VACATION.

This IL the glad vacation time,
When dainty Doris rests.
She's staying ~ beach hotel
With some six hundred guests
She golfs and swims and drives and
walks
Al dey without a stop,
And every night she flrts till twelve
Or dances at hop.
She's having just quiet time
To rest her tired brain.
Her work all through the college year.
You know, was such a strain!
But nowshes resting gaining strength.
As all girls ought 10 do
She's up each day al eight o'clock
And gets 10 sleep At two.
How pleased IL vacation. when
Your brain 10 tired out.
To rest your nerves and give you calm
And make ven strong and stout
And Doris will return refreshed,
Her brown eyes bright and clear,
To look ahead 20 peaceful days
OF rest another year.

PAIN AND PLEASURE.
The Sensations That Como When q
Person IL Hanged.

The Sensations That Como When 9
Persen 10 Hanged.
This is the way Rev. J. i, Mann In
Spare Moments describes the way i
feels 20 be hanged;
At Fort Barrancas, Fla, on April T.
1868, | was hanged as a Confederate
spy. spent four minutes physically
and spiritually between earth ana
heaven. Then Yankee sergeant, be
lleving me to be tho wrong man, cut
me down.
My llrst sensation when the barrel
was kicked from under my feet was
that steam boiler Inside me was
about 10 explode, Every vein aud
blood vessel 70 and from Ey heart
seemed charged with an oppressive
fullness that must hnd an avenue or
escape The nervous system through
out It's length was tingling with
painful. prieking sensation the like OF
which ! never felt before or since
Then followed the sense OF an explo-
sion. as II a volcano bad erupted. This
seemed to give me relief, and the pain
gave way 70 a pleasurable feeling, one
very desirable could Il be secured with
out death. With this sensation light
broke in upon my sight, a light OF
milky whiteness, yet strange TO say,
so transparent that II was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light OF
day. Then came into my mouth a
taste OF sweetness the like OF which ]
have never since known. And felt
myself moving on. with a conscious
ness Of leaving everything behind.
Then heard the sweetest music. and
II seemed that more than thousand
harps led in each part accompanied by
myriads Of voices,
And the sensation Of coming back to
life after l had been cut down was
Just as painful as the FIRST feeling OF
hanging. II was acute torture. Every
nerve seemed 10 have pain OF is
own. My nose aud fingers were seats
OF the most excruclating agony. In
half an hour the pain was all gone. but
would not go through the experience
again for the wealth Of the Indies.

Republicans.

Your vote in September for the
State Ticket win determine the deli
egate representation of your town
in future State, Congressional and
County conventions. When your
vote has given you your greatest
delegate representation in these
conventions, your town has achiev-
ed more politically than when your
September vote in a presidential
year has fallen off and depleted that
delegate representation. For this
reason your town should poll every
Republican vote. Your town pride
should cause this to be done.

As I promised you. tho writer of "Chuck Wagon Chat" intrudes again on your time and space.
 It is almost two years since l essayed to pipe off the doings of The Poverty Outfit" Though somewhat out of practice, will again make my entering bow. My wanderings of the last year and a half have taken me over . goodl y portion of the western and south -rn parts of Coconino county, anti will write of some of the curious rock formations to he seen in those parts. To the writer tho most in teresting is Pivo, Rock. This is a mushroom shaped limestone cap, about sixteen by twenty feet ir' diameter. four or five feet in thick ness, and resting on a sandstone pedestal, four feet high and aboui three feet thick. This support iA fast smelling of and ere many year. have gone by Pivot Rock will be a pivot no more. An interesting feature of this rock is two young pine trees growing on it. One it nearly twenty feet high and six oi eight inches in diameter. The other is about six feet in height. This curiosity is a half mile wss, of the Tonto Basin road, down Pivot Rock canyon, opposite an old taw mill site-two or three hundred yards east of it. We would like to see the forest reserve people take hold of this curiosity .nd perserve it, which could be lone at a small cost. It is seventy miles from Flagptaff and on the road to the Natural Bridge In Ton to Basin-one of the wonders of the west.
 Down in the red sandstone for nation on the Oak Greek road thirty miles south of Flagstaff art to be found many interesting sights At the rim where the lava flow breaks off, is . large slab of mala pal, resting on two upright walls .,r lodges, twenty feet long and several feet wide, and three or four feet thick. This is known as "Tht Devils Doorway" which he forgot to close on his way from the Sar Francisco craters to the lower regions.
 Five miles down tho mountair one find "The Camel" huge sand stone point, which very much re sembles a camel lying down Near. by is "The Sphinx" To the wee, is Cathedral rock. Farther west ii Montezuma's column, which is e shaft of great height. rising from g large monument. Due south o1 Schnebly's on the Bell Rock road to Camp Verde is to be found Father Time at His Desk" "Th. Goddess of Liberty" "The Three Graces" and Arizona's sandstone edition" of "Cleopatra's Needle,'' and last but not least on this line of wonders are Bell Rock" and Court House Butte" Each oi hose are immense piles of sand stone. the first very much resem bling (though many times larger our famoua liberty bell. "Courl House Rock" rises several hundred feet perpsndicularly. and when seen at dusk looks SO much like an immense building that one almos, expects to see it lighted by cleo tricity and peopled by fairies or goblins.
