FIRM
 GOES UNDER
'0'Brien & Co. of Tucson Closes Their Doors With $7,500
 Liabilities
HEAD OF CONCERN HOPES
 TO RESUME BUSINESS
Especial to Review.p

TUCSON. July 24.-F. j. o'3rien and company the well known broker age firm. closed its doors yesterday both in this city and at the branch of. fees in Phoenix and Nogales.
 To the Review representative Mir. O'Brien said today that he expected that the forced susasns.on of business was only temporary and he hopes to have matters strengthened out by the middle of next week. He. estimates the liabilities of the concern at not over s7.500 and expects that the as sets will more than take care of all indebtedness
 The poor condition of the marke, which discouraged trading and heavy expenses are assigned, as the causes for the suspension of operations by this firm. The concern was one oi the largest in its line in the south west
 He said furthermore that as soon as he is able to arrange all matters of the present company he hopes to be able to engage in the brokerage business again, but on less eNten sive scale.
 Having carried on a business which Mir. O'Brien says aggregated sl.50o. 900. per year, until the financial slump, the sudden suspension of oper ations by this firm has caused de cided sensation.
 The heaviest business done by the
Bisbee daily review., 1909-07-25

firm was in the larger cities In So nora and Sinaloa. Wealthy residents there were among the largest GUS toners of the firm until the slump struck the Mexican country. when there was heavy falling off. Trad ing through this firm was heavy also in Tucson. Phoenix and Nogales un. til tight business conditions caused a heavy falling off in stock buying and selling in these places.
 T have simply suspended business because it did not warrant the heavy expense l was under" said MT. O'Brien, when seen today at his res idence on North Sixth avenue.
 T have been under an expense of $1 soc per month which is more than $20.00o annually and the business for some time past has not justified this expenditure.
 T carried along the affairs of the concern just as long as l could and then l simply closed up. The poor condition of the market and discour- aged trading caused such falling off that the business did not longer warrant the expense l was under.
 q have been ill for the past ten days and until I am able to be al the office and go over my affairs l shall be unable to tell exactly what the liabilities are but would esti- mate them at approximately $7,500.
 T feel very confident that the as- sets will be ample to offset this sum. l am unable to state just at present what the assets will total.

Uncle came into my room this aft

Europe the better he liked it, and that
Mr.. Peters was the sort of friend that
was worth making. He said he had
decided to go on with them to Mont

gent that he couldn't well get out OF
it, He says he hopes | won't consider
that he has changed his opinion OF
Lee because he hasn't, but that he
will say this much, and that is, that
the fact that man like Mr.. Peters
will call Lee his friend proves that he
must have some good in him some
where. Uncle said the Kingsleys seem
to be nice girls, and then he coughed,
but 1 didn't say anything, so he
dropped the subject. I must tell you,
though, that Miss Clara Emily Is get

one is noticing it, and Uncle seems

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay.
written by boy in London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear The least of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or few
leaves or feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

Sketching a lions likeness is a

paw out, and drew the offending foot
through the bars. The young mans

other. UnfortuP ately he put his claws
out, and the caress was painful For

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: 1--WE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about year ago, and
1t has made my husband strong, we'll
man. He has gained thirty-five pounds
in that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.
"The first time prepared it did
not boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with it.
Sure enough it did taste very fiat, but
the next morning followed directions
carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes,
and he remarked this is better than
any of the old coffee

soon, for uncle told me this noon that
she was more unlike Aunt Jane than
any woman that he had seen in years.
Uncle is very good-telnpered, and has
won over $50 francs from Mr.. Pc
tiers at poker. Mr.. Peters says he's
played poker for years without meet
ing such a rafting winner as uncle,
and uncle believes him. The two
Trips want to go on, too, because
they decided to wait for their money
at London, and they are afraid they
are going to run short. Mr.. Brewer
wants to go, too, because he has fin

all want to go, because two days is a

Song.
OH like a queens her happy tread,
And like a queens her golden head
But oh! at last when all is said,
Her woman's heart for me!
We wandered where the river cleaned.
Meath oaks that unused and pines that
dreamed,
A wild thing of the woods she seemed,
So proud and pure and free!
All heaven grew nigh to hear her sing,
When from her lips her soul took wing,
The oaks forgot their bordering,
The pines their reverie.
And oh! her happy Queenly tread!
And oh! her queenly golden slead
But oh! her heart, when all is said
Her womans heart for me!

SO much so that I literally tore the

The awful itching interfered with my

awake nights. l tried several doc
tors and used a number of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally 1 set
tied down to the use of Cuticura Soap,

another automobile arrived with Clara
and Emily Kingsley and their aunt
Clara Emily and Ellsworth Grimm
and Jim Freeman and chauffeur, and
about half-past one runabout auto
mobile came in with the two Trips.
We are like big house-party, and Mr..

minute, so we can all have no end of
a good time
Miss Clara Emily asked after every
one in our family, even Aunt Jane.
Of course l told her that Aunt Jane
had been dead two years, and you
ought to have seen her jump and look
at uncle. She asked me if uncle lived
alone in the house, and she looked so
reflective that / felt quite uncom-
Portable.
l don't know what Mrs. Brewer is,
but the men that came in the automo
bile with her are just devoted to her,
and she makes every one have a good
time. We played cards and conse-
quences all the afternoon, and Mrs.
Brewer told our fortunes from tea
leaves in the evening. She told uncle
to beware of long, pointed nose
which she saw in his cup, and Miss
Clara Emily didn't know whether to
be mad or glad.
