BiSbee Man Owns Rare Gem Which He Got From
 Bovine Flesh

Charles Mahan. a well known young society man and sartorial sSnius. Is the possessor of one of the rarest pearls in the world. perhaps, although it's commercial value does not give it tile to this rank. It is rare from the fact that he got it out of a beef steak at local restaurant a few uights ago.
 Mahan with a friend went to the cafe fir dinner. Hay ng craving for a choice steak, he ordered one of the pun bosom" variety. While in the full enjoyment of the tender and lus- eious meat Mahan's molars struck something round> and hard. Instant ly he got the impression that the beef had besn killed with birdshot.
 What silly way to Il a beef. he said as he took the small pellet from the tip of his tongue. Looking at it more closely. he saw that 1t was tiny round pearl, such as are frequently found in biyalves.
 Guess Arizona is the only spot on earth where the COW bear pearls" said Mahan as he carefully stored the stone away in his pocket.

 CITY JUDGE
Candidates Waging Zeaious Campaign For Emoluments of New 0ffice-SpecuIation As to the Outcome

The plans of the city council are not for the vulgar herd-at lsast un- Ill they are ready to diyulge them. But enc can have ideas, and this privilege has been used in speculating on tse outcome of the contest for the appointment to that tiular cffice- city pole judge. With its munif- cent salary of $50 m-n'h and f. una. no room r nt. it has beccme the 'n- spiration of zeal and energy worthy of a better cause. Therefore the question as to who saal hold the morning sessions in the city hall is enc of no idle moment.
 Lem Shsttuck is the limit to spec ulat'on. Were it known who is the second choice Of that finaneier, citi- zen and TOnteian. there are those who think they could name the man 10 whom the plum will fall. One who is wise In his own eonce't. and yet who may know waereof he speaks, Favs t'e situation lines up something like this: For Brown. L.. C. Shat tuck: for Murray. BarkdolI and Moon; for Hogan, Haine, Alsn aud Edwards. If Pr-wn should be drop ped and Shattuek voted for Hogan. under the conditions named, the for msr justice of the peace would be it"
 But suppose under tae same condi- tiCns. quoth tle speculatcr, Shattuck shCu'd cast his vote for Murray. The intereting result would be a tie be- tween him and Hogan. Then his honor, the mayor, George Neala, would be in a position to name the city judge.
