of kyrene. Along in the time of reli- able history Cyrene became the great city of Carthage and by the ruthless Roman, was eventually leveled to the earth and the plow run among the ruins.
 Mesa-Is simply the Spanish for "table." So named from being situated on table-land.
 | Lehi-The name of one of the abo- riginal Mormons.
 'HELLo, Susie."
 Hello, papa"
 He was an elderly, professional gentle man; she was the mother of several bright eyed children. They met on Monroe street.
 As caught the greeting I wondered if Phpnix' air and sunshine were not the real fountain of youth for which Spaniards hunted so fruitlessly centuries ago. Would the three-score English father greet the mother of his grand children with the careless jollity of young pater-familas coddling his first two-year old? Would the Boston fogs permit such vertebral unbending? I fear not The land of mud and mist, of snow and wearing storm, stiffens the aging heart. Men and women grow old in spirit as well as bodily. The grand father there, of seventy, cannot say to his daughter of thirty-fve, "Hello, Susie," and she feels no youthful spirit to reply, "Hello, papa"
 Only in far away, sunny climes like Arizona, does the heart continue peren- nally green like our valleys infinite fruit trees and sing in chorus with the \ irrigating streams thereof.
 SIDEWALK encroachment, is the bane Of every town. Officials don't like to needlessly incommoLe business men, and yet the latter ought to remember that pedestrians, too, are equally net tied by what prevents convenient pass age along the. streets. Now, in one direction some blacksmiths have with old wagons and rubbish taken up sidewalks and large portion of the corner where two main streets meet. In the opposite side of town builder has piled bricks and barrels and other barri- cading materials on what was before a footpath. In other cases some little Care would have removed each obstruc- tion. Will these and like offenders give heed to friendly warning?
 
 PooR prisoners, what should be done with them? The law pretends to assign them counsel. In practice, however, it is generally the unhedged, inexpe- rienced, easily rattled attorney who is appointed to present their defense. A sharp prosecutor easily works in inn proper testimony and, by noisy objec- tion, rules out evidence that might con yict. What is to be done? Able counsel can't afford to defend for nothing. Callow sheep-skin holders are incompetent. How would it do for the State to appoint a defending attorney, as 1t makes pro- vision for prosecutors? Would not justice to the helpless poor be more adequately guaranteed?
 HE is matter of fact draughtsman who deals with angles mathematicaly regular. He don't dissipate. Yet he did prescribe Mesa wine for one thing, and that was his morning nausea, on rising. 'T only take half wine glass;. said he, "but it prevents all that sense of approaching sea-sickness that used to bother me invariably, when I got up." The Curbstone saunterer suggests that the remedy might possibly prove cura- tive to chronic cocktailists who think they must have stronger, alcoholic stomach opener.
 CHURCHES are supposed to lead in every upbuilding enterprise. They send out missionaries and glow with the iervor of their savage reclamatory work. And yet l notice pepper trees dying alongside of our most active Phe- nix churches. Simply because no Christian brother will give them water. 1 It can't cost much, so little that such neglect seems well-nigh criminal to me. All winter long and through the sum- mer their green leaves have delighted every eye. Their shade is free to every body and everything. The birds are beckoned to their branches and join with worshipers in their songs. No one, however, seems to care that the green is fading out of their leaves and | that shortly they will standforth, with cred, naked, dead.
 To me this neglect is like passing child in the desert, who has fallen down in the hot sand and is dying from thirst.
 "Oh," exclaims pious deacon, in holy horror, "we'd never leave child to die that way"
 don't know, MT. Deacon, inasmuch as you did it not to the least of Gods creations, you might even neglect His immortal sngels.
 I NOTICE one effect of the Exclusion Act very plainly. The Chinese wash men are as independent as icemen. They rip your clothes, charge two prices and don't seem to care whether school keeps or not. Whats the matter with the Phoenix steam laundry? Its failure last fall is said to have been due to care less and dishonest management. Sure s-x
