how they happened to be bitten. One man came
to the surgeon last November. three hours after
the hila" sank his teeth in his hand. The doctor
cauterized the wound and the man experienced no
more Inconvenience than he would from the bite of
a gopher. The other man, Ernest Phair by name,
bitten at four in the afternoon, had the wound
! cauterZed and treated with antlseptics two hours
after the bite. At 10 O'Clock that night he was
''out of his mind' his limbs became shockingIy
tu1nefied and at o'clock III the morning Phair
died. This loathsome creature OF giant wrack is
disappearing and in twenty or thirty years it will
be extinct Reference here to \ una reminds me

behavior of the Floating brigade to Sheriff Liv-

see, continued the sheriff, there is practically no
escape from Yuma for a criminal. The only ave-

of Santa Catalina in the mountains of the same

and dismal gorge enclosed by walls 1000 feet above
the trail and no place wider than an ordinary
street Wherever cat could stand cactus grew !
whose thorny plates matted the face OF the escarp

granite porphyry or basat, the great pass was cool
and the silence intense. Here and there piles
of loose stones and bouders deposited when the
rains of the summer solstice swept madly down the
flanks of the Catalinas and sweled this gorge to
rushing torrent. When emerged from the +
gloomy canyon we saw before another desert,

LENTEN THOUGHTS ON THE VIA cRUC1s.

S!th secret JOY, for it is the instrument with
which He is to redeem the world We grumbe at
and rebel against the little Affections we receive i'll
tins world, never thinking as we should of that aw
ful cross the Divine one bore upon His shoulders,
shoulders already raw and bleeding from the cruel
scourges. We proud of and love the
the emblem of our Faith. Then why do we not,
peclally during Lent, try to understand what agony
our Lord endured under its weight and. clasping
the cross in our hands, endeavor, as we look
the Crucltled One, to emulate His great patience
and bear with secret JOY minor crosses! Oh.
Holy Gross, that ddst become sacred by the touch
OF the body of thy Divine victim. may ever have
thee in our thoughts, in hearts and before our

time may hear the blessed welcome, Enter
thou into the Joy of thy Lord"

We renew the weight of His cross. We see Him

His name. In this Lenten season, are asked by
our Holy Mother Church to deny ourselves social

beverage purposes Is dealt with upon
the same terms that we do with
thieves and counterfeiters. then can
we hope TO abolish said iniquity and

The work OF the W. C. T. T., the
Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibi.
tlonosts have done much to create
public attention on this vital question,

safe way 10 deal with the liquor trafiic

the traffic throughout the nation. No
compromise can be made on this vital

Court sustained statute requiring

Permanent Trellis Of Wire.
The scarcity Of bean poles forces me
to resort to other means of giving sup
port to my lima beans, says a gardener
In Farm and Fireside. At one time
thought we could get around the Diff
fculty by planting the newer bush
Hmas. The latter however have never
given me more than a fraction OF the
crop that I can and do get from my
pole" limas, and now I plant the lat
ter exclusively. They are trained to q
post, wire and string trellis.
Posts should be set firmly, and not
too far apart. I use galvanized wire
of fair strength and find it good for a
number OF years. 1t has to stand quite
strain, as the load Of thrifty vines is
very heavy, and I, therefore, give as
much support, by supplementary stakes
(between the posts), as is convenient
The wires are made to rest in a crotch
at the upper end Of the pole or stake.
To make the trellis still stronger,
