Tramp.s Bluff worked.

A tramp went into bakers shop
short time ago. The weather was
warm. yet he shivered and trembled.
"a loaf of bread. please, num-" he
stammered, putting a sixpence on the
counter and keeping his hand danger
ously near it. The girl lifted the loaf
from the shelf. wrapped it in paper,
and handed it to him. AS he took it
he looked at her with an agonized ex-
preston. would you please tell me,
mum, where the nearest hospital is ?"
he gasped. why, are you i'll ?" Queried
the girl, compassionately. IT believe
I am. They have been having the
diphtheria where L live. and I must be
getting it, Get out of this place!"
shrieked the frightened girl How

your dirty money! "All right, num-"

 Gilman several years ago was Q bank clerk here. but resigned his po- sition and went to Charleston, W. Va. A year later he returned to Goodland. and, it is alleged, gave out the impress sion that he had acquired great wealth. He organized the Home Bank, and. by paying large rates of interest soon built up an extensive business. When the bank failed Gil- man disappeared.
 Settlement of the banks affairs has been exceedingly slow. Two dividends totaling 13 per cent, have been paid. and it Is said another dividend of per cent, soon to be made, will wind LII, the assets of the bank.

A PEAcHERINo.
(Paradise Record


 The annual New Year number of the Douglas International-Americ is a peacherino. Without a doubt it is the finest number of it's kind ever got ten up by an Arizona newspaper, and would do credit to a city of SO.0OO population. To prepare the copy for a 40-page edition like that is no small task, to say nothing of subsequent work, and the expenses attached, be fore the finished product can be placed in the hands of the reader. The only objection other newspapers can have to this edition Is that it's ex- cellence is so high as to deter simi- lar effort on the part of others in flu ture In all Arizona it would be diff ficult to find a paper deserving more commendation than the International American for endeavoring to build uE it's home town and to speak fearlessly for what it believes to be for the good of the greatest number. And 1t deserves the united support of the reopie and business houses of Doug las.

Pinto creek was sold yesterday by J. B. Newman to l. N. Kinsey. While the price was not made public, 1t is understood that it was a very large one for a half interest in an unde- yeloped property.
 The claims are splendidly located, lying between the property of the Ari- Zona National and the claims of the newly organized Calumet and Globe company. The lead known as the Brewery or McNelly. which traverses the properties of both companies. ex- tends the full lengths of the Charley claims, and recent developments al the Arizona National have demon. strated its high value.
 The owner of the other half inter. est is Dr. T. Shields Collins, who, with D. D. Sullivan. recently sold the Brewery and three other claims for sS5, 900 to the Calumet and Globe com pany.

or relatives of soldiers, known as the Army Canteen club, has declared that the Brownsville riot would not have occurred if the army canteen had been established at the Brownsville post This may not be true. but it does seem reasonable. If the negro troops had been given canteen privf leges-and restrictions-at the post they would not have made themselves so objectionable about town and would not have frequented the "Jim Crow saloons, where very bad brands of liquor were sold and where there was no restriction on the amount absorbed.
 Practical temperance is in favor of the army canteen; theoretical temper ance is against it. and theoretical tenn perance won over congress in spite of the fact that the judgment of a majority of the members was in fav- or of maintaining the canteens. The wives and daughters and sisters of sol diers and sailors are very strongly in favor of the canteen. but they are out numbered by the women who belong to various temperance societies hay ing less knowledge of the real condi- tions and needs of soldiers. The army canteen will be restored in due time Its restoration is essential to the good of the army, from either a military or moral standpoint.

THE HOUSE
 SPEAKE RSHIP.

SFEHHGhonIr.
 As the time draws near for the as sembling of the legislature, interest in the probable work of the lawmak- ing body and in the choice of its lead CTS, upon whom depend much of the responsibility of legislation. grows nightly.
 The selection of a presiding off cer for the lower house is a matter of great importance. Several candi- dates seek the honor, among whom Hon. Nell E. Bailey, of Cochise coun- ty, seeHc5 most prominent. MT. Bail sy has the support of Cochise county, and judging from expressions of the territorial press, is favored in almost all other quarters with the exception of Maricopa county, whose choice is said to be MT. W. D. Bell, of Phoenix.
 MT. Bailey's record as member of the previous legislature stamps him as being eminently well fitted to re- ceive the honor. As floor leader of the democrats he displayed energy, firm ness and tact, and thorough knowi- edge of parliamentary practice. His views upon matters of public import ance likely to come before the legis- lature are marked by moderation and good sense, and a proper regard for the best interests of the territory Tucson Citizen.

ANTl-GAM BLING
 LEGISLATION.

Concerning the probabilities of the legislature passing a law during the coming session prohibiting gambling, the Phoenix Gazette says:
 Tn the absence of something better, local laws and city ordinances against gambling do very well. but what is needed to entirely rid Arizona of the practice and place her right in the eyes of the world is a strong territor. all law absolutely prohibiting all forms of gaming.
 No argument has ever been ad- Eaneed that. from moral, business or any other point of view, could be construed as favorable to gambling and wherever the voters have been of fered an opportunity to express an opinion they have invariably declared themselves in favor of closing the games. ZEE
 In the light of these facts it is highly improbable that the coming session of the legislature win ignore this highly important matter. Indeed the belief is growing that the law makers will not wait for congress to pass the Littlefield or any other anti gambling measure, but will forestall any such action by adopting a sstis factory territorial statute eradicating the evil.

LOOKS LIKE A GOOD STRIKE


 H. NJ. Jeter and Clyde Hill located four claims in the Graham mountains, near Stockton Pass, a few weeks ago. They have had assays made which in- dicate that a strike that looks rich has been made Rock from one part of the ledge assayed little over $22 in gold, while samples from another part showed gold values of more than $4. There are other metals in the ore, platinum, it is believed, being one of them. Samples of the ore have been sent to E. E. Burlingame and Co. of Denver, for assaying and andy sis. Until the result of the test to be made in Denver is known the val ue of the strike cannot be estimated.
 The ledge of ore-bearing rock is very wide and If the outcroppings are any indication the locators have dis covered a mine of great wealth.
