The Map of Arizona

The Tucson Citizens unfamiliarity with the geography of this state has in one instance been damaging to Phoenix and has perhaps resulted in de- touring. to the inconvenience and expense of travellers. much traffic that would otherwise have passed through this city. The Citizen describes as result Of the recent floods the sweeping out of all Wickenburg, and adds The Santa Fe bridge located few yards from the highway bridge went out at the same time, enailing loss of s5OOOO and train service between Phoenix and the north and over the Parker cutoff has been interrupted"
 The Santa Fe bridge and it's approaches was un- touched by the flood. The engineers saw to that when they built the bridge
 The Citizen has been misled by certain local carelessness in speaking Agua Fria bridges It is true that there Santa Fe bridge across the Agua Fria, but when we speak of the "Agua Fria bridge mean the bridge the Buckeye road. Nearby there is the railroad bridge of the Arizona Eastern which did go out and the approach to the highway bridge washed away.
 The result only local inconvenience for the railroad ends at the Hassayampa only few miles heyond. Serious damage to the highway bridge only rendered the road through Buckeye temporarily i'm accomplished that.
 We would recommend to our neghbor the Citizen, a closer study of the map of Arizona the ex- pense of time that would otherwise be devoted to familiarity with the map of Europe. In times like these it is far important for Arzonians to know about routes of travel than to know the precise boundaries of the Czeko o-slav republic which may be changed at any time over night

To my delight, yesterday Kermit, when l tried him on Diamond, did ex- cellently. He has evidently turned the corner in his riding, and was just as much at home as possible, although he was on my saddle with his feet thrust in the feathers above the stirrup. Poor mother has had hard time with Yagenka, for she rubbed her back, and as she sadly needs exercise and could not have a saddle put upon her 1 took her out bareback yesterday. Her gaits are so easy that it is really more comfortable to ride her without a saddle than to ride Texas with one, and I gave her three miles sharp can tering and trotting.
 Dewey Jr. is a very cunning white guinea pig. l wish you could see Kermit taking out Dewey Sr. and Bob Evans to spend the day on the grass.

Oyster Bay, May 7th, 1901. Blessed Ted:
 It was the greatest fun seeing you, and I really had a satisfactory time with you, and came away feeling that you were doing well. 1 am entirely satisfied with your standing, both in your studies and in athletics. l want you to do well in your sports, and want even more to have you do well with your books; but I do not expect you to stand first in either, if so to stand would cause you overwork and hurt your health. 1 always believe in going hard at everything, whether it is Latin or mathematics, boxing or football, but at the same time 1 want to keep the sense of proportion. It is never worth while to absolutely ex- haust ones self or to take big chances unless for an adequa.e object. I want you to keep in training the faculties which would make you, if the need arose, able to put your last ounce of pluck and strength into contest. But I do not want you to squander these qualities. To have you play football as we'll as you do, and make a good name in boxing and wrestling, and be COX of your second crew, and stand
 
 second or third in your class in the studies, is all right. should 6e rather sorry to see you drop too near the middle of your class, because, as you cannot enter college until you are nineteen, and will therefore be a year later in entering life, want you to be prepared in the best possible way, so as to make up for the delay. But know that all you can do you will do to keep substantially the position in the class that you have so far kept and l have entire trust in you, for you have always deserved it.

DRESSING DOLLS AT VASSAR

tBoston Globe)
 POUGHKEEPSIE \. Y. People who have been brought up to believe that college girls are inevitably of masculine type might be interested to know that the students at Vassar col lege are at present ill the midst of a doll-dressing contest. Nor is this con- test new event at Vassar. Every year shortly before Thanksgiving 500 dolls are bought by the Christian as sociation and distributed among the students to be dressed in time sOr Christmas for the children of the sa.- rounding neighborhood. At an ap- pointed time the dolls are assembled by their respective owners and placed row on row for inspection. The best dressed doll is selected and her owner rewarded with a prize.
 This custom has been observed at Vassar for many years. For the last two years. however, it has been omitted, owing to exigencies of war work But now that those services are not needed the work has been taken up again with an added interest and enthusiasm.

SKIPPING THE STOPS

Every time the street stops it expends time and money the passengers time and money. The stops made going down to work in the morning, the longer it takes you get there; the longer the time consumed in hauling load of passengers the more cars and men needed
 The "skip-stop' inaugurated by the Cleveland street railway in effort to quicken running time and reduce cost of service.
 Cleveland is of the few large cities that still have five-cent fares. And the Cleveland railway company is of the few not standing the threshold of bankruptcy. The skip stop paid.
 Of course it makes some persons walk a block farther to get the but physicians agree that walking is fine exercise for us
 The Philadelphia street company instituted the skip-stop And Philadelphia still enjoys the five-cent fare while the company boasts of earning s35000000 this year.
 Sixty-two street car companies have gone into the hands of receivers, and in 3S9 communities riders are paying six to ten-cent fares.
