REFUSE TO ACCEPT "sMITH"
Members Of That Family Have Hard
Work Convincing Strangers That
the Name 10 Real.

1T isn't the fact that Smith Is such
a common name that dislike It," said
Miss Smith. according to New YORK
Sun writer but the fact that every
one who wants to give fictitious
name just says she's Miss Smith.
Every time have to introduce myself
somebody sort of smokers about 1t
and supposes my name is Gugen-
heimer or Cafferey or something else.
Take my sister and myself, for in
stance. We often 90 out together to
the rink or down In the village for
supper.
There's always some nice boys
around who want to dance with us or
skate around couple of times. OF
course, you don't need any official I'M
PRODUCTION these days. and the boys
know 1t. So they come over and In
a little while they're telling US where
they work and their telephone number
and how we look like their sisters,
and all that It's all right, too, be-
cause you get used to that way Of
ter than some funny guys, who try to
hand you a line that they're In the
movies or doing fiction writing.
"Well, anyway, pretty soon, If they
like US, they say, You're pretty
nifty little dancer. I'd like to see you
again. You know all about me, so
tell me your name, will you? Then
when l say Miss Smith, they say
Come on, quit your kidding. That
doesn't mean anything to me. Tell
me your real name
when I insist my name Is Smith,
they say, What's the matter? You're
married Or something
$50 we don't tell our real names
any more. We say we're Miss Cooper
or stuyvesant or something else, and
since we don't look like sisters we
each have to use different names to
be believed Funny, isn't it?'

Inc Be aver.

A family that figures prominently
In the annals Of New York owes the
origin of its great wealth to a hum
BILE but industrious rodent, the beaver.
The same rodent has conferred its
name upon a downtown street in that
city. There survives the tradition
a Beaver brook that once meande
its picturesque way through WHAT'S
now the downtown section.
But the beaver himself Is van
ished species in this country. The
beavers that inhabit the little ponds
in the geological gardens are immi-
grants from Canada.
In these restricted areas, surround
ed by high wire fences, these citizens
by adoption are as busy as were their
ancestors who once ranged along
the streams that watered the woods.

Known by Their Hats.

All the various tribes of Persia are
to be distinguished and recognized by
their headgear. SO, at the capital
Teheran. there is to be seen greater
assortment Of hats and headgear than
in any other place in the world. Some
are picturesque, some are ludicrous.
The Kurds, of which there are 6OO,OOo
in the country, wear a hat when
looks like an inverted coffee pot,
black. bound round with gay-colored
handkerchiefs. That of another tribe
is of white felt, resembling in shape
A preserving kettle. Hats are ex-
clusively the privilege of men. Women
do not wear headcovering.

of Sumatra have what he refers to
facetiously as a playful custom OF
getting rid of their old men. When a
man gets so old that they think it Is
about time for him to tell his last tale'
they put him up coconut tree. Then

Furthermore, and more to the point, everyone likes and respects him. He has lived here many years, is an upright citizen and a real man. He has been justice for the last two terms, and good one. He is connected with the Arizona Csn- tral bank, which means that he is al- ways easy to get at when there is an inquest or a preliminary to be held or some loving couple wants to be made one.

CROPS SUFFER UNTIL
 TUESDAY, NEEDING RAIN

F. A. Chisholm, county agricultural agent, says that previous to the rain on Tuesday night conditions were pretty dry all over the county. Po- tatoes were in fairly good condition. Thefe was some suffering on account of lack of water, but most of the crop would hold out two weeks more, he said.
 In most parts of the county the grain, including oats, barley, rye and wheat was badly in need of rain. The rains that had come were not general over the county, but were what he designated as spotted rains" A general rain will be necessary to pre- vent Q serious condition.
 Range conditions were good over the whole county previous to Tues days rain, which spread several miles in nearly every direction from Flag staff.
