Dave Cunningham. though seldom out of Phoenix. is well known all over the territory. Always of quiet re- tiring and sympathetic temperament he has nevertheless lived in the atmos- phere of bohemia and his life habits and associations were such that he met at one time or another. nearly all who were frequent visitors to the capital city Though he was never leader of men he was known by an army of friends. and none knew him intimately but to regard him personally.
 His religion was the doctrine of his fraternities and the personal practice of charitable instincts which he allow ed to predominate in his early life. All that he made. not required for his own needs was at the disposition of others. Not possessing those characteristics that move men to the building of cities and to great industrial achievements. in his quiet. humble way he drew around him the friendship of many who liked him for his own sake, and though not possessing the means to

An other brother who is supposed to be engaged in mercantile business, lives somewhere in California.
 D. C. Cunningham however has made Phoenix his home since 1882 when he first came to Arizona. He is therefore entitled to be enrolled among the earlier residents of this city. for while il was then a town of consider able size the number of those who lived here in the early eighties is rap idly diminishing.

In the old days. before men under stood how this world was made and why so many wonderful things took place in it every day, such. for in- stance. as the rising and setting of the sun or the coming of spring. the growth of trees and flowers. and the falling of rain--in those old days they made up stories about these things.

FROM Av1GNoN TO FARAscoN.

From Avignon to Tarascon
Psalms have died away to laughter:
Spire and turret and donjon
Echo but some rigadon
Careless of the Great Hereafter.
Never more reflects the river
Tonsured head or plumed one;
Pope, and monk, and lord are gone,
Troubadour and hearty liver,
From Avignon to Tafascon.
Yet today the Rhone goes singing
Just as though no Papal John
With his huntsmen's clarion
Ever set its woodlands ringing:
Just as though no rogue In iron
Challenged here, nor amazon,
Grave, demure, or full of fun,
Proved half deaconess, half siren.
From Avignon to Tarascon
Sun and vineyard still betray man
Chateau-Neuf's red juices run
Brigand still is Cupidon
To many a lass and goddess layman
From Ayignon to Tarascon.
Ah-what rosy sacrileges
Broken vows-we've left upon
Lips of Jeanne or Marthe- YYonne,
Floating past the blossom hedges
From Avignon to Tarascon!

no more, it has been publicly announced,
until somebody who can tell the differ,
ence between harmony and assault and
battery has been selected as an official
chimer. The new bells cost about
$4,000 and were the gift of a citizen.
Applications came from something less
than one hundred men who desired TO
be appointed official chimer at stable
salary, and each applicant stood ready
to give the public a sample of his skill
as a bell ringer, with the result that
they have been grinding out daily every
thing from "Harrigan, That's Me- to
The Heart Bowed Down" The edct
has now gone forth that there shall be
no more rehearsals until the money is
found to hire somebody who knows
about sounding bells. Meanwhile the

of the community are figuring on catch

Napoleon Bonaparte.

Napolean has been described as almost
a music Halter. A recent writer put him
at the very foot of the list of modern
rulers, so far as appreciation or even
liberation, of music was concerned.
Now comes an English denial of the
SANDER. In The Gentlewoman it is adj.
mitted that the musical tastes of "the
Corsican ogre" were not elevated. But
for all that he loved singing so much
that many time after q concert he or.
dered the vOcaliSts to come to the palace
and sing before him and the Empress
Josephine.
A curious anecdote is told of his
brusque manner of dealing with artists.
One night at a concert at the Tuileries
while Duport, the famous violoncellist
was performing a solo, the Emperor sud,
denly entered. His majesty nodded his
head approvingly, and when the piece
was finished said to Duport:
How the deuce do you manage t.
keep that instrument so motionless T''
and taking up the cello he tried to ian,
it between his spurred boots.
Poor Duport nearly tainted when he
saw his treasure treated like war
horse For several minutes he looked
on, trembling from head to foot. AT last.
however, he darted forward and called
out Sir in such pathetic tones that
the Emperor handed him back the instru,
ment
Duport thereupon showed how the in
strument was held, but every time his
imperial master extended his hand to at
tempt to do it himself Duport threw
himself back in alarm, till finally Jose
phine whispered something to her hus-
band, who burst out laughing and put
an end to the cello lesson. - London
