HE KEPT FORGETTING
 AND LOST A BUGGY
He Persisted in Forgetting That He
 Had Forgotten It.

E. Van Kirk yesterday wrested the osborn district belt for absent mind edness from Eugene Brady O'Nenl. who has held it unchallenged ever since he moved into that peaceful community. MT. Van Kirk had a light wagon that needed repairing. He hitChed a double team to it and hitched behind it a buggy in which he intend ed to ride back home. When he got in front of John Orme's place he detached the buggy to make some different ad- justment of the procession and drove away leaving the vehicle standing in the road.
 His wife passed along the road soon after and saw the buggy. On her ar rival in town she saw her husband and asked him how he expected to get back home. He said he would ride back in the buggy. It was brought to him then for the first time that he would have to do considerable walking to get to the buggy.
 In the course of time he started home with his team riding one of the horses. He passed the stranded buggy in front of the Orme place and sur veyed it for a minute regretting his unfortunate weakness for forgetting things and then passed on home. He OlQ not. however. looe Sl5lAA 0A AAAN necessity of getting the buggy back Therefore after putting his horses away and feeding them he went cross lots to the residence of MT. Orme. Ar irving there he realized for the first time the need of horses. At a late hour last night it had not been learned whether MT. Van Kirk had succeeded {; in. getting his horses and the buggy into juxtaposiUiOn
 The neighbors say that MT. Van Kirk has always been more or less troubled with absent mindedness. though not in so violent a form as at present This more malignant attack is attributed by them to the fact that he is preparing to come to Phoenix ! and engage in the real estate business and it is thought that he is absorbed in a contemplation of the profits which he is going to make.

HOW HIS POCKET WAS PICKED

''I never had money stolen from me but once" said an elderly man to a group that was discussing pickpockets, and then it was at time when thought it most impossible. l had just drawn $500 from a bank to take to a neighboring office, and in order to take no chances, I put it in my pocket with my hand on top of it, and made up my mind to walk all the way to my desti- nation that way Passing shop win dow I stopped a moment to look In, and all of a sudden was aware that the roll in my pocket and under my hand was gone. I turned around, and on the spur of the moment accused man just stepping away of taking it, and threat ened to call the police. He hesitated a moment. and then to my surprise handed over the $500.

HE'S 4 WESTERN MAN
 AND FOX THE WEST
A Mining Engineer Writes of the Inc
 inquity of JOintuFe.

Abner Graves. a mining engineer of Denver, takes a western view of the joint statehood question. The Denver Republican. either because it regards joint statehood as a party measure or because of New Mexican influence, has ever since the passage of the bill been urging its adoption by the people of both territories. MT. Graves accord ingly takes the paper to task in the fol- lowing communication which that pa per published last Sunday:
 People who are properly posted on conditions in Arizona are puzzled in trying to discern a reason for any western writer publishing the state ment that there is a sentiment devel- oping in Arizona favorable to joint statehood with New Mexico when the facts are that, viewed from the stand point of Arizona and looking through ATizonian eyes. there is absolutely nothing rational to be said in favor of 1 joint statehood.
 Joint statehood for Arizona and 1 New Mexico would mean one western state (named Arizona). with land area greater than all the twelve east l ern Atlantic states from Maine to South Carolina. inclusive, in which ! twelve states there are twenty-four United States senators as against two ! in Arizona.
 Tt would mean a western state con- taining thirty-two counties. the small
 est of which is several times larger than the entire state of Rhode Island.
 which boasts its perennial Senator Aldrich. who has long dominated the ! ! trolled the United States. until Presi- ] dent Roosevelt's strong personality pinched his power a little. It would mean a western state with area so vast : that residents of certain portions Of Arizona would have to travel over 1000 miles by any present or future feasible route to reach it's capital at Santa Fe It would mean one western state more than two and one-fourth times larger than our peerless Colorado. which of itself has one little lost (ROutD county up in our northwest corner (without a
 mile of railroad in iD that is eight
 times as large as the state of Rhode Island including Senator Aldrich. who
 don't want western senators
 'It would mean one western state four times as large as the six com
 bined New England states. and one
 having within it's borders sufficient arabic land that will be brought into cultivation during the next twenty-five years of the new era of irrigation into
 which we are now entering. and made
 to yield fifty times as much available
 agricultural produce annually as those
 same six New England states, witt
 New York thrown in with them, and a
 state that far within that time will be yielding more copper than any othel
 state in the union. Moreover, sucf joint statehood would be such mon
 strous injustice to a large, energetic
 and intelligent western community tha

TRADING STAMPS FOR TIPS.

There are women in this city who. in Ia measure. have solved the tipping problem. Of course, everybody and his next door neighbor lives in flat or an apartment house here, and the porters expect their little bit if they only open a door for one. A woman who lives on the seventh of an apartment house does all her tipping on the trading stamp method. Say, for instance, she sends the porter to a store for S2 worth of goods; upon his return she tells him to keep the trading stamps. The DOT ters are not kicking. either. for many of them have furnished their own flats as a result of the novel tipping system. New York Sun

no considerable percentage of them can be whipped into voting for it.
 Neither reed Arizona or New Mex ico have any fear that they may be compelled to wait twenty years to get into the union singly, for the east has been simply running a gigantic blufT on the west, and before Roosevelt is finally retired from the presidency both Arizona and New Mexico will have their stars in the United States flag.
 Though, so far as known. MT Graves is not personally interested in Arizona. he has taken a great interest in the question since the introduction of the Hamilton bill. and he wrote letters tO all the congressman he knew urging them either to defeat the bill Or to at tach a referendum feature to it
 Writing on the subject to R. F. Daggs. he says: 'I do not know how you stand on the question. but I pre- sume that you have good horse sense
