But the amateur psychologist says
counting sheep Is old-fashioned and
Impractical now. The trouble was. he

themselves solely to the sheep. they
would imagine q whole pasture, with

Chinese Fossil Teeth.

An European investigator has made
singular collection OF fossil teeth
from drug stores In various parts of
China. where they are sold under the
name of dragons teeth and are valued
for their supposed curative powers.
Upon examining them 1t was found
by this investigator that they are the
remains of many species Of extinct
animals. such rs the ancestral forms

PROBLEM IF THE NEEDY OF CITY IS
 SETTLING ITSELF

The problem of the needy Mexi- cans in Phoenix and vicinity is grad ually settling itself, according to Miss Christine Gilchrist, superintendent of the Associated Charities Work is steadily opening up in the cotton fields and on the ranches and employ ment is gradually being found for the many who have been out of work for so long, Miss Gilchrist states.
 Many Mexican families have left the city for other localities where em- ployment has been found and from a total of more than 500 applications for aid received at the Associated Charities in June the list has steadily dwindled until at the present time the situation is approaching a condition far more satisfactory and which is being wells handled.
 Of the list of unemployed which still calls upon the Associated Char ities for aid, many may be classed as regulars and will always be depen- dent, it is stated. With liberal aid the Charities can easily handle the situation. Salvaged food will be vel comed and can always be well placed among the deserving. Clothing also is needed.
 Indiscriminate charity,is hamperins the work of the Associated Charities to some degree, Miss Gllchrist states Almost every one of these people who have been aided by merchants of the city and others, it is declared, have been found to be individuals who have declined proffers of employ ment made them and prefer to live in that manner.
 But on the whole. difficult situa- tion has been we'll handled and the end may be said to be in sight.

BUGGY OVERTURNED, . OCCUPANTS UNHUR7

Mrs Brown, living at Seventeenth and Jackson streets, and her year. old baby escaped without scratch last night although the buggy in which they were riding along the Tempe highway near the Arizona Packing plant was struck and over turned by a wood wagon driven by Antonio Ramon, a Pima Indian from the Salt River reservation. Mrs. Brown, with the baby in her arms. was thrown to the pavement and dragged several feet by the horse. Ramon, according to officers. did not stop after striking the buggy. and was arrested later.
 Mrs. Brown was moving from her ranch to her home in Phoenix and had several pieces of light furniture in addition to groceries in the buggy. After the accident a passing motorist assisted her and then attempted to stop the Indian, but the latter turned off the Tempe road at Acre City. A half mile south the wheels of his wagon slipped into an irrigation ditch. He was caught by Deputy Sheriff Jim Troutman in the act of unhitching his mule team. Mrs. Brown said she would file a com plaint against him.

Wonders If He'll Settle Down

NYACK. N. Y, May 21.--Mrs. Andy
Fuerlinger intends to find out before
Memorial Day whether Andy is In
earnest in begging her to sell her little
farm near Pearl River and end her days
in comfort with him up in Connecticut.
Shed like to believe Andy, but-well,
this is the way things stand:
One day in 1896 Andy announced that
he was tired of trying to support his
wife and children on S16 week. After
the announcement he sauntered down
the road and never came back until
about two weeks ago.
He sauntered back up the road few
days after his seventy-seventh birthday
and his wife's seventy-fourth. made her
a present of watch and locket, lis
tered with some surprise to her ac-
count of the antics of his latest grand
child, and then submitted the PROPOSE
tion that Mrs, Fuerlinger sell the little
farm and >poin him in Connecticut.
He said he'd come back Memorial
Day for her answer, but Mrs. Fuerlin-
ger hasn't quite decided yet whether
Andy was telling the truth when he
said he made every effort to find her in
the twenty-five years of her absence.
For she was right ON the little farm
supporting the family all the time.
