Starting "Run" son Bank.

While a woman was waiting to de- posit five dollars in New England savings bank she saw 8 man draw out $500. She had never before seen 90 much money at once, and concluded that the bank could not stand such a heavy drain on it's resources. She told her friends about it. and the news spread that the bank was in danger. A run" followed, and the depositors were not satisfied that the bank waa sound until between ten and twenty thousand dollars had been withdrawn. The men who read this paragraph need not say that the thing would not have happened if it had not been for a silly woman. Full-grown men. with years of business experience. do just as silly things when they get frightened about losing their money.-Youth's Compan- ion.

ONLY A RIVER WHlTEFIsH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish Whs1 He Saw Them, Also . Rail-
 road ''Ad."

William c. Harris, angling ed itor of Outing, and rightly called the Izaak Walton of America, is 2 man who can come pretty near to telling exactly what fish you will find in Blank brook, in Blank township of Blank county, Idaho, Texas or Rhode Island. New fish es and new facts about them, he loves as a miser loves gold, only he does not hoard them, but gath CTS them to give out again.
 One day Harris chanced to be in St. Paul. He was talking with General Passenger Agent Charley Fee, who said Harris should go to Montana to catch grayling in u stream at that time much adver' tised.
 Harris said there were no gray ling in the stream. The railroad man laughed at him as a New Yorker who pretended to know more about a certain Montana river than man who had fished it.
 The dispute waxed warm- Har- ris was due in New York on a certain day, and by taking the first train west he could have six hours on the stream and still keep his en- ragement. In 36 hours he was on the stream with local represen' tative of the railroad. He waded in, made one cast, and was fast to . silvery thing that tore about nightly like that ofa grayling. It came to the net, and the local representative of the railroad fairly shouted:
 'There, there; it's graylfng!'
 "Pack this carefully in moss, said Harris. "Send it to your gen. eral passenger agent" Then he walked to the telegraph office and wired that official:
 "Am sending one of your gray ling. It's an internal old river whitefsh."
 Then he took the train for New York and kept his engagement.

Kuroki's Name.

Several French soldiers, survivors of the Chinese expedition of 1856. are re- sponsible for the statement that Gen. kuroki is in reality half French. His name, they say, is properly spelled Curique. According to the story of these soldiers, a French officer, Capt. Curioue, while serving in China in 1856, married a Japanese girl. A son was born to them, who was given the Japanese name Kuroki, corresponding to the French Curique. This son, it is said, is Gen. Kuroki. Capt. Curique died last year in France.-London Hour Glass

German Sunday Schools"

In England the term Sunday school' has a definite meaning, and is exclusively used to denote a place of religious teaching. 1u Germany, however, the race for commercial supremacy has led to the establishment of Sunday schools at which mechanics arc given practical instruction ia their trades. There is, for exam. pie, a school for masons, at which the students, many of them me. chanies who work during the week, spend several hours on Sun. day morning in learning the high CT branches of their craft. Sim. ilarly there are Sunday schools for tailors, ironmongers, bookbind
 CTS, and followers of other trades even barbers and blacksmiths.

Periodic
 Pains.

Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick head ache, or any of the distress ing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering.
 As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an ex- hausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first in dication of an attack.
 If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as we'll as in the fact that they will leave no dis agreeable after-effects.
 They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs.
 "For long time I have suffered greatly with spells of backache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month. and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I be- began the use of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pils, and they always relieve me in short time.

 Larger the City from Which Ho Halls.

"You can almost tell from what country a man comes by the weight of his shoes," said J. w. Davy, of Chicago, who represents . shoe company, to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter. "You might not believe it," he continued, ''but the thicker the soles of his shoes the larger the city from which hs comes. In New York it is almost a fad, and the soles of the shoes there are exceedingly heavy. They are almost as heavy in Chica 20. Men there wear shoes to pro feet their feet. They have not time enough, it seems, to bother with rubbers. So they make one pair of shoes do the work for all kinds of weather.

$500 FOR LETTERS
 ABOUTTHE SOUTHWEST.

The Western Trail magazine offers six prizes aggregating in value $500 in railroad transporta- tion for letters from residents of Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis- souri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex ico.
 It wants letters that will in- duce energetic and ambitious men and women to settle in the great and growing Southwest and there engage in farming, cattle, raising, dairying, fruit growing and similar pursuits. To accomplish the purpose which it has in view, the Vest ern Trail offers the following prizes in railroad transportation for the six letters which, in the opinion of a competent judge, shall be deemed best suited to it's requirements:
 First prize, $100 in railroad transportation.
 Second prize, $75 in railroad transportation.
 Third prize, $50 in railroad transportation.
 Fourth prize, 1925 in railroad transportation.
 Fifth prize, 1925 in railroad transportation.
 Sixth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
 Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rived, what he did when he first came. what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country 1 in which he is located.  Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1,500 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen; from everyone who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell it. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. l Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western i Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, Ill.

TAX MORTGAGES.

Two we'll known citizens of Santa Cruz county recently called atten- tion of TIE OASIS to the fact that one Los Angles financial institution has in this county more than $lOO, 900 invested in mortages that are not taxed, and that all told there are nearly quarter of a million dollars of tangible values of that kind in the county which escape taxation. That is a matter which should be taken up by the assessor and board of equalization. Some assert that under the Arizona law that mortgages cannot be taxed. Get a judicial decision to that eff feet from the highest court in the territory. The way to do that is by proceeding to tax mortgages, and let those holding them make the issue in they courts. The prin- ciple is right. If the courts sustain it under the present law that will end the matter. If they don't; then elect legislature which will frame law taxing mortgages.

Isit a fact that there are 23O,OO adult illiterates in New Mexico.F
 The annexation of Arizona to New Mexico in Statehood would mean government controlled oy the Penitentes.
 If tar and feathers are lustifiable under any circumstances they should be applied to Arlzonians who would turn over this Territory to the tender mercies ot the New Mexican Penitentes.
 The foregoing are from the Tue son Citizen, in the columns ot which journal the whole bunch ap- peared in string. And they are a fair sample of the argument advanced by the anti statehood screamers. Seeing daily in their own city adherents of their losing cause going over to the rational and logical side, they think they can check the tide by putting out such stuff as that quoted above.
 To reply to such folly seems idle, and the only way to do II is that suggested by Scripture viz: Answer a fool according to his jolly" There are not only 25O, 900 illiterates in New Mexico, but there are 100000. There were 800, 00l, but one of them was employed to sub" for O'Brien Moore of the Citizen to Jet him take vacation in California.
 A government dominated by Penitentes would be about the kind to deal with such narrow minded, hide bound, small souled creatures as the man who could put into cold type such rot as that copied from the Citizen.
 Tar and feathers are not sui hcient punishment for those who advocate the annexation of Ne 7 Mexico to make the great state of Arizona. They should be first castrated, then drawn and quar- tered. THE OASIS fancies the fellow who penned the above has al- ready taken the first degree.

 Tbe mining industry in Sonora will one day prove Co be the main support of the border towns of Co. chise county, hence anything that is calculated to encourage the in- vestment of moneyin Sonora mines should be encouraged by the citizens of this county. while on the other hand anything which is calculated to discourage the coming of cap- ital for mineral development in Sonora should be turned down by the people of this county.

M E. Church Announcements.

The Thanksgiving service at the M. E. church on Thursday morning was fairly we'll attended. The music was good and the dis course very interesting and prac- tical. The collection for the poor amounted to s8,S2. This amount was divided equally between the pastors of the two churches, to be given out by them as circumstances might seem to direct.
 The new church enterprise is by no means dead; though for several reasons, 1t has been somewhat delayed. We hope to be able to begin work on the building as soon as the weather will permit. We should be pleased if those who have subscribed toward the enter prise, would leave the amount of their subscriptions at the Arizona Central bank, where they will be credited for the same.
 We are expecting Rev. 5. l.. Rogers, superintendent of Arizona missions, to spend Sunday with us some time during the present month.
 Regular services will be held at the M. E. church tomorrow morn- ing and evening.
 Sunday school, 10 a. m.; preach ing, II a. m.; Epworth league, GAS p. m., and preaching, at 7:3o D. m. All are cordially invited and the pastor desires, especially, that all the members of the church be present at the morning service.
