"IF A MAN DIE SHALL
 HE LIVE AGAIN?''
Easter Sunday Brings Sweet Rememberances to Multitude of Devout Worshipers---" He

and His teachings might have been in vain if His body had remained in the tomb of the rich man of Arimathea. It is not the Christ of the Beatitudes, nor the Jesus who preached religion of love and goodness, but it is the risen Christ, the conqueror of death, whom Paul and his associates preached, and it was their preaching which brought civilization into fellowship with their Lord and Master.
 All that men fear is centered in death. He who tasted death has stripped the monster of his terrors.
 Thus the church halls and well comes the day which commemor- ates the resurrection. The altars are laden with flowers, the priests put on vestments of brightest hues, the grand organs peal triumphant music, and the choirs sing their gladdest songs. Filled with the fullness of the promise, worship CTS likewise attire themselves in garments of brightest colors, and the day is made one of rejoicing, subdued, because of the holiness of Him who gave such proof of His power over death and the grave.

Life is once more to be breathed into the old Ajo copper mines. For nearly 100 years they have been worked at regular intervals-first, crudely, by the Mexicans, then by an adventurous band of American pioneers: again by Mexicans, and again by Americans for a time
 When first opened they produced much native copper and consider able traffic was kept up between the mines and the gulf coast. All at once the mines were abandoned. The camp was suddenly attacked by an overwhelming force of and men, women and children were murdered by the wholesale. All northern Sonora was in mourning over the Ajo massacre-Arizona Sentinel.

FAMOUS EARP
 DUEL RECALLED
One of the Nerviest Battles Ever Occurring in Tombstone or
 Anywhere Else,

AhyWHcIC LiSC.
 The following account of bloody fight. which occurred in Tombstone in the early days, will no doubt be by many of our read CTS, and probably some of them were in the old camp when the bat tie took place. Here is the way the Tombstone American tells the story:
 In 1880 and 1881 Tombstone was the rendezvous for all the cowboys and the mecca of the bad men" of those years, who focked into the city of almost sacred name, there tn enjoy in their own way the scenes in which they reveled, namely, 'f loading up with active frewater, shooting out the lights and making the ''tenderfeet" dance at their sweet will and pleasure.
 Bob Earp was marshal of the town, a man well-known as des- perate when called upon to face a danger.
 It was on the 26th day of Octo- Der, 1881, that Tombstone was wis ited by band of occasional visit ors who came periodically to have what was known as a hell-roaring time.
 Heavily armed with 45s and Win chesters, they had given evidence that before the shades of evening fell on that day there would be something doing" in town that night.
 Marshal Earp recognized this fact, and calling up his brothers, Morgan and Wyatt, and Dock Hal liday to assist him, determined to disarm the steer-ropers.
 These latter were assembled in and around the O. K. corral, but a short distance from the present of flee of the American, on Fremont street, and thither Marshal Earp, his brothers and Halliday proceed ed, bent on overpowering the in- tended peace disturbers.
 Just as they passed the old Mug get office, formerly the place of publication of the paper of that name, they saw Sheriff Behan in conversation with the Clantons and the McLowrey brothers, and re- questing them to disarm.
 Bob Earp called out, "Boys, throw up your hands and give up your sixshooters."
 No sooner had the command been given than Frank McLowrey at tempted to draw his revolver, and Wyatt Earp, who had his pistol in hand, immediately shot him.
 Dock Halliday had drawn bead on Tom McLowrey. and blazed away with a shotgun, filling Tom with buckshot under the right arm. Billy Clanton then took up the fight from the cowboys side and fired on Marshal Earp, while his brother Ike shot out through the corral to Allen street.
 At this point there was a perfect fusilade of shots exchanging be- tween the desperate men on both sides. some thirty shots being fired, and so swift was the work that the fight lasted but little over minute.
 When the firing ceased and the "smoke of battle had cleared away" it was found that Frank McLowrey had been killed. Tom McLowrey, had still life sufficient to walk around the corner of Third street, where he was found dead from gunshot wounds. Billy Clan ton lay upon the street mortally from the effects of which he died later. Morgan Earp was shot through both shoulders and his brother, Marshal Earp carried 3 painful wound in the leg.
 Strange to say, neither Wyatt Earp or Dock Halliday received a scratch.
 This was one of the nerviest bat ties ever occurring in Tombstone.

LIE ON THE LEFT SIDE.
A Suggestion which May BE Fol-
lowed with benefit in Cases
of Indigestion.

Undoubtedly for sound, healthful
sleep the best position Is to lie on
the right side. 1t is a curious fact,
however, that to roll over on the left
side is quite a relief in case of in
digestion, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
Let US suppose a person has gone
to bed. He is either lying on his
right side or on his back. He feels
certain amount of fullness in the
stomach and perhaps distress. If he
is in the habit of taking a dope he
thinks at once of his dope. Some
stomachic or perhaps a cup of hot
water or may be a hot sling is
thought of.
Instead of doing any of these
things, if he win just simply roll
over on his left side he will be sur
prised how quickly belehing Of wind
will occur and almost complete re-
| lief from the distress.
The explanation is that lying on
the left side crowds the stomach,
