was in excellent condition. and the floor management was most active in its duties of making everyone ac- quainted and assisting in the work Of filling up the programs. There were sixteen numbers besides several extras and the dancing continued until after the midnight hour.
 For the first few hours after the grand march. the floor was filled with couples and it was not till the later hours that the floor was cleared much. then it was. of course. that those who wanted plenty of room in which to glide were thoroughly at home. To the more sedate dancers at no time was the floor over crowded though the turnout was most f1attering and many came late from otAer counter attractions to enjoy the remaining numbers in the open pavilion.
 The Grand March was lead by An thOny Tcbben and Mrs. W. L. Carver in most finished and proper style. \ large bouquet of roses was pre- scented to Mrs. Carver by the ball committee as token of appreciation. The numbers were named appropriate ly to the purpose for which the ball was given. and unionism. and included the following thoughts: In Union there is Strength Boost UniOnism, "A Tent Sanitorium.

 liberal patronage, their kind efforts to further its success. and the very eX- celent and gentle manner in which the dancers enjoyed themselves. It proved a good financial. as well as d social. success, and it is almost as sured that the plans undertaken for the campaign in favor of the south west sanitorium for invalid members of the union. will be carried out. on the floor committee last night were \. r.

PRINTERS BENEFIT BALL
 A FLATlERING SUCCESS
An Ideal Evening and Place Made Merry by Large Crowd-Outlook Bright for Carrying Out Plans.

one of the social events of the sea son of more than ordinary import, both because of it's philanthropic pur- pose and it's very successful conduct, was the Printers Benefit Ball given last evening at Eastlake park by Typographical Union No 3j2. The dance was most literally patronized by Phoenicians and the crowd was composed of the members of the best social circles of the city. who were bent on enjoying the first open air ball of the spring. owing to the pleasant and gentle warmth of the nighttime the place selected for this event was emnently satisfactory, the light breeze ladencd with the pervad- ing essences of luXurant bloom of the valley land, playing across the whirl and maze of moving figures. The rythmic harmony of melody to which this merry crowd moved was rendered by an orchestra directed by C. $. Oakes. The music, which is an essential part of a ball was very pleasing and the program included any number of fine selections for dancing
 The pavilion of the summer ll'dlSI Was dppiopiiitSiS u'SVi e''cu' From almost every corner of the room was swung banners of red. white and blue, and the folds were caught in a number of common central points through the middle of the room and further adorned with rose bouquets.

Beyond this was the scenic background of a vividly colored mountain scene. The floor

ANNUAL ENCAMPMEN!
 OF IHt GRAND ARMY
Veterans Met Yesterday, Elected New
 Officers and Enjoyed Banquet Given by the Woman's Reliei Corps.

The department Of Arizona, Grand Army of the Republic. yesterday held its annual encampment in this city. the sessions being in Lamson's Hall. \ bout twenty-five delegates were present from the various posts in the territory. the order not being as strong in the later days as it once was. as it is an organization having little eligible material for recruiting and the march of time k gradually thinning it's ranks However the fewer the num- bers. the greater the moral strength and dignity that attends the institu tion which is hallowed by the memo ries of sthose events which brought if into being.
 It Is pleasing to note that though its membership is not increasing. it is growing in enthusiasm. Those who have heretofore been careless in their post attention are more than ever concerned in keeping up the interest in the meetings. As the new com mander in his remarks yesterday stated he proposed to make the next ennual encampment, which has been set for Phoenix. an event that will mean something both to the order and to this city. There is a renewed in terest in post matters in Prescott and unused with the idea that they are not dead yet and don't propose to be for many years.

IL was maintained by Mayor TaylOr's attorney that the league is neither an artificial nor a natural person and consequently is not a proper party to begin an action to remove an election commissioner all ready appointed by the mayor He claimed that if there was any cause for action in the matter it should be brought by the people of the state.

MAGIC IN A SMILE.
Never 0eprseiats the Worth Of Such
Power.

Never osprseiats the Worth Of Such q
Power.
A smile Is q most magical thing, and
yet perhaps many Of us do not quite
appreciate 1t at its true value, for Of
ten the wonders that are worked by
smiles occur deep down in the hearts
and souls Of those persons upon whom
the magic falls. Have you ever watch
ed the people In car when some tiny
baby looks around and smiles ut ev.
erybody in the most impartial friendly
manner? How few human beings.
whatever the weight upon their spirits.
whatever the problems in their minds,
can resist the marvellous appeal of a
little baby's smile? And it is a good
thing for this old world that in spite
Of the whips and scorns Of time"
there still lives within the souls Of
thus responsive to the heaven born
smile of tiny, trustful child. Some
times when we have been weary and
sad and our spirits have felt despond-
ent and even dismayed the chance
smile of some little baby has fallen
like soothing balm upon our detected
minds and we have perhaps found new
courage and even a little hope for the
future.
Oh, 1t is a good thing to smile upon
the world whenever we can, for we
shall then be able not only to get out
Of life the very best it can give US, but
we shall perchance be helping our
friends and even unknown passersby
(for who can tellD to a better, surer
knowledge that the sun is still shining
in the world and that clouds must
break and the horizon appear clear
and serene once more. Sometimes
when we grow bit dissatisfied with
life, little discontinued with our ap-
parently trivial part in the great affairs
Of the world, we are very prone to feel
that we are Of small value since we
cannot see what we are put here on
earth to do. OF course very few Of us
can accomplish great deeds that will
bring applause from our fellows. Not
many Of us can even climb above the
vast crowd that walks only on COM
monplace levels. But never a one of
us is so helpless, so insignificant, 80
poor, that he cannot give to the world
the wondrous gift Of smiling cheerful
ness. Nor must we for a moment dep
recate the worth Of such a power.
Rather should we believe, as Is surely
right, that the buoyant person who
smiles upon humanity and helps to
uplift and inspire even by his simple,
unpretentious, honest. cheerfulness is
Of inestimable value to his fellow
creatures. Smiles are we'll worth while,
and often the memory Of trustful.
brave and sincere smile has been cher
ished and treasured in the sad and
hungry hearts Of some men and wo-
men who have for brief instant bask-
ed in the warmth Of the heaven sent
sunshine Of such smile.
