 The water for the use of Tempe is pumped into a natural reservoir cut in the rock butte about half way be- tween the base and the top. This res erVoir is 62X32 feet. Its dimensions could be increased indefinitely and the life of it would be eternal.
 The first thing to be thought of in connection with this project would be the throwing of a pipe line across the river and a doubt would arise as to what effect the furious floods might have on it. Judge NeiIsen has gone over that phase of the problem. He has found that the bottom of the river at point some distance below the bridge has never been changed by the floods. The water there even in flood times flows with evenuess. Tn his opinion a pipe line at that point or at

 The next thing would be the laying of the pipe line to Phoenix. distance of seven or eight miles. He calls ar- tention to the fact that the pipe would not have to be laid so far before it would begin to be d revenue producer. He thinks that water might be fur nished to the numerous farm houses along the way and especially to the in- sane asylum. which would be an ex- tensiye consumer Soon after passing the asylum the pipe line would be in the outskirts of the town and practi- cally every house would be attached to it.
 There would be erected in Phoenix an immense standpipe to contain a re- serve supply to be drawn upon in the event of an accident at the works. Judge Neilsen believes that Phoenix could get water in this way cheaper than in any other and could get a better. bigger and purer supply than it could otherwise obtain. The press ure would be ample Tempe is leo feet higher than Phoenix and the reservoir IS nearly that much higher than Tempe.
 Speaking of the system at Tempo. Judge Nielsen said that the supply is furnished by running the pumps only two hours a day The rates are low but in spite of that the system has been money maker. There is a bond ed indebtedness but against it there is a large sinking fund out of which the city is loaning money

join with Tempe in a water works proposition that the cost of supplying water may be cheapened for both places.
 There are two wells at Tempe now. They are about 200 feet deep and the casing is twelve inches in diameter They are thoroughly protected from an inflow of surface water and the supply of water which seems to be ineXhaustible is of the best quality In the opinion of MT. Neilsen those two wells would furnish enough water for both places but in any event other wells could be sunk into the same stratum.
 Mir. Neilsen points out that while an underfiOw of water can be found any where in the valley, it is after all sur face water and the supply is variable There are few places where water be- low the underfiow has been found. In

might contemplate with more equa-

Richardson thought he could fix it.,
and the brother-in-law was sent for
from st. Louis.
Now, the convenient Drother-in-law
was about as much a relative CT Gray's
as Gray was himself a lumber mer-

announced that he had bribed a couple

later to die.

Greatly did Gray admire the skilled
manipulation of the brother-in-Iaw
case by his friend Richardson. So
when the latter suggested that there
was plenty of easy money TO be made
by similar undertakings down in the

watched too carefully, Gray fell in
with the game at once, and the two

HOW TO KEEP WELL,
Sleep in Room Cooler Than Living
Apartments Daily and Dash Cold
Water on Chest aud Throat.

You dread the cold room on rising?
1t need not be bitterly or dangerously
cold, please remember.
A we'll ventilated house does not
necessarily mean a cold house, and
pure air does not have to be iced air.
Extremes are very apt to be danger
Gus, and, while the lungs demand
fresh air, that they may do their
work well, too low a temperature is
not wise. But the sleeping room
room you are apt to have to spend
most of your working and waking
hours in.
You will feel better for having
slept in a cool room, and if on rising
you think it too cool just try those
lively breathing and stretching ex-
ercises l suggested last week-adding
a few arm swinging exercises.
Then sponge your chest, face and
throat oil with cold water, rub brisk
ly till dry and rosy-fill the lungs a
dozen times, and dress as quickly as
possible; you'll find you feel SO fresh
and well that you will never again
risk the discomforts and lack of rest
attending close sleeping room.
But if you hope to effect a cure
permanent, not temporary, we must
take care that natures laws OF
health are obeyed.-Chicago Inter

RAISING GARDEN HERBS.
This Is Practical Occupation Open
to a Woman Thrown on Her
Own Resources. :!

Among the practical occupations
open to women that are thrown upon
their own resources without previous
training in any sort of business is that
OF raising garden herbs.
There has never been suficiency of
seasoning herbs to be had at any mar
ket; parsley, thyme, sweet marjoram,
bay leaf, mint, are always in demand
by those who know their value in the
proper cooking OF savory dishes. Their
raising is neither difficult nor expen-
sive. A small piece of ground will sup
ply any large private market establish
ment or green grocer, and it is work
that even delicate woman can under
take.
But she must, first of all, instruct
herself in the nature of the soil need
ed, the amount of sunshine, water and
general habits of the things she Is
going to raise. To do this it is only
necessary for her to visit any good Ii
brary and study books on the subject,
making notes and really learning, just
as it she were at school,
Then she must study how to get the
very best plants for her purpose; all
florists and agriculturists are glad to
send catalogues for the asking, and,
while the gorgeous cuts exaggerate the
fecundity and appearance of their
wares, such catalogues are a help.
Once she knows the right soil to pre-
pare, the rest is easy. If she has no
boy neighbor to call upon to measure
and define the various beds, she can
simply tie stout cords to sticks stuck
in the ground to keep one variety from
running over the other. The spading
she may have to hire done, and the
pulverizing of the soil, which is very
essential to success, most failures be-
Ing due to the caking of imperfectly
prepared ground that either carries off
the water that is applied or allows it
to stand without penetrating the earth
to reach the roots of thirsty plants.
Take the fragrant garden mint as a
very fair example of an herb that is
we'll worth cultiyating. l have seen a
single root spread in a couple of years
over 12-fOOt square Of ground, and its
healthy sprigs are always in demand.
The woman who wills to do so can
find market for her mint the year
round. if she will care that it will not
freeze. Sweet marjoram grows fast
also, as do all these seasoning herbs,
and needs but little care when once
started. Curly parsley makes a lovely
garnishing for a dish of croquettes or
for any sort of broiled meats or fish,
and never can there be too much
grown.
If to these be added chives and lem
ills, there are always purchasers for
these greens that make such delicious
spring salads. But this business must
be properly attended to if there is to be
livelihood in it; like everything
else in this world, it amounts to moth
Ing without certain amount of care
and trouble. If there is sudden biz
zard the plants must be protected; if
the midsummer sun is too hot, some
sort of shade must be evolved, and so
on through the list of watchful precau-
lions that are necessities to success

MITCHELL AND HARLE
UNDER SENTENCE FOR COLD
FLOODED MURDERS.
WERE GANG OF LIFE INSURANCE SWINDlERs
Killing of Their Victims Part of the Scheme
by Which They Had Made Large Sums
Had Another Victim Marked
for Death.

Chihuahua, Mexico.-Through a skeiI
OF plot and counter plot, that, if
evolved by a writer of fiction, would
have been considered extravagant, the
story runs of the crime of the three
men, Hu"lbert, Mitchell and Harle,
now under sentence of death here.
The crime for which these three
men are to die is murder, an incident
OF their series of carefully planned life
insurance swindles.
The particular company victimiZed
is one OF the greatest in the world, and
only carelessness on the part of the
plotters, resulting from over-confi-
dence, saved it from a heavy loss.
Practically in its entirety the affair
IS as follows:
Commenced N 1902.
1t was in the spring of 1902 that a
life insurance company was called
upon to pay two death claims in Chi
huahua, the first on the life of Harry
NJ. Mitchell for $4,000 under a policy
assigned to his sister, Helen Richard
son, and the second on the life of
James Devers for $4,000 under a pol
icy of which one Willis Meredith was
the beneficiary. Mitchell had died
on February II of that year, AMI
Devers on March %, and the agent in
both cases had been c. T. Richardson,
who had formerly been in the employ
of the company at Chihuahua, but was
now living in Dallas, Tex.
Now, life insurance agents in Chi
huahua, Mexico, even those who sub
sequently move to a town like Dallas,
do not, as rule, support private
teams, nor drive out in style with
negro coachman and footman or two
All these things were included in
Richardson's establishment in Dallas,
to the great amazement of a repre-
sentative Of the life insurance COM
pany, who went down from the Ell
Paso office, where the check for the
Devers policy had been forwarded, to
