Much Appreciated by Doctor in the
 Windy City,

A short time ago MT. and Mrs. Niles Peterson sent to Dr. R. s. Pattillo of Chicago, a cluster of oranges that were grown in the valley That the gift was highly appreciated by the doctor is evidenced by the following extract from a letter received from him in re- ply.
 'It was a very pleasant surprise to hear from you and to receive your lovely gift. l feel certain if such or anges had grown in the Garden of Eden no apple would ever have tempt ed Adam. They certainly were beauti- full. and all those who were fortunate enough to get one remarked, how in the world did a branch grow strong enough to hold them. They were with out doubt the largest and sweetest or anges I ever beheld or tasted.
 My friends all considered them a great treat; the children in the hospi- tai exclaimed with wonder, and one small boy remarked "Thems no oran~ ges; them's little pumpkins"

WHY DO AMERICANS GO ABRoAD7

Why do Americans go abroad? That ! is not an easy question to answer. Ev- l erybody has a different reason. The chief one, I think, is that the experi- ence is really worth while. And I make this statement Tn spite of the fact that comparatively few Americans take the pains to equip themselves mentally for trip as they ought to do. The first thought of many a man who has spare thousand dollars in his posses sion and can get away from his busi- ness for a couple Of months is: Why not go to Europe? If he begins to think about it, he is lost. The steam ship companies are pretty good adver- tisers.
 Put a picture in colors of the Bay of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius looming up in the foreground, before the cash fer of a bank in the Middle West. Tell him he can get there in fourteen days from where he lives, and the chances ask questions about rates and pen sions" and a dozen other things of which a short time before he had only a very vague idea. A week later he has bought a Badaeker and paid $25 deposit on his ticket to EurOpe.-J. M. Campbell in The World Today. for January.

TEMPE
A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE
Steve Hughes Nearly Taken in by a
 Phoenix JeweIry Man.

One of Tempe's best known and most prosperous ranchers, no other than Steve Hughes, came near being the victim of a bogus jewelry man yesterday He was in town in the fore noon on business and was approached by a stranger who offered for sale, what to NIT. Hughes eyes seemed a very desirable ring. the fact that it was of the style usually known as a wedding ring is something of a suspic- ,Ous circumstance in itself, when MT Hughes readiness to become separated from his money in return for the 14- karat article is considered. The stran- ger insisted that the ring was genuine in every respect and had almost made q sale when friends of MT. Hughes in teFposed and prevented the transaction.
 The constable made his appearance at the right moment and the stranger was taken to the court of justice where he appeared before MT. Nielsen. It was found that he had with him l rare assortment of jewelry of one kind and another, and to the judges exper- fenced gaze, it was all phony. It was confiscated and the would-be seller given ten days in the county jail. which he accepted with good grace and Is now serving. The ring in question turned out to be N. G.. but Mir. Hughes may be excused on the ground that he Is a rancher and not supposed to be e judge of jewelry, much less that par iicular department of it, wherein we'd ding rings are concerned.

THAT CRAZY MAN.

There were no developments in that case of the crazy man. reported to be making his home at the barn on the syndicate ranch south of town and spending a portion of his time wander ing about the adjoining country. The constable visited the place night be- fore last but found no trace of the man and it is presumed that if there was any such party there. he was at least rational enough to know that he had stayed in one place long enough.
