Twinkle, was beautifully printed and
bound, and a man could read it without
dislocating his eyesight, but the books
We got are illegible and bound in cheap

Half an hour later Mr.. Cribbage
came. Mr. Cribbage always has been
our best fried, and Mr. Curfew owed
him $40 at that writing. He insisted
upon having his money when the bank
opened next morning or he'd have the
law on US, and Mr.. Curfew had to stay
up all night trying to borrow the
money All this trouble came from &C
cepting Christmas presents at the
wrong season, and I wouldn't take
your combined screwdriver and monkey
wrench if you threw in a copy of the
Family herald for good measure. So

/ anthropists of your kind before, and
! they always turned out to be Whited

trouble in this house because Mr.. Cur
few listened to the siren songs Of such
man as yourself.
"He came to our house ond day last
fall, when I was away, and he ex-
planned that he was just aching to
present my husband with a beautiful
book entitled Ten Thousand Ways to
Get Rich ne said his company wanted
a reliable man in each community to
take one of the books as a present
He had inquired carefully, and had
come to the conclusion that no other
citizen of this town was the equal of
Mr.. CurfeW in pTObity intelligence and
integrity Therefore he proposed to
give my husband copy Of the book.
and all he asked was that Mr. CurfeW
would show 1t to his friends, and tell
them where it might be bought.
when 1 returned home nv husband
was reading the book and was per
fectly enthusiastic over it I must ad-
NIT that II was handsome volume,
but from the first I believed that It
meant trouble OF one kind or another
for IN this house we never did have a
jar of ointment without a flv in it es-
pecially when said jar came from an
agent.
That very evening a number of Mr.
CurfeW's friends dropped in to urge
him to be candidate for the school
board next spring, and when they were
done talking politics, and it was settled
that he should run for the office nv
husband produced his new book with
pardonable pride, and the Visitorg
looked through it, and every man said
he was determined to have a copv: and
my husband called up the agent who
was stopping at the hotel, and gave
him the names of the men who wanted
the book.
All went as merry as a marriage bell
TOT Ten Gays or so, and then one night
when Mr.. Curfew was sitting under
the hanging lamp in the parlor. reading
the evening paper, a brick came
through the window and caught him
in the ribs. While I was getting the
poultice ready, and wondering what
miscreant could have been guilty of
such dastardly trick, there was a ran
at the door, and in came Mr. Doodle
who seemed greatly excited He ex-
planned that he organized the move
ment to send my husband to the school
board, but would have nothing mora
to do with IT. In fact said he if YOU
make the race I'll get your scalp and
nail 1t to my barn door. The man VINO
Will beguile his friends into buying
such book isn't a fit man to hold
public office
Scarcely had Mr.. Doodle gone be-
fore Mr.. Twinkle came in, and he was
perfectly outrageous, saying that nv
husbands gray hairs were all that
saved him from having his head caved

Casa Grande Ruins Near Tucson.
Tucson, Ariz Jan. 23.-W. E. Barnes
travelling freight and passenger agent
Of the Southern Pacific &C., has re-
turned from a trip to Casa Grande,
where he went in company with G. E.
Fuller, vice president of the Raymond
& Whitcomb Co., Boston, Mass. From
Casa Grande they went to the Casa
Grande ruins Mr.. Barnes has sue
ceeded in interesting the entire coun-
try in Arizona's prehistoric remains.
HE Raymond & Whitcomb Co. is the
leading tourist concern in America and
next to Cooks, books more tourists
for various parts of the world than
any others. Mr.. Fuller came espec-
tally to visit the Cast Grande ruins
as preliminary to booking tourists
over the Southern Pacific affording
them an opportunity to visit the Casa
Grande, which will be featured in his
voluminous literature which is distrib-
uted in all parts of the world.
Mr.. Barnes plans TO have the old
Spanish mission of Arizona featured
the San Xavier mission at Tucson.
This means much for the southern
route of travel and particularly to
Casa Grande and if the plan is ap-
proved, will result in the building of
a new hotel at Casa Grande.
Mr.. Barnes in conjunction with Dr.
A. H. Wilde, president of the univer-
sity, has been working upon a plan
to secure an appropriation from con-
gress for a complete exploration OF

NEXT MOVE IN MEDIATION
DEPENDS ON UNITED STATES

Niagara Falls, Canada.-On word
from the Washington government
depends the next nov in mediation.
] Justice Lamar and Frederick Leh-
!! mann telegraphed a 2,O00-word re-
port of their conference yesterday
at Buffalo with Rafeal Zubaran and
Louis Vagrera, authorized represen-
tatives of General Carranza in the
!! United States. The general feeling
here that the United States may inau-
;gurate a distinct change of policy
has been produced by the uncompro-
missing attitude of Zubaran and Cab
rera, dispatches telling of the fric-
ton between Generals Carranza and
Villa, reports of rupturcs in Sonora
between Governor Maytorena and
General Obregon and also news of
Constituencies reversals on land
and sea
While mediation thus far has ac-
complished little, the Huerta dele
gates have shown great anxiety to
have the conferences continued. The
serious situation in northern Mexico
stimulated the m%ediators to renewed
efforts to have the American govern
ment reach some understanding with
the Huerta delegates by which at
least the International differences
could be settled. Emilio Rabasa, head
of the Huerta delegation, suggested
that a neutral person be proposed for
provisional president and that the
United States accord recognition to
him.

most unique divorce suits ever insti-

full-blood Sioux.
The plaintiff charges the defendant
with a statutory offense, and has en-
gagged the services Of a white attor-
ney of state prominence to aid him
in establishing the truth of the
charge which he makes against his
wife. The case will be tried at the
next term of circuit court in Buffalo

thus forcing the %challengers into a
third and deciding contest.
Their thrilling PUSHES, both indi-
vidually and collectively in the clos
ing minutes of the struggle, in a des-
perate attempt to change the COM
pleXion of the score, aroused the
100000 spectators to a frenzy. No pre-

err closed under such tense and eXcit-
ing conditions.
When the eighth and final period
opened, the American four was lead
ing by the fraction of a point but
despite their strenuous efforts they
could not hold this advantage. Each
team scored a goal in the eighth, but
the defenders in their anxiety to
clinch the victory, transgressed the
rules by sharp crossing and were
penalized for fouling, putting the
Englanders in the lead.

y Elpaso, Texas.-General Villa,
through his agents here, issued a
general. denial that there has been
any split between himself and Gen
-eral Carranza. Villa said that the
arrest of Caranza officials at Juarez
was the result of a misinterpretatior
of orders on the part of Colonel Or
nelas, in charge of the Juarez garri-
son. 1t is learned, however, that be.
tween twenty and thirty employees
of the Juarez Office We're SEM in a
special train to Chihuahua City, the
state capital, thence to be transferred
to Torreon, where Villa remained.
These men, employees of the customs
house, telegraph office, treasury de.

between Carranza and Villa.
