A GERMAN WANTS A WIFE.

pInn industrious German advetiSeS in this paper for
wife.
He is man who apparently has seen military SERVICE
and knows what he wants.
He does not object to widow and would even take up
with child or two.
OF course he wants German wife, and woman who
is not afraid to work.
His idea of founding home is based on industry and
not matter of sentiment,
He expresses an idea that is very much needed to be i'm
pressed In these days.
That is that industry the foundation of the home and
society and not culture
The college dude who rolls up his pants six inches at the
bottom is delightful to look at.
His tomato can hat on corner of his head is also cal
cuIated to delight the heart of any maiden,
But that honest German, or any aboring man or me-
chanlC will make better bread proWder.

Strange Birds at Darby

DARBY, Pa., May 2O.-Uttering strange cries flock of nearly thirty of unknown species, nearly as large as full grown ducks, flew over Darby creek the other day, put to flight crows, robins, pigeons and even sparrows, and swooped down on chicken yards and investigated pigeon cotes. Bird shot fired point blank at some of the birds rolled from the breast feathers of the birds as if turned by armor plate. George Crumback tumbled one bird over twice, but when he went to pick it up the bird arose and flew away apparently uninjured.
 The birds had bills of unusual length and large saw-like teeth. They are be lieved to be the same kind of birds a' those that attracted so much attention last Sunday at Lansdowne by sweeping down on chicken yards and attempting to carry away the fowls. One of the birds was taken captive and another was wounded with rife ball.

COMEDY AT MAJESTIC

The Lee Comedy Players opened their eighteenth week at the Majestic last evening to two large audiences.
 Another double bill was presented and of the two it would be hard to say which was the funniest.
 "A Jolly Night s Adventure' is a good clean comedy and the entire com pany was well cast. The closing play. "Ma, Look at Him." kept the audi ence in an uproar from the time the curtain went up until the close.
 Mir. Lee is seen as the silly kid and it is one of the best things he has done since coming to Globe. His every ap- pearance brought forth roars of laugh. ter. Flournoy played his part well. The Misses Barbier, Thornton and Kel. sey were well cast.
 The motion picture, Settlement Workers' is exceptionally good and was roundly applauded.
 Little Madeline Lee won new laurels by singing "The Girl of the Golden West" in excellent voice. Some gold amateur acts are promised for tonight and it is said the competition for the first prize will be keen.

rHoRNs AND ORANGE BLOSSOMS

On account of the change of bill not getting in yesterday mornings s paper, great many people thought "The Devil'' was to be repeated at Dream land last night, and the result was, only small house greeted the offer of "Thorns and Orange Blossoms. How ever, those who attended were well pleased with the bill, and were very enthusiastic in their praises of the splendid emotional acting of Miss Blanche Bryan, also of the comedy part of the bill, as presented by Morrie Streeter, in the part of Tommy Swift the commercial traveller.
 Miss Heidelle, as Monica Rivers, ap peared to better advantage than in her previous efforts, while Miss Nettie Eos ter, Herbert Carlyle, Frank Weeks and Bert Russell, were all very able in the interpretation of their parts.
 Ernest Winters, as Lord Randolph Rivers, was true to life, and very realistic as the victim of a terrible mis take.
 This sad but intensely interesting play should draw large house tonight as this is the last production, and ev' cry one who has read the book, should see the play.

Dreamlsss Sleep.

Occasionally have met people who have insisted that they do not know what 1t means to dream. To them sleep comes like the pail of death. en- veloping them so completely as to en- tirely extinguish the consciousness for the time being. But. strangely enough, I have found that these individuals do not seem to appreciate this blessing of undisturbed repose. Instead. they feel that in some way they are being cheated out of something that belongs to them. Like the Scotch >plowboy, they protest at never being able to "enjoy" nights sleep, because their headno sooner touches the pillow than it is time for them to get up again. Bohemian Magazine.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Everybody with taste for pastry or weakness for sweets will hail with joy the ex' planation of Smith Ely, mayor of New York city in 1S77-7S, and now S5 years old, as to his prolonged life.
 "Sweets did it, says MT. Ely in an article. contributed to the Medico Legal Journal. "I don't know that this diet of sweets has benefited my disposition but it has given me strength to undergo tho nervous strain and excitement of . political career in Albany, Washington and New York that would have short ened the existence of the beef eater.
 My parents, like many others, says MT. Ely, "thought that sweets of any sort were unwholesome for chil dren, and I enjoyed such things in my childhood only within strict limitations Consequently, when I attained the age of Is and found employment down town, with permission to dine as pleased, I made up for lost time. My regular meal for three or four months consisted of three or four pieces of bakers pie. At all periods of my life the dessert has almost invariably been the better part of the meal

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2O.-Little Gladys Schultz of Bonneville, Ind, has pet eat of which she is very fond which always is at her feet or near her. Miss Gladys is about ten years old, and is very assiduous in practicing her music lessons on the piano when she is not in school.
 While this is going on the pet eat, Cottie, is either at her side or purring around at her feet. It seems to like the idea of music, and will ofttimes sit with undivided attention on chair by the girl s side watching the movements of the girls fingers across the key. board.
 After leaving the room few days ago with the cat sitting on the chair, Gladys came back shortly to find Cot tie sitting on the piano stool trying to initiate her example and play on the instrument. The cat would strike the keys with her paws, and seemed delight ed at the offect of the tones produced, repeating it several times to the delight of Mrs. Schultz and Gladys, who were looking on. Since that time it has be. come frequent occurrence for Cottie to climb on the piano stool and give vent to her feelings in music.

ARIZONA RANCHMEN FAT OTHER FOOD
 THAN BEANS
ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION AS TO WAY ARIzoNANs LIVE IS
 DIssIPATED

People outside of Arizona entertain the belief that in mining camps and on stock ranches the principals and employees live on bacon and beans jerked beef, tortillas and the like. Even some Arizonans have fallen into the rut, and actually believe as do the eastern tenderfoot.
 Joe Froemel of Tucson, who has been making trip through Cochise and Graham counties, said the Gila valley was looking fine, finer than he had ever seen that section appear. He visited the Dos Cabezas section and found families living there in peace and comfort and enjoying the choicest products of the farm. The water is excellent on the mountains.
 Down in the valley the bacon, ham and eggs, and onions, Mir. Froemel said, are of the best, nothing like those in Tucson. The eggs were so good that he brought home well filled sack. It was the same at all ranches visited and much more could be said of them North of Wilcox the best equipped ranch in Arizona is the Sierra Bonita, in charge of the sons of the late Colonel II. c. Hooker, who died about two years ago in Los Angeles.
 "'Folks should visit the ranches and see for themselves. That is what I did, said Mir. Froemel, who has lived on West Franklin street for number of years and is engaged in business here. Tucson Star.
