Different Matter.

It was the first night of the panto-
mime, and Jack took his seat in the
pit next to lad about the same age
as himself.
Say, mate, can you smoke in
here?" he inquired, when he had made
himself as comfortable as he could.

A few minutes afterward Jack saw
others smoking, and, looking about,
discovered that there we're no prohibit
tory notices on the walls, SO again adj
dressed the quiet one:
II thought you said you couldn't
smoke in here?"

ton were plucked up bodily by the
roots-not from where you see it, but
from sea-level-and carefully set
down in the Grand canyon you prob
ably would not notice it next morning,
unless its dull colors distinguished it
in that innumerable congress of larger
and painted giants.
All this, which is literally true, is a
mere trifle OF what might be said In
trying to fix standard of comparison
for the Grand canyon. You may COM
pare all you will, eloquently and from
wide experience, and at last all SMILES
fail The Grand canyon Is just the
Grand canyon, and that is all you can
say.
1t is no mere cleft. 1t is a terrific
trough 5000 to 1000 feet deep, ten to
twenty miles wide, hundreds of miles
long, peopled with hundreds of peaks
taller than any mountain east of the
Rockies, yet not one of them with its
head SO high as your feet, and all
ablaze with such color as no eastern or
European landscape ever knew. And
as you sit upon the brink the divine
scene-shifters give you a new canyon
every hour. With each degree of the
suns course the great counter-sunk
mountains fade away and new ones.
as terrific, are carved by the westering
shadows.
The Grand canyon country is not
only the hugest, but the most varied
and instructive example on earth of
one Of the chief factors OF earth-build-
ing erosion. 1t is the mesa country
the land of tables. Nowhere else on
the footstool is there such an example
of deep-gnawing water or of water
high carving. The sandstone mesas
of the Southwest, the terracing OF
canyon walls, the castellation, battle
menting and cliff-making, the cutting
down of whole landscape except its
precipitous islands of fiat-topped rock,
the thin lava tablecloths on tables
100 feet high-these are a few of the
things which make the Southwest
wonderful alike to the scientist and
the sightseer.

four feet in diameter; and just across
one valley a buried forest" whose
huge siliciied-not agatized-logs
show their ends under fifty feet of
sandstone.
The largest natural bridge in the
world, 200 feet high, over 500 feet
span and over 600 feet wide, up and
down stream, and with an orchard on
its top and miles of stalactite caves
under it's abutments.
The largest variety and display of
geologically recent volcanic action in
North America, with 60-mile lava
flows, 1,500-foot blankets of creamy
tufa cut by scores OF canyons; hun
dreds of craters and thousands OF
square miles of lava beds, basalt and
cinders, and so much volcanic glass"

of the prehistoric population.
Cave and Cliff Dwellings.
The largest and the most impressive
villages of cave-dwellings in the
world, most of them already aban-
doned when the "world-seeking Geno-
csc" sailed.
The many-storied cliff dwellings,
castles and forts and homes, in the
faces of wild precipices or upon their
tops-an aboriginal architecture as re-
markable as any in the land.
The rs strange communal town re-
publics of the descendants of the cliff
dwellers," the modern Pueblos; some
in fertile valleys, some like Acoma
and HopD perched on barren and
dizzy cliff tops. The strange dances,
rites, dress and customs of these an

problem of irrigation, six-story house
building and clean self-government,
and even women's rights-long before
Columbus was born.
Some of the most notable tribes of
savage nomads, like the Navajos,

most successful warriors in history.

At the head of the list stands the

All through his delirium Ralston
was family conscious of a woman's
face bending over him, with look of
compassion that TRANSPORTED it. Again
and again, as he came weakly back
from the fog of delirium into conscious
ness, he would realize her presence
and feel the cool hand on his burning
forehead.
When at last he opened his eyes to
the realization of his position he saw
that the face had been largely the
Pigment of his dreams. 1t was pleas
ant, motherly face, the face of wom-
an of thirty-five, perhaps; but it was
not the face he had imagined.
Are you feeling better?" asked a
soft voice.
Ralston tried to answer, but he was
too weak to speak. And, lying there,
he began to remember the circum-
stances of the accident.
He had gone West three years be-
fore to take up the homestead miles
away from the city, nursing in his
heart the remembrance of the girl
who had Tilted him and ruined his
life. He had abandoned everything,
his friends, his interests. Gradually

have seen it to establish that fact.
Many have come cynically prepared
to be disappointed; to find it over
drawn and really not so stupendous as
something else. 1t Is, after all, a hard
test that so be-bragged a wonder must
endure under the critical scrutiny OF
them that have seen the earth and the
fullness thereof. But never has the
most selfsatisfied veteran traveller

His Horse Stumbled and Threw Him.
the charm of the peaceful country had
chung about him, and he realized that
nature had a healing balm for his
wounded heart.
He had known that Mrs. Symon, a
widow of culture, had taken up the
homestead adjacent after her hus-
bands death, preferring the solitary
life in the wilds to a struggle in a
city; but he had not chosen to see
any woman, and on the rare occasions
when he saw her, as he rode past on
his way to the post, he only raised
his hat and turned his face away.
So he had lived three years, alone,
save for the occasional visit of a
neighbor, or the appearance of some
wanderer at his sod cabin. He passed
for a morose man, as, indeed, he was.
Nobody intruded on his life. Each
man had his own interests in that
wild region.
He had been riding to the post, ten
miles away, when his horse stumbled
and threw him. He had sustained in
ternal injuries, but no bones were
broken. The worst thing was severe
conclusion Of the brain, and for three
weeks he had been semiconscious, liv-
ing in a world of delirium.
1t was odd that in the place of the
woman who, till then, had occupied
his heart, he should have pictured
that face that bent compassionately
above him. The force of the delusion
had gripped his heart; now, on awak-
ening, he was almost glad to find that
it was a dream; and yet he knew that
the image persisted. 1t was ex-
traordinary that he should have i'm
agined what could never be in the
face OF Mrs. Symon.
For days he lay there, gradually
recovering his strength. 1t amazed
him that anyone should be so kind.
Ralston was thirty and Mrs. Symon
not too old for his expressions of graf
itude to bring a warm flush to her
face.
Gradually the motherly attitude
seemed to vanish. In place of 1t was
a very womanly sympathy, certain
equality that set Ralston thinking
hard.
After all, a man could not live alone
forever. And this woman was very
kind. kinder than any he had ever
known. She would assuage his lone
illness, and something told him that
she was not indifferent to him.
During the days Of his convalescence
he told her much about his past, and
what he did not tell her she surmised.
1t was only when he approached the
subject which had begun to possess
his thoughts that she nervously
checked him.
DO you know how old I am, Mr..
Ralston?" she asked, with laugh Of
embarrassment Forty"
1t did check him, as it was meant TO
do, but only because he meant to
make no error this time. A wife ten
years his senior! Well, such things
had been. He resolved that he would
ask her.

phrase and an overworked

ers do not take it lightly upon the
tongue. Noticeably it is most glibly
in use with those who but lately, and
for the first time, have wandered be-
yond their native state or county.
Yet in every sort there is, of course
somewhere the best thing in the
world" of it's kind.
There is and can be no dispute that
the term applies literally to several
things in the immediate region of the
Grand canyon of Arizona. AS has more
than once been said, probably no other
equal area on earth contains so many
supreme marvels of so many kinds
SO many astounding sights, SO many
masterpieces of natures handiwork,
so vast and conclusive an encyclope-
dia of the world-building processes, so
impressive monuments of prehistoric
man, so many triumphs of man still
in the tribal relation-as does what
has been called the Southwestern
Wonderland" This includes a large
part of New Mexico and Arizona, the
area which geographically and eth
geographically we may count as the
Grand canyon region. A few wonders
are:

Yet, with her woman intuition, she
postponed the matter until Ralston
was convalescent, till he was able to
hobble about the house. Yet each
knew that the other was acting a part,
and that it was only matter of time
until the words were spoken
did you know that l had a daugh-
ter?" she asked him one day.
"A daughter" unused Ralston. He
had not thought of that. Somehow, it
seemed impossible-this sweet-faced,
youngish woman, with a child.
"She las been living in the city
until | could make a home for her."
continued Mrs. Symon "She has been
here once or twice, and she is COM
ing to live with me next week" She
laid her hand ON his arm. Il want you
to wait till you have seen her." she
continued.
Ostensibly the words meant that
Ralston was to postpone his departure
until Lillian had come; but, actually,
he knew they meant that until then
nothing was to be said Of marriage.
Yet it was with difficulty that he
could restrain himself, for his love
had again given Mrs. Symon the as
poets of the woman in his dream, and
he felt that he could with her attain
that peace of soul which he had lost.
Lillian is coming tomorrow" Mrs.
Symon said one day. "Will you take
the horse to the depot and meet herr"
And your
ooh, l shall not have time if l am
to get things in order for her." an
swered Mrs. Symon with a little
laugh.
Ralston drove to the depot, and
presently fresh-faced young girl got
down from the train and glanced
about her. Ralston went up and stood
staring foolishly at her. 1t was the
girl of his vision. So she had been
there, had seen him while he lay in
his delirium!
She knew him, too; she put out her
hand, and mechanically he clasped it.
He helped her into the carriage and
they whirled away. And though not
word had been spoken Ralston felt his
heart leap up with ecstacy. She was
his! He blessed his stars that moth
ing had been said to the mother. She
knew-Lilian knew. He felt that with
perfect instinct. They were born for
each other, each was destined for the
other

She nodded shyly.
1T was you, then, whom I saw in
my dreams?"
She nodded again. And suddenly
he drew her to him and pressed his
lips to hers. And all pretense seemed
ludicrously absurd in the face of this
elemental and overmastering passion
that had sprung up between them.
In silence they drove the last stage
of the journey. When at last they
stopped before the cabin they de-
scended like people in a dream. Mrs.
Symon was sitting in front of the
door; she had seen and interpreted
the look upon each face.
AS they went in she said in a low
voice:
Are you not glad that told you
to waltz"
Eyes, am glad he answered help

Another Point.

The railway authorities assert that
TO meet the demands of the em-
ployes, the railroads would have to
find about $1OO,oOO,OOd a year to add
to their payrolls. 1t probably would
not stop there, for if the roads have to
pay an advance to their employees in
train service, who are now relatively
we'll paid, they will have to advance
the wages of all other classes of labor.
Railroad officials say they cannot
meet the demands on their present
revenues. Their annual statements
indicate that such is the fact. That
is their problem. 1t does not concern
the employees who are demanding
higher wages and shorter hours. But
it should concern the public. Every
citizen will have to bear his share OF
the cost and suffer his share of the
inconvenience which an interruption
to railroad service must entail. The
question for the public to consider,
therefore, is whether it is willing to
assume an additional burden 80 that a
favored group, which has the econom-
ic power to enforce its demands, may
be still more highly favored. That is
the proposition in nutshell from an
impartial public point of view.

"Big Business" in Small Town Firms.

"The small town merchant too often
is of the opiuion that it is impossible
for him to compete with the mail or
der house in big city," says J. B.
Powell, instructor in advertising in
the University of Missouri at Colum-
bia. This idea is wrong, according to
Mr.. Powell, who says that if "big
business" methods are adopted by
small concerns the annual profits will
be as large proportionately as those of
large mail order houses which send
out beautifully decorated catalogs.
Strict adherence to an accurate
system of bookkeeping, competent
clerks, store service and judicious ad-
vertising are some of the methods of
"big business" Mr.. PowellI urges.
About per cent of the years. gross
sales should be expended each year
for advertising medium. Care in the
writing OF advertisements should be
one of the most important parts oi
the "big business" system, according
to Mr.. Powell.
