Sammy was ten years old. He lived
with bis parents on farm many miles
from nesghbors or town. Stretching far
TO the northward was a deep and for
midable forest into which Sammy some
times went with his father hunting for
squirrels or after wood. But they rarely
penstxated the woods to any depth, for
Il was wen known by the huntsmen that
bears and wildcats were numerous In
the heart of the forest, and Sammy's
father had no relish for big game: be-
sides, he would not take his little son
into any danger, for, as is well-known,
wildcats are most treacherous animals,
hiding themselves In tree branches and
leaping upon the heads Of the unwary
who chance to be passing their way.
And Sammy had been taught to fear
the depth Of that forest, his parents al
ways warning him of the dangers that
iurked there.
But one day there came to Sammy's
home a man and boy who wished to
go hunting and fishing in the wood. and
they asked that Sammy might accom-
pany them as guide, for unless one I'M
derstood the forest 1t was difficult to
find the stream that was hidden away
within Its deep shelter Of brush and cliff
and rock. 1t was agreed by Sammy's
father that Sammy should act as guide
to the strangers, taking them into the
woods and putting them upon the trail"
that would lead them to the stream
which was full of fine fish And after
accomplishing this errand he was to re-
turn home at once.
The task promised to be a pleasant one
for Sammy, for strangers in his part Of
the world were rare, and he enjoyed the
presence Of this man and boy, entering
into conversation with them as they
walked along. The strange boy told
Sammy Of many exciting adventures he
had had IN company with his father
who loved to explore wild regions and
to study the ways of bird and beast in
their natural haunts
About midday Sammy put the man
and boy on the foot-trail which would
lead them to the creek where they would

Johns Opinion.

Things are just right" said little John.
The Seasons all, l mean.
For when Vacation Days are here
Then all the world Is green
The skies are blue and days are warm.
And swimming pools are clear:
And fun abounds for all boy-kind.
During summertime each year.
But when the School Days roll around
Chill Autumn comes, you know;
And followed is by frost and blast,
And freezing Winters snow.
So everything is right, / claim,
About this big world round:
And nowhere could better place
Than this old Earth be found.

Surely, 1t had not seen nor scented him!
Sammy's heart began to beat again, for
the beast had taken its way In an OPP
posite direction from the spot where he
sat. and for the present he was safe.
But still he did not move till the dark
form had disappeared from sight en-
trely Then drawing a deep breath of
relief Sammy rose very cautiously and
peered about and above him. What was
he to do?-Oh, what was he to do? His
mother-bless her dear loving heart!-
would be distracted about him when he
did not return with the evening. And
his good, kind father-he would be set
ting forth with dog and gun to hunt for
the missing boy! But-would he find his
lost Sammy?
Thus meditating, poor little Sammy's
heart became so heavy that he could not
keep the tears back, and down his brown
cheeks they fell in n perfect deuge.

Then courage came, and leaping to his

Then. to Sammy's happy surprise-for
he had hardly hoped to hear a human
voice in response-there came an answer

CARELESS of the plans Of Mrs. Davis and
the wishes of others, she burst out cry
Ing angrily. In vain Mrs. Davis tried to
pacify the naughty child, her cries rose
higher and higher. There was no such
thing as playing games-or having the
pleasure they had anticipated-by the
fifteen other little guests number OF
them whispered their dlsapproval Of the
naughty Rosie's conduct, and all looked
their condemnation of her.
wen, II you will not play, nor Will
cease your crying" said Mrs. Davis a bit
sternly, Il shall have to put your hat
and jacket on you and take you home to
your mama and grandmama- You see,
my dear child, there are others here who
must be considered, and you are spelling
their pleasure"
But l don't want to go home,' walled
Rosie Il want to stay to the party"
Then you must stop crying at once
and be nice child like the other chill
dren, who are behaving 30 prettily while
you are acting so naughtily. Now, shall
take you right home7-or will you try
to be good and play merrily with your
little comradesY asked Mrs. Davis In a
determined way, for Rosie had worn out
her patience.
Rosie looked into Mrs. Davis eyes and
saw there look that she had never seen
In her own mothers eyes, 30 she knew
she must abide by that lady's decision.
I'll stay and--be-good-
she SMILED. But please, let me stay to
the party"
And strange as It may seem, she re-
mained at the party and behaved very
nicely, too. All she needed was firm
hand and determined voice to make her
know her place. And that days lesson
was never forgotten by Rosie, either,

been had her mama learned the lesson,

But Sammy did not then know how
perverse forest path could be. One
might think one was going straight
ahead, and all the time be turning In
a circle, following what appeared the
straight and only path all the while.
Soon it began growing dark, the day
light going sooner in the heavy woods
than outside ut, just as 1t gets darker In
the house than out of It, Sammy now
felt very anxious indeed To remain in
the forest all night might mean being
eaten by bear or torn into pieces by

did he have, not even his pop-gun!
Sammy sat down to rest few minutes
and to think over the situation. just
then he heard a noise behind him, and
glancing back he beheld sight which
made him forget his courage. His hair
stood on end and his eyes seemed grown
to the object which caused his fear.

NO MORE WOOD CUTTING
 ON THE RESERVATION
A Recent Order Prohibits The Cutting
 Even of Dead Mesquite.

There Will be no more Indian wood merchants seen on the streets of Phoe nix, or if there are any it will be known the wood has not been brought from the reservation. An order went forth from the department that no more wood should be cut on the reservation after November l. Since the regula ton of the cutting of the wood was begun the Indians were allowed to cut down the dead trees and sell all the wood but it was brought to the notice of the authorities that privilege was being abused.
 The Indians got to making the trees dead. at first by gibiing them but later by a more cunning method. They would dig trenches about the roots of d tree and build a fire in it. In d very few minutes the death of the tree was as- sured. the trench was filled up leaving no visible cause of the decay of the tree.
 It is estimated that the Indians have sold to dealers within the last year not less than 10000 cords of wood in addition to what they have hauled to town. The government in stopping the cutting of wood believes mat a time

will come when the Indians will need it much worse than they do now, say in the event of a failure of crops in which case the embargo will be lifted.
 The sale of wood has been source of considerable revenue to the Indians and the money they have received has not always been spent to the best ad vantage. But with this means of sub sistence cut off the Indians can hardly live off of their crops and beside, some of them have not been raising crops. The government however will provide for them by furnishing them work for which 1t pays d man and team $2 for eight hours. Those who desire to do so may leave the reservation for work on the railroads or the large irrigation works where there are aiways open ings.
 This order of the department will have the effect of increasing the price of wood in Phoenix. The reservation has been the chief source of supply for a long time. Henceforth. or as soon as the present supply is exhausted wood will have to be brought in from a long distance to the north.

COLlItR'S SElS FORTH
 A PHOENIX PROBLEM
An Article by Paul Renau lngles, on
 The Indisent Consumptive.

The current Golfers contains an ar ticle by Paul Renaur Ingles, "Arizona's s Exiles," dealing with the subject or indigent consumptives. The article was submitted sometime ago in the Life in Our Town contest conducted by Golfers. It deals with a matter which has excited a great deal of interest in this community and is as follows: The people of Phoenix. Arizona. are grappling with problem of national portance. The problem is this: What is to be done with the indikent con- sumptive coming to our town to pro- tect him from the kindness of his rela- tives and friends sending him here. and to save ourselves the enormous expense of caring for him? Arizona has been blessed with an adequate climate throughout the winter months, a prop CT elevation, and pure air that make 1t most desirable place for the treat
 pent of tuberculosis
 But climate alone does not cure. The patient should have nourishing food. properly selected. tender care and nursing, pleasant surroundings. and everything that would tend to take his mind from himself and his terrible sffliction. If people throughout the United States could only see the con- dition of poor consumptives who reach Phoenix, or be made to realize the hor- TOT of it, they would cease sending their relatives here unless they had sufficient means to care for them. Far better that they should die at home, were it ever so humble, than die here. alone in awful poverty.
 "A consumptive comes here. and his relatives and friends say: Jim has gone to Arizona to rough it. and that life will surely cure him. Fond and foolish ones. it requires money for a consumptive to rough it in Arizona He comes here with little or no money. He finds no employment, for the em- ployment open to him is entirely too rough for him who comes to rough it.

 Tn spite of the noble and heroic work done here. many are dying each year. The physicians death certificate shows the cause of death to be tuber- culosis. But why mince matters? As a matter of fact. many of these people die from starvation. Starvation in a double sense. First. lack of proper and nourishing food. Second, longing for home and friends. that terrible longing so feelingly expressed by the German word. heimweh.

most famous race horse of his day. Dams fastest pacing time with a pacenaker IS 1855 1-4, made at the Minnesota state tair. His best time without |. pace maker is 1858 flat. The horse is owned by NJ. w. Savage. of Savage, Michigan. eighteen miles from Minneapolis, where MT. savage has one of the finest. if not absolutely the best, stables, tracks and training plants in the world. The man who drove Dan Patch to his famous record and who has been in charge of him for years, is H. C. Hersey. who will super intend his performances on the Phoe- nix track.
 Dan Patch will start on Monday af ternoon, Nov. II. at the Third Annual Territorial fair. to beat his world rec ord if possible, and whether he sue ceeds or not, he is certain to make a fine exhibition. Driver Hersey is un- eauivocal in stating that the Phoenix track, at this time Is the fastest race course he has ever travelled over, that the atmospheric conditions are superb. that the weather is incompatible and at this time there is no reason to OODDI Ifldl llt&l tloilddN will not be as nearly perfect as it is possible to ever get. Bad weather seemingly. is the only thing possible to detract from perfect conditions, and the weather has been perfect for several days now with no promise of any change.
 Those who are especially desirous to see tfc famous horse at his best. should be on hand Monday afternoon. Now that all is in readiness the soon CT the big effort is made the better, before there is any change in condi- tions. It is expected that Dan Patch will make at least one subsequent ex- hibition during the week, however his first effort may be, and possibly on Friday. If anything unfor- seen should occur on Monday he will then have another chance, but Mon- day is billed for the big day, a day that may become famous in the entire horse world.
 Though by no means beyond the racing age, Dan Patch is no longer a colt. and II he earns new laurels he must be up and doing pretty soon. During the present racing season he has had but one good day and that was early before he had really got into fast action. MT. Savage dislikes that extra fraction that still hangs to his fast record and would value it's clipping off on the Phoenix track. many times more than he will the money received for the exhibition. It was the fast track. rather than the money, that induced MT. Savage to send the horse here. Money makes the mare go." but what this stallion wants. is more glory. And Dan al- ways makes good He makes no flukes and never loses his head. He is sure to give a satisfactory eXhibi ton so long as he has any kind of a track to work on. and does not break his leg.

This is the publication of a pamphlet de- tailing a very radical scheme of reform for the church written some sixty years ago by Cardinal Sala. Leo XIII. when a young man was the protege of Cardinal Sala, and made copy of the scheme. which after his death in 1903 was passed into the vatican li
