when the weather made il actually nm.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the day. Otcourse there were a good
many days which a weather observer
would describe as cloudy, ana some
that were 'showery; but during the FIVE
months (trom November, 1895 to Nav,

we did not have brilliant sunshine al

than Egypt. anywhere north of Luxor
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
1.-The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood fires
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but it
is never prudent for a stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world Ii seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the arr of the
great Sahara i'll northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai. in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than anv part
OF the valley OF the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.

"The man who goes TO any consider

southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns otcorrespondings size in Penn
svlvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find community OF ten thou
