 capitalists and agents seeking mining investments. To this he largely at-

 THE EFFECT OF STRONG DRINK.
 There was a ludicrous scene in the
 yard in the rear of Sam Seip's cigar
 store Wednesday in the person of
 member of the janitorial department
 of Phoenix morning paper. He lay
 fast asleep in lair which he had ar
 ranged with painstaking care. His
 pillow was made of tobacco stems
 which had kindly been contributed by
 ths cigar store, and he was surrounded
 by circle of five bottles partially
 filled with wine, and a swarm of flies
 kept guard over him. His face was hardly recognizable for large red spots
 of what seemed to be blood. Some one had poured indelible ink over his face, which subsequently, looked worse
 when he tried to wash it off Sober persons looked on the scene with pity
 thinking he afforded an example of the demoraliz:ng influence of strong drink. When the sleeper awoke he wal unaware of the rCseate hue of his p6ysiOgnomy His mind drifted upon another subject. ''I been drunk ever since Monihon was nominated" he said between hiccoughs, and begorra I'm a dimmocrat. Monihon's all right" he explained as he pointed with pride to the five bottles of wine and he proceeded forthwith to drink again to the health of Honest Jim"
