A MAIDEN SPEECH.
IL was Phil Abbotts maiden
public effort, the speech he made
before the Metropolitan society.
In college Phil. had been the class
oracle and class orator and knock
ed them over In debate with the
ease and regularity with which
az. M. C.. A. assistant secretary
knocks over bowling pins while
monopolizing the alley and
privilege that a regular member
has paid a year in advance for. .
Phil. Abbotts wife had heard
the speech-several times, IN faot,
or as many times as Phil. had
rehesrsed Il before his bedroom
mirror, and her opinion was that
II was too heavy, but II was too
late to change II.
II had required hours OF re-
search and study and deep dig
aino into the books Of Darwin,
and IL has TO be admitted that
PHI. had put together pretty
faih sort Of speech on Life and
Its Conservation"
Phil. sat down TO the speakers
table but II you we're to ask him
today what the bill OF fare con-
sisted Of, he couldn't begin to tell
you.
He might recall that they
brought on lemon Ice because that
was the last course and represent
ed a signal not unlike the strik-
Inp Of 4 O'Clock 70 man con-
demned TO be hanged at five.
Phil. took look at the other
speakers, all seasoned az the
uame, and was conscious OF the
new appearance Of hIs own dress
sult. He would have given half
Of his life II he could have felt az
much az ease as the man who had
lust concluded his speech and sat
down.
Inc NoIt speaker bccUou 70
have made considerable Of hit
with hIs remarks, but Phil. had
not followed him because Just az
this speaker had taken the floor,
Phil. realized that he would be
next and awed considerably when
he discovered that the start Of hIs
remarks had suddenly taken
wlngs and departed It's way.
Phil. resolved that the next time
no attended banquet he would
Z appear az one OF the regular eat
ere out In front and would have
nothing TO contend with but
possible touch Of Indigestion.
Suddenly Phil. was Introduced.
He felt his chair clip out from
under him and himself adrift
upon a sea- 90 far out that he
couldn't see land In any Of the
four directions.
He remembered that he had
prepared a Get Of statistics out Of
book. and this gave him, drown

SMALL OSTRICH FARMS
 ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL

That prospects are bright for the reproduction in this valley of those conditions which have made ostrich farming so successful in South Africa is the opinion of many who are familiar with the industry, and who believe that the disposal of the large flock of the Pan-American farm west of this city will work great benefit to this section of the southwest
 In south Africa the best results have been accomplished where the birds are handled in small flocks, and where more individual attention can he given than is possible where they are handled in large numbers. In this very connection the division of the flock into companies of a few birds each it is said. will result in improved methods of handling them and q better output of plumes.
 Already there is score of new ostrich farms in the Salt River val ley. as result of the sale of the American flock, and as there are still 2000 birds to he disposed of. if is considered probable that the num- Der of those who will take up this profitable line will be greatly iucreas- ed in the near future.

It is beautiful story dominated by a deeply religious sentiment. It portrays the supreme affection which is felt by a man and woman for a child-a boy. The plays dramatic qualities are of the finest kind, and what with the big truth it discloses, the play justifies it's place as q feature on the Regales Uni versal program.
