the great leathern DoOt OF tne cooSn
a thin, sallow and hollow-eyed boy OF ABOUT
fifteen years.
He was such a shabby and altogether for
lorn and wretched-looking bit of humanity
that the stage driver, rough and unsympa-
thetic as he was, evidently had not the heart
to be very severe on the boy for the Tree rlde
he had stolen,
"Well, where'd you come from, you miz-
Fable little deadhead?" was what the driver
said at first, but he laughed as he said it.
''From Webster" replied the boy, as he
brushed the thick dust from his ragged gar
ments.
"And you've rid all the way in that boot?"
asked the driver.
"Jee-whizz! I should think it'd bumped
your insides out by this time. Webster Gtys
forty miles from here"
"T am pretty sore" replied the boy.
"And you amt had no dinner?"
mo"
Nor no money to get it with, I'll bet a
quarter"
"Yes-ten cents"
The driver laughed again, and some of the
men standing on the porch of the little, low,
log hotel laughed, too,
The proprietor of the hotel came out at
that moment, and the stage driver said:
"See here Higgins, here's little chap
that's rid in the boot of the stage all the way
from Webster, without eatin' bite, and he
amt got enough to pay Tor hard-blled
egg. You give him good square meal and
charge it to me, if you amt got anything he
can do to pay for it.. Derned i the kid shan,,t
have all he can eat for once. Looks as though
he hadn't had that privilege for year Go

hotels of this kind, came from the open dooI

The boy, started up the steps leading to the
little porch, and ;tIs then st stopping suddenly hf
awiwardly to the driver: -, !,
'TMuch obliged, mister I'll do as much
for you some day if ! ever get the chance"
''Well, / hope it'll be a long time before
YOU see me humping around over the noun
tains in the boot of stage, my son" replied
the driver, laughing lightly, as he drove the
iaded horses toward the log stables in the
rear of the hotel.

The Ships Loo.

The ships log consists of n log chin
ana log line. The log chip Is n piece
OF board. shaped like the fourth part
OF circle, loaded with lead on the
round side. so that it will stand up In
the water. The log line is $50 to 200
fathoms long. 1t Is wound upon large
reel, so held as TO let 1t run out easily.
The line is divided into equal parts by
DIS of string run through 1t, each
marked by the number of knots I'm It.
hence these divisions nre called knots
The log chip when thrown into the wa
ter stands still and draws out the log
'ihe as fast as 1t unwinds, and the
speed OF the ship is shown by the num-
Der of knots that run out in half Il min
ule. Inc usual length OF knot is
1I-3 feet. When 1t is known how MANY
or these run out In half n minute. It ia
easy to calculate how many would run
OUT In an hour by multiplying by 100.

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to en-
ploy physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the loss of a limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand Chamberlain Remedies have
been in the market for many years
and enjoy a good reputation.

Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com
plants.

Geronimo's Book.

The bloodthirsty Apache chieftan,
Geronimo, has written book or has
had one written for him by s. M.
Barrett, superintendent of educa-
tional work of Oklahoma, who has
taken down the story of the life of
Geronimo as the wiley old chief de-
tailed it.
The story of Geronimo's life is in
teresting, especially that of his
earlier years, which until now had
not been generally known. 1t will be
noticeable to all Arizona and New
Mexico pioneers who read this story
that the wiley chief. in reciting his
many fights in Sonora with Mexicans
and his achievements there, studi-
ously refrains from telling or even
referring to his many raids of MUIR
der, pillage and destruction through
Arizona. Here was the theater of
his bloody work, his ferocity and
plunder, says the Arizona Star.
The many raids into and through
Mexico pale into insignificanCe when
compared with his raids of devasta-
tion through this region. Geronimo
was no doubt well aware that a re-
cital of these deeds so near home ard
from where he was banished twenty
years ago and to where he longs to
return, would not be desirable. In
fact, like all criminals, Geronimo
denies that he ever committed a
crime

Visits the President.

In the territory of Arizona there is
no man of better social or financial
standing than J. N. Porter, president
of the First National Bank OF Globe,
Arizona, who is at the New Willard,
accompanied by his wife and their
beautiful young daughters, Misses
Stella and Lillian. Mr.. Porter is Il
native Texan, and still has large in
terests in that state. Some twenty
years ago he went to Arizona, in the
development of which he has taken a
leading part. Mr.. Porter had very
pleasant interview with President
Roosevelt, in the course of which-he
told the chief executive that he was
proud to meet him for the double
reason that he had never before seen
a president of the United States, and
because he loved to shake hands with
imam that had done things At
this Col. Roosevelt smiled in his
usual intensive fashion and paid back
the Arizonan's compliment in clever
Washington Post.

Fire at CONGRESS.

Congress, a big mining town sixty
miles south of Prescott, suffered the
most disastrous fire ever known in
the town on the night of May 81,
when Congress Hall, $4,000 building,
was totally destroyed, with contents
and three persons lost their lives.
The building was a two-story frame
affair, of which the lower floor was an
assembly hall and theater and the up
per floor occupied by the Knights of
Pythias, who lost $1,000 in parapher-
MALTA.
The fire originated under the stage
by tramps sleeping there. The build
ing was insured for $1,000 in the Fire
Fund Insurance company, San Fran
cisco.
For a time it was feared the entire
town would be destroyed, but heroic
work on the part of citizens and the
fact that no wind was blowing
saved it.
Charles Prince, a blacksmith, was
burned to death in the building. He
entered, attempted to carry out
piano, which fell on him. Before
rescuers could release him the roof
fell in.
A Mexican miner, name unknown,
entered the burning building and
never came out. Another miner also
entered the building and was lost.

Convention of P hySiCianS.

After two days session, during
which subjects of Importance to the
people of the entire territory were
discussed in a most thorough manner
the sixteenth annual convention Of
the Arizona Medical Association
came to an end in Bisbee last week.
In the words of one of the prominent
delegates, the assemblage of the
physicians this year was productive
of greater common benefit to all
than was any other convention of the
organization.
DIR. o. E. Plath, president of the
association, called the meeting to
order, and called upon DR.. G. A.
Bridge, of Bisbee, to read paper on
'Pernicious Anaemia.' In his treat
ment of the subject DR.. Bridge went
into very thorough discussion of
the causes leading to the presence of
anaemia, its effects while present,
and courses of treatment which from
his personal observat tion have been
effective in remedying the condition.
DR.. Bridges paper was thoroughly
discussed from all standpoiuts leading
to the interchange of many ideas.
DIR. D. Cassidy, of Bisbee, read
paper on conjunctivitis, treating the
disease in all of its various phases.
DIR. Cassady's paper was discussed
generally.
After all papers had been submit
ted the chairman then announced
that the election of officers for the
ensuing year was in order, and after
nominating and voting the following
gentlemen were chosen for the re-
spective Offices:
President, A. r. Hickman, Doug
las; first e-president, A. w. AL
colt, Tucson; second vice-president,
j. E. Drane, Jr., Mesa; third vice
president, L. P. Kendall, Jerome;
secretary, John w. Foss, Phoenix;
treasurer, E. B. Kitcherside, Globe:
counsellor, o. E, Plath, Phoenix;
delegate, F. c. Wright, Douglas;
essayist, John w. Flynn, Prescott.
Tucson was selected as the place
tion, and after rendering votes of
thanks to the Cochise County Medical
Association for its kindness and hospi-
tality, and to DIR. Charles Browning,
of MonrovIa, California, for his paper
on tuberculin and its uses, the con-
vention adjourned.
An elaborate banquet was served
at the Copper Queen Hotel in honor
of the visitors.
The theft of a quantity of plati-
mum valued at between S400 and $500
from the labor atory of the Old Do
minion smelter, was made public.
The theft occurred last week, but was
kept secret in the hope of securing
the thief. Sheriff Thompson received
word from the sheriff at Ell Paso
stating that the man and the plati-
mum had been secured and asked for
advice concerning their disposition.
a strange feature of the case is that
the thief is not known at the reduc-
tion works unless he gave a fictitious
name when apprehended. According
to the telegram received from Ell
PaS0. the man gave the name of
Frank j. Coule. He was caught |
while trying to dispose of the valua-
BILE metal to the Mine and Smelter
Supply company, which had been ad-
vised by wire of the theft shortly |
after it occurred. Coule admitted |
the theft and expressed his willing
ness to return to Globe without ex-
tradition

The new laws which have been pro-
mulgated for the immigration service
of the UHited States become opera
tive July l. The principal feature of
interest is the raise of head tax for
foreigners from 81 to 81. They will
have to pay this amount each time
they come into the United States
Another strong feature of the new
law is that which empowers the de-
partment of commerce and labor to
deport all prostitutes from foreign
country within three years after they
have become residents of the United
States. This will give the immigra-
tion authorities power to handle some
very Objectionable characters. Local
inspectors have familiarized them

and are preparing to enforce them
when they become effective.
