diseerned, much to her relief, that
none of these bones were human. This
was, or had been, the den Of the lion.
There was an acrid, unpleasant odor,
so she hurried back to the brazier.
Vaguely she comprehended that she
must keep the fire replenished from
time to time in order to pacify the
two holy men. At night it would fend

they begin to have a mind of their

more disobedient, more deliberate,

WAR.

|" IAK sat on nign place near
M the city named Earth, where
~ all who passed along the
highway called Life could see him as
they went on their journeys. Among
those who took their eyes from the
ground was King. When he saw War
he stopped.
"Who are you that sits beside the
highway of Life?" asked King.
War answered.:
Pride. / am the maker and unmaker
Of dynasties. l set up and pull down
the rulers of Earth, the great city in
which you dwell. By me wealth and
strength are apportioned, dishonor is
redeemed, right is made pain, and
justice is DONE"
So King went his way, thinking,
"War is good"
Soon there came Young Man, and
he too asked who War was.
War said:
81 am Adventure and Daring, Bold
ness and Hardihood. / bestow renown
and distinction on men. Those who
follow me grow brave of spirit and
hard of body. They learn the happi-
ness that comes from ardent toll, the
ioy that is born of struggle. The peo-
pie of Earth look with greatest favor
on those who enroll themselves in my
record book and reward them with
the first consideration.
Young Man whistled as he followed
the highway called Life, and cried
aloud, "War is nobel"
Next Old Man, weak of sight and
hard of hearing, peered at War and
said: "Who are you, up there?"
To Old Man War replied:
81 am Memory and the Thoughts
of Yesterday. / it was who filled your
heart with friends and clothed your
mind with the good memorials of
glorious past. I took from you your
arm, but in its place gave you some
thing far better, the service of de-
voted friend. By me you were made
poor in pocket, to beg your bread rs
you walked the highway called Life,
but in exchange I gave you the great
days of your manhood to comfort and
sustain you"
Old Mans face was lighted by his
thoughts of the brave days when he
knew War, and as he set one foot be-
fore the other he chuckled, and struck
his thigh with his hand, and mumhled
in is beard: 81 mind now that War
is the great thing"
But then there came on the high
way called Life Woman, who had
borne sons that War had destroyed,
and daughters who had wept upon
her skirts for their husbands that
War had torn from them; Woman.
who had dried the tears of orphans
War had made and stanched the blood
of wounds that War had given; Wont
an, who had mourned Wars dead, and
starved that War might eat.
And Woman saw War and asked
him nothing, but fled shrieking away
from him on the highway called Life;
and as Woman fled from him War
was silent, for he had no word. to
speak.-New York Sun.

Combination of Good Cof-

Thousands of Visitors to
Creamery Exhibits

A feature of the exhibits at the fair
grounds that does not fail to attract
hundreds of visitors daily are the re-
freshment booths in the creamery
building. where the manufacturers of
four standard products have united in
presenting a happy combination of
sample eats for all Corners.
Refreshed by a cup Of Ben Hur cof-
fee, the tired sightseer is only too glad
to pause for some biscuits, hot from the
oven of a Majestic range, buttering
them with the product of the HASA
yampa creamery and topping off with
sweets from the exhibit of the Arizona
Honey exchange. The biscuits, made
by past masters in the culinary art, are
built from Star flour, a Phoenix pro-.
duct, and go straight to the spot"
In spite of the attractions at the
purple and gold booth, however, this
exhibit is by no means the only one of
interest. Beside the large display of
the Pacific creamery company, where
one may have another cup of coffee
with Lily cream, there is the large
booth of the Hassayampa creamery,
with its cases of milk and stacks of
butter, and other products. Here too.

state fair and see what she can do.

needlework. and then go over to the
culinary and pastry division and ask
who won the prizes.
Not in the children's department, for
some of the exhibitors felt that their
iellies. jams and cakes were in the
grown up class and competed for
premiums with their mothers. Yes, and
they got away with it.
Miss Helen Plath and Miss Adeline
Plath, better known as the Plath
twins, the seventeen year-old daugh
tiers of DR.. and Mrs. Otto Plath were
winners four times, taking the blue
ribbon on jams, jelies, preserves and
cake, while their mother considered
herself fortunate in receiving two priz-

the Indian which is exceedingly acute.
One of the finest pieces of this work
is a copy of Harrison Fishers "On the
Beach by Monroe Fredericks, a four
teen year old boy
Next came the industrial booth,
which is the best exhibit by far than
any in the whole department. There
are wonderful specimens of tools that
have been turned out by the blacksmith
shop, buckets, oil cans, and milk pals
from the tin shop; complete sets of
harness from the harness shops, uni
forms from the tailor shop, cases from
the carpenter shop, and copies of the
work turned out by the printing shop.
But the best piece of all is the COM
plete spring wagon that is so small
that the smallest baby would just be
comfortably seated in it. The wonder
full piece of work will be sent to the
worlds fair at Frisco and was turned
out by the students in the blacksmith
shop of the school.
The exhibit in whole is extra fine and
shows that the Indian is advancing to a
stage with the aid of the United States
government that is not far from our
own stage of civilization. They are
turning out mechanics, tailors, printers,
tinsmiths, dressmakers, cooks, and
housewives that are hard TO beat. Great
praise is due to the faculties of the
schools and to the students themselves
