1T WAS HARD ON THE KEG.

Every nail keg in the store had its
occupant the checker board was work
ing overtime, and mittens and mufflers
were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as their
owners drew closer round the big, rusty
stove.
The door opened nOiselessly, the
Youths Companion says. letting in a
blast of the storm raging outside, and
in its wake followed Rufe Blevins, a
giant wood chopper. whose good nature
and ready wit made a welcome addi-
ton to the store circle.
The loafers moved a little closer to-
gether to make room Tor Rufe on a
soap box, but he marched past the
friendly circls. pumped an empty mo-
lasses key down on the counter, which
he held out to the proprietor of the
store.
An expectant grin went round the
circle for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation of never wronging himself
by overwhelming or understanding. The
merchant adjusted his glasses and
looked expectantly from the bill. to the
wood chopper.

BETTER THAN THE MULE.
Developing the Zebra as the Ideal
Draught Animal.

The horse has another rival besides
the automobile. 1t is the Zebra-that
striped beauty Of the wilds, that for
long time was reputedto be untamable.
Experiment has shown that it can be
broken to harness. This applies 10
zebras proper, but even better results
than these are expected from the cross
ing of Zebras with various types or
horses. resulting in a hybrid combining
the hardness Of the zebra and us
ability to thrive in a climate Unsulted
TO the horse with the superior qualities
of the latter animal as a beast OF bur-
den under good conditions.
Recent letters received by me from
abroad throw interesting light upon the
developments of the last two or three
years along these lines by those most
interested in the effort to produce the
ideal animal for draught purposes in
countries where the use of the horse
has been found to be impracticable-
notably in the FLY country" as IT Is
called, and in fact in Central Africa
generally. If these experiments prove
successful-and there is every indica-
ton that they will-the problem of
carrying camp equipage and supplies in
that country will nave received prac-
teal solution and the planning Of cam
paigns there viii be simplified greatly.
For this reason the British foreign Of
flee and military authorities generally
have been displaying great interest In
this subject and are keeping close track
of every forward step made IN the eff

The Removal of the Capital.

Down ins Bisbee they are talking
about taking the capital away from
Phoenix. We had previously observed
paragraphs in our contemporary. the
Review, relating to capital removal,
but we supposed such paragraphs TO
be facetious However. we are now
warned that the movement is on in
deadly earnest.
1t is not contended that Phoenix is
not a good place for a capital; that
the capital is not centrally located;
that the territory as whole would
be benefited by capital removal
The deprivation of Phoenix is a
proposed retaliatory measure; pun
ishment for begging the highway
1t appears that the board of super
visitors of Cochise county. backed by
the people of the northern part of the
county. including Bisbee, which is
pretty well south, are in conflict with
the board of control concerning the
location of the territorial highway.
The issue in conflict of this sort
can be easily seen; the board Of con-
troll has the last word as well as the
first.
There is, therefore. nothing for
Cochise to do to get even but cart
the capital away.
But it should select a place to put
it before starting with it. Public
business would be seriously deranged
with the capital on wheels and the
custodians of the wheels in a state
of indecision, not knowing where they
were going but cognizant only of the
fact that they were on the way.
OF course, we of Phoenix have no
right to be making suggestions to the

Prohibition Planting in Tucson.

A Tucson saloon is sowing seeds
which in time will mature into a
healthy prohibition sentiment That
the rest of the saloon keepers are
opposing the planting shows that
they are fully alive to the character
Of the harvest.
Somewhat surreptiuously this sa-
loon procured through the democratic
reform council a license for a saloon
at the corner of Congress and Belknap
streets, a location which it has been
the general understanding should be
free from saloons. The council evil
IDENTIFY understood it, and the proprie-
tors of the saloon understood it, for
they proceeded stealthiIy to establish
a saloon at this forbidden spot
In consequence the city is in a
white heat Of Indignation shared by
all classes. The prohibitionists share
it because they are opposed to sa-
looms anywhere; the saloon keepers
oppose it because they recognize it as
a nail in the coffin Of the Tucson
liquor business. Those who favor the
saloon license system oppose it be-
cause the proposed location is out of
bounds.
The council has been overwhelmed
&
the license and the petitioners accom-
pany their prayer with threat that
unless the license shall be revoked,
a prohibition movement will be begun.
The agitation over this matter has
resulted in a disclosure Of the eXis-
tence of the wineroom in violation of
the territorial law, SO supplying the
prohibitionists with more ammunition
Unless the license is revoked. and
unless the winerooms are suppressed
so that the people viii know that they
are suppressed. there viii be a local
option fight on at Tucson with the
minority in favor Of the regulated
saloon.
The prohibition sentiment every
where has received its greatest i'm
petus. not from a contemplation of
the immortality Of the liquor traffic
generally, but from growing indigna-
ton at the disregard of the laws for
its regulation.
If saloon keepers had always OBJ
served such regulations as have been
imposed upon them, their opponents
would be much fewer than they are.
This is a fact which the better class
Of saloon keepers and the brewers and
distillers began TO understand some
years ago, and they then undertook
a house cleaning. But whatever
progress they have made has now
and then been nullified by some such
performance as that which has raised
a storm in Tucson.
