WaIkinu.

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with n single superluous part.
Every inch of every foot Is meant for
use. When a man walks In the right
way, speaking literally, the back of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge Of the foot takes
the bulk Of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step IS q slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground.
Heel to toe is the movement. Try 1t
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way, and what poor 10 doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard.

Eappinass In Sleep.

saw once how like sleep was to life
in the deep waters. 4 man who TO my
waking eyes looked cold and starved
and ragged sat upon one of the benches
on the embankment. He was Sleep
ing, and l knew from his face that
then at least he did not count himself
miserable. But presently q policeman
came and shook the sleeper into wax
ing life. Then all the violence Of the
world seemed to be let loose upon this
wreck of q man. He shook and blink
ed his eyes and breathed with heavy
spasms. It was just as when fish
Is caught out Of the depth Of the sea
and suddenly cast into basket. I
have seen mackerel shake and gasp
like this poor man suddenly caught up
out Of the native depths Of sleep. Or
If you think that q fish thus dying Is
only an amusing and not a painful
sight then think Of what it might be
If some giant of fable could catch us
I'D out Of our native mir into the space
between the stars. Would we not will
ingly sink back again into the depth
Of air? So 1t is when the loud world
let's us glide down into sleep.-London

His Name In the Directory.

"One funny thing I have learned
about human nature" said the drug
store cashier sis the habit many peo-
pie have Of marking their own names
in the city directory. They do that be-
cause the directory is the only place
where their names ever get into print.
and it has such fascination for them
that they can't resist calling attention
10 it. 4 funny old man who likes to
talk tells me that he has made special
trips TO different parts of the city just
10 mark his name in the directories OF
the neighborhood. He puts little
cross in red ink before 1t. l asked him
what good 1t did. He said none posi-
bly,, although he Is q teacher of Ian
guages and may get few calls on &C.
count Of that queer advertisement.
But his is an exceptional case. Not
many persons spend time and money
hunting city directories, but every
time they happen TO see new one
they can't help looking up their names
and putting some kind of q mark
around them."-New York Sun.

Mansfield's Coaching.

"Richard Mansfield" said an actress
who played In his company, "was q
great teacher, but terribly relentless.
I shall never forget time when was
playing with him in The First Flo-
lin l could not, strive frantically as
l would, do the thing he wanted. He
was gentle ut first, and then, persisting
In my failure, he began to lash and
whip and sting me with his words
until 1 thought 1 should have to run
away. In agony of impotent despera-
ton cried out:
"I cannot Oh, cannot!
"Alr. Mansfield threw up his hands
In a gesture of relief, and smile play
ed about his lips.
"'Why,' he said sweetly, you're DO
ing the very thing right now. No one
on earth could do 1t better And then
l knew what he meant, and those lines
were q triumph TO me all that season.

them any assistance within his linn ited means. He Is to be commend cd for this generous act. and the an- nouncement of his action calls forth many compliments from his legion of admirers.
 Following this move. Heyman also made the purchase of gold trimmed briar wood pipe. and presented the same to Major Doran. with instruc- tions to give it to the first Hassa- yamper that enrolled his name in the home, after it was thrown open.
 Heyman ranks as pioneer com merc.al traveller in Arizona. and no man is probably better known, and none enjoys also a higher regard in public esteem as a good fellow" in any line that business or pleasuree may face him.
 His offer at the Pioneer Home has been accepted by the Arizona board of control. and when the structure is ready the donation will be at the front door.

BUY 4 GRAVEYARD.


 LOS ANGELES. June 21.-Greatly to their surprise and not a little to their disgust Mrs x. w. HoII and Mrs. E. Nj. Anderson. recent arrivals from the East, who bought a twelve acre ranch near Tejunga, found they had a graveyard on their hands. They don't know what to do with 1t, and in a communication to the coun- ty supervisors asked the board to help them out of their difficulty. They say many graves have been on the property for years. but they did not know this when they bought.
 When they took possession and made their unwelcome discovery they prepared to get rid of the graves. but the relatives of the dead upon the property placed a fence around the mounds. Then the two women sought to sell the acreage, but were unable to find any person who wanted a graveyard thrown in. The super visors feel they have nothing to do with the matter save to authorize the removal of the bodies if the women can reach an agreement to this eff. feet with the relatives.

GARBAGE CANS
 MUST BE USED
ULTiMATuM GOES FORTH TO PEOPLE IN DOUGLAS FROM OFFICERS.

DOUGLAS. June zs.--tSpecial.)-
 Householders who have been obey ing the city ordinance which provides for the furnishing of seperate recep- tacles for ashes. garbage and rub bish and that the receptacles for ashes and garbage shall be metal lined and the latter furnished with a cover are to have a reminder of that ordinance and a notification that it must be lived up to and obeyed. As result there will be a sudden and increasing demand for the required garbage cans at the various hardware establishments and tin shops When Health Officer Gibbs assumed his duties Of that office he was sur prised to find how few people were using receptacles for the garbage of the character which Is required by ordinance. He then went to see City Physician Dr. Greene and talked the matter over with him Dr. Greene spoke of the sanitary importance of this provision of the city laws and agreed that the ordinance should be enforced and complimented Gibbs on his expression of an intention to see that it was enforced. They decided that the best plan was to have no tice printed in circular form and that wherever Gibbs found that the proper garbage receptacles were not used be should proceed forthwith to serve a copy of such notice. This he is now doing.
 The notice which is being served calls attention to a failure 10 ob- serve the city ordinance relative to garbage, and quotes verbatim Sec ions 32 and 8 of Ordinance No. 15 and sections l and of Ordinance No. 66.
 In addition to this. for the sake of preventing loss of the required metal cans by theft it is suggested that owners have their names painted on such receptacles.
 Gibbs stated that he was elected to keep the streets in condition and the city clean and helathful and that he means to do so. and to enforce every ordinance which is necessary to carry out his duties.

WILL FURNISH 4
 ROOM IN HUME
GUS LEHMAN PLEDGED TO KIND DEED IN BEHALF OF PIONEERS.

Phoenix June. 23-No man in Arizona is more heartily in sym pathy with the creation of the home for the pioneers at Prescott than is Gus Heyman, and no man Is proving his fidelity to that good cause in a more substantial manner than is he.
 Heyman said today that when the building is ready for use he will from his own purse, provide the fur nishings and fixtures for one room and it will be turned over to the territory for any purpose desired
 Heyman stated to his friends that he would prefer that it be occupied personally by a Hassayamper, and it was his purpose to make the habi- tation one of the most striking and commOdious in the structure.
 This tribute to the pioneer comes from a man who knows the past his tory of the country more than any other one resident within it, and for over thirty years in tranversing every inch of the ground from tue Dragoons in the south to the Co coninos of the north. from the Colo rado on the west to the Blue on the east. he looks yiyidly back on the shadowy past and kuows what the trail blazers accomplished in their sacrificing efforts to make the land inviting and attractive for the others to enjoy in later years.
 Heyman came to the territory in the days that make the hood jingle with the doings of the Apache. when it was a frontier in it's border life, and when industry was battling to gain a foothold. For these req sons he appreciates what the pioneer faced. and to make his couch in the declining years one of appreciatiye regard. he is prompted to render
