Nearly all the printers had left, so the
new man got a piece Of the copy, a
page from about the middle. He car

ingly, turned 1t upside down, looked at
1t again and finally put it in position
before him and began to scratch up

What he had set up ran about like
this: "The merchant who wrote the

Tonight I shall Jump a freight and as
I am somewhat shaky from recent

Needed the Prayers.

Needed the Prayers.
A sympathetic old clergyman in an
English country village was waited
on one Sunday morning just before
service by a young man, who said:
"Will you kindly ask the congrega-
TONS prayers this morning for poor
William SMITH"
"Willingly," said the clergyman.
And at the proper moment in the
service he besought all those present
to pray earnestly for the unfortunate
William Smith in the great trouble
and peril that encompassed him. The
request, he was pleased to note, made
a deep impression or the congregation,
After the service, meeting the young
man who had asked for intercession
in Smiths behalf, the clergyman said:
what is the matter with your
friend? Do you think It would do
any good If I were to call on him?'
"I'm afraid not" was the sorrowful
reply.
lis It so bad as that?' said the cler.
gyman. what is the trouble, then?'
"Bill," said the other, lis going to be

Lifting the soul from the common clod

Northern Arizona Is
 Becoming Such.
IN GREAT DEMAND
From The WinSlow Mail

From l he W1nSIOW Mall
 Northern Arizona is coming to be known as one of the greatest sheep-raising count,i ies in Amer ica. Carload after carload of sheep are being shipped every day and the sheepmen are finding out that their choice sheep are in such demand that it is impossi- ble to supply the same.
 Messrs. Spellmlre & Lyons, two progressive sheepmen ofthis county, who make speciality of the famous Rambouilett Merino rams, were scheduled to exhibit some of the choicest of the lot at the New Mexico Fair, recently held at Albuquerque, but in or der to supply the increasing de- mand for their sheep were una ble to put them on exhibition. They will send a choice bunch to Phoenix, however, to be exhibit ed at the Arizona Territorial Fair, which will be pulled of in November.
 N. $. Bly, has just sold about 10000 sheep to J. L. Munds of Prescott, who will transport them to that city in a few days.

Sewer System For
 Winslow
From The WinSlOw Mail

FTO1ll l ne w l1lSlOW M all
 At the next regular meeting of the city council action will be taken on the sewer system prop osition, the city attorney will submit a report showing the gen eral status of the city, and giv- ing an estimate of the popula- tion.
 An election will no doubt be called about the first Tuesday in next month, when the people will have d chance to vote on this proposition. There is no fear felt as to the outcome of such an election, as everyone, with the exception of few local capitalists, seems to be in favor of having the system installed at once.
 The cost of the system, as es- timated by w. P. Bullock, a con- sulting engineer of Chicago, will be about $40, 1000, and the firm of Ulen, Sutherland & Co.,, bond ed abstractors, of Chicago, have signifed their willingness to SUD- ply the money as soon as the people have decreed that the sewer shall be.
 The survey for the system has already been made, and much of the preliminary work has been done, so that as soon as the outcome of the election is known work can commence at once.
 They who argue that it will be bad policy tor the city to go in debt to such an extent are not progressive, and these same men, the Mail learns, are anxious tC install privately owned sewer system, so that their opposition is simply a selfish one.
 The Mail believes that this sys. tenn should be installed at once and that the city should do it and we believe the people will re cord their votes the same way If private individuals can make a good thing out of it, the city won't be the loser by putting it in.

VALUABLE AS HONEY FINDER
Zee Cuckoo OF Africa Of Great Service
to the Natives and Protected
by Them.

One of the most sagacious OF birds
is certainly the bee cuckoo, or moroc,
little bird very like the English
sparrow
1t is found In various parts OF Afri-
ca where wild bees abound, and, being
unable to help itself to the honey,
which is its favorite food, 1t resorts
to human aid.
Having discovered swarm OF bees,
II flies to the nearest habitation, and
attracts by Its cries of "Cherr, cherr'
cherr," the attention of some OF the
natives. 1t then flies off in the direc'
ton of the nest, uttering its cry and
waiting for its followers to overtake
it. Should they be tardy 1t returns
to meet them, and seems as il trying
to urge them on to greater speed, the
natives answering 1t with low whis
| tie.
Arrived at its destination, 1t Is 81
lent, waiting patiently on the bougl
of neighboring tree while its hu
| man friends dig out the nest, goo'
share of the honey on the comb con
tanning the bee maggots, being left b.
| them for their feathered guide.
The natives never injure this bird
and always prevent travellers fror
shooting 1t.

Is Yonr Family Reading Worth While?

So much of current reading is merely
entertaining at best that the question
mutually arises, is it worth while2 Your
sons and daughters are bound to read
something. They hunger for stories
which take them into the other half of
the world-the world of adventure, OF
valor, of fortune-making. The prob
lem is to give them such reading with
out putting into their hands literature
that is either silly or demoralizing. The
editors Of the Youth's Companion be-
lieve that periodical can be made enc
tertaining and yet worth while, and
The Companion is conducted on that
theory. And that is one reason why
more than half a million American
families read it. The paper is safe, but
not dull. It's tales of Adventure illus
trate the advantages of fortitude and
self-reliance. It's stories of character
lay stress on the truth that right con-
duct is never mistake.
