a rural community, will journey to Phoenix where they will be driven into the Elks' corral and there lassoed and be made to eat out of the hand of their master. Whether the Mesa mavericks will take to the branding iron with an ease and abandon. which has been their wont in the little obstacles that con front them frequently, or whether they will rear and plunge and perhaps dis grace themselves by their unsophisti- cated conduct remains to be seen.
 Mesa has not arrived at that stage in her growth when it can be said that she is ready for an Elks' lodge, and those citizens within the precinct who have the desire to ally themselves with the antlered herd must perforce go to the watering place where they may meet their kith and kind.
 Over two score of Mesa's leading citizens will take the initiatory work next Thursday evening. in the Phoe- nix Lodge. No. 335. B. P. O. E.
 The following letter has been mailed to a score or more of the candidates at this place which is self explanatory:
 Phoenix, Ariz. Dear Sir
 It gives me great pleasure to inform you that you were duly elected to membership in this lodge, subject to initiation.

FREAK IN SEQUOlA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six teen Years Severed From
 Its Base.

Out 'r California there is tree trunk which has stood for the last 16 years entirely severed from it's base, says the Wide World Magazine. The stump is Is feet in diameter, and the trunk towers 5 feet in the air This remarkable freak is located near the Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun- ty, California, and was sawn off by lumbermen for timber. Through some mi3calculation, when the cut was fin ished the tree still held its position, and dynamite was resorted to to bring it to the ground, which accounts for the deep gash on one side. After the first charge of the explosive had been ignited the tree still remained stand ing, and it was discovered that the entire trunk had been shattered by the discharge and was therefore use less for lumber. Accordingly, the work was stopped and the giant has remained upright, withstanding some of the severest wind storms that the state has known, held in it's natural position by its great weight.

The majority of property owners are under the impression that spring time is the only painting time. But the fall of the year offers several ad- vantages to the painter One of the most important is that surfaces are almost sure to be dry, and there is no frost or inner moisture to work out after the paint is applied

COVERED WITH HIVES.
ing, Irritating Humor for Months Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight.
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

My six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by play ing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and tried several reme. dies but without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, thought would try them. gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment re- lieyed the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George L. Fridhoff, Warren, Mich, June 30 and July 13, 1908"

him to install the alarm apparatus. The bell was so arranged that 1t would ring in the stable and frighten away any intruders.
 The policeman had always been aroused by the first "ting-a-ling" of his clock and immediately shut off the alarm. He, however, allowed the bell to sound longer than usual Saturday night. May heard the bell and, be lieving it was the burglar alarm, sent in a call for police.
 Stokes was very, very tired and, not thinking for a moment there was a chance of discovery, decided to take another half hour nap. and set his alarm accordingly.
 He was just dreaming of a cap tain's stripes when two squads of brother officers charged into the stable. There were surprises on both sides and, as Stokes was endeavoring to explain, the alarm went off He was taken to the station house and the charges preferred.
 Stokes says the clock is a "hoodoo" and contemplates destroying it. unless it is contiscated by his superiors Even the department officers, who are usually austere in matters of disci- pline, laughed when Stokes related the circumstances of his capture.

The Root of Altruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic energy are these: First, the principle of justice; that there is moral law before which all men are equal, 50 that I ought to help my neighbor to his rights. Second, the principle of charity that l owe infinite tenderness to any shape or kind of man, however unworthy or useless to the state. Third the principle of free will; that l can really decide to help my neigh Dor, and am truly disgraced if l do not do so. To this may be added the idea of definite judgment; that is, that the action will at some time ter. ribly matter to the helper and the helped G. K. Chesterton
