THE TRAVELLING MANS LAMENT

Come, listen, kind, gentle folks,
friends of humanity;
Sympathys scarce since the world
began,
And if you but know it, you better
bestow it
Whenever you can on travelling
There's no use Disgusting, the facts
are surprising,
The trials and troubles, we boys have
our load;
And one thing quite certain, they
charge us with flirting
With all the dear lasses we meet on
the road.
But even the preachers adore the
fair creatures,
And try to catch on whenever they
can;
And you will always regret 1t, and
don't you forget it,
If you ever go back on travelling
man.
Ask the conductors, the trainmen,
the delivery, the draymen,
The three-dollar day men who sell
us our hash
Now ask them just plainly on whom
they count mainly
For the root of all evil, best known
as the cash,
And they all will answer and give
you this answer,
And say that we try to make all we
But of all of our patrons, the drum
mer, the fat ones,
And the profits all come from the
travelling man.
Contributed by Will f. Wider, an
old travelling man.

LARGE CROWD ENJOYS
 COUNTRY CLUB TEA

There is no doubt but that the Coun- try club will be open the entire year. When the attractive new club house was completed in the autumn the sug- gestion that it be open to it's members was made but nothing definite was de- termined. The need of just such de- lightfuI place to pass the spring after noons is evidenced every day and as the hot weather advances there will be many demands for club for informal dinners and porch parties. There has been no reference to disseminating the Saturday teas which in the past have not been held later than April. This feature will be carried on way into the summer Mrs. Richard F.

PimpIss Source
 of Great Danger Nav be Means of Absorbing Disease Germs in Most
 Unexpected Manner.

The research laboratory of The Swift Specific Co has collected vast amount of information regarding the spread of blood diseases. In thousands of instances the most virulent types have been the re- suit of coming in contact with disease germs in public places, and the apparent ly insignificant pimple has been the cause. It spreads with astonishing ra- pidity, often injecting the entire system in a few days.
 It is fortunate, however, that there is a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly with such q condition, and thanks to the energy of it's producers the famous S. & s. may not be had at almost any drug store in the civilized world.
 This preparation stands alone among specific remedies as a blood purifier. It is somewhat revolutionary in it's compo- sition. since it accomplishes all that was ever claimed for mercury, lod1deS, arsenic and other destructive mineral drugs, and vet it is absolutely a purely vegetable product There are more cases of artic- 1Ilar rheumatism, locomotor ataxia, pa resis, neuritis and similar diseases result ant from the use of minerals than from disease germs direct. These facts are brought out in a highly interesting book 1 compiled by the medical department of The Swift Specific Co.,, 127 Swift Bldg, Atlanta Ga. It is mailed free, together
 with a special letter of advice to all who are struggling with a blood disease. i Get a $l OO bottle of s. s. S today of ! your druggist It will surprise you with its wonderful action in the blood.

The orchestra furnished some extra good music last night and the whole show is certainly a good one. A lit tie girl speaking of the dogs said, Aren't they cute little dears," and she is surely right They dance ex :remely well and look very funny in some Of the costumes especially the one in the hobble skirt Judging from the way they play their parts the Madam must train them by kindness rather than the whip.

A note and package, papa, addressed
 to you and me, 'Tis a little box of shamrocks that
 grew beside the lea. They were blooming once. dear pana
 upon your fathers grave Who gave his life in AS. his native
 land to save. The sainted earth around these roots
 St. Patrick blessed of yore. He banished snakes and crawling
 things from lovely Erins shore They bowed their leaves when the
 Shandon chimes, echoed the coun-
 try round, Where colleens fair. with unsulied
 names, everywhere abound. Thrice blessed plant symbol of love,
 the blessed Trinity. Father, Son and Holy Ghost, beloved
 by you and me Long may you bloom on that sacred
 isle, the home of martyred many. Who died for their God and their
 country's sake with few regrets,
 if any,
 Save that they had but a single life
 to place on their country's altar. With unclOuded brow and fearless
 mien, they gazed on the hang
 mans halter. The blood they gave was not con
 gealed, nor shed to a thirst for
 fame.
 It bore good fruit and as the years
 
 roll on, we'll bless each hero's
 name. And Taras Harp from it's slumbers wake and thrill the world once more, As it did in ages past and gone, the good old days of yore And the flag of green will be soon unfurled. calling the exiles home To that Verdant isle with it's sea kissed coast, from which we will never roam.

GOVERNOR ASKS
 AN ACCOUNTING
In Special Message to Leg islaturc Requests Sta e Examiner Be Instructed to Make Thorough Audit of Prison Books

Governor Hunt wants an account ing of the state prison. He wants it done under legislative direction. He wants it done by the state ex- amner He wants the examiner to make a written report of what he finds there aI.,l to submit such re- commentators as may to him seem best in the premises.
 Once more the governor has taken the wind out of the sails of his op ponents There have been conflicting and contradictory statements com ing from both the members of the administra ton and the opponents of the administration in connection with the claim that was made that the system that has been in vogue has been of great saving to the state The administration friends have taken the governors side of the controversy. while the friends of the active opposition have taken the other side. Both sides have figures.
 The proposition had advanced so far that rum0r was pretty rife that even though the prison investigation was held some time ago. there would likely he another one in the near fu- ture ordered by the legislature in order that tine figures as they ac- tuany exist on the prison books might be made known This is where the governor came to the bat yes terday In q special message to the legislature yesterday his eXcellency asks for the investigation in the fol lowing words:
 To the Senate and House of Re presentatives. First Legislature of the State of Arizona.
 Gentlemen-In view of the general interest recently evinc-d in the Ari- zona State Prison and in order that | the members of your honorable body
 may be accurately and fully apprised i of all details pertaining to the husi- | ness mana cement thereof, l respect ! fully request that the First state Legislature of Arizona, now cOnven- l ed in special session, shall instruct 1 Hon. w. II. Plunkett, the state eX- aminer, to begin immediately and
 conclude as soon as possible a i thorough examination of the prison accounts. the result of which shall | be set forth in q written report to- i gether with such recommendations i as he may care to present. Very 1 respectfully.

ASKS MONEY n
 PRINT REPORTS
Governor Transmits Com munication From Board of Control for Funds to Publish Certain State Documents

Among the other matters that came | up for attention yesterday in the legis- lature, and attracted considerable at tentiOn because of their prominence. was a communication addressed to the governor by the secretary of the board
 of control and by him transmitted to i the legislature. It asks that the re- ports of many of the state officers which were valuable as state documents cannot receive the wide publicity their importance demands because there are no funds with which they can be pub lished
 This calls to mind the report of the state auditor as submitted to the legis- lature at this session. The report of the state auditor was ordered printed by the legislature as a state document The attorney general however ruled this could not be done and it was abandoned.
 In nearly every other state the re- ports of the various departments of the state government are printed as state documents. Another matter came up along his line. and that is the reports of the mine inspector A special ap- propriation was necessary in order that the report could be printed for general i public circulation.
 The letter printed below shows the 1 state board of control has taken d wise ! view of the matter and asked for the 1 printing of all the reports that have no l appropriation for their printing as the | reports of some Of the other depart 1 ments.

FLOOD-SWELLED EBB TIDE
BLOCKS LINER IN HUDSON
The Celtic, Despite Nine Tugs,
Unable to Land Passengers
Until Current Changes.

The first effects Of the flooded districts
in the northern and western parts OF inns
state to be noticed here were felt in IN"
North River Yesterday. when the White
star liner Celtic. from Liverpool made an
effort 10 warp into the dock at Pier 60
against a fun cbb tide. Captain HANDLE
ton. who has been in the New York SER
vice for many years. said he never en-
couptered a tide as strong as that which
flowed south Yesterday.
He started up from Quarantine at 6 30
n. m. and steamed slowly against the tide
while discharginG his mail. At 6 10 a. m.
no was abeam the pier Stout manila
hawsers were carried over TO the south
side Of Pier co. and nine tugs pushed on
the Celtic. but she did not bulge
For two hours the Celtic strained upon
her hawsers. several Of which broke with
a loud report when the pressure became
TOO heavy. Meanwhile the nine tugs, tug
ging AT the rate Of $50 an hour. kept at
the task until they had earned $3.50. with
nothing 10 show for their efforts.
Meanwhile her ! .292 passengers. who
had been aboard for ten days, grew un-
easy over the delay.
After a consultation between Captain
IIambleton and Captain Luckhurst, the
port captain of the line all efforts at
fighting the tide were abandoned. The
celtic was held until slack water when
she got in with difficulty.
