OF Interest 10 All WHO Wear Shoes.
Comfort, value and style are what you are entitled to when
you spend your money for a pair of shoes. If we give you
value and style and do not fit your foot you may expect little
satisfaction in the wearing. Every one knows that for wo-
men, there are no better values on earth than are found in
the Queen Quality and Zeigler Bros. Shoes, two of our lead
ing lines-the same statement will hold good in the Walk.
Over shoe for men-but if we should sell you a pair of either
of these makes and fail to fit you properly you would not
get all you paid for. For this reason we make proper fitting
one of the strongest features of four shoe department.. We
ask you to give us a chance to convince you that we are com
bining comfort, value and styleinevery pair of shoes we sell.

Management of Castle Hot Springs Making Special Preparations For a Holiday Crowd.

Those who have not yet perfected their plans for their Thanksgiving. hol. iday will do well to take into consid-
 eration the special attractions that are
 to be offered at Castle Hot Springs for
 this occasion. The g. F. P. & P. of
 fers an excursion rate that will take
 the traveller from Phoenix to the
 Springs and back again for $55O in cluding the auto ride from Hot Springs 1 Junction to the springs, though the ! separate ticket for this has to be ! bought at the junction. The limit Is from Wednesday to next Monday af- ternoon, so that one may devote five days to the excursion if he chooses, or
 he can go up one day and back the next.
 Hoover it is hardly likely anybody would tear himself away before Sun day, once he got there where the sur roundings are as nearly ideal as any
 body can imagine. Of course there are no velvet carpets on the canyons and no street cars from the hotel to the springs which are several hundred
 eNa N's7 ft way bNAN Nlltll llltlt lS no Hetu for them. The walk up the little side canyon to the pools is one of the pret- tiest little ten minute jaunts one ever enjoyed and if he is too lazy for any kind of a jaunt he has the hot spring water piped right into the room for him If he is too lazy to even take a bath he can hire professional masseur or masseuse to do that for him. In fact all he needs to do is to just be happy and the hotel management furn- ishes every facility to that end. As for the canyons while there is no vel vet carpet on them they have the cleanest and smallest floors of any canyons on earth and their walls are adorned by the most attractive land- scape studies made of real rocks of the ruggedest and raggedest descrip- tion. the whole gallery being lighted by the bluest sky and ventilated with the best air to be found in the world.
 While the above is but a hint of one or two out door features the hotel and it's environment possesses all the plea sures and cOnveniences of the best re- sorts on earth from an incompatible table and service to luxurious apart ments and parlor cafe and club plea sures. This resort offers every thing from the splendors of milady's dainty boudoir to the Wilds of the mountain fastness and the pleasures of the chase.
 These facts will not be controverted by any who have visited Castle Hot Springs and those who have lived in Phoenix all these years without going there, have missed much of the plea sures of life in Arizona. Everybody who can possibly do so should go there ! Dnce and almost anybody can do that | now. And after they have been there ] ,nce they will need no further urging. 1 There will be no better time to go than | his week. anytime after Wednesday | morning at o'clock It would be well | O begin preparing before that however, | or that is the hour the train leaves.

and all by the fruits of his own labors. After this lecture tour came the years CT his residence in the varloas5 capitals ot Europe Referring to these, Mir. Clemens said:
 ''I suppose you could call the dwellings we occupied In Europe our homes. While in England we lived on the outskirts Of London, near the home of Mir Gladstone. Then we spent two years in Paris. that house being one of the finest in the gay French capital. It's builder was both an architect and an artist and In designing and decorating his home he gave full scope to his talents. The rooms were large, bright and cheerful and the decora- tions were among the most beautiful l have ever seen. dearly loved that house and several of its best features l have embodied in this house as well as l could that Is. without marring its treatment from an Italian viewpoint.
 Then there were two years in Vienna and about the same time was spent in Berlin. It was while we were living there In 1891 that Emperor William invited me to dine with him.
 Here I interrupted Mir. Clemens reni- uOOu lO dsh IT WHdl Ac udu ten about that dinner was true.
 ''Yes, it's true" he replied. ''the Elm peror did all of the talking. but I suppose that was all right. for if I could entertain him in turn I would feel that I had an equal right to do all the talking, too"

 Time has dealt kindly with Mark Twain. His complexion Is ruddy, which is accen- tuated by his shock of snowy halr and flowing mustache. as spotless as the suit of all white clothes which he invariably wears while within doors. His deepset black eyes are as bright and piercing as ever; his laughter quite as hearty and contagious and his movements and con- versatiou cannot fan to create the iHi- pression of a ceaseless activity of mind and body.

The last of tbese-the one which he sought and established upon the term nation of his last lecture tour around the world, made necessary because of the sweeping away at one fell swoop of all his savings of q lifetime-was in lower Fifth avenue, New York, and here New Workers had hoped that Mark Twain would remain and live out his life. About two years ago, however, Wanderlust proved too attractive, and he started forth to found q home after his own heart, and this he has done at 'The Glen" as his Connecticut estate is called.
 There is more to be told of Mark Twain's early days in Missouri than is to be found in the pages of Tom Sawyer" or "Huckleberry Finn" Few, perhaps. know that the old house in Florida, Mon roe county, Mo-, which had been gradu- ally torn to pieces by relic-hunters under the belief that 1t Is Mark Twain's birth place, is not the house where the humor- ist-lecturer was born. The real birth place is some distance away-a twostory wooden dwelling that was materially changed after the Clemens family left 1t. Here the author was born 73 years ago.

After writing for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, Nevada newspaper. he journeyed to the Sierras, went to Honolulu the following year. returned to America. crossed the continent to New York. and In 1867 sailed for Europe on the Quaker City. "Inno- cents Abroad" was the result of this trip. and on his return trip Mir. Clemens and Miss LangdOn met on the ship, and their wedding speedily followed.
 Mark Twain was an editor fin Buffalo for about two years. Referring to this period of his life he said:
 ''I could not live in Buffalo because of the frequency of fur overcoats."
 In 1871 his comfortable home in Hart ford, Ct, was purchased. and there the family lived for fifteen years. Here were some of the happiest years of the authors life. He was idolIzed by his neighbors and he was surrounded by every com fort until 13 years ago financial ruin overlook hlm, and once more this wan derer was compelled to start forth on a lecture tour, that he might be able to settle with his creditors and begin life

 Although a man of 60 at that time, he set forth with all the ardor and en- thusiasm of a boy on his first outing h a world all strange. In many ways the task he had set for himself was more difficult than that of Sir Walter Scott when he wrote some of his best-known works while hampered by burden of debt.
 Mark Twain's popularity as a lecturer had not suffered from his long years of practical retirement. Theaters and halls were not spacious enough to accommodate the crowds that gathered to greet him wherever he went. The proceeds of this his last tour and the book that followed.

years old, moved to Hannibal, Mo-. where the old home Is still standing at Hill and
 Main streets Hannibal is the land ot Tom Sawyer and "Huck Finn" and considerably more than half the adven- lures of these most popular American boys were taken from Mark Twain's own life. It was In 1870 that Mark Twain moved to Buffalo, and there bought home, shortly thereafter marrying Miss Olivia L. Langdon, of New York, but re- tween Hannibal and the new home on Delaware avenue, Buffnlo, there were years of ceaseless wandering for Mark Twain. He had been a printers devil In Missouri, and for five years a pilot on the boats of the Mississippi River. He served five weeks In the Confederate Army, and then tried gold mining in Ne vada. He built a shack for himself there, which could almost be slowed away In the fireplace of his present New Bedding villa This shack he graphically describes in ''Roughing It. as a dwelling built in crevce between two rocks. The roof was of canvas, left open at one corner to serve as q chimney. Cattle tumbled through the hole every now and then, smashing his furniture and disturbing hisl
