Lincoln Stuck to His Selection Of a
Hospital Chaplain.

stSSFihat
The nomination of Mr.. Shrigley Of
Philadelphia, Universalist, for the
position of chaplain for the hospital
was not met with favor on all sides,
and q delegation Of protestants went
to Washington to see President Lin
coin on the subject. The following in
terview was the result:
eve have called, Mr.. President, to
confer with you regarding the appoint
mens of Mr.. Shrigley of Philadelphia
as hospital chaplain"
"Oh, yes," replied the president IL
have sent his name to the senate, and
he will no doubt be confirmed at an
early date"
One Of the young men replied, 1--WE
have not come to ask for the appoint
ment, but to solicit you to withdraw
the nomination"
"Ah." said Lincoln, that alters the
case. But on what grounds do you
wish the nomination withdrawn"
The answer was, "Mr. Shrigley Is
not sound in his theological opinions" !"
The president inquired, "On what
questions is the gentleman unsoundT'
"He does not believe in endless pun
ishment. Not only so, sir, but he be-
lieves that even the rebels themselves
will be finally saved" was the reply.
"Is that so?' inquired the president
The members of the committee re-
sponded, Eyes, SIR"
swell, gentlemen, If that is so and
there is any way under heaven where
by the rebels can be saved, then, for
Gods sake and their sakes, let the man
be appointed"
Mr.. Shrigley was appointed and serv-
ed until the end of the war.-Boston

When an Ostrich Kicks.

"The only safe place in the neighbor-
hood Of kicking ostrich is just be-
hind it." said zoo keeper. "An ostrich
can kick mule to death, but its kicks
are delivered at an angle Of 40 degrees.
Within those 45 degrees, right abaft
the 'pope's nose of the bird, there Is
absolute safety. On the ostrich farms
Of California, when the herds are being
driven, you will always see the ostrich
boys holding on to the tails Of bad
kickers. The kickers tear along, and
their scaly legs shoot out like piston
rods, but the boys in the shelter of the
pope's nose are safe."-New Orleans

THE GREAT BOMBARDMENT.

The regions Of space beyond our
planet are filled with flying fragments.
Some meet the earth in It's onward
rush; others. having attained incon-
ceivable velocity, overtake and crash
into the whirling sphere with loud det-

struction in Its molecular armor or
perhaps ricochetting from 1t again into
the unknown. Some come singly, va
grant fragments from the infinity of
space; others fall In showers, like gold
en- rain, all constituting q lombard

1t has been estimated that every
twenty-four hours the earth or it's at
mosphere is struck by 400,000,000 mis-.
siles Of iron or stone, ranging from an
ounce up to tons in weight. Every
month there rush upon the flying globe
at least 12,0OO,000,000 iron and stone
fragments, which, with lurid accompa-

with a possible velocity of thirty or
forty miles per second and, like moths,

to their destruction by its fatal attrac-

piled up and compressed ahead Of them

Hunting Bears With a Camera.

Ingenuity and money both go to the making of moving picture films and frequently an undertaking of this sort calls for courage as well. Out in Colorado last week an actual bear hunt took place in front of camera, that it may be subsequently, witnessed by persons who are interested in such amusements. First the bears were found and a guard was stationed about the thicket in which they were coralled. Then a blazed trail was made for the hunters, and an open space cut out for the man with the machine. When all was ready the hunters and the dogs drove the bears out of the thicket into the open and the "fnish fight" took place there while the moving picture nan ground out his flm,

Will TabuIate Arizona Corporations.

The first step on the part of the government to collect a tax from the enormous number of corporations who have filed articles and are doing business in Arizona was taken last week when Deputy Collectors T. c. Mcconnell for New Mexico and F. B. Crandall for Arizona came to Phoe- nix for the purpose of making a tab ulated list of the corporations and furnishing the required data to the Washington internal revenue office. The work will proba ply require sev- eral months. The corporation tax law went into effect August 5, and the government will lose little time in becoming thoroughly cognizant with the business transacted by the corporations of the country, With the single exception of New Jersey more corporation papers are filed an- nually in Arizona than in any of the other commonwealths. The general laxity of the corporation laws of the territory and the small fee charged has made this territory one of the most desirable, from the standpoint of the organizers of the company, for it's incorporation. It is estimated by Messrs. Mcconnell and Crandall that there are close to 50,000 cor porations.-Republic

Costly Bank Stock.

T. N. Lakin, as receiver of the First National Bank of Bisbee, has brought suit in the district court of Cochise county against w. w. Whaley for debt in the sum of $S, 800 and costs of suit. The complaint al- leges that the defendant was one of the stockholders ot the bank and had at the time Of failure eighty-five shares of stock. An order was made on March 24, 1908, that each share of stock be assessed its full value or S10O per share, making his proportion $S, 800. Demand had been made on him for the same and that he had failed to contribute the amount and that it was still due the bank.
 Another suit was also filed by the receiver against w. W. Whaley and the firm of w. w. Whaley and com pany, for debt in the sum of 8,970 with interest at per cent per month from the l7th day of September, 1908. The complaint alleges that in Novem- Der, 1907, the defendants gave the bank their note in the sum of Sc, ,500 due six months after date with inter est at2 per cent per month, and ten per cent to be added in event that suit was brought 10 collect the same. The interest aud principal at the present time amount to SS, 97O and the complaint asks for judgment in that amount with costs, etc.-Review.

Postal Card Fad.

We common people do use few postal cards annually. Uncle Sam is just now considering a contract for 3,6OO,OOO, ,OOO ostal cards to be sold during the next four years-a matter of 9O,OOO. 900 a year. These will cost the government SS00,000 and the people will pay S36, 6,0O0,0OO for them, which also includes the cost of delivering. Put this does not comprise the postal card output. We are now annually buying from Germany alone 700, ,O00, ,000 postal cards, and also sev- eral million from France and other European nations. But Germany has thus far had a Cinch on the colored postal card trade. for even publish CTS, instead of doing their own print ing and lithographing, have found it more profitable to place orders di- rect with German houses. However, the new tariff bill puts tax of a quarter of a cent on the cheaper foreign qualities, and a higher rate on the more expensive and artistic ones, in the expectation that business will hereafter be done by American houses. It is safe to say that Amer jeans buy 2,5OO, O,OOO postal cards a year-twenty to twenty-five to each man, woman and child in the country. More than half of these are of the picture variety. But suppose Uncle Sam should invade the picture postal card field? What howl would go pp from the picture rostal card makers. sr0lt Ne WIS.
