1.-THE "NIGGER" IS EXPOSED
Found in the Gazette Woodpfie by the
 Editor of Phoenix Sun

During those anxious day& when
 our Arizona statehood wa. hanging
 perilously, like Mahomet's coffin, oe-
 tween the heaven of hope and The
 earth of defeat, it was currently re- i ported that a certain newspa per q | large claims and small performances $ ] had wired to one of the i1snTgent
 republican senators to insist lpOn
 making an issue over the pre9. dent '>
 veto, even at the cost, of statehood.
 at the recent special session of -on- gress, says the Phoenix Sun The report was d most dis-lfolng one to the real friends of statehood. It was so amazing that man dis believed it. They cou,d nos -red.r such disastrous dupliciry to -ne re- puted author of it.
 The editor of the Sun wired e once to Senator Ben E. Shively, senator for Iudiana and member of the senate committee on territories, to as -erta in the truth of the report. senator Shively did not reply by ~jre, but has since written to the editor ot the Sun as follows:
 My dear MT. Small: was lpa ole to answer your telegram witn tue accuracy and deini.epess of infor- nation which such a matter requires.
 ''I had chat with the Eansau after receiving your wire.

Suddenly, while the little company

Of the glare. With one impulse all

There was an evil.smelling kero,
sene hand.lamp, the wick turned low,
on the dressing table. But the bed
was empty! Turning up the lamp he
made a hasty survey Of that and the
adjoining room and Of the closet In
each. All were empty; the rear room
was evidently where Keziah Ann
slept. ..,
Then Valentine ran downstairs and
flashed the lamp into the front set

nobody was to be seen. but his quick
ear caught the sound Of smiling, ant

headforemost out Of the buggy over
the horses back into the road.
The buggy lamp was burning bright

tic beast, he started to look for the
trouble. This proved to be stout
barbed wire stretched tightly across
the highway from tree to tree four
or five feet above the ground. The
horse was badly cut about the neck
and chest, and practically ruined.
After reaching home by driving
around through . side street, he gave
the alarm: half dozen men with
John Corrie at their head and armed
with lanterns. reached the spot. only
to fnd that the deadly wire had mys-
teriously disappeared! But the
marks OF the horses hoofs remained
in the road to indicate the spot, and
the wounded animal was proof that
the doctor had not been mistaken. So
they telegraphed for Valentine to re-
turn instanter.

The Curious Vegetable Caterpillar Of
New Zealand.
Among the many strange 9rowths.
apparently freaks of nature. which are
to be found in New Zealand the vege-
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar is sew
sral inches IN length. is hairless and
does not differ essentially In appear
ance from some of the caterpillars of
our own land.
Its claim to distinction lies in the
fact that when IL gets ready to die IL
digs a hole for itself In the earth and
completely buries itself. Later a slen-
der green shoot springs from the spot.
This bears two or more leaves rear its
top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
Of the dead caterpillar, and further in
yestigation develops the fact that the
body Of the caterpillar is filed with
roots.
The form is retained without change,
and the roots do not pierce through
the skin or enter the ground. When
dug up this dead yet living freak pre-
sents a most odd appearance, for the
head and even the eyes of the cater
pillar are distinctly seen, yet from the
head is growing the green sprout, with
