The Beautiful. Woman.

One woman went out on the way of shame
And the wide world marveled and read hel
name
And praised her beauty and gaped and
cheered
When, light and futtering, she appeared.
But one little woman in holden gray
Went out to the suffering night and day.
And never for her was the trump of fame.
a nd never cheer as she went or came.
One woman went out on the path of lies
And the whole wide world praised her lus-
triOuS eyes
And paused and listened when she would
speak
And marked the roses that graced her check
But one little woman in dingy black
Went down where the weary were on the
rack
And carried the woes Of sad and lone
And cOmforted many and was unknown.
One woman set foot on the road ef wrong,
They blaZoned her deeds in joyous song
That told OF her daring. her charm and wit
And the word went humming and singing it
But one little woman in hOmely gown
Went seeking for sorrow about the town.
And smiles came to gladden. where she found
tears,
But never for her were the thrilling cheers
but somewhere the record is fairly kept,
Unless at his task has the angel slept,
And doubtless there, when the warden reads
The beautiful tale of the golden deeds,
In shining letters will stand each name
Of these little women who had no fame,
But who went patiently day by day
To do their work in the Masters way.
And further than all OF the Outmost suns
VIII ring the names of the Beautiful ones.

Nevertheless, in my judgment the
whole question Of marriage and di-
vorce should be regulated by the au-
thority OF the national congress. At
present the wide difference In the laws
OF the different states on this subject
result in scandals and abuses; and
surely there is nothing so vitality es-
Sential to the welfare OF the nation,
nothing around which the nation
should bend itself to throw every
safeguard, as the home life of the av-
erage citizen. The change would be
good from every standpoint. In par
ticular 1t would be good because it
would confer on congress the power at
once to deal radically and efficiently
with polygamy; and this should be
done whether or not marriage and di
vorce are dealt with. 1t is neither
safe nor proper to leave the question
OF pOlygamy to be dealt with by sever
al states. Power to deal with it
should be conferred on the national
government.
when home ties are lOosened;
when men and women cease to re.
gard worthy family life, with all its
duties fully performed, and all it's re-
sponsibilities lived up to, as the life
best worth living; then evil days for
the commonwealth are at hand.
There are regions in our land, and
classes Of our population, where the
birth rate has sunk below the death
rate. Surely it should need no demon
StratiOn to show that willful Sterility
is, from the standpoint of the nation,
from the standpoint of the human
race, the one sin for which the penal
ty is national death, race death; sin
for which there is no atonement; a
sin which is the more dreadful exactly
in proportion as the men and women
guilty thereof are in other respects,
in character, and bodily and mental
powers those whom for the sake of
the state it would be well to see the
fathers and mothers Of many healthy
children, we'll brought ur in homes
made happy by their presence. No
man, no woman, can shrink the pri
mary duties Of life, whether for love
OF ease and pleasure, or for any other
cause, and retain his or her self
respect.

Lorenzo Dow, relates The St. Pau
Pioneer Press, on one occasion tool
the liberty, while preaching, to de-
nounce a rich man in the community
recently deceased. The result was ar
arrest, a trial for SANDER and an i'm.
prisonment in the county Jail.
After Dow got out of limbo he an.
nounced that he would preach, at a
given time, sermon about ''anothel
rich man." The populace was greatly
excited, and crowded house greeted
his appearance.
With great solemnity he opened the
Bible and read, And there was rich
man who died and went to" -.
Then. stopping short. and seeming to

Brethren, I shall not mention the
place this rich man went to, for fear
he has some relatives in this congrega-
tion who will sue me for defamation

made the impression permanent by

SAYS A SOUTH MISSISSIPPI PAPER

The Chronicle has no sympathy
with the war that is being attempted
to be made on Hon. Earl Brewer, one
OF the candidates for governor. The
head and front of Mr.. Brewers offense
seems to be that being a man OF solid
convictions and standing for certain
things in his campaign, he has seen fit
to speak plainly. to inject into the
campaign for governor what ought to
be IN every campaign, some issues
that are alive with interest, the dis
cussion of which will be of benefit to
the masses of the people,
Such a man speaking plainly and
courageously must be expected to be
miSrepresented; and that misrepre-
sentatiOn Of Mr.. Brewer has already
begun.
1t is to be deplored that a portion
or the press of the State is lending
itself to this unworthy purpose, and is
decrying Mr.. Brewer because of his
courage and plain speaking. However,
Mr.. Brewer may rest assured that the
people-the vOters-will give him
fair hearing, and the consideration bis
utterances deserve without regard to
the politicians and newspapers

THE NEW YEAR.

Again has Father Time brought u
TO the threshold of another year. W.
stand as it were upon the mountair
top that divides the past from th,
dim and hazy future. We look back
ward into the valley where we have
had our struggles, our defeats and oul
victories, our joys and our sorrows,
where we have made our mistakes that
the hand Of Providence only can ef-
facial these tie US to the paths al
ready trodden and cause us to step
with relunctant feet into the ship
that must plough the waves that only
an all seeing eye knows what they
contain. In spite of all our misgiv-
ings as to the future, we gladly en-
brace it and flee, as it were, from the
trials of the past. 1t is indeed for
tunate thing that there is a place to
stop and begin anew. 1t is a happy
thing that there is place where we
can lay aside our cid garments and
put on the new. 1t teaches a divine
lesson. 1t brings to each individual
personal application of a religious
truth that the past is gone. The fu-
ture is what concerns the world to-
day. The new year has tendency to
revive the energies, quicken the as
piratiOnS, intensity ambition and re-
new hope. And were every individ-
ual throughout the civilized world to
live the better promptings that come
into his soul during the new year Pc
rI0d, the world would be much hap
pier and light and joy would be seen
in many household where poverty,
distress and turbulence too often reign
supreme.
The year 1905 has been kind and
generous one to most of us. 1t is true
that we may have not gotten our de-
serts, but that is only all the better
for us. If we are wise, our errors of
1906 and the years of our lives
past, will be but sign boards to direct
us for the future. Animals proceed
by instinct, man by reason. Hence it
is necessary that we take an inven.
tory of the past in order that we may
determine our weakneSSeS-for we
all have them-and our needs so that
we may wisely and properly draft on
the future. Nature has the best that
we are able to appropriate in store
for us. 1t depends upon us whether |
we are the recipients of the boons pro-
vided. We bid adieu.to 1906 sorrow
fully. We welcome 1907 joyfully and |
may it be the greatest and best in |
our individual lives and the most hap.
py and prosperous to our beloved
country is the wish 'of The Sentinel. |

FRIENDSHIP.

In this time of Christmastide when
all the world is aglow with the joys
and love tokens Of the season, it might
not be amiss 10 take a sort Of invent
|Ory of our earthly possessions and
draw something like an estimate OF
the kind of life that is worth the liv-
ing.
One would think from watching the
scramble going on in the world to get
rich that wealth was the most valuable
asset, and that to get money at all
hazards was the chief aim of mankind.
But this is not true. There are many
things in this world Of infinitely more
value than Sordid dollars.
Among these may be mentioned the
mutual affection existing between
man and man based upon our natural
affinity for each other. This is what
we sometimes call friendship, and life
without it would be burden and a
curse. Who would care to live a day
in this world il they felt they were
without friends. David must have
experienced this feeling Of utter
wretchednesS when he said, mo man
cared for my SOUL"
II the writer felt that he had no
friends on the earth his constant
prayer would be to be removed from a
sphere OF activity that was incapable
Of beStOwing commensurate rewards
upon his labOrS. II friends are so
valuable should we not address our
selves to the task of not only keeping
all those we have but of making many
more.
Make new friends. but keep the old,
Those are silver, these are gold;
Newmade friendships like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test
Time and change-are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For mid old friends. tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew
But old friends. alas! may die,
New friends must their places supply,
Cherish friendship in your breast,
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends but keep the old,
Those are silver, these are gold"
Friendship, tits the closest tie, the
most endearing relation that ever
bound human hearts together, a tie
that will live beyond the grave, a re-
lation that will be waited on the
waves of that ocean that beat forever
and find no shore. i
The life of our Savior who went
about doing good" from Bethlehem s |
nanger to Calvary's cross was one
ong lesson of friendship. He was in
Iced "a friend that sticketh closer
,han brother"
We close these reflections with the
words OF man when he felt that he
vas friendleSs:
/ loved-but those 1 loved are gone;
Had friends-my early friends are fed,
low cherries feels the heart alone
When all its former hopes are dead.

ALL HAIL.

All hail 10 the New Year! What
gifts will he bring? Far richer than
any preceding year in the vast wealth
OF invention and discovery and achieve
ment bequeathed by the glorious
years that have passed, what promise
is offered that the world will be wiser
and better for his coming? What
has been done in the year just draw
ing to close is the promise and
prophecy Of better things to come in
the one at whose portals we stand.
We know not what the new year may
bring forth, but we know that Of
what was gained for mankind in the
one is just finishing it's course,
nothing will be lost that is fit to sur
vive. 1t will keep on adding to the
domain of human knowledge to the
domain Of man over bhe forces nature.
Truly, there is no pause in the per-
siStence of force or in the operation of
the great law of development. All
the achievements Of the past are but
the elementary beginning of the great
work on which the science and inven-
tiOn have entered-the stepping stones
to higher things. Aud they are preg-
nant with the promise and the pOten-
cy of richer and nobler fruitage in the
year whose opening gates we ale about
to enter. Luminous has been the past,
it's light has penetrated only the fringe
OF the dark mass oi barbariSm, of ig-
norance, of poverty, which still dark
ems large part of the world and the
under strata Of society even in civil
lied states.
StupendOuS as seems TIE progress
the world is made, even i'm our day, it |
has brought us only to the foothills of |
the vast ascent. whose far off SUBMITS
rising with the centuries will be |
with glory of that new day |
when wars shall cease and poverty and
crime shall be no mure, and the par
lament of man shall proclaim the
reign of righteousness and peace
the federation of the
world.
"A Visions baseless fabric." do you
say?
Well, dreams lead thousands to a bet

Never deceive your children. If
there is something they should not
know, tell them SO but do not tell
them falSehOod, for sooner or later
they will find you out. Children icok
upon ther parents as models on which
to form themselves, and when child
learns that its mother has deceived it,
something is lost forever from it's ma
ture. The keen edge of virtue is
trifle dull, a lie is never again so ter
rible thing in his eye when he finds
that his mothers lips have uttered
an untruth to him.

There is nothing SO healthful in
this world as cheerful heart and
a disposition to look on the rosy side
Of everything. Trouble is not phys
ical ailment, but a mental condition.
1t is hard on the brain, hard on the
body and hard on your friends. A
clear conscience, a brave heart, and
healthy liver means long and
happ life. 1t is the mistake of the
age to worry and fret over things that
cannot be realized. Laugh at trouble
and it vaniSheS.

VOLUME INCREASING
 IN ARIZONA CANAL
Plan of Distribution of Present and
 Future Water Runs.

The executive committee of the Ari- zona Canal Water Users association held a conference yesterday yesterday morning with Superintendent McDer- mott for an exchange of reports from various points along the line of the canal and for further development of the present plan of distribution. From the reports received the committee sat isfied itself that all the water holes under the canal will be filled and the irrigation of the land may begin not later than Saturday.
 It was decided to begin the irriga- tion of the land simultaneously in each of the four zanjero districts into which the canal lands are divided. The dis tribution will be as follows: Tn the first division seventy-five inches of water will be turned in for the people of the town of Scottsdale and 400 inches for the orange and other lands in that division. In the second diVis- ion 400 inches will be turned in for the lands generally and all the rest in the canal will be divided equitably be- tween the third and fourth divisions. In this way it is believed that all the Arizona lands will receive an irriga- tion by the latter part of next week.
 
 and second divisions it is believed will have received a good wetting, though not thorough soaking. of course. but sufficient to permit a still larger run to the west end where the laterals are longer and the lands further from the canal.
 Immediately after this first gen. eral irrigation a second irrigation in similar manner will follow which will soak the lands up thoroughly. giving them all the water that can be eco nomically used. The hope is warrant ed that there will be a constantly in creasing volume of water in the canal and that by June l tne Arizona lands will all have been thoroughly and lib- orally irrigated. Later there will prob ably be a similar division of the water. only the runs will be longer.
 Speaking last night of the successful operation of what the executive com mittee has named it's square deaP' plan, MT. Fowler said enough cOmpli- ments could not be given the Salt River valley farmers for their patience. endurance and especially for their honesty and fair treatment of each other, as particularly exemplified un- der the Arizona canal and during con- ditions that have recently prevailed. In all this run of water for the filling of the adobe holes and now covering a good many days, not one instance of even attempted water stealing mas been discovered, nor is there any ap- parent ill will or complaint either against each other or against the men in charge of the distribution. They appreciate fully that the hardest kind of an effort is being made to treat everybody fairly and that it is result ing satisfactorily. Knowing that each will get his honest share of the water by awaiting his turn, he cheerfully
