PRESERVING SAVIOR OF LIFE
Undue Curiosity, if Gratified, Would
Inevitably Develop a Race
of FataIists.

To find that the earth itself is but
queer little appanage of a rather Sec
ond-rate star; to know by actual vision
that we are all plunging through
space, perchance, during the period of
known history, having accomplished
small arc of some immense orbit
whose magnificent center burns be-
yond the farthest nebulae; to feel that
stars have famed and died whose light
has never reached us-is not all this
knowledge a fierce Indictment to our
desire? Whittier are we bound, and
why? What fate awaits us at the end of
the awful journey? Are we placed
amidst this mighty universe for pur-
pose, to watch, to wonder, to worship?
Is the whole scheme built round us. so
that, though we are not its physical
center, we may be it's spiritual center,
and for US all its tremendous opera
tons are carried on, for US its pro-
foundest mysteries shall some day be
disclosed? Or are we the subject of
trifing experiment by great unknown
gods, who, curious in their turn, spy
at us for their diversion, and will in
moment destroy it all, as a child
wipes out drawing on his slate?
We say unthinkingly that we wish
we knew the answers to these ques-
lions. But, If we did, the keen SAVIOR
of life would vanish; curiosity killed,
we should become utter fatalists, and
that would be the end of us. For the
thought that by increased knowledge
comes access of power, and that we
can, even to ever SO slight an extent,
shape the future to our will and thus
bear our part in the destiny of human
ity, is the inspiration of all thinkers,
the burden of all philosophers, and the
belief of all the great dreamers who
have moved the world.

Archhishop,s Hospitality.

London in the eighteenth century
did not afford SO many free shows as
at present, but visitors who knew the
ropes could then obtain at least one
sumptuous dinner for nothing. The
author of lie Guide de Londres pour
les Voyageurs strangers" published
ITO, writes: IF you feel disposed to
dine well without unloosing your
pursestrings, and at the same time re
ceive a hearty welcome, go and see
my lord the archbishop Of Canterbury
who keeps open house at Lambeth
every Saturday, and is most cordial
to foreigners, especially If they be
men of letters. 1t is advisable to ar
rive at my lord archbishop's palace
not later than noon, so as to be pre-
scented without any difficulty. Send

NAcozARI AGAIN NORMAL

Walter Douglas, who went to NacO-
zari, accompanying the American en-
ployes of the Moctezuma Copper COM
pany, who returned to their duties
last week, arrived back in Douglas
yesterday morning and continued on
to his home in Warren. Mr.. Douglas
stated that he found Nacozari in a
normal condition and no sign of any
excitement over the present Mexico
crisis. During the time the Ameri-
cans were away both the mines and
mill continued in operation. The
Americans were welcomed most heart
lily on their return to Nacozari-

"Yes," he answered again, positively.

took up a trowelt and. dug into the
rich earth. Then she scattered the
dead powder in the hole that she had
made, and covered it carefully.
A fortnight later she took the child
to see it.
"You remember that dead black
powder that we sowed here" she re-
minded him
YES" he answered quickly. "It
was just here. This is the little board
you put in Sc that we might know"
"And yet these pretty little gray
green plants came from those dead,
black Seeds" she told him.
Right out Of them?" he asked
breath1essly.
Yes. They seemed SO small and
black, you know; yet there was the
germ of little plant IN each one Of
them, and soon they will be covered
with bright flowers. We could never
believe anything so strange IL we did
not see it right before our eyes. And
so it is with the loved ones that we
think are dead. They are not dead;
and in some other world, we do not

Christ to show us all these things. He
taught us how to live; and then. he
seemed to die, but he rose from the
dead on the third day, and talked with
his friends, to show us that, as he
lived after death, so we should live
also. And the great apostle Raul
made it palmer still. He said that we

TAXPAYERS AND TAX
COMMISSION TO MEET.
Monday, May II Set as Date for Joint

That the state taxpayers association
recently organized in the state is get
ting down to business like cooperative
methods is evidenced by the fact that
at the invitation of the association the
state tax commission and state examjn
err will meet with the executive COM
mittee of tn eassociation on Monday,
May II for full discussion of ways and
means whereby the state officials and
the association can cooperate in
carrying into effect the objects of the
association.
Governor Hunt has also been in
vited to this conference as well as
state and county officials who have
to do with tax matters. President
Tharaldson of the state association
stated this morning that one of the
results of the conference will be to
obtain material and ideas for subject
matter for the official organ of the as
ISOLATION which will shortly be issued
devoted exclusively to tax matters.
There are many problems which con-
front the tax commission one, in par
ticular, being the lack of information
in tax matters and the officials of the
association hope to assist the commits
sion in carrying to the taxpayers gen
orally through the medium of the ma
gazine, knowledge that will permit ev-
cry taxpayer to intelligently under
stand state, county and municipal rev.
enue questions.
Secretary Whitmarsh of the associa-
ton reports that much interest is being
taken in the work of the association
due mostly to the circulars being sent
out and the active work of the trus-
tees in each county. Yesterdays mail
brought in twenty applications from
one locality which is a sample of the
way the association is growing.

A MILLION FoRDs.

Detroit, Mich More than half
million Fords have been built and sold
to date The five hundred thousand
figure was passed about the middle
of April. The company's big High
land Park, Michigan factory was
speeded up and completed automobiles
were being turned out at the rate of
more than eleven hundred day as
the half million milestone was left
behind This was but continuation
of the pace set in March, when for
twenty-six consecutive working days
the daily production exceeded eleven
hundred cars.
Since 1908 the growth of the COM
pany as indicated by the yearly car
sales has been phenomenal. That
year the sales tOtaled more than six
thousand, the next year they jumped
to more than eleven thousand, the
next year they we're more than nine
teen thousand, in 1911 thye exceeded
thirty-seven thousand, in 1912 they
were more than seventy-four thous-
and, and in 1913 they were in excess
of one hundred eighty thousand.
And this years sales ar excepting up
the pace The Fords built before 1908,
those built and sold SO far this year,
and the total of the sales for the six
years given above combine to make
a grand total of more than a half-mil-
lion.
These half million cars have been
sold in every country of the globe
where a motor car could possibly run.
They may be found in the interior of
darkest Africa, in the valleys of the
Andes of South America, in Ceylon, on
the Isle of Jolo, Philippines, and in
the out-of-the-way places of the
world.
And in most every land there are
practically twice as many Fords as
cars of any other SINCE make.
1t is quite generally agreed that the
slogan Every Third Car a Ford is
practically true in all countries.

Is it too much to lay
Your unbelief aside
Just for this one brief day,
Just for His sake who died
Nailed to the cruel tree.
There where the darkness fell7
Is it too much, since He
Gave so freely and well3
Is it too much tolgive
Him they could cruelty
For teaching men how to live,
For showing them how to die3
Humbly He came, and so
He went on His righteous way.
Is it too much to throw
Doubt aside for today
Is it too much to bow
Humbly little while1
Think of His bleeding brow.

He gave us His all and took
Nothing but sin away;

Ex-oFFIcIAL is DEAD.

Word has been received lin Douglas
of the death of Charles P. Leitch, a
we'll known and former resident of
Arizona, at Sacramento, CAL, during
the middle of last week. The deceased
was territorial auditor during the ad-
ministration of President Grover
Cleveland. On retiring from the audi
tors office he became business man
ager of the Arizona Gazette. He is
survived by his wife. At the time of
his death he still retained large min

you this minute. She loves you just
the same as ever"
mo, no." wept the child; she is
dead. The doctor said so; and know
it is true, because I kissed her, and
she did not kiss me back again. II
she had known, she would have kissed
me back again-for she always did.
And, oh, oh-my mother is deadi"
Il know it seems so, darling
sighed the aunt, whose own heart was
sore and heavy, but under that still
face there was yet life. Christ showed
US that when he rose from the dead.
He did not answer when his mother
and his disciples called him; but one
day he rose from this seeming death.
to show US that no one really dies.
That was the first Easter day. Men
had always hoped-but they had never
surely known before then-that the
dead could rise again. Is it not beau
tifu1, dear?"
The child for a little seemed com.
forted. Then he looked over to the
familiar chair where the sweet mother
had been wont to hold him and pet
him, and again he broke into sobs. He
was only f1ve-and his little mind
could not grasp the great, sweet truth
which his aunt had been telling him.
At last she said: ct will show it to
you some time so that you will under
stand"
1t was in the early springtime that
the young mother had been laid away
from his sight. The cold winds were
blowing, the trees looked bare and
gaunt and dead.
Out among the 1eaf1ess woods the
aunt led the grieving child.
See these poor trees she said to
him. Does it not look to you as
though they were quite dead?"
He felt carefully of the branch
which she held out to him.
Eyes," he answered; at is only an
old dead stick-just good to burn in
the fire."
at seems So" she admitted. but
wait while, and we will come back
here again"
One warm, sunny day, few weeks
later, she took him to the same spot
and showed him the same Dough
again. 1t was covered with soft.
fuzzy leaf-buds, and little clusters of
tender green leaves were bursting
from them.
This is the same Dough that you
thought was Dead" she said. What
do you think now?"
ct wasn't dead, was it?' murmured
the child slowly. What pretty leaves!
am glad it wasn't dead"
"And it is so with our dear ones
who die" she reminded him gently.
"They seem dead, but they really
live; and somewhere they are happy
and beautiful beautiful than
they were here-just as the leaves are
more beautiful than the bare tree
The child gazed after them. TheI
he looked back at the once deadlock
ing, bare trees. He remembered well
the queer, brown sticks. How wonder
full it was!
They seemed dead" she reminded
him again, gently; but you see that
they were not"
No." he rejoined thoughtfully, they
were not"

repeated. They may seem to be dead,
but they are not"
