DELEGATE SMITH BUSY DURING
 CONGRESS
SAYS HE BELIEVES BRYAN HAS EXCELLENT SHOW FOR ELEC- TON AND STATEHOOD IS POS SIBLE FROM NEXT CONGRESS.

Delegate Marcus A. Smith returned to Tucson Sunday morning from Wash ington, says the Tucson Citizen, wher, he has been for several months attend 1 ing the session of Congress as the rep resentative from this Territory in the national lawmaking body.
 He came home by the northern route and spent several days at Oak Creek in Northern Arizona, where he and As. sociate Justice Richard F.. Sloan showed catching a number of trout. Annually Delegate Smith goes on fishing trip with Judge Sloan, who is on of the
 eading members of the Arizona judi. ,iary and one of the most prominent republicans in the territory.
 Mir. Smith was busy yesterday and today shaking hands with his many ac. quaintances. He has been absent from Tucson for more than six months, look. ing after the interests of Arizona at the national capital.
 He is looking quite hale although he 's suffering somewhat from rheumatism. It is possible that he may spend some lime at Ague Caliente Springs in the hope of securing relief from his ailment.
 "The chances for statehood for Ari- zona during the next Congress look bright" said Mir. Smith today. "There strong sentiment in the east for Arizona, but there has been small hope If statehood for some time past owing to the obstacles put in the way by Speaker Cannon of the house of repre- sentatives.
 ''I think there is no longer any doubt that Bryan will receive the nomination for president on the democratic ticket. It was gratifying to learn that the Arizona delegation is instructed for the great Nebraskan.
 "I am firmly of the opinion that Bryan will be the next president. believe he is the strongest man the dem oeratic party could put forth, and pre-. dict that he will win over Taft, whom the republicans will nominate, think
 "It is hardly probable that I shall attend the national convention of the democratic party in Denver in July. Arizona has done her part and so have the majority of the other common wealths in the nation and there is every assurance that Bryan will be the next democratic nominee.
 ''People generally throughout the country are tiring of the republican misrule. They have seen the fallacy of the arguments of the republican orators that theirs is the only party and theirs the only principles that can insure pros perity in this country. The present sit uation and the large number of men seeking employment show these claims and boasts in sorry light.'
 Delegate Smith has worked hard for the Territory during the session of Con. gress just concluded and he is greatly pleased to return to this city. He stated that the weather in Washington has been decidedly warm and that it is a relief to be home again.
 During the session of Congress Del egate Smith was uutiring in his efforts to secure an appropriation for Arizona. His labors were rewarded by the appro- priation of $140,000 for Federal build ing for Arizona. This structure will be erected in Phoenix, as that is the Ter ritorial capital. |

Hungry Pike.

One Of my sons. aged fifteen, went
with three other boys to battle in In
glemere pond. near tho Ascot race
course. He walked into the water to
about the depth of four feet, when he
spread out his hands to attempt to
swim. At that instant a large fish
came up and took his whole hand into
its mouth, but, finding itself unable to
swallow it. relinquished its hold, and
the boy. turning round. prepared for a
hasty retreat. His companions. who
saw the fish, scrambled out Of the
pond as fast as possible. My son had
scarcely turned around before the fish
came up behind him and. Selling his
other hand crosSwse, inflicted some
very deep wounds on the back Of it.
The boy raised his free hand. which
was still bleeding. and struck the great
fish a hard blow on the head. when 1t
disappeared. The other boys assisted
my son to dress, bound up his hand
with their handkerchiefs and brought
him home We took him to the sur
gson. who dressed seven wounds in
one hand. and SO great was the pain

THE WILDCAT.
Its " snderfuI Power Shown In ia
leaping Ability.

Its Wonderful Power Shown In It's
leapins Ability.
The wonderful power Of a wildcat
is shown in its ability to leap long
distances. All Of the cat tribe have
immense power in their legs, and they
make up in the length of their spring
their inability to make a continued
chase. African leopards in captivity
have been known to leap from the
floor of the cages and strike the top,
twelve feet above. Tigers make ire
mendous leaps and strike down on
their prey with a blow of their power
full paws as they alight. But the
wildcat, for It's size, is probably the
most wonderful jumper Of all the fe-
lines.
A hunter who is we'll known for his
veracity told the following story Of an
adventure which illustrates this power:
Il was hunting ia the snow one win
ter and came across the track of a
wildcat, which followed for a long
distance. Suddenly the tracks came to
an end In a spot where the animal had
crouched. looked around to see
what had become Of the trail and
away head of me saw a bunch of
blood and feathers. From that spot
the track led on again of into a
swamp. The situation was susceptible
to but one explanaton-the wildcat
had been hunting for his dinner and
had discovered pheasant wandering
about In the snow. The cat crept as
close as he dared to the unsuspecting
bird and gathered himself into an ami
mated spiral spring, such as the cat
tribe coil themselves into when pre-
pairing to spring. and. releasing the trig-
ger. shot into the air. landing on top OF
pheasants usually are. could evade the
stroke. The distance from where the
cat crouched to where it caught the
bird was just thrtythree feet. l nat
urally supposed from the length of the
leap that the cat was young and in
full activity. but after l trailed it to
the swamp and shot it I discovered
that it was old and almost toothless
The animals hunger may have spurred
him to the great jump. If not, and the
leap was an evidence Of what a super
animated wildcat can do, l wouldn't
be surprised to learn that a young anC
active wildcat could clear at least
twice that distance when pressed by
necessity.

sitting Bull and the Telephone.

Sitting Bull had been captured by
the United States troops and was held
in close confinement. So also was an
other obstreperous Indian held in
confinement at a post about 100 miles
away. The officer in charge of Sit
ting Bull had been chasing the Indians
for two months and was wondering
what he would do with the captive.
In an inspired moment he decided to
arrange an interview between the two
Indians over the telephone. After the
necessary ringing up Sitting Bull was
asked If he cared to talk into the ma
chine. He talked into II for several
minutes and did heap of listening
also. He put down the instrument
finally and for hours was even more
gloomy than usual, at last beginning
to talk . himself. something very
rare for the Indian. Asked II he was
dissatisfied with his accommodations
or if there was anything they could dc
for him, he broke forth at last:
mo. I'm finished. It's all right when
the white mans plaything talks the
white mans language, but when i,
learns to talk the red mans tongue it's
time to stop"
1t Is believed that this talk over the
telephone between the two Indians
had a considerable influence in short
ening the Indian wars.-Boston Herald

PLENTY OF CHALK.
. Block That Was Once as Large as
the Continent of Europe.

D Block That Was Once Large
the Continent of Europe.
The small piece Of chalk which is in
constant use in the schoolroon, the
lecture room, the billiard room and the
workshop has strange history, the
unraveling Of which through all its
complexities is one of the most diff
cult problems with which the science
of the present day is called upon to
deal. This piece is in reality chip of
an immense block of chalk that once
filled an area the size of the continent
of Europe and Of which even yet sew
eral gigantic fragments remain, each
hundreds Of square miles In extent.
These patches are scattered over the
region lying between Ireland on the
west and China on the east and extend
in the other direction from Sweden In
the north to Portugal in the south
In the British isles the chalk is found
in greatest perfection and continuity in
the east and southeast of England. A
sheet Of chalk more than a thousand
feet in thickness underlies all that por-
ton of England which Is situated to
the southeast Of a Line crossing the is
land diagOnally from the North sea at
Flam borough head to the coast on the
English channel IN Dorset. This encr-
nous sheet of chalk is tilted up slight
ly on the west. and its depressed east
ern portions that dip toward the wa
ters Of the North sea are usually bur-
led from sight by means OF everything
sands and clays. Where the edges of
the chalk floor come upon the sea the
! cliff scenery Is strikingly grand and
beautiful. Any one who has once seen

and Beachy head. the Jagged stacks of
the Needles or the dizzy mass OF
! Shakespeare's cliff, near Dover. can
understand why 1.-The white cliffs OF

This massive sheet Of chalk appears
again IN France, in many parts of Eu-
rope as far east as the Crimea and
even in central Asia beyond the sea of
Aral. How far 1t stretched westward
/ into what is now the Atlantic may new
er be known, but chalk cliffs Of at least
200 feet in thickness are seen at An
trim, In Ireland, and less conspicuous
! formations are found in Scotland, in
| Argyll and Aberdeen. There can be lit
tie question that all these now isolated
patches were once connected in a con
tinuous sheet, which must therefore
have occupied superficial area about
5000 miles long by nearly 1000 broad
an extent larger than that Of the pres
ent continent Of Europe.
