an heretical sect. Finally he was con-
verted to Christianity by Philip The
stories of Simon Magus and of his beau
tiful companion Helen of Tyre, which
have come down to us, are strange and
fantastic and distorted by the mists of
years, but it Is certain that in his day
he had a large following, and for time
it looked as if his gospel would spread in
excess Of the gospel of Christ.
In the. Acts we read: There was 2
certain ma called Simon, which before
time in this same city (Samaria) used
seTcery and bewitched the people of sa.
n aria, giving out that himself was some
great one, to whom they all gave heed.
from the least to the greatest, saving:
This man Is the great power of God
And to him they had regard because OF
tie long tine he had bewitched them with
sorceries. But when they believed Pktlip.s
rrt aching the things concerning the king
dom Of Godand the name OF JESUS Christ
Trey were baptized, both men and womea
Then Sim On himself believed also, and
when he was baptized he remained with
Philip and " oadered, beholding the mira
cles and signs which we're done.

ing on of the apostles hands the Holy
Chest was given, he Offered them money

%*s Craze of the Crusaders. .
A strange delusion Of the Middle Ages
manifested itself in what is known as the
"Children's Crusade" Early in 1918, a
sudden religious frenzy seized upon the
children of France and Germany, and
they gathered into bands with the inten-
ton of proceeding to Jerusalem and res
cuing the Holy Sepulchre from the Turks.
The flame of their enthusiasm was
famed by designing men who desired to
get them on board ship and then sell
them as slaves In the ports of the Bar
barry coast Thirty Thousand boys and
girls bearing banners and crosses and
chanting hymns marched to Marseilles
and Genoa to embark upon their voyage to
the Holy Land. It was expected that be-
Islam would miracuously be destroyed.
The ships on which the children en-
barked with the exception OF two or
three, were wrecked on the coast of Italy
and all on board lost. The ships which
escaped were taken to the African coast,
where the children In them were sold into
slavery The young crusaders who went
to Genoa found no ships awaiting them
there, for the merchants who were privy
to the affair had expected them all at
Marseilles. The people Of Genoa seem to
have recovered speedily from their delu-
sion when they found the thousands Of
children in their streets, and finaNy per-
suaded them to return to their homes.

which were shipped to Texas.
 Range News: During the year end ing June 30, 1900, there were shipped out of the territory l5S, 253 head of cattle. Wilcox is at the head of the list, 27,SS7: Tucson, l5,723: Benson, ls,O66; Holbrook, 0,663; Tempe, Il ,4s4.
 Winslow Mail: Frank Daine and Ed Bargman drove in some beef cat tie from the range for Messrs. krentz tS Wolff during the snow storm last Monday. They say it was driving cat tie under very unfavorable circum- stances.
 Tucson Star On Friday evening train load of stock was moved out of the local yards. They were billed to David Jack, the millionaire cattleman, Salinas, Cal. The shippers, J. K. Brown, Chas. Proctor, A. Durazo and neighbors. Inspector Scholefield, as- sisted by the veteran, Sam Conley, made the inspection.
 Citizen: Lyman Wyman is in from La Osa ranch in the BayOquivari mountains. He says that he has never seen the range look IS well dur. ing his long residence in Arizona. The grass is up and growing fast and there will be an abundance of feed during the year.
 Gazette: It is reported in Phoenix that an order has been made exclud ing all stock from the Mesa reserva- tion. This reservation is at the head of the Salt river and in the Mogallon mountains. This information comes to a prominent cattleman of this county who vouches for it's correct ness.
 Prescott Courier: In writing to this office, Mir. w. J Cooksey, one of the prominent cattle men of Yavapai county, who ranged near Kymo, in- formed this journal that he contem plates going out of the business in this country, and will remove from the territory. MT. Cooksey spent the better part of his time during the past year in Kansas, looking after cattle he had on feed there; but whether it is his intention to remove to that section we do not know. MT. Cooksey is good man, and we have hopes that the promising outlook ahead will induce him to remain in Arizona indefinitely
 Stockman The idea of abolishing the live stock sanitary board, and the creation of the office of live stock con- missioner seems to set we'll with many cattlemen. The belief is that more and better work could be done, with a slight increase of expense. This is the idea of this journal, but whether the law-making body will see it in the same light is another matter. A trial could do no harm, at any rate, and we believe trial would demonstrate to eVeryDOdy the WlSdOm or sucn course.
 Globe Belt: k. L. Benbrook and Frank Kline came in from Ellison's ranch last Sunday and returned Mon- day afternoon, with pack animals we'll laden with supplies. Mir Kline who is a recent arrival from California, is a relative of MT. Bolton, of the firm of Stewart & Bolton, large cattle owners of Pleasant Valley. He ln- tends locating at Ellison. Mir. Ben brook informed us that the storm had been almost continuous for two weeks in that section, and when they left, snow was nine inches deep in the val ley, aud stockmen were in high spirits

OLDEST CITY IN AMERICA.

A Buried Town in Honduras Near the
Guatanala Line.
You were doubtless taught that St
Augustine, Fla, is the Oldest city in
America, and SO far as settlements by
Europeans are concerned, that Is prob
ably correct. but scientists know of q
city SO old that there Is no telling when
1t was built, and they often speak Of 1t
as the Oldest city in America" This
"city"is Copan, buried in the forests
Of Honduras, near the Guatemala boun-
dary line. It is not city in the mod
ern sense of the word. for 1t Is only
heap of ruins. but there is enough
to snow that at some time centuries
ana centuries ago 1t was a busy center
Of population. Then the Maya In
dams of Yucatan and Central America
were at the height of their civilization.
They built cities by constructing the
bases of great pyramids out of blocks
Of stone of enormous size. These blocks
were taken from quarrtes some times
two miles distant, were conveyed to
the "city" and placed in the wall In
perfect order. and yet 1t Is not known
that the Mayas had any machinery for
handling such heavy material. The
pyramidal base of Copan Is built up
to considerable height, and upon the
nat top are placed the palaces. the al
tars and other smaller pyramids. From
all evidence Copan was in ruins when
Cortez conquered Mexico in 1921. The
Spaniard and his soldiers passed with
in q short distance of 1t and did not
see the town at all. so 1t must have
been deserted even then. And yet the
ruins OF Copan bear evidence of having
lain there. buried amid the luxuriant
foliage of Honduras. for ages, and only
some crude inscriptions on the rocks
can give clew to the history OF the
wonderful place. These inscriptions
and carvings still defy solution. There
are statues and images made Of rock,
but they are meaningless. Copan's
history Is unknown, and 70 scientists
are wont to speak Of 1t as "the Oldest
city In America. Record.
