NEWS FROM SAMOA
Interesting Letter from Elder
D. c, Mcbride

The following letter, under date
of May 26th, written in Apia, Sa-
moa Islands, was recently received
by THE GUARDIAN. The writer,
D. c. Mcbride, is from Pima, and
left here year ago to go as a mis-
sionary to the South Sea Isles:
EDITOR GUARDIAN: 1t is now
one year since | left the beautiful
Gila valley to take a mission to
these far away isles in the Pacific
ocean.
can assure you that | look for
ward with pleasure to the time
when the great steamer arrives,
bringing copies of your valuable
paper. which | find is indispensable
in the mission field. Its contents
are carefully perused and noted
with pleasure by the five Arizona
elders residing in this isle.
am enjoying myself very much,
laboring among the natives of the
Islands of the sea, and although
they have many strange customs,
yet there is no race of people in the
world that can equal them in hos
pitality.
am laboring in connection with
ether elders on one Of the largest
islands of the Samoan group.
In company with President VIM.
A. Moody, Elder Tangreen and a
few selected boys and girls from
our large school, we have just COM
pleted very successful tour of this
island, visiting the principal towns
and villages, holding many meet
ings and giving concerts to appre-
ciative audiences.
This is one way of showing what
our school is doing along the lines
of education, and another way of
the Gospel before the people.
In making this tour by boat, we
were priviledged to visit the great
volcano, which is one of the Won
ders of the world, and spent one
half day and night upon its crest,
viewing the various colors of the
great boiling lake of fire and listen
ing to the queer and terrible noises
as it belched forth fire and brim-
stone many feet in the air, lighting
up the country for miles around.
After taking a few pictures, and
a long farewell look at the destruc-
ton that had been caused by the
running lava; we bid farewell to
the awe-inspiring sight and wended
our way back through the great
forest Of dead trees, which had been
killed by the fire.
| am pleased to say that the work
in Samoa is slowly but surely
growing, and many are accepting
the truths that are being advocated
by an honest band of humble elders,
who are willing to sacrifice all they
have for the salvation of the souls
of men.
With greetings to all inquiring
friends, | remain,
Very sincerely,
ID. G.. MCBRIDE.

The Combination

The young bachelor paused ir-
resolutely before the window of the
matrimonial establishment. At the
sign No Trouble to Show Goods
he frightened up and went inside.
The manager came forward.
Good morning sir. Something
in our line?'
We'll, | thought"
Would you like to look at some
of our regulars"
Regulars"
Yes. Plain, ordinary wife;
stays home and mends cloths, al.
ways lives within income, never
cares to go out, devoted to children
domestic. Have some fine speci
MEMS"
N-no, thank YOU"
Possibly something trifie gayer
-dashing figure, plays bridge, loves
automobiles and is-er-at the same
time-well, you know--all right in
every respect; capable of great love
and affection"
No, thank you"
How would a nice roly-poly
strike you? We have some excep-
tional values in adipose tissue. You
know they are capable of world
of affection and are always good
natured. Many prefer them in
spite of weight. Not necessarily
more expensive to clothe than the
thinner varieties. Move slower and
cost less"
Il guess not"
Something quite gay and excit,
ing? Lead you a life of continuous
hysteria, distract you with love and
Jealousy, leading to probable di,
vorce? Some prefer this sort, as
they like to be amused"
Not for me-"
Maybe you'd like an intellectual
lady - several lovely specimens
speaking of course allegorically
Cultured to finger tips. High brows
Blue blood. Cold as marble, but
very uplifting"
No, sir"
Possibly a soul-mate might in,
terest you. Have some remarkable
offerings. Best line of blond affini,
ties, all shapes and sizes, ever put
on the market; also some odd bru.
nettes, with depth of love guar.
anteed for one year; or can give
you combination offer-a regular,
steady-going matrimonial side part
ner and a soul-mate thrown in at 6
slight extra cost"
Il think not"
The manager paused somewhat
impatiently. He was beginning to
wonder.
Maybe you can suggest some
thing" he said.
Yes. Can't you let me have
some one who combines all of the
good points that you have mention,
ed?"
you want all of them in one
woman?"
That's it"
II think / could manage it, on
one condition"
What's that"
"That you agree to fall genuinely
in love with her."
What's that got to do with it?''
he asked.
"Only this" replied the manager,
that then it wouldn't make much
difference. If you really loved her
you would think she had all of
those qualities anyway" - New

The Box Social at the school house
on Friday night was great success
both socially and financially. The
high school room was crowded with
little folks and big folks who seemed
thoroughly enjoy the fine program.
The Boys Club Chorus and the encore
deserve special meution. 1t was really
their first appearance in public and
they did exceedingly we'll. Pearl Rel
nemund. also of the Boys Club gave
an exhibition of torch swinging. He
handles the clubs cleverly and will
soon be an expert. The thanks of the
management are due to the Male
Quartette, The Trombone Soloist and
the Mandolin Club for their valuable
assistance in filling an attractive pro-
gram. Mrs. w. w. Smith was the &C.
companist for the evening. A cheer
went up from the small boys when
Colonel Miles Kness, the genial suc-
tioneer, took the floor and proceeded
to the real business of the evening,
the selling of the boxes, big boxes,
little boxes, plain boxes and fancy
boxes, heart-shaped, round and square
which occupied the place of honor in
the front of the room. The table on
which they were placed presented q
glowing mass of colors, rivaling the
rainbow in its various hues. For an
hour Mr.. Kness pulled dollars from
willing and unwilling pockets. When
the last box was sold he confessed he
had done some strenuous work, but
was just as good natured as ever The
total receipts of the evening we're $50.
Sc and expenses amounted toa little
over $500

1t is the custom for pastors of
suburban churches to stand at the
door as the congregation is filing out
ank extend the hand of welcome
with an especial greeting for stran-
gers. A newly arrived Swedish girl
was among the visitors at Duluth
church. The clergyman stretched out
his hand and expressed the hope that
she would be regular attendant.
Finally he said that if she would be
at home some evening during the
week he would call.
Tank y on, but have fella," she
murmured bashfully.
