be subject to duty. Tiaguana, the little
Mexican town we visited, contains at
fractions for tourists of various tastes.
There are curios and Mexican and Ind
ian work to be bought, drinks, hard
and soft to be had, there are bull
fights to be seen on Sundays, there
are wide open places where we saw
gambling carried on in all conceivable
forms, even women taking hand. A
point of interest was an old Mexican
fort built of adobe where followers of

San Diego Fair .

r
The San Diego tair is q dream Of
beauty and boost for California Every
day there are naost interesting and edu-
,cative free lectures Illustrated by NOV
ing pictures on the various counties of
the great state. They give one very
comprehensive idea of the geography
and resources, the industries and char
lacter of the various localities, and there
is no better way of gettin G aequain ted
with California than by means of these
lectures.
The great charm at California hes in
the profusion and variety of its xege-
tatjon. And this also is one of the great
attractions of the San Diego fair. On
all sides the tourist is struck by the
beauty of tres and flower, and in vain
does he wonder what may be the name
of this tree or that growing crop. Then
looms large the value of friend like
our Mrs. Price, who has gathered up
during her stay in the west Veritable
encyclopaedia array of practical and sci
entfic facts botanical terms, historic and
geographic information, and who c an
give satisfying answers to the questions
from the eager enquirer.

No Business Depression

San Diego with it's beautiful harbor,
its mountain scenery and its vine clad
flower bedecked homes makes favor
able impression upon the tourist. #
there is . business depression through r9f' :
out the west, as we have been told, the
fact is notsnoticeable to the visitor, at
least at this time when the streets are
thronged by fair crowds. Neither do
we hear the residents admit that times
are hard. High class public buildings.
such as graded school buildings, an
enormous high school, new stadium
or amphitheater and a fine large park,
prove the activity and civic spirit of the
city and certainly show no lack of pros
perity.

A Mind Reading Craze
By MARTHA V. MONROE

A mind reader had come to town and had given some astonishing public eX- hibItions. But this had not the effect on the beau monde. of an exhibition he gave at the house of Mrs. MacGruder, one of society's leaders. This private entertainment made him fashionable. and every young man who had shaken his brains down into his heels 2: cOtil- lion parties and every young girl whose aristocratic manners and con served beauty had given her the right to look down on her sisters who had the brains to take down the dictation of a scientific constructor or q mcr- chant prince was talking about mind reading.
 Pete Barnical and Lucy WitridSe were sitting together, she on sofa, he in a chair opposite her. He was holding a skein of yarn on his hands which she was winding into a ball.
 q have heard" said Miss Witridge. "that Mrs. Powelton is very much dis pleased that Mrs. MacGrudcr got ahead of her by giving that mind reading exhibition at her house. You see, all society is talking about it. Of course 1t Is greatly to Mrs. MacGruder'S cred 1t to have introduced the matter"
 Did the mind reader find out who had the most mind:"
 q don't think that was his object. He told what people were thinking about"
 What were they thinking about"
 "What a question! It wasn't that which was wonderful; it was that he could tell without knowing what they were thinking about"
 How could he tell what he didn't know|
 She lifted her big brown liquid eyes from a tangle in the yarn she was straightening out to his with a kind of puzzled wonder.
 q didn't mean to say" she replied when she had given her brain time to work out an answer, that he could tell what person was thinking about without knowing it. hut he didn,t know
