This IS a beautiful world and the
creation of an Allwise and unselfish
Maker. All nature Is of his design
AMI it is His will that His children

His handiwork. Disobedience brings
darkness as does the going away of
the suns, while obedience is reward

the whole current of life as does the
suns return with the smile Of morn.
With the beauties of creation there
came man created from the wisdom
of God and then as the tear drop OF
His Dty and from the conscience Of
His love woman came. Man and wo-

whole world centers." Or all crea-

Couldn't Sell Her Doll

II Is said that conditions and ones

the sense of appreciation of men, and
this morning this was plainly demon
strated when Constable F. d. Doyle
conducted an auction for some time
in front of the office of Squire VIII

tents OF Mrs. Mollie Smiddey. This
woman lived In suite of rooms in
the vicinity OF Vine avenue, with her
little girl. bright-eyed child with
waving curls OF raven black. and
every one who saw the child was at
tracted by her happy disposition and
beauty. The woman started to leave
the city few days ago for Augusta.

unpaid bills. and an attachment proc
ess was procured before Squire Sell
lers. and Constable Doyle was given
the paper to serve. He attached a
trunk and published the sale for to-
day before the magistrates office. He
began the auction with small bevy
OF court officers. lawyers and casual
passers. and the officer rapidly dis
patched the business. He sold several
articles of wearing apparel OF the
woman. many articles OF furnishings
for the mantel and parlor. and when

This looks hard, boys. but | have
to sell 'em, 60 how much am | bid?''
One Of the constables bid them in,
and the crier proceeded with the sale.
The next article sold was pair Of
shoes that the little girl had worn,
and the officer obdurately sold the
goods without remark.
The next sale was one that stagger-
ed him. He found large and beauti-
full bisque doll, carefully wrapped in
silk cloth. He hesitated a moment,
and said:
"This must be sold, too. so how
much am | bid?"
He held the doll over his head. and
repeated:
"How much am l bid, boys?"
That the officer was affected was
visible. Ike De Marcus was on the
point of making bid. but the officer
precluded him with:
Boys, can't do it, have a little
girl at home, and know how she
loves her dol | viii send this doll to
that little Smiddey girl In Augusta II
1t is the last act of my life"
The officer wiped the tears FROM his
eyes, laid the doll aside and proceeded
with the sale.
But there was little animation
thereafter in his conduct. and 1t SEEM
ed that the ardor OF the crowd in bid

net, 1925
This volume differs from earlier
works dealing with the American des-
erts in that. while some of these treat
OF generalities only and others con-
fine themselves to a single feature or
locality. Mr.. Burdick covers the whole
subject. The deserts offer so many OBJ
stacles to research that they are COM
paratively unknown even to the inhab-
itants of the regions bordering there
on. In THE Mystic Mtd-Region." the
author has endeavored to bring to
the public both a general knowledge
OF the deserts of the southwest and a
particular acquaintance by means OF
pen and camera with many Of the
most unique features and interesting
localities in California and adjacent
desert regions. The author points out
that, instead OF being utterly repellant
as many believe, the deserts offer one
of the most interesting fields imasin-
able for exploration and for nature
study. He who braves its perils and
endures It's hardships finds himself
amply repaid. THE Mystic Mid-Re-
gion" IL faithful chronicle of both its
pleasures and It's terrors. its dangers
and its delights. its mysteries and ifs
