and Talks Entertainingly
of Journey

After an absence from Phoenix of
nearly four months. during which
time they visited so many places of
interest that it is now almost i'm
possible for them to enumerate them,
L. + Pascoe, North Central avenue
real estate dealer, and his daughter,
Miss Ruby Pascoe, have returned to
this city, weary of travel, and a unit

Tascoe yesterday when l first came

stay for little While and then go
away But it wasn't long until l was
as firmly rooted here as though l
had been born here, and I've never
once Ionged to live anywhere else. My
trip has made me all the more salts

to stay for quite a while.
My daughter and l left Phoenix on
January 20. going to New Orleans
where we arrived just in time to
witness the festivities attendant upon
Mardi Gras. From there we board

BY rail we crossed from Tampa to
the middle of the state where we
reached the St Johns river. Aboard
the steamer City of Jacksonville we
made the long trip of 800 miles down
the St Johns river. which is one of
the few big rivers of the country
flowing north, until Jacksonville was
reached.

and we then started down the East
Coast road to Key West, moving by
easy stages and spending the nights
wherever. the end of each day over

visit most of the principal seashOre
resorts of Florida. At some Of these
places we remained day or two
or until we felt that we had seen
ell worth while.
THE first cocoanut we ever saw
was at Palm Beach where there We're
myriads OF these trees in fruit at the
time we were there. In all we visited
ten or twelve places in Florida,
spending nearly a month in doing
the state.
From Florida we proceeded to
Havana where we spent one day and
then on to Santiago where we visit
ed the San Juan battlefield. Here We
first saw something to remind US OF

about two miles away.
Monday afternoon we took in an
excursion through the Clubera cut
We rode in an observation car, each
seat being numbered to correspond to
our tickets. The engine was placed
at the rear of the train so as not
to obstruct our view. a guide was
stationed upon each car and, armed
with megaphone, he announced the
various features and points of inter
est. AS we proceeded down to the
bottom of the canal the view was
somewhat INSTRUCTED by the smoke
of the great number of steamshoN els
and engines employed on the work
in the cut. There are many tracks
in the cut. two to each bench or
ledge. These lodges rise one above
the other and there are two tracks on
each ledge. One track is occupied by
the shOvels and the other by trains
consisting of twenty-one cars each.
The dirt from the ledge above is
carried to the waiting cars and a
train load of dirt is taken away every
three minutes. The trip occupies
about four hours and the thirty miles
Of travel and sightseeing is made at
the small expense of $3.50 each.
After leaving Panama we skirted
the north coast of South America,
stopping at Cartagena and Porto Co
lombia. At Cartagena we were taken
into an old inquisition building and
shown some of the instruments of
torture employed by the Spaniards
three hundred years ago. one of
these was an iron bed resembling
nothing SO much as farmers har-
row turned upside down. On this
spiked bed the victims were chained

lated to meet the needs of the av-
GRACE traveller.
ON the Monday morning after we
arrived at Panama the government
gave an excursion to the Miraflores
and Pedro Miguel locks. The canal
runs at sea level from Panama to
The Miraflores locks, a distance of
about eight miles The locks are each
10 feet wide and about 1000 feet
long. A boat entering a lock is
raised twenty seven and one-half
feet and it then enters another lock
having the same lift. The boat then
passes into a small lake a mile and
three quarters wide. After crossing
this lake the boat enters the Pedro
Miguel lock and is raised thirty feet
to the level of the canal in the Guile
bra cut. This cut is nine miles long
running through the backbone of the
divide. 1t is 800 feet wide except
at the turns where it is 500 feet wide
III order to permit large boats to rea
dfly pass along. After passing through
the cut the boat enters Gatun lake,
which is created by flood waters of
the Chagres river. This lake covers
167 square miles, but it is only TWEEN
ty-seven miles from the cut to the
Gatun locks situated in the Gatun
dam.
After reaching the Gatun locks the
boat is lowered through three locks,
each drop being twenty eight feet,
four inches 1t then reaches the canal

passes out into the Atlantic ocean

making a tour of the islands. At
each island the populace turned out
in Sunday attire to greet her. Paw
lions We're usually erected and carpet
laid from the boat to these paVilions
for her to pass over. Usually the
governor of the island requested per
mission to address the princess and
this being granted, a speech followed
to which she responded. She usually
visited the governors palace for an
hour or two after which the journey
was resumed.
After ten days we arrived at St.
Thomas in the Danish West Indies.
On this island are two castles said
to have been erected by pirates sew
eral hundred years ago. One castle
is known as Bluebeard's castle and
the other as Blackbeard's castle. 1t
is said that each pirate, Bluebeard
ard Blackboard, had fifteen wives
apiece. From ST. Thomas we went
en- to Porto Rico. Tobacco. sugar
and coffee are the principal crops
mere. We saw miles and miles of
tobacco fields, the growing crops
covered with mosquito netting for
shade and protection from insects.
The tobacco thus shaded brings about
200 per pound, none selling for less
than ninety-five cents per pound. Or
binary Pennsylvania tobacco can be
purchased for twenty cents per pound
We spent thirteen days at Porto Rico
and then sailed for New York.
BY easy stages we returned visit

we left Santiago on the steamer
Perry for Kingston. Jamaica is a
beautiful island, green and fertile. its
macadamized roads comparing favor
ably with those recently constructed
out on North Central avenue. From
Kingston we went on to Port An
tonic where we encountered miles
upon miles of banana groves. These
groves are owned principally by the
United Fruit company and furnish
fruit TO England and the United
States The natives in that vicinity
recently have taken to planting CO.
coanut trees, believing there is
greater profit and less risk of loss
than in the growing of banana
groves.
1T was on March that we left
Kingston for Colon on the Isthmus of
Panama. where we arrived two days
later. There we received the first
mail we had had in two months.
Across the isthmus we travelled on
the Panama railroad to the city of
Panama, a distance of % miles

and sometimes roasted. The building
is now occupied as a general store
and residence by a merchant who is
rated at about $4,000, 900 and carries
an immense stock of goods
Our visit of a few days concluded
we went on to the Port of Spain, on
the Isle of Trinidad. Here we found
d very active town and a beautiful
island Boats from South America
and England make this a regular
stopping place. l look for great i'm
provement there on account of it's
location with reference to South
America and the vast resources near
by.
From the Port of Spain we went
about 100 miles northeast to the last
island in the Atlantic before the
boats cross to England. The island,
called Barbados, is very well Guilt
waited, the principal crop being sugar
cane. Almost everywhere is a sugar
mill operated by a windmill. The
cane is drawn to the mills by oxen.
/ There it is ground and hoiled until
it becomes. coarse sugar. Then it is
exported either to England or the
nited States to be refined The
island has many elegant roads, but as
it is of coral the roads are very
white 1t is advisable, when motor
ing, to wear colored goggles to pro-
tect the eyes.
From Barbados to Porto Rico we
passed through the Windward and
Leeward islands, stopping for a few
hours at each. At ST. Vincent we
took aboard Princess Marie Louise of
Schlesweig. Holstein, a granddaughter
of Queen Victoria and a cousin of
King George of England, who was

HUNTS FOR GAS LEAK
WITH LIGHTED MATCH
. J. Elwell Narrowly Escapes Los
ing His New Home.

J. j ElWell hunted for a gas leak
under his new house at SO7 East
Monroe street yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. He employed the
surest way to discover the spot where
the gas was escaping, that of apply
ing a lighted match to the joints. The
flash that came finally showed where
the leak existed, singed Elwelrs eye
broWs and set fire to his house.
When EIwelI managed to get to his
feet there was a merry blaze and a
neighbor seeing the smoke called the
fire department. ElWell realizing the
state of affairs ran a line of garden
hose under the house and despite the
thick smoke crawled to the shut off
and finally eXtinguished the blaze
just as the department was about
to turn the water on him and his
house.
The residence which was threatened
was just completed and Elwell had
moved in but a day or two previous
| ly. The gas has been installed in
/ the house but few hours and it
is believed that an imperfect joint
was responsible for the leak.

easy to understand that the members
of any stock company are entitled to
a good deal more appreciation than
often is accorded to them, particularly
when their performances are of really
p-raiseworthy Character. They work
hard n they have two incentives to
that end. In the first place they are
more anxious to please the audiences
that see them than those audiences
can possibly be to be pleased by the
performance. Besides this, and per-
haps eve more influential with the
players, are the facts that they are in
that work because they love 1t, ano
that they desire to play the part
right, to depict the characters natur-
ally and through such an accomplish
ment to attain the highest possible art
in their work But it is work, and it
is hard work, and 1t means strenuous
and sustained effort sometimes meet
ing with small thanks. sometimes, it
must be confessed, entitled to but
little praise as far as the excellence
of its results is concerned, but always
entitled to- a degree of appreciation
that will never be accorded to it or
to its performers until the public has
grown to understand at least a little
of the amount of work tina the actor
must put into his seasons appearance
and the circumstances under which he
has to labor to perform the parts so
that the audience may lean back In
Its cushioned seats and think: How
easy 1T is! Why it lis as easy as notl-
ing; I could do that myself, I know I
