bekahs' convention at Tucson they came to creek in Black Canyon, near the town of Canyon, which they had to ford. They noticed that just be- low the ford lot of stones had been placed across the creek, ostensibly to afford foot bridge, but in reality to back up the sand to make it harder for the cars to get across. The result was that nearly every car that tried the ford got stuck. Hidden in some trees short distance away was Mexican with team.

 Jimmy Lewis says he can't under stand why the law, as recently inter- preted to him, provides that when a home-owper builds fence around his house, if he builds it low enough for his neighbours chickens to fly over can be fined $2,000 for each one he kills. while if he leaves the gate open and they come through it he can kill them for nothing.

 Dear Sir:
 q seat myself with pen in hand to write you a few lines to ask you why in hell you went into this passel post business. You have played the devil with me. I took the contract to carry the mail three times day, three and half miles, for $319 year.

 "Yours truly,
