 While the high centerpiece gives very fine effect. and admits of a beauti full floral display. it is not so much used today as low silver or cut glass dishes-a netting is often placed over the dish. so that the flowers may be more easily arranged Poinsetta is an ideal Christmas decoration for the table or the house. as 1t provides an abundance of the Christmas color.

A MILL ORDERED FOR
 THE BUFFALO ARIZONA
Sinking Has Been Stopped at The POO Level Pending the Placing of Pump And Hoist.

The Buffalo Arizona Mining Co. as Bennett, on Saturday let a contract to the Arizona Iron Works for the cree lion of a five-stamp mill on it's prop erty north of MOrristown. The mill is to be an entirely new one and a part of the machinery. in fact the greater part of it is already here. ready to forward to the mine. The contract calls for the completion of the plant in forty-five days. The contract also includes ore bins. an ore crusher, and an eighteen horse power Western engine
 A good hoist is already on the ground ready to be set. as we'll as d sinking pump. and two 5000 gallon water tanks built by George Hager- man. while two carloads of lumber are en route from the Arizona Lumber Co. of Flagstaff.
 The mine was closed down a few days ago and the force transferred to the Hercules property, with the excep- ton of two men who are kept as watchmen and to keep the water down in shaft. The shaft is 200 feet deep. and the water is coming in rapidly. The only hoist was a horse whim and it was about all a whim could do at that depth to keep up with the water to say nothing of development. It was thought a waste of money to continue working at such depth against disad- uantages so the force was taken off ntil the pump and the hoist can be .saced to facilitate operations

A PERMANENT SHOW.

The 10c vaudeville show opening at Adams skating rink on Monday night surpassed our greatest expectations for both novelty and excellence The nov ing pictures supplied from the Or pheum circuit were sharp. bright and clear and beautifully colored. "A Trip Through Hell' was well worth a dollar of any patrons money and the battle between Indians and cowboys thrilling to an extreme. Many other exciting and soul stirring scenes were conspic- uous by an absence of any fiickering movements. and as steady as an oil painting. The musical end was in the hands of Professor Jones and Madame Hartwell. w. B. Jones' rendition of "The Pillows of Despair made a de- cided hit. Mrs. Hartwells selections were very catchy and choice. The management. MT. Temple Karmont of Karmont Bros, Denver. has already established houses in Amarillo, Fl Paso. Bisbee and Tucson and is feeling his way to open ten-cent amusement house in Phoenix.

Cold Water For Swearing and Ear
 Clipping for Hog Thieves.

1 To punish a child in such a way that
 it will see the direct connection be-
 tween the correction and the fault is
 one of the precepts of modern educa-
 ton. The judge of the eighteenth cen tury was not worried by such pyscho- logical theories. but his decisions often had the grim humor of fitness. What
 could be better for the scold than a cooling plunge, or for the wife beater than a few lashes on his own back? Alice Morse Earle instances. in a book on "Punishments of Bygone Days" some of these picturesque but often cruel sentences of the colonial court.
 A number of tender hearted English
 gallants joined a pioneer expedition to Virginia. The weather was cold and the work hard. When these soft mus cled young men were set at chopping trees their hands were sorely blistered by the aX helves. With the cries of pain many oaths were heard. The president of the company soon put stop to this swearing by ordering a can oi cold water to be poured down the sleeves of the guilty one at every oath he uttered.
 In colonial days hog stealing was considered one of the most serious of crimes. At the first offense the thiet's ears were slit, at the second his ears were nailed to a pillory, and at the third he suffered death without bene- fit Of clergy"
 Deceitful bakers and careless fish dealers had to loose their ears" while he who spoke detracting words had his tongue bored by a bodkn.
 A Frenchman travelling in America in 17OO. describes the ducking stool as a pleasant mode of punishing scold- ing woman. He says:
 "Of members, ye tonge is worst or beste. An yll tonge oft doth breede unreste wOrthe a ducking stoole."
 In 1635 Thomas Hartley. of Virginia, wrote of his witnessing the execution of a ducking stool sentence:
