character as he saw these upon the
Pacific coast
But not all the influence that Harte
coud bring to bear nor his own high
rcputatiOn-for he was At that time
probably the most popular American
author--were sufficient to induce the
Secretary of state. William L. Evarts.
to recommend his appointment as.
Minister to China, Mr.. Evarts. how
ever, promised to appoint him to o
good consular post and Harte hoped
that he would be named to some con-
sulatc in Spain or southern France.
or sent to Venice, where the roman
tic and dreamy characteristics of
strange people would furnish MIN
material for new romances. Mr..
Evarts, however. thought that Harte
was anxious for a good paying con-
sulate and he therefore caused him
to be nominated as consul to Crefeld,
Germany Harte afterward told me
that he had TRyer heard of the place
but when he looked it up and found
that It was the center of manu-
featuring district, with no romantic
or traditional life. he fairly ragged and
wept. He was on the point Of declin-
ing it, on the ground that it was
too great a step from the mission 10
China to the C nsuate to the chimney
shafts Of Crefeld. when a friend in
duced him TO accept saying: You
can get promoted after you have
been there a while. lie was in fact,
promoted to re comfortable consul
ate at Glasgow. but he lived in
London and let the vice-consul at
tend to the business there until at
last the State Department thought it
was best to make a change.
I am satisfied that the deepest dis
appointment OF Bret Harte's life was
bis failure to secure nomination as
Minister to China. And ] often think
that literature suffered by that fail
urc, for / am sure that Bret Harte
would have found in the strange,
dreamy atmosphere OF China material
for romances which would have sur
passed the most hrilliant work he
did. even In his early days"

ALL RIGHT AS INDIVIDUALS

A De Bernardl, general superin- tendent of the Missouri Pacific, was once compelled, in his official cap acity. to refuse to permit reporter on the scent of a news story to board train. After the argument was over the pair called truce, each got a foot into a comfortable position upon a brass rail, and the superln- tendent told this story:
 We railroad men are good deal like the directors board of a cer- tain country bank A rising young merchants of the town stepped into the bank one morning and asked for a short loan of $1,000.
 You know my way of doing business.' he said to the cashier .You know that I am good for that amount in addition to my present loans and that I always pay prompt ly. I'll take the check right now ana give you my note.
 " Sorry, said the cashier, but l can't let you have the money rlght now. I know you're all right. but the president is fussy about these mat ters. Go in and see him. I'll urge him to let you have it
 "The young man repeated his re- o1est to the president The president used much the same language as the cashier. and told him to consult the directors It's mere fOrmality. Get the directors to approve the loan and we'll take it up at the board meeting Monday night You can get 1t TueS- day morning without doubt
 The young man swallowed ms pride and called upon each of the directors Each promised to approve the loan. A mere matter of waiting a few days. they assured him. Ev- erybody. they said, knew that the rising young merchant was good for the amount and more. etc.

DON'TS FOR TRAVELLERS
(DenVer TimeS.)

Guests at Broadway hotel found in their mail boxes yesterday cir culars containing Ten Donts for Travellers" prepared by the propri etor for their comfort. These donts were:
 Don't feel hurt if the proprietor refuses to cash your check. Your credit may be O. K. but the pro prietor has enough checks returned N. c. to build several hotels.
 Don't marry the girl at the news stand. She is worthy of you, but the hotel is not a matrimonial bureau.
 Don't carry thirty-six trunks with a collar button in each one. Light luggage will give you time to see the sights And the porter will bless you.
 Don't make friends with every jolly good fellow at the bar. Good Samari- tans sometimes sell bad mining stocks.
 Don't forget to pay the telephone girl It is embarrassing to be called back for a dime
 Don't turn the hotel inside out for your wallet until you look under your pillow. You probably slept on it last night.
 Don't carry off souvenirs. When we wish to demolish and dismantle this hotel we will send you a specially engraved invitation to act as house. wrecker
 Don't sing. A hotel is not a con- servatory. The man in the next room may not possess or appreciate artistic temperament.
 Don't hesitate to express your wants. This is not deaf and dumf asylum
 ! Don't kick unless you have a legiti- mate complaint. To err is human.

MOOSE DAY AT THE FAIR
Application Made to the State Fair Commission for a Period to be Set Apart in Honor of the New Fra ternal Order.

Heretofore the Elks have carried off the honors that go to good. live secret order men every time the date for the state fair has rolled around They have always attended the fair in large numbers and the funny stunts they have put on for the delectation of the spectators have been of the most original and enjoyable character. Wherefore. 3 fair without the usual Elks' day would be beyond the imag- inatOn of the average Arizona citi- zen.
 But the Best People are not to have it all their own way this year. And what is more, they will have to look to their laurels if the said laurels are not roughly snatched from their rus tic broWs. And the reason is that the Moose are getting into the game. Why not a Moose day at the fair?" queried zealous member of that or der of the fair commission recently. No reason at all," replied the com missioner. Go to it."
 And the Moose are going to it. They are going to it in q crowd. They are going to it with an enthusiasm that is beautiful to see. It is q really dizzy sort of enthusiasm, but it is the kind that does things. And that the Moose of Phoenix are in he habit of doing things when they take the notion
 there has been ample evidence lately. But it will not be the Moose of Phoenix alone. The 'HOwdy Paps" from all over the state are falling into line. it is said. over at Globe, for in stance, there is a lodge of seven hun
 dred of them. and if plans do not mis- carry. anywhere from 300 to 800 of the Globe brand of Moose will be here
 for the fair. Then from Tucson and
 Bisbee an dother towns round about comes the word that the Moose are thoroughly aroused and will descend
 on our fair city in force
 Meantime, the local Moose are lay ing a few little plans of their own. They are getting ready for a reception to their brethren which. they confi- dently assert, will make the efforts of the Elks along that line look like half dozen punched nickels. But as the Elks have never bee nknOwn to surrender without a struggle. it is q safe guess that there will be some tall hustling all around between this date and the date of the fair.
 EIks day at the fair will occur Tuesday and Moose day Friday. The Elks, however will have a chance to set the pace, and it will be up to the other organization to travel bit fast er than their rivals or wal a little longer 10 attain their ambition.
