Why Dickens Wrote "chrlstmas car

Why Dickens Wrote "chrlstmas Carol"
noticed a statement in one Of the
papers recently that Dickens wrote his
Christmas Carol" with the express OBJ
ject of reviving the popular interest in
the Christmas season and its festivi
ties. This Is pleasing fiction which
had often been previously met with.
The fact is that Dickens wrote the
Christmas Carol In the autumn of
lS43 because he was short Of money
and in great need of $4,000. The most
candid chapter In Forster's Life" Is
the one lin the second volume) which
relates the tale of Dickens disappoint-
ment and despair when he received
the Carol accounts. for instead of
the $4,000 he had set his heart and
soul upon" the sum due to him was
only $1,150 Dickens wrote: my
years bills, unpaid. are so terrific that
all the energy and determination
can possibly exert will be required to
clear me before | go abroad" Dick.
ems ultimately cleared $3.50 by the
christmas Carol" on sale OF $4,000
copies.-London Truth.

It wasn't long before there was only about 20 cents left out of five dollar note and then Tribolet produced another of the same denomination. That, too, went up in smoke and thirst ,quenchers. When the boys had had all they wanted and were still wondering why this generosity, Tribo- let thanked the boys for a fire time and left them.
 Slowly it began to dawn on them that the butcher mad been spending their money and not his. It happened like this:
 On the Fourth of July there was a little three-round scrap in the Thal- heimer saloon second only in interest to the spectators to the bout up at Reno. Simon Machenthaler, Tribolets sausage man, and otto Tribolet were present; also three Irishmen. It is un- derstood that the sausage man put out several of the Irishmen.

HE ARIZONA FIRE
 INSURANCE COMPANY
TT Will Be Ready to Begin Writing
 Business About August IS.

The Arizona Fire Insurance com pany. recently organized in this city. has secured to manage its business w B. Cough of New York City, man of twenty-three years experi- ence in the business. and highly rec commended by some of the largest in surance companies in the United
 MT Cough was induced to come west mainly through the fact that members of his family require change of climate, for which reason he was glad of an opportunity to accept d good position in his chosen line of work, even if the emoluments were not at first so great as he could secure in the east. He is now en- gagged in having the policies, maps and other forms required in the business prepared, and is expected here at an early day. It is planned to have everything in readiness to begin the writing of business on August 15.
 The Arizona Fire Insurance com pany is the child of the Arizona Finance company, organized several nlOnInS ago lOI lilc tAHItoS Pui pOot of disposing of the stock of the pro- posed fire insurance company and att tending to all the preliminaries of its organization. The stock in suffi- cient amount to insure the success of the enterprise was subscribed for in a remarkably short time, and the company could long ago have begun business had it been deemed wise to hurry things. But on the contrary, it was decided to take plenty of time and secure the very best men avail able at the beginning, men of ex- perience as well as talents, that the business may start on the best pos sible basis. Various applicants for the place of manager have been un- der consideration for weeks. and MT Cough has finally been chosen from among them.

The theory of the promoters of the company is that there is no reason why Arizona people should not pat ronize an Arizona company, if equal protection can be assured at equally as low premium rates, and that is what the company now proposes to offer The added inducement to the Arizona patron is that the company's resources and premiums. when col lected, will not be sent to the eastern financial centers, but will be kept in Arizona and placed on mortgage loans and other good home securities. The money paid to the company, though lost to the patron except in the case of a fire, still remains in his own territory. to swell the local circula- tion and increase home business gen orally, and that is what Arizona wants more capital at home for development purposes.

When business closed yesterday afternoon at the Tribolet market Fred Tribolet invited the whole force of em- pIoyes out for a little light refresh ments. He set up the cigars and pur- chased numerous steins. The boys looked at each other in surprise They asked Tribolet if it was his birthday, or if somebody had just got married, or had the stork been around, but Tribolet just smiled and went right ahead buying more steins and more cigars.

SUPERSTITION OF BALL PLAYERS

The following is quoted from Hugh S. Fullertons excellent articles on Batting in the July American Mag azine:
 The superstitions of players re garding their batting are more nu- merous than the players themselves. Each one has a different mascot, or system of bringing luck and to an outsider these superstitions would furnish a constant laugh, sbecause of their ridiculousness. The Chicago Cubs have a red-headed youth on pay, whose duty it is to spit on the end of each bat as the batter goes to the plate. to bring him luck Jimmy Sheckard sticks his chewing gum on a certain lucky spot on top of his
