Chihuahua, which as short a time
ago as 1911, was referred to in Terry's
Guidebook to Mexico as "the largest
and richest of Mexican states," has
been terribly impoverished by five
years of chronic revolution and bandit
ry. The guerrilla fighters-and they
are all that in point of fact-have lived
off the country. They have got COM
paratively little out of the mines,
though at intervals they have extract
ed a tribute on ore mined, but they
have driven off great herds of cattle,
looted stores, wrecked industry.
Reptiles and Dogs.
A great variety of insects and rep
tiles, including lizards, horned toads,
tarantulas and rattlesnakes, abound in
the desert. Conspicuous among the
birds Of the region is the chaparral
cock, which attacks and eats rattle
snakes with unbridled gusto. The des-
ert has its own remedy for snake bites
1t is a plant called the sneezewort
The Juice of its leaves contain a strong
alkaloid, which serves as an antidote
for snake poison. Snakes have Bit
ter dislike of it, and it is trick of the
Indians to irritate them into biting it,
with the result that they quickly die
in commissions.
One Of the interesting products of
this region is the Chihuahua dog,
which resembles the sleeve dog Of
China and the chin koro dog of Japan
They are sometimes called butterfly
dogs" Usually they weigh from one
to three pounds, and are often no
larger than a large rat. Pure-bred
specimens are distinguished by de-
preston about the size Of pea in the
forehead and by the possession of five
nails on each foot. Before the tourist
tide set into Mexico these dogs could
be bought for five dollars each. Now
they often sell for hundreds and even
thousands of dollars.

Cricket an Ancient Game.

By the middle of the seventeenth
century cricket, whose age seems cast
in the shade of the unknown, had
achieved for itself a recognized place.
1t was one of the sports which writ
er of the times Indignantly declared
he had witnessed Openly and pub
ickly on the Lords day" However,
the real rise of cricket did not begin
until the eighteenth century. Then
men of quality began to favor the
game. They organized teams and
matches, and even royalty took note
of it and became its patrons. The
Marylebore club, which was formed
in 1887, remains to this day the final
court of appeal on all matters relating
to cricket.-London Mail.

ELECTION RETURNS
 AT HE CARNIVAL ' HUI s'i"s'

Thousands thronged the Carnival grounds last night because it was Queens night. But they took in the shows just the same. The weather WAS ideal carnival weather and when Phoenix weather is up to the record people always come out.
 Saturday will be memorable for two reasons. It will be Indian day in the afternoon at the Carnival grounds and election day in the city all day. This has been prepared for hy the Moose and the election re- turns will be posted at the carnival grounds as fast as they are made known and announced to the crowd. In addition to it being election night, it is also Mardi Gras night and fun will run rampant for sure.
 This years carnival has been diff fcrent from many another. The shows are all of high order. Much better in fact than those which are ordinarily shown under the carnival tent. Fl w. Campbell has gathered the biggest and best that can be ob- tained west of the Mississippi and he proposes this year to make a record. He has Winteted in Phoenix at a cost of S25000 but his shows now dem onstrate just how well carnival at fractions all new and clean can look.

 The president personally did not comment on the action of the sen ate, prefering to gain more in formation about the preliminary sit uation and centering his attention on the expected action of the house.
 Administration officials generally, however regarded the outcome as satisfactory and pointed to the fact that Senator Gore had introduced an amendment directly opposite to his original resolution and then had voted to table his own amendment as clear indication that he real ized his battle was lost and that the president had won.
