Meanness of a Joker.

From Illustrated BiIs.
 Some people cannot resist the tempta- tion to play practical jokes on innocent victims. A fiend of that variety was accosted by a man who stammered badly. "Can you tell me where I can get some g-g-g-good c-c-c-carpet t-t-t-tacks?"
 Yes certainly replied the inveterate 1okist. You turn down this street to your left then turn again to your left and then go straight ahead. and you'll find an ironmongers where you'll be sure to get them
 The stammerer continued on his way, and the jolSst bolted down the street and tackled the ironmonger first.
 Have you any g-g-g-g-good t-t-t-t-tint- t-t-tacks?"
 "Yes, sir" said the obllging man. pro ducing his best after some rummaging
 Are you sure th-th these are g-g-g- good ones?"
 Yes. The best that are made"
 Are th-th-the heads st-st-st-strong?
 Yes. sir
 Have they g-g-g-got s-s-s-s-sharp p-p-p- points,?
 Certainly"
 Well. p-p-p-please s-s-s-s-sit on them t-t-t-til I get back, will your" he said, making a dash for the door
 Presently the unlucky stammerer ar rived and, entering. asked innocently: Have you any g-g-good t-t-tin t-t-t- tacks-"
 When he recovered he asked. in a somewhat dazed fashion. whether the house had fallen on him, if 1t was simply an explosion.

 MT. Saltpeter smiled. Maybe" he said you will see something new. We live and learn"
 MT. Saltpeter bet century note. MT. Simmons, with pained look on his face, showed up his whole pile.
 After some hesitation Mir. Saltpeter called, showing down his four queens.
 With look of anguish MT. Simmons exposed four aces before the astounded Cochems
 Sinful! Sinful" murmured MT Pete Simmons az he poeketod Mir Saltpeters money and walked to the doorway, where he paused to say All in vanity"
 And he dealtl' said Mir. Saltpeter
 The next afternoon as MT. Saltpeter. feeling little, light about the pocket, was walking tokard the Bimbelmeier cafe with his friend Ignatz Einstein. the noted detective, he passed Mr Simmons
 Do you know that kike?" asked MT. Saltpeter.
 Sure l know him." said MT Einstein.
 Who is he?" asked MT. Saltpeter.
 Pete Simmons. the great confidence man and best card manpulator the world ever knew. If you want to keep your money don't play poker with him. said Mir Einstein.

He did not look up as l passed him. this humble Othello, with marvellous dexterity he was fash ioning, in bamboo, an angel with out stretched wings.
 In the weaving department the convicts were making uniforms for the army.

 One old man, whose eyebrows reminded me of white feathers laid on the fore head of bronze statue, was critically regarding a newly-made khaki coat He was an old burglar, who had spent most of his declining years in the prison.

 Seems to play them pretty close" Mir Saltpeter whispered to Mr Shabbosdeckel pretty close for man that got such an excitement over not playing"
 MT. Simmons won most of the pots In which he played. "The desire is slowly leaving me-" he said. My appetite for play has in a measure been appeased I snail only take part in a few more hands, and then return to the brethren, confess all and try to start over again"
 Your de9l,' said MT. Saltpeter, push ing the cards toward MT. Simmons
 The stranger said: This shall be my last hand; am satisfied with what have had and my meager winnings shall be devoted to a good cause"
 He shuffled the cards with much dex- terity and dealt with accuracy. q wish to get it over with" he said and hope l have not given any one any hands that are worth anything"
 And MT Saltpeter was gazing in rap- ture at this very instant into the faces of four queens
 In voice that he vainly tried to con- trol MT. Saltpeter broke the pot for a big sum. Every one refused to draw cards until MT. Pete Simmons was reached, and he, 1t was observed, did not pick up his hand.
 Hoping to rid myself of some of this dross that l have won," said MT. Sim mons, "I shall stay and raise you the size of your break without looking at my hand"
 MT. Saltpeter suppressed a joyous ex- clamation and raised back again
 Well, I shall Just see you" said the visitor How many cards shall | help you to?'

BOUNTY LAW
 WILL SAVE MUCH
Estimated That CoChiSe Coun- ty Will Profit By Several
 Thousand Dollars

TOMBSTONE. Ariz. Marca 16.- The Wolf bounty measure, greatly reducing the bount es on wild ani- nal skins. which received Governor Kibbey's signature Thursday is al ready in Cper on in th.s county.
 A copy was rec we'd by the board Of supervisors and henceforth the county will pay boUnt.es as prescr bed by the new law. Under tie provisions of the new bi anly S1O instead of s20 will be allowed for lobo skins while for wildcat dss but one dollar in stead of five W T be paid.
 The superv sors state that the new
 law will mean the saving of several thousand dollar annually 10 Coclise county Under the old order the sum paid out for bounties each year mounted into the thousands and the heaviest item was the sum paid for wildcat h des last year beng nearly
 $S000. The new bounty law still re-
 quires the payment of one dollar for
 coyote hides
 It is probable that in the future
 hunters will not devote so much time
 to hunting wild cats as the bounties
 they will receive will not give them large returns.

 working day and night on this bill for improvement at territorial institutions. If this is the case don't see why they did not bring the bill into the house in the night s'nne. It certainly should not be looked at wscn one can see" !"
 After persistent effort to defeat the bili on the ground that the sums ap- propriated would raise the tax rate, all opposition was withdrawn and the bili passed with only Pace and Gibbons opposing it. This action was not taken, however. until the Florence bridge appropriation of $30,O00 had been amended to repeal the act of two years ago giving $19.00O for the bridge. A second amendment to the bill was secured by Morris to make appropriation for the pioneer home in 1909 in place of 1910. The university at Tucson was given s2s. 400 for i'm provements. Most of the time dur ing consideration was taken by Ora ham county members, who sought to open the way for tae removal of the Benson school to Granam county.
