RECORDED the TRUTH ALWAYS.
Wordsworth's Poetry Set Against He
Failure a. Correspondent.

Wordsworth, except by virtue of one
quality, was not remarkable as let
ter writer. His happlest moods were
those frances Of thought and mount
lngs Of the mind" which came to him
when wandering among the hills or
seated upon some old, gray stone. The
act of penmanship was always dis
treBs to him; in his elder years he was
troubled with Inflammation of the
eyes, and he often dictated his letters.
He could chain his mind to record
facts. but to do so implied state Of
servitude. He cared little for the let
tiers OF great writer's, and expressed
a wish that his own might de de-,
stroyed. He had no pleasant malice
eager to escape from the tip OF the
pen, such as Horace Walpole had. He,
had no bubbling mirth which will not
be depressed like that OF LAMB. He
could not engrave an exquisite yignette
for friends delight and his own, like
Cowper. His pen was not an etcher's
needle, nor a dagger to stab, nor a
sword to cut. nor hobby horse on
which to canter. But to set over
against all this Wordsworth could
write the truth, and the truth he in.
vaitably wrote.

Ordinarily, such. an occurrence

REMOVE THE CAUSE.
How to Remedy Much of the Suffer
 ing in Phoenix.

There is hardly a family in Phoe- nix where there are not one or more members who suffer at times from the effects of a weak stomach.
 It may be that this occurs only after eating some food that does not agree, or because of a supper late at night; or it may be that the stomach is so weak that scarcely any food can be eaten without pain and distress.
 The only way to treat a condition of this kind successfully is with Mi-o-na. It removes the cause of indigestion, weakness of the muscles of the stOm- aeh and bowels. and restores the whole digestive system to health and strength so that it takes care of all the food that is eaten.
 Get well and strong by using Mi-O- ma tablets. Take the remedy at the first symptom of indigestion. when you can be cured easily with a few doses. However. no case of stomach trouble is too severe or chronic for Mi-o-na to overcome.
 Larson Drug company sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. A 50-cent box lasts for a couple of weeks, and will do more real good than a dozen boxes of the ordinary digestive tablets.

Funeral e C. w. Norton and Synopsis of Rev. campbeIl's EuIogy of an Up right L:se.

The funeral service of c. w. Norton, who died Tuesday nigo. Jan. 14, at o'clock, of ascending paralysis, after an illness dating so recently as Satur- day night, Jan. Il, was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at the resid- ence of his son Dr. J. C. Norton, 344 North Second avenue. The dead man though a citizen of Wilton Junction, Iowa, had spent much time in Phoenix having visited here during seven of the past twelve winters. He returned last, with his wife, two or three weeks ago. and was in his usual good health until the end of last week. By reason of his frequent visits and the interest he took in the welfare of Arizona and her peo- pie, particularly the prosperity of this city and valley, he had become well known to many Phoenix people who were proud to do him honor. even though it was tribute of sadness, in the final acknowledgements the living may tender to their kind.
 The funeral was, therefore largely attended. and the service was in inn pressive one. It was conducted by Rev. Campbell of the Presbyterian church, who spoke eloquently and with effect. and no words could be more eloquent than the minister's untinted reference to the personal character istics of good man, whose life story was a continued purpose to make the world better and to lessen the burdens others were called upon to bear. The music consisted of three hymns. Nearer My God To Thee" "I Know My Heavenly Father Knows and Abide With Me" which were sweetly sung by Mrs. Depew, Miss Parker, Mir. Rice and Mir. Heinrich, with Mrs. Hu- lett accompanying. Interment will be made at a later date, in the family plat in Wilton Junction, Iowa, and for the present the bereaYed wife will re- main here with the family Of her son. The relatives are keenly appreciative of the kindnesses extended by many friends in their hour of sorrow and many telegrams of condOlence were received yesterday from distant friends Following are some of the remarks made at the funeral by Rev. Campbell
 Charles William Norton was born in Medina County. Ohio. September 9th, 1886, and died at the home of his son, Dr. J. C. Norton, in Phoenix, Arizona, January 14th, 1908. He was married July 18th, 1859 to Miss Mary A Col Tier. In 1863 he came west and settled at Wilton Junction, Iowa, where he engaged in agriculture and stock rais- ing. in which occupations he was un- usually successful.
 The passing from us or such mar as MT. Norton should lead us to care fully review his life Many may be greatly helped by becoming acquaint- ed with his characteristics and esti- mating his real worth In very true sense the world is better for his hay ing lived in it. To him life was real and earnest and rich in joy and satis- faction. In all his business transac-
Arizona republican., 1908-01-17

 tions he was thoughtful, judicious and wise. In his methods of work he was exceedingly methodical even to details. In character he was suprerleiy unself- ish: nothing pleased him more than to assist others. He was ever ready to do for those who were worthy. His insight into human nature, and his large experience with men led him to believe that he could most success fully help others, by selping them to help themselves: and for this reason his efforts were directed along such lines as would aid deserving persons to obtain such educational training as would bring into use all their gifts, and lead them to become ambitious and self dependent. Hence he gave li- berally towards the educating of in dividuals, and toward the establish ment of educational institutions.
 His home life was ideal. He was the loved and loving husband, father and kind counselor. No work was too hard. the doing of which. would bring happiness and success to the members of his own family. No sacrifice too great by the endurance of which, he could help those whom he loved. The devoted wife alone can estimate the loss sustained by his death. And the children and the children's children will ever rise up to call him blessed. In them he is to live over again his life in all the coming years.
 But this brief reference to the life of our departed brother would be es-
 
 words as to his Christian character. He gave his heart to God when but a lad of seventeen; and ever since he has lived T most consistent Christian life. His active Christian service was rendered largely in connection with his home church; but he was always and every where a Christian man. In the old home community, or as he travelled by the way; as he lived among us here in Phoenix. as his feet trod the paths made sacred by the footprints of his Master, wonder in the Holy Lan6, (for it was his privilege to make an extended visit to Palestine) he always gave his influence and his life to the advancement of the kingdom of Christ. To know him was to know that his was a life hid with Christ in God" Surely then this was a complete life: he lived more than three score years and ten. Successful in a most remark able degree in all his secular under takings; able to help so many who were in need, and to cheer so many hearts; permitted to travel largely, and to see and know the world; in the providence of God allowed to enjoy the company of his wife, his children and brothers within a fortnight of his death: coming to the end of his life surrounded by many of his dear ones; passing a very brief period of sickness, almost no suffering of body, with every provision for the future happiness of those loved ones he left behind; re- ioicing in the assurance that all his children had confessed Christ and were active in his service; with no re- gret for a wasted life; fully prepared to depart. and with a firm faith in the atoning sacrifice of Him. to Whom he had rendered faithful service for more than half a century, he could speak a last goodbye without a murmur to sorrowing ones here, only to greet the loved ones gone before, and rejoicingly

TWO SUSPECTS HELD
 Al HE COUNTY JAIL
Particular Attention Attracted to Them by a Load of "Phoney" Goods.

A man bv the name of Connolly, and | Edward Daniels were yesterday found with the goods on. Connolly was sleeping drunk in the court house plaza under the very nose of the sheriffs office He Uas locked uo and it was found that he had in his possession several ne." raZors and a half dozen pairs of spectacles. The- were evil dently "phoney' and would hardly have attracted the interest of the of ficials except for what was developed later
 That was the appearance of man by the name Of Edward Daniel. who had been held to the last grand jury for rolling a man in a saloon. AL though there was little doubt of his guilt the necessary evidence was lack ing. and he was discharged. Daniel called at the jail to see his friend Con nelly The jailor felt no compunction about searching Daniel and he was amazed to find several razors and spectacles precisely like those found on Connolly. He was asked where they got all this wealth. and Daniels replied that he and Connolly found it in 9 pile of ties near Wickenburg Connolly was then interviewed and he told 9 different story. He said the goods had been given to them by Tim J. Sullivan hobo miner. whom they had met at Wickenburg and who had since gone out into the Parker coun- try.
 This variance of testimony led the officials to suspect that the goods had been stolen. They kept the men apart and instituted an inquiry at Wicken- burg last night. Deputy Wood there, will make an effort to find out if any of the goods have been stolen. and he will also look uo the late presence there of the mysterious Tim J. Sulli- van.
