WE MIsINrERPREr DEATH

We are too stupid about death.
We will not learn.
How it is wages paid to those who
earn.
How it is the gift for which on
earth we yearn.
10 be set free from bondage to
the flesh;
How it is turning seed corn into
grain.
How it is winning Heavens eter-
nal gain.
How it means freedom evermore
from pain,
How it untangles every moral
mesh.
We are so selfish about death. We
count our grief
Far more than we consider their
relief
When the great Reaper gathers in
the sheaf.
No more to know the seasons
constant change:
And we forget that it means only
life.
Life with all JOY. peace. rest and
glory rife,
The victory won. and ended all
the strife.
And Heaven no longer far away or
strange.

With $500 in money on the ia

the body of George Fisher. an old
prospector of the Cooke City dis
trict, near Livingstone, Mont, was
found by neighbors. who had
missed him from his usual haunts
Fisher had shot himself in the
temple. 1t is believed he thought
he had parted with his mines at
too low a figure. Fisher always
believed his mines had a great fu

be enormously wealthy. He willed
all his property and effects to a
friend. He was unmarried and, so
far as known, had no relatives.

rHEREw,Tn TO Be CONTENT.

What a simple thing it is to
live comfortably and we'll! One
need not distress oneself to do it.
The greater part of the nagging
vexations. the rasping cares, tho
grevious overwOrk of life come
from mans attempts to live more
comfortably and better.
Because a man desires to live
more comfortably and better, is
no sign that he is higher in the
scale of civilization that the man
content to 1--we comfortably and
we'll. This would permit us to
poorly may be of low spiritual
quality. But contentment is not
lazy satisfaction. Contcntment
is freedom from fret. Goodness
with c"ntentment is great gain
said one of the great philosoph-
ers. The active man, free from
fret, is the ideal producer in any
walk in life. He has learned a
philosophy of life much higher
than that now in common use.
Anxious caring for the body has
shortened more lives than hunger
and cold ever did. TO live com
fortably and we'll, the body re-
quires but little. One-half we
spend for food could sustain US
well. This woul permit us to
drop three-fourths of the food
worry. for the most of this worry
is done over the surplus half.
Who ever heard a robin worry
about his rations? And yet a
robin will eat his weight in worms
between daylight and dark and
carry many more to his flcdglings
AT dusk he has not yet found his
bed, nor worried about it. He has
never worm laid by for breakfast
nor has he thought to do it. But
he has time and heart for his even
ing song. If the night is stormy
he has found snug nook for his
shelter. and he could have had
his choice of hundred others.
He wakes i'm the morning with a
song in his rcpretory. though not
crumb in his cupboard. But
he wakes cheerful. and he lives
day after day comfortably and we'll
ana r"ars his family in comfort
and good health. Does a robin
want hnshel Of worms, wehn
half pint will suffice, or a blue
jay fret for Il red vest. or a wren
work h"rrsclf thin to earn a pea
cocks tail? But we wise mortais
wear our lives away crying and
reacilln. for things that cncumbcr
but DO not enrich when we know
by bitter experience that las rich
increase. so are they increased
that eat them"
The greatest step toward real
wealth Is the curbing of foolish
desire. Wealth IS not stuff.
Wealth is a feeling of fullncss-
feeling. A man may subtract
from or add to- his desire at VIII
He may be rich, or he may be poor
as he plcaSes to feel. Most pco-
pie wish themselves into constant
poverty. One will be genuinely
rich and able to make many others

 And fate has so outlined the work for these little brownies that they will visit only the persons whose circum- stances are not the best. Those who have been the most fortunate in life's $ struggle will, in this instance. be the least fortunate, for their homes are not to be giaddened by the smiling, cheery face of q fairy.
 Some $50 families are to be visited or made happy during this day. At least that number of Christmas bas- kets have been prepared, each filled with the sea ason's cheer. The diStrlbu- tion will start at an early hour and will not be concluded until late tonight. No less than 1900 persons will directly benefit, it was announced.

CHANGES MAY BE
 MADE AT CAPITOL

In preparation of the coming sessions of the legislature, workmen were busy all day yesterday and the day before cleaning up the chamber in which the house holds it's sessions, redecorating the walls and tearing up things in general A similar course of regenera- tion will be applied to the senate chamber.
 The committee rooms are at present occupied by the state superintendent of public instruction. the adjutant general and the state engineer. They have not as vet started to move out. and it is not known whether they will be forced to vacate
 At the last session of the legislature, the adjutant general moved into what he called his field headquarters, a sort If shack erected for him in the hall The state engineer moved out of the building entirely, taking a residence near the state house. Houses are so scarce now in the Capitol addition that it is doubtful if quarters can be found for his department. In the case of the superintendent of public instruc- tion. room for his force has always been found downstairs on the first floor That floor though at the present time is uncomfortably crowded noth- ing but an empty elevator shaft being unoccupied. It is not thought that he would be content with it.
 It was suggested yesterday that the adjutant general erect one of his mili- tary tents in the rear of the state house, put in wooden floors, extra side walls. electric lights, and take to the field in the real sense He has not decided as yet what he will do.
 Governor Hasn't Moved
 Governor Hunt has not as yet shown any disposition to leave the state house. Although tentatively the gov ernor is to surrender his suite of offices to Governor elect Campbell on the first of the year, there has been no move thus far to clear out the office of the governors personal effects.
 No information could be obtained yesterday as to whether or not he in tended to move. Seemingly no one had instructions to give out that informa- tion. A smile and an T don't know was about the only answer which could be obtained. It was noted though that the governor was busy going through his private desk and sorting out private papers. This was excused by one of the clerks on the ground that he was getting busy for the new year. Perhaps.

JOHN MONTGOMERY
 IS SERIOUSLY ILL

Word was received in the city yes terday of the serious illness of John B. Montgomery, who resides at Palo Verde A few days ago he was seized with pneumonia and the ailment has so progressed that fears are enter tained that he may not recover. MT. Montgomery is one of the pioneers of the valley. When he came here there was very little of Phoenix. He owned tract of land south and west of the town, which was later plated and is now a part of the city known as Mont gomery addition.
 MT. Montgomery was one of the few republicans who lived here in the early days, but he was so popular and so commanded the confidence of all that in 1890 he was elected sheriff of the county He sought no other office after that and when his term expired
