ALL IN THE BILL.

When it was learned that the modest looking young man in the smoking car with us had ben a cowboy, and was probably full of adventures, We moved upon him. and the man with the red necktie said:
 During your career as a cowboy you must have had some close calls"
 Well. yes" was the reply.
 Cattle ever stampede with yOu?" "Oh, yes"
 ''I had a friend out there wno got in front of a stampedinE herd one day and they never found as much as the soIes of his boots."
 ''Yes?"
 Were ever in that peril?"
 "Once, sir. I was out in the opening when herd of 5000 steers stampeded and came for me head on."
 And there was no chance to dOdge?" "Not the slightest"
 And you didn't have over minute to think"
 Not over half minute
 "And-and what hapened?'
 why I rode straight at the herd, knocked down and maimed or killed about 200. and so made a safe escape. It's easy when you know how, but it's also rather costly. That's why I quit the business. The boss insisted on mak- ing me pay full price for the killed and wounded. and I didn't think it fair"
 sir" said the man who had been doing all the talking for our side, as he drew himself up, did you ever see a cattle ranger"
 NO, sir
 Were you ever a cowboy?"
 "No, sir"
 "Did you ever see a wild steer?"
 Never"
 Then, sir-then-"
 I'm a plumber, sir, and I put it all in the bill"

FAME AND POWER.

At length fame is observed to be un- certain and power to be dangerous The man whose vigor and alacrity be- gins to forsake him. by degrees con tracts his designs, remits his former multiplicity of pursuits, and extends no longer his regard to any other honor than the reputation of wealth, or any other influence than his power. Avar- ice is generally the last passion of those lives. of which the first part has been squandered in pleasure. and the sec ond in ambition. He that sinks under the fatigue of getting wealth, lulls his age with the miIder business of saving it.-Rambler.

The king of Siam is an ardent auto mobilist, and his 'scorching' has wor- ried his ministers who are anxious for the safety of the royal neck. They presented to their august master the following petition:
 At the service of your majesty are bearers, and when time presses, car riages- We, therefore, beseech you to give up the use of motor cars, or, at least, to go at a more moderate pace. This is expected by the dynasty and your people. We have been too much alarmed to remain silent"

WATER COMPANY REcEIVERsHiP
News Somewhat Unexpected but
 Nevertheless Pleasing.

The news published yesterday morn ing concerning the receivership of the Arizona Water Co, came somewhat as a surprise to Phoenix people. The na- ture of it was not surprising to those best posted on the situation but the appointment of a receiver was not eX- pected quite so soon.
 It was understood by those at the head of the negotiations for the ac- Quirng of the Water cOmpany's in terests by the government, and finally by the water users, that no transfer could be consummated except by sat isfying the holders of the Water com pany's bonds That they would not consent to give up the property at any price that could reasonably be expect ed to meet the views of the water us CTS was apparent and the only way in which the company could get itself on a good selling basis was by the process of a receivership. It is there fore assumed locally by those who were interviewed yesterday and who should be in the best position to know, that the appointment of a receiver is the best possible thing that could be done and will ultimately work for the best good of all concerned.
 Another thing to consider was the 
 made necessary by the recent floods, another large sum of money will have to be expended and it is not unlikely that the water company would have found great difficulty in securing these funds. under the former conditions. As the situation now stands, receivers certificates may be issued in security for such money as may be needed, and which securities will take precedence over other indebtedness of the com pany.
 In his recent visit here Judge Steele intimated that a receivership would in all probability be the way out. but he gave no intimatiOn that it was likely to be effected so soon. It was sup posed by most people here that any action would be delayed until after he returned to New York and reported in person to his associates. The infer ence is, though it is only an infer ence, that the application for a re ceivership was hastened by telegraphic information forwarded by Judge Steele.
 It is learned that Judge Steele when he left here Wednesday, met Judge Kent and other Phoenix people at Ash Fork. and conversed quite freely and frankly concerning the water situation

WHERE GRASSHOPPERS ARE

There is a regular business in Italy of making little wire cages for grass hoppers. The insect is regarded as lucky, and if one can be kept alive in a cage for a month, it is believed the year will be prosperous. The super stition arose from this incident:
