 POSTAL CARD FREAKS-The fad
 of sending picture postal cards has aroused the inventive genius of man. kind to devise some freakish and pc culiar conceptions. Incidentally the postal authorities have had their trou- bles. Some designs are not admissible to the mails on general principles, oth- CTS violate well prescribed rulings of the department. One kind that can not be sent without being enclosed in an envelope is those covered with rough glazing or crystals of any char acter as such will cut the hands of the clerks in distributing. and also often damage other letters in the pouch. Quite a quantity of cards mailed in transparent envelopes are now at the city postoffice. Most of the senders placed the stamp on the card inside Of the envelope and made it impossible for the office to cancel it. A ruling has been made against cards placed in those transparent envelopes which have a convenient hole perforated at the right upperhand corner to make possible the canceling of the stamp on the card. This is considered a viola ton of the rules.
 DIDN'T KNOW HIS NlECE-R. II. | Woolf recently made arrangements for | a lady in his old home in Birmingham. | Ala. who is his neice. to come out to ! Phoenix for visit. He accordingly | wired a ticket and prepared for her 1 reception. The young lady started all | right so he learned. and on the day 1 for her arrival he came to town to | meet her but the miss did not arrive. | He was then sure she would come in | the next morning, so he bought a tick i ct to Maricopa to meet her. When he l came back 10 Phoenix the next morn | ing he came alone. He was much | worried and had steps taken to find | out where his relative had gone and | caused the officials all along the | Southern Pacific to wire for informal ! ton. By the time he returned to his | ranch he was convinced that some l thing was radically wrong. When he ! went into the house whom did he meet | but his neice The fact was that he ! had travelled all the way to Maricopa. l rode back on the train with the young lady who was to visit at his home. but did not know it. His neice after waiting in town for him took the af- fair in her own hands and drove out to the ranch. And now she has the laugh on her relative and he cannot but acknowledge the joke.
 WATCH FOR THE BOES-The city marshal wishes all householders to take extra precautions during fair week. when quite d number of unde- sirable citizens and hoboes will be in town. While Marshal Moore promises that the police department will do all it can to prevent theft and petty crime. yet he hopes no one will put temptation in the boes' road by care lessly leaving things around where they may lay fingers on the property. The houses should be securely locked during the occupants absence. On account of the fair many of the light fingered gentry will drift into town. hoping to get some easy picking. The marshal wishes no one to feed these characters and if any suspicious indi- viduals are seen lettering around. he desires the householders to inform the police department and the arrest will be made or the party watched. The reformers will not have to appear against the suspicious ones. as all that is desired is simply to locate and run the criminal element out of town 1 A little cooperation from the people | will prevent many annoying thefts | from occurring.
