might disband, and thus the labor of many months would come to naught.
 Of course Organizer Christ's personal interests must be considered, and now that he is candidate for delegate to the National Convention, it may pos sibly be his desire to remain out of the territory for the present and thus avoid taking position during the Constitu- tional campaign, and in that event the two league clubs that he has labored so hard and so long to organize should be willing to sacrifice themselves for the welfare of their creator.
 But if it is Organizer Christ's pleas ure to return, the committee should not detain him, or if he should conclude that his mission in Arizona has been accomplished, let the committee send him to the Cannibsl Islands or some other iar-cf country. By all means consider his personal interests, for they are paramount to those of the Repub- licans of Arizona who are now wander ing in absolute darkness while their guardian is hobnobbing with the great men of the land, and telling of his grand political achievements in Arizona.
 Reverence for one's creator is 6 biblical injunction, and the few Republicans that Organizer Christ has organized have no right to object, and the others in the territority are indii- ierent. So fl Organizer Christ should prefer not to return at once, he should be granted an indefinite leave of absence, but the Republicans of Arizona should not be allowed to remain entirely without an organizer and boss. Rather than for such catastrophe to occur, it would be better to designate Homo, or some other person of equal intelligence and political standing with the absent organizer, to act as his temporary successor.

Last Days and Best Days.

Every human beings last days should be his best days If he has wisely used the earlier half of his life, with the av- craze opportunities accorded to mankind for amassing property, he will have money enough to maintain him without grinding toll. The first half of mans life may be devoted b working for others and doing their will, but by the time he enters on the second half he will be able to spend the rest of his years in pleasing himself. w
 The laws of hygiene are now so well understood that anybody may learn them. A man should have learned so we'll how to take care of himself during the first half of his life that during the last half he will have perfect health.
 Experience will have knocked off the rough corners of his nature and sweet ened his temper, He will have met so many disappointments and lived safe through them all and come out happily, that at length he will have learned that no sorrow can be eternal and no misery is so great that there will not yet be a good deal of fun on the after side of it. The crude passion and fierce greediness of raw youth will have exhausted them selves. Care and disappointed hope can no longer eat the heart out and ruin the digestion. The experience of years will enable the man to take his fellow man and the events of life harmoniously and kindly. His face will reflect the content and repose of his soul, and he will be better looking than he was in his youth. He will also have learned to be more careful of his manners, dress and per sonal appearance, for that will be one of the lessons taught by wise experience. Oh, yes; mans last days are his bes. days

Thomas Higgins San Antonio, Tex, has
read several accounts Of the battle Of Gettys-
burg, and has discussed that memorable fight
with many OF the veterans but there is one
particular feature Of that battle he cannot COM

Sighting was done, both armies conteEding with
al, their might 70 gain and hold that part Of
the battlefield known as Little Round Top.
The Coufcier1tes fought with great determine
ton, and were slaughtered in large numbers
for their do2ged onsIaughts. All histories
agree that the fight for the possession Of Little
Round Top was very savage, and yet the writer
has been informed by a few Of the veterans
who participated in that battle that in tho rear
Of Tire crest there was stationed quite a force,
to he used 10 holding the crest in case the Con-
