bv MYSTERIOUS Fire.

Miss Albertine Roth, OF SO First Ave
nue., sat before a west window In her
home yesterday evening, ust as the
sun was sinking behind the jagged sky
line. she was stitching at bathing
suit.
Suddenly little spiral of fame shot
up from her lap. She leaped to her
feet; but before she could cry out her
whole dress was afire. She was lying
unconscious with the charred threads
of her clothing clinging to her body,
when Patrolman Harley, Of the fiitn
Street station, arrived.
Nothing else in the room was burned
The lace curtains which hung nearby
were untouched by the fire, as was the
bathing suit on which Miss Roth had
been working. The only theory the

fFrom . stat Correspondent Of Tho Tribune
Plattsburg, N. Y, July 1.-The rock
les are back in Plattsburg, physically
worn ont and mentally thinking about
their lot, for to-day they went through
their cruelest day of soldier life They
thought they knew something about the
rigors of military life before, but to-
day, after their army taskmasters
drove them for fifteen miles over hard
stone roads under tho hottest OF suns
at the rate of three miles an hour, and
then told them that they had done only
within five miles OF what regulars
would have TO do in a forced march,
they began to feel there was more
militarism than they wanted to learn
by frst-hand experience.
Some of the rockies were so tired
when they got to camp that they lay
down on the grass and refused to pitch
their tents until they had eaten, which
was contrary to all the rules. Inc
spirit of mutiny spread when they
found they had 20 wait three-quarters
OF an hour for dinner, and even then
soma Of them refused to get up and
pitch tents.
Officially, the regiment Is still two
miles away from Plattsburg. But the
swarms of rockies in the town streets
tonight, in the hotel bathtubs and at
the cafe bars qucncsn- slN-day
thirst show that the pup tents out on
the state roads are deserted village.
The space between the camp and the
town was covered in a forced march
of taxicabs which piled back and forth
necessarily until practically the whole
command was transported back to

HE HAD A LOT OF SENSE
BY E. F. Mcintyre

There was an old geezer and he
had lot of sense He started up a
business on dollar eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad brought him three lovely
dollars in a day by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and
little more space, and he played that
system with smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his two
by-four and soon he had to hustle
for a regular store. Up on the
square. where the people pass, he
gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass. He fixed up the win
dows with the best that he had and
told them all about it in a half page
adj
He soon had 'em coming and he
never never quit, and he wouldn't cut
down on his ads one jit And he's
kept things humping in the town
ever since, and everybody calls him
the Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk-why, he was doing business
when the times were punk.
People have to purchase and Geezer
was wise-for he knew the way to
get EN- was to advertise-Associate

MACHINE COMPANY
MUST GET MOVE ON
Col. Harris Afraid That Company Will
Not Be Ready in Time to Get to
Douglas When Needed

Unless he machinery of the newly
organized machine gun company gath
cred up and put into shape by Fred
Wright of this city, does not speed up
a little within the next two days, the
company will find itself out in the
cold, and its place taken by an organi-
cation from Tucson This was the
word given out last night by Col
Harris, adjutant general of the guard.
About a week ago, things seemed to
be looking very fine for the new
company. The only hitch was as to
the election of officers, and this the
colonel managed to fix up with head
quarters at Douglas. Word at that
time was given out by Wright that
his company would be on the way to
the front within a few days The
plan Vas to hold drills each night and
have the organiza ton whipped into
shape in the shortest time possible.
This plan says Col. Harris has not
worked out according TO schedule. and
now lie is afraid that he will have to
look elsewhere for his machine gun
company.
The regimental organization also
calls for a headquarters company, to
do clerical work and other routine
duties about headquarters This has
! to be organized within the Rext week
or 50, and an attempt will be made

After Long and Painful III
ness, Former Territorial
Treasurer Is Called by
Maker; Was Well Known
in Arizona

E. Z. Kirkland, former territorial
treasurer died yesterday at ST. Louis,
Mo, of cancer of the liver of which he
had been a sufferer for several years.
Mr.. Kirkland, accompanied by Mrs.
Kirkland left for the east about ten
days ago, intending to go first to Elk
celsior Springs, Mo, but his condition
was so bad that a sister met him at
Kansas City and took him to her home
in St. Louis.
1t was the intention of Mr. kirkland
to spend the summer and fall in the
east. He expected to visit Former
Governor Brodie in New Jersey and
later to go into Canada
Mr.. Kirkland was about fifty-five
| years of age and had resided in Ari-
iona for nearly forty years. He was
first employed at the Vulture mine
where he conducted a store. Later he
engaged in the cattle business in
! Kirkland valley. When Governor Bro
! die was appointed to office Mr. Kirk
! land was named as territorial treasur-
er and he held that office not only
through that administration but also
through those of Governor kibbey and
/! Governor Sloan until the admission OF
1.-THE territory to statehood. There were
few men in Arizona more widely known
and none was more highly esteemed

GIANT BOYS CHRISTMAS.

+ Once on time there was a littl
T giant boy who lived near the edge o
/ Glantland One day In the woods h
4 had met little lost boy from Man
land. The little boy had been out Il
the woods looking for Christina
/ greens.
Dear, dear" the giant boy said
would you tell me what you mean b.
ChristmasT
SO the little boy from Mainland tolC
him all about Christmas aud SAINT,
Claus, and the little giant boy though
Christmas was fine idea.
But we don't have 1t here" he said
Il wish we could get Santa to come
to visit the little boys In Giantland."
"Oh, that's easyn' replied the LITTLE
lost boy. Just write letter to Santa
He lives at the north pole. He'll be
sure TO come to see you then"
Then the little lost boy took the road
through the woods that the giant boy
said led to Mainland and he was never
seen around there again.
That evening the little giant boy told
his father and mother about Santa
He also wrote note to the old gentle
man asking him to please come down
their chimney that Christmas
Santa was pleased when he got that
letter, but when all the other young
giant boys and girls began writing to
him he was a good deal worried, be.
cause he'd never visited Giantland and
felt that the toys which he made for
children of ordinary size would scarce
~ do for giant children.
However. Santa made up his mind he
would do the best he could
On Christmas night he stopped his
sleigh on the roof of the giant boys
house. When he saw the big chimney
Santa Claus was almost tempted to
turn back
He managed to scramble down, but
when he saw the giant boy had hung
up his mothers stocking instead of his
own he just put his pack on his back
and started up the chimney again.
The pack full Of toys would scarcely
have filed the toe of the stocking.
The little giant boy was angry when
he got up and found the stocking empty.
There, now" he cried; cts all
humbug about Santa Claus You see,
there isn't any Santa Claus after air.
And all the other little giant boys
agreed with him, for Santa never came
back.
