 You can forgive old Pepys a good deal of his philandering when you re- member that he was the only official of the navy office who stuck to his post during the worst days of the plague. He may haze been-indeed, he assuredly was-a coward but the coward who has sense of duty enough to overcome his cowardice is the most truly brave of mankind
 But one amazing thing which will never be explained about Pepys is what on earth induced him to go to the incredible labor of writing down in shorthand cipher not only all the trivialities of his life but even his own very gross delinquencies which any other man would have been only too willing to forget-Conan Doyle in Through the Magic door"

PEPYS OF THE "DIARY.D

The wonderful thing about Mir Pepys is that man should succeed in making himself seem so insignifi- cant when really he must have been a man of considerable character and attainments Who would guess it who reads all these trivial comments. these catalogs of what he eats for dinner. those inane domestic confi- dences-all the more interesting for their inanity?

The Crittenton home management has q number of things to be thankful for. One was the contribution of S50 from a friend. and another was that one of the contributors in remitting his dues for the present year added an extra s25. While these and other sub stantial donations have helped, it is still found that the home is quite lit tie behind with its bills and a few hundred dollars is needed to square last years account.

| It is sometimes good to look at one self through another'S eyes. So. here 'S a brief peep at the Salt River Oil Company through the optics of an out ISider-a conservative business man of Phoenix:
 'YOm second announcement was at first glance disappointment to me,
 said the gentleman. ''Thc first one had me intensely interested. The second. at first, seemed to me to be only another SCHEME tO sell stock
 But mv sober SECOND thought con- firmed all that you said. WITH THE COMING OF OIL l saw a city where

 pels our admiration because of its
 proportionate beautifying of the town,
 would be speedily replaced with

 for with abundant oil, they became.
 d IdlllIdl faOI HAL l, - saw MANY THINGS that Phoenix
 prOfeSSes to want, become ACTUALI- TIES; we were on the MAIN LINE of great railway system at last; the
 CAR SHOPS followed as a matter of course.
 ''l saw a mighty metropolis, in which the activities of the capital of the new state were blended with the agricul- tTal and manufacturing enterprises which had followed the discovery of OIL.

 ''I think you have UNDERSTATED the IMPORTANCE of the OIL" said he.
 Also. you have the CART before the HORSE. Oil. in my opinion. is NOT second in economic importance tO the. Roosevelt Dam.
 "Undcrstand me- please" he went on. I'm not minimizing the great good that the dam has conferred. Look at the land values. Under the private system of canals from the river, land which was worth $25 to $50 per acre. is today worth $50 to $200 per acre. That's a FOUR or FIVE-FOLD in CREASE IN VALUE. And the dam has been here, say, six months. What will happen in SIX DAYS from the time you bring in your FIRST big CUSTER?
 Why, the first thing that will hap pen is this:
 Land values for MILES around will SKYROCKET from $50 OF &20O per acre, their present worth for agricul- tmal purposes, to $1.000 per acre, S2,OOO per acre. 5000 per acre, or TlOOOO per acre-accOrding to their WEAKNESS to the we'll
