry into the kitchen car and tell the cook he had been detained on piece of work and wanted some thing to eat in a hurry. He always got it, the cook supposing he was a mem Der of the crew. His success, however was short lived for the last time hc tried to work the game the boss waa standing in the car and the 'bo v-as promptly booted out.

was the sequel of a seizure made by special agents of the treasury depart ment a couple of months ago of lot of drawn work in the possession of Mrs. Pima. The seized goods are now at the customs house at Nogales. They will no doubt be restored to Mrs. Pima.
 The evidence showed that Mrs. Pima, who is the mother of MT. A. Pima, the MCAican consul at this place on her return from Mexico last summer brought with her several pieces of drawn work, presents given her by her nieces and other relatives. She was given tEe usual permit by the Ameri- can consul to whom it was shown that the goods were of less value than $1OO, to take them out of the country. For the same reason the customs officials at Eagle Pass allowed the goods to go through.
 It was brought out that Mrs. Pima since Ter residence in this country has been engaged in teaching the art of making drawn work and has also been engaged in the sale of it at various places. These pieces which she brought with her from Mexico on this occasion W ere at the store at the time of the seizure but they were being used only as models for the pupils.
 At the time the case was brought to the notice of the public is seemed un- reasonable that the mother of the con- sul who is very jealous in the dis charge of his duties should have under taken an evasion of the customs du- ties end most people believed that a serious mistake had been made. While the matter has been pending MT. Pima has enjoyed the confidence of the Mex ican state department and it may also be said that he has not suffered in any way here. He is held in the same high esteem both officially and socially as before.
