THE ARIZONA KICKER. Some Home Happenings Faithfully , Chronicled by the Editor. I [Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Lewis.] Giveadam Gulch was aroused from its slumbers the other night to see a saloon and poker room damaged to the extent of $200 by the devouring element, but we are too cosmopolitan to let such an incident as that jump the price of real estate. We can't expect always to get the best of an argument and have learned to submit gracefully when Providence seems to be on the other feller's side. Monday last Sing Lee, a Chinaman if HE CAUGHT US UNARMED. ? about whom we had a joke the week before, caught us unarmed on Apache aVenue and put a gun at our chin and made us bold up our hands and render a personal apology. We did our stunt to his satisfaction and hold no grudge g; against him. Colonel Joe Taylor is a cross eyed man, but he never found it out. and his friends never mentioned it until Tuesday last, when he fired fourteen bullets at a Chinaman and didn't hit within a rod of him. r We haven't said anything about the circulation of the Kicker for the last four weeks, but advertisers can send In their favors with the full assurance that the figures are crowding the billion mark very closely. There are times when we hesitate to lie as to exact figtires. / Mr. A. M. Tyler, a shyster lawyer arhf?m wa hflrA denmrneed in these CCl umzis on several occasions, entered our office the other day and got the drop on ns and secured our promise to announce our belief that he is entirely worthy of public confidence as a lawyer and that all stories affecting his 1 reputation as a gentleman are base canards. While we made this promise Tinder compulsion, we carry it out just the same. M. QUAD. The Other Side. "Did you enjoy the circus?'' asked the prominent citizen. "Well, my wife an' the kids might have enjoyed it all right," answered !' Fisherman Dave, "but I ean't say that I did.

Tbe Jordan is tbe crookedest river known, winding 213 miles in a distance of CO. ? Tbe Potomac river is only 500 miles long and in its lower course is rather an estuary than a stream. Tbe highest of all navigable rivers is the Tsangpo, which flows for nearly I,000 miles at an elevation of from II,000 to 14.000 feet. The Indus, the second sacred river of India, is 1.700 miles long. Its waters have always been considered almost as holy as those of the Ganges. Three rivers as big as the Rhine would just equal in volume the Ganges, three Ganges tbe Mississippi and two Mississlppis the Amazon. When free from ice, the Yukon river is navigable for large steamers 1.0C5 miles, a distance mere than twice as great as that from Chicago to New /\_i vneaus. Gees Like Sot Cakes. "The fastest selling article I have in my store," writes druggist C. T. Smith, of Davie, Ky., "is Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds, because it always cures.

Mothers rely on it, best physicians prescribe it and J. E. Kaufmann guarantees satisfaction or refund price. Trial bottles free. Regular sizes, 5Cc and Si. A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY. The Solution Was Original, Though the Result Was Unhandy. "Every time I tell tliis story," a bright society matron remarked, "somebody accuses me of making it up, but it is a true story nevertheless. "Up in the Virginia mountains David end I took a long walk to explore the wild country road near our hotel. Away up on the rough mountain side was a little cabin, and as 1 have a " u??r? most rervent xiuiumi micicsi m ujjv, home life of all peoples remote from cities I proposed that we visit the cabin, with the wayfarers' usual pretext, to ask for a drink of water, in the one room of the small house were the usual furnishings, a few chairs, many dogs lying about, guns on the wall, a high bed in each corner and a homely table spread with homely crockery in the center of the household picture. A plain little woman, worn and aged, but very neat in calico frock and gingham apron, met us at the door and asked us in. while one of the rough boys loungiug on the porch was dispatched to the spring for fresh water. "Instead of the usual mountaineer's open fireplace: with iron crane and kettles, was a surprising arrangement of a cocking stove mounted on a kitchen table. My glance reverted to this curious sight so often that our mountain hostess seemed constrained to explain. " 'You uns ain't used to seein' cook stoves fixed up that way. I reckon,' she said apologetically. 'Pap, he got the cook stove down in town way las' May, and he didn' thir? 'bout the stovepipe, and he didn' git 'nuff to reach up to that there hole in t^e chimbly. so we uns jes' h'isted the cook stove up on that there table till he gits time to go to town and git some more stovepipe. 'Tain't handy to climb up on a cheer to cook, and I wish to the laud pap'd hurry hisself .and .git to town arter that there stovepipe. It'd be a heap handier to kev that there cook stove down on the groun'.' "Of course 'we uns' agreed with the good woman that her complaint was well based, but we praised her cleverness and originality in utilizing the kitchen table. Probably not one woman in 10,000,000 would have ever suggested that way out of the domestic difficulty."?Detroit Free Press. His Life in Peril. "I just seemed to have gone all to pieces," writes Alfred Bee, of Welfare, Tex., "biliousness and a lame back had made life a burden. I couldn't eat or sleep and felt almost too worn out to work when I began to utse Electric Bitters, but they worked wonders. Now I sleep like a top, can eat anything, have gained in strength and enjoy hard woik." They give vigorous health and new life to weak, sickly, run-down people. Try them. Only 50c at J. E.

In the time of the republic the people had their cups of Falernian wine swimming with blooms, and the Spartan soldiers after the battle of Cirrha refused to drink any wine that was not perfumed with roses, while at the regatta of Baiae the whole surface of the Lucrine lake was strewn with flowers.

When the feet are pressed into tight fitting shoes?high heels make the 1 * s j* i?..! pressure greater?oy auumg iricuuu we have a needlelike point formed in the skin, and the greater the pressure the deeper the point will grow. The best preventive remedy known is really to go barefooted, but since this is not considered ethical in civilized life I will give a few simple remedies which may be of some value for the afflicted: First?Place on the corn a piece of cold, moist linen folded several times, wrap it up in dry linen, then go to bed. With this treatment the hard epidermis swells up, and after six or eight hours the outer covering of the corn can be removed with?a dull knife. When this treatment has been followed for three or four days, a small needlelike growth (the corn) can be extracted without pain or bleeding. By washing the feet often in cold water the tender place will heal rapidly. After getting rid of this corn it is well to wear shoes which are neither too large nor too small so as to avoid excessive pressure cr friction. Second.?In place of the linen a crust of bread soaked in vinegar may be applied. Third.?The best application Is to soak a whole onion twenty-four hours in vinegar, then apply one of the layers of the onion to the corn and keep it in place by a bandage through the night. After repeating this procedure a few times the corn can be removed without any trouble. By either of these simple applications this troublesome agent can be removed without any danger of blood poison and "free of charge."?St. Louis Republic. A Fine Liver Cure. Greentille, Tenn.

The color of the genuine ruby is that of the arterial blood, or pigeon's blood, as it is called. It is extremely bard and after the sapphire is the hardest of the corundums. which renders it difficult understand whv the earth so rarelv gives it up. Its tint is as beautiful by artificial light as by day, and its powers of reflection are so great that ancient belief credited it with power of emitting light. The ancients even supposed that it would shine through clothing with undiminished power. If the Baby is Cutting Teeth.
