JOKE CLAIMED TO BE
OLDEST IN THE WORLD.

1t will be difficult to discover an
older practical Joke than that Of the
coppersmith and the maker of braxen
images for the temple OF Osiris. which
is embodied in Egyptian Inscriptions
dating from the reign OF Menes, found:

ords. there dwelt between these TIVE
craftsmen quiet man whose desire
was for peace and who was sadly dis

on by his busy neighbors. He there

what sum they would changc their
dwellings. This they did. Each cal

PRESIDENT CHANGES AREA OF NATIONAL
 FOREST
Large Tracts of Land Thrown Open for Entry to Settlers in
 the New States.

Washington, D. C., July 29.- The President has signed a proc lamation adding 3O,56O acres to, and at the same time elini- mating 57,297 acres from, the ChIricahua National Forest, Ari- zona and New Mexico. These changes are the result of a care ful examination made by the Secretary of Agriculture last sum- mer, which showed that the areas excluded are not needed for forest or watershed protection.
 The most important of these changes IS the elimination of a large area. consisting for the most part of grass land, on the southern and eastern boundar- ies of New Mexico division, which was formerly known as the Peloncillo National Forest. This will leave Sanders Pass and the surrounding territory on the slope of the Animas range entire ly outside of the Forest lines. Smaller eliminations of non-for- est lands are also made from the Chiricahua and Peloncillo Givi- SiOnS.
 The additions comprise num- Der of areas of juniper and pinon scattered along the exterior bounderies of the Chiricahua, Peloncilio, and Dragoon divi- uions. The latter division by the recent proclamations has been transferred from the Coro- nado to the Chir1cahua Forest.
 The unappropriated portions of the lands eliminated by this proclamation will be restored to settlement and entry after hay ing been advertised in the local papers by the Secretary of the Interior.

Nursing a War Scare.

"Who prepared the speech de- livered at the last session ofCon- gress oy Mir. McLachlin of Cali fornia, on the unpreparedness of the country of war;" asked a prominent retired army officer who dropped into headquarters last week.
 No one being able, seemingly. to tel him, he went on: "It cer- tainly has the indorsement of the Service, anyway. And 1 have heard that General Blank wrote it. I tell you, it is a docu- ment that covers the field thor oughly, and I doubt if any man not thoroughly conversant with the inner workings of the Army and Navy general boards, could have prepared that document. 1t is what army and navy men have known, in a general way, for a long time"
 The speech by the California congressman, it is understood, was prepared upon data furnish ed by the publicity bureau of the Army and Navy. It tells how easily a foreign foe could occupy either the Atlantic or the Pacific coast of this country in a very shows time. The object of the speech was to get Congress to ask for a long report which the military authorities have ready to give, but which they could rot present without being asked to do so. Of course, one object is to get bigger appropriations for the National Defense. The public in general has q feeling that too much money is being spent on the army and navy now, and it is thought that . little education will be necessary to get Congress to loosen up tn, purse strings and grant more money for men officers, fortifica tions and modern guns.

Change in Registered Mail.

Beginning July 16 the post office department inaugurated an entirely new system of hand ling registered mail matter and ore that is likely to prove some what troublesome, if not finally unpopular.
 In the future if one who mails d registered letter or package wishes a receipt returned to him showing delivery, he must en- dorse his desire on the wrapper ;,f the mail matter.
 The words Receipt desired" have been suggested by the de partment as being the most ac- ceptable for this purpose. Pack ages and letters failing to have this endorsement will be deliver ed without receipt being taken, consequently no receipt can be returned to the sender.
 For the present clerks taking registered mail will ask the send CT whether a receipt is desired. Phoenix Gazette.
