High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work necessarily with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all these things is commonly seen in a weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous system, which results in dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and in extreme cases in complete nervous prostration. It is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the di- gestive and assimilative functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose It acts on all the vital organs, builds up the whole system and fits men and women for these high-pressure days.

now at Los Angeles, shipped to Phoe- nix and thrown on the screen during the dinner.
 Experience has demonstrated that it is easier to get the members of the board of trade together for a good dinner than on any other pretext. also that they become more enthu- siastic at a dinner than at a mere discussion of the work the board is doing. Two prosperity dinners have been had and both have been pro- ductive of great good The idea of combining the annual meeting with a dinner, however, is a new one.
 Several unique features in connec- tion with. the dinner and the annual meeting are being arranged. It will be necessary to put up a screen and a stand for the stereopticon machine. A suggestion was made that the nov ing pictures used to illustrate the lectures l.. J. Rice has been giving in Los Angeles also be brought over for the occasion, but the city ordin- ances do not permit the operation of motion picture machines anywhere except in theaters where special prep arations are made to guard against fire. so only the slides will be used

 At an early hour this morning the people of the wandering foot will be with us because, to use the language of the press agent. the most magni- ficent independent attraction on the face of the globe" comes to the city and a brief season of joy and gladness will result
 The three trains on which the Sells Floto circus travels will arrive some where between 5 and o'clock. It will be rare spectacle to see them unload That's the beaty of the circus. The charm of its coming. tarrying and final departure never tarnishes. The man who springs up from boyhood treasur- ing the thrills he experienced when first introduced to the mysteries of sawdust and tinsel is still a boy. He Is like a red wagon.

The regular ticket wagons will open on the grounds at o'clock and the price of general admission is 25 cents

is an extremely long shift, for men who do this sort of thing seldom re- main before an audience more than five minutes. MT. Ross represents various characters among them that of George Washington.
 He was asked in one of the inter- missions last night if he had any nerves to bother him. He replied that he had but he had control over them and had never abused them. They were good nerves. He never drinks coffee, uses tobacco or other food or drug calculated to excite the nerves. He sleeps for a short time after each meal and enjoys a brief sleep a half hour before going on exhibition
 The greatest difficulty, of course. is in the control Of the facial nerves and he is so sure of that, that a suit of clothes is offered to the man who can bring to his face the slight est suspicion of a smile while he is on duty.

of the hundreds gathered about the windows all the time swore that it was a wax figure. There was a per feet imitation of the motions of the automaton; the jerky movement of the neck in turning the head and the movement of the body at the hips, as if on hinges. The only other move ment was that of the arms brought with a succession of jerks up to the level of the forehead, when the fin gers closed almost imperceptibly upon hat brim and removed the hat.
 The eyes were wide and staring as if made of glass. never a suspicion of a wink. If MT. Ross breathed none in the crowd was able to see the action. He was arrayed part ot the time in L System clothing and part of the time in Stein Bloch gar ments. That was why he was in the window.

professor collected in northern Arizona
 while he claimed Phoenix as his home
 On the walls about them hung en- zlazoned trails of the vast unpeopled domains of the west, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, wrapped Tn colossal majesty; and a flaming vision of the desert, receding before one solitary In- dian who dreamed of his fathers lands.
 The pupil of Professor Rollins,s who lost her heart to a Blackfoot in her teachers studio, was Miss Annabel Mcfarland, youngest and prettiest member of the Arroyo Dinner club. an organization resembling the Palette. Tyre and Pen club, which Professor Rollins formed here.
 The Indian husband who won a maid for whose hand some of the richest and handsomest young men in the United States have sued, is Hart Schultz, a tribesman of the Blackfeet of the Dakotas, six feet two inches in height, with the stamp of the plains upon him and the deserts flame in his eyes. He, too, is a painter. His horses and Indians have been compared fa- vorably with those of Remington and he became a bosom friend of the mas ter artist, Professor Rollins.
 Wrapped In his own dreams of pie lures to be painted, of colors, of at mosphere, of tone. Professor Rollins did not notice that his cOpper-hued protege from the reservation and his favorite pupil from the metropolis, were spending great deal of time in each others society. They met at the studio; they talked of art-and love.
 Not only was Professor Rollins blind but every member of the exclusive Ar royo club was blind. Their eyes were not opened until the bride told of her secret marriage. That was after the husband. suffering with congestion of the lungs. had left for the reservation to recover his health. The wife an- nounced at a dinner of the club that she would soon go to Dakota to join him.
 Schultz fell i'll as the result of a heroic action at Long Beach. He saw a man battling for his life in the waves and plunged in to save him. But the drowning man did not prove the least grateful-nor the man behind the nov ing picture machine on shore The In- dian was roundly berated for spelling the film. sad at heart he rode back to Los Angeles on an electric car. for getting his wet clothes. Next day he was ill and it was necessary for him to hurry back to the dry, bracing climate of the reservation.
 Now everyone in the Arroyo club is saying that Cupid makes his headquar- ters around the Rollins studio Rumor says that it is more popular than ever as a rendezvous among young artists of both sexes.

There would have been an open season on antelope beginning March l, 1911, since there was no meeting of the territorial legislature this winter to extend the closed sea son. Delegate Ralph H.
