Arizona Indian
 Confesses Politics

When John Mckee, s Papago In dian from the San Xavier mission, was arrsigned before Justice Redondo in Yuma the other day, he pleaded guilty to having been drunk and die orderly but said that he wac a citizen of the United States aud 8 good re- publican.
 He spoke excellent English and in- sisted that a republican stice of the peace should not fine an Indian who had served his party by helping the Quay machine in Pennsylvania.
 Judge Redondo told Jim that he knew Pepnsyl7ania politics were bad, but that he never before heard Of them voting Indians. Mckee, how ever, insisted that he voted for Gov ernor Stone seven years ago, and he probably is the only Indian in Ari- zons who ever cast 6 ballot. He was a Carlisle man at the time, and his squsw was graduated from the gov ernment school at Grand Junction Colorsdo.-Yuma Sun.

Architects Submit
 Prison Plans

Architects have submitted to the board of control two plans for the new territorial prison at Florence, but neither of these plans have as yet been adopted by the board. Other plans will be submitted and the board will select from the lot the best plan.
 Governor Kibbey stated in a recent interview that the board would prob ably decide to construct the prison buildings of reinforced concrete. This material is becoming very popular with architects and engineers as it has stood better against fire and earth quakes than any other material used m modern construction. Wslls con- structed of it have greater strength and endurance than those constru ted of brick or nstura' stone.
 Active work on the prison will moi be commenced before about December 1, as the appropriation for the con- struction work was made from thu territorial general fund and the none,
 will no, he in that fund until thu
 taxes for this year shall have been re
 eeived.

Arizona Horses
 For England

Down in southern Arizona, an En- glish horse buye is purch sing COW ponies and shipping them to England for polo players. The Tucson Post says he has shipped one carload and more val fol'ow. He has paid from $6O up for the horses. These horses cell Tn England, according to the ia cility with which they take to the game, from $500 to sl. 900 and higher. It costs s75 to transport one of the ponies to New York and $50 more to land it in merry England. Most of these animals are regular old COW bropks who learned to guide their movements by chasing steers.

Newspaper Man
 Begins New Life

Editor Semple of the rouglss Ex- aminer has investigated the merits of the liquor cure and gives his version AS follows:
 Tipping and drinking of intoxi- eating liquors, is in some but a pas. time, a social function, a sooc time, 70 to speak, among congenial spirits. With cthers it may, from long use and abuse, have become a merciless disease, more ravenous than even the White Plague In the latter case, manhood is destroyed, sense of refinement has departed at the mo- ment the brain is afire and infi4med the being is obnoxious to others and when the moment of remorse comes around 'tis then the addicted realizes recurrent events through which he may have passed anG however the an. guish of those matters may taunt and revile. it cannot be wiped out. The thing has been done. All the tenn perance lectures in the world cannot wipe out the matter.
 What will man not do while the brain is whirling with artificial power His dignity las gone. his brain i' lost, his actions are pestiferons to hi' neighbors' and generally he i, con- summate nuisance to those witt whom he may come Ia contact.

DARN IT, ANYHOW. Sobriety is a crowning virtue, but it is sbominsbly lonesome. Alter looking back over my pyrs- technic record in Arizona, in politics, journalism, hard rock delving n every capacity, I find that glory is transient and that "sll is vanity"
 If had my life to live over. when I was 2l Sould go to my dad and say. "Give me that spau of bay males, give me a strirrin' plow, a cultivstor and . corn planter. He D me build log house on that south east 40." Then I would go scross the road, marry the ugliest girl old Grimes had |. take her, cross-eyed, frecklss. red hair and goodness, and begin to i've. HER FIRST DREss. An ancient Ysqui squsw in the suburbs vf NacoIari recent.y y told Jack Giifoil that if he would buy her q dress Ike the ''gringo" women wore she would show him . mine.

 The squaw was as good ss her word, and within ten days Jack had de- nounced, stsked out and sold the prospects for s.,OoO.O0 gold,
 Coming to Douglas Jack never s!ep, till he went to the Copper Queen ssors and bought $l4 siik skirt and . polka dot waist. He went her one better and bought her pair of shoes and snuwwhits stockings. Jacl smuggled the outfit through all right bu. putting the togs on her is wher' real trouble began.
 | It is best described in Jacks owl language.
 "Hell che slid into the waist, wron side in front, before we could inter. fere. Then che made . neat bow 6 the stockings under each ear.
 "Now she was leary of the skirt J which happened to be an underskir after all, and the only way we coul manage it was to btindfold her, ham, that skirt on . mesquite bush an back her into it.
