 Business for HimsIf

When Dan Taylor, one of the own. CTS of the CaEruthers and Taylor ranch in the Swisshelms, was away from the ranch on the Fourth of July, cele- brating independence day, Mexican goat herder to whom he had entrusted the care of his goats during his ab- sence, drove 1900 goats across the in- ternational line and 80 far as is known has not yet been apprehended though most of the goats have been recovered The Mexican at last accounts was still at large and at least 300 of the goats were missing.
 The matter was reported to local authorities yesterday and: Ranger Sam Hayhurst notified the Mexican author ities at Agus Prieta.
 When the Mexican herder reached the international line the herd became separated and most of the goats were ound roaming around. When they were rounded up it was found that about 300 were missing. The Mexican is supposed to have gotton away with these.

The recent Announcement of Anto- nio Apache, who was in Phoenix sev- ersl days last winter and who claims to be an Indian and is pronounced by William NJ. Cary and Edwin w Dem. ing to be a negro, it WAS learned was due to his name being offered member ship in the Campfire club in New York
 It appears that at s meeting of the New York club, when Apsche's name was proposed, several members who had heard tie story about his having a negro father, viole riy opposed his elsc.io ion on the ground that he was an imposter, and succeeded in having him black balled.
 Apache's failure to come toward with proofs his denial, and in psrtic ular his positive declination 70 submit to ready solution of the problem by al- lowing any examination of his hair has largely reduced the number of hi. chAmpains.
 It was few years ago that the Apache appeared in New York, and attention was drawn to him by his being "A guest of Mrs. John K Drexel ~ho made lion of him at reception which served to introduce him to the most fashionable set of Gotham.

Clark must account for all the dealings of the United Verde Copper company, involving the cum of more than $500, ,O0O, 900. The de- cision comes after eight years litis. atiop, as the result Of . suit brought by George A. Treadxell, for the mi- nority stockholders.

From the Chicago News.
 Never judge a woman by the lightness of her hair.
 Running for office costs al- most as much as running an automobile.
 If gray hairs were a sign of wisdom, fewer men would have them.
 Our idea of a charming woman is one who is ignorant of her charms.
 When a man has a good job he should take ou. a fire insurance policy.
 The better acquainted a man is with himself the hard Tit is to fool him.
 Figures may not lie, but they are capable of being jug gled by crooked accountants. Some men do not care to take vacation trips because their wives insist on going along.
 When a woman is talking she dislikes to be interrupted as much as a man does when he is eating.
 The average woman seems to think that all her husband $ good qualities are due to her influence.
 You may have noticed that one girl no sooner breaks 8 mans heart than another comes along and bandages il up.
 A physician says that worry makes people thin, but it doe: not seem to affect fat women who worry over their fatness
