THOMAS CAT
WAGES WAR
At MIDNIGHT
AND AS A RESULT THERE Is A
HEAVY GLASS BILL
TO PAY.

The city editor is suffering from
a crouch today, but, like Postum,
there's a reason" And the story
runs in this wise:
1t was somewhere after midnight
when we were awakened by an UNI
earthly yell out in the hall of our
domicile. 1t was raucous, coarse
yo@I vibrant enough to wake the
dead. 1t woke us, all right, and
we proceeded to investigate.
The midnight serenader proved
to be cat of the Thomas variety,
a big yellow fellow, Scared with
the marks of a hundred battles. He
had evidently got locked in the
house before everything was closed
up for the night, and firing of the
confinement when he had date
outside he proceeded to make Rome
howl.
There was nothing to do but cap
ture the indignant animal and put
him outside, and this we tried to
do. After some coaxing we man
aged to get our hands on him, but
carelessly omitted to do little
coaxing first, with the result that
Thomas declared war. And the vet
eran of hundred battles knew how
to wage it, BY the time we could
let go we bore marks of the con-
f1ict
In our indignation we grabbed
hold of stick of stovewood with
the idea Of lambasting the cat good
and plenty, but the foxy feline had
by this time retreated down the
back stairs, where he was sputter-
ing and spewing. The back stairs
door, which was locked, had six
panes. of glass in it before we SHE'D
that stick of wood at the cat. Aft
erward it didn't have any.
And when we came down town
and inquired the cost of putting in
those six panes we got that crouch

DREW GUN
UPON HIS
ROOMMATE
BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T LEND
HIM MONEY FOR
DRINK.

Because his roommate declined to
loan him small amount of money
with which to purchase liquor, Tom
Kakarikos attempted to kill TOMS
Petrove the other day in one of
the boarding houses in the Greek
quarter at McGin. The prompt in
reference of bystanders prevented
tragedy, says the Ely Expositor
Kakarikos was arrested by the
deputy sheriffs at McGill and is now
safely lodged in the county Jail,
pending a hearing in the justice
court. A formal charge of assault
with intent to kill has oeen prefer
red against the drunken foreigner.
Crazed with drink, Kakarikos re-
turned TO the quarters occupied by
himself and Petrove after forty
eight hours of riotous dissipation in
the tenderloin district near McGill.
The Greek had squandered his
monthly earnings on the redlight
women, and was anxious to continue
the drunken debauch
After informing his partner that
LIS bank roll had entirely vanished,
Kakarikos asked Petrove to loan
him a small sum of money. Pc
trove declined to comply with the
request, and told his roommate he
had better sober up
Angered because he could not Sc
cure the desired change, Kakarikos
whipped out an ugly looking re-
volver and was in the act of dis
charging the weapon when several
Greeks in the building interfered.

SCAkT ALLOWANCE OF SOAP
Captain Didn't Want to Hire Three Rooms to Get Hands and
 Face Washed.

When Fairmount inn was opened. among its first patrons was Captain Stringer of Marshby. He had long been friend of Captain Larrabee, the father of the young proprietor of the new inn, and he wished to see for himself what kind of a tavern Eddy would keep"
 He was taken to one of the pretti- est rooms, where the proprietor's wife awaited his opinion. He looked silent ly at all the modern innovations, but the pretty bathroom adjoining his bed room, he spoke his word.
 "Is that little square cake O soap all that goes with this f1t-out?" he in quired, indicating the cake in its nick el holder.
 Why, yes," said the young woman. One cake for each room, new for each guest, of course"
 Well, now, see here" said the cap- tain, confidentially. You and Eddy have got used to city ways, where it's all style, and save in what don't show but let me tell you one thing, you're liable to have a good many folks from Marshby and all around, that knew the cap'n, and wish his young folks well. Now you furnish up few rooms with some good liberal bars O soap such as we're used to.
 It'll cost ye little more, but twill come to more'n it costs on advertis ing. You wouldn't want your fathers old friends to tell that they had to hire three rooms at Fairmount inn to get them a good face-and-hands wash now would ye?"-Youth's Companion

Springfield address, he silenced his timed friends with the un- forgetable words, "It is true that 1 will deliver 1t as written"
 Lincoln fulfilled the ideal laid down in the holy writ for the governance of those who are to choose judges and rulers of the people: "More- over, thou shalt choose out of all the people men of strength, such as fear God, men of truth, hating their own gain
 He was man of that moral strength which is the noblest courage - strong enough to dare to be in the right and to do the right though he must needs stand alone. Let Us not forget his strength, who was as strong as he was sim ple,-not only strong enough to oppose an unjust war, even though waged by his country. So strong was he that, re- fusing to be goaded on by his friends and unafraid of his foes, he issued the Emancipa- tion Proclamation at the right hour, when 1t was destined to achieve the greatest good. Man of strength was he who three days before his assassin ation, gave voice to the guid- ing rule of his rule of his life: Important principles may and must be infexible;;" who, in his Cooper Union address, delivered himself of the almost prophetic burden, "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand 1t.

people could lose to the cor porations is through a failure to vote at all. The stay at home vote, always dangerous, will be especially so at the i'm pending election. It is time for missionary work of high type. Personal work is what counts. You favor the consti- tuition; you want Arizona to become a state; you want to be relieved from the heavy hand of corporate oppres- sion.
 Very well-then go to the polls February 9 and vote. Don't assume that there will be enough votes without yours. Every single vote added to the majority will help the commit tee which goes to Washington to hurry statehood through; every stay at home vote will hinder that committee in its work.
 After you have yourself voted, go out into the high ways and byways and find the other fellow and see that he votes. A vote unrecorded is a vote against statehood. In word, if you want freedom, and want statehood, and want self government, work and vote. Get out the vote. Ar izona Gazette.

Three Great Danish Clans.

The Danish government recently found 1t necessary to grant heads of families the privilege of changing their names if they feel so disposed without mourning any legal costs. This is a necessary piece of legislation, for the population of Denmark is divided into three great clans-the Hansens, the Petersens and the Soerensens. In one town of 25,000 inhabitants over four-f1fths bore one or the other of these names. Many of these hare taken advantage of the new law and assumed more distinctive names.

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN
People Who Never Change Their Minds Have Magnlfled Opinion
 of Their Wisdom.

"I never change my mind," I once heard an old woman say.
 And from the way in which she said 1t she seemed to be quite proud of her attitude.
 The funny part of it is that the peo- pie who never change their minds nearly always have a magnified opin- ion of their wisdom. They would be very much upset if they realized that others probably much better in formed than themselves considered them merely obstinate and foolish.
 But they seldom, if ever, see them selves in this light, so they continue to map out their lives in the same narrow groove, until perhaps one day ment, find themselves left far behind people whom they looked down upon as ignorant.
 "A wise man changes his mind a fool never" says an old proverb, and we should always keep this before us as a mental danger signal.
 "She simply won't be taught" have often heard people say. Don't let anybody say it of you in future It is the people who are always will ing to learn who get on best in this world.
 If we keep our minds open as well as our eyes and ears we shall find that we are never too old to change our minds, and that we can learn something from everybody, even if it Is only what not to do-Home Chat.

7HE GREAT CORPOR.

.O ations, the vested inter
 ests, the special inter ests, or whatever term may be most appropriately applied, have been in control of affairs in Arizona too long to readily resign their position at the trough.
 Every corporation in Ari- zona is opposed to the consti- tuition. What better argu- ment could the people have in it's favor than that?
 Already the leaders who have the matter in hand are arranging several eleventh hour devices in fatuous hope that the tide of public sentiment which is sweeping irresistibly towards a great peoples victory may be turned in some miraculous manner and the day saved for these self same corporations.
 One of these schemes in wolves the issuance of a "roor- back" letter which Is to be sent to every voter whose vote there is any chance of secur- ing; too short a time before election to permit of the state ments contained there to be refuted and proven false.
 Such tactics as these are the last resort of a lost cause. Of course they will have no effect except to the more thor oughly digust the public, al- ready sickened with the efforts of the interests" to keep their feet in the bucket from which drip the golden drops of patronage.
 The corporations have the money and the organization. The people have neither the money nor organization with which to make the righteous battle of the ballots on the oth. All they have is just cause, backed by an almost solid pub lie opinion.
