store is real curiosity shop for the
curious who hardly know what they
want as almost everything is there.
The next point of interest that caught
my attention was the tasty windows in
the A. Friedman store, 'sThe Metropol-
itan." stood for some time admiring
the beautiful electric light roses on the
little tree, but was more than ever at
tracted by the fine line of overcoats,
suits and gents furnishings so tastefully
arranged in the handsome show win
dows.
Arrived at Foster IL Ritter's, / was
more than surprised TO find an exact
counterpart of myself seated on sleigh,
on which was displayed one of their
fine Schuman pianos, in the midst of
heavy snow storm. Inside there were
so many fine things in furniture, pianos,
lamps, pictures, picture frames, linole-
ums, carpet sweepers, ETC., that l put
il on my list as an available trading
point when go TO Bedding.
AT w. l. Benedict's drug store, as in
years gone by, found so many things
that would help to replenish my stock
that remained for some time looking
here and there at the large selection of
toys, books, magazines, post cards, ko-
daks, fancy articles, ETC., which GER
tainly make Christmas buying easy.
After enjoying sight of the merry
crowd of silk mill girls coming from
their work, | turned my attention to
The Hub, where full attention had been
given TO every detail of the Xmas win
dows. Each window bore the same
design of large oval center piece sur
rounded by lattice work, from which
hung in endless variety everything a
man or boy might need from head to
foot. The interior of the store was also
handsomely trimmed in honor of my
annual visit.
Bachelor & Browns grocery store,
with its Christmas bells and fine dis
play of fruits, nuts, candies, ETC., was
also quite suggestive along my line of
thinking.
Spencer Bros. told me that they were
going out of business Jan. l, but the
red and green trimmings in the store

few moments before starting away
and was much pleased at the fine line
of fruits and other good things TO whet
the appetite of man on exhibition at
the Underwood Bros. store. A glimpse
into its spacious rooms convinced me
that l could find many things there
TO please the most fastidious in the
land.
Wilson Il Skellenger seemed to take
quite an interest in my coming for the
big show window fairly danced with
good things for Christmas while big
white background bore the greeting in
cranberry letters, "Merry Christmas"
Homer Unger also took on a wave Of
the Christmas spirit and made his bak-
cry and restaurant fairly glisten with
frosted cakes and fancy decorations OF
green and red.
In my periginations l discovered that
the three meatmarkets had laid in a
delicious stock of choice meats for the
occasion, and we're making arrange
ments with the farmers for an ample
supply of fat turkeys, ducks and
chickens for the Christmas trade. The
milliners were still offering choice mil
linery goods at low prices for those
who have put off their fall hat pur-
chase till this late day.
While driving out of town on my
way to my northern home, | paused
for few minutes TO note the many
nice things TO be found in the North
Side bazaar, and found that the pro-
prietors are doing nice holiday bust
ness and that the gifts were of the de-
pendable kind.
Stopping for a few moments in +. +.
Hudson's north side grocery, ! loaded
up good supply of the fine candies
which he has for the annual festival,
and remembering number of poor
people whose homes | must visit on
the coming holiday i took goodly
quantity of the fine groceries to be
found in his stock, and started for
home, reaching here in due time with
no accidents To mention. | am now

MANY CHINKS ARE TO
 BE SENT HOME
CFrom Sundays DaIly)

Deputy United States Marshal O'Neill of Tucson left Prescott yes terday having in charge two China men who will be deported next Sat urday from that elty.
 A regular roundup has been made of the Chinamen in this territory in the past few months, and they are all herded in Tucson, forty-nine of them. They are all illegally residing in the territory and none of them can toe the mark when it comes to question of being personally iden- tifed with the photographs they carry.
 This is the greatest number of Chinamen to be deported from the territory in one shipment. An inter esting story is given by the inspect ors detailed for the specific duty of hunting up those who are residing here illegally.
 The common method of gaining entrance is through established chan nels on the border of smuggling them across the line. When once across they are equipped with spurious eer- tifieates taken from the effects of deceased Chinamen. Others enter on railroad trains from distant points and are open and defiant when ae- costed. They too are equipped with data and registration literature, furn- ished by a sO-ealled Chinese import ing society. Other ruses are in ex- istenee. also. but the bulk of offend CTS are confined to localities where the Chinese are numerous and not easily singled out.
 The life of a Chinese inspector is a vigilant one, and much effective work is done
 A few years ago one of these of fcials said that he had intercepted more Chinks through being eonver- sant with their language than any other officer, and having a knowledge of their ways and haunts it was an easy matter to ferret out those vio- lating the law.
