The inconvenience-to say nothing of the annoyance and expense-of living in railroad pocket that has only one hole was well illustrated this week by the experience of Mahara s minstTels in not being able to tie to the Southern Pacific railroad at Bowie without pass ing through Safford.
 There have been good many shift ings of the Gila valleys grade up the river. but none that afford meaus of avoiding that town, if one sticks to tho rails. A flying machine might suffice, but the minstrels did not .ate that aerial route when quitting Globe after giving two performances, although booked for three; and when they reach ed Stafford they were met, doubtless, with open arms--at any rate with a detainer that detained.

HAS WOODEN FAMILY
Members Cannot Talk Back and It
 Pleases Him

William Bennett, superintendent of electric lighting in this town, has the most remarkable family in the world From his wife down to his youngest child they were all carved from wood by Bennett E own hands. They live in d nice eight room house, are dressed expensively, for Bennett has plenty of money, and they wear jewelry.
 Naturally, they are the talk of the town.
 There are many advantages in having such a family as this one, for the wife can never quarrel with her husband, no matter how late he may return from the lodge. The daughters can never elope, for their father has only to chop them up into kindIing wood if they become refractory in such matters, and as for the sons, if they refuse to follow their fathers footsteps, he has only to put them into the stove, and they will help make the house comfortable
 While "Mrs. Bennett" !" as the neigh bors humor Bennett by calling the hiRuiH ofhate sti'h aHdt paSseS as HIS wife, has little to say, her husband dresses her in the latest fashions and has the best drcssmakcr in town keep her right up to style. His daughters do not attend school, as it would be impossible to drum any knowledge into their heads except with gimlets, but they hold receptions at which the finest people here attend. The sons are well behaved young fellows, and nothing has ever been said against their habits in any way.
 The case of Mir. Bennett is the most remarkable of its kind in the world. He is not an insane man by any means, but knows exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it.-Chieago Tribune.
