FUNNY SAYING ANENT
PRODUCTION OF "THE DEVIL


Now that those two Devils" are
exhibiting themselves at the Lyric and
Garden theatres, weak jokes and
plays on words regarding His Satan
ic Majesty are all the rage, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
I'm going to the devil tonight, " one
remarks, listening hopefully for the
ensuing cachinnation-or else go
and-So has gone to the DeviF'-etc.
through delightfully."- bewildering va
riations.
And then, of course, there is this
gem: When someone tells you
heatedly to "go to the devil!" you
suavely inquire: Which Devil,
please 2"
All this recalls something that
happened in Boston few years ago
which though somewhat similar tc
these Devil" jokes, was distinctly
funny. There was a dog show al
the time. Whoever ran the press
agent end of the thing conceived &
brilliant idea Instead of having or.
binary signs hung on the street cars
going to the show, he caused to bt

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with local applications, as they cam
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mu-

in this country for years and is a
regular prescription. 1t is composed
of the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting

S. II. Rogers and P. H. Moore have leased the Phoenix Iron Works of George E. Williscroft at 451 South Seventh avenue. south of the railroad tracks, and have formed the Phoenix Foundry company. It is the purpose of the company to do a general foun- dry business and make a speciality of all kinds of iron and brass castings.
 Both men have been with the Ari- zona Iron Works for sometime where MT. Rogers was in charge of the moulding department. Previous to coming to Phoenix he was engaged in the same line of business for ten years in Kansas City. They are experienced men and have perfect confidence in their ability to conduct a successful business of that kind.
 Mir Williscroft is one of the oldest residents of Phoenix and has been in the foundry business for many years. The plant is already well equipped and he predicts for the new company an ever increasing prosperity.

The Path the
 Calf Made
By Sam Walter Foss.

One day through the primeval wood- A calf walked home. as good calves
 should
 But made a trail all bent askew, A crooked trail as all calves do. Since then two hundred years have
 fled.
 And. I infer the calf is dead But still he left behind his trail, And thereby hangs my moral tale. |, The trail was taken up next day By a lone dog that passed that way: And then a wise bell-wether sheep Pursued the trail OCT vale and steep. And drew the flock behind him, too As good bell-wethers always do. And from that day OCT hill and glade Thro' those old woods a path was
 made; And many men wound in and out, And lodged and turned and bent
 about And uttered words of righteous wrath Because twas such a crooked path. But still they followed-do not laugh The first migrations of that calf. <Ailu lilfO lilo HlhNiho "NNN"oJ
 stalked Because he wobbled when he walked. This forest path became lane, That bent, and turned, and turned
 again;
 This crooked lane became a road, Where many a poor horse with his
 load
 Toiled on beneath the burning sun, And travelled some three miles in one And thus, a century and a half They trod in the footsteps of that
 calf.
 The years passed on in swiftness
 fleet;
 The road became a village street; And this before they were aware, A city's crowded thoroughfare; And soon the central street was this Of a renowned metropolis. And men two centuries and a half Trod in the footsteps of that calf. Each day a hundred thousand rout Followed the zig-zag calf about; And OCT his crooked journey went The traffic of a continent. A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries
 dead. They followed still his crooked way And lost one hundred years a day: For such a reverence is lent To well-established precedent. A moral lesson this might teach, Were I ordained and called to preach; For men are prone to go it blind Along the calf paths of the mind. And work away from sun to sun To do what other men have done. They follow in the beaten track; And in, and out. and forth. and back. And still their devious course pur-
 sue, To keep the paths that others do But how the wise old wool gods
 laugh Who saw the first primeval calf. An, many things this tale might teach But I am not ordained to preach.

 Al tASTLAKE PARK
Lodge Will Attend Raymond Com pany's Performance and Formally Thank Them For Large Flag Pre- sented.

Next Thursday night will be Elks night at Eastlake park, when the Ray mond company will present a special performance of note, new and brilliant specialties, to a crowded house. It is not to be understood that no one but Elks are invited. for a general invita- tion is extended to the public. But the Elks have taken this matter in charge in recognition of the courtesy and favor of the Raymond company. when a few weeks ago they presented the Ellts lodgesof Phoenix with large flag, the only one in Arizona contain ing the one extra star for Arizona. This flag will be used at the first oppor- tunity in the celebration of statehood. At the time of the presentation of the flag quite d number of the Elks were out O. the city.
 On next Thursday night the major part of the local membership will at tend the play. Already the committee selected by the lodge has received as- suranCci that lead them to believe that bv the middle of the week there will be standing room only. as the advance s Ile of tickets has been quite brisk. The committee consists of George P. Driscoll, C. J. McElroy and J. T. Whit ney, from whom tickets may be se- cured.
 Both Hr. Whitaker and the manager, J. Lewis Scott. are Elks and the lodge is out to show them a merited appre- citation. George Purdy Bullard will make a si ort address, speaking the sentiments of the longhorns in his most eloquent style. The name of the drama will be announced later.
