Plans for Bedrooms.

Instead of a double bed take two
single bedsteads. remove the upper
part Of the footboard, put the two
ends together in one corner of the
room, make bed on each. Then you
have the center and the sides of the
room for other things.
1t is also nice for larger room that
is to be occupied by two individuals
or elderly people, for they can each
have their own bed and can otter,
wait on and be company for each 9TH
er many times when otherwise they
would have to be alone.
And it is good way to fix the
little girls or boys room, so that
when they have chums come to see
them and stay over night they will
have nice spare bed for them in
their own room.

BURY TREES BY ERROR.
Mourners Sing and Pray All Night
Over Box of Pear, StripIings.

Macon, Ga.-A crowd of grief-strick
en- colored people consigned an assign.
ment of fine pear trees to grave at
Bowlingbroke, thinking they were the
remains of Tooger Adams, a negro
woman, who was stabbed by another
negro woman in Tybee.
The police, finding the dead woman
formerly lived in Bowlingbroke, mott
fed the mourners that the remains
would be sent on an afternoon train
When the box arrived containing the
pear trees it had so much the appear
ance of a coffin case that the party
took charge. The negroes carried the
box to the home of relatives and sal
up, sang and prayed all night.
The word was out that the body was
terribly slashed by the woman's as.
sailant and for that reason the box
was not opened. At the hour for the
funeral the colored pastor had his
text: by their fruits We shall know
them" Pallbearers, mourners and at.
tendants, after the usual custom
buried the pear trees.
When the next passenger train came
bearing the corpse and the funeral at.
tendants were notified there was
amazement and surprise. Winship
Cabaniss, farmer, found the mistake
when he made a search for the pear
trees.

snake is about three feet in length
and one of its favorite positions is
coiled in its mistress hair. Here it
will remain perfectly quiet for hours
at time, observing all that is going
on, however. The two snakes are
great friends. Billy receives as much
care as a child
Every morning the snake gets a
bath of new milk, the body afterward
being wiped quite dry. The box occu-
pied by the snake, which was made for
his especial occupancy, is constructed
of polished woods and is lined with
soft cloths. There are perches in the
box and a long shelf that his snake
ship may stretch upon.
Il have always had a great liking
for snakes" said Miss Lambert. Afraid
of snakes? Well, I should say not.
For my part 1 can't see what there is
about a snake that girl should be
afraid of. Now, some might say that
Billy is dangerous, but l am not a bit
afraid of the big fellow. It's true that
he has the power now to kill a hui.
man being by crushing, but l know
that he won't hurt me, for l think he
loves me. He is so nice and affection
ate, running his head up on my face
and in way almost kissing my cheek.
Why, I'd hate to part with Billy, and
don't intend to as long as ! can keep
him.
One day, not long ago, the snake es-
capped from its box and invaded the
family pantry. Then there was a great
commotion, for in his progress about
the place he tipped over many pieces
of china, and the resulting wreck was
something that the family may remem-
Der for some time.
1t was on the same day when the big
fellow was making his way through
the parlor of the house in his course
Of investigation that the family cat
espied the serpent. There was a fran
tic meow and the cat made her es-
cape through a window. Since that
day she has not returned, and it is
thought that the fright which the
feline experienced was so great that
she has gone to live with people who
have no snakes.

 preme court of Arizona from this ju. dieal district, arrived here Sunday night and left last night for Phoenix
 to perfect his appeal of the tax case of the Grand Canyon Railway company versus Coconino county, and arrange other matters of his law practice in anticipation of his confirmation by the senate.
 With his confirmation as judge of this district, he will vaeate the office of district attorney, position he is now filling for the third term.
 Speaking of his nomination for the bench by President Taft, Judge Doe denied that be had ever been an appli- cant for the place as stated in some of the daily press and further declared that he believed the position should not be actively sought by anyone.
 "The statements published that was an applicant for the judgeship are untrue" he said. ''I was not only not been an applicant but have not for warded any endorsements to Washing ton. I received only two communica- tions from Washington and there were by wire. The first asked me if would accept the position if rendered to me, the other was notifying me of my nom ination by the president. I sent only one communication to the capital, and that was in answer to the first tele- gram, stating that I would accept the honor in case it was rendered to me.
 ''I have always considered that place on the bench should not he ae. lively sought by any one. have of endorsements sent me volun- tarily, none of which I forwarded to

 Togo called at the office of the pro bate judge in the forenoon and asked for the necessary document to be unit ed in wedloek with his lady love. A cold chill erept over him when the judge informed him. that the law for bade such a union. He said his intend ed bride was i'll, but called again in

SCENE IN PATAGOMIA

(FrOm Tuesdays Daily)

Phoenix Republican.
 PATAGONIA, Ariz-, May 7.-The
 Leek-MeDonald copper mine, once op-
 erated by the I. T. Hosey company,
 will soon be in operation again and
 shipping ore. The mine was recently
 sold to William Kemp and associates,
 who are now putting it in shape for ore
 production. The wagon road from the
 Mansfield camp to the mine, about four
 miles, is being put in shape for ore
 shipping. As soon as the road is in
 shape the equipment necessary for the
 unwatering of the mine will be hauled
 in and work commenced. The shaft is
 down something more than 200 feet,
 and considerable drifting has been
 done already on both the 100- and 200
 foot levels, opening up part of the ore
 vein, so that stoping can be commenced
 as soon as the water is out of the mine. Capt. J. NJ. Thomas, recently of Globe,
 is superintendent, and has a force of about thirty men at work on the road, which will be in shape for hauling in a very short time. The mine is in the Santa Rita mountains, about twelve miles from Patagonia.
 Twenty men are now employed at the camp of the Saleros Mines com pany, operating ill the foot hills of the Santa Ritas, ten miles from Patagonia The main shaft is down 400 feet and the ledge is being prospeeted from a station cut at that depth by lateral drifts and cross cuts. Drifts are being run east and west along the foot wall, with cross cuts at intervals of twenty ! five feet. The ledge at the four hun dreds is from eighteen to twenty-two | feet wide, and has some very high i grade silver ore. The ore is in ehutes | cutting through thealedge, which was pretty thoroughly prospeeted with a diamond drill before thc shaft was sunk to the depth now acquired. The diamond drill work covered a period of many years, and with the knowledge so acquired the company knows where 10 sink, where to drift and where to cross cut to strike the ore ehutes al ready perforated by the drill. On the Eureka property a new tunnel has been started to cut the ledge l20 feet below where it is cut by the old tun- lel. The upper tunnel showed the edge to contain some fine gray copper md galena. The company again has nen at work on the wagon road be ween the camp and Patagonia. Most if the road work being done is in the -icinity of the big Montezuma ledge, where it crosses the road. It is eoun- V road, but funds seem to be scarce or road work in Santa Cruz county nd last year also the Salores people pent several thousand dollars on the anne road. The company is also oper- ting a diamond drill on the old Brad ord mine, near the Sanford ranch, five tiles south of Patagonia.
