The Strength Of Love.

A most remarkable surgical opera
ton with a touch of the romantic
about it was performed recently at
Rebekah Hospital, of st. Louis Uni
versity. AS the second only of its
kind in the history of medicine the in
terest it aroused in the surgical ranks
was equalled only by the admiration
occasioned by it's success.
About two months ago a patient
was brought to the hospital with his
leg badly mangled. AS the bone was
completely crushed, the doctors de-
SPARED of ever being able to restore
him to the use of the limb again. One
of the attending physicians, however
casually made mention of a somewhat
similar case in which living bone was

Facts About Leap Year.

AS for the name leap year." it
seems to be a misnomer, since on
leap year, February, the changeable
month, does not leap a day. but takes
on one. However, the most plaus-
ible tradition as to the origin Of the
name is to the effect that the law
knew but 365 days to the year and
that when every four years the 18th
of February appeared on the calen-
dar it was not counted as a day in
the eyes OF the law, Eut was "leapt"
over :
The year is now just exactly as it
was after Gregory had corrected it.
Even after this correction, however,
there remains slight mistake, but
it is so very small that it will amount
to only day in 5000 years. The er.
ror is one of excess, sc 1t is proposed
to make the year 1000, otherwise a
leap year, a common year. After
that the calculations are SO minute
that the length of the year will so ex-
actly correspond with the earth's rev.
olution around the sun that it will
not differ more than day in a thou
sand centuries. :

The Catholic Altar.

The ancient Jewish synagogue was
replete with ornament, and hearthen
temples blazed with rarest gems. the
most perfectly wrought metal work,
the most wonderful carvings to be
obtained from all the treasures of
heathendom. What wonder is it then
if we, to whom is vouchsafed the mir
acle of the bread of life upon the
high altar of our churches, should
seek to dignity the resting place of
such blessing? asks an exchange.
The affairs of the Catholic Church
are ever the especial care of devout
and loving hands, decked with snowy
linens of sheerest tissues; exquisite
embroideries array the priests who
serve thereat, while upon the YES

Meelin Mountain.

Gan Irish Fairy Ballad)
On the slopes Of Meelin Mountain tits
as lonesome as can be
Up among the whins and heather,
where our little cottage stands.
And all night hear the wailing
OF the homeless curlews sailing,
And the ever-haunting rythm of the
marching fairy bands. '
They are marching down the Meelin
to the darkling valleys below,
Like an army off to battle-massed in
squadron and platoon
I can see their lances cleaning
And their rustling banners stream
ing,
While ten thousand silvern helmets
shame the lustre of the moon.
They are passing down from Meeting
to the Rath of Glen-na-shee,
Down the lonely mountain roadway
by the Ridge Of Moonamoe;
And their harrers are all playing
Fairy tunes that Sc. you swaying,
Fairy strains that swell the spirit
with the spells of long ago.
Who is brave enough to follow where
the solemn night winds call?
Who will join them down from Nee
lin in the moonbeams falling
white? -
All his earthly woes shall leave him
Human sorrows never grieye him
And the Fairy Harps shall lull him
evermore with strange delight!
They are marching down from Meelin
stepping fast before the dawn
Fainter grown the Fairy Music dying
plaintive stn the blast,
And I ponder by the embers
While my trustful soul remembers
All the magic of lost visions-all the
dreams Of youth long passed

Ortega was notified to get every thing ip readiness and to learn as much about the trails and water holes as possible. The party proposes to take one of the best outfits possible with them on this expedition and will be prepared to remain in the hills for an indifnite period.
 Their last trip was not successful in any way, but they believe that they were misled. and did not follow the better equipment and more informa- is a very old one. This time with better equipment and more informa- tion they hope to be able to reach the old mission and find the treasure house where many millions Of dollars are believed 10 be cached.

ROUND ABOUT THE STATE
CASA CYANIDE FEELS ITS GROWING PAINS
Canal and Dam Result ic Bringing Industries
 in the Town

CASA GRANDE. Aria, April %. The members of the Casa Grande Valley Water Users As sociation 'builded better than they knew when they voted an assessment of s2 pvr acre at the meeting of April Sth. This action settled denitely that the lands Of the valley are to have water upon them but 1t also opened the door to the first of many industries that will come into the valley. The Casa Grande Ice and Cold Storage company had al- ready been incorporated and will soon begin digging a well and laying the foundation for a thoroughly up-to-date ice plant They will also furnish cleo. tric light and electric fans for the town.
 Two different parties have been dis. cussing the feasibility of bank and will join forces in a short time in es- tablishing a high-clasS institution. There is not the slightest doubt that there is fine field for just such an enterprise and the promoters of it are coming at most opportune time.
 The new concern will be a bank and trust company. with department de voted to real estate and insurance. While they have ample capital, they think it would be good idea to make it a mutual proposition, With a large number of shares held by local people.
 Each train that stops at Casa Grande brings it's quota of boxes of bread. This will soon be unnecessary as successful baker who has a large es- tablishment in Long Beach. Califor- nia, is disposing of his interests in that city so as to establish a model bakery here. It goes without saying that it will be a success from the very beginning.
 Next week the Valley Drug company will open it's doors and i'll a much needed want in this community. With the addition of a competent physi- clan, who is now in correspondence, with reference to taking up his resi- dence here within a very short time, there will be a feeling of greater SC curity in case of a sudden sickness, which of course could happen even in as healthful a place as this. In fact the proyerbial healthfulness of climate might make physician hesi- tate about coming but for the fact  that he is taking up land and is sure of a handsome increase in values.
 While these other enterprises are being pushed, an enterprising hotel man of Tucson intends to open a hotel here. A very few months will show great changes in the appearance of the town. Business men in Tue. son and Phoenix have all along pre- dicted a bright future for Casa Grande. as soon as the water prob lem was solved and the most casual observer would admit that in outlin- ing and putting into operation their present plans the directors of the as- sociation have accomplished more than has been done in twenty years.
 Casa Grande is well under way to prove herself the Garden Spot oi
 Iizona."
