sort of confidence beaming in the
business mans eyes at all time,
and it is nothing unusual to see a
boot-black smoking a two-bit
cigar or a lunger blowing his nose
on a twenty dollar bill. No one
has that far away look peculiar
to broke man in Phenix. All
seem to be humming to themselves
"If haven't got there, | mighty
soon will" Here you can eat
shrimp till you curl up, Holsters
till you walk backwards, crabs till
yolI-but that's all right and
sure enough fresh eggs till you are
ashamed to look a hen in the face.
Governor Hughs we found on the
swivel peg dishing it up to that
fellow who made some irreverent
remark about the meek and lowly
Messiah. The Governor was the
crystalizcd quintessence of journal
istic urbanity-not profanity-and

Being full of urgent duties up to
the collar button, the Governor
was powerful glad to say goodbye,
met O'Brien Moore. After
what I had heard about him, when
ushered into the sacred precinct of
the sanctum sanctorum, | naturally
took off my antiquate sombrero and
passed it reverently between my
legs. He did not look so God like
and unapproachable after all, so /
gathered courage and shook hands,
and found O'Brien after all to be
regulation newspaper man, socially
as well as every other way.
One of the finest features of Tue
son is the Elk hall, which would be
a credit to any city on the coast,
especially as regards its inter-
ior decorations. Tucson is game
old town and will ever be a source
of attraction, not only to the tour
ist, but to the investor as well.
