A PERIOD OF INEBRIATIoN-


 i There was something in the air on | Saturday night and yesterday that in duced men to strong drink. By sun up yesterday morning there were thir- ! teen men in the jag cell of the cOun- ty jail. They had been thrown in by the constables in the course of the night. They were of all nationalities and of all conditions of servitude and of all degrees of drunkenness. The | jag cell is not a very rOomy compart- ment and when the jailOr looked in yesterday morning he imagined that the cell was a huge sardine box. Along in the forenoon two of the men were taken out by their friends but | their places were soon filled by others. THE JUNTA PATRIOTIcA-There was a meeting of the Junta Pratriotica yesterday afternoon to make arrange ments for the celebration of the ninety seventh anniversary of Mexican inde- pendence, on September 16.

 AN ARIZONA INCUBATOR-An employe of bakery in this city a day or two ago went to the refrigerator in the operating department after ,.1 FH,n. door he heard a faint peeping. Look ing around he saw basket of eggs and beheld a chicken trying to hatch itself out. It had already broken the shell and was doing very well but the baker took the egg out and gave the chicken such motherly assistance as he knew how to do. The little fryer finally hopped out as chipper as any chicken that ever jumped from a hot air incubator It has been hinted that the egg came from Hoghe's ranch. A theory is now evolved that the reason for so many failures in the chicken business here is that the chicken men instead of noting local conditions and using refrigerators for incubating pur- poses have been employing the old fashioned machines that instead of matching the eggs have cooked them.
 
 Vertible that the Phoenix small boy is woefully deficient in the develop ment of that bump which affords a natural and easy. discernment Of prop erty rights These kids are particu- larly dull in respect of stealing frUlt. Though the average boy would not steal a horse or a bicycle, for some unaccountabIe reason he conceives that fruit belongs to him wherever he finds it. There is no country in the world where boys will not climb over the fence into the orchard back of the house and steal apples. peaches or watermelons. sometimes, when they think there is a good chance of get ting away without being caught. But here in Phoenix they assume that anything in the fruit line is a com mon he-i.a~a wherever they find 1t and they make no effort to be even sly in their depredations. Nearly ev- cry home in the city has trees around it for shade and other purposes, and on many properties fruit trees. such as figs. muiberries, apricOts, etc. have CTS thinking they could have both fruit and shade from the same tree. As soon as this fruit begins to ripen the small boys swarm around and harass the owners of the property. IT the trees were in the back end of the lot where the fruit could be stolen unObserved its loss could be attributed
