 A STREET PARADE-The Sells Floto show did not have the only street parade in Phoenix yesterday. A man with more nerve than caution passed up and down the sidewalk carrying d festive looking Gila monster in his hand swhich he cheerfully exhibited to all passersby whom he could induce to stand still long enough to take a good look. He grasped the varmint or reptile by the neck just behind the jaws. between his thumb and fore finger. but more timorOus observers could scarcely see the need of taking chances on the monster Squirming loose and sinking his fangs into his captor's hands. It was one of those little jokes that are fine only as long as everything goes right
 ODD FELLOWS DEPART-The de- parting trains yesterday were well filled with odd Fellows and Rebekahs returning home from attendance at the grand lodge sessions. A few will remain over until today. Many put in a good part of yesterday riding around the city and valley and noting it's won ders sorne for the first time and oth- CTS taking account of the rapid de- velopment of things since their last former visit. The sessions were en- tirely successful, harmonious. and were probably the most largely attended that the order has ever held.

Cow peas are said to be the most wonderful soil renovator available in these parts. They replenish the nitrogen supply and thus enrich the soil. while at the same time one may as an after crop. raise crop of hay that is said to make as fine feed as alfalfa and produce just as heavy a tonnage. J. H. Fleming has contracted with many farmers for seed for later planting and says former eX- periments have been decidedly satis- factory. while the orders for seed for this years planting are greatly in eX- cess of last year and a vastly large acreage will be sown. The peas are recommended as an excellent crop for planting in midsummer between the rows of citrus trees, furnishing the soil with those qualities the trees exhaust. besides the hay that may be made.

Among the stars not previously referred to in the Capitol team practice is Walter Ingalls,. who is entitled to honorable mention for dark streak under his left eye, acquired in stopping hot one with his cheek. which is not so plentiful nor so tough as he thought it was.
