HE WAS SICK.
An Incident of Amateur
 Cookery.
The First Adventure of Three Gen. tlemen in the Course of an
 Arizona Outing.

Tomorrow morning three Los Angeles gentlemen will set out upon a trir through the territory which is intended to include most of its central and southeastern portion and to last all summer. They are c. F. Cronin, for merly state senator of Massachusetts, and two Carhart brothers, members oi a wealthy family of Brooklyn, N. Y. Their outfit consists of a new wagon containing lockers for provisions and covered by an ample canvas. The mo- tive power is supplied by couple of healthy-looking mules. A saddle horse will follow at the end of tether. They will proceed first to Mesa and the Gold field mining district, thence to Flor ence, Casa Grande and Tucson, going north as the weather grows uncomfort- ably hot and making among the forests and streams of the Mogollon mountains in the northern part of Graham county quite lengthy encampment. The boys do not care much whether they find any gold or not. They are out for pleasure and seem more concerned about the sylvan retreats where abound the timid deer and alluring wild turkey than the rock-ribbed home of yellow metal.
 The amusing and interesting experi- ence of these gentlemen may be said to have already begun and story is re- lated of an adventure in Phoenix which may be published with safety on the eve of their departure.
 Among their numerous effects on their arrival was large trunk filled with expensive queensware which so- licitous friends and relatives thought they might need in their outing. Cut glass, china and even costlier material figured in the outfit, which might have been mistaken for sample trunk of a queensware drummer.
 They took lodgings at hotel near the city hall plaza and at once began to acquire information that might be turned to good account on the trip. In one important matter, cookery, all were sadly deficient. A cooking school was therefore established and one of the Csrhart brothers was appointed to pre- side at the first session. He plunged at once into the intricaces of the art and began the construction ot some sort of pudding. all essential element of which was ralsins. The raisins were forgotten until the pudding was nearly done. He decided to substitute eggs and watch the result. A half dozen eggs were broken into the mixture, which had had dime to cool during the discussion.
 The synthesis of the pudding was talk ing place in the hall near the head of the stairway and MT. Cronin, who had been making suggestions and getting sick simultaneously, reeled and fell against the railing of the stairway. The cook caught him by the arm, at the same time retaining his hold upon the handle of the vessel containing the pudding. Mir. Cronin continued to sink into faint and threatened to fall down stairs. In his excitement the cook grabbed at the falling MT. Cronin with his other hand still holding the cooking arrange nent, with the result that the contents of the vessel were emptied into the face, whiskers and breast of the insensible Mr. Cronin, who WAS dragged back up stairs and resuscitated by careless, but vigorous, application of cold water on his face, elegant necktie and polished shirt front. Opening his eyes and surveying the pudding which adorned his whisk- CTS and clothing, he lay back on his cot and whispered languidly, Boys, I must have been awfully sick; the nau- sea was terrible"
