Mexican Runs a Doe Ranch.

Conducting a dog ranch may not be
regarded generally as a profitable
business, but nevertheless there is
one man out in Sulphur Springs val
ley who makes good living at it.
He is Mexican and herded together
on his plot of properly over one hun
dred CANNES of various breeds, from
setter to common yaller dogs without
a pedigree. He raises them for com
mercial purposes, those of better
breed being sold to any chance
traveller who may happen through
and desire one of then. On the other
hand, those of common extraction
are raised merely for their hides,
and once or twice year bunch OF
them are killed, skinned and their
hides shipped to eastern markets;
where they bring a good price.

Ab)ut the richest thing we have
heard lately, and most every tender
foot brings a new one, is the young
man from Texas who no doubt, was
reared on one of those cotton planta
tioas, on arriving in Duncan and be
coming somewhat acquainted with
QUE numerous and jolly cowboys and,
to be sure thinking from the con-
versltious with tn I'm that the "cow"
business was about all that was going
on in. Arizona, and after arriving at
what he thought would be an iutelli-

Prescott Courier is Broke.

Prescott.-By fling an attachment
suit against themselves, Stanley H.
Watson and Reese M. Ling have
forced the suspension of their own
evening paper, the Prescott Courier.
Apparently Watson and Ling have
adopted a unique method of getting
out of the newspaper business.
Watson was manager of the Cour-
ier and Ling was secretary of the
Courier Publishing company. They
practically owned the paper.
Ling, as attorney for Watson, filed
suit for s., 130 against the Courier
company. 1t was alleged in the
complaint that this sum was due
Watson for his services. The filing
of this suit threw the Courier plant
into the hands of the sheriff.
1t is understood that Ling and
Watson will wait a week or six
months, until the legal complications
are cleared up, and then start into
business again with a clean bill. using
the Courier plant.

pudd' nhsad Wilson's Maxims.
BY Mark Twain.

In the first place God made idiots
this was for practice. Then he made
school boards.
In craftsmanship get the formaIi-
ties right; never mind about the
moralities.
There isn't parallel of latitude
but thinks it would have been the
equator if it had had its rights.
There is no character, howsoeyer
good and fine, but it can be destroyed
by ridicule, howsoever poor and wit
less. Observe the ass, for instance.
His character is about perfect, he is
the choicest spirit among all the
humber animals, yet see what ridi-
cule has brought him to. Instead of
feeling complimented when we are
called an ass, we are left in doubt.
Tell the truth or trump-but get
the trick.
Adam was human-this explains it
all. He did not want the apple for
the apples sake, he wanted it only
because it was forbidden. The mis-
take was in not forbidding the serpent;
then he would have eaten the SER
pent.
Adam and Eve had many advan-
tages, but the principal one was that
they escaped teething.
There is this trouble about special
providences, namely: There is SO
often a doubt as to which party was
intended to be the beneficiary. In
the case of the children, the bears
and the prophet, the bears got more
real satisfaction out of the episode
than the prophet did; because they
got the children.
Let us endeavor to so live that
when we come to die, even the under
taker will be sorry.
Why is it we rejoice at birth and
grieve at a funeral? 1t is because
we are not the person involved.
October: This is one of the
peculiarly dangerous months to
speculate in stocks. The others
are July. January, September, April,
November, May, March, June, De-
cember, February and August.

disagreeable people who know have

THREE REPORTS BY =.
PROBE. COMMITTEE
Probable Outcome of. .BalinQer.
Pinchot Inquiry.

Washington, April 1.-Although the
Joint committee that Is now making
an inquiry into the Ballinger-Pinchot
affair has been laboring for several
months and may not conclude it's
work until some time next winter it
is already apparent that when the
committee comes to act it will submit
three reports to congress, as follows:
"First-According to general expec-
tations the majority of the Republic
ans will report that nothing has been
disclosed that in any way reflects up
on the integrity of Richard A. Balm
ger or any official of the interior de-
partment.
"Second-The Democratic members
Of the committee are expected to find
that while neither Mr.. Ballinger nor
any of his associates have been guilty
of Irregularities it is plain that the Sec
rotary of the interior is not in SYM
pathy with the progressive movement
for the conservation of natural re-
sources.
"Third-Representative Madison Of
Kansas, a Republican, will file re-
port of his own, in which he will agree
with his colleagues that the evidence
does not disclose Irregularities but
that it does show conclusively that
Mr.. Ballinger is not enthusiastic over
conservation, and that his record dem.
onstrates that he might have been
more punctilious in his dealings with
the land Office, of which he was for
,merly the head, during the time elaps-
ing between his retirement from the
office of land commissioner and his ap-
pointment as secretary of the interior
in the Taft cabinet"
When these reports have been COM
pleted they will be submitted to the
house and the senate. It will then be
up to congress to determine which
one of them shall be approved. 20

conceal his identity and converssd

not make known his definite inten-
lions regarding a meeting with Mr..

were in close touch with him affirmed
that they had gained the impression

but Wolter left them as soon as he
began associating with youths who
were in the white slave business.
Like all of the other youths In the
degrading traffic Wolter had no re-
gard for any woman of any class.
Most of the girls he had met had sue
oumbed to his power and he held the
moral resisting force of woman as
very low. He insulted the sister Of
his victim after the murder.
Only a few hundred youths with as
little conscience and as much cunning
as Wolter might ruin thousands of
homes in the United States within the
course of year. And undoubtedly
there are scores of them at their dia-
bolical work in every city2in the. coun-

tlms-their lives in dingy rooms, the
rear booths of saloons, the sidewalks
and finally the gutters-is taken into
consideration the fate Of Ruth Wheel

WE'RE COUNTRY JACKS.

Under the caption, do You Want
a New York Address," the Mail
Order Journal, styling itself The
American Magazine of Advertising"
tells of of plan to deceive the
people who patronize the mail order
house instead of their home mer-
chant. The Journal, which is pub
lished in Chicago, claims to be the
mouthpiece of the mail order houses.
AS showing how these mail order
houses look on their patrons, the
article on the scheme under which
New York addresses may be obtained
is appended.
1t ought to be exhilarating at
this season for the people who do
not live in Chicago or New York
to know that they are referred to as
country jacks" in the language of
the mouthpiece of the houses to
which they send their good money,
while depriving the home business
men of the benefit of the
shopping they have to do. The fact
that they patronize these houses in
preference to their home stores may
make of the country jacks" but
even if true, the appellation is not
one calculated to inspire pride in
the heart of the person to whom
applied. Here is what the Mail
Order Journal has to say of the
country jacks"
