From the earliest times the office of
the sheriff of Maricopa county has
been the lodgeroom of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Prevaricators until
an honorary membership and an abil-
ity to shine in it came to be regarded
as a necessary qualification for sheriff
only a little less important than the
ability to get enough votes at the con-
vention and the polls, says the Arizona
Republican. Sheriffs have usually been
represented by proxy In the meeting
of ths association and the proxy has
always been some deputy, generally
Charlie Slankard, who as a prevarica-
tor has always successfully held bis
own against all comers. There was
some apprehension that Sheriff Stou:
would not fill the bill. He was sup-
posed to be too matter of fact. Billy
Moeur and Billy Williams were not be-
lieved to be any more able liars than
the sheriff, and Captain Hi McDonald,
ss an outside deputy could not be ex-
pected to attend meetings of the as-
sociation. Still, in a pinch there was
the ever-rellable Slankard to fall back
upon. But Sheriff Stout yesterday
proved that he didn't need any deputy
prevaricator. An old settler who had
lived in the valley longer than any-
body was telling at the sheriff's office
yesterday of the driest season the val-
ley had ever experienced. There had
been nothing like it before and nothing
since. None of his hearers had ever
seen anything so dry. He couldn’t tell
them how dry it was so they would
comprehend. Sheriff Stout was re-
minded of one very dry summer within
his residence in the valley. He had
just embarked in the cattle business
and had a herd of yearling calve*
There was; a little water on his ranch,
but no feed within ten miles. Every
morning he need to turn the calves out
so they could go to the nearest range
where there was home grass, but no
water. He accordingly hung a canteen
filled with water around the neck of
each calf. One day he went out to the
range to see the condition of the grass
which, he thought, must be getting
short. When he got there the calves
were feeding quietly on the bank of
a dry water course. All at once they
were stampeded and wildly scattered
In every direction, bellowing with fear.
The sheriff went to see what was the
cause of the commotion and found It
to be a huge catfish which had climbed
up the bank and got into a fight with
the calves over the water in the can
teens.

All maimer of extravagant expressions are possible when
a woman’s nerves are overwrought.
The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes,
“ball rising in the throat,” violent beating of the heart,
laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing
the arms about), frigntened by the most insignificant occur-
rences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and se-
rious derangement of the female organs.
Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which
must be regarded as a symptom only. The cau/;e, however,
