PETRIFIED FOREST.

Is In Arizona and Covers One Hundred
Square Miles.
To my mind next to the Grand can
yon of the Colorado, the most interest
ing and impressive of the natural won
ders of this great Arizona museum is the
petrifed forest, which covers nearly 100
square miles, within easy distance, either
on foot or horseback, from Billings sta
ton on the Santa Fe railroad; but it can
be more easily reached by carriage from
Holbrook, where better accommod atiOns
can be found. The government explOr-
ers have chriStened it Chalcedony PARK.
The surface of the ground for miles
and miles around is covered with gigan-
tic logs three or four feet in diameter,
petrified to the core. Many of them are
| translucent. Some are almost transpa-
rent All present the most beautiful
| shades of blue, yellow, pink, purple, red
| 9pd gray. Some are like smoky topaz,
and some are as pure and white as ala~
: baster. At places the chips of agate from
the trunks that have Crumbled lie foot
deep upon the ground. and it is easy to
obtain cross sections of trees showing
every vein and even the bark. Compares
lively little OF this agate has been used
in manufacturing, although it is easy to
obtain. Manufacturing jewelers. of New
York nave made table tops and boxes
and other articles from strips that have
been sent them, and if the material was
not so abundant it's beauty would CONS
mand emo nous prices. Where you can
get car load of jewelry for nothing you
are not likely to pay high prices for it.
A bird S eye view of the petritied for
ests on a sunny day suggests gigantic
kaleidoscope. The surface OF the earth
resembles an infinite variety of rainboWs'
The biologists say this great plain, now
5000 feet above the sea, was once Gov
cred by forest, which was submerged
for ages in water strongly charged with
minerals, until the fibers of the trees
were thoroughly soaked and transformed
into eternal stone. Many of the trunks
are still packed in a deposit of fine clay,
which was left by the receding waters,
but the feroson of the wind has pulver-
lied much of the clay and carried 1T oil
in the air, exposing the secrets that ma
ture buried under its surface.
One great tree spans a great gulch Az
feet wide, 1t hes where it fell centuries
full specimen of petritied wood. Inc
rings and the bark can be traced through
the translucent agate, and 1t is nrm
enough and strong enough to last as
ne any centuries as it has already spent IN
its peculiar position. 1t is undoubtedly
the only bridge of agate in the WorId,
and alone is worth long journey to see.

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLDLUHE

There are no days like the good ole
days
The days when we We're youthful!
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful:
Before love for sOrdid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em,
As buxum and smart and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make 'em!
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
A piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin'!
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together.
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee Sang to the summer
dawn
Of the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip. poor will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love-
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine agar
For that precious grace-GOd save us
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fouder
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yOnder.

INGERS0LL ON DEATH,
\ Conversation With the Great 7Ag.
nOSUic' Just Before HE Died.


wv hat do you think of death?" 1gF-g
The question was put to Colonies In,
gersoll by an old friend, as he sat IN
his easy armchair on the broad veran
da OF his home, at Dobbs Ferry, on q
recent afternoon, says an exchange.
"W hat do think of death?" echoed
he. "My first thought is like yours,
no doubt, like every mans who has
looked into an open grave where be
has just put beloved son or daughter
CIR frIend--I would like to abolish it."
The great agnostic paused, and his
eyes rested for a few moments
thoughtfully on the beautiful valley
below. Then be continued:
"But my second thought about
death is different. If you and [ could
abolish it would we not lose more than
we should gain?
Imagine us all living on and on,
and never dying, never having to say
the last farewell, never knowing the
pain of parting. l fear chat we would
become too satisfied with ourselves, too
selfish.
"With nothing before us but the
prospect of happiness and pleasure, to
which the years would bring neither
interruption nor end, we would surely
lose the strongest stimulant to our
highest affections.
death is not all evil. 1t sweeps the
finest chords of that wonderful harp
which we call the human soul as moth
ing else could do
"There are two great master musi-
Clans that play upon our hearts-loye
and death. And [ look at death as the
greatest of the two. If there were no
death in the world there would be no
love.
"Death is the sternest, coolest, most
pitiless fact IN human experience. 1t
is the great hard rock of universal
pam and sorrow. But around, grow
ing out Of it, and, as it seems, depend
ing upon 1T for their very existence,
the tenderest, sweetest and grandesu
emotions of which our hearts are cap
able spring into being. Just as
the tendris of the loveliest ivy vines
fasten their gentle fingers clingingly
to the face of the rudest and hardest
granite powders, so loves tendrils
reach out and cling with eternal te>
nacity to the face of death"

what?
their fists: tighter they press to the
living things beneath them; they look
not to one another; words they have
not. In the presence of this heat they
dare not breathe. COnvulsiVely they
cling to the stumbling beasts, and in
low, dry sobs the anguish of body
breaks forth. Between the two, the
brute and man, there strikes flash OF
mutual pain and torment. An instant,
and down the camel line there breaks
the brute's shrill, soul-lide cry. In it
they voice their all, the pent-up spirit
Of the bitter yellow beast, burdened and
tortured for life. In it comes a ques-
ton for the shrinking Wretches lying
on their humps. The bitter sounds
fail on the parched tense air and die
away.
Far and away comes a gasp-a hot
vicious pant. Again 1T comes--a
breath of fire that touched and is gone.

TIE CURTAIIAIENT OF THE NE

Last fall, just before the election, we
published an able and instructive article
on the negro as voter from the pen
of Mr.. Charles Hallock, who has given
the subject much thought and investiga-
ton. If we mistake not he is a Northern
man by birth who has spent much time
in the South, wintering several years at
Newbern and Fayetteville. He is life
long editor, and one of the most accom-
plished men who has made journalism Il
profession.
ITO Vote or Not to Vote is the title
of a thoughtful paper from the pen of
Mr.. Hallock in today's paper 1t was
written while the Legislature was consid-
ering the suffrage amendment and was
read with profit by some of the mem
bers of the committee that drafted the
Constitutional amendment. 1t is timely
and instructive today. We hope to have
other contributions from Mr.. Hallock
upon this theme upon which no writer
in the country is better posted. a series
of articles from Mr.. Hallock's pen were
used some years ago by the leaders in
Mississippi to promote the passage of the
Constitutional amendment in that State.
