HOSPITAL OF ST. JOSEPH.
A Phoenix Institution of Which More
 Ought to Be Known

There is an institution in Phoenix of which more ought to be known. It is St. Joseph's hospital of the Sisters of Mercy, near the corner of Fourth and Polk streets. It is commonly re- garded as a money making enterprise and it is in the sense that churches are. Momsg is acceptable for the good that may be accomplished with it. Churches, however, do not insist that their beneficiaries shall uender a monetary equivalent Neither does the hospital of the Sisters.
 The hospital was built hhree years ago. The Sisters had obtained $1 800 by subscription. With this they purchased four lots and erected the hospital, altogether at a cost of $9, 1000. All the original indebtedness of $7,5O0 has been discharged butt $2,500. The financial showing is excellent but 1t is as nothing compared with the char itable work performed within those three years. The whole has besm made possible by the extreme self denial of the Sisters, whose daily per sonal expense is less than the amount thalI many a man in Phoenix spends for cigars or beer. The hospital is under the control of Mother Paul, the mother superior of the order. The Sis ters in attendance are Sister Dom:nick, Sister Burkman, Sister Mary Michel and Sister Bernard.
 A reporter for The Republican wis ited the hospital last Sunday and made a careful study of the institu- tion, its workings and its record. At the Iaft of the entrance there is a small reception room and library, which, when the hospital is crowded, is utilized as a receptacle for the sick. Across the hall is small operating room. There are five other rooms on this floor and as many more on the second. There are on each floor bath rooms aud water closets, all admirably connected with a sewer. The most striking feature of the hospital is its marvellous neatness and cleanliness. which psrvades the premises from the very gateway.
 There are facilities for handily car ing for fourteen patients, though un- der pressure more may be accommo- dated. Both stories are surrounded by broad veuamdas on which on sunny

 It's astonishing how suddenly and unexpectedly misfortune can Oventake e one. On Monday morning a milk ranchman near Phoenix and patron of the Maricopa Creamery company came to town with load of milk He received a check for milk deliv- cred the week before. He was ambi- tious to increase his wealth and nat urally found his way to @ faro table, where he played all day, all night and a part of yesterday in a fluctuating but generally unsuccessful way. At last he went broke and had nothing slse Ito think of but his team, which he had not seem since he anchored it to a hitching rack twenty-four hours be- fore. The team was impounded late on Monday night, the fses amounting to $2. He narrowly escaped arrest for cruelty to animals. He was unwilling to go home last might and face an i'm dignant wife, who had wasted her energies the day before in getting an other cargo of milk ready.
 Toltec lodge No. 5, I. o. R. M, is preparing for parade on December 29 which in gorgeousness will eclipse any event im Phoemix since the great carnival and everything before. There are ten tribes in the territory, com prising a membership of 1929. As surances have been received that not fewer than 400 Red Men from outside wigwams win be present, so that the total number of members of itlhe order in the parade will not be short of 600. Arrangements have been made to secure fifty mounted Maricopas as representatives, of the primitive red mem. One of the leading and the most striking feature will be a float drawn by six white horses. The float will represent the historic incident ct John Smith and Pocahonas. The ad- venturer will lie (and he is believsd to have been an adept liar) with his head upon a rock awaiting bhe clubs of his executioners. Pocahontas with one arm about his neck win uphold the othar to avert the descending bludgeons and at the same time will cast appealing eyes at old Powhattan. The parade will be lighted by $150 worth of red fire and ether illumi- nations.

The bottom-board of the hive should
not rest directly upon the ground. This
will, in a short time, rot out the bottom
Of the hive, and will also draw damp
ness to the interior Cleats for each end
of the bottom-board should be three or
four inches wide, and when nailed on

will allow space for free circulation of

THE POTOMAC BASS.

Said by Good Judges to BE the Gan-
lest Of Fishes. ~ -
This fish is a wonder. Seldom ex-
ceeding i've pounds in weight, nothing
gamier is to be found in the waters of
the earth. No mountain trout or pike
or jpickerel or salmon or. ouananiche,
pound for pound, is his equal. To an
Unsuitable appetite and the predatory
instinct of the eagle he joins super
natural strength and activity and the
temper of the devil. Firmly fastened
at the end of strong smell and 60 feet
OF line, he will leap two yards into the
air and shake his head like dog in
the effort to disengage himself. There
is no trick known to fnny tribes that he
will not practice. He darts under the
boat with wicked rush and shows his
knowledge of the frailty of the tackle.
He will circle round and round a snag
until the line is hopelessly involved.
He will sink like stone to the bottom
and lie there like log. Lifted to the
surface by main strength, he is off
with the speed of light straightaway as
the crow flies until the reel buzzes like
bee and the thumb pressed upon it
burns as if the hand held live coal.
Sometimes he will keep going until the
strands part with snap and he flashes
On up the river with 200 feet of costly
silk trailing behind him. When seem
ingly exhausted he is reeled in and lies
a sluggish, defeated mass within yard
of the boat, his gills opening and shut.

man leans forward with the dip net,
when with a whirl and lunge and
nlomentary flash of his silvery sides he
is away, and another half hour of in
tense struggle begins. It needs quick
hand, cool brainsaswrist of steel and
the patience OF Griselda to capture the
smal-mouthed bass when he is at his
best and bent on business.
The history of his introduction to the
Potomac is peculiar. A quarter of
century ago he was unknown to these
waters. At that time farmer with
sportsman's blood in him imported
some of the young and put them in his
fish pond, which was near the river.
Two years after, when the fry had at
tanned respectable size, one of the
freshets which this country is noted
for overflowed the pond, broke down it's
walls and swept it's contents into the
river. So pugnacious is the bass that
in the time since elapsed it has utterly
exterminated its largc-mouthed kins-
men, which before was plentiful, and
all other fishes common to the stream.

No Better.

The businessike way that children
have of considering the most sacred
things is often little startling to thei,
elders. A little Lynn girl came home
from Sunday school one day impressed
with the need Of Divine assistance tc

mother encouraged her and explained
to her how she could seek aid, but she
said:
mo, mother; you speak to Him about
it; don't like to-"
A few days afterward she suddenly
inquired:
did you ask Him, mamma? ?" at the
same time explaining her question by
an upward jerk of her thumb.
