To protect the inner tube from pune
lures place a strip of heavy felt about
one-half inch thick between the outer
case and the inner tube. The felt should
be wide enough to project slightly beyond
the tread of the tire and should be
cemented in the center with a good quail
ity of cement in order TO secure proper
adhesion to the lining of the ia brio OF the
case. The edges. however, should be left
free. The felt after being III use some
time becomes very compact and affords
an excellent protection for the inner tube
from tacks and other sharp substances.
When replacing tire tubes a very neat
and handy way to lubricate them is to

 Year in Penitentiary

Kansas City, June Rochester M. Hamsher, in the Federal court here, pleaded guilty to a charge of signing his wife's name to love letters which he wrote to Neil Johnson, wealthy man of Atchison, Kan, and he was sentenced to a year in jail.
 The postoffice department could have made no objection to the letters if Hamsher had not been so mercenary in his mo- tives. "Please send S1O by re- turn mail-here are a million kisses for you'' that was the objectionable part of the letters in the eyes of the officials,
 The correspondence lasted six months and Johnson was mulct- ed of nearly $500 before he was aware of the deception and put the case before the postoffice authorities. Hemsher's wife knew nothing of the affair until her husband was exposed.

Kansas French in
 Paris Stunts Town

Independence, Kan, June 20.-The the fued that has been agitating In- dependence for moro than ten years, depressing the city socially, financially and otherwise, while other Kansas towns in the gas belt have grown into booming, thriving municipalities, has at last been solved. The trouble all arose over the gender of French noun, while the wives of two prominent h. dependence bankers were doing the Continent. Years ago-twelve, to be explicit-Mrs. George I. Guernsey and Mrs. Adolph c. Stich went abroad for for the summer. When they reached their hotel in Paris it was with feel ing of confidence that Mrs. Guernsey directed the porter to carry 'la" bag gage to their rooms.
 My dear," Mrs. Stich gently cor rected, "you should say 1e baggage; la you know, is feminine, and 'le' baggage is masculine. Don't you remember the rule?'
 Now, Mrs. Guernsey didn't remember any such rule, and besides, she was tired and hungry and perhaps little bit peevish. And there was the porter standing there, and goodness only knows what he might have been think ing! So Mrs. Guernsey said only what was natural and human under the cir cumstances, and that was that she would be immensely gratified if Mrs. Stich would mind her own business.
 That was all. The friends turned their backs on each other.
 | Mrs. Guernsey had 'la" baggage taken to her room and Mrs. Stich had "le" baggage taken to hers. The two women returned on different steamers, and the day they reached Independence on different trains the war began which has divided the town.
 Mrs. Guernsey dropped out of every club of which Mrs. Stich was Q mem- Der, and Mrs. Stich struck from her visiting list the name of every hostess who entertained Mrs. Guernsey.
 The business relations of the bankers ceased. Mir. Guernsey withdrew from every local enterprise in which Mir. Stick was interested, and the latter countered by withdrawing the credit of of every business man who had his name on the Commercial Banks books.
 Business men say that if it were not for ,he falling out of these two women, Independence would be to-day a town of 3O,OOO instead of one of half that ppmh hon

Arizona History

fifth Legislature, with a reHlizat-
ion of the existing and growing
need for the systematic collection,
compilation and preparation for
publication of the data cOmpris-
ing Arizona's history, created the
office of Arizona Historian. To
myself fell the honor of inaugur-
ating the work comprebended by
the legisletive act, and | have en-
tered upon the discharge of my
duties with the ardOr and enthuS-
iasm of one who believes that his
field is in many respects the most
fruitful of historic treasure OF all
the Unions subdivisions. Almost
nothing has been written of the
tragic Incidents which SO thickly
punCtuated the early years OF
Arizona's possession by the
Americans, and what has been
written is of so fragmentary, un-
certain and inaccurate charac-
ter as to be practically or entire
ly worthless from historical
standpoint. Except by the few
remaining old-timers, whose
heads have grown white and
whose steps feeble in the service
of reclaiming Arizona from land
of savagery and non-productive-
ness, and perhaps by an inconsid
cradle number ofeducators, there
is a deplorable absence OF acquain
tance with Arizona history
l am sure you will agree that
the existence Impractical means of
securing this important knowled
ge would greatly increase the
pride the people of Arizon have in
their Territory's development
enhance the patriotism already
possessed by her citizens to
marked degree, add to our school
curriculum a study from which
few pupils would wish to escape,
and afford for young and old
source of profitable and enchant-
ing entertainment scarcely equal
led by the works OF heroic fiction.
It's an immense work that has
been assigned me. and it will call
not only for the exercise OF all the
energy OF mind and body that |
may possess, but for the assist
ance of all who are interested in
the subject
The greatest difficulty in gain
ing information is to learn where
it may be secured accurately The
balance depends on the energy of
the gatherer and his ability to
gain essential details. BY help
ing me to these sources ofintorm-
alton in your locality and field,
as well as by stimulating enthus-
iasm for the work which has been
undertaken, YOU can contribute
a support to the Historian to be
secured IN no other way. / SIM
