THE IMPOSSIBLE.
II Lies just Beyond the Limit Of Our
Own Understanding.

Here is a striking parable by Miss
p. Fox Howard, which.we take from
the Friends Fellowship Papers:'
"A dog tried to open a door.
He threw himself, against IT,
struggled to get his nose under it
and burrow his way out, but at last
he decided that the door would not
open and never could open, so he lay
down before 1t and went to sleep.
"A child was watching the dog, and
he laughed and turned the handle
with his small fingers. and the door
was open. Then he took a book, and,
sitting on the floor, he turned over
the leaves one by one and gazed at
the queer black marks upon them
without knowing whas they meant,
for he was a very little child and he
could not read As there were no
pictures to be found he tossed II
away.
But boy picked up the book and
laughed and read page after page of
wonderful fairy tale. Then he
went to school and puzzled his head
over a sum which had to be brought
to the class that morning. Try as
he might the sum would not prove,
and the boy said; I can't do t. I'm
sure It can't be done. There must be
a mistake In the book
But the pupils teacher laughed,
and, taking the blotted exercise
book from the boy, he quickly work
ed out and proved the sum. Then he
turned TO his own studies and went
into the laboratory. for he was learn

COMING OF VERNONS
 HOT YET ASSURED
Guarantee Must First Be Raised. Outlook for Elks' League Favorable.

Charles K. Pi<hon has returned af- ter trip through the southern part of the territory. He announces that the campaign for funds to guarantee the necessary bonus to the Vernon team of the Coast league will begin immedi- ately. The matter stands much as it did before the departure of Mir Pishon. The NcrnOns are willing to come if they are guaranteed reasonable amount to help them defray their eN- penses. Their presence for month in the spring is now dependent on the way in which the proposition is re- ceived by the fans of Phoenix
 Several days ago a letter was re- ceived from Happy" Hogan. manager of the Vernons, stating that all of the directors of the club were in favor of Phoenix as the spring training ground and that the one thing that stood in the way of the final announcement of it's selection was the fact of the in creased expense which practice in this city would entail. If the local packers of the game will put up a guarantee which will meet the difference in ex- penses between Phoenix and some coast point the team will come to this city. The expense would probably be made up from the gate receipts, as the coast squad carries a sufficient number of men 10 make more than two full teams and daily game would be possibility. The White SoX would he brought to this city for six games, as was announced several weeks ago. if the Vernons selected this place as their practice ground. The matter will, be finally decided within the next two weeks.
 During his southern trip Mir Pishon conferred with the Elks in the towns he visited relative to the forming of an Elks' league. The idea was favorably received in Tucson and an Elks' team will be organized in that city It is
