HOGS AS MORTGAGE L1FrRRs,

French Artichokes, nor their owners

cholera proof, so, instead of fattening
~buzzards, they help lift that mortgage.

The Purpose of 4 m,ction.

An Ctions do not spring out OF the
dust; do not be impatient with them +;
we need something to soften this hard
life, On, if it were all buying, selling,
getting gain, outrunning n another
in a race for wealth, in which the
racers take no time to record them
selves, there would be no gardens on
the face of the earth, no places con
secrated to floral beauty no houses built
for music, no churches set up fer prayer
But affection helps to keep us right;
ofHjction helps to bring us to our knees.
Poverty says: '"Think, fool, think"
Aft ction opens the Bible at the right
places. If you, strong man, with the
radiant face and the full pocket, were
to open the Bible, it would open up
side down and at nothing. But you,
broken hearted mother; you, child of
sickness; you, orphan and lonely one,
your Bible falls open always st the
right place. Give me your family BIZ
BILE and l will tell you your history.
The Bible of the strong, prosperous,
rich man, tits like himself; well kept
too we'll. Hand me yours, man of the
broken heart and the tear stained
cheeks and the Redeemed eyes and the
furrowed brow. Ali all marks and
thumbings and turnings down and

Lamentations-Why, I need no CON
cordance to this Bible if I want to seek
out the promises. I see you euest has
been sorrow, and the hospitality you
have offered him has been patience.
II you would know the value of the
Bible in the house, consult those who
have needed it most, and abide by their
sweet reply.-Joseph Parker, D. D.

A Hard Way.

The way of the transgressor is hard.-PRoY-
ERBs 1915.
Here we have a statement by an in
spired writer that is abundantly u
tanned by human observation and ex
perience. Infidels, sceptics and Bible
Critics have never controverted this
statement. As a rule they never con-
~troverted Bible facts that come within
the of time. They are wise
enough to know that human expe
rience is against them and they can't
overturn it. They take great liberty
with Bible facts that relate to eternity,
something beyond human experience.
Owner of a soul, watch them. If the
Bible drives truth home so often where
experience sustains does not that fact
entitle it to our confidence when it re-
yeals things said to be connected with
eternity2
MY soul, be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise"
The sinners way is hard
o Because it is unpleasant to him
self.
~ Because it is unpleasant to his
relatives, his friends and his God.
- Because it is deceptive-leads one
to have erroneous views of Gods mer,
cy and justice. He sins, hoping for
mercy, and being suddenly cut off,
meets Justice. Prov. 1912.
The way is hard, because it leads to
corrective punishment in this life, and
penal punishment in the life to come.
See what the actual life of the sinner is,
then think what it might have been,
and the probable difference is sad pun,
ishment as he thinks Of wasted oppor,

 Jerome News: A mining deal of the greatest importance to Coconino county was completed last week. For number of years the rich copper de- nosjts on the rim of the Grand Canyon were being developed in small way. Only surface development work was done and few carloads of ore shipped. John W. Garrett of the Baltimore x Ohio railroad, Arthur A. Brownlee of New York, and other parties become interested in these prospects, and the result was the bonding of twenty claims for eighteen months For sSj, 900.
 Yuma Sentinel: Considerable ex- cltement has been caused this week among our mining men by the arrival Of a miner by the name Of Edwards, who came in from the s. II. noun tains with some exceedingly rich ore. It is said by old miners that it will go fully 5000 to the ton. Edwards got a supply of provisions on hts sarriyal and some time during the night made his e-eapo uaseen On tue following day those who lay around ready to jump everything in sight, were crestfallen when they discovered their bird of wealth had flown and left no trace behind him.
 Silver Belt: F. NJ. Cooper was in town last Friday and reported that development work on the Christmas mine had opened large body of ore. The Christmas is one of q group Of claims lying on the north side of Salt river, below the mUutiru uf sfuntpeTeeN. The tunnel has been driven l05 feet on the ledge and cross-cut on the north side of the tunnel has gone through eleven feet of ore assaying over 80 in gold. They are now cross cutting to the south. MT. Cooper, who owns an interest in the property, feels greatly encouraged by the fine showing.
 Republican: A sale of the Bullard mine between Congress and Harqua Hala is pending. This mine lies north of Cullens well about thirty miles southwest of Congress. It is said to be a rich property, but only partially developed, though three shafts give fair idea of the extent of the ore body. The intending purchasers are Chicago people and the price is said to be $500,000 The sale hinged on the result of a test run on fifty tons, which was completed last Saturday. The Chicago parties agreed to take the mine if the plates would shcw any thing from S6 to ss. The average showing was sl0 and persons inter- ested believe there is no doubt of the consummation of the deal.
