Good Humor and Checrfulness From

Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and

sianificance in Names.

In an Illinois town a workingman
having been informed that a sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex'
claimed: Sufficient" and his neigh
bors, referring to his having given
that name-Suficient-to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles a cas- nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune,
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stors
brought a tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an oft
told story was a Chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head, she received the name, but for
suphony's sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was
called Marion.

According to a report read at the
annual convention of the United
States League of Building and Loan
Associations, held in Philadelphia re-
Gently. there are $3.50 local building
and loan associations in the United
States, with a total membership of
1,920,557 and assets of $7S4175,7 1873,
Bradstreet's says. This is an increase
in membership over last year of 81

721,57O, and of this amount $194085.-
40 was loaned out on mortgages. as
against S2O9, 925.072 in the preceding
year Some idea of the economical
manner in which these associations
are conducted may be gained when it
is stated that the total expense Of op-

was equal TO seyen-tenths of one per

loKE TURNED ON FREDERICK
How the King Of Prussia Was Out
Witted by the cleverness
Of a Courier.

1t is related of Frederick the Sec.
ond, king Of Prussia, that he one day
made a present OF a golden snuff box
to one of his counts When the lat
ter. opened the lid he found the pic
ture OF an ass painted upon the under
side OF it, Though he scarcely
relished the kings joke, he said moth
ing a the time, but as soon as he
quilted the kings presence he sent
one of his Wallets with the snuff box
to the city, and gave instructions tina
the picture Of the ass was to be
painted out, and a portrait Of the
king put in its place.
A few days later a distinguished
company dined with the king. The
count was one OF the guests, and after
Z time he produced his snuff box and
pretended &c examine it with the air
OF a man who was proud to have re
ceived such gift from the king The
latter, wishing to enjoy a little amuse-
ment at the counts expense, men
toned to the duchess Of Brunswick
that he had made a present of the
box to the count on the preceding
day She desired to inspect it, and
when the box was handed to her she
opened the lid, and looking inside
cried in raptures: Perfect The
likeness IS charming. 1t is one Of the
best Portraits Of you that have ever
seen.
She handed the box to the person
aext 10 her, who was equally
charmed With the likeness. From one
TO another the box was PASSED, and I
all testified to the excellent resem.
blance which the picture bore to the
king The king, thinking that the ass
mead was still to be seen on the snuff
box, felt exceedingly embarrassed;
but at last the snuff box, having made
the tour OF the table. came to his 4
hands and the first glance showed
him how cleyerly the count had an
-icilated his little joke and turned ii
against him.

WRESTLERS SIGN UP F0R SECOND G0
 ON MAT
Rocker and Christensen to Meet Again Next Sat
 urday Night

After negotiations for the greater part of two days, Al Christensen and Leo Rocker, who appeared ip good wrestling match at the Martin theater Thursday night, last night signed ar ticles for a second match, to take place next Saturday night.
 The chief cause for contention was Christensen s demand that he be al. lowed to bandage his right arm, which was injured in Thursday night $ match. Rocker interposed strenuous objections to this demand, but last night he con- sented to this clause of the articles and signed up for the match.
 The coming contest will be for $lO0 a side, the gate receipts to be split 60 and 40 per cent to the winner and loser.
 Thursday night s match gave general satisfaction, in spite of the fact that Christensen injured his arm and was forced to give up the contest, and the coming match should prove big draw ing card.
 The articles of agreement are as fol lows:
 "Articles of agreement entered into this day, May IA, 1910, between Al Christensen and Leo Rocker.
 "The party of the first part agrees to wrestle party of che second part the best two out of three falls, catch as catch can, for $l00 as side bet, winner to take all. ulr. ha
 "The party of the first part agrees to allow the party of the second part to bandage his right arm, which was injured in the last match.
 ''It is mutually agreed by both par ties that the strangle hol dis barred.
 ''It is mutually agreed between both parties that the winner takes 60 per cent of the gate and the loser 40 per cent of the gate. y

STORE GOES
 IN MORNING BLAZE

Fire of which the origin is mys- tery, destroyed the paint store of J. c. McElroy, at Hill and Sycamore streets at o clock yesterday morning, causing loss estimated at over $6,O00.
 The fire was discovered by an em- ployee and had apparently started short ly before his arrival. The fire depart ment was called out at once and made hard fight against the flames, but the infammable nature of the paints and oil stored in the place made it impos- sible for the fire boys to do more than prevent the fire from spreading to ad- joining buildings.
 The building, valued at about $1,000, was practically destroyed, the paint and wall paper stock of J. c. McElroy valued at about 5000 being completely ruined.
 Insurance to the extent of about $4,- 900 was carried on the stock of paints and wall paper, the building, owned by MT. McElroy, being partially covered.

REFUSES ID REFUND TAXES ID
 RA|LR0AOERS
Assessor Rules That Order from Court Would Be
 Necessary

That, under the present conditions, no refund can be made on county road tax collected from residents of this city is the substance of communication sent to George A. Mauk, agent of the Ari- zOna Eastern railroad, yesterday, by Deputy Assessor Davidson in response to request from MT. Mauk that such refund be made.
 According to the rather tangled con- dition of the territorial road and tax laws, it was apparently necessary for residents of this city to pay county road tax, as we'll as city street tax, accord ing to the original interpretation of Attorney General John B. Wright. Re- gently what is apparently reverse in depreciation of the statute has been made, in which it is held that residents of cities are not required to pay both county and city road tax. It was upon this ground that MT. Mauk made re- quest for a refund.
 In his communication Mir. Davidson stated that regardless of what the in depreciation of the attorney general might be no refund could be made with out an order from the court, as all taxes collected to date have been turned over to the country treasurer.
 "While we do not desire to act ar bitrarily, or to do anything unfair, l see no possible chance for refunding county road tax to the employees of the Arizona Eastern, said Deputy As sessor Davidson yesterday. "In the first place, the assessor is merely an ex- officio tax collector, without authority to make such refund and in the second place, all money collected has been placed in the hands of the county treas, urer.
 CT have referred this matter to the district attorney, in the absence of MT. Merritt, and am acting on his ad- vice as well as what feel would be MT, Merritt's attitude if he were in this city"
 It is probable that friendly suit against the county will be filed to se- cure the tax refund, within short time.
