THE FABLED PHOENIX.
Leysnd Of How the Bird Lived and

Died and Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
phoenix has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to whatever is singular or un.
common among its kind. According to
ancient writer's. the phoenix was bird
Of great beauty about the size OF an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adored it's head. its plumage con-
tained nearly every tint of the rain
bow. and its eyes sparkled like dia-
monds.
Only one OF these birds could live
at time. but its existence covered a
period of 800 or 600 years When its
life drew 20 close the bird built for
Itself funeral pile of wood and aro-
matte spices. with its wings famed the
pile into flame aud therein consumed
itself. From its ashes worm was
produced. out of which another phoe-
nix was formed. having all the vigor Of
youth.
The first care OF the new phoenix
was to solemnize It's parents obsequies.
For that purpose IL made ball or
myrrh. frankincensc and other fra
grant things. At Heliopolis, city In
lower Egypt. there was magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
temple the phoenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn II on the altar or
the sun as sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 500 years or exactly COO years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.

of over forty per cent in its member
ship the past year. 1t is already
evident, from the present enrolment.
that an even larger increase in attend
ance will be realized the coming year.
This increase is due to the excel

too, the organization of the work, which
allows student to progress as rapidly

TAFT TO COME WEST
VIII Visit All Large Cities Of Pa
ClfiC Northwest.
Entire Journey viii Last About Six
Weeks-Three Days in State
of Washington.

Washington, D. C.-Plans for Pres
ident Taft's visit through the West
and the Pacific Coast were virtually
completed Sunday. The journey will
be almost as extensive as that taken
by the president on his famous "swing
around the circle" in 1909, when he
travelled more than $4,000 miles and
visited 33 states.
He will break ground for the Panama
Canal exposition at San Francisco,
make scores of addresses and attempt
to scale Mount Rainier's slope.
According to the present arrange
ments the president will be gone six
weeks. In that time it is expected he
will make nearly 200 speeches from
the rear platform of his private car
and at places not on the regular sched-
ule.
Republican leaders look upon the
trip as the most important, political
ly, that the president has mapped out
since he entered the White House.
He will go through all the states in
the West in which the dominance OF
progressive" Republicans is recog-
nized and which are counted on as op.
posed to his denomination next year.
Until the question of the adjourn
ment of congress was out of the way,
the president was undecided whether
he should be gone three weeks or six.
With adjournment virtually assured
for this week, the president feels that
he can get three weeks rest at Bever-
ly and be in trim to stand the grind OF
40 days in private car.
The president probably will leave
Beverly September II, returning East
about November 1. He will go
West through Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Colorado, Utah and Nevada to the
Coast. Most of the big cities in these
states, including Des Moines, Kansas
City, Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake
City, will be visited, but the plans for
the trip contemplate stops at scores of
smaller places as well.
From California the president will
go north to Portland and Seattle.
Three days are to be spent in Wash
ington state, and the route eastward
will allow him to stop in Idaho, Mon
tana, the Dakotas and Minnesota.
While no "spellbinders" are to be
taken along, it is probable that mem
bers of the cabinet and of congress
will become travelling companions OF
the president at various points en-
route. Topics for the presidents adj
dresses will not be hard to find, the
party leaders say.
