HEARD IN THE LOBBIES

Francis r. Crandall. collector of in
ternal revenue for Arizona and New
Mexico. returned To Phoenix yester-
day after a prolonged absence in his
other territory. How he has been
missed in Phoenix The Stag. dur
ing the days of his former visit had
dubbed with effervescent and spon-
taneous JOY. for Francis is a member
Of the shower bath brigade. When
he went away an immediate change
was noticed The porter no longer
had the gentlemanly and polished
Crandall to wait on. As a result, he
languished. The proprietor felt the
need of his intellectual and instruc-
tive conversation, and suffered for
lack of it, The other guests were
downcast and misanthropic. Crandall
was gone.-NOw that he is back again
the flag flies out with every fold
Strengthened. straight in the breeze.
The hotel is filled with happiness,
and Crandall himself is glad to find
such warm appreciation.
They may say what they like about
w. c. Mccormick of Los Angeles. He
is one of the most interesting sales
men in the west. Where would the
world be without his line--porous
plasters and pills. Nothing is more
useful than a porous plaster When
n person has an engagement ne Cor
she, probably doesn't want to keep.
what is easier than to feign illness,
and give color to the malady by plac-
ing a plaster on the back. or chest
or elsewhere? Plasters are good for
many things. They stop up the pores,
and make sales for the pills. As Mr..
Mccormick sells both plasters and
pills he wins out all around. In a
pinch he makes a plaster sandwich
and a pill salad to keep the wolf off.
and makes the claim that he is the
only man living who has lived on
porous plasters for an entire week.
This was in a case of emergency. He
stops at the Hotel Ford, and will be
glad to give all the details of this
remarkable performance to the after
noon papers.
In Glen Rose-what n lovely name.
Upon hearing it ones nostrils breath
the perfume of a flower garden. and
ones senses are enraptured by visions
Of magnificent mountain parks-said
Glen Rose being in Texas, where Mr..
II. f. Mcdonald is superintendent of
public schools.-that grandest of oc-
equations which gives one the oppor-
tunity to form, train, develop. evolve,
and cultivate the infant mind until
it energies from the embryo to burst
in the radiant splendor oc full bloom,

A sad thing happened TO Gordon
Clark the other day Everybody
knows Gordy. 1t happened in this
wise His house. placing a fun value
on his services. sent Gordy a substan-
tial check, but forgot to sign it. As
result Gordy found himself ponni-
less. and his friends got together. and
agreed not to lend him cent. It
was a pitiful thing to see the poor
fellow edge up to- one Of his friends
and say Can you let me have a
quarter only to hear I'm sorry old
man. but I'm flat P>yself" During
these days the opulent Gordy, who
had previously dined each day on
lobster and fruit salad ate from the
free lunch counter The bartender
would say "Who is that handsome
person who seems to be eating all
the weinerWurst ?''-Or-"W Waiter, 60
and cut some more bread. We are
facing a flour famine" At last, GOrdy
connected up with his house and his
bank. He received mOney-more than
he needed. and revenged himself on
his friends at the Stag by taking
them out to dinner. If anyone con-
siders this a tale Of the Imagination.

A. o. H. PROSPEROUS
President Regain ConeratuIates Nom.
bers on Growth of the Order.

Mr.. James J, Regain OF st. Paul who
has just completed his first year as
national president of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians. states that the Or
der is flourishing. He states that in
many of the principal cities large
classes are being initiated and that the
society has completed the sixty first
year of existence in America with a
record which has not been equaled by
any other Catholic society in the coun-
try.
Mr.. Regain has travelled widely in
the east and south during the past
year and doubtlessly knows better
than any other man belonging to the
order the actual condition in which it
is. His words of congratulations
therefore, may be accepted by the
members of the A. Q. H. AS sure
indication that their society is con-
tinuing to enjoy a rapid and vigorous
growth.

picture camera takes the picture. Just
as the imp turns the handspring the
operator of the camera, whom we shall
call the camera man. stops the ma
chine and allows the imp to walk out Of
range of the camera. Then through a
steam pipe which is located right where
the imp turned the somersault squirt
of steam is elected The camera man
instantly resumes turning the crank of
his machine, takes the picture of the
steam, and continues with the rest of
the picture from which the imp is ex-
cluded. In place of steam electrically
ignited smoke pots arc sometimes used,
giving practically the same result.
Then there are pictures in which
furniture including bedding and dishes
move from one house to another, money
counts itself, shoes give themselves a
shine, and SO on. These are called
stop-work pictures, and are very
tedious to make. Take, for example,
the picture of a shoe being automatic
ally shned. A brush is set on Il shoe,
and the man who takes the picture
turns the crank just enough to expose
one picture. Then, while the camera
Is closed, his assistant moves the shoe
brush a little further over on the shoe.
AS soon as the assistant has receded
from the range of the camera the
crank is again turned just enough to
make one more exposure By moving
the brush a triflc at Il time from the
shoe to the blacking and alternately
taking a single picture of the brush
and shoe in their different positions
the complete picture is obtained. When
this is reproduced in rapid succession
on the screen, it looks as though the
brush were actually shining the shoe
without any aid. All pictures Of this
nature are taken in a similar way, in
Guiding pictures where the subjects
get to Waiting around fast enough to
make one dizzy.

the effort to thwart the Macon movement will also be there.
 Maconites want to get the capitol re- noval bill up at this session, if possible, out very few of them have so sangune hope.
 Well shave the capitol within five years," is what the most conservative of them say
 Members of the Macon committee which has established headquarters here with view to agitating the movement, and tell ing the members of the legislature just how they ought to do it, are complaining no little about the attitude of the Atlanta newspapers toward their scheme.
 or course, he Atlanta papers couldn't be expected to jubilate over the move nlent to any extent but the Macon com fnittee says they are smothering the news ahout it. It is true they haven had much 10 say Of it, but perhaps this may he at tr1buted rather to belief on their part that the Macon scheme is sort of flash in the pan, than to any deliberate plan to keep the people of the state from knowing about it
 Nevertheless, the Maconites are in dead ly earnest, and not only that, but they believe they are going to succeed. These are qualities that were long ago pro. nolmced half the battle" and it's ques- ton as to how well Macon is equipped to fight the other half.
 Strong opposition will come from the Macon representatives toward locating a new governors mansion anywhere in Atlanta, until the question of capitol re- noval is settled.
