Cows that Never Drinks.

The "wild COW" of Arabia, in
reality an antelope, the Beatrix
oryx, is said never to drink,
which is probably correct, for
unless these animals can descend
the wells they can find no drink
ing water for ten months in the
year. There is no surface water,
and rain falls but precariously
during the winter. Only once
during my journey did | find a
pool of rain water, caught In a
hollow rock, and even this |
should have passed by without
knowing of its existence had not
my camels shifted it from a
great distance and obstinatelv
refused to be turned from going
in that direction. These ante
lope, however, are provided by
nature with a curious food sup
ply, especially designed as a
thirst quencher. This is para
site which grows on the roots of
the desert bushes and forms a
long spadix full of water and
the antelope dig deep holes in
the sand in order to get at these.

An Opie Reed Story.

was riding along road in
Arkansas on q hot summer day
when | came across a man who
was sitting on the end of log
in the broiling sun. Strange to
say, he was shivering as if he
were sitting ON an iceberg. He
seemed on the point of freezing
to death.
"Why do you sit IN the sun?'
| asked, very curious. at seems
to me you'd hunt the shade
"Can't get up no fever" he
replied laconically. "The chills
is on me. has chills for several
hours. Then | has the fever.
When the fever hits me, | hunts
he shade"
Chow long have you had the
chiils?"
"Nigh on to thirty years. You
see, stranger, this is chill coun-
try"
"Why don't you move to some
other state and get rid of the
chills and fever?' l pursued.
"What would be the uee?' he
asked simply. Cpd probably
have to get used to some other
sort of disease. Pm used to
these here chills now. Besides,
I'd have to learn some other
trade; some new way of making
a living. I done shook so long

That Old Brick.

When 90 home al night and
find my room is freezing cold, |
always think of comforts that |
had in days of old. One thing |
call to mind just now, [ knew in
time now dead, is that hot brick
that mother put, in flannels, in
my bed. Each night she'd 90 and
geta the brick just when the clock
struck 8. Twas heated in the
oven, on the stove or in the CRATE.
I'd jump in bed end cover up
and put my feet on it, and with
certain shriv'ring boy it always
made a hit. | haven't had a hot
brick for thirty years, | guess. |
am sorry that | haven't, too, be-
cause | must confess I've seen
cold nights-yee, lots of them
when one hot brick in bed would
sure have been comfort and a
blessing on the dead.

The Candid Parent.

There are few qualities that
count for more than candor in
dealing with young people of the
present day. Whether it be an
opinion or a practice or a person
that is under discussion. the OBJ
jections that father and mother
raise will be listened to with far
more respect if it is known that
they are quite willing to hear the
other side and to give it to all
the weight that it deserves.
Youth is naturally open. minded
and generous and prove to take
the part of the under dog" and
consciousness and prejudice are
most odious faults in it's eyes.
Many a child has been driven TO
career or marriage that was
not really best to his own inmost
tn ,ught by the tactless opposi
tion of his parents. On the
other hand, a well-earned reouta-
tion for fairness in small matters
may help a parent beyond his
utmost hopes IN some great crisis

Hotel Customs.

Hotel customs throughout the
world are varied. A hotel in
France is on wheels and turns so
that any room can be given sun
light. Regulations governing the
length of bed sheets have been
made in certain States. Prob
ably the most unique custom
prevails in Tempe, a town in the
Salt River Valley, Arizona. Here
the proprietor refunds the hotel
charges to all his patrons on any
day the sun does not shine. At
first this seems benevolent, but
looking into the matter we find
that he has been called upon to
remit to his guests only once in
the last five years. Guarantee
ing sunshine is an original fea-
ture.

Had there been a call the department would have been in trou- ble.

 You awake tired. lame and sore. It is a task to get dressed. It hurts so to bend over. It is agony to straight en up again.
 All day the dull, throbbing ache keeps up, varied with stabs of pierc- ing pain when you twist or turn; whirling dizzy spells. specks and spots dancing before the eyes, miser- able headaches and a dead-tir or languid feeling.
 You have no appetite for meals, can't work. can't rest, and are an noyed with too frequent urination, and a burning scalding pain in mak- ing passages.
 At night the suffer retires, hop inG for sleep that either does not come, or is troubled and fitful. Sew eral times during the night you awake with a desire to urinate.

 The case of the man sent from Mesa is one that should be taken up by some of our charitably disposed citizens and help given. It is hardly just that the people of Phoenix should bear all of the burden. Contributions can be sent direct to Miss Gilchrist at the city hall. and she will see that the money is properly expended.

The summer rains started a growth of nearly every variety of weed and grass known in Arizona and at present some of these are as tall las full grown man. Removed at this time of the year there will be very little growth until next summer and the labor of keeping the waterways in a more slightly condition will be greatly lessOned. The superintendent is doing the best he can. and in time will have the system running smoothly if he receives the cooperation of the people. It would seem that, as a mat ter of pride, those owning property should at least assist in the work by removing the weeds along the ditch banks.
