To Choose Site for Odd Fellows Home

The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows will convene in Phoenix in April, when that body will very likely decide upon the location of the home which they propose to erect for the care of old people and for orphans left in their care by their deceased members.
 A number of propositions have been submitted to the committee having thls matter in hand, from various places in the territory, some offering to donate sites and some offering to sell sites. It is proposed to make this home permanent institution for good and credit to any section of the ter ritory where it might be located.
 The Old Fellows have had this mat ter in contemplation for a number of years, during which time they have been steadily accumulating funds for the purpose until they have now many thousand dollars invested in various securities which, when site has been selected, will be turned into cash and expended in the erection Of buildings, furnishings. etc.-Republican.

 The old saying "every thing done is for some good'' is proven by the con dition of affairs existing in railroad circles Tn this section of the country.
 While no one desired such an awful thing as the financial panic, it cannot be denied never theless that it has had the effect of causing many of the busi ness men ot the country, formerly sleeping, to wake up and see affairs are conducted along business lines. Where there were formerly, freight conges tions, shortage of cars, non- delivery of merchandise and the like, now the railroad yards present a cleaned up appearance, plenty of cars can be obtained for the shipment of goods, and delivery of GOnsignments are be- ing made with prompt dispatch. The construction of the different branches of the Cananea and Nogales, and Ga nanea and Rio Yaqui and Pacific rail roads continues without abatement, and every indication points to com- pletion of the roads within the spe- cified time. To secure such concessions as the Southern Pacific has from the Mexican Government was the result of much hard work and considerable and in order to show their appreciation of such favors the com pany is desirDus to connect the remote portions of the Republic with their main line, with view of opening up the vast mineral and agricultural lands, now without railroad facilities, to settlement.

TRICKS OF WRITERS.

A Ruse by Which kipiing fiqueo IT'S
Readers Curiosity.
when l first began to read Kip
ling" said an admirer, my curiosity
was immensely piqued by the scraps
of verse with which he usually headed
his early stories. They were all cred
tied to poems | had never heard of In
my life and were just such salient,
striking fragments as would naturally
whet ones appetite for the remainder.
For over a year tried hard to locate
those mysterious poems and enlisted
half a dozen book dealers In the
search. At last one Of them wrote me-
that was wasting time and that the
alleged quotations were merely Mr.
Kipling's little joke.
"In other words, he manufactured
'em to order and stuck them at the top
of his tales for the sake Of the odor OF
eruditlon they lent to the production.
I was mad for a while, but when |
cooled off l had good big laugh. Or
course you know Scott used to do the
same thing, and so. for that matter
did Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was really
the worst quotation fakir Of the lot.
He would write wise sounding de-
tached sentences and credit them to
imaginary German philosophers with
long, outlandish and impressive names.
However / don't know why the thing
should be punishable. The business of
a writer of fiction is to create an illu'
sion, and as long as he does 1t for
one am not particular what means he
employs to contribute to the end"

There Is canny reptile fisherman
which makes effective use Of the bait
which he carries in his own mouth.
This is the alligator swapping turtle, a
giant among reptiles, known to attain
q maximum weight Of IA pounds, with
n length of shell Of about twenty-eight
inches. 1t haunts rivers flowing into
the gulf Of Mexico, including the Mis-
sissippi, where it is common. In ap-
pearance and actions it is an enlarged
duplicate of the common swapping tur.
tie. Its pale brown hues well match
the soft, muddy bottoms on which 1t
lies motionless, angling for fish with
the decoy. The bait Is attached Inside

mouth part and closely resembling
large grub. While waiting the turtle
keeps this grub in motion, giving 1t
the aspect of crawling about In Il small
circular course. Its mud colored shell,
often studded with a growth OF fine,
waving moss. looks like great round
stone, and close to 1t Is second small
er stone, the head Close to this small
er stone crawls the plump white grub.
A fish sees 1t and makes natural

ODD USES FOR FISH.
Ono Makes Good Barometer, Another
Weathercock.


Fishes have been put to many queer
uses while still alive, but probably the
strangest was that suggested to the
war department by an inventor. The
propulsion Of submarine torpedoes was
the subject under discussion, and he
proposed that q shark be imprisoned
in a tube at the rear end Of the projec-
tile, its movements to be controlled by
the active application Of electricity.
In case the shark attempted to swim
away 1t was to be given an electric
shock and in this way kept on Its
course until the torpedo had reached
its target.
Another remarkable use to which a
fish has been put is as barometer

pheric changes, and when retained in

Molly hugged the sables to her bosom
In rapture, and then her smile went
away little by little, and she looked

Molly Gained her doubts. Sables are
soothing. Proud as queen, she went
forth in the streets at the Kids side.
In all that region of low lying streets
Russian sab!es had never been seer
before. The word sped, and doors and
windows blossomed with heads eager
to see the swell furs Kid Brady had
given his girl. All down the street
there were "ohs" and "ahs," and the
reported fabulous sum paid for tn"
sables was passed from lip to lip. in
creasing as 1t went. At her right el
bow sauntered the Kid, with the mir OF
princes. Work had not diminished his
love of pomp and show and his passion
for the costly and genuine. On cor
ner they saw group Of the Stovepip,
gang loafing, immaculate. They raised
their hats to the Kids girl and went
on with their calm, unaccented i pal
aver.
Three blocks behind the admired
couple strolled Detective Ransom o:

only detective on the force who coulG
walk abroad with safety in the Stove

only necessary to tie sheet OF thin.
strong paper over the wide end OF
tin trumpet Hold it with the sheet OF
paper upward. take a thin pinch or
fine sand and place it in the center or
the paper, hold the trumpet vertically
above your face and, sing note into
the lower end. Do not blow. but sing
the note. Lower the trumpet carefully
and look at the sand. You will ind
that the vibrations Of your voice have
scattered the pinch of sand into
beautiful sound picture. Every note
In the musical scale will produce
different picture. so you may produce
great variety Of them. Some OF these
pictures look like pansies. roses and
other flowers; some look like snakes
and others like flying birds. In fact,
there Is no limit to the variation.
