UNFoRGETTABLE

NEVER learned the wonder of that lane
Drenched with the summer rain
yhere through my boyish feet were
wont to pass,
Until left for the passionate town.
Marble and iron and brass
FILLED with all laughter; yea, and
filled, alas,
with life's immortal pain
Then 1 beheld it's magic. Then knew
How every rosebush grew,
How every leaf rocked In the wind
blown noon,
Far, far away 1 saw it beneath the
moon
On matchless nights of June,
When the untarnished silver of the
sky
Poured through the boughs,
And two young lovers whispered
deathless vows,
And then | heard
Each song -enraptured bird
Pipe his mad music as we wandered
by.
1 breathed the fragrance of the haw-
thorn flowers,
I drank the joy that the black cup OF
night
Poured for my youth's delight
While round about me from great
steeples and towers
The punctual city clocks sounded the
rushing hours.
| shall go back some day
TO the enchantment of that wildwood
way,
l shall know once again the scent OF
musk
In the cool summer dusk,
And lay my head upon Nights pillow;
lay
My fevered body where the blossoms
sway
Against the velvet curtains of the dark
| shall see glowworms light their little
spark
In the hushed evening; hear the
crickets Groom,
And marvel at the moon.

BEFORE THE
SANDMAN COMES
|AN you imagine sunset without

"AN you imagine sunset without
pink and rose, without violet
and blue? With no softly
tinted clouds chasing over the sky
and no gorgeous crimson ball drop
ping lower and lower towards the
horizon1
Yet in some lands the sun just
slips out of sight without color or
glow. Listen to the story of how the
beautiful sunsets came to be.
Long years ago the sun shone with
all his fiery fury through the long. day
all the time from sunrise till he
dropped out of sight in the west He
thought that was the right way to do,
you see.
One day two little cloud fairies met
each other in the sky. Isn't the sun
a perfectly awful personp said one:
dOh no, lie isn't awful at ALL" said
the other pleasantly, ".he is merely
stupid"
"Stupidp exclaimed the first fairy
in amazement; chow do you make that
out"
The second fairy chuckled softly.
"That's easyl He is SO very stupid he
thinks he has to shine his very hottest
and hardest all the day"
Eyes. but that proves how powerful
he is" said the first fairy.
mot at ALL" replied the other; ut
merely proves lie only knows how to
do ono thing. Now ] could make the
sun really famous if I had the chance
Whats that? What's that2' cried
the sun in his gruff, fiery voice
who's talking about me"
IL am" replied the fairy bravely u
was wishing I could make you ia
Make me famous" cried the SUN in
disgust Don't you know | am famous
already"
Famous as hot-head, fiery ,perso1n,

make YOU famous for your beauty and
softness, your color and glow,
"Who cares about such trit1es as
those?" said the sun heated-.. u daz-
zle the world with my fire and light
that is enough
But he couldn't forget what the fairy
had said He thought Of it all the
hours. Beauty she said. | wonder
what beauty would be like? Would
il be as great as strength"
you could have both" whispered
the fairy. who happened by just then:
"Now YOU have only strength, but !,

So the fairy called her mates and
clouds. They tinted the sky as ram

And the old sun was pleased and
happy and thanked the fairies for their
toll. .,
So ever since that day the sun
shows his strength at nooont,de ana NJ ms

strength the trees and flowers grow;

COST Or ARMED PEACE

"Whatcver may be the cost of the titanic struggle now going on in Europe in actral expenditure or in indemEities, It may easily be met without increasing present taxation bl the simple expedient of reducing aTmaments.' says correspondent of an eastern journal.
 The annual cost of militarism in Europe is equal to that of a continu- uus and eXhausting war. The fol- lowing figures. compiled from the Al n,anach de Gotha for 1914. give tAe military budget for six great powers for 1913:

RUTH q. DENIS SPHOEN|X
World-famous Interpreter of Oriental Dances Holds Large Audience Spell bound by Beauty and Mys- ticism of Her Art

Everything has it's bright side and even the dreadful war that is horrify- ing the world is responsible for some good things. For instance it is di- rectiy responsible for the appearance of Ruth St Denis at the Elks theater last evening, had it not been that it caused the cancelling of her European engagements Phoenix would probably never have had an opportunity to see this truly wonderful artist.
 In a program of oriental dances Miss St Denis charmed q large audience as no artist has done in many long months We can think of no artist who does things as this remarkable woman does them, her art is all her own. and it is an art that is now be- ing more appreciated by the public than ever before, for the simple reason that the universal interest in dancing has made the public alive to the subtilties of really good work. We can think of nothing more exquisite than her Ar ranging of the Flowers it had the delicate atmosphere of a Japanese print and held the audience spelibound. The Ecscock legend was d wonderfully i'm agieativc creation, superb in it's con- ception and marvellous in it's interpre- tation In modern dances she was seen to advantage in the St. Denis Mazurka with MT. Shawn.
 The one blot CT her performance was the "Tmpromptu Dance, it was mani festly ont of place and altogether un- worthy of Miss St Denis, one of those things which would be much better left undone.
 Mir ShaWns dancing pleased the au- diehce immensely particularly his wcrk in the Bacchanale of the Earth Cycle The dance. itself admirably composed. gave him an opportunity to display a command of technique con sderably above the average danseur classique
 i The work Of the supporting company was most pleasing and far better than i that with which q star usually sur rounds herself
 There will be a matinee this after noon and while money temporarily may perhaps have little more value than tt usu1lly has in this section of the country, 1t is worse than false economy for the lovers oi beautiful things to de- prive themselves of the opportunity to see Miss St Denis Her work will leave a lasting memory that Will be of far greater value than the money eX- pended.

 One of the significant facts of the recent paign has been the appearance of many such ad vertsements in what formerly hide-bound party organs says the Editor and Publisher of New York. Most of remember when the editors such newspapers bitterly opposed cleo ton of any candidate matter what his character and standing might be, if not political faith to which it was committed. All consdera- tions of decency and fair play in the treatment of such candidates were ignored Their names mentioned except in a contemptuous If exhaustive inquiry into a mans did not reveal anything his discredit, porters and editors instructed to invent some thing that could be used to bring about his defeat
 What has worked the change that has the field political journalism that the candidate office is no longer treated though he was a villain the deepest dye, if nominated by the opposing political party?
 first place there mighty few of the old time political organs left. Newspapers now more independent, broader minded, and freer to express their honest CONVICTIONS fornerly those committed to the support of party causes did not dare to criticize the nominees of their own party for fear that they would arouse the antagonism of party leaders and thus lose certain amount of po- ltcal patronage that given them as mtter of Instances innumerable could be cited in which newspapers have repudiated party nominees because they believed that their election would he detrimental to the peoples best interests

obliged not only to provide for her own expenditures, but to pay enor- nous indemnities to the victors. she can easily do so by reducing her war expenditures, which last year amount ed to s460. .000, 000 This sum is the an nual interest on 5000, 100000. Under any circumstances the cost to her can hardly amount to this stupendous sum. Even if her forces be reduced one-half, she could then issue bonds for $4- 800 000,0 GOO and pay the interest thereon without increasing taxation in any particular and, in fact, with greater ease than the present enormous war expenditure raised, for the reason that 434 .000 active men would be added to the producers.
 But if Germany disarmed only in part, all the other nations would do so also. The economic results of peace on
 this basis would be startling in the ex- treme. There would be an immediate expansion of manufacturing and com merce beyond the bounds of anything heretofore known. Consumption of all commodities would increase to such an extent that the present worlds facili- ties for transporting. selling and finan-

CHANGE IN GERMAN INFANTRY
 TACTICS

A neutral observer with the German army for a time in Belgium makes the following interesting statement: In general actions, not skirmishes or out post affairs, the German infantry, used as the armies of other nations employ this branch of the service, may be hardly said to exist The German foot soldier is now but a support to machine gun and artillery fire. To every in fantry regiment there are attaclTed some ten or twelve machine guns that are kept concealed in light regimental transport They are without wheels, are carried by hand and can be quickly moved from one position to another on the firing line The preponderance in numbers of this important defensive and. as the Germans use it, offensive arm of the service cannot be overesti- mated. Their possession has changed German infantry tactics. Accuracy of individual rifle fire has been subordin- ated to showers of shrapnel, to sweep ing streams of lead and to continued leveled volleys of musketry at given ranges Trusting to clearing the way in this fashion, infantry are moved for ward in great masses.
