Spring Poets Lament.

Dear Mister Editer: Are I to get my poem printed or are l not? Last year I Were in the running as I got onery mention for my effurts. Seeing they was going to be another contest this VT. l wrote a bran new poem. It is called Flour in the spring" and be- lieve it will get the dough. But it seems like every time you get a good poem you put off the poetry number? tS this so the poets will forget what they wrote so you wont have to pay nuthinS for the poems when you do print them? Well there aint of you actin that away for I kept a copy of mine so you might as well print il right away and give me the prize. Here's one poet you cant fool.

Where To Look For 1t.

H. R. Patrick last night replied to an inquiry in these columns to what had become of Central City which, ac- cording to the Forty Years Ago To- day department of The Republican had been laid out by him, saying that he was quite willing to disclose what had become of that incipient metrop- oils and where it might yet be found by those so minded. It was, he said, one of his many buried cities, await ing the researches of antiquarianS, emulatorS of Dr. Schleimann, the dis coverer of Illium, and the patient dig gers after Pompeii and Herculaneum. Central City as laid out by him was the property of the Vulture Mining company. He founded il at the re- quest of the owners of the company who thereafter changed their minds and found that they needed place to put the tailings from the mine more than they needed a city. Thereupon, though he had laid it out as recounted in the chronicles of forty years ago, the mine e-owners laid it out more effectually and permanently. But Mir Patrick feels sure that it will be found in it's original location, under the tons and tons of tailings.
 The fate of Central City, said Mir. Patrick. was of piece with that of most of the attempts he had made in Arizona to perpetuate his name and make it household word. He can recall but one monument to him that persists and bequeathes his fame as civil engineer to poSterity. That is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. his boIdest and bost audacious achieve ment. That, he added. was glory

 That's pretty fat" said the lady. "l never eat fat. Can't you cut it off"
 No, ma'am. said the butcher. If I did the waste would be our fault.
 How much are they?" asked the lady. A moment later she looked hor- rified when told: Fifty cents pound"
 My. that's high" said the lady. For answer the butcher showed her some pork steaks-more lean meat, less fat meat all just as good meat, but only g. cents pound because people don't demand them.
 No I'm afraid of these cheap things" said the lady who thought chops at 90 cents a pound too dear. T must always have the best
 Everybody does" said the butcher. That's why the cost of living is high. Everybody won't take anything but the best That means the waste of things really just as good, and higher rrices all around.
 I'm in a hurry, please said the lady. She got her chops, paid for them and walked out
