 Los Angeles. Cal. June 4th 1901. To the Territorial Board of Equaliza tion, Phoenix, Arizona:
 The reason why return for persona property is fifty thousand dollars less this year than last is that last year we had on hand new and old material fol laying track. making improvements. ir excess of that which we had on hand this year, to an amount equal to the difference in the assessment. The ex- planation should have been made when the return was made. Matter Is abso- lutely straight and right and no deduc- ton made for anything that We had this year, which We had last year. but for material disposed of prior to this year, deduction is nal

Secondhand shoe stores are found IN
the poorest quarters Of the city. and
near a secondhand clothing store The
proprietor is generally a cobbler, who
occupies his time mending shoes, either
for bis own customers or some other
shop. All sorts and sizes Of shoes, re.
presenting the fashions of the past ten
years or longer, may be found for al
ages aud both sexes. They are kept
cleanly blacked. Many Of these shoes
are from ash barrels and garbage boxes,
having been discarded as past the worth
Of mending. In the spring, when the
thrifty nairon sets her house IN order,
q harvest of shoes is gathered ly tue
ragpickers. who send them to the sec
ond.hand SHOPS. As long as shoes are
repairable on the uppers they are Of
service to the secondhand men. who
patiently patch and mend them and
make them worth selling. Most Of the
customers Of the secondhand shoe
shops are thrifty persons who have fair
incomes, but are saving money for some
purpose. and do not disdain 70 econo-
mizo by buying second hand articles.
The cost Of shoes is one Of the heaviest
burdens to poor families. Old clothes
may be handed down from one genera
ton 10 another. or made over, but the
shoes require cash outlay al the time,
and the amount Of shoe leather that can
be stamped out by healthy Youngsters
is appalling. Money is undoubtedly
saved by buying secondhand goods, the
price Of which are low Ii is almost q
rule that the price shall he only q triie
more than the cost Of mendinE. Twenty
five cents q pair Is not 40 unusual pri1e.
A dollar a pair is q large price There
is always o steady trade in secondhand
shoes among pedilefs. They eagerly
bargain Tor old shoes as they travel
through the country.

The talk about the overwork aud un-
derpay Of many sorts Of laborers tempts
a thoughtful person to take a rather
critical attitude with regard to bis lux
uries. As enjoyment is easily spoiled
by the twinge Of reminding conscience,
which insists that the pleasure has been
secured through the unduly painful toll
Of another. But at last one delightful
extrayaganoe is entirely free from this
talnt Of the primal curse, says an ex-
change. Flowers have no clinging as
sociations Of unhappy workers in
squalid surroundings, but call instead
to the minds Of those who know them
the most oontented class Of manual la
borers TO be found il the world.
Among a good many florists and gard
eners whom I have known. cannot re-
member a single dissatisfied or pessim-
istic one. They are always a little
pathetic to look at, because constant
stopping makes round shoulders one Of
the marks Of the trade, and their gen
eral effect or unprosperousness is height
ened by their prevailing indiherences
to personal neatness. Indeed, their
fondness for the soil IS almost always SO
great that they are not ct all troubled
when an astonishing amount Of it ad-
heres to them; and merely to say that a
gardener is a better fellow than he looks
expresses very feebly the virtues Of the
calling.
Aud the interest these men show in
their work Ny gardneTs have an al
most maternal fondness for their plants.

Almost every one has made his lest
about the pr0neness Of doctors to disa-
gree. the one prescribing exactly an op-
posite course from that ordered by an
other. but not every one has ha1 an op-
poriuhity to conduct such an expert
ment as was made by the late Baron
Lutz, formerly Prime Minister Of Ba-
varia
The baron was once severely wounded
in battle ia both legs. The wound in
one leg was much Ike that In the eother.
Il struck him that here was a chance TO
study the Ways Of the surgical profess
sion aud beguile the long hours Of his
convalescence. He accordingly called
in one doctor. and gave him charge Of
his night leg. but told him nothing
about the wound in the other. and then
called in another surgeon for his left
leg. keeping him similarly in ignorance
about the wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted q very different
mode q treatment. but both wounds
healed 81 about the same time. When
the baron's legs were quite well. be de.
rived . great deal II amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti-
fyiug them with questions about the
way each had treated his leg.
