 The excursion will be a great event, not only for the Phoenicians. but for the people of the sections visited. The multitude of invading hosts will be given a hearty welcome and presented the keys of all that is in sight. It is understood that a band will accompa- ny the crowd to make the day lively with plenty of good music.

SCHOOL LAND LESSFES HOLD A MASS MEETING
They Take reliminary Action or Senate Bill No. 521.

X meeting of the lessees of school lands in this county was, held at Melc- gers hall yesterday afternoon for the purpose of taking action in relation to q bill now pending in the senate for the disposition of school lands in this territory. The bill provides for the sale of the lands, but does not provide as the present law does, that the occu- pant of the land shall be given a pref erential right on account of his inn provements. This is regarded by the lessees as a serious matter. for in many cases the improvements exceed the value Of the land and were under taken on the theory that the occupant could without doubt come into perma- nent possession of the property on the sale of the land.
 There was a large attendance at the meeting. It is said that every occu- pant of school land on the south side was present. An organization was ef- fected by the election of J. B. Mullen of Tempe chairman, and Walter s. Wilson of Phoenix. secretary. After some discussion of the subject for which the meeting had been called. a
 
 counsel. collect information and re- port at a meeting to be called bys the chairman.
 The following telegram to Hon. Mark Smith. delegate in congress from Arizona was dictated and sent after the adjournment of the meeting:
 At mass meeting held this day in Phoenix, there being present all Oc- cupants of school lands in Maricopa county, Arizona, the following resolu- ton was unanimously adopted.
 Whereas, section II of Senate Bill No. 521, introduced by Senator Flint of California, we do most respectful ly and sincerely urge you to use all . honorable efforts in delaying said bill tO such time as will enable the lessees tO present their objections"

5 Song of the Sand Storm

l am the pitiless Sand Storm.
 The whelp of a tameless breed My dam the desert. my sire the air; l stealthily come from my shadowy lair And away, and away I speed! l lie in the sun on the mesa
 Outstretching my yellow length; l drowse and purr in a tigerish way, Then suddenly leap on my terrified prey With more than tigers strength. l scar the cliffs in my fury,
 Erasing their ancient runes; I polish the skeleton-bOnes that lie UnnOted. unburied-and scurrying by, Heap higher the gray sand dunes. The arrogant sentinel mountains
 Make challenge,-yet little I reck; And vainly the obdurate cactus sets In my pathway million of bayonets,-- IL never my course can check. The pace of the caravan quickens
 Al the thought of my wild caprice: And the thunder rouses and beats his
 drums
 To tell the world that the Sand Storm And the songs and the laughter
 cease,

HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS

IF you really want to increase your own hap
piness, quit thinking about the faults Of
your neighbors.
You've got to have faith to succeed: faith in
yourself preferably; but it must be genuine
faith of some brand or other.
A woman helps man to success first by
aiding him with her strength, and then IN her
weakness by forcing him to use his strength
to aid her.

My Debut in New York
By Blanche Bates

THE most exciting episode can recall was
having my hair pulled by Augustin
DAILY. That yank meant no less to me
than New York success, and New York
success just then was a turning point in my
career. was literally pulled into prominence
by the hair.
1t happened ON the first night of my first
engagement with Daily, at.his theater in New
York. l had been playing in the West, with
Broadway looming up always as the distinct
goal, and had finally decided that the only
way to get into New York was to butt in
for nobody seemed to send for me with
private car and an engraved invitation.
So l came and camped at Days door.
This Uttered up the steps and got to be
rather nuisance; SO finally he got rid of me
by giving me, on days notice, chance to
play Blanca in The Tanning of the Shrew."
and had no chance to rehearse my part with
the rest of the company.
When went on in the opening act and faced
for the first time Broadway audience,-the
audience it was my dream to FACET was dizzy
with fright, and my voice deserted me. All l
had to say little speech of four lines.
But even this was too much for me. l con-
trived to open my mouth and speak; but only
those on the stage heard a word of what l
said. heard Baptista say, Go in, Bianca!'
and l went weeping down to my dressing
room.
AS / sat there disconsolate a message came
from Mr.. Daily that he wished to see me at
once.
My spirits rose. He's going to tell me
that played the part well, even if nobody
could hear me-" thought, and hurried to his
quarters.
He looked at me for minute; then he said,
What do you wear your front hair that way
for? 1t ought to be down." and, suiting the
action to the word, he grabbed my hair with
both hands and yanked it none too gently into
something like the appearance he wanted it to
have.
Then, You ought to wear a wig, anyhow"
he said. You may go now"

of my tears had changed from disappointment
to wrath, and as dried them / told the young

IMMUNITY and never a word said about her

was no trouble about hearing my voice.
