and announced that his client had TAX

Z Cullom could remember that no papers
in this case had passed out of his office;
certainly no fees had been paid and he
was sure that there could therefore

LECTURES ON ARIZONA-A cir
| cular recently received al this Office
! contains a programme of a series of
! free lectures to the people delivered It
| Jersey City during the months of No
| vember and December. One of the lee
| turers was Mrs. Emma p. Telford, who
| appeared twice on the night of No
Vember % on Tent Life on. the Desert -
! illustrated by stereopticon views. and
| again on December IS in Arizona
/ The Cradle and Wonderland of th,.
| New World similarly illustrated The
| first lecture no doubt relates to the life
/ of the lecturer at Scottsdale 1t is to
! be hoped that Mrs. Telford did not in
troduce into her lecture any of the
| stories about the heat OF the Salt River
valley in the summer time with which
/ she amused some of the eastern papers
on her return last spring. One thin,;
! 10 be said of Mrs. Telford that cannot
be said of all the tourists who have
| visited this part of the world is that
she is q good friend of the climate, the
air and the people. That awful lapse
about the heat is therefore unaccounta-
bic except upon the theory that part
of the story had been printed in TIL
Republican as a joke. The rest of II
had probably been told Mrs. Telford
by other practical jokers.
GREATLY TAXED.
