HEAVY STORMS SEEN
 IN YAVAPAI COUNTRY

PRESCOTT, Sept. 9.-E. N. Mar lowe reports that the water was high CT in Williamson Valley, during one of last weeks storms, than at any time since the settlement of the dis trict.
 Miles of fences were washed away and great damage done to a number of the ranches. Fifty head of cows and calves belonging to me were car ried down stream by the flood for about half a mile and dashed against wire fence, which was also carried away. The cattle swam to higher erfard aEt were saved.
 The flood surrounded the home of Harry Clarke. near Simmons, where high water never appear ed before and did considerable damage to the Clarke ranch. The water rose to within two inches of the floor fl the Clarke resi- dence and for while it seemed as if the place would be carried away
 Tn Skull and Kirkland alleys it is reported that all the crops were de- .troyed by the hall and sFeet storms. and as far as roads are concerned. outside of Prescott. there are practi- cally none in some places. especially near the creeks and guliies. where the oerflow washed the grades away :"

4 Legend of the Sea That Still Appeals
 to Sailors.

A Legend of the Sea That Still Appeals
 to Sailors.
 The sailor as a class still holds fast to the superstitionS that have been his especial heritage throughout all ages. To him the sea is still peopled with phantOmS. Men there are still who sail the sea believing in the power of the Swimmer. men who believe in the Wal rus of unhOly fame and in the exist ence of the specter bark Lucy to be seen at any time lodging in and out of the creeks and bays of the South Caro- lima coast. This is the tale of the Swim mer:
 Near Cape Finisterre there lived fisher maiden in days when the world ;:scea tsss7s 711 s7s1a with her Tired her fishcr sweetheart On their wedding night, runs the yarn smugglers came down on their village, a thieving, drunken band. When they left, having done all the damage they could, the fisher maiden's sweetheart had disappeared, whether with them or through them was never known. Instead of pining uselessly, as would most women, she dressed herself in mems clothes and started to find him. dead or alive.
 For years she wandered over the earth and ocean, and, though her dis guise was penetrated several times and she passed through a host of trou bles which vary with each telling. she succeeded in keeping up her hunt. Fi naIly after escaping from an Euglisb prison the vessel she was on was lost at sea, and the simple Breton fisher. men enshrined her in a legend which has her forever swimming the seas still in search of the man she loved and hai1ing each craft she hears. A sailor, be he Yankee or Portuguese matter of fact in all things else or grossly superstitious, believes firmly that if you hear the hail of the Swim mer on a dark night at sea and an- swer it not woe follows swiftly.-New York Herald.

How They Fooled the Prsaeh.r.

When our grandmOthers arranged to have chicken for Sunday dj2ner-for the preacher-they picked out the big gest and fattest and toughest old hen on the place Saturday afternoon and had the boys and dogs run her down g A tough old hen that is chased all over the place and frightened out of her life is as tender as spring lamb when cooked. Fright makes any animal, bird or fowl tender, so the books say, and it appears from this that our grandmothers knew what they were about when they had the tough old hens chased before killing.-El Dorado Ran.)

In the rivalry to claim the honors of being the first ir- rigatOrs the Chinese representatives had all others distanced. for he told how his forefathers dug canals four teen centuries ago. But the United States had the advantages and has outdistanced my people in making use of water in connection with agri- culture" he said This is well, for it seems that the mission of America is to work out all of mankind's great problems.
 Though we in China began irriga- ton centuries before you people real ized its possibilities, have come here for my government to learn from you.

USED BIBLE AS CIPHER.
A Verse From Solomon Told of a Mar

 When she left her home in the small town to come to New York to take up a special course of study her pet sis ter was fast reaching the crisis of 6 winsome young lady and had long kept R gOodly train of suitOrs assigning. Was this affair to be the grand affair? The older sister hoped so, for she liked the young man cOrdially-thOught he was just the sort to make a proper brOther-in-law.
 But the weeks passed, and not a bit of definite news about the progress of the affair did the older sister receive in her city boarding house. She be came anxious. Louise, she thought, must not go on recklessly trifling in such important matters.
 Then one night about 10 o'clock, just as she was going to bed, came a tele- gram. The servant brought it up. The elder sister was country girl enough to be thoroughly frightened by the pale manila. black linked envelope. How ominous it looked, At length she gathered courage to open it. This is what she read:

ROBBERY IN PARIS CAFES.
No Prices on Bills of Fare, and Walters
 Impose on Guests.

Impose on Guests.
 q tell you" said the returned Euro pean traveller, taking up the bill of fare, tits good deal of relief to get to a place where one can know the exact cost of things to eat and drink. When on the other side narrowly es- capped nervous prostration because of the latitude in the prices of items on the menu. Paris Is about the worst of- fender among European cities in this respect. In restaurant after restaurant there prices are omitted from the bill of fare simply to give an opportunity to rife the pockets of the unwary. Take my advice and have as close an approach to an iroDclad agreement as possible with your garcon regarding the 'demnition total of your meal be- fore giving your order. If you don't. there's trouble and pecuniary loss ahead. The waiter. with the conniv- ance of the proprietor of the cafe, will do all he can to impose upon you.
 "One tragic story thnt l can ,youch for may be of interest tu American tourists. It shows one variety of res taurant robbery in Paris illustrating incidentally French ingenuity. An American woman gave small lunch con at a well known place to half dozen friends. She had TO intention of making it an elaborate affair. She knew French ways and had careful estimate made of the cost of the repast ordered. After the second course she noticed that the walters were pressing upon her guests deIicacies for which she had not stipulated, and she ob- served. too. that a point was made of asking each person if she would have some of this. that or the other thing. Of course the viauds were accepted These extras were succeeded by oth- CTS, the poor hostess not being able tor felt she was unable. which amounts to the same thing to stem the tide rap idly ovcrW helming her pOCketbOoS When she had a stormy session with the proprietor she could get no satis- faction.

The Perfect Servant.

The thoroughly trained English serv. ant is in his way the most perfect kind of servant to be found anywhere, and in his station and for his duties he is not to be matched in the world Where will you find any men so competent in their work, so completely trained and apparently emotionless in manner, so punctnal, so clean, so smart, as an English butler, coachman, footman or valet?

Until the result of the visit of these two strenuous characters is made known there will be much un- easiness in the ranks of the republi- can politicians in Arizona It might strike the strenuous Frank that his brother, Ben Heney, of Tucson, would make a good governor of Arizona.

OUR RIGHT TO FEEL SECURE.

Perhaps Europe and even Asia have q right in some regards to scoff at us and our country. They think no- thing good-except money-can come out of such a new country as is ours and they call us money mad. In. waTdly they hate us for the democ- racy of our masses and the disgusting snObbery of our newly enriched few. But though We know they feel that way about us, what care we? The American is the most wonderful build sr and creator the world has ever seen. He has ridden rough sho6 ove the conventionalities and customs of the old world and Tn less than 15O years has outdistanced in a thousand ways his international competitors centuries old. Knowing this, Is 1t any wonder that he should look upon him self as one of the lords of creation? Is it any wonder. though he shnuld outwardly not indicate it, that he should inwardly say, T am greater than thou?''
 While it was not permitted Ameri- ca to give to the world any of the original seven wonders we are fast making up for the lost time when this country was the home of say agery instead of Anglo-Saxon genius. The list of wonders must now be counted in the teens and of these America has furnished the most Our latest wonder is the 6I2 feet Singer building in New York which pierces POO feet or more the heretofore won There are forty-two office stories. From the sidewalk to the top of the flagstaff the building is TAP feet and there are actually forty-nine distinct stories, seven of which. however. are not used for commercial purposes. All the genius of our builders is repre- sented in this prodigious pile that ac- knowIedges only the Eniel tower, a purely ornamental structure, as a peer in height. They are building for scores of years and they realize they must build well Not alone are the foundations to be considered bat they must consider the wind weight press ing on such a prodigious structure So 1t is that specially constructed braces have been devised by archi- tects and engineers that not only give the structure the necessary security but still permit of proper treatment by the architects On each floor of the tower extension are sixteen of fees and it is estimated that the building will house as many people as half of Douglas population repre- sents.

American upland cotton is figuring prom
inently in many Of the efforts to introduce
cotton growing in the British colonies. The
latest Report on the Uganda Protectorate.
issued by the Colonial Office. says that
American upland appears to find the climate
and country more congenial than any other
variety Of cotton that has yet been intro
duced. Tit natives are beginning TO grow
il extensively. and it seems likely that the
culture Of this variety OF cotton will become
a national industry. About 200 tons OF cotton
nave been purchased from the natives in a
little more than a year, and a company is
preparing to devote considerable capital 10

tribes OF Africa. When SPEKE first saw

be making more rapid progress than any
other tribe of equatorial Africa, and with
their advantages for raising cotton and
their great demand for cotton cloths IL will
