 A girl cannot too sedulously guard her mother, nor too gently bear with her, if the mother has reached a period where she is more easily wearied than formerly, and where little things vex her. To some of us there come days when our hearts are heavy because we were not so sweet and loving as we might have been, and God alone can help us when this realization comes too late.-Margaret E. Sangster, in the April Ladies Home Journal.

 One of the best laws ever made by any Arizona legislature was passed as an amendmSt to that portion of the code known as the Revenue bill. It provides that all persons, firms and corporations. must pay their taxes be- fore they can get hearing in court. This means that on the amount as sessed against any property and final ly fixed by the board of equalization. the taxes must be paid into the treas ury before the owners can be heard in court. After paying the tax the indi- vidual or company can sue the county for the recovery of that amount which 1 they believe to be excess of what their taxes should be. This will put stop to the practice of entering suits against the county in order to avoid payment of taxes for a year or two.- Stafford Guardian.
