 That takes away all the interest in the Little Brown Jug"
 If I had hen that laid such eggs,
 I'd put silk stockings on her legs;

 Fred Lusk's conscience is troubling him because of a mean trick he pulled on pickpocket during his recent trip to Chicago. Fred was in crowd on State street, when he felt gentle tug at his watch pocket. He looked around casually and murmured:
 Waterbury"
 The tugging ceased, and Fred kept his gold repeater. J. C. Brown, the newsstand man, pretty near all in from the strenuous business of the last few days, says he would like to take vacation, but don't see how he can manage it.
 Just take your adv out of The Sun, J. C., and then you can easily take a vacation. It's always vacation time for a man who doesn't advertise.
 A lot of our people went to Oak Creek Saturday and Sunday, some for the weekend and few for weak backs.
 Just after Mrs. Jimmie Swinnerton got home from California last We'd nesday she was given a surprise party. Fifteen guests came to stay with her and MT. s. during the five day cele- bration. They explained that they had heard that Jimmie was giving a party" They were Supai Indians, mixed ages and genders-two automo- bile loads. The Swinnertons have a great reputation for hospitality among ern Arizona; nor is it misplaced, for the visiting Supais were well taken care of.
