Establishment of an Ad- ventist Mission on That Fierce Battle Field A Maricopa County Boy Will Labor There

Spion Kop, the mountain just out side of the city of Ladysmith, Natal, South Africa, where the most deadly was fought in 1900, has been purchased by the Seventh Day Adventists. and mission farm where the Zulus will be educated and ChristianiZed. will be es- tablished on it, according to informa- tion just received by Elder M A. Hol- lister. of the local Seventh Day Adven- tist church. from the general confer ence. the governing body of the denom- ination, which was purchased by MT. F. B. Armtage. who, before going to South Africa as missionary. was an evangelist in this country.
 Spion Kop comprises 2.200 acres. and, will be established there with a num- Der of natives who have accepted the teachings of Christianity. forming a nucleus from whom teachers will be chosen. Spion kop is about IS miles from Ladysmith, which became famous through the BOer war, and it was on this peak on January 24. 1900. that the deadliest battle of the conflict between | the British and Boers was fought In describing the mountain the mis- l sionary says: "On the southwestern l side there are beautiful. but precipit- 1 Ous slopes, while at the back of the mountain there is a wide plateau which l slopes gradually toward the town. On l this plateau the Boers were strongly i entrenched. The British general gave 1 command to seize the hill from the 1 precipitous side. with the result that
 his forces" were moved down like the 1 wheat of the field. However, the hill | was finally captured by the British 1 and today the boundaries of the farm | are marked by monuments, that have | been erected in memory of the British l soldiers who were willing to spill theil l blood for the glory of their king. Wha l an example of fidelity to the childrer l of God, the soldiers of the King O l Kings"
 MT. Armitage says the mountain Wa! purchased only after he had traverset the country, seeking for suitabl' farm for the establishment of the ms
 sion. The writer stated that severa
 Zulus have already accepted the teach
 ings of Christianity, and these vii
 work with the missionaries toward in structing other natives in the way O
 salvation.

Those Rheumatic TWingeS

Much of the rheumatic pain that comes in damp, changing weather is the work of uric acid crystals.
 Needles couldn't cut, tear, or hurt any worse when the affected muscle joint is used.
 If such attacks are marked with headache, backache, dizziness and dis turbances of the urine, it's time to help the weakened kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills quickly help sick kidneys. Recommended by Phoenix people.

DAVIS THEATER.
Big Novelty Act for Last Half of the
 Week.

The show billed for this cosy theatre the last half of this week promises to be as good if not better than the one the first half and that is going some. Headed by Rudolphy Daree and company in a great European scenic novelty act, An Excursion in Japan. This act carries all its own scenery. which includes a complete equipped Japanese tea house. Nothing like this has ever been seen in the city and the management promise a real treat in this act which combines singing of the highest standard with comedy and weight lifting that is superhuman. An other class Al act is Frye and Allen who do a comedy singing sketch en- titled A Simple Lesson. Those two clever entertainers are artists of the old school and always make a big hit wherever they appear LeXeya and MeIlen are two classy fellows who do a neat singing specially with lots of eccentric dancing and are in the top ranks Of entertainers in \ their line. Last but not least is Daniel Kelly who sings songs and introduces whistling that would make even the birds en- >vious. The feature photo-play this half is a western drama in two reels called The Miser, showing the regen- eration of a man through the unsel- fish love of a little girl. The famous Mutual Weekly is also. on this bill, a photo play newspaper. and one real funny Keystone comedy, Toplitsky and company, one thousand feet of laugh ter, other dramatic s1bpects complete the bill which no one can afford to miss.

Academy Musical Club.

At their concert tomorrow evening the Academy Musical club will be as- sisted by two Academy organizations which have already won favor from those who have been fortunate in hearing them. The Girls Giee club will render two numbers during the evening in their usual finished style and will add greatly to the pleasure of the audience and particularly to those who enjoy the close blending of female voices in chorus effect
 That the Academy quartet in a. se- lection of songs new for the occasion will prove a welcome number goes without saying. Those who have heard this quartet during the winter and who recall the excellent work done at the last Glee club concert in early May, win be pleased that they are to be heard once more and their number is certain to prove an addition to the program.
 But perhaps the feature of the eve ming will be the first appearance of the Girls Gymnastic dancing class in a dance entitled La Rose. There are ten pretty girls in the class and their graceful steps to a tuneful waltz will afford a novel and pleasing moment for all who attend the concert, and one which is certain to be prolonged by encores.
 Be sure to be present for you will enjoy it.

POETRY
THE HONEST MAN.

All honor to the diplomat:
 He has his work to do; But more of worth to all the earth
 Is. he who's fair and true. And, spite of all that bards may sing
 Of those who plot and plan, The country's hope for power and scope Is in the honest man.. Due credit for the versed in tact,
 The juggler with the pen, The one whose skill can cheat his will
 And sway his fellow men. For finesse in affairs of state,
 For power to lead the van Yet trickery wanes, while ever reigng
 Supreme-the honest man. A fading crown. a day of pride,
 The ciever claim full well; But for the true. when all is through,
 A wreath of immortelle. In home and state, in church and mart,
 o.nce> ever time began, The greatest need, the hope indeed,
 Is in the honest man.

WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS TO-
 CIPHER.

" e have been friends together,
 In sunshine and in shade. Since first beneath the chestnut trees In infancy we played: But eoldness dwells within thy heart, A cloud is on thy brow We have been friends together;
 shall light word part us now? We have been gay together,
 We have laughed at little jests; For the fount of hope was gushing
 Warm and joyous in our breasts, But laughter now hath fled thy lip, And su1len glooms thy brow; We have been gay together.
 Shall light word part us now7 We have been sad together We have wect with bitter tea-E Ger the grass-g grown graves where
 Slum bered
 The hopes of early years The voices which were silent there
 Would bid thee clear thy brow; We have been sad together O. what shall part us now?

 Another Big Musical Comedy Go. and
 Feature Films at Auditorium Today.
 The Telephone Girls have come and gone, and left a trail of laughs be- new company which is the biggest one that has been here yet.
 The best part of these new musical comedy shows at the Auditorium is each succeeding one is better than the others. and that is just the reason that the management has booked them in this order, so that each show will be an. improvement over the others.
 The company for today is the big geSt one of the four that have been shown and has been on the road for three successful seasons. It is known as the Chas. Buckley Comedy Co and they present the side splitting musical farce entitled A Day in Court. This act is a ludicrous travesty on a mod ern court room. and is put together for laughing purposes only. The company Is headed by the well known Irish comedian. Charles Buckley, who is as- sisted by a cast of eleven people, which includes three other comedians pany is more on comedy lines than any of the other three that have been here in the last two weeks, but there are lots of good songs and dances fnterpolated. MT. Buckley as the sub- stftute judge is one of the funniest characters imaginable.
 The photo-plays today are excellent and are even better than the first of the week The feature film this time is a Rex. entitled The Dragons Breath, a dramatic two-reel feature dealing with the opium curse, of Chinatown, San Francisco. Three comedy films will be shown two of the Gem brand with Billy Quirk and one Powers film with the two kids" Matty and Early
 The Talking Pictures will be shown as an added attraction for tomorrow (Friday) only. The management ad- vises all that possibly can, to attend the matinee performance. and avoid the inevitable rush at night.

submits to every torture she i'm
poses.
And bides his time!
What hour marks the beginning OF
the new game where Love is the
juggler and the plaything In his
hands is the bruised and aching heart
of his tormentor no one knows.
The inexperienced declare that that
hour never strikes. The love SCARED
know that it struck when they were
merriest, and that in a twinkling they
found themselves the sport of that
which had been their game.
The girl who is playing with Love
grows tired and bids Love go. He
turns to depart, and there comes to
her a swift revelation of the dreari-
ness of life without him, and she com
mands him to stay.
The hour has struck. He refuses
and then she drops TO her knees and
begs for that which she once scorned.
Only stay" she implores. "and you
may do with me as you will And
Love stays and for every tear that
she has made him shed he makes her
shed a torrent.
Every little pinch and bruise on his
body has made a mark on his heart
that Is charged to her account, for
which she must pay in humiliation
and anguish. No cold blooded, calcu-
lating enemy who starts out to de-
stroy and let's nothing under heaven
interrupt or change or balk or defeat
his plans was ever more ruthless than
this little God of Love.
Love is. as the young hope. the only
real joy life holds. And only those
who have known it know the depths
Of despair and sorrow.
In the beginning it is the play
thing; in the end the hearts of men
and women are it's toys.
