8 THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN: SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1903. f n TEMPE C. G. CLIPPINCER, Mtf. Miss Guess Anderson. slster of Mrs. Dr. Moeur, arrived yesterday morning from Brackett, Tex., for an extended stay. Daniel Curry of Wickenburg' and well known in Tempe is confined to the hos pital in Phoenix on account of serious illness. "V. D. Tanner of Phoenix was a. busi ness visitor on the South Side yester day. The-Misses StaufTer and Ullman and the Messrs. Griffen and Schmidt ' pie nicked at the "hole In the rock" yester- day- I. Postmaster Hodnett transacted busi ness in the capital city yesterday. Rev. C. C. Black of Phoenix will oc cupy the pulpit at the" M. E. church South this morning. Epworth league at the church as usual, following which Ilev. Mowre, the pastor, and his congre gation will unite in the Union gospel services at the M. E. church. Mrs. Krouse and children of Seneca, Kas., who have spent the past winter guests at the Manley residence, 'will leave this evening for their home. John Weisner and wife of Mesa were the quests of Tempe friends yesterday Those who wandered through the last Paris exhibition in its earliest days were amused to see the following legend wherever the paint was still j wet: "Beware of the picture!" It did pot seem to occur to the bold transla tor that "the French word "pointurs" and the English "picture" were not necessarily the same thing. It was a well known German clergy man, addressing an- English-speaking congregation in Berlin, who threw his audience into convulsions by fervently saying at the end of his speech, "God kipper your worthy pastor!" which ! reminds one of another gentleman of j the same nationality a professor in i Berlin who, when bidding "god-by" at the station to some English friends, startled them by faying, "Farewell! Good voyage! I expect you will be jammed from de danger." Of course, the well meaning man "hoped" his friends would be "preserved from dan ger" during their journey, but his way of expressing this wish was not quite happy. According to the rendering in an Indian Bible, the command, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." assumes the startling form, "Do no Justice, lest j Justice be done to you," and a French j lady raised f doubt as to her sanity j when one day recently she ordered a ' waiter to bring her a bootjack (tire-j none) instead or the turbot she had set her heart on. But. after all, the English of the COWARDLY BLOODHOUNDS A Man Who Had Strange Influence ; Over Fierce Brutes.

MISTRANSLATION Humor Furnished Unconclonsly by Foreigners Speech. Foreigners, however painstaking they may be, frequently make very laugh able blunders In the translating of the English language. The result is that they often lapse Into quite uncon scious humor, which makes the situa tion even more absurd. For example, the gentleman who was responsible for the following paragraph in the columns of an English paper published in Ger many, was, no doubt, very innocent and well meaning, but he certainly conveyed quite a false impression when he wrote "The bishop of has left England for New York, pursued by his wife." What he meant to say was. no doubt, "accompanied" by his wife; but the picture suggested of a grave and right reverend bishop fleeing from his spouse was as far removed from fact as could well be. A NARROW ESCAPE. Correspondent's Allusion to the Here after of a Congressman. There was once a well known Wash ington correspondent who made a great success of sending special arti cles about the personal pecularlties of prominent men to a large syndicate of Sunday newspapers. For years he had been making and Indexing scrapbooks. and it was his practice to get most of his facts for his special articles from these books. For example. If he wished to write about the beards of great men he had only to dictate an introduction to his stenographer end let her copy the rest from the pages indicated aft;r the word "beards" in the Index. One week he undertook thus to treat of the tobacco habit as related to men of national renown. Some of the Items in his scrap books were, of course, sev eral years old, but the stenographer put them all in just as she found them. Among them was th statement that "Congressman ti stopped smoklnjr a year ago." In a few days a letter came from the editor of a paper in thu district former ly represented by that congressman. "Thunder, man!" it said. "If I had printed that letter of yours I should have been hooted out of the district. Congressman L died two years ago. What do you man to intimate by say ing that he amoked for a year after tbat?" I think that bloodhound can hardly be .called cowardly animals, yet I thoroughly frightened three of them in ways tht were both surprising and pe culiar. " While engaged In the removal of an old telegraph line in the south I came to a ole near a kennel to which was chained a bloodhound, who manifestedJ a great desire for my anatomy, but fortunately his chain would not per mit him to reach me, although his de sire and anger were unabated as I as cended. When I removed the last, wire the pole, which had become decayed under the ground, gave way and I saw, to my horror, that I would be thrown In front of the kennel an literally into the Jaws of the enraged dog. who, I ex pected would attack me before I could escape, but the apparition of a man coming down through the air astride of a telegraph pole was too much for the canine. With a howl of terror he made a plunge which parted his chain, and h? bounded over the fence and disappeared in the distance, yelping as if expecting another attack from some, aerial monster. ' Some time after this I accepted an invitation to visit General F. at hl-j ; beautiful country home near Atlanta. As I did not arrive nt the hour I wan expected there was no one to meet me i when I left the cars in the early even- Ing at the . little station near my j friend's home. I thoroughly enjoyed ! the walk in the fresh evening air, j knowing full well that 1 would be very welcome upon my arrival. So occupied ' was my mind with pleasant thoughts j that it was not until after I had en- ; tered the grounds that I thought of the 1 general's caution to be very s.ure not j come in the evening .without notify ing him, as he kept two bloodhounds, : which were allowed' the .range of the j grounds fcoifi darkness to daylight. 1 and saying if any one attempted to enter during those hours' that he would surely get hurt. He had been com- : pelled to adopt this means to check : the depredations of thieves. About the time I thouht of my direction I heard t trie dogs approaching in the darkness. ' To retreat would be impossible. To '. call for help would be useless, as no ' one would hear me. So I folded my arms and waited and scon I could dls- tlnguish their forms as they approach- . ed me, moving slower and slower, side by side, until they were within a few feet of me, where they remained per fectly motionless for a few moments, which seemed hours to me, when each one raised his head high in the air, give a dismal howl, turned about and disappeared in the darkness as fast as their legs could carry them. The general was much surprised when I reached the house and at once inquired how I had escaped the dogs. I remarked that I bad not escaped them, but that they had escaped from me. I then related my experience, which surprised and puzzled him very much, and I thought he was Inclined tu question the truthfulness of all of it. He said that as far as he knew I was the only person who had entered the premises without help since they had had the dogs, and he had many stories to relate of "their watchfulness and prowess. . When we went out on the porch the following morning the dogs were sound asleep on the ground near by. Being disturbed and looking up they saw me. They acted terrified, gave the same dismal howl as on the previous night and disappeared as quickly as possible, nor .could they be Induced to come near me during the two days I was there. We were unable to account for their strange actions, but that I had In somj way, thoroughly, frightened them then was no question. Correspondence Los Angeles. Times. PRIVATE JOHN ALLEN TALES Two Told of Governor DocKery and Two Others. NEW POLITICAL SLANG. Standpatters, Sawdusters and Insur gents Are Now Active. Each seventh year or thereabouts there Is a new crop of political slang words, just.as there are other seventh year crops, says the New York Sun. The' goldbug, the cuckoo, the mug wump, stalwart, featherhead, half breed, repudiator, wildcat, cure-all, re visionist and goo-goo have passed gen erally as political adjectives of descrip tion in use, and they have been repla-.--eu by other adjectives which either have a new meaning or describe a new condition. A standpatter Is a' political leader who finds existing conditions satisfac tory for his party and does not wish to embr.. on any change. The origin ator of the expression was Henator Hanna, in an lnterwlew in which he advised his fellow republicans of that state, quoting the poker phrase, to stand pat. A sawduster is a candldatet or aspir ant for office who presents the outward appearance of greater popular strength or deep conviction, but who, once sub jected to a serious test, proves to be of no account a man of sawdust, who only needs a puncture to be exposed. This word had Its origin in an Inter view at the democratic convention at Saratoga, which nomlnatetd former Comptroller Coler for governor. Com missioner Kane, of Brooklyn, one of those who opposed him, declared him to be a sawduster. An Insurgent Is a member of a p-1-lltlcal party In a legislative body who votes against its candidate or its nifas urcs, wnlle declaring that he is stl'l a member of the party and has no sym pathy with its party opponent-". In the couth the term lily-white has come into new significance as describ ing a republican who not only rejectJ the nomination of colored men on party tickets, but opposes the participate. :i of colored electors in party organisa tion. Among the socialists a kangaroo is one willing to combine with the voters of another party. v o 1 . ONE MAN'S WISDOM. ring There goes a man worth J3. (W0.090. and he made every dollar of it in trade.

Miss., a member of the government commis- (slon of the St. Louis exposition, did not figure to any great extent in (the cere j monies of dedication of that enter- prise, but he' was there all right, for !neveral good stories of his invention or ; experience have 'bc-en brought back to '.Washington, says the Toet. It was at a mile amnc-r given 10 Aisxar.nsr Dockery, governor of Missouri, that Allen flashed some wit at the expense of the guest of the evening. "I met an old farmer out on the (rounds today," remarked Allen, "and he seemed to be very well Informed about affairs pertaining to Missouri. Finally we got to talking about the boodle stories of the Missouri legis lature and the fact that the.narre of Lieutenant Governor Lee btcume In volved In thorn. " 'I am glad that my old friend Dock ery Is not mixed up In any c thoco things,' I said. " 'Oh, you needn't have any fear on that score.' replied the old farmer; 'Dockery was always mighty clever In covering up his tra ks.' "Then." continued Allen, "the dis cussion turned on the governor here and the success he had achieved. " 'He had a war record to start with or he could not have got along in" Mis souri.' I raid. " 'Well,' remarked the old farmer. 'Dockery didn't have much of a war record. To'ard the end of the war he Joined a company of home guards with the stipulation that the company was not to go out of the county ugless the enemy came in.' " At another time Private Allen told a story of Tupelo. "The wife of a shrewd old darky of my town died not long ago." he said, "and In making ar rangements for the funeral the old fel low went to the ticket agent and in quired the copt of a round-trip ticket to Birmingham and also a round-trip ticket for a corpsa. "You want u round-trip ticktt for yourself, but you . want only one way for the corpse,' said the agent. " 'See be'ah, boss,' said the darky. 'I knows what I'se about and what I want. 'My old Sal done had a lot o' kin folks at . Birmingham and dey all wonts tcr Eee her befo' she's buried. Now. I ax tcr fin' out if it's be c heaper fo' me ter take old Sal up tcr Birming ham and back 'an it'll be ter feed a lot of dem Alabamy niggers fer a week dat'll come to de funeral.' " "What are you doing for the exposi tion?" was a query addressed to the private by a friend. "Not so very much." answered Allen, "and om of my best efforts miscarry. I went down to Arkansas to get the legislature to make an appropriation for5 an exhibit. When I arrived at Lit tle Rock a Fort c reception was ten dered me by former residents of Mis sissippi, a gieat many having come across the river Into that state. Well, the next day they got the two houses together In Joint, session to that I would rot have to make the soeech twie. I remarked upon the gratitude I felt for the honor done me the night before and said that while I appreci ated it, I could not, as a loyal Mlssis ipian. but regret that so many of her sons had left her to become rerldents of Arkansas. 'Mississippi,' I said, 'Is a great state, with many resources and capable of the highest development. I am sure If these former residents - of that commonwealth now living in Arkansas had remained in Mississippi and stood trial they would have been acquitted by the Jury.' It seems," con. tlnued Allen, with a show of regret, "that there was a county treasurer who had defaulted in Mississippi and a sheriff that had got away after making a birr sale, who were members of the legislature, and they took my remarks personally. On account of their efforts the appropriation was not what we expected." v " - -o STEPPING-STONES .

The wages paid .are very satisfac tory to those employed. Mr. Frank M. McClure asserts, in his article on "The Beet Sugar Industry,"in the June Pear eon's. In 1900, for example, nearly J1.G0O.C00 were expended in wages la America to those who worked In the beet fields and in the beet sugar fac tories. The larger per cent of this amount went to unskilled labor. Th? exact amount paid to technical work ers was $356,675. The figures for 1902 will undoubtedly show some X3.000.0a paid out In wages.
