THE TOWN FARMER,
What he Does and Why he Does 1t
What he has and what he has Not.
81. Hawker, in the National Farmer
stock Grower


The town farmer is undoubtedlv n
funny fellow. lie has loaded himself
up with conceit of his own imaginary
Importance and can hardly be brought
TO remember the good old country
facm where he was born. The town
farmer has some other ma for his
occupation now, but he is farmer all
the same; either boss farmer, ten.
ant farmer, or hired hand He is
one or the other He is honestly a
hireo hand. There's many hired
hlnd in the big cities who would b.
better Off feeding pigs in the country.
hIt ii Is not polite to tell them SO
therefore we let it 10 That.

town farmer lives in the smoke ans
dust OF the city; therefore he needs
twc or three suits year in order to
keep himself looking decent. There 5
many town farmer who has no home
of his own and ha no prospect on
earth beyond his monthly pay, who

iish appearance and nothing in the
bank represent the average condition
OF the town farmer. We have moth

order and he is getting it. We could
make this part Of the story great
deal worse, but we will let it 90 at
that.
In st. which is not a bad
farming community-most of the
town farmers are to be found in the
vicinity of Broadway, and most of the
homes in which the town farmers live
are out towards the park where the
worlds Fair was held some time ago
lhe homes are not on the farms, and
that Is strong part of it. The town
farmer sleeps out west all right

 He listened attentively 10 a paper read by Dr. Lewis c. Morris, of Birm- ingham, Ala, on Intestinal Obstruc- tion," and, at the request of the as sembled physicians, participated in a few technical remarks pertaining to the subject.
 His description of a remarkable op- eration performed at the Naval Hos pital at Tolkio was closely followed.
 He also questioned the gathering as 10 whether there was anyone present who could account for the fact that he had observed, in Japan, that cases of appendicitis occur in groups. The question proved to be a difficult one, and was not answered.

 District Attorney Blakely, of Mo- have county. when his county was called, filed a demurrer. and in doing so stated to the court that his county would abide by the decisions render ed il the other cases.
 The writ of mandamus applied for by the Attorney General against Pima county was dismissed upon motion of the Attorney General who stated that the Pima County Board had compiled with the order
 When the Supreme Court convened for the afternoon session Ellinwood and Attorney General Clark argued at length Ellinwood's motion to uuash the writ. After the conclusion of the argument the court retired for ten minutes, when they again took their places and rendered a decision uuash. ing the writ of mandamus and sus. taining the position of the brilliant District Attorney of Yavapai.
 Before adjournment of the court the Attorney General gave notice that he would now apply for a pre-emptory writ. and with the consent of the court, the writ was made returnable on November r, and the further hear ing of the case goes over until that date.
 The Courts decision was on Ellin- woods motion to quash. in which he denied the jurisdiction of the court in F, Associate Justice has no authority to issue writ of mandamus, during va cation, made returnable to the Su- preme Court.
 The Supreme Court promptly sus- tained the motion and the cases against all the Boards in the Territo- ry were dismissed. according to a stip- ulatiOn that the action taken in one would apply to all.
 i'll rendering it's decision. the court explained that the proper method for the Attorney General to get the case into court, was to petition the clerk of the court, and serve notice on the re- spondents, that a writ of mandamus would be applied for at the next meet ing of that court, whereupon the re- spondent could be ready with an ans wer, as the writ could only issue from the court itself
 The court announced another ses- sion for November 17th for this pur- pose, and the Attorney General will proceed in accordance.
 The decision of the Supreme Court revises the rule of procedure that has always been followed heretofore.
 The writ of certiorari, applied for by the Copper Queen Consolidated Cop per Company, went over, owing to changed conditions as a result of the other cases.

 It is also stated that the Chinese of- fcials are preparing to circulate among the powers a formal notice of their intention to disregard the prohi- bition placed upon them by the allies at the time of the relief of Pekin in 1900. forbidding the importation of arms and ammunition into China.
