Found Many Ruins
 In San Simon Valley

That the San Simon yallsy was once inhabited by A nov extinct race there can be no douht, as this anc ent population, whoever composed it, left their marks which are there to be seen" Thus spoke J r. Sexton, who was in this valley for ten days re- gently, surveying government land and making close observations of the country.
 "During my trip saw num1er of ruins of settlements which were evil deptly composed of many people These settlements were all located close up to the mountains and in the mouths of various canyons coming down into the va ley. Atone of these ruins saw fully two hundred plainly marked foundations oi buildings which once stood there. I picked up num- Der ef arrow heads, which indicated the means of attack and defense of these ancient people. Also l found many ancient 'matate., used once for grinding grain into meal. These relics are not uncommon in the valleys oi , Arizona.
 At one place l discovered what seems to have been an ancient race track. IL is circle more than mic long. I do not believe this perfect race course was the result of nature At regular intervals are prominent view points marked by huge bouIders l have no doubt that the San Sinor valley once supported A dense popu lation and was under cultivation"

The meanest trick We have heard of lately was played on his wife by prominent Pres. colt man who takes consid- erable..interest in politics.
 He had been requested by his wife to lay aside his other duties long enough one day to dig the potatoes in the garden.
 He consented and after dig ging for a few minutes he re- turned to the house and said he had found a coin. He washed it of and it proved to be a silver quarter. He put it in his jeans and went back to work. Presently he went into the house again and said he had found another coin He washed the dirt of of i, and this time it was a silver half dollar. He put it in his ! jeans. T have worked hard, said he to his wife; "gues: I'll take a short nap
 When he awoke he found that his wife had dug all tn, rest of the potatoes. But sh, found no coins. It thel dawned upon her that sh' had been worked"

There are vacancies in the Rsnger
 force, for the Arizona Rangers are
 lacking four men, and Captain Wheeler

However, this theory has been shot full Of holes by the state ment of Captain Wheeler, who says that he wants straight, reliable men.

The Demented
 Track Walker

Charles F.. Drumgold. better known and who likes to be known as "Ari- zona Charley" the poor, demeuted old track walker, who is well known in Tucson and in mary otEer towns along the Southern Pacific line from Colton to Fl Paso, was m Yuma yes teriay, says the Sun. having walked in from Ogilby. Last Friday night he went through Yuma going west, but through some freak of his dis torted imagination he turned on his tracks before reaching the end of his "beat."
 The old fellow, who has not been seen quite so often lately as Tn former years, looks as though he has just about reached the end of his journey His exceeding scant clothing is tat tered and torn, his shi-t sleeves are m shreds, leaving hi- arms to bakI and blister in the desert sun, and hi, steps are distinctly feeble. The de- crepit, demented old man cannot make many more trips, but he stil imsgines he is paid to watch the rsi road track and prevent wrecks. IT.. beat. he says, extends from ColtOn al most to Fl Psso, but he frequentl, turns back from his journey eastward at Benson, Demiug or Tucson. Tn, old man rarely rides. but yesterday exhibiting postoftice card notilyinl him of registered at Gila Bend, h expressed his intention of riding t' that point. Inasmuch ss all the rail road men know him he can ride when ever he wants to- The men on tn road often give him money also, whic he accepts under the belief that it part of his salary.

A man returned late to his room in a hotel and kicked of one shoe, which flew with a chatter to the other end of the room. Then remembering that the man in the next room was a nervous fellow and a very light sleeper, he divested himself of the rest of his clothes as quietly as pos sible and got into bed. Three hours later he was awakened by a voice at his door, says an exchange. For goodness sake, said the voice, which he recognized as that of his ner- vous neighbor. when are you going to kick ott the other shoe? l have been lying awake for three hours waiting for it.
