 Joffroy pitched a steady game for the Nationals and was given spler did support by them.
 The Reds got their lonely tally in the first inning. They succeeded in getting q man to third several times but no further.

 Medina, the Nationals catcher, was hit on the head in the fourth inning and knocked out. He was playing off of first and the pitcher threw the ball, but instead of the baseman getting it Medina got it on his head. It did not hurt him much for he scored a moment later. "Kid" Busch succeeded Bailey as captain of the Nationals. He makes fine captain.
 When 1t comes to managing a ball team, Bert Bristol issure there. He "savies the burro," and not only the burro but the ball team also.

hffN'f WNhEfW " N'tf N4W " h aFff'NtfH q Justice of tho Peace in that pre- cluct, a case wherein stranger who was too accommodating by half, was found guilty of the offence of selling liquors without a license, and was nulct to the tune of $500, in lieu of the payment of which he was sentenced to languish in the county jail for a period of 100 days. In connection with the case were some very amusing developments.
 Wednesday of last week, as Is he case always in small settlements in a Mexican oJBlajion, Sar JHan's day was observed at IubGc by the gathering of gentry from far and near, who proceed to enjoy them selves as best they may. When there is liquor to be had the crowd becomes very hilarious and funny in the extreme. At Tubac is 6 joint kept by some people named Valdez, d man and wife In the days of moderate liquor license they ran a saloon, but when the license was raised to $500 per annum, payable in advance, they abandoned the liquor trade, and sold soft drinks only. On San Juan's day the crowd there gathered became very hilarious, and Deputy Sheriff Lowe was satisfied that something strong CT than soda water was sold across the bar. He reported the matter by telephone to District Attorney O'Connor, who instructed the dep- putty to secure evidence if possible, and make arrests. The deputy gave half dollar to Jose Kaphan and instructed him to buy a bottle of wine at the Valdez joint. He was told that there was no wine, but they could sell him bottle of beer. Kaphan reported that in- formation to the deputy, and was instructed to get the beer. When he returned to the joint for the beer the owners had become wise and would sell him nothing.
 Kaphan then gave the half dollar to one Ramon Madril, who went to the place and was sold a bottle of port wine, in large soda bottle, on which was one of BohalI's labels designating strawberry soda. Ma dril was served the wine by one Pedro Vallestero, who is stranger at Tubac, and was visiting in the vicinity. Vallestero took the money.
 Deputy Sheriff Lowe reported the matter to the district attorney, who went down to Tubac Friday of last week, with a complaint, and caused the arrest of ValIestero and Mrs. Merced Valdez. The case was set for trial on Tuesday, the 30th ult.
 At the appointed time the trial was had, and in the course of the proceedings there were examined quite a number of witnesses. The evidence was very plain that the defendant Vallesteros had sold the bottle of wine to Madril, and had received the money. The bottle of wine was in evidence and after sampling it's contents the court pronounced it port wine of very good quality. But there was nc evidence connecting Mrs. Valdez with the sale of the wine and she was discharged, while Vallesteros was adjudged guilty. With that judgment the attention of the jus tice was called to the law which

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot
fee even after they know 1t is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good.
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day l asked her why she did
not give up coffee as cousin Of mine
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
a taste.
That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend Of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked If It
was coffee. told her 1t was Postum
and gave her some to take home. but
forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
THE next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee.
So l told her how to make it right
and gave her cupful l made. after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both our homes" Name given

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Disseminated
in His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out, by inquiry. was a
little girl of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then, after
moments thought, he continued:
please, God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God. don't you bless
the little girl what's got the ponl."

 MUNICIPAL. EXPENDITURES

No municipality loses anything in making expenditures in public im- provements. If taxes should per force be increased, property will correspondingly increase in valua- tion. Then of course there would be no hardship entailed on this score. But there is another side-o con siderable importance that should not be lost sight of. The expendi- ture of public moneys, when judi ciously expended, in improving streets. alleys, parks and other pub lie utilities, attracts attention from the outside world and eventually parcel of that outside world gravi- tates to that place which shows a disposition to beautify the surround ings. If the expenditure of $25 adds a valuation of $100 to a place, it would be penny wise and pound foolish not to make the outlay. If taxes are increased five per cent and your property advances ten per cent in value, where is the business man or woman who would not quickly acquiesce in the matter of increased valuation made possible by increased taxation?
 It is just this very thing that is attracting thousands upon thousands to the shores of the placid blue Pa cific. Every hamlet, town and city of California spend vast sums in im- provements and they are the gathers by adopting this policy. A town of today out there, becomes a city to- morrow.
 If Mena were to adopt the same principle, follow the example of other places, the imagination can hardly realize to what proportions we might grow and expand. Ma ture has smiled kindly upon our city in the matter of climate, location, beauty of surroundings, soil rich as the richest and health-giving atmosphere; and now all that is needful is for our citizens to display spirit of aggressiveness, of energy and push. Everything else to be deserved will follow.
