IS LIFE WORTH LIVING ?

Is life worth living? How can you
Look up into yon skies of blue
In heavens sunshine smile and bask,
And such a question dare to ask!
At blossom time, how can You hear
Blithe messengers with notes. high, clear.
From branch and bough proclaim His
might.
Without a thrill of glad delight?
How can you know the gentle press
On cheek and brow Of winds caress,
And not within your bosom feel
An earnestness, new born zeal?
Is life worth living? How can you
Gaze lovingly in eyes go true,
And not within their depths behold
The light that blends each hour with
gold?
How can you, the ones who wear
the crown of motherhood, bright, fair,
Be-query thus, when 'gainst your breast
Two little warm, red lips are pressed?

A Plan that Promises to Work socio-
logical Benefits.
While / stopped at Billings, Mont,
George II. Maxwell, the executive
chairman of the National Irrigation
Association, addressed a meeting Of
the people at which he unfolded a
plan for putting people on land, which.
If 1t can be worked out, will become
one of the most important sociological
movements of the tines He said that
II the people Of Billings would take it
up and cooperate, he would undertake
to secure subscriptions sufficient to e.
tablish at the outskirts Of the town an
acre farm colony, where 16O acres
could be secured, with a good irriga-
ton supply, and divided up into one
acre tracts and provided with compe-
tent farm instructors, so that men in
the Eastern centers who had saved q
little money and wanted to get little
country home could come out and stay
on one Of those acres for a year or two
and be taught how to farm and to ir-
rigate. Then they would feel conf
dence in looking about the buying
five or ten acre farm and making their
home upon it.
The working out Of such plan, Mr..
Maxwell said, would furnish a supply
Of ideal colonists for any new country.
and 1t would at the same time tend to
relieve the congested centers In the
East. That It was not chimera of
his brain, he stated that one of the
Southern transcontinental railroads
had already started the system in Arr
IONA. in the irrigated Salt River Val
ley, and was now dividing up a 100
acre tract into acre farm gardens and
had engaged one Of the best farmers
In Arizona as an instructor.-North-

Some Trouble Gathering
About Jap
Actors.


The "The Odious Cique,' the the
atrical production which was given
its initial presentation at the Japan
csc theater on Saturday night, ano
which was stopped by the police owing
to some people in the audience becom-
ing boisterous, may not again be shown
before the footlights. The hackers
have had a change of heart, for they
realize now that a direct insult was
offered not only to the japanese Con-
sul-General, but to his wife as well.
In fact, the insult to the Consul's wife
was generally deprecated.
1t has also been conveyed to the
hackers of the play that the Consul
has just cause to bring a suit against
them for criminal libel. The hackers
realize that they have gone just lit
tie too far in the matter, and will drop
the play end of the systematic move
ment now being directed to unseat the
Consul. Not alone that, but gentle
hint was dropped by the police that
at least one portion of the play, no.
tably scene aboard the steamship
Coptic, is indecent.
