Monsieur Finds Phoenix Wonderful

Monsieur Jaques Robillard, retired business man of Quebec city on a tour of the west, yesterday bemoaned his luck because he could not find enough views of Phoenix to send to Canada to give his French Canadian relatives an idea of what Phoenix is like.
 Tell me- he saic, why are there not real views of your city of the sun to be had?'' His question was answered by another question:: What do you think of Phoenix from the viewpoint of a traveller from afar?'
 "Dieu" he replied "all I cannot ex- press would fill your newspaper. I am not master enough of your English to make plain my admiration Remember I come from Our Lady of the Shows, the land Where King Winter makes beautiful the most ugly things with his mantle of snow, and l am not judge enough to do justice to so much that is excellent"
 "I bless my eyes that l have seen Phoenix. It is the Beulah land of the tourist. To tell you what I think, then woulG have to be an artist, poet, lover and a great writer"
 1T feel when I breathe your air that I want tO be young again. that I want to do the great things, and I feel as if I had opened door in my chamber and stepped into dreamland. All is so new. so bright, so resplendant in this city
  explain what I feel in the poor woros of English. Perhaps in the musical tongue Of Italy or Spain, l could convey my impressions of your Phoenix. but the English is too crude. raw and un- sympathetic to describe the beauties of such q mistress as your city"
 T feel sorry for so many that GO not know what they miss by staying al ways in the cold Northland. and it will be bright memory for me to remem- Der that I have seen your beautiful Arizona city I leave tomorrow and Monsieur I am in love with your city. and leave it with regret. please excuse my poor words in answering your question:.

 Why Do They Do It?
 Members of the Phoenix police force who come into contact with the sub genera of the genus homo and see h,I- man nature at closer range than the average layman attempt to classify every new characteristic of the human family and as rule are fairly success ful in their diagnosis. They recognize the "hop-head" and other freaks with half an eye. but one phase of the pub lie mind they cannot understand is that of the man that pays $50 or more for bicycle then leaves it for hours on a sidewalk, goes home without it. finds it gone the next day and bemoans his loss and never thinks of going to the police station to report it. where 99 cases out of 100 he would find the missing wheel. which probably had been
