Gocd-by, Old Year.

GoOd-by, Old Year, your mission ends
With midnight chimes and all Is done;
The records writ with Joy or less
The deeds funlled and gucrdons won
Are hung as trophies round thy rime,
And thou art named with olden time.
FQrevermore oh. fateful past
That saw so much no law can change;
Beginning and the end of things
That were to be, the new and strange
The old and worn and bloom and blight,
Passed to the dark or born TO light.
And, oh, for some a happy year;
Sweet wedding bells rang joyously:
Old friends clasped hands and strangers
met,
And sunshine fell so glad and free
On buoyant youth, and smiles were fair,
And laughter bantered pain and care.
Some tears must fall in every year;
Your portion came when grief had set
A badge of mourning on the hearts
OF some whose love could not forget,
And hopefully without dismay
They covered friends of yesterday.
Good-by, Old Year; we greet the New;
When we recall your gifts and cost
May then a double portion show
Thy faVorS won DER which was lost.
Good-by! a hand at parting; then
A benediction and amen.

kNviED STORY TELLER's GIFT.
Made Presence of Mind Very Sec
ondsry Cons liberation.

G. K. Sober was showing q group
of Pennsylvania statesmen over his
famous chestnut farm near Shame
kin.
81 have been told" said an insur-
ance inspector, that on good chest
nut farm each tree yields 800 profit.
That Is impossible," said Mr.. So
ber, laughing. THAT is quite impos-
sible. 1t is such a whopper that 1t
reminds me of life in the west.
"A friend of mine sat one cold night
before the red-hot stove In western
saloon.
AT the bar q number of tall stor-
les were being told. Every man had
an illustration to present Of his own
bravery or generosity or Lothario-
ism. One chap said: 4 was once
crossing a long, high, one-track rail-
road bridge on the ties when | seen
train coming toward me. The
bridge was too narrow for me to draw
to oSe side or the other and to jump
into the boiling waters below meant
sartin death. In a fash | grasped the
situation and started on a quick run
toward the locomotive. When with
IN few feet of the great machine
| concentrated all my nerve and mus
Gle in one effort and leaped straight
up in the air. The terrible loco shot
under me and came down safe and
sound on the bridge, preserved from
death, but seriously shaken by the
descent
AT the conclusion of this tale
groan went up from the assemblage
and an old miner with a white beard
said bitterly:
What's the use OF presence OF
mind when q man can lie like that?"

Story of a Medford Warrior.

Capt. James c. d. Clark Of the
Lawrence Light Guards Of Medford
Mass, was speaker at recent
camp fire Of civil and Spanish war
veterans, and related the following
story:
A Mcdford man, a quaint character
OF Irish birth, returned from the civil

hard and pleritorious service in the

The younger generation, hearing Of

THREE covEYs IN ONE SEASON
Quail Hen Known to Have Raised
Fifty-four Birds.

An interesting incident in reference
to the breeding Of quail was told re-
Gently by gentleman living in tho
vicinity of Cypress
He says that an old quail hen nest
ed In his yard and that during the
year three separate coveys OF young
birds were raised. The party men
toned watched the old bird during
the breeding season and was careful
that nothing molested her or her
eggs. Early in the summer the first
covey came of with twenty birds, all
of which were raised. Then another
covey OF sixteen was raised, and final
ly, late In the summer, another hatch
of eighteen birds was brought off.
That makes total of fifty-four birds
raised by one hen this season.
The incident offers several inter-
esting overwhelmingly, that the
present closed season on the bird Is
about correct to cover the entire
breeding period. 1t also shows that
the killing of quail In September and
October is nothing short of murder,
as the old birds are too poor from
caring for their young, and the young
birds too young to be OF any value for
oating-Houston Post.

Knowing that letters could not be sent they were not written. And at the same time theI . was notable falling off in the trans mission of merchandise and fourth class mail matter all of which makes a large item in the stamp sales.
 Bat business began to move aga ii March and that month showed an in Q crea Sc of approximately $2OO over March or last year. This better ocder Of things has obtained to date, April and May each showing an increase of over 800 over last year, so that the total receipts Of 1905 10 date are nearly S4Ch in excess of the first five monchs of last year, the increase of the last two months being over twelve pc. cent.
 It is altogether a flattering showing g " hen consideration is given to the con- ditions that have existed. The occa- sional citIze1 who thinks thinr5 ar" going the wren way, is mistakel and all he neeu., is a little jollying.

POSTOFFICE FIGURES
Receipts Are FIattering Notwith-
 standing Bad Flood Effects.

The current receipts of the postof- ice are in some measure an indication of the prosperity of the city and for that reason articles have been printed from time to time showing something of the business of the Phoenix post office. It was noted early in the pres ent year that there was a considerable falling off in receipts and though it could be easily accounted for nothing Was said about it at the time. But now that conditions are again normal it is a good item.
 Naturally there was some disappoint- ment early in the year for it was the usually busy season and in addition the legislature met in January for a two months session, that circumstance be- ing counted upon to considerably in crease postoffice receipts. But the January receipts proved to be about seventy dollars less than the year be- fore and the February receipts were S40o behind. which was rather a start ling fact. It is accounted for though by

A crowded and enthusiastic house greeted Miss Ethel Tucker last night in "Queena." This charming and tall ented actress was at her best in this most trying part. It is a severe test of an actress talent and in no point did Miss Tucker fail to score heavily.
 Never in Phoenix has such emotion al talent been displayed. The highest priced attractions have given no more satisfaction as an actress of such marked ability has never appeared in this city before.
 Miss Fuckers scene in the third act was superb. It was thrilling in the eX- treme and held the audience spell bound. Her voice, her gestures, her facial expressions were all perfect.

HELD TO THE GRAND JURY
nOlinO Was not Acceptable as a Som
 in-Law.

Gabriel Moline, whose preliminary trial for a criminal assault upon d fif- teen year old girl took place a couple of days ago, was yesterday held by Justice Burnett to the grand jury in the sum of $500. The evidence against him was conclusive enough at the time but the defendant was desirous of fighting the wrong as far as he could and he said he would not only be will ling but would be glad to marry the girl. The child herself was willing, so was her brother, and the father, who was in court was on the fence. He could not make up his mind on the spur of the moment that he wanted that kind of a law; he desired to give the subject prayerful consider ation and at the same time he thought his wife might have some views on the subject. The old man intimated that he might be brought to approve of the wedding.
 There was accordingly a suspension of the Judgment of the court while the family of the girl was engaged in de- liberation. Yesterday morning the fa- ther appeared and said that there would be no wedding. That settled it, for the girl on account of her tender years would necessarily have to have the consent of her parents.
 This decision was made known to Moline, who was much cast down at the prospect of spending an Arizona summer in jail with the gloomier prospect in the. distance of spending the winter and at least another sum- mer in Yuma
