Mr.. Champagne was not at home,
but there were six lady relatives from
the east visiting there. They arranged
a bed in the center of the room on
the second floor and all placed them
selves upon it. This proved to be a
wise precaution, for when the house
was struck they escaped unhurt,
though every room in the house was
broken up-plaster torn off and floors
torn up. A bomb shell could not
have been more destructive.

FOUR TICKETS TO VOTE.

On Tuesday April End, each voter
will have the privilege of putting
four tickets into the ballot box pro-
vided he cares to exercise, the same,
viz; the city ticket. ticket on build
ing city hall, presidential ticket
and one for municipal judge. The
latter will contain the names of those
making the contest for municipal
judge.
The city ticket will necessarily be
quite large one as there are already
two parties in the field having full
nominations and there is likely to be
third.
The presidential ballots will have
printed on them the names of the
party dates for the presidency, and
the voter can express his choice
among the candidates of his own
party, in the usual way. In addition
to the names of the presidential can
didates the ballot will also bear the
names of candidates for delegates at
large and also for district delegates.
The delegates elected will go TO the
national convention of their respec-
tive parties and name the party's
candidate for president and vice-pres-
ident. These candidates are not legal
ly bound to vote for the candidate en-
dOrSed bV the people, but such course
is the best one to pursue if the candi-
date so endorsed does not draw out
of the race.
The city hall ticket will merely be
a slip for or against the building of
the city hall this year, is to secure an
expression from our people as to
whether the building shall be erected
this year.

Provisions Of The Fish
 And Game Law


 the legislature. is one of special interest to hunters. It seeks to make them pay for the upkeep of the bureau that has as it's special function, the preserva- tion of the game-birds and fish. The bill is so framed as to make in possible for hunters to enjoy a days outing at nearing any sea- son of the year. in the pursuit of one or the other species of game.
 A game warden's department is provided for, in which there will be employed as many deputy game wardens as may be neces- sary. Because the bill does not go into effect for ninety days after the clo e of legislature, the appointment of a game warden has been deferred.
 One of the means of income for the office is that derived from the sale of general hunting licenses which may be issued to citizens and residents of the state for the sum of fifty cents, which entities the holder thereof to hunt game and birds in the open season for the period of one year. These licenses may be issued by the game warden him. self, the board of supervisors of the several counties, and the de- putty game wardens. In addi- tion to this the licenses are di- vided into resident and non-resi- dent licenses. big game and bird licenses. They cost different sums according to the class of license that is issued. A non- resident big game license costs $25 per year, a bird license $10. while an alien is charged $100 per year for big game, and $25 per year for a bird license. Should a hunter desire to ship | his quarry out of the state he must purchase a permit which | will cost $2.50, and should he lose any of the papers that have been issued to him by the game warden's department, he can duplicate them by paying ten cents for the duplicate copy.
 In order to hunt one must be over twelve years of age. and must use a shot gun not larger than ten guage or an ordinary sporting rife In his rifle he is not allowed to use steel pointed or steel bullet, and the amount of game he is allowed to kill is also regulated by law. Thus he or she must not kill in season more than two male deer or wild turkey, the open season for which is between October 1 and December 15. But 9 quail, snipe or rail in any one day, the open season for which is between October 15 and February 1st. The limit on ducks, geese or brant is placed at 25 for any one day, and the open season is from September 1st to April 1st. Doves and white wings are more plentiful, thirty-fve of these toothsome birds being allowed for one quarry, the open season for which is from June 1st to February 1st.
 The open season for trout is from June 1st to September 1st, and but twenty fish are allowed to be caught for any one license upon any one day. The season for black bass, strawberry bass and crappies is from September 1st to December 1st, and but twenty are allowed to be caught. Fish under seven in ches long must be returned to the water with as little damage to them by

From McCsll's Magazine.

From McCsll's Magazine.
When. twenty years ago, a man took a
pair of full grown ostriches and fourteen
chicks to Phoenix, AriZ., with the inten-
tion of starting an ostrich farm for profit.
he was the brunt of many jokes, and
when all but two of the birds were killed
through ignorance in handling, the out
look for him was blue enough. indeed.
But he persisted, studied, exercised great
care-and the five thousand birds now in
the Salt River Valley are practically the
result. Each hen lays from twelve to
fifty four pound of eggs a year. Some are
hatched and some sold to curious persons
for 80 cents each. Each chick is worth
$25 when 1t emerges from the shell and
up to $500 and $500 by the time it is four
years old, while especially fine birds
(breeders) are individually worth $1,000
and upward.
The birds live to be eighty years old or
more, and the feathers are prime from
the fourth to the fiftieth year of the bird
so, with the increase and with the
money made from the pluckings at $25 to
SIS a pound for feathers, a pair of os-
triches will make one quite a fortune in
number of years. South African breed
ers who have been in the Salt River
Valley investigating state that the condi-
tions for raising ostriches in Arizona are
better than In Africa.

How to Devise a
Cheap Pipe Wrench

(Prepared by the editors Of the Scientific American
for this paper. Copyright, 1872, by Mum & Col
Quite frequently it becomes necessary
to have a pipe wrench, especially for
! brass tubing, that will not mar the work
and yet at the same time will permit of
using sufficient force to produce the re-
quired results without crushing the tub
ing
Here is described one Of the cheapest,
simplest. and yet most efficient OF pipe
| wrenChes. 1t consists of two parts: A
piece of hard wood about IL by II by Is
and piece OF strong 2-inch leather belt
ing about three feet long. The strap
should be riveted to the wood with rivet
heads well sunk below the surface of the
wood on the side opposite the strap side
of the lever The loose end Of the strap
should have holes punched at intervals
of one inch or so to make IT adjustable
, to the work with the stud the opposite
side OF the bar.
The strap should be turned down over
the end of the lever, then up and around
the opposite end, where II is fastened
to the stud on the under side. The OBJ
ject of throwing the strap around the
end OF the strap must not be taken from
II at the end is TO insure a maximum
amount OF pull on the strap with a mini
mum strain where 1t is fastened to the
stud.
Use this device like any other pipe
wrench. To release the wrench for an
other pull. simply pull 1t away from the
pipe far enough to allow II to loosen its
grip and begin for the new pull by sim
ply repeating the first operation. The
end of the strap must not be taken from
the stud after 1t is adjusted until the
operation of turning the pipe is completed.
With the use OF this wrench. an even
strain is placed upon the tubing on its
entire surface without any possible dan
ger of marring or crushing II.
With a few trials the work can be done
as quickly as with an open pipe wrench.
The writer has employed this idea in
many different ways, and finds 1t most
helpful. When a fountain pen cap
sticks take little stick and a piece
