pIyInino Rod 200 Years Old.

Winslow w. F1feld of Medford,
Mass. owns metallic divining rod
brought from England more than two
hundred years ago by one of his an
cestors. The rod, says Mr.. Fifield, has
been used successfully all over New
England and in the western mining
districts. 1t Is attached to whalebone
handles IL inches long and weighs two
ounces. The handles have inscriptions
on them which are almost obliterated
by age.
The person who brought the rod to
America was Isaac Greenleaf, who set
tied In Massachusetts,. The rod became
famous as a finder OF water. After
marking the place of many springs the
rod was used In California. Colorado
and North Carolina for locating by men
in quest of gold mines and other met

SACHET OF SWEET CLOVER
Easily Gathered, and Equal in At
tractive Scent to Any Flower
That Is Grown.

With the fields full of flowers that
give most delicate scents when prop
erly dried, there is no reason why
every woman should not have sachets
to use in chests of drawers, etc., to
give a delicate perfume to clothing.
In gathering clover enormous guam
titles should be picked, because 1t
shrinks when dried, and it is impossi-
BILE to have too much when the supply
to draw from is endless.
There is no difficulty for a novice In
growing things to distinguish sweet
clover, for 1t grows tall and rank,
with thick stems, on which are small
leaves.
At the top are the flowers, very tiny
white blossoms grouped together in q
long spike.
The leaves as well as the flowers
are sweet when dried. but the thick
stems should be rejected. The best
way to gather It Ia to cut down great

The counterfeit southerner.

OF course. there are many counter
feits. A most amusing imitation Is
one that often passes for the typical
southerner In New York. This satchel-
mouthed braggart infests the cafes
and demands attention by his abusing

sense of honor. Il hate a niger, sub"
he loudly proclaims. which Is a senti-
ment that one never hears from those
to the manner born. He haunts the
theaters and parades the streets, since
1t is poor fun to practise his gentility
In private.
He wears wide black hat, mounts
the table and yells whenever the band
plays southern melody. Such a pre-
tendous caricature would be harmless
enough, but for the ridicule he brings
upon the south. Unfortunately, popu-
lar authors seem to accept him at face

Child Bit by
 Hydrophobia Skunk

Gene Lsrrieu of Huachuca Siding tells the Cochise County Press that . little girl by the name of Loretta Csrillo was bitten on the left thumb by a bydropbobis skunk which had crawled in the house and on the bed where the little one was lying, not having got up yet. it being early in the morning. The child tried to ward off the animal and endesvored to crawl undo. the covers and at the same time beating at the skunk with her hands. It was then that the little one had its thumb bitten. The mother hearing the chili's cries rushed into the room Tn time to grab the skunk by the tail and shrew on the ground on the outside, killing it.
 Saturday the little one was taken to Tucson, from which place she would be taken to Los Angeles for the pasteur treatment.
 IL seems that in this country where the rattlesnake and hydrophobis skunk lives and So many are bitten, that it would be a humane idea to to have Pasteur treatment in the Southwest.

 Of Authority

The terri- torial administration now have be- come thoroughly aroused and propose administering an official rebuke and put the matter to 6 test.
 It is understood tho governor and administration notified the board that unless the 25 cents was prt on the rolls, proceedings would be instituted against the board and their boudsmen D for the amount which foot. the tidy sum Of s3s 600.
 Today the board cspitulated and ordered the 25 cent raise put on the rolls. This puts the tax rate S275 in- stead of S2.55 as at first estimsted But from all accounts the fight will not end here ss it is understood tfs board will carry the matter into court and have the 25 cents knocked out, il 1 possible, on legal grounds before it is time for Treasurer Hicks to collect the annual tsxes in December.

Edgar, a res dent of Cochise county. who is following the vocation of a rangeman and live stock grower. The charge Is one of the most unique that has ever been presented to that department, Edgar having been found guilty by 6 Texas grand jury of buying and ship ping a heiier in that stste that wac afflicted with tuberculosis. The trans- action took place some months ago. when Edgar was purchasing cattle in that state, and after his notification of the charge against him. has awaited judicial procedure to snswer to the novel crime of which he is accused. Edgar. it IS said, is in ignorance of the allegations against him and when he made the purchase of the animal , was permitted to ship it out of Texas and to unload it at Cochise station, on the Southern Pacific, before any criminal action was instituted. The accused man bears an excellent name in Southern Arizons, where he is prominently identified with the live | stock industry.
