ORIGIN OF ARIZONA
 APETRIFIED FOREST"

The "Petrified Forest" of Arizona.
 really a series of petrified forests, lies a short distance south of Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe Railway. There are four forests" included in Government reservation called "Pet- rified Forest National Monument" :" created by presidential proclamation in 1906. The name forest" is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in Triassic time, the age of reptiles, &C., cording to the United States Geolog- ical Survey, Department of the Inter- for. The trees were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk Island pine, now used for in- door decoration. Doubtless they grew in nearby region and after falling, drifted down watercourse and lodged in some eddy or sand bank. Later they were buried by the sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. Their conversion to stone was effected by gradual replace ment of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedony, depos- ited by underground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has biven the brilliant and beautiful brown, yellow, and red tints which appear in much of the material. The sand and clay in which these trees were buried were after wards washed away. Some of the tree trunks are 6 feet in diameter and more than 100 feet in length. In the first forest there is a trunk that forms a natural bridge over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overlying clay and sand and then, following crevice, worked out the channel underneath. The length of this log is no feet, and the diam- eter feet at the butt and l 1-2 feet at the top.
 The petrifed woods are beautiful objects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to a thick ness of 0.003 inch or less and placed under the microscope they show per fectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct, though now they are replaced by chalcedony By studying the section F. H. Knowlton, of the Geological Survey, has found that most of these araucarian trees were of the species Araucarioxylon arizonicum, tree now extinct. It is known to have lived at the same geo. logic time also in the east-central part of the United States, where the re- mains of some of it's associates have also been found. These included other cone bearing trees, tree ferns, cycads, and gigantic horsetails, which indicate that at that time the rainfall of the Southwest was abundant.

gang, and professed total abstinence Last summer, while one of the mer- chants of the town was getting a shave, the barber suddenly grabbed him by the nose with a death grip with the other hand plying the brush
 "Let go my nose" yelled the vic tim.
 But the barber chung all the harder lathered steadily on, and exclaimed:
 Cant. If 1 did I'd fall down."
 With the help of two or three others the customer finally released his nose; but the rough handling the barber got in the fracas, coupled with the bad whiskey he had imbibed, set him on a rampage. He cleaned out the barber shop and then used it as a fort, firing from it at everyone who ventured in sight. Spillane soon found out what was going on and started for the shop. The barber fired steadily on him, but Spillane kept right on going. The bar ber's ammunition ran out. Spillane broke in the door and arrested him.
 Weren't you afraid ?" someone af- terward asked the sheriff.
 "W-well, I w-was t-tol'rable well skeert," Spillane said. "B-but I if. figured he was too d-drunk to h-hit me. W-when he c-come at me inside w-w-with a razor in each h-h-hand, was skeerter yet. was so d-d-dam- ned skeert that I jes' t-t-took the razors away f-f-f-rom him."

 George w. Harben, assistant coun- ty attorney, is grumbling, or one of his teeth is, because of Georges gen. erosity to science a few years ago. George had thirty-three teeth. A dentist, examining his teeth one day, told George he ought to have that thirty-third tooth removed, as it was sure to give him trouble later. Though the tooth was not bothering him any, and never had, George let the dentist pull it, only to find afterward that the cuss wanted it to send as a cur iosity to the Rockefeller Institute. But removing the tooth exposed the one next to it to additional wear and It has been giving it's owner trouble at intervals ever since.

A COMPLIMENT THAT
 WAS A REAL ONE

c. R. Arizona" Edwards and Mrs. Edwards are chortling with glee at the recent very high compliment paid them. And it was worth gleeing about. When Arizona" arrived at the Weatherford the other day, it was whispered about that they were bride and groom, or were just about to be married. Mrs. Hall, the host ess, gave out meager information when she was importuned to divulge their identity. A short time after wards, having business at the office of the superior court clerk, they wan dered in casually and inquired for MT. Rees. The young lady clerks smile grew wide as she sized them up and without making any definite in- quiry, slipped the cover off her trusty typewriter and started in on a blank headed marriage license" Mir. and Mrs. Edwards let the joke ride as far as it would go and were nightly pleased with it all, and when they closed the door on their way out, heard the young lady clerk having a good hearty laugh at her own ex- pense.
 Mrs. Edwards said: q just thought it was splendid to be taken for a bride again, for have daughter as large as 1 am and three more children as we'll; we have been married for thirteen years. It was a fine compli- ment and I enjoyed it so much"
 As for us, dunno, one look at Mrs. Edwards would excuse one for the mistake. As for Arizona" he was all dressed up and few people had seen him without his tourist" out fit on.

Now the Bottomless Pit has been proven by two intrepid explorers" to be nothing but a ziggy-zaggy hole that runs down into the ground about 400 feet.
 The Doctor Cooks" of the Bottom less Pit probably can explain how a little hole only 400 feet deep can in a few days absorb several hundred acres of water that in some places is twenty or more feet deep, as it did year ago last spring.
 The intrepid explorers" of the Bot tomles Pit seem to be all that only because, like Dr. Cook, they found someone gullible enough to swallow their yarn.
 Judge J. K. Jones says that the worries some people have are as un- necessary as the argument he once heard. A lot of men grew very much excited over the question, "Can a man marry his widows neice. One lawyer present waxed very eloquent over the marriage laws of every state in the Union, every country in the world,. civilized and uncivilized, and had cited the affinity tables of every church, and even the legislation of Lycurgus down to that of Brigham Young, when young man who had been sitting quietly in corner for two hours announced his intense de- sire to be informed where the deuce a man was when his wife was wid- ow. Then the discussion cooled down and a dozen or more excited contro- versialists took a drink of water.

 ''It always pays to seem honest, anyhow" Ben Doney philosophises. "Once l bid in horse at auction, be- cause the auctioneer very frankly an- nounced that the animal was blind in one eye. After I had paid for him, I asked the auctioneer, since he had been so frank, to tell me if the horse had any other defect. None,' he re- piled, except that he is blind in the other eye, also."

Miss Ida Wetherill, of Kayenta, told Mir. and Mrs. D. S. Roome and MT. and Mrs. Frank Keeffe, of Flagstaff, recently of an example of the prov erbial English sense of humor which she observed last winter at the State university, Tucson. A young English girl student was asked by some of the other girls if she could tell how to make a Maltese cross. She decided that she couldn't. Whereupon she was told that the best way to make a Maltese cross was to pull its tail.
 The English girl joined in the laugh that followed. But she seemed thoughtful. A few moments later she interrupted the general converse tion by asking:
 'I say, won't you please explain to me again how it is possible to make a Maltese cross with bullets tail ?"
 Out at Kayenta, probably the same as elsewhere in Indian mission schools, the pupils have way of sub stituting words with which they are more familiar for others that they should use. Some recent visitors were hugely amused to hear them soulfully chanting, Underwear with Jesus we may safely go," and, "there will be starch in our crowns" One of the Kerley boys at Tuba City, when told about the starch, said evidently relig- ion was pretty stiff proposition at Kayenta.
 One of our prominent citizens was driving in from the west few weeks ago and gave man lift for a few miles. The latter had bottle of good hootch on his hip and not only gave the Flagstaff man a drink or two but when he got out at Maine, left the bottle in the seat. A few miles far ther on, another man asked for a lift. He climbed into the car and saw the bottle. The Flagstaff man, know ing his passenger was stranger, to have a little fun with him, told him he was bootlegger. The passenger at once tried to buy few ounces for himself, but was informed that it could be sold only in wholesale lots and that if he wanted to buy less than 50 gallons he would have to get it from retail bootlegger.
 The Flagstaff man let his passen- ger out when they reached here and went at once to his home, but the passenger beat it to the city hall as quick as he could and told City Mar shal R. l.. Neill all about it, at the same time turning in very good description of the car and it's owner. The officers began search for the l booze car at once, both in town and on the roads to the east; but got no trace of it until the next day, when the car and it's owner ambled down the street past Neill and the latter recog- nized both from the description and tumbled to the joke that had been perpetrated by the former state sen ator.
