ARIzoLA AS A sANITARIUM.
A DelirAtful and Health Giving Location


 ted States; yet it is already widely
 known and all over the country in
 valids are looking toward the place a:
 we'll suited for a place of residence
 for health seekers. The altitude is
 145O feet above the sea level and the
 climate is dry and pleasant during
 the entire year. During the months
 of June, July and August the average
 emperature is about s5 degrees, but
 but there is so little humidity in the
 atmosphere there is little or no incOn-
 venience experienced. The heat is
 not oppressive, and during these
 months it is much more pleasant than in the Atlantic seaboard cities.
 This pleasing semi-tropical atmos- phere is probably owing to the sur rounding physical conditions. To the north and east high ranges of noun tains protect the Great Casa Grande valley, of which it is the center, from the chilling winds of the central re- zion, while across the open country to the southwest, balmy breezes from the Gulf of California, not far distant, blow to temper the air and moderate the heat, giving an equilibrium to the climate that cannot fail t0 benefit the eneryated health seeker.
 While three of the summer months are warm during the day, the nights are always cool This is on account of the rari sed condition of the atmoS- phere which becomes instantly cool on the setting of the sun.
 Hence it is always comfortable to sleep under clothing during the nights | of June July and August.
 The fall, winter and spring months oxn be compared with the Italian cline, little or no frost. Flowers bloom during the entire winter, grass green and much of the shrubbery | retains it's foliage.
 It is plain to be seen that such Q climate must be health restoring.
 It is fact worthy of note that many hundreds of people who come here in the last stages of pulmonary recover in a short time SC that they are enabled to engage in business. Many of the most progress i've, pushing and wealthy business men of Southern Arizona, left their homes ard came here as invalids with the hope of dying easily. They would not now die for ten times what they are worth
 As compared with Southern Cali fornia climate, Arizola and it's sur are far superior in every re- ,pect, and such is the verdict Of inyaI- ids who have given both climates an squal trial.
 In the vicinity are many points of interest that will be visited with much pleasure by tourists and health 'eekers. Some fourteen miles away. ,yer good road, are the far-famed Casa Grande ruins, the remnant of treat building which was once the principal structure in city of many thousand inhabitants, the numerous lillocks dOtting the plain around be- ng all the remains Of what were once ubstantial buildings, erected an6in- labited by human beings high in the cale of intelligence and civilization.

SALUTED A WHALE.
Exchange of Courtesies Between n Steam
ship and an Ocean Monster.

Exchange of Courtesies Between n Steam
ship and an Ocean Monster.
Ell Norte is steamship which swings
between this port and New Orleans
with pendulum-like regularity. The
reports of strange marine happenings
which her officers make are about as
uniform. Not long ago she found her
way into the newspapers, when Chief
Officer Benson told about feet OF
phantom schooners which he had OBJ
served riding in the atmosphere off
Cape Hatteras.
The boat got into harbor the other
day with some observations about
whales recorded in her logbook. Capt.
Hawthorne is skipper of the craft, but
he does not come into this story at sill.
The second officer, who will have moth
ing to do with that sort of distinction
which is given by printers ink, says
that Ell Norte was logging along, at
tending to her own business, when a
big whale suddenly appeared directly
ahead and about one mile away. The
locality is given as eight miles south
east by south of the Scotland lightship.
His whaleship, the second officer
said, headed directly for Ell Norte and
was swishing through the water at a
rate that would have been the envy OF
torpedo boat.
There are some international rules
about the conduct of craft that are
about to meet head on, but collisions
with whales have not been considered.
The second officer was therefore at a
loss to know just what to do. The
whale relieved his perplexity by put
ting his tail to starboard and going
sputtering past the steamship He
spouted three times as he went by and
not to be outdone in courtesy, the ship

edgement of the salute.
The whale dived, reappeared again
and then headed Gown the coast, prob
ably to fill an engagement as sea ser
pent off Long Branch. The engines
of FL Norte, which had been slowed
began to sob again and the rest of the
story is not worth printing IN. Y

CANDOR OR KISSES 2

A Mystery That Surpassss "The Lady or
the Tiger"
This story is going to end in a mys-
terry.
/ know this, because like true art
list, j thought it all out before putting
pen to paper.
1t was the evening of Arabella's
birthday; Alphonso, her betrothed, was
with her.
They were very. very happy.
Suddenly bright idea struck Al
phonso.
That is way bright thoughts have.
But am quite willing to be slugged
by them.
Bright thoughts are worth bright
dollars.
But to our tale.
Quoth Alfonso:
Darling"
Quoth Arapella:
Eyes, Darling"
Isn't this your birthday, darlingp"
Eyes, dearest"
We'll, pct, propose to give 90 a
kiss for every year of your age"
"Oh! darling"
They embrace rapturously.
He kisses her seven times then
chortles:
These don't count, for you haven't
told me your age yet. How old is my
darling?'
"Oh, darlingr'
How old is my icIle tootsey woot-
sey?"
Here began great struggle in Ara
bella's mind
She had reached that age when she
wished to be thought several years
younger.
That is likewise the age when an un-
welded maiden most keenly appreci-
ates kisses.
She wanted all the kisses she could
get.
Here, gentle reader, is the mystery
foretold exclusively in our first line.
Did she claim all the kisses TO which
she was entitled, or not?-Truth.

A new idea is to wear the belt loose,
so that it droops to one side, as do the
sailors. 1t is claimed for this notion
that the effect is prettier than the tight
belt, but the truth is that tiny waist
encircled with manifestly loose belt
looks smaller than ever. The most be-
coming belt is a thick, heavy leather
one that is made almost like mans;
indeed she is wise girl who buys her
belt at a mems furnishing place and
suit her waist. Such belt worn loose
is far prettier than the flimsy ribbon
belt pulled so tightly that the threads
stretch and the tilagree buckle is
strained out of line. st. Louis Re-

Healtbiest Infants Are Those Which Are
Not Reclothed Too Frequently.
I know mother who is going to ruin
the health of her baby in her excessive
care for its clean clothes, The poor
little thing never gets to creep over
the floor after the dancing sunbeams
or to kick its dimpled legs in the air in
a vain endeavor TO catch its ten pink
toes. Not n bit of it. 1t is fed at a Ger
tain hour, which is all right, but after
ward it is placed in its crib. where its
long dresses, starched till they crack,
arc Strengthened out as smooth as pill
lowslips, ami there it lies with it's legs
piuioned down by heavy skirts, its
muscles growing fiabby from inaction
and It's b'on! sluggish. If perchance
it is permitted to sit up it is tied in
to high chair and its long skirts drag
down oil its poor little toes till one
would think they would spdout corns.
The thing to do with Il healthy baby
is to have it clean twice day-when
it goes 10 bed at night and when it
dresses fresh about at the middle of
the day The healthiest babies in the
world get dressed in the morning for
all day lust as soon as the child be-
gins 10 Kick and wants to get at its
feet j, ought to be put in short clothes
and put on the floor to work out its
own salvation. Its muscles were given
it to use and it will put them to the
test if you will give it a chance. The
mother who thinks more of her baby's
clothes than she does of its health is
quite likely to have the clothes left on
her hands eternally clean, and it serves
her right, too.-Washington Star.

SLIGHTLY HENPECKED.
Glimpse OF the Domestic Life of the Late
Edwin Booth.


That part of the community who
only knew the late Edwin Booth as
our country's most celebrated actor
would probably have experienced sur
prise had they obtained glimpse of
his domestic life with the second Mrs.
Booth-to have witnessed the meek
ness of manner, you might say, with
which he complied with her sugges-
tons, That last however, is scarcely
the word for the place, as she was usu-
ally in the imperative mood.
The Mrs. Booth refer to was one of
the most extraordinary small and pre-
else of women, and it was difficult for
the observer to discover wherein lay
her attraction for the great actor,
likewise her claim to such absolute
control as she practiced over her fam
lily.
AS an instance of the latter, / may
cite the following, which occurred
nightly and with absolute regularity
at summer resort, where a number
of people, including the Booths. were
passing part of the time.
Miss Booth would probably be en-
gagged eonversing with some of her ac-
quaintauces, MIR. Booth immersed in a

with index finger pointing dranatical-
ly toward the clock, would enrrciate
warningly the single word:
"Edwina!"
Without an instant's hesitation Miss
Booth would bid her friends good
night and retire.
In possibly half an hours tine Mrs.
Booth, in the same warning voice.

book, would regard the small lady an
instant as if gradually collecting him

That thou dost sing?
Or, hath the woods charm for thee
To cause thee sing sweet melody
To flowers that deck thy sloping banks
And lowly bow their silent thanks,
AS thou doth passY
Or springs the temper OF thy song
From what thou doest all day long
AS from thy high and rocky home
On happy mission thou dost come,
To make all green'
Is this the secret Of thy Joy,
Thy moments find rich employ;
BY night by day. in shade and sun,
Thy doing good is never done,
And so thou'rt gladf

Their cold. dead hearts In pathos melt
To help some other struggling life
To win in sins hard, bitter strife,
And wear a crown

Like brook, their richness they must yield
TO rocky glen and wood and field,
To make all green.
just as the flow Of ceaseless, stream
That flashes back each passing CLEAN
And gently laves the grasses feet
And with Its touch makes violets sweet
So fresh and blue;
SO they alone sing richest song,
Who faithful seek, the whole day long,
To lift bowed heads, cheer troubled hearts,
Dispensing words that love imparts,
Like healing balm
Flow on, o brook that runs for aye,
Bringing cheer along thy way;
And may we prove thy lesson sweet
To each embittered life we meet,
BY giving cheer.
