TRUE STORIES OF THE EAST AND
THE WEST
By w. A. Fraser
Mr.. Fraser is civil engineer, and his pro-
fessional work has taken him into many
parts OF India and about all parts of Canada.
And wherever he has gone he has had an eager
interest in whatever was rare and picturesque
in the locality and in the lives OF the people
Thus he has gathered material for no end of
good stories-stories that in their substance
are always true and often are true to the very
letter as well. And these stories he tells, as
Our readers already have proof, with no ord-
nary art.

was quite deserted, Ralph and Antoin-

Ruth, and watched her arrange the
flowers.

The Memory of the Dead.

There are few influences so hallowed
to the living as the memory of the
dead. They make good mei better;
sometimes they make bad men good
it is a grateful and beneficent GUS
tom which has been established of de-
voting one day in the year especially to
the commemoration of the virtues of
the dead. Their memory comes to us,
hidden or unbidden. 1t comes with the
morning light; it comes with the even
ing shades; it comes in the stiffness of
the night. Whenever it comes it is
always welcome and precious. Indeed,
one of our chief comprehensive, which
we cultivate and enjoy more almost
than any other, is the recollection of
those we have loved and lost.

WHICH TOWN IS TIC BEST?

Primarily that is question for the phy sician, if there is a physician in the case if not, try them all.

 if lower altitude and distinctly semi tropical climate are desired, the three places most likely to be considered are Yuma,
 tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; Is the warmest and probably the oriest of the three, has the least population, ana the smallest provision for visitors.
 Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory, and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest ia the Southwest. It's adobe houses give it d Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. It's newer houses are of handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Iertit9Tia@ University ia here, apG t r-4s

Phoenix is the centre Of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory.

It is the Territorial capital, las the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatjc Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will ind an intelligent, orderly, enterprisine and most hospitable community.
