BARR SAYS PHOENIX

 FriedIander's Company.

w. B. Barr. the Pacific Mutual gen eraI agent. has just returned from a trip over the southern part of the ter ritory. having come to the conclusion that there is but one lively town in the territory and that is Phoenix with her farming lands and Roosevelt dam behind her
 While in Tucson he saw several old friends among the Billy F'riedlander Musical Comedy company at the Ely sian Grove. That petite little sou brette, Nan Halperin. who will be re- membered by many Phoenix people as Raymond Tears star, together with Billy and a strong company of some twenty people, including Fred Lazone, the well known eastern comedian, and bevy of pretty girls.
 Miss Halnerin and Billy F'riedlander both said they looked forward with much pleasure to their Phoenix en- gagement at the Grand and the renew al of old acquaintances. They open their engagement with full company, special scenery, new wardrobe, and a real musical comedy, The Suf- rragette," containing sixteen clever, catchy numbers and a very amusing plot and dialogue, every word and note of music being written by MT. Fried lander himself.
 The verdict Of Tucson show goers was unanimously rendered as "a dol lar show for 30 cents.'

experience. There is no feature of a big circus that represents such a tremendous outlay of money or in wolves a greater risk of loss.
 That part of the Barnum and Bat- icy Circus which is contained within the four walls of the animal tent IS valued at more than s1,o00,00O. The first cost of sending hunting expedi- tions into the jungles of Africa, Asia and South America is small compared with that which follows when the ami mals are secured Men must be em- ployed who have studied their ways and habits Each specimen must be scientifically cared for. Food that will nourish one creature will kill another.
 Giraffes are the hardest to care for.
Arizona republican., 1910-09-24

It is necessary to feed them now and then on a peculiar moss, which grows only on a tree found in the forest belt that hugs the African equator line. It is shipped to the circus in bales. Gi- raffes are fast disappearing from the face of the earth. In a very short time they will be extinct. No amount of money could buy the four fine spe- cimens with this show. In the family is to be found the tallest giraffe ever captured. From it's front hoofs to its ears it measures twentytw feet. It cost the management s14.000, yet in value it is but a circumstance to the long -necked little chap at it's side, named Bumbeeno. and just reaching to it's mothers knee.

Bumbeeno was born last spring in the winter quarters of the show at Bridgeport, Conn. It is the second time in history that the stork ever visited the giraffe pen of a zoo of captives. over fifty years ago in London a similar happy event occur red, but the baby lived but a day. Scientists were puzzled, They had for a century maintained that giraffes would not breed in captivity. For tunes were spent after that by scien- tific animal breeders to induce a re- petition of this exception of natures rule It was in vain. Long ago at tempts of the kind were abandoned.
 Bumbeeno came as a surprise. He was found early one morning by the

 Another rare specimen in the Bar mum and Bailey zoo is a hippopota- mus weighing five tons. It takes six big Percherons to pull it's den over smooth pavement.

Saint Nihal Singh In The Nautilus. II
Is certain that tho Hindus would he

for them TO live on vegetable diet.
This for an essential reason. The
American cook boils all the flavor as

tables and throws II away. The occi.

food has lost much OF It's nutriment
aud is useless TO build up or sustain
the body. Moreover. the boiling pro-
cess renders the dish more or less In.
slpid In flavor.
The East Indian cook works on a d..
reetly opposite principle. The woman
OF India Is taught that the food must
be cooked In It's own steam. or with
just enough water 10 generate steam

must be evaporated before the food IL
served unless II Is to be eaten with
a gravy or shorba. In which case a
small quantity OF liquid Is allowed to
remain on II.
But as a usual thing not a drop OF
water Is drained away. This would be
looked upon as positively sacriligIous
and wasteful by the East Indians. The
American throws away as useless ev.
cry day what would keep an East In.
dian family from starvation.
This fact was demonstrated when
during a siege the Indian soldiers re-
quested that the water 10 which the
rice was cooked alone should be Is
sued to them, while the rice itself
might be served TO the English sol.
diers. This was done, and the native
sepoys apparently were as well fed as
their white brothers.
