I saw two youngsters doff their
clothes and Diff each other on the
nose. each other did they slam and
maui and didn't seem to mind at all,
"Oh, my L cried, "Oh goodness me,
how rough, what brutes these mortals
be- Perhaps L ought to call cop and
make the little rascals stop"
But as 1 stood and watched a bit
saw the youths did relish it; nor did
they weary nor complain, each round
they came back fresh again. Quite
often as L looked 1 saw one stop Il
hummer with his jaw. THAT lad"
thought, tho slight and small could
knock yours truly thru the wall if he
did clip me on the chin, but see what
dandy shape he's I'M"
Small wonder then they never fret
and take the beating that they get.
If 1 had health as flush as they why,
I'd be scrappine night and day; I'd call
conductors measly stews and poke
their noses if I'd choose; I'd pick out
pests of any size and pop them on
their ears and eyes.
1t may be brutal to be well and so
it is to hear some tell, but I would
rather be pug and sport a bright
tho battered mug, my health and spi-
rits right, 1 think. than be some poor
anaemic gink, with pallid cheek and
nervous fears to curse my little span
of years.

The fact that Phoenix is flood bound is being forcibly brought home to the business man and the public in general by the realization that about ninety per cent of the United States mail from all parts of the country destined for this city is being held up owing to divers washouts etc. Very little mail matter reached the city yesterday. A big bunch of it was laid out at El Paso, owing to the damage which resulted to the tracks of the Southern Pacific burg and Yuma. It has been plan3ed by the postal authorities to route the mail from Fl Paso north via Albuquer- que, thence west and over the Santa Fe to Ash Fork and down to Phoenix. It will probably be two days before this big bunch of pouches arrives in this city. The Santa F'e had a bad washort near WinsloW to contend with before the train service can be re- stunned over that part of the tracks.

Yesterday evening, the only rail line reported to be in passable shape was the Parker cut of, and it is over this route that this shipment of mail from the coast will probably come
 Down at Maricopa. a huge quantity of mail has been piled up. This will remain at MaricOpa until the bridge on the Arizona Eastern east of Tempe is repaired. If this can not be done in a short time, the bags will be loaded on an east bound train and sent to Fl Paso and routed north around via Albu- querque and into Phoenix over the santa Fe.
