Spike the Guns of the County Seat
 Rem0vaIists

The good people of Cochise county understood what they were doing when they sent Ben Goodrich to the Council.
 When the people of this county sent Ben Goodrich 10 the Council they registered an expression against county seat removal, for they well knew how he stood on that point. So we have right te assume that a majority of the voters of Cochise county are opposed to county seat remov- al at the present time.

A CHRISTIAN.
By Rev. Geor

By Rev. George w. Brown.
Then Agrippa said unto
Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be
Christian."-Acts XVI, 8.
A Christian is a Man with Life.
A life which accords with his creed
and experience. Our religion must be
lived. And the one truth you live is
worth more than the twenty truths you
merely profess to believe.
Religion having it's throne in the
heart sways its scepter over the entire
man. 1t reaches out to his hand and
masters it, brings 1t into subsection so
it tolls for God and man. 1t domi-
mates the intellect so that the very
chambers of the imagination are pure,
and the mans soul is a shrine. 1t lays
its controlling hand on the tongue and
holds it to the musical speech of love.
If the creed is the root, the experience
is the flower and the life is the fruit
! and fragrance of an experience is not
enough; we must bear fruit unto holt
ness that the end may be everlasting
life
Men will look at Christians and
judge of the gospel by our representa-
tons of it in our lives. 1t is a close
text, but a fair one. We ought to live
up to it. The world has a right to
expect-yes, demand this. The gospel
supplies the power to enable us to do
it, and all who are in the church fold
but do not live the lives of Christians,
should repent of their evil ways or run
from the church like lepers.
The time was when the question
which led the Christian world was
what do you think?" That day is
past There came q time when the
emphatic question was, "How do you
feeII' but the emphasis has now gone
farther. The test question of the hour
is, How do you actT' Right action
is the crvstalized result of intense
thinking and intense feeling. Ny breth-
rem. let us honestly believe the truth,
fully experience its power to save the
soul: and then so live that without a
label on our foreheads, the world shall
recognize Us as Christians.

RIVAL OF TURKEY.
Wen Broiled Steak Beats the Great Bird
Meat

While turkey is the name most fire.
quently heard In connection with mid
winter holiday entertaining, the average
American has a secret liking for steak
that cannot be overcome or lived down, "
said man of wealth, who was dining
in Castle Cave. in Seventh avenue, with
circle of New Years day guests. ''The
strange thing is that you cannot give a
native of New York what he does not
want. but when he finds what he does
want he will jump a fence or climb a
tree to get it, fguratively speaking.
Nothing stands in his way.
Now the Frenchman may tell you
that taste for steak is bit savage.
If it is | am glad to be a savage once
in while, and am not surprised to find
this place crowded with persons on this
holiday who prefer steak to turkey. The
trouble is not with the turkey, but with
the method of cooking and serving in the
average public kitchen. This steak,
broiled over hickory embers, is exactly
to my liking"
In Castle Cave oysters are grilled in
she'll over the hickory embers and served
with a sauce of onions, garlic and par
sley. Some persons go there night after
night for the same delicacy.-New York

Struggled into the country by way of

the fact
The cloth was dropped on the east
coast somewhere near Baker, lugged
across the mountains to a secluded in
let on the lake and boldly brought into
Manila. Sleuths of the government got
track Of it before it was landed. but
there was no way TO stop it.
There is smuggling, too. in the north
country, but its greatest home is in the
Sulu archipelago, with Boneo as its
base. There in that back alleyway Of
the sea it has gone on for ages without
let or hindrance. Hundreds of swift
going vintas are engaged in the Illicit
trade and heretofore they have carried
