Wall of Water Sweeps Through
the Town.

Flagstaff, Arizona. Aug. 22.-For the

high and 800 feet wide across the valley.
The torrent swept everything before it.
With a terrific roar it rushed across
grain fields. destroying all crops in its
path. Fences disappeared, trees were
broken down and roads washed out.
The flood struck Flagstaff shortly after

SNAP SHOTS ATHOMENEWS.

Sorrow comes and sorrow goes,
Life is ffecked with shine and shower,
Now the tear of grieving flows,
Now we smile in happy hour;
Death awaits us, every one
Toiler, dreamer, teacher, writer
Let US then, ere life be done,
Make the world little brighter,
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let as try to make them:
Chains, perhaps. our neighbors wear,
Let us do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain aad mind
Let US loose the binding fetter,
Let us. as the Lord designed,
Make the world a little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul.
Makes the heart a nest of sorrows,
Darkening the shining goal
OF the Sun-illumined morrows;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind and binder?
Let us. as the Master meant,
Make the world a little kinderi

save my life, and against my private
convictions ] was put on it. In six
months my recovery was complete.
a friend Of mine, DR. A. J. Howe. a
prominent physician. was nearly dead
with Bright's Disease. On my recovery
1 told him and it acted the same in his
case and he is now well on the road to
recovery. I told one of the writers on
the Call. whose mother had Diabetes.
She has fully recovered. AS a brother
editor I personally assure YOU of the
truth of the discovery. Thousands of
lives are to be saved and / am writing
some of them right.
