In sixty days we have hit the weather forty -el^ht times, which we submit is doinjj decently well.

Those newspaper chaps In the east can't imagine what a' burden would roll off their backs if they entered the Held of far western journalism. In ev cry. one of our eastern exchanges the editor feels obliged to use the prefix "allege" or "alleged" even in speaking of :i fifteen cent rohltery <>r a knock down on n street corner. When an Arizona editor feels com pelled to resort to that he will hunt for some other occupation. Our* way is straight from the shoolder For instance. <'^glaiii Thompson, our beloved county register, borrowed V10 of us three months ago and agreed to return it next day We don't "al lege" that he is a liar, but we boldly state tlte fact.. It is the same with Major !>avls. We don't "allege" that he is a nuisance and a doadbeat, but we plainly come right out and say so, and if he thinks he can make us chaw our words he knows where to tind us We either say a thing or keep shut about It. and we'd have to bo served with notices of a thousand libel suits before we'd "allege" anything against anybody Passing Sentence on an Egg. "Waiter!" From the table by the window the voice of an elderly gen tleman rose in accents wrathful. "Waiter!" "Yes, sir." replied the much harassed one. hastening forward.
