and country: and in the unflinching
resolution that government of the
people, for the people, by the people
shall not perish from the earth.

Modern Fables"
(Old Age.)

The skies were hot and dry,
the road dusty and long. Old
Age, weary, athirst, and en-
feebled with hunger's pangs,
sat herself by the roadside and
awaited the return of her
waning strength, or succor
from another hand.
For a weary while she wait
ed, but relief came not. At
last in the distance she spied
two travellers. who rode some
distance apart. as though they
we're strange to each other.
The first who approached
her was Sir Bank Account.
But all through life had Old
Age disdained him, and now
he passed her by In her sore
need and affliction.
And the other traveller who
rode along the highway Of life
on that dusty day was Pow
erty. And Poverty. the knave.
came down from his horse and
rested with Old Age, nor
would he be gone, but tarried
with her. though she had
rather been alone in her sor-
row than In such company az
his.
MORAL: Fortify yourself
against the needs of tomor-
row by banking part of what
you earn today.

l It is good for us all to bear our bur den-our yoke-and especially so, in
 our youth. The mind of man was not ! made for indulgence-it grows sick and I weak under indulgence. The human body was not made for luXuries-it sickens and dies under them. Children are injured by too much 1 attenticn-too much care-too many society indulgencies' They are not left to exert their own powers, as they should be. to fight their own battles. For such reasons we are bound to distrust the Influence of wealth. Wealth. of course, may be converted to good or bad ends. Independence and luxuries are not usually good for men.
 We know there are exceptions, but we have seen so much of the evil ef- feet of wealth upon mind-making it proud, naughty and mpatient-taking away it's simplicity and humility-and we have heard such evidence to the same effect from those who make it their business to deal with affairs of wealth, that We cannot trust to the boasted advantage of wealth
 We are sick of the worlds fawning admiration of wealth The greatest and noblest things in worlds history nave been achieved by poor men-poor artisans-poor artists, poor phiioso- phers, poor poets and poor men of genius.
 A certain staidness. sobriety, moder- alton and restraint is good for men, The body is not made for luxuries nor the mind is not made for indulgences which causes it to grow weak and dwarfish.
 A man who has been trained in the school of industry and frugalty, per hapS acquires a fortune. His children will probably keep it. but the third generation invariably goes upon the rolling wheel of fortune and there they leave the energy necessary to rise again
 Yet, we go on placing our children on the mad road to indulgence. vice degradation and ruin. One of the very worst traits in our modern civilization IS our excessive desire for and admira ton of wealth. Further than this. we gre in a bad way, because this po- l1tical civilization has created the insa- tlahle desire for wealth, while our mental development has not advanced enough to teach us how to make the proper USE of it.
 Few are the men who are not striv- ing and struggling. lying and stealing. Wohnding and killing, for WEALTH. Wealth, the vampire, the ruiner. of body and mind, We Understand not, the proper use. It is WEALTH that we WORSHIP. WEALTH our GOD.

IA POULTRY SECRET DiVULGEO
Delaware Man Has Rule to Insure Matching Turkey Gobblers Only

Townsend, Del.-Magistrate John D. Carter claims to have made a discovery that insures the matching of fifteen male turkeys to every setting of fertile eggs. Seventeen or nineteen eggs may be placed under hen turkey, he says but only fifteen will hatch. The man-in the moon regulates the
 hatch and seems only to know No. Is,
 said Magistrate Carter. "The eggs
 should be gathered on the second quar-
 ter of the moon and, if hen wants to set in the meantime, hold her by plac- ing a couple of eggs under her until the moon is at it's full. when you take the fifteen eggs to the nest, approaching with the right foot extended.
 Then, with right hand held toward the moon when it is directly overhead, and with the index finger pointing at the nose on the fact of the moon, you place the eggs in the nest with the left hand. Then back away from the hen. the nest and the eggs. Fifteen gobblers will result from this every time. This can only be done once in each season; at other times the brood will hatch mixed.

HUNTING HELPS MAKE SOLDIERS

While not every one of the three hundred thousand citizens who se- cured hunters licenses last year could qualify as a sharpshooter, Dieter kalbfus secretary of the state game commission. is not wholly imaginative in suggesting that in the maintenance of it's game preserves and in the en- couragement of the hunt the state is contributing to it's preparedness for military emergency.
 An essential of soldiers equipment is to know how to shoot, and training for craftsmanship in the pursuit of bird or rabbit is obviously of value. But even more essential is the sol dier.s health, the ruggedness of con- stitution and physical condition to stand the stress of march and work, and outdoor training is the sint quo non. Anything that the state does to get it's young men out of doors and to interest them in health building, muscle strengthening, nerve resting sport, goes far in preparing efficient soldiers, and to this physical condi- tioning there is added the practical training in the handling of gun and rifle.

Ripping Rhymes

To work is good, to saw your wood, while yet the sun is shining, to make the hoe move to and fro, where pumpkin vines are twining. For men who Shirk all useful work are never happy mortals, by any chance-they do not dance and fill the air with chortles. But don't, my lad. make work q fad, the end and aim of liv ing; for every day some time to play all toilers should be giving. In this broad land we beat the band, the way we hump and hustle; we keep up steam and work and scheme, and wear out mind and muscle. While young in years, above our ears the gray of age is showing; it would be best to stop and rest, but still we keep on going. Then something snaps-the brain, perhaps-beyond all cures or patches. and we are shown to walls of stone. to cells in booby hatches To work is grand, but stay your hand, when comes the evening playtime: take in the shows and things like those, and leave your tasks for daytime.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. s. 1915.

The Editor of the Arizona Repubn-
 can, Phoenix, Arizona:
 Dear Sir-Occasionally during the summer months, there have appeared in your journal verses by q Mir. Miller. I have read them al,. from the o%e about a pepper tree to the last, called "MoCnheams MoonbeamS; second reading convinced me absolutely that am not the author, so l hasten to write, disclaiming them in justice both to their real parent and to those friends who may be holding gratulatory thoughts toward me.
 I wrote some poetry once, quite while ago; it was very, very good. I remember, it commenced, "Polymna, daughter of Zeus." or something like that. and gods and goddesses walked about in it just as nice and common as you please
 I realized even then, though, that the footsteps of the public were not upon the exalted plane Whereon stalled my muse, and refrained from publishing; succeeding years have as sured me that I was indeed wise-
 This realization, also, impels me letter, since not for a moment should seem to stretch an impious hand to- ward the crown upon the laureate brow of Irwin H. Miller.
 Alas. my own middle name is not Homer. Yours guiltlessly,

THE GRAND CANYON
By George Fitch

The Grand Canyon of the Coio- rado is small scratch on the earth's surface made by Nature to show
 man what an insignificant insect he is. It is 100 miles long, 13 miles
 wide and 5000 feet deep Viewed from Mars, it would look like a wrinkle on the face of Nature View
 ed from it's brink, it is so awe-inspir- ing that even Commercial Travellers look at it in silence, and famous writers claw hopelessly for adequate adjectiveS.
 The Grand Canyon was made by the Colorado River about the time the mother-in law joke was invented.
 The Colorado is not a large stream, but 1t has always been very busy. It has eaten it's way through a mile of sandstone and a thousand feet of granite and has produced a chasm filled with weird temples of red. yellow. white and black rock, 5000 feet high. It is estimated that it has taken to accomplish this enough horse power to light a boulevard be- tween here and the moon. One can always tell a power ma agnate by the may he weeps when he sees the canyon.
 The Colorado Canyon runs through a vast desert and begins without warning. At any point for a hun dred miles, it would be possible for the casual wanderer to step off of the United States and to starve to death before he got through falling This shows the wisdom of Nature Had she placed the Canyon near New York. 100000 people a year would fall into it, while in it's present position it does not need to be fenced at all. However, owing to it's iso- lated position, the Canyon does not draw nearly as much tourist patron age as Niagara Falls, Mt. Vesuvius, Uncle Joe Cannon and other natura. phenomena. More people see Coney Island in a night than see Colorado Canyon in year. This is partly what is the matter with New York.
 The Canyon is located in Arizona, 65 miles away from the nearest drug store, and is already in the hands of a trust. there being only one railroad to it. It is so vast that thunder storms not only rage in it while the spectator watches them from above, but sometimes they wander off and get lost in the side canyons. Its grandeur is height ened by the fact that not SlnSle sign adorns it's walls. In spite of the unparalleled opportunity to an nounce the virtues of soaps and soups in letters half mile high, no sign painter with nerve enough to tackle the job has been found. There is only one trail to the water below the Bright Angel trail. named for the people who have fallen off; and by mounting a burrow the tourist can find himself in two hours in scene of utter desolation which has never been penetrated by the automobile, the book agent, the pianola, the hob- ble skirt the tariff question or the senatorial scandal. Many tourists have taken this spot for Paradise and have had to be removed by force.
 The Grand Canyon is the greatest natural curiosity in existence, ana it is a comfort to reflect that no matter what man may do to 1t, or how long he may keep on doing 1t, the results will only be visible through a strong glass. It is one thing in the world that is too big to be abused.
