There is an interesting story attach

occasion when the author went to the
north of Africa he visited a Trappist
monastery in Algeria. Hichens lived
for three weeks with the monks.
From the monastery he went into
the desert with an Arab poet for a
guide. One evening as they stood
gazing across the wonderful waste of
sand toward the sunset a chance

Hichens thought Of the monastery
and its devotees to prayers. and with
the thought came the fancy to bring
one of its silent tenants out into the
desert and in this garden Of oblivion,
let him forget his vows. his hopes and
be willing to lose his soul for the love
of a woman.

~ ICTURE to yourself an editor
seated in his sanctum on the
fourth floor of his Office. For
the moment be is not writing
an article advising that the long suf-
fering people turn out and make a bon
fire Of every cold storage house in the
country.
On the contrary. he is looking out of
his window with a sad expression on
his face and moisture in his eyes as
they look down upon his private edito-
rial graveyard-the only one of its
kind in the world. Twenty-three men
lie sleeping there-a sleep that shall
last until the trumpet awakens all.
Twenty-three headstones give the
names to the world. Over the green
graves the trailing arbutus trails.
Those mounds are as carefully tended
as if they covered the remains of chill
dren.
The editor brushes the tears from his
eyes. signs a long sigh and proceeds
to read the names on the stones.
There is Tarantula Sam to begin with
and Grizzly Joe to end the line. Sand
wiched in between are Rocky Pete.

ers. Each one had lived and had his
day. Each one had whooped and
bluffed and fallen. Some had left old
mothers to weep as they asked them
selves. "Where is my boy tonight?'
while others never knew a mothers
love.
Each and every one of the twenty
three had arrived at Giveadam Gulch
in bounding spirits; also with two guns
buckled around him and his SOM
brero on the back of his head. Each
had arrived with a whoop. Each
had taken a drink and made the state
ment that he was from the headwaters
of Fighting creek and had shown from
ten to fifteen notches cut into the butt
of his favorite shooter. They sighed
for the reputation of being bad. and
they got it.
In some cases they fell within a day;
in others they lasted a week. 1t was
according to how soon they met the
editor of the Kicker and started in to
do him up. That seemed to be their
mission. The editor had never harm
ed them by word or deed. and yet they
sighed to make him eat dirt. They
didn't want him to live out his days.
They didn't want him on earth. They
were willing to spare others, but not
an editor. So they sought him out.
Some gave him two minutes in which
to prepare for the change: some open
ed fire at once, having no care whether
he went to the n place or the other.
And the editor. desiring to live on
and make the Arizona Kicker the
greatest weekly in the land and to be

The number finally reached five, then
ten. then fifteen. The editor prayed
that the bad men would keep away,
but they continued to arrive. They felt
that there was something really funny
about it. The fifteen became eighteen,
twenty; then a rest. and then three in
succession. With the twenty-third the
editor believed that the last bad man
in the country had gone to his reward.
and he drew a long breath Of relief and
hung his trusty guns on the wall and
felt the b~lessedness oof peace.

To the many friends who have as
sisted us in ane way in taking care OF
the large delegation in attending the
Baptist State Convention whether in
opening your homes to guests, furn.
ishing rooms or meals, or taking care
of delegates at hotels and boarding
houses, or the furnishing Of automo-

veyance of delegates from the trains
to their homes ard all those who
have in any way helped us and show
ed kindness to us and extended our
profound thanks. The convention was
a great success in everyway. 1t may
be that in caring for the more than
three hundred delegates present
some mistakes were made and some
delegates neglected; if so it was
certainly unintentional We thank
God for giving us such successful
meeting and believe it will be a bless
to the entire community.

Mr.. H T. Powell of Macon, Ca, who
is interested in the water works of
this city, is a visitor and is delighted
with Ocala and its surroundings. He
says that he never before saw town
of similar size boast of so many beau
tiful and comfortable homes. He is
also pleased with the surrounding
country, and predicts a magnificent
future for our section. The water
works contract with the city will ter
inmate in about two years, at the end
of which time the company is TO sell
to the city or surrender it's contract
within five years after that time, and
we presume that the purpose of Mr..
PowelPs visit is to see if a sale on
some sort of fair and equitable basis
cannot be affected. 1t is a matter that
deserves serious consideration.
