Were you over at that point of
mistaken appreciation where you
could really rejoice In a misty,
drtety, oozy, froozy day? You have
something to lire for. I had more
fun than the proverbial billy goat

It will drive home all

in all the years of my past life put

Phoenix la a city am wheels. There
are more bicycles In this one city
than could be counted In all the
state of Georgia. And It to probab
ly not accounted for by the fact that
the craze' which we Indulged ten

Westerners arc Human.
You have no Idea how near these
Arlzounlana come to being civilized
human beings. They look Just Ike
an ordinary Georgian except that
they probably don’t carry that smile
of contentment that rests on |the
face of every dear consdenced son
of Alex Stevens. This fair was a
pitiful effort—something Uko the
annual excuse that people have for
going to Macon—but it brought
the people. Places come an far apart
out here, and It lb. so seldom that you
get a chance to stick the railroads
for reduced rates that every month-
er's son takes advantage of show
week to visit Phoenix. They were
here from the mountains and the
deserts, the cow hoy with hit lariat,
the sheep herder with bis stall and
the Indian with his papoose, except
that most of them left their lariats
and atafte and papooses at home un
less they were to appear In one of
the wild attractions. For mind
you, there Is no wild west exhlbl
tion he to seen In this day and time
outside of a high fence with a ticket
seller at the gate.
They’re Off.
It may be because there are
thousands of Kentuckians In Arizo
na, or It may he because they have
us Georgians beat to the pole, but
every man, woman and child In this
territory had rather watch a horse
race than go to a corn shucking. It
all looks about alike to me, but peo
ple who aro as good judges of horse
flesh as I am of chicken feathers
Bay that the animals put on this race
track would do honor to'Saratoga.
There were races every afternoon,
and thousands of people were In at
tendance on the speed contests where
hundreds were In the exhibit build
ings. The feature of the races that
seemed strange and at the same
time miraculous, was the absence of
betting at the track. There was no
bookmaker on the Held, and what
gambling there was seemed con
fined largely to hemstitched hand
kerchiefs and chocolate candy.

view .of the tact that It was only this

ilnbles Everywhere .
There Is no place too , sacred for
Pfloenfx Sables. P couldn’t quite
understand the situation when 1 I
first came out here, and heard the
I-mnhers in church trying to talk
In competition to an Infants walls,
i was more or loss surprised when
I went to the opera house to see-
Hrmfet and sat boflfnd a lady with
i* long droned Infant In her lap. But

me. It It because-thoy don’t have
servants to take care of the baby
when mama wants-to go out. Ik Is

have not noticed that they stay- at

No Cooks Here Either.
There are so frfw cooks that un

ly on gas stoves. That saves chop
ping wood and getting up early In
the morning to make the-flre. Wood
costs six: dollars a cord: You have
no Idea bow comfortable you can be
by a gas beating stove.
An Acrobatic Thermometer.
Did you ever Indulge in a long
seance of cussing at the suddenness
of the weather changes In Thomas-
villeT Don’t do ft. I would much
prefer a audden change once a week
than once a day. That Is one of
the blessings of this arid southwest.j
You are so cold about four o'clock
In the morning that you want to
get between the matt re sees. About
one o'clock In the afternoon yon are
so hot yon envy the girl who can
wear a short steered waist. I re
member noticing several days ago
tha^ the range of the thermometer
from four o'clock, one morning, till
one the same afternoon waa forty-
two decree*, and this was not ex
traordinary- The consequence t*
that mort people except coRsmnp-
tives go around with a wheezened
voice and a bottled up nose. The
doctors say “lungers” as they are
called out here, are immune' to the
cold microbe.
The Fangs of Pity.
Tile man whose pity pangs are
brought Into daily action in Phoenix
is a man that is either satiated or
blind. There are hundreds of con
sumptives here both winter and sum
mer, mostly winter- They live ini
canvass houses to a large extent at
night and in day time hang around
the, public parks.. Most of them do
nothing for the past few months but
alt and spit. After that, they either
die or become’hucksters or go home.
It would appear that easily half tho
population of Phoenix are either
“lungers” or “has beens_” It is a
strar mortal who settled hereabouts
unless there was somebody sick In
the 1 family. Before the sick one
iiled, or got well, the rest of the
Bnnily caught the western fever
trad could never recover. It is a
strange malady. I have not suc
cumbed.
In Praise of €hamberl<ttn*s Cough
Remedy.
There is no other medicine manu
factured that has received so much
praise and so many expressions of
gratitude as Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It is effective, and prompt
relief follows its use. Grateful par
ents everywhere do, not hesitate to
testify to its merits for the benefit
o»fbthers. ft is a certain cure for
croup and will prevent the attack
if given at the first appearance of
the disease. ■ It Is especially adapted
to children as it is pleasant to take
and contains nothing injurious. Mr.
E. A. Humphreys, a well known res
ident and clerk in the store of Mr.
E. Lock, of Alice, Cape Colony, South
Africa, says: “I have used Cham
berlain’s Couph Hemeciv to ward off
roup and colds in. my family, r
found it to be very satisfactory and
it gives me pleasure to recommend
