AN APRIL DAY.

An April day-a leaden sky,
A pause. and thought of days gone by
IN JOY and pain.
A whistIing and the distant wall
or winter gone
telltale whisper in the vale
That life lives on.
The tears Of Nature falling for
The past;
a memory Of SHOWS now oer
Which could not last,
A warmth that wakes the sleeping "or'o
With breath of spring; ,
4 million trees with buds unturIeu
Where birds will sing.
A ufe filed full OF sweet, dead days
Remembered now;
A future, crossed by unknown ways.
We know not how. -'fN - II

ANNUAL CATHOLIC FAIR,

 Attendance Good.

Babbitt's Hall for the past three evenings has been the central point of interest to the people of the surround ing country. The attendance at the Catholic fair has been sufficient to gladden. the hearts of the promoters Of the entertainment.
 The various booths were beautifully decorated with colored streamers and ribbons, Japanese umbrellas, fans. Chinese lanterns and green foliage, tastefuIly arranged, making altogether combination pleasant to look upon.
 The success of former years encour- aged the ladies to renewed effort this year, resulting in the most successful fair ever held.
 Mrs. J. B. POuthie had general charge of all booths and management of the fair, handling the various euter- prises with such skill and savOir faire that there has been no hitch in the pro ceedings from the first to the last hour.
 Mrs. w. fl. Carroll. assisted by Mes danes HOllihan and Thomas Devine, was in charge of the Fancy Booth, where all the fancy:wo:k of the fair was congregated in elegant profusion. This booth was of especial interest To the ladies, and because of this interest many of the sterner sex fingered there

Candy hearts, "with printin' on 'em." were not in demand for the reason that they A,ad better than they taste, and the average Flagstaff young lady desires that all such deIicacies be fresh, caring not what the condition of ,he male purchaser may be.

one thing to the lasting credit of these
old time barons was their love for the
beauties of nature. This is still visible,
not only in the adornment of their cas-
ties and of the parks surrounding them,

mark the old roads of Japan. Often these

the stuffy railroad coaches OF the present
regime and breathes the dense clouds of
tobacco smoke that fill FIRST and third class
coaches alike, he is willing to grant that
not all the blessings Of life In Japan are
