LAND AT PHOENIX.
Speaking of land In Eden precinct,
about three years ago I rode out In
the neighborhood of West Phoenix
with a gentleman who was supposed
to know all about land. Well, be
said the land out there was too poor
to raise a fuss on. "Well," I said
"that would be poor land."
A few days ago I went over the
same road and what a change has
taken place! New dwellings, wind
mills, young orchards of peaches
and pears, vineyards, strawberry
patches, all looking as well as any
to be found. Only a little work was
necessary to transform that land
from a patch of oak grubbs Into good
orchards.
CRAZED BY VSK OF TOBACCO.

helped to send Mary Lewis to the
psycopathlc ward of Bellevue last
week and to bring ber before a city
magistrate yesterday on the tech
nical charge of Insanity. The case
Is said to be without precedent.
The patient, apparently 38 years
old, never had been addicted to the
use of tobacco until two weeks ago.
when one of the teeth In her lower
left Jaw began to ache and she was
advised by an old man to buy a plug
ogf tobacco, bite off a generous por
tion and bold It In ber mouth. She
did so, and within three days she
had acquired the habit.
The ache disappeared, but as It
went away Mary heard strange
voices. A graphophone with a stri
dent voice called upon her to be
good, and a troupe of children, all
in white and numbering millions,
sang songs and recited verses until
she became unable to sleep. She
kept on chewing the tobacco, and
the mroe she chewed the louder be
came the tones of the graphophone.
Into sucb a condition did she
drift that It was deemed advisable
to have her undergo an examination
in the physcbopatbtc ward of Belle
vue, where her case waa diagnosed
as one of acute mania, with the use
of tobacco as the exciting and the
principle contributing cause.
