Following this strain in low, firm
monotone, dwelling ever on the
thought of rest and the needlessness
of worry, William f. Davenport, an
assistant in the postoffice at East
Orange, has restored to normal condi-
ton young man in Newark whom
specialists in mental diseases had pro-

months had been in the Essex County

Methodist Church Burned

On Wednesday night about 1O:3O o'clock the Methodist church was discovered to be on fire, and but for the prompt and energetic manner in which the alarm was given, there IS no doubt but that the holy structure would have been entirely de- stroyed.
 The upper portion 1.-the church was practically destroyed from the ceiling up by fire and the low CT part damaged by heat and water. The organ, seats and carpets were saved but in more or less injured condition.
 There was a small insurance on the property but not enough to cover the loss.-Gallup Re- publican.

Some two hundred officers and employees of the Santa Fe shops, including Master Mecha ic George of Albuquerque, and Mas ter Mechanic Daze, of Winslow, witnessed a very interesting de- monstration of welding steel by the Thermit process in the ma- chine shops yesterday afternoon.
 The use of the Thermit process promises to work a revolution Tn locomotive repairing and the process has now been sufficiently tested to prove thatit is practical in every way. The process works tremendous saving ofboth time and labor and a consequent sav- ing in expense. = Albuquerque Journal.

CattIemen Are Wearing
 Smiles

Wattlemen are wearing broad smiles just now," said Ed Will Hams last night when referring to the recent rains and snows in this section of the southwest. 1.-The recent rains as well as the snows have been a wonderful benefit to all the cattle interests in the southwest, and there is every reason to believe that the coming season will be one of the greatest ever seen in this section of the southwest.
 1.-The rains seem to have been quite general, and have not been in spots, as has been too often the case iu this part of the west. This IS what we need, and the cattle are certain of having a fine opportunity if this season of rainy weather keeps up. The past year has been rather severe on account of rain on both sides of the international line, but there is good reason to believe this year will be exceptionally promising.-Bisbee Review.

 (such as the visitation, the assump- tion, her birth, baptism, purifcation). There are lady's slipper, lady's mantle. lady's fingers, lady's smock, lady's tresses. Virgins bower, or clematis. begins to bloom in Juiy, the feast of visitation, and is at full bloom at as sumption in August.
 The lily was first found in connec- tion with the Virgin in the story of her ascension to heaven, and it orig mated probably in the second century. According to this legend, 1t was three days after the burial of our Lords mother that the apostles visited and opened her grave and found it filled with fragrant, spotless lilies. Since ,hen these matchless flowers have been called Madonna lilies," or flowers of the Virgin" The common white lily of our gardens, that blooms in July, and is the sweetest and most graceful of all flowers, might well be called holy" No one seems to know its origin. It is never found wild in Palestine, nor can we find just where it grows without culture. But We see it in the faded pictures of old Italian masters and Netherland painters, made long before the discovery of this New World.
 Nearly all of our great poets have praised this flower Chaucer and Spenser speak of it as a mystical blos- som in their far-away gardens and lady's bowers. Shakespeare it was who first said "To gild refined gold and paint the lily" and these lines from one of his sonnets tell truth that can never be forgotten: For sweetest things turn sourest by their
 deeds;
 Lilies that fester smell far worse than
 weeds.
 Milton loved the lily and always spoke of it in connection with the rose-as did also Swinburne when he talks of
 The lilies and languors of virtue;
 The roses and raptures of vice. And Tennyson says of Maud's garden that it was
 Fairer than aught in the world beside. All made up of the lily and the rose. Dear old Herrick, that sweet singer of spring, has one lily thought that is like sigh
 But vanished man,
 Like to a lily lost, never can bloom anew Or bring his days to see a second spring.
 Shelley has the lily in his wonder full garden along with his sensitive plant. Wordsworth often praises it. Burns mentions it frequently Tenny- son has lovely lily thoughts; but our own Longfellow draws the prettiest picture of maidenhood-
 Bears lily in thy hand
 Gates of brass can not withstand
 One touch of that magic wand James Russell Lowell always comes near to the heart of things and left us more than one sweet lily poem and al fusion, and our minor poets all tell their love for this perfect specimen of natures handiwork

 telling of new growth and broader horizon.
 Out on the old arbor, the rough and scragsy grapevine is sending forth little gray tendrils, reaching farther toward heaven and away from the earth that hides its foothold. How blithely does nature echo forth her yearly message to every waiting heart her message of resurrection, joyous activity, high-mounting aspiration! Her myriad voices cry through every sense. to touch and penetrate the spir- it with gladness and good cheer. New readings from the Gospel of eternal hope are seen on every side, in the growth of plant, the unfolding of leaf the blossoming of flower. The woods are full of these shy spring darlings- violets. dandelions, adder's tongues, spring beauties, bluebells and many a nameless wildling, all hurrying gayly to deck the earth and celebrate the Eastertide.
 Certain flowers and plants have all ways been set apart as sacred things, and from the very dawn of history we hear of fower-decked altars and wreaths of sacrifice. The heather temples were adorned with earth's fairest blossoms, scattered on the all tars. and twined around the brow of priest and acolyte. The amaranth bloomed in deathless beauty upon the Olvmpian heights, the myrtle was be- loved of Apollo, the rose, the lily. the mistletoe were favorites of legend and myth. The flowers once sacred to Freya the spring goddess of northern mythology, were chosen for their spot less purity in form and color. And when heather myth gave place to Christian truth, these sacred treasures were transferred to the Virgin, and be- came symbols of the queen of heaven.
 So it is that in every story of saint or madonna we find either the lily or the rose-the lily with its fragrance, its bending, lowing, waving bells, seems to whisper of purity and wor- ship; the rose, with its faint and far away odor, which seems to hint of eternal hope. One might almost fill a garden with flowers all named for the Virgin Mary, generally because they

Purchase of Timber on
 National Forests Offers
 Business Opportunities.

the Southwest during this spring and summer, the Forest Service has during the past few months been ascertaining on each Nation al Forest just what can be placed on the market during the coming year. All timber within the Ma. tional Forests, which can be cut safely and for which there is ac. tual need, is for sale. All dead timber is on the market; and green timber may be sold except where its removal would make second crop doubtful, reduce the timber supply below the point of safety, or injure streams The limited supply on some Forest prevents salesexcept for local use.
 It has been found that in the Territory of Arizona and New Mexico the total amount of saw timber available for sale each year is, roughly, about 126, ,761,- 900 feet B. M., in addition to a large quantity of cordwood.
 The most extensive bodies Oftim- Der designated for Sale are located on the Coconino, Gila, Jemez, Pc. cos, Carson, Datail, Apache and Sitgreaves National Forests. Up- on the Coconino the number of board feet available each year is, roughly, 2s,O5O,OOO feet B. M.; Datil 5, ,OOO, ,OOO;Gila 32, ,S23,OOO; Jemez l2,OOO,OOO; Apache Ill., S5O,OOO; and Sitgraves 12,75O,- 900.
 This timber will be put on the market in quantities to suit the purchaser, provided the amount desired is not so large as to ere ate a monopoly. All timber must be paid for in advance Ofcutting; the prices in each case will be de- termined on the ground. and the conditions of payment arranged with the purchaser.
 All timber sold on the National Forests is out and logged in ac- cordance with the principles of conservative numbering, and low stumps, close utilization o! mer- chantable timber and the dispos- al of refuse are required.
 The sales are administered on a common sence basis by men of experience in this work in the Southwest. All timber sales in which the amount exceeds $1OO in value to the highest bidder. Sales for amounts less than $1OO.- co in value do not require adver- tisement and can be made with very little formality.
 The Forest officers in charge of the National Forests will be glad to fully inform prospective buyers as to amout and price of the tim Der to be sold, its location, and the general requirements of the

Rome, Jan. Although graphic
stories are coming into Rome of the
horrors in Southern Italy and Sicily,
these are but repetitions of indiyidu-
al tragedies already recorded What
chiefly concerns the government and
the people is the progress that is be-
ing made toward the relief of those
who have suffered by the dread visi-
tation. Considerable advance In this
respect has been made at Messina,
where. according to official reports
received here, the supply service is
beginning to work satisfactorily.
The minister of justice has tele-
graphed from Messina to Premier
Giolitu that large bodies of troops
have arrived and are now occupying
all parts of the town. The appalling
extent OF the disaster renders any,
thing like a systematic search OF the
ruins, but persons are being dragged
out continually and are being trans
ported to the relief ships as soon as
their wounds receive attention.
