Shortly after they arrived in Chi
cago, letters ceased coming to me-"

pose of trying to identify photograph

Furnished Flats for Hoch
A furniture dealer in Milwaukee ave-

he had furnished five different flats for
Hoch, each time under a different
name, and that he had a new wife for
every fiat
The first fiat furnished was in May,
1892, under the name of c. A. Meyer;
the second in June, 1892, under the
name of II. Irish; the third time in 1894
(the dealer does not recall the name
used but it was different from that
used on any other occasion); the fourth
was III 1894 under the name of Jacob
Hoch. The wife this time was Mrs.
Mary Steinbrecher The fifth fiat was

them. For this he was sentenced to
a year in the county Jail.
The dealer told the police that he
knew that the women who were in
stalled in the first three flats died in a
short time after marriage. He asked
Hoch why he changed his name every
time ne married, and Hoch replied that
ne did not believe he could get mar
ried under the same name every time.

 CAPTURE OF A DESERTER-A young man who has been known here by the name of Bert Albright and who had been employed for some time at Ambrose's corrall, happened to be in the wrong place on Tuesday night. It turned out that his real name was Frank Fairfield, and that he deserted from Fort Huachuca a year ago. The United States has been looking for him in a casual sort of way ever since, and had put descriptions of him into the hands of various officers. Lieutenant Harry Wheeler of the rangers happen ed to be in town, though he was not m search of Fairfield. He had not even thought of him and would not have thought of him if he had not run across the man at the depot who an swered the almost forgotten descrip- ton of the deserter He soon satisfied himself that he had the man and took him into custody. It was then train time, and the officer could not inform the authorities here. When he reached Maricopa he wrote to the sheriff's of
 flee about his capture, and sent a re- quest from Fairfield to Deputy Sheriff ! King to look up a horse which he had ! in pasture near Phoenix, to sell him and send the proceeds to him at Hua- | chuca.
 1 EFERREC-Another thing that
 might have been done by the city council on Monday night, but for a very good reason was not done, was
 the calling of an election for the nam
 ing of mayor for the city of Phoenix. | A mayor will have to be elected before the water bonds can be sold, and at
 the time of the selling of the bonds it was the intention of the council to call an election last Monday night. The
 city attorney prepared the election or | dinance. but after a conference with | the councilmen it was decided to for
 ward it first to the bond buyers. w. R. | Todd & Co., for approval. This was
 done merely as a precautionary move.
 The council agreesi n all later acts af-
 fecting the bonds, to comply with ev-
 cry technicality. as it would desire to
 do in any event, but even though the
 ordinance might be legal, there might
 be something omitted that the bond
 buyers would afterward hold should l have been framed in tne ordinance
 and it was thought wiser to secure
 their approval first, than to hold an
 election and possibly have to entertain
 an objection later.

PeCuIiaritieS of
 Purchasing People

Did you ever notice how people do
 concerning their wants in the heating stove line? They are the only mem
 bers of the animal creation that wait for the sting of cold or the chill of cli- mate before preparing for winter. The average person needing heating stove knowing that cold weather will surely come ought to buy his stove early so that when the first cold snap comes he would be ready for it. But no he puts off the purchase until the cold comes, and then he along with forty other fel- lows all rush down to Davidson's Cash Store or some other hardware store and want a stove in 15 minutes and oi course with all this rush somebody has to wait around in the cold for heater

Get Toys on All Feast Days

tries never even dreamed Of Then, again,
on the feasts of All Saints and All Souls,
the children of this country received all
the gruesome and spectral toys that the
ingenuity of the Mexican toy maker could
invent, such as toy skulls, collins, minia-
ture graveyards, etc, and now comes the
distribution of Christmas toys, which they
VIII share along with their brothers and
sisters in other lands
The children of those other lands. how
ever, have to content themselves with the
toys OF the Christmas season, as this is
really the only time when there is a gen.
eral distribution OF toys In most countries.
Inc mexican children are, therefore,
ahead Of the children of other countries
IN the matter Of receiving toys.
1t Is peculiar that during the feasts OF
All Saints and All Souls as well as DUR
Ing the Holy Week, the toys that are
sold in Mexico are mainly the production
OF Mexican skill and, as such, are Lifting
Iy appropriate to the occasions, but the
toys that are sold during the Christmas
holidays and distributed by parents and
friends to children at this time in Mexico
are mainly imported from foreign coun-
tries.
Besides the Christmas toys ana those
that are received by the Mexican children
during Holy Week and on the feasts OF
All Saints and All Souls, there is scarcely
a feast of any Importance celebrated in
Mexico upon which the giving Of toys Is
not an adjunct. 1t can, therefore, be stat
ed with perfect truth that Mexico IS GER
tainly the land OF toys, as nowhere else
in the world are the children SO well pro-
Vided for in this respect as In this ia
vored country.

Continued from Last Week.

NOU remember that at the close OF
last weeks story Glaucus plunged
down into the deep sea, where
only the fishes could observe his grief
because Scylla had run away from him.
AT last II occurred to him to consult the
enchantress, Cfrce, who lived on an
island called Acaca, which was many
thousand miles away. Glaucus started
Off and swan one hundred miles a day,
regardless of his fatigue, until he came
to Circe'S island
And now was hiShardest trial. for how
was he. with his fish's tail and no legs:
to walk up to her palace? He gave up
in despair several times. but when he
thought of the lovely Scylla he started
again. Flap-hap-flap he struggled along
and each time he came nearer the pal
ace. AT last he found he had got to the
steep steps leading TO the palace door,
and here he lay down, for he had not
the strength left TO so up them After
q while he called aloud: 20 most beau
tiful and kind goddess Circe, open your
door and hear Caucus request. 1 en-
treat your pity. You alone can help me-"
Gree heard him call and came to the
door and said:'What do you want, GIau-
cus?''
II love Scylla and she VIII have mona

in return. She now scorns me- he re-
piled. Gree. when she saw him, fell in
love with him, and laughingly said: ''She

CHANGED TO A ROCK

Does 1t not seem sad that such a love-
ly, kind little nymph would change so7
She destroyed six of Ulysses compan-
ions and wrecked six ships of Aeneas
Some say that when Gree saw what a
terrible thing she had done she was
frightened. for she feared the gods
would punish her. and so she finally
changed Scylla into a very dangerous
rock away out in the sea.
Others say that Glaucus was so heart
broken when he heard what Gree had
done to Scylla that he travelled all those
long miles again to Circes palace and
said IL she would turn Scylla back to be
as good and beautiful as ever, he would
stay with her (Circe). Circe consented,
IL he would promise never to try to see
Scylla again. He gave his promise, anG
stayed with her; but she soon got tired
of him, because he was so sad and
would always talk of the beautiful
Scylla.
So one day she told him he must re-
turn to the deep sea, and, oh! how
glad poor. sad Glaucus was, for of
course. he hated Gree and her evil
back to the sea, and what was his grief
TO find the body of Scylla. which the
wicked Gree had not transformed but
had drowned.
the sea to help him. and they told him
they could not help him until he had
for thousand years collected all the
bodies of drowned lovers, but at the end
OF that time youth beloved by all the
gods would appear to help him.
So Glaucus started out to hunt for
drowned lovers. and after nine hundred
years had passed Endymion the beauti-
full shepherd boy, came and helped him.
At the end of hundred more years
Glaucus was restored to youth and
beauty. and Scylla became more beauti-
full than ever. Both forgot that they

after.

Then, as he neared his game there

Then We fed him flies and bits OF ten
der meat. which We would wiggle with
a bit OF grass to make them seem alive.
At the same time we whistled a certain
call to teach him when his supper was
ready.
Then. finally. by gentle landings and
pettings he grew quite tame. and at the
sound OF the whistle would scramble
out from under the doorstep, where he
lived by day. and hop bTiskiy in our
direction to be fed and played with.
His feeding ways and tricks were the
source of our most constant delight and
wonder. Just to see him stalk a fly
filled one with something of the tense
excitement of deer hunt.

NM EXICO Is q land OF toys. In other
1V2 countries Christmas Is the season
for the distribution of toys to the
children, but in Mexico the great natal
day of the Saviour is but one of the many
days upon which the children of the re-
public are made happy by the reception
OF playthings from parents and friends.
Two periods, in particular are note
worthy as toy-givlng times in Mexico.
These are the feasts of All Saints and
All Souls, which come on the first and
second days Of November. and the clos
ing days Of Holy Week. Upon these oc-
casions, the number of toys and play
things Of all kinds that are purchased
and given to children in the republic
must amount to many thousand dollars
The toys that are given away every year
In Mexico during the Christmas holidays

vorably with those that are received by
children In the United States, England,
Germany and other Christian countries
of the world.
But just now also, the toy shops in this
city are loaded with an infinite variety
of articles that are calculated to suit the
ephemeral tastes of children. The win
