The Kind Of Boys That Pay.

SOMEBODY has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
bis parents for livelihood until be Is
p years Of age costs them in the
neighborhood of "a, 200, says an ex-
change. On this basis Of calculation
a brood, for instance, Of six boys
would represent an outlay of s24, 600
by the time they get away from the
home roost. The question arises, does
il pay to raise boys and are there no
other crops that would prove more
profitable? II boy turns out to be
a cigarette fend with breath like a
turkey buzazrd and a laugh that
would make the untutored donkey feel
perfectly at home in his society, aud
with an untrsmmeIed and unconqured
deiIe to avoid work, it is safe to say
that his parents might have invested
their "a. 900 at much better advan-
tage. But If the boy grows up to
manhood with the lesson we'll leai ned
that wealth and success grow only on
bushes watered by the sweat of ones
trow, the parents need not begrudge
whatever they have spent on him, for
he will be source OF increasing pride
and Joy to their hearts, and when
they grow old and their hands trem-
BILE and their legs watble and their
steps is slow and faltering, they have
two strong arms to lean upon and to
help them over all rough places that
lie in their twilight. t.-Condon Globe.

FOR BIs5EE BUILDING.

Jas. Kreigbaum drove to Tombstone yesterday, and will bring back with him a load of granite stone from the quarry near the old race track. The stone is to be used in the erection of the Roberts building on Main street. A part of the material of the building was of Texas granite, and it was found that about forty feet more was needed than had-been shipped fro<l Texas, and as there was no granite in this locality that would come anywhere near match ing that on hand. MT. Kreigbaum went to Tombstone after some. He found some in the quarry that will closely match that from Texas, and this af- ternoon began the work of getting the stone out to take back with him.
