Fishing de luxe.-Captain George
Walker, an amateur yachtsman OF
Savannah, says that he used to have
a darky hand on his Georgia planta-
ton who loved ease and fishing. When
he wasn't fishing he was loafing.
One night there was rain almost
heavy enough to be called cloud
burst, and the next morning all the
low places on the plantation were
flooded two feet deep. Passing the
negro's cabin, Captain Walker found
him seated in an easy chair at the
kitchen door fishing in small puddle
Of muddy water that had been formed
there.
Henry, you old fool" said Capt
Walker, what are you doing there?'
Boss" said Henry, Else jest fish
in a little"
We'll, don't you know there are nc
fish there?" demanded Capt. Walker
"Yes, suh," said Henry, II knows
dat But dis here place is so handy!

What is that compared with the $45,-

that owes it's existence solely to his
energy and perseverance. Therefore,

University of Virginia, tells this story,
illustrating the importance of being
careful in criticism:
"I knew of a certain instructor in
rhetoric who always impressed upon
his students the necessity Of clarity in
what they wrote. A young man
brought on one occasion a very care
fully prepared essay.
"a good piece of work." said the
instructor, "but, Mr.. Smith, you
should remember to write every SEN
tence so that the most ignorant person

down."
The young man looked worried and
asked anxiously:
What part of my essay was not
clear to you, rOfcssOr?"-Popular

BOYS CROSS
 CONTINENT
Beat Their Way From Boston to Phoenix in Fifteen Days and Say They Want to Be Ari- zona Cowboys

Beating their way nearly across the continent from Boston to Phoenix. riding blind baggage and on freight trains and making the trip to Phoe- nix in fifteen days, is the record ot Michael Ambrose and Arthur Ar sineau, each aged seventeen years taken into custody about midnight last night by Officer Maxwell. They said that Phoenix was their destina- tiOn, they having G-ecided before Ieav- ing Boston. that i!. or near this city would be found the land and the con- ditions they sought. They are inn bued with the idea of becoming cow boys, Ambrose claiming to have all ready had considerable experience in herding cattle upon ranches near Cheyenne, Wyoming.
 This is the first time Arsineau has been very far away from home AL though of slight build he said that he is learning to be a blacksmith but that it is slow work and the pay so frightfully small that he didn't think it worth while staying around Boston, when his wages wouldn't pay his board. Ambrose claims to have been a plumbers helper in Boston. working for $3.5O per week and en- deavoring to help his family from that meager amount
 Yes, we expect to get work on some ranch in this section of the |cOuntry. We may seem green to this kind of life, but I have had some eX- perience, and my chum here will pick
 it up quickly. I know what it is to be thrown ten feet in the air by a bucking horse and I know what it is to be caught in the stampede dur
 ing a roundup. We are both out here to make good. We will find work and will be glad to start at small wages until we have proven our worth"
 Both the boys show evidence of fairly good education, and while their clothes were dusty and their faces, begrimed they appeared exceptionally bright No charge has been lodged against them and as they each have little money they will probably be turned loose this morning.

Cement In Tree Cavities.

If your orchard trees have decayed portions in them clean out the routed wood. then bore diagonally into the wood in different directions from the bottom of the hole in order that the filling may hold. Fill the cavity with the following cement compound: Port land cement, one pound; sand, two pounds; cinders, two pounds. Pack the cement in well and seal all around the filling with a tar mixture. Leave no projections beyond the plane of the bark and immediately the wood ring and the bark will begin to form over the patch, and the tree will ultimately be as good as new. The entire heart of the tree may be cleared out and filled in this way and the tree will con tinue to 1ourish.-Farm Progress

 The care of this crop causes little ex- pense, and the wood lot offers one means of solving the problem of how to keep good farm help proitaby em- pIoyed all the year.
 The three principal aims in caring for the wood lot should be to keep the ground thoroughly covered with trees. to have only the best possible trees and to make them grow rapidly.
 In order to make timber grow fast care should be taken in choosing the kinds of trees to raise. the soil should be kept moist and mellow by protect ing the leaf mulch, and the best trees should be given a fair amount of light by making improvement cuttings.
 Methods of starting new trees either to fill openings now in the woods or to replace timber to be harvested are as follows: By sprouts, by seed falling from neighboring trees, by sowing seed broadcast and by planting trees or seed. Cornell (N. Y.) Reading Course Les son For Farm.

MEXICAN ACTRESSES
 FIGHT FIERCE DUEL
The Casus BelIi is a Well Known Bull
 Fighter.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 22.-A blood stained, scantiy- clad "senorita" limp ing into town in her bare feet in the early morning hours, brought to light a tale of romance in theatrical and resort to the due1ling code. Maria Conception Gonzalez and Carolina Kutze Arellano, in their hours off duty at a local theater, each strove to win the affections of one Carlos Garcia, a gold spangled knight of the cape.
 Maria, known as La Muneca, ," which translated, means "The Doll, appeared to be losing her share of the affections of the Don Juan. In desper- ation she proposed a duel with stilet- tos to which Carolina, to prove herself worthy of the object to their '+disgus- to- agreed.
 Accordingly, one night after the show" the two took taxicab to a point for out on the "Calzada de Tlalpam," a lonely road at that hour of the night, and to make the thing more impressive, selected the scene of a recent mysterious murder for the duel Here, according to the police, they fought until Carolina fell to the ground, slaShed in a dozen places and weak from the loss of blood
 The victorious Maria then proceeded to relieve her defeated rival of man tilla and other portions of her clothing, including her shoes and stockings. Both young women were arrested. La Carolina is being cared for in the city hospital under guard.

GOLDMAN LAUDS
 CAPABLE ACTING
Of Joe Detrick and His Company of Players Now at the Empress Theater; Manager Reeves Also En- titled to Credit

E. D. Goldman of this city is a patron of the drama and appreciates good plays well acted no matter if the company producing them be small or great. In a communication re ceived recently MT. Goldman has the following to say about the Empress players:
 To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 I have read with interest various comments in the Phoenix newspapers, respecting the work of the Derrick Stock company at the Empress the ater. All have been complimentary though some were mildly critical and no doubt deservedly so, for no actor is perfect and an artist improves himself only by needing adverse judgment of his work
 I am one of many in Phoenix who are much interested in matters dra- matic and I fully appreciate all eff forts toward an elevation of stand ards. I have taken note of the char act2r of the plays presented at the Empress as well as of the capable work of the members of the Derrick company. All their productions have
 been of high class thus far, bills the theater going public is familiar with
 by reading but never has an oppor- tunity to see in this city except at the Elks theater and then at much higher prices and seldom better staged or with lines more artistically spoken. In their efforts to give PhOe- nix better dramatic entertainments
 at popular prices, I think that both Manager Reeves and the Derrick Stock company are entitled to the most liberal patronage the people of this city can give them.

Timber Crop Is of Slow Growth, but It

 In order to get crop of potatoes we plant and cultivate; if we want the best orchard we spray and prune, but we let nature plant and care for the wood lot. and then we wonder why that woodlot does not pay.
 The timber crop can be improved by care for the same reasons that other crops can be improved.
 Although it takes longer to raise this crop than any other, it can be raised on land otherwise improbable or idle.
 Such a crop will in the end yield a comfortable bank account, and the value of the wood lot to the farm is greater than the sale value of the crop in the convenience and the saving of money by having various wood prod ucts at hand. in protecting the build
