HE DEPARTED GLORY
 OF A TROUT STREAM
Yet Secretary Nichols Found Oak
 Creek a Delightful Place.

Secretary W. F. Nichols returned yesterday morning from an outing in the northern part of the territory. Accompanied by Mrs. Nichols he went first to Jerome and then across the country twenty-eight miles to Oak Creek, famous in former years as a trout stream. the rendezvous every summer of J. Elliott Walker and other Phoenix sportsmen who return sun burned and laden not with trout but weighted down with stories of the trout they had seen and communed with.
 MT. Nichols did not see a trout stream, but he found a beautiful stream in one of the most delightful spots Of the west. Old timers told him of its former glory as a trout stream which remained undimmed un- til a year ago when a mighty water spout near its head waters washed every fish into the Verde and thence on to the sea. None of them have re- turned yet and if the fish commission has installed successors to them they have not yet got big enough to at tract the attention of sportsmen.
 Secretary and Mrs. Nichols drove across the country to the Derby mine managed by George U. Young, and from there they went to Iron Springs, where Mrs. Nichols remained for 8 short time with friends.

Men and women of every occupation overtax the kidneys and suffer daily miseries when the kidneys begin to fail
 Any work that is a constant strain on the back is bound to hurt the kid neys. The lifting, digging and planting of farm work the constant bending over a desk or sitting at a sewing ma chine, working for hours on jarring, jolting wagons or railroad trains; the stopped positions and the reaching, pulling and heavy lifting of a hundred different trades-an these are hard on the back and must wear weaken and injure the kidneys. because the kidneys are in the very part of the back that feels the strain. When the kidneys are sick, every exertion sends a sharp stinging pain through the back or loins and you are weary and tired all the time.
 Doans Kidney Pills have cured thou sands of working men and Women have given them strong backs for theIr daily work. Doans Kidney Pills help the kidneys to do their duty-to eli- minate the liquid poisons from the blood, and to send pure, health giving blood to the muscles and organs. We would sincerely advise every man or woman whose work is hard on the

A FLORIDA FARMER
 LOOKING ARIZONAWARD
Pleasing Prospects in the West but
 the Heat Dsters Him.

George E. Mowry of this city has received a letter from a cousin named R. s. Lillibridge, of Lillibridge, Fla, which is of local interest by reason of the interest the writer shows in AriZO- ma. MT. Mowry has sent him Phoenix papers occasionally and he has prop erly noted the differences between that country and this in respect of certain crops that are raised in each. He de- clares that he will never live in AriZO- na, but that is only because of the heat which evidently he fails to un- derstand. Like others in a humid climate he does not know that ten or twenty degrees of heat make but a small difference if it is dry. and the advantages of this country that seem to appeal to him will probably bring him here eventually.
 He was born in Stratford, Conn, the old Mowry home, his mother being a sister of MT Mowry's father. He is one of a family of thirteen children of which nine are dead, and a number of years ago he moved to Florida, the town he lives in being named after him. Under date of July 20, and after receiving papers detailing the facts of the melon business, here, he writes in part as follows:
 Your letter and the slips enclosed, make us poor Crackers" feel like thir- ty cents. When we ship five carloads of melons in one day we feel as though some one ought to pat us on the back We ship a carload from three acres, but they don't go into melons so ex- tensively here. They do very little in canteloupes. Whether the land is not suitable or something e:se is the req son. can't tell. They do more in veg etables, egg plant, tomatoes, cucum- bers. squashes and beans. These things pay better, expect. Mrs L. says tell you your climate savors too much of orthodoxy to suit her. No wonder the man from Arizona who died, sent back for his overcoat. We thought it was warm down here but when we got your letter, Git was 1:3O p. m.) we went at once to the thermometer and found it S9. We imagined 21 degrees added and whoo! it made us sweat to think of it. It seldom goes above 9S here, at least it has not this summer.
 After personal mention of a nephew in Prescott named 4. L. Hammond, the writer continues: None of the country people here use ice. They use it to ship their strawberries but veg etable cars are not iced. Tell me what kind of land you have in Arizona? Is it sandy like it is here and what klnd of grazing have you? Our grazing land s poor, wire grass mostly. Ca.rle here will not eat hay only a few feed COWS" they call them. They get fat in summer and die like shee1 in win

COURTEOUS COPENHAGEN.

Copenhagen, Denmark is a city of canals and cleanliness-a land of pure delight. free from beggars. organ grinders, and stray dogs. The inhab- itants thereof are born courteous and seem never to have recovered from the habit. When passenger boards ear in Copenhagen he exchanges greetings with the conductor; a gentleman. on leaving the car, usually lifts his hat in acknowledgement of a salute from that official. When a fare is paid the con- ductor drops it into his cash box, thanks the passenger. and gives him a little paper receipt. He offers change with a preliminary Be so good', and the passenger accepts with thanks. If in addition. transfers are required. complimentary exchanges go on indef- inately. Yet there is always time enough in Copenhagen.-Four, Track News.

NO WATER FOR THAT.

An amusing anecdote is going the rounds of San Francisco at the expense of one of the employees of the firm of Baker & Hamilton. Let us call him Smith.
 Smith lost his home in the great fire and the hospitable head of the firm of Baker & Hamilton offered him shelter under his own roof, which happened to be in the western addition beyond the ravages of the flames. Although a very wealthy man, MT. Baker was unable to procure drinking water during the first few days after the fire So he em- ployed two men and a boy with buck cts to pack water all the way from an artesian we'll in the Richmond district, two miles away. The only large re- ceptacle in the house was the, porce- lain bath tub, which was accordingly scrubbed and washed and secured and secured and washed and scrubbed, and the precious water was therein stored. It took two days to fill the tub and MT. Baker paid accordingly
 On the first morning after his ar rival MT. Bakers guest was late in ap- bearing for breakfast. MT. Baker sent a servant to call him. The servant re- turned with a frightened look.
 Did you call Mir Smith?" said the master.
 "No. sir
 "Why not ,"
 He's not in his room, sir.'
 Where is he then" said Mr. Baker.
 Hes taking a bath, sir!'
 The consternatiOn of the house of Baker can be better imagined than ex- pressed.-The Argonaut.

The range is burned over every spring and since the turpentine peoplc have come in they burn early and the cc tile will flock to the burn and stay there and stdrve to death waiting for the grass to grow again. But the range is fast dying out and will soon be a thing of the past. It Is easy to raise hay here and they will have to do it.

When the spells were at their worst could neither sit, stand nor lie with any com fort, and had to keep constantly chang ing my position for the meagre assist ance this makeshift gave When stand ing all day at the desk the lame and aching back was a very unenviable companion, and when suffering with rather an acute attack I noticed an advertisement about Deans Kidney Pills and went to the Brisley Drug cOmpany's store for a box Now if it had not brought about the results promised I never would have bought a second. and if the second had not stopped the last attack I would be the last resident of Phoenix to publicly en- dorse the preparation
