Of Joe's maiden effort in literature
that he can hardly be classed as an

Joe IS peeved. In sooth, it is no
wonder he feels veXed- Willing to

to land an occasional job; this applies
to the entire bunch Of heavtes from
Johnson down to the most hopeless of

refuses to give him a tumble at all

Therefore il is at the Johnson person
that the HOboken scrapper sings his

wants his game, and because he finds
it necessary to hike to Europe every
time he runs short Of money, Jeanette
in his arrangement of the champion
lands some damaging blows to the al

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Tension was relaxed on the stock market today, which presented more of d normal appearance after the troubled days which preceded Fluctuations in some of the leading stocks was still wide, and the tone continued unsettled and at times feverish. but there was no approach to the eXcit- ing dealing and violent movement of yesterday. The prices rose briskly at the beginning of the day and be- fore the first hour had ended gains of from 1 to 3 points were registered throughout. Then the market weak cred and the early gains were lost. Tn the early afternoon there was an other rally. but at the end of the day the net changes were small
 The weakness on the exchanges on account of the rumOrs of develop ments in the international situation influenced the market to some ex- tent. although Wall street was less sensitive than recently to the changes abroad owing to preoccupation with it's own affairs.
 The forecasts of tomorroW's bank statement suggested a small cash loss.

the work of preserving the family Of elk to pOsterity. Dr. E. F. Looney of Prescott, some time ago went to the north to investigate the condi- tions under which the elk are now preserved and if it is possible to get some for Arizona.
 He found that for $1600 herd oi eighty animals could be brought from Yellowstone Park to Arizona, suf ficient to make d good start. In his report to Governor Hunt Dr. Looney laid the facts before him and sug gested that some means be obtained to get the elk here. and that they be allowed to run loose in the sec tions best suited to their needs pro- tected by the stringent game laws which prohibis their slaughter.
 Governor Hunt immediately took hold of the proposition and since that time has written letters to every F,lks lodge in the state-the gov ernor is himself a Hello Bilr"-ask- ing that they interest themselves in the matter of getting the elk here There IS no law under which the eX penditure can be made, and reim hursement can only be made by spe cial enactment of the legislature
 So well have the Elks taken hold of the proposition that at a meeting held on Thursday evening the Phoe nix Ellls, by unanimous resolution, decided to assist to the utmost eX tent of their ability in getting the herd, both by subscription and in fiuence.
