We did that very thing the other night and ruined a perfectly good nights sleep digging into the pockets of our pajamas hunting for shells.

 A little colored boy came into Loren Cress' tailor shop the other day and asked for a job. Loren told him the only help he needed just then was a bookkeeper. Asked the boy if he could keep books.
 "Yes'm," said the boy.
 "What system do you use?" Loren asked.
 "Any system you want me to-" said the boy.
 "You don't understand" said Loren. q mean, how will you keep them?"
 "Oh, here, or at my house, jes' whichever way you want me to-" said the boy.
 Loren put the youngster right at work. First he sent him to The Sun office after some striped ink. He was told that we were just out of it, but was sent to Switzer's where w. D. Draine said they didn't have any either, but told him to go over to Dave Lewis house and get rubber honey comb, which could be made into good striped ink. Dave said he'd look up a rubber honey comb and send it over, but told the boy he had better run over to the Flagstaff Lumber com pany and get piece of pork siding for him. When the boy got over there, E. H. Wheat, to whom he stated his errand, said he couldn't get the pork siding until next day, but would the boy go over to the Normal school and get pair of squads?
 President McMullen, however, told the youngster he couldn't think of letting any of the squabs go until graduation time, and that was long time yet. He asked him who sent him, and the boy told all about his various errands. Dr. McMullen told

the boy he thought such an energetic little fellow should have better job than keeping books in tailor shop and asked him if he wouldn't rather work for the Normal school. The boy said he would, so Dr: Nc Mullen said all right, he'd give him an errand to do right away, and handing him 8 button told him to take it to MT. Cress and have him sew a pair of pants on 1t.
 On the way back to the tailor shop the boy studied the matter out and be- gan to believe that some one was hay ing good time at his expense, maybe several people. So when he got back, he told Cress he guessed he'd resign from his job and to please pay him his wages The half-dollar he got made him change his mind about re- signing, and he still feels himself a regular employe at the shop.

George Atterbury was telling Harry Henderson, Jim Rupe, Dannie Camp bell and George Bailey the other day about a son-of-a-gun he used to as- sociate with some in New Mexico. The man, on a weeks celebration in AL buuueruue, went broke and had to bor- row money several times. He later got draft for $500 from home and began paying up. He owed one man a hundred and another fifty, both of whom he paid. When 1t came to George, who had loaned him twenty, he said: 'No use paying George; he's my pal"
 After George came to Flagstaff, the man, who had sold out his business and run through his money, wired here for $50. George paid the 80 cents on the message, read it, then decided it was worth spending 80 cents more, and wired back: "I didn't get your message: wire again." That was the last he ever heard of his old pal.
 Jime Rupe, the Maine rancher, still prefers mules to automobiles as cer- tain and sure means of locomoti0n. He says that during the last heavy rain when he was driving to Flagstaff, he ran across lady tourist whom he had to help out of the mud. He got started before she did and called goodbye" !" In few moments she passed him and shouted goodbye" A mile or 50 farther on he passed her while she was changing tire and called "good- bye" Presently she passed him again and it was her turn to call goodbye" About three miles from Flagstaff, Jim caught up with her again, stuck in the mud, and with a cheery "good- bye," drove past and on into town.
 Jim showed a lot of self-restraint in telling the above story. He could just as well have made out that they passed each other several times more than he said they did,.
 George Atterbury says when Les Hart first got car he was driving it down long hill. The car got to going pretty fast and Les, forgetting all about the brakes, pulled back on the steering wheel for dear life, yelling "Whoaw at the top of his voice. When he finally reached his destination he jumped out and walked about half a mile over toward his cattle outfit, then suddenly turned and hurried back to the car. When he got there he scratch ed his head, looked at the car, and muttered: Damned if didn't forget that I didn't have to hitch it, which I didn't have to do."
