 It was twenty-seven years ago that MT. Patrick came to Phoenix from Iowa, via California, which was about the only way one could get here with any assurance that he could retain his scalp after the journey. He made one trip back to Iowa nineteen years ago but did not go to Des Moines. The year 1878 was pretty early in the his tory of Phoenix. and it was also some distance back along the calendar even by the liberal and carless way in which Mir. Patrick counts time. though he is still a young man and an orna- mental exhibit on the matrimonial bargain counter.
 No surprise will be elicited by the statement that MT. Patrick came here broke, for almost everybody who came west in those days was broke or will ing to be in an effort to start some thing. But he never intended to be quite so much of a financial wreck as he actually became, for instead of starting life here on q dead level he was really occupying a hole in the ground. The only direct communica- ton between Phoenix and the rest of the world was a blackboard stage line from Yuma, via old Maricopa Wells, near what is now known as the Gila crossing. At Yuma Mir. Patrick found himself with a little more money than

Races differ much in their modes of seeking
death as in their ways of enjoying life. A re-
cent investigation into the causes of sudden
deaths in the United Kingdom showed that
hanging there is the favorite method of COM

most used is shooting. The German who tires
of life is most liable to stab himself The mel

kills slowly by strangulation. "A stab through
