Prisoner Altogether Too Deliberate for
Life in Arizona.
Arizona Judge (to defendant In an ;
assault and battery case)—You say j
the complainant called you a liar and
horse thief at least a dozen times be- !
fore you knocked him down, eh?
Defendant—Yes. sir.
Judge—He said you were a coward
and quitter?
Defendant—He did.
Judge—All right. I'll let you off on
the assault charge; but—don't be in a
hurry, mister—I reckon I'll have to
fine you jest about $50 for not knock-
ing him down sooner! The sheriff
will take you in tow and see that you
cough up the dust before you pass
out—Illustrated Sunday Magazine.
SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash—Threatened
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg-
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.
"About twelve or fifteen years ago
1 had a breaking-out, and it Itched,
and stung so badly that I could not
have any pei.ce because of it. 1 liree
doctors did not help me. Then I used
some Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Oint
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and
began to get better right away. They
cured me and I have not been bothered
with the itching since, to amount to
anything. About two years ago I
had la grippe and pneumonia which
left me with a pain in my side. rIre *
_• ment ran it into my leg, which then
Bwelled and began to break out. The
doctor was afraid it would turn to
blood-poison. I used his medicine
but it did no good, then I used the
Cuticura Remedies three times and
( cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.
Hennen, Milan, Mo., May 13, 1907."
Filial Devotion.
A southern congressman tells of a
darky in a Georgia town whose best
quality is his devotion to his aged
parent.
Once the congressman asked Pete
why he had never married.
"Why, boss," explained Pete, "ISe
got an ole mudder. 1 had to do for
ter, suh. Ef I doan' buy her ilioes an'
stockings she doan't git none. Now,
boss, you see ef 1 was t' git married
I'd have t' buy 'em f nmh wife, an'
dat'd be takin' de shoes an' stockings |

Oklahoma Levy V 2 Mills—The
state board of assessors have made
a slate levy of 1*4 mills to cover the
expenses of the state government fo;-
the nine and a half months from state-
hood to June 30, 1909. The total bud-
get for that period aggregates $1.-
752,210.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the light
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces- j
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great-
er strength than other makes.

bo well in my life."

pressing-down pains. I could not sleep,

graph tolls in Oklahoma are cut to
a flat rate of 25 cents for ten words,
with 2 cents for each additional word,
day rate, and 1 cent, night rate, to all
points within the state, by a proposed
order signed by the corporation com-
mission. The order also requires ev-
ery telegram to show the time at

include all charges for weighing, load-
ing and unloading, which have hithei-
