He Was Up Against
 the Real Thing

Stepping over in the attitude O Aladdin searching for the crack in thu rocks which lead to his immortal tai low dip, we answered in e supulchra whisper, "I am afraid am threatened with pneumonia.
 That settled It. "Go ye to bed im- n:ediateiy," commanded our lsndlady It was no use to explain that We thought it was not serious. It was "go to bed and sthsy there, and when ye are in bed call for me and will fix yeez."
 We'll, we went to bed, and we got tucked in, our lsndlady came in with a mustard plaster as big ss the State of Texas. She spread it over our dor'c chest. She piled fannels on that, she plscidly laid four hot stove lids like 60 much mosaic on that, she put two ho fat irons at our feet, she spread every quilt in the house on us, and sent down town for more, she funnelled s quart and & hsit of hot lemonade dot gast the stuff into our anatomy, and che left us, practically buried alive, to suffer the tortures of those who have offended the gods.
 The agony of that experience, ink, nor language nor kodak will never be able to express. For 24 long hours, We bad nothing to do but lie there, suffer and brood over our sins. We could think back to the time before God dug the Hssssyamp', and the chain of transgressions appalled, to us, and then we thought of the days when mother used to put us to bed in the day time, and it almost matched re- sentiment against her ssintly mem- ory.
 But we brought it all on ourseli our landlaGy was not at fault, but permit us to suggest that when we emerged from that mundane inferno, we made up our mind that the mex. rime we were "threateued with pneumonia" we would keep it to our alarmed fool self.

LEGISLATURE MAY ACT
Textbook Publishers Who 0iscrimin- ate Against Arizona May Hear
 Something Drop

An educational agitation now in progress in Chicago is likely to be transferred to the Arizona legislature as soon ss it convenes. The school authorities of Chicago are about to throw out one oi the text books in use there, not because Of any weak. ness of the textbook itself but on account of the manner of its distribu- ton. The wholesale price of the book i1 Chicago is AL cents and the retail p. ice is 45 cents. On the face of it these figures do not seem exorbitsnt, but it happened that across the line in Indiana the wholesale price of the book is 254 cents, while the retail price Is 30 cents.
 The same textbook has been adopt ed for the schools of this territory, and the retail price of it is B cents.
 Here is difference of cost between Indiana and Arizona that cannot be laid on the railroads.

 It. is said the case will be taken to the supreme court the United States by the csttlemen.
