4 very effective way of exalting Christ before the world is to live in such close friendship with him that We will gather in our own lives the sweet ness and beauty of his character. There is a valley in Romania which is almost entirely given up to the cultivation of roses; for miles and miles on every side stretch the rose gardens. Their fragrance fills the air and scents every thing that comes into the valley. It is said that travellers stopping over for q few days in this valley become so per- tuned in their garments with the fra. grance of the roses that it elings to them for days afterward. It will be like that if we associate intimately with Jesus Christ. The fragrance of his love and hope and sympathy will cling to us and make Christ seem Iowa. ble to those who know him not.-Dr. L. Albert Banks.

The TWO Kinds of seIf-Denial.

All life is system of self-denial. The wicked man denies himself as much as the most conscientious Chris tian. The difference is in the kinds of things toward which the seIf-deniaI is applied. Daniel denied himself the wine and highly seasoned meats of the kings court in order that he might keep his head clear and his body strong and vigorous. Be1shszzar, on the other hand, denied himself clear head in or der that he might have the present pleasures of Wfae-drinking. Daniel could not get aloas without prayer and reYerent worship toward God, but he could get along without drunkenness. Belshazzar could not do without his sprees, but he could do without the pray r-meeting. The difference in des- tiny of the two men, the one coming to old age in honor and nobility, and the ether going down in a drunken FeFel, was the logical outcome of the several paths Of f-denial they had been. pursuing their youth.-Dr. L. 4. Taks.

Accept Jesus Now.

Reconstruction is the great thief of Souls.
 The enemy of mankind endeayors first to persuade men that the Christian religion is nothing but a cunningly de- vised fable, and failing in that, t1s great cry is Not now; some other time.
 Many who are almost persuaded to accept Jesus as their Saviour, are de- ceiyed by the thought of a more con- venient season, and say not tonight, seeming to forget that now is the ac- cepted time and this is the day of Sal vation. We should remember that lo- morrow is not ours, and accept Jesus now.-The Religious News.

Re CIean First,

"That is an excellent expression of Stephen Grellets: You have been starched, but not washed Anything to avoid the washing processt The main thing is to get the starched ef- fecti Now the divine method goes deeper; it begins with the washing. Religion never polishes up an old cor rupt life; it does not simply put stiffen- ing into our soiled lives. It cleanses, it purifies, it whitens. "-The American Friend.
 "A man got in his wagon and found his horse could not move, because it was still "hitched at the mouth" For the same reason some of us cannot move on, No vessel can leave its dock until the last shore line is loosed or snapped.-Christian Standard.

Do Your Duty.

A LEGEND OF ST. NICHOLAS.
The Punishment of tue Father Who Did
 Not Fulfil His Promise.

The Punishment of tue Father Who Did
 Not Fulfil His Promise.
 A certain man, who was very de- sirous of having an heir to his estate, vowed that, if his prayer were granted. the first time he took his son to church he would offer a cup of gold on the altar of St. Nicholas. A son was granted, and the father ordered the cup Of gold to be prepared; but when it was finished, it was so wonderfully beautiful that he resolved to keep it for himself, and caused a silver one of less value to be made for the saint.
 After some time, the man went on a journey to accomplish his VOW; and, being on the way, he ordered his little son to bring him water in the golden cup he fad appropriated, but in doing so the child fell into the wat CT, and was drowned.
 Then the unhappy father 1amented himself, and wept, and repented Of his great sin. And, repairing to the church of st. Nicholas, he offered up the silver cup; but it fell from the al- tar; and 9 second and third time it fell; and while they looked on as- tonished, behold the drowned boy ap- peared before them. and stood on the steps of the altar, bearing the golden cup in his hand. He related how the good St. Nicholas had preserved him alive, and brought him there. The father, full of gratitude, offered up both the cups, and returned home with his son in joy and thanksgiving Mrs. Jameson's Sacred and Legendary Art''

Mexicans were unable to understand that James and Jim might be the name of the same person and Temple was referred to by both names in the papers relating to his case. This ob- struction was at last gotten over and Sheriff Leatherwood, whose term of of flee had expired, again went after him, acting as the agent of the territory
 On Wednesday night Governor Mur- phy received a telegram from the agent saying that Temple had been taken to Guaymas for trial by the federal au- thorfties. The Tucson Star of yester- day stated that he had been taken to Guaymas to be discharged. It is there fore uncertain whether his removal to Guaymas as a matter of form prece- dent to his surrender by the federal government to the American govern ment, or whether the MeXicans are persistirg in their original purpose CT trying him for a crime committed on American soil, the very thing this has been strenuOusly try ing to prevent. Sheriff LeatherwOod in his last telegram stated that letter containing details of the situation would follow.

DRIFTED THREE MILES
Body of Carl Smith Found Near o. H. ChriSty'S Farm.

The body of Carl Smith was found by A. J. Tweed and Joseph Smith brother of the deceased, at f o'clock yesterday morning. It W2s lodged in the Salt River Valley canal near a la eral headgate at the southwest corner of Q. H. Christys farm, about three miles west of Five Points. Upon being informed of his brothers death Wednesday night Joseph Smith immedi- ately set out with A. J. Tweed to look for the remains of the drowned man, and after carefully examining the canal which had in the meantime been emp tied. made the discovery mentioned. At the point where the body was found the lateral headgate was open. This created suction which drew the body to the floor of the gate, causing l. to lodge in such a manner as to roll off into the bed of the canal when the water was turned off.
 Sheriff Murray, Justice of the Peace Gray and coroneT's jury composed of IP Maullaly, J. H. Murray William |L3ughman, James G. Hammels, J. Mel nick and John Robles, and witnesses arrived at the place where the body was found and held an inquest at 6:30 a. m. Joseph Smith and A. J. Tweed identi- fled the remains.
 AnderinerO Aros, who was present at the drowning, was examined and testified that he had seen Carl Smith on the evening previous step into the Five Points saloon, but that he had said nothing to the persons around and shortly afterward walked over to the canal without any apparent manifesto tiOn of drunkenness. In company with another Mexican, Aros was attracted to the spot by the splash occasioned when

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

 Bible.
Great Interest in the Moody neet- inaS-nen Can Find Christ if
 They Seek-VaIue of Eternal Life

''How to Study the Bible" was MT. Moody's subject at his meeting at OsNeill hall yesterday afternoon. The hall was filled and MT. Moody asked that the door be closed so as not to disturb him while he was speaking.
 MT. Moody referred to the bible as Aood for the soul He said a good
 nany souls were pretty well starved. Nile suggested that to study the bible intelligently and to advantage, one should have a good concordance. His favorite was Crudens. It contains eight hundred pages of closely printed matter and is cheap. Another good book to have is one entitled, 'The New Topical Text Book" Another good helper is an inter-leaved bible, every other leaf blank for making notes.
 Then study the bible by topics, and study each topic thoroughly; months, if necessary. He said one of the most important things was to study regu- -larly every day. Set aside certain time, and then lock yourself in your room alone with God.
 At 2 o'clock the usual song service began and continued until the opening of the regular meeting, during which time the hall filled rapidly. Professor Towner sang the solos, Saved by Grace" and ''The Eye of Faith the latter being repeated by special re- quest. Prayer was offered by Dr. Hal sey and MT. McAfee, after which the choir sang a chorus while the offering was being received.
 When MT. Moody, bible in hand, stepped before the waiting congrega- tion, he said: ''I want to call your attention tonight to the other side of the truth presented last night. Those of you who were here know I spoke about God seeking the sinner, and tonight want to speak of the sinner seeking God, and I shall use three texts. The first one is: What seek ye?' When John saw Jesus he pointed Him out as the Lamb of God, and immediately two

 funeral procession, nor sorrow nor
 night nor gray hairs, but where we
 shall live forever. What is earthly life compared to this? And yet this is
 what you refuse You'd rather hold on to sin than gain an entrance to this eternal city. May God rebuke Satan here tonight and may his power over you be broken. You cant buy this life; you must seek and find.
 Seek the Lord while He may be fcund.' The text implies that time may come when He cannot be found. The foolish virgins called when it was too late, but it is not too late tonight. Call upon him now; don't wait. But you say, I wish I knew how Well, I'll tell you. Just say, Lord, save me or I perish He wants to save you, and He will hear and understand your prayer"
 MT. Moody told story of little boy who had been told that God would hear him if he prayed, and he decided to try. He had been taught the alpha bet, but that was all he knew, and in the attitude of prayer he lisped a, b, in his childish way Wasn't that prayer? Think you God did rot un- derstand him? I have letter written to me by my little grandchild. It is all covered with scratches, but it is chuck full of love and I understand it. God understands our cry, if it comes from our heart
 My third text is Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteous ness and all these things shall be added unto you MT Moody closed with an earnest appeal to attend first to the soul, instead of first to wealth, fame and luxury, as so many do. A prayer was held immediately after the service and many remained.
 The after meeting for men only at the Presbyterian church was conducted by Rev. William Moody eldest son of D. L. Moody. MT. ThOInas Gray, who is well known in Phoenix, was among the converts.

 WHAT PEOPLE SAY. :

Hon. George A. Wolf: The ''baby county" Navajo, which has lately been separated from its sister county, Apache, is rapidly becoming foremost as a stock and agricultural section. The sheep and cattle industries are as- stunning large proportions, the county containing from 10000 to 25,000 head of cattle, and probably 150,000 sheep, the latter increasing rapidly. The stock run on open ranges and feed largely on bunch grass which is usually plentiful in the foothills and smaller mountains. Farming is advancing and the outlook in that line is encOurag- ing. Movements for the further StOr- age of water are on foot and with more extensive system Of irrigation the farming industry will be in a flour ishing condition. The principal pro- ducts are wheat, corn, sorghum and vegetables, which as yet have only lCcal market. Some crops raised in the mountain districts a.e dependent on rainfall, while the main prCduc- tions are 'watered by irrigating sys- tems Winslow is the largest town of the county and is a railroad division point from the Santa Fe Pacific road. In Winslow is located thriving brick industry. The product is reputed to be superior to anything in the south west. The brick are cream cOlored and from hard adobe soil and to New Mexico and northern points in Arizona. HoIErOok is lively freighting point for Woodruff, Snow Flake, Fort Apache and other points in the southern part of the county.
 John T. Dunlap: The Steinegger building contains quite a nest of law offices TOW. Every room but one oG the second floor is occupied by attor> neys and this block premises to be the home of attorneys for many years to come.
 Dr. J. M. Ford I am just recover ing from an attack of grip. Have been confined to the house for ten days; ever since 1 returned from Gra- ham county and my runaway eXperi ences there. Either 1 am a hc'5dOo to the carriage when I go out to look at mining properties in Graham county or else Graham county is a hoodoo to me. Two years ago 1 went down there in company with J. A.

pearance Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, these being her opening
days. Despite the gloomy weather for
the greater part of the time, large
crowds visited the place to see the
beautiful creations made to adorn the
geutler Sex, and the ladies especially
eagerly scanned the spring wears that
are always so dainty. A minute des-
cription Of the display would make a

the artistic hand of the managers the
store was made "a thing Of beauty"
and all were fully repaid for their visit.
The decorations were superb, and the
viole, shades, the prevailing color, were
TO be seen on all sides. There was
also inspiring music during the opening
and customers and visitors were served
with delicious refreshments.
To the credit of Mrs. Hicks. she has
spared neither pains or money in orde,
to please her friends and to supply the
wants of her customers. We predic
