EMBARRASSING ERROR
 BY PHOENIX DRUGGIST
It Gives Him and Government Of- fieial Mighty Bad Half Day.

It was developed yesterday morning that a most distressing mistake had been made in an action begun on sus- picion which was so strong at the time that there seemed to be no possibility of error The day before. Druggist F.. B. Rives had sworn out warrant for the arrest of government officer on the charge of appropriating two $2O gold pieces. The officer had called at the drug store and in the course of his business. stepped behind the prescrip- tion desk where Mir. Rives was engaged in counting some money. Before he had finished he was called to the front of the store. and before he re- turned to his desk. the officer had fin ished his business and gone out.
 When MT. Rives returned to his money counting task he immediately discovered that the gold was missing. He was positive at the time that no one but the officer had been there in his absence. Of that fact he did not
 have the slightest doubt. When the officer was approached on the subject he naturally manifested a great deal
 of indignation and the warrant was sworn out and the matter was set for hearing before Justice Johnstone at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The officer, though not a resident of the city. is well known here and it was felt that notwithstanding the positive ness of MT. Rives great mistake had been made and the friends of the ac- cused man had no doubt that an eS- plantation would be made.
 The officer was greatly perturbed, and was on the point of telegraIs . ing the facts to his superior, but was dissuaded from doing so. Late in the afternoon Mir. Rives telephoned the court that he was ready to exonerate the officer. and though nothing could then be done about it. the officer was informed and was greatly relieved Yesterday morning at the time set for trial, MT. Rives appeared in court. laboring under great emotion. He approached the officer, and seizing him by the hand, held on. saying T hope to God that this thing has not caused you half the suffering I have endured since l discovered my mistake" Turn ing to the court and the officers of the court, he said: 'I want to exonerate this gentleman fully and to say that If there is any reparation I can make I am ready to make it. It is all a horrible mistake"
 Mir. Rives did not say how it had been made, but it is inferred from his remarks that the money was actually taken, but that between the time he had left the desk and his return to it another person than the officer had been thre, and that MT. Rives had se- cured positive knowledge that that person had taken the money.

THE BLUE GUM.
The Rapid Growth of this Member of
 the Eucalyptus Family.

! The Blue Gum of the eucalyptus two most rapid growing trees in the United States. The results of a study of a large number of timber trees of this country just completed read with almost as much interest as the fairy story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The United States Forecast Service which made the investigation has compiled | figures which show that these two trees may play an important part among the woods which will contribute to the future timber supply.
 | The species of Eucalyptus known as blue gum was introduced into south ern California many years ago for ornametnal purposes and windbreaks Its rapid growth attracted attention, and it is now being planted for fuel, poles. piles, and timber. This wizard of tree growth will reach almost two and onehalf feet in diameter and I4O feet in height in thirty years from seed. and stump sprouts grow at least one-half faster for the first fifteen years. Indeed, two-year-old sprouts are frequently 30 feet high and three inches in diameter. Sprouts at seven years yield a good crop of fuel wood and at twelve years on medium grade 1 soils 60 cords of fuel shrdluhrdJu soils 60 cords per acre may be har- struction because they are not seeshr vested. But in addition to its fuel value, the tree furnishes piles valuable for sea-water construction because they are not soon destroyed by the marine borders. which quickly honey combs other timbers. Further, the wood is very hard and strong: and if its tendency to twist and check in seasoning can be overcome, Eucalyp- tus promises large results for wagon stock material furniture, and general hardwood uses. Its range is unfortu- nately limited to regions where severe frosts never occur.
 | Cottonwood is a native tree and grows in many parts of the country. Nowhere else does it approach the rate of growth it attains in the lower Mis- sissippi bottoms, where it reaches a diameter of 22 inches and a height 126 feet in thirty years, and in fifty years a diameter of 30 inches and a height of 143 feet. This wood will take the place of white pine for many uses. and for paper pulp shold displace the comparatively slow growing spruce.
 Another way to get an ida of the growth of these marvellous trees is by comparison. Eucalyptus, or blue gum, will in thiryt years produce more than ten times as much wood as spruce white oak, seven times as much as sprout chestnut, five times as much as red gum, six times as much as loblolly pine. six times as much as California redwood. and eight times as much as white pine.
 Cottonwood in Mississippi will pro- duce at least four or five times as much wood as spruce. and two or three times as much as white pine. In ad- dition, these rapid-growing species reach marketable size much earlier than others. These contrasts are with the better growing trees, and if made with such species as sugar maple. beech, arborvitae. and hemlock, the difference would be still more mar vicious.

tides. The mother has gone to meet with the Mothers Club to discuss the vexing problem of other folks chil- dren. In the meantime, the boy is do- ing his level best to find a bosom friend. Just anywhere-just anywhere just to find. perchance, bosom whose heart is big enough to hold his childish sorrows. And all the while the boy grows more and more con- scious that the old home is no more than a mere boarding place-a place where he may eat and sleep. What a boon-just passing acquaintance with his father and mother. The crash comes. At once the daady and many of well dressed street waif enter a protest against the evil influence of somebody's boy. The boy laughs in his sleeve-he has a right to. He knows-yes, he understands. What foOls-what mortal fools. The last one of us are fools. This old world needs no institution half so much as the
 homes of the long ago. I speak far back of my times-but I've seen the
 output of the homes of forty years ago.

WORSE THAN ONIONS.
Bad Breath From Indigestion Cannot Be Overcome With Perfumes.

All of us suffer from bad breath sometimes our own, but oftener that Of our friends.
 Nine-tenths of this bad breath comes from some stomach trouble. and can- not be overcome by breath perfumes or any other palliative measures.
 If you occasionally have a bad breath: if there is heartburn, flatu- fence and acid gulpings of undigested food; if the stomach burns or smarts if there is sleeplessness. nervousness headaches or any other of the many symptoms of indigestion, use Mi-o-na stomach tablets and get we'll
 Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive nor a physic, but a tonic remedy that strengthens the muscles of the stom- ach and bowels so that the flow of gastric juices is increased. and the food is digested naturally and does not stay in the stomach to ferment and poison the breath.
 The Larson Drug company have seen so many cures made by Mi-o-na stom- ach tablets that they give a guarantee with every 50-cent box that the money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. They take the whole risk, and a box of Mi-o-na will not cost you penny unless it cures you.

PRIMARY LAW NEEDED.
Better Regulation to Secure Party
Sentiment Is Wanted.

OF a score Of Republicans inter-
viewed briefly today on the primary
law all but three favored such a law
though nearly all protested unfamil-
iarity with exactly the provisions to
be incorporated.
Some favored direct primaries for
every office; others favored a modified
convention system, applying the di-
rect vote to the smaller territory and
the delegate system to the larger dis
trict, but all agreed that the restric-
lions Of a general election should be
thrown around the primary and that
such law is badly needed as an adj
vance step in our nominating system.
This feeling is general and while
disagreeing on the best form OF the
law Republicans want a measure
adopted that will insure fair express
sion for the rank and file and prevent
the crossing of party lines in primary
voting.
